Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart lock technology, and in particular to a waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock. Background Technology

[0002] For smart locks with keypads commonly found in existing technologies, the keypads are mostly capacitive touch buttons. The design of capacitive touch buttons directly affects their sensitivity, stability, and anti-interference capabilities. The key is to ensure that the capacitance changes when a person touches the button can be effectively detected, while avoiding interference from the external environment.

[0003] Capacitive touch buttons rely on an electric field penetrating the panel for detection. Therefore, the panel material must meet the core characteristic of being "insulated but not shielding the electric field." Insulation: It must use insulating materials (resistivity ≥ 10). 12 (Ω·cm), and the use of conductive materials such as metals and conductive plastics is prohibited (as they will shield the electric field, preventing the transmission of touch signals). Commonly accepted materials include: glass (tempered glass, ordinary glass), acrylic (PMMA), PC (polycarbonate), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and ABS plastic (insulation type needs to be confirmed), etc.

[0004] Therefore, in order to increase the service life of the unlocking box of the smart lock in the prior art, it is usually made of metal and has an installation port. Then, a capacitive touch button panel, which is insulated and does not shield the electric field, is embedded in the installation port. Although this operation method is very common, the inventor of this patent found in the process of its application that it still has certain defects and shortcomings.

[0005] Specifically, on the one hand, the capacitive touch button panel made of embedded glass or plastic is relatively fragile. When it is frequently touched and pressed, it is easily deformed, resulting in a gap between its periphery and the inner wall of the mounting opening. This makes the interior of the unlocking box poorly waterproof and dustproof, leading to poor reliability. On the other hand, the capacitive touch button panel made of embedded glass or plastic is relatively fragile. When it is frequently touched and pressed or impacted by external objects, it is easily broken, resulting in a short service life.

[0006] In response, the inventor of this patent, drawing on experience, deeply considered the problems encountered in his work, reviewed a large amount of scientific research data and literature, and gradually conceived and designed this application through a novelty search to solve the relevant technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock.

[0008] To achieve one of the above objectives, a waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lock body, an actuator, and a microcontroller connected in sequence, and also includes an unlocking box.

[0009] The unlocking box is equipped with a password recognition module connected to the microcontroller. The front end of the unlocking box is open and sealed with a metal panel. The metal panel has multiple digital password holes that penetrate its inner and outer ends for inputting the digital password for unlocking. Sealant is injected into the multiple digital password holes.

[0010] When multiple digital keyholes are touched to input the correct unlocking digital password, the password recognition module generates a first unlocking trigger signal and transmits it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then controls the actuator to open the lock body based on the first unlocking trigger signal.

[0011] In addition, the waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock according to the above embodiments of this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sealant injected into each of the digital password holes is a transparent sealant;

[0013] The unlocking box is equipped with a first PCB board inside. The password recognition module consists of multiple infrared transceiver modules disposed on the outer end face of the first PCB board, with the multiple infrared transceiver modules positioned opposite the multiple digital password holes.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the unlocking box body is further provided with a second PCB board, and the outer end face of the second PCB board is provided with a palm vein recognition module connected to the microcontroller;

[0015] The metal panel has an opening facing the second PCB board, and a light-transmitting sealing cover is provided at the opening.

[0016] When the palm is placed against the outer end face of the light-transmitting sealing cover so that the palm vein is recognized by the palm vein recognition module, the palm vein recognition module generates a second unlocking trigger signal and transmits it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller controls the actuator to open the lock body according to the second unlocking trigger signal.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer end face of the second PCB board is further provided with a face recognition lens connected to the microcontroller; the outer end face of the light-transmitting sealing cover has an opening to expose the face recognition lens;

[0018] When a person's face is brought close to the face recognition lens for identification, the face recognition lens generates a third unlocking trigger signal and transmits it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then controls the actuator to open the lock body based on the third unlocking trigger signal.

[0019] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer end face of the second PCB board is further provided with an infrared sensing module connected to the microcontroller;

[0020] When the palm is placed against the outer end face of the light-transmitting sealing cover or the face is brought close to the face recognition lens, the infrared sensing module generates a trigger signal to wake up the palm vein recognition module or the face recognition lens, so that they can recognize the palm vein and the face respectively.

[0021] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the unlocking box body is arranged vertically and formed into a flat elongated structure, with an upper connecting seat at the upper rear and a lower connecting seat at the lower rear.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a fingerprint reader connected to the microcontroller is provided on the rear end face of the unlocking box.

[0023] When a fingerprint is placed against the fingerprint reader for recognition, the fingerprint reader generates a fourth unlocking trigger signal and transmits it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then controls the actuator to open the lock body based on the fourth unlocking trigger signal.

[0024] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the unlocking box is further provided with a rechargeable power module for powering the microcontroller, and the rear end face of the unlocking box is further provided with a charging interface for charging the rechargeable power module.

[0025] The charging interface, the rechargeable power module, and the microcontroller are connected in sequence.

[0026] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the unlocking box is further provided with a speaker that outputs sound prompts when a digital password, palm vein, face or fingerprint is entered for unlocking;

[0027] The rear end face of the unlocking box has an amplification hole facing the speaker; the speaker is connected to the microcontroller.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a decorative plate is connected between the rear end of the upper connecting seat and the rear end of the lower connecting seat.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0030] Firstly, the waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock provided in this application, in its specific implementation, features a metal panel that is a single piece with multiple digital keyholes penetrating its inner and outer surfaces for inputting the unlocking password. These keyholes are filled with sealant, eliminating the need for multiple operation ports on the metal panel and the installation of plastic operation buttons or capacitive touch buttons. This results in virtually no gaps on the outer surface of the metal panel. The sealant filling the keyholes ensures good sealing, resulting in excellent waterproof and dustproof performance when the front end of the lock housing is exposed outside the door. External water stains and dust are less likely to penetrate the metal panel through its outer surface, ensuring good waterproof and dustproof performance for all internal electronic components. Furthermore, the metal panel is durable, contributing to its long service life.

[0031] Secondly, by eliminating the need to open multiple operation ports on the metal panel and embed operation buttons or capacitive touch buttons made of plastic, the problem of plastic parts easily deforming and causing gaps at multiple operation ports when frequently pressed is avoided. In other words, this application uses a whole metal panel as the touchpad for unlocking, which is hard, firm and not easily deformed, making the whole application very stable and reliable in use.

[0032] Thirdly, in addition to digital password recognition unlocking, this application also has palm vein recognition unlocking, facial recognition unlocking, and fingerprint recognition unlocking functions, making the unlocking methods more diverse and the usage more flexible.

[0033] Fourthly, this application includes a built-in rechargeable power module to power the microcontroller and other electronic components, eliminating the need for an external power supply cord. The rechargeable power module can be charged via the charging interface, ensuring uninterrupted operation and making the application highly convenient. Furthermore, the inclusion of a speaker provides audio prompts to the user, indicating whether the entered digital password, palm vein, facial recognition, or fingerprint is correct, further enhancing the user experience.

Figure 7 This is a reference diagram showing the usage status of the waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock 1000 of this utility model;

[0078] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown;

[0079] The waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock 1000 provided according to the embodiments of the present utility model includes a lock body 10, an actuator 20, and a microcontroller 30 connected in sequence. The improvement of this application is that it also includes an unlocking box 40.

[0080] Among them, the comparison Figure 3 As shown, the unlocking box 40 is equipped with a password recognition module 401 connected to the microcontroller 30. The front end of the unlocking box 40 forms an open opening and is sealed with a metal panel 402. The metal panel 402 has multiple digital password holes 4021 that penetrate its inner and outer ends for inputting the digital password for unlocking. Sealant 4022 is poured into the multiple digital password holes 4021.

[0081] When multiple digital keyholes 4021 are touched to input a pre-set correct digital password for unlocking, the password recognition module 401 generates a first unlocking trigger signal and transmits it to the microcontroller 30. The microcontroller 30 controls the actuator 20 to open the lock body 10 according to the first unlocking trigger signal.

[0082] Conversely, if the numeric password entered by the operator is incorrect, the password recognition module 401 will not generate the first unlocking trigger signal, and the lock body 10 will not open.

[0083] Based on the above, it is clear that in specific implementation, this application is mainly used as a waterproof, dustproof, long-life smart lock 1000.

[0084] Specifically, when applying this application, refer to Figure 7As shown, this application is installed on various doors 2000, with the front end of the unlocking box 40 facing outwards. After powering on this application, the operator can touch the metal panel 402 with their finger to input a digital password for unlocking. When the correct digital password for unlocking is input, the password recognition module 401 will generate a first unlocking trigger signal and transmit the generated first unlocking trigger signal to the microcontroller 30. The microcontroller 30 will then control the actuator 20 to open the lock body 10 according to the first unlocking trigger signal, thus enabling the door 2000 to be opened.

[0085] Regarding the above, it is quite clear that:

[0086] On the one hand, since the metal panel 402 described in this application is a single piece, with multiple digital password holes 4021 penetrating its inner and outer ends for inputting the digital password for unlocking, and sealant 4022 is filled into the multiple digital password holes 4021, it is possible to eliminate the need to open multiple operation ports on the metal panel 402 and install operation buttons or capacitive touch buttons made of plastic material. This makes the outer end face of the metal panel 402 of this application basically without any gaps. The multiple digital password holes 4021 are filled with sealant 4022, which also makes them well sealed. As a result, the front end face of the unlocking box 40 of this application has good waterproof and dustproof performance when exposed to the door body 2000. External water stains and dust are not easy to penetrate into the metal panel 402 through the outer end face, which makes the various electronic structural components inside have good waterproof and dustproof performance. In addition, the metal panel 402 is also hard, which makes its service life long.

[0087] On the other hand, by eliminating the need to open multiple operation ports on the metal panel 402 and embed operation buttons or capacitive touch buttons made of plastic, the problem of plastic parts being easily deformed when frequently pressed, resulting in gaps at multiple operation ports, is avoided.

[0088] In other words, this application uses a single piece of metal panel 402 as the touchpad for unlocking. Its texture is hard, solid, and not easily deformed, making the whole structure of this application very stable and reliable in use.

[0089] Furthermore, through the above-mentioned optimized design, the whole constituted by this application is highly practical and has a good effect in use.

[0090] Preferably, in this technical solution, compared with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the sealant 4022 injected into each of the digital password holes 4021 is a transparent sealant 4022;

[0091] The unlocking box 40 is equipped with a first PCB board 403 inside. The password recognition module 401 consists of multiple infrared light transceiver modules disposed on the outer end face of the first PCB board 403. The multiple infrared light transceiver modules are located opposite the multiple digital password holes 4021.

[0092] Therefore, when the user touches the correct digital keyholes 4021 one by one in the correct order of the pre-set unlocking password, the infrared light emitted from the digital keyholes 4021 will be blocked accordingly, so that the infrared light transceiver modules will eventually generate the first unlocking trigger signal and transmit the generated first unlocking trigger signal to the microcontroller 30. At this time, the microcontroller 30 will control the actuator 20 to open the lock body 10 according to the first unlocking trigger signal, thus enabling the door body 2000 to be opened.

[0093] In other words, this application adopts infrared optical communication technology and digital password verification technology, and applies them to the field of smart locks, resulting in a simple and elegant overall structure with a novel design.

[0094] Furthermore, in specific implementation, in accordance with... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present utility model, the unlocking box 40 is further provided with a second PCB board 404 inside, and the outer end face of the second PCB board 404 is provided with a palm vein recognition module 405 connected to the microcontroller 30.

[0095] The metal panel 402 has an opening 4023 facing the second PCB board 404, and a light-transmitting sealing cover 406 is provided at the opening 4023.

[0096] Therefore, when the palm is placed against the outer end face of the light-transmitting sealing cover 406 so that the palm vein is recognized by the palm vein recognition module 405 and matches the preset one, the palm vein recognition module 405 will generate a second unlocking trigger signal and transmit it to the microcontroller 30. The microcontroller 30 will then control the actuator 20 to open the lock body 10 according to the second unlocking trigger signal, thus enabling the door body 2000 to be opened.

[0097] Conversely, when the operator's palm vein is not recognized by the palm vein recognition module 405, that is, when it is different from the preset one, the palm vein recognition module 405 will not generate the second unlocking trigger signal, and the lock body 10 will not be opened, nor will the corresponding door body 2000 with the lock body 10 be opened.

[0098] Therefore, in addition to having digital password recognition and unlocking functions, this application also has palm vein recognition and unlocking functions, making the unlocking methods diverse and flexible in use.

[0099] Furthermore, in the specific implementation, we will continue to refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer end face of the second PCB board 404 is further provided with a face recognition lens 407 connected to the microcontroller 30; the outer end face of the light-transmitting sealing cover 406 has an opening 4061 to expose the face recognition lens 407.

[0100] When a person's face is brought close to the face recognition lens 407 and recognized as matching a pre-set match, the face recognition lens 407 generates a third unlocking trigger signal and transmits it to the microcontroller 30. The microcontroller 30 controls the actuator 20 to open the lock body 10 according to the third unlocking trigger signal, thus enabling the door body 2000 to be opened.

[0101] Conversely, when the operator's face is not recognized by the face recognition lens 407, that is, when it is different from the preset face, the face recognition lens 407 will not generate the third unlocking trigger signal. At this time, the lock body 10 will not be opened, and the corresponding door body 2000 with the lock body 10 will not be opened.

[0102] Therefore, in addition to having digital password recognition and palm vein recognition unlocking functions, this application also has a face recognition unlocking function, making the unlocking methods more diverse and the use more flexible.

[0103] Furthermore, in this technical solution, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the outer end face of the second PCB board 404 is also provided with an infrared sensing module 408 connected to the microcontroller 30; the infrared sensing module 408 is located next to the palm vein recognition module 405 and the face recognition lens 407 so that they are adjacent to each other.

[0104] When the palm is placed against the outer end face of the light-transmitting sealing cover 406 or the face is brought close to the face recognition lens 407, the infrared sensing module 408 generates a trigger signal to wake up the palm vein recognition module 405 or the face recognition lens 407, so that they can recognize the palm vein and the face respectively.

[0105] Therefore, it is clear that when the palm vein recognition module 405 and the face recognition lens 407 are not in use, they are both in a dormant state, saving energy. When they are needed, that is, when the palm is placed against the outer end face of the light-transmitting sealing cover 406 or the face is brought close to the face recognition lens 407, the infrared sensing module 408 will generate a trigger signal to wake up the palm vein recognition module 405 or the face recognition lens 407, so that they can recognize the palm vein and the face respectively, so that the lock can be unlocked after the recognition is correct and matches the preset value.

[0106] Furthermore, in specific implementation, in accordance with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present utility model, the unlocking box body 40 is arranged vertically and formed into a flat elongated structure, with an upper connecting seat 409 at the upper rear and a lower connecting seat 410 at the lower rear.

[0107] Thus, when both the upper connecting seat 409 and the lower connecting seat 410 are connected to the door body 2000, the unlocking box 40 of this application can be used directly as a door handle, making this application a dual-purpose device with enhanced practicality.

[0108] And based on this, in this application, in contrast to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the rear end face of the unlocking box 40 is provided with a fingerprint reader 411 connected to the microcontroller 30;

[0109] When a fingerprint is placed on the fingerprint reader 411 and recognized as matching a pre-set fingerprint, the fingerprint reader 411 generates a fourth unlocking trigger signal and transmits it to the microcontroller 30. The microcontroller 30 controls the actuator 20 to open the lock body 10 according to the fourth unlocking trigger signal, thus enabling the door body 2000 to be opened.

[0110] Conversely, when the operator's fingerprint is not recognized by the fingerprint reader 411, that is, when it is different from the preset one, the fingerprint reader 411 will not generate the fourth unlocking trigger signal. At this time, the lock body 10 will not open, and the corresponding door body 2000 with the lock body 10 will not be opened.

[0111] It should be noted that when the upper connecting seat 409 and the lower connecting seat 410 are both connected to the door body 2000, so that the unlocking box 40 of this application can be used directly as a door handle, there will be a certain operating gap between the rear end face of the unlocking box 40 and the surface of the door body 2000. At this time, the operator can touch the fingerprint reader 411 with his fingertip. When the fingerprint is recognized and matches the preset one, the fingerprint reader 411 will generate a fourth unlocking trigger signal and transmit the generated fourth unlocking trigger signal to the microcontroller 30. The microcontroller 30 will then control the actuator 20 to open the lock body 10 according to the fourth unlocking trigger signal, thus opening the door body 2000.

[0112] Furthermore, placing the fingerprint reader 411 on the rear end face of the unlocking box 40 makes it well concealed, less susceptible to damage from external objects, and extends its service life.

[0113] Furthermore, in addition to having digital password recognition unlocking function, palm vein recognition unlocking function, and face recognition unlocking function, this application also has fingerprint recognition unlocking function, making the unlocking methods more diversified and the usage more flexible.

[0114] Furthermore, in specific implementation, it is necessary to refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present utility model, the unlocking box 40 is further provided with a rechargeable power module 412 for supplying power to the microcontroller 30, and the rear end face of the unlocking box 40 is further provided with a charging interface 413 for charging the rechargeable power module 412.

[0115] The charging interface 413, the rechargeable power module 412, and the microcontroller 30 are connected in sequence.

[0116] Therefore, it is clear that this application has a built-in rechargeable power module 412 that supplies power to the microcontroller 30 and other electronic components. This eliminates the need for an external power supply when using this application. The rechargeable power module 412 can be charged by connecting an external power source through the charging interface 413, allowing the application to be used uninterruptedly and making it very convenient to use.

[0117] Furthermore, in this technical solution, we continue to compare... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present utility model, the unlocking box 40 is further provided with a speaker 414 that outputs sound prompts when a digital password, palm vein, face or fingerprint is entered for unlocking;

[0118] The unlocking box 40 has a sound amplification hole 415 facing the speaker 414 on its rear end face; the speaker 414 is connected to the microcontroller 30.

[0119] Therefore, by setting up the speaker 414, it is possible to provide sound prompts to the operator to indicate whether the entered unlocking digital password, palm vein, face or fingerprint is correct, thus making the user experience of this application better.

[0120] Furthermore, preferably, in specific implementation, it should be compared with... Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a decorative plate 416 is connected between the rear end of the upper connecting seat 409 and the rear end of the lower connecting seat 410.

[0121] Thus, by setting the decorative panel 416 to connect the upper connecting seat 409 and the lower connecting seat 410, the overall structure of the unlocking box 40 of this application is made more stable. When the decorative panel 416 is attached to the surface of the door 2000, it can also increase the three-dimensionality of the entire door 2000 with the unlocking box 40 of this application, making the application more beautiful and grand in use.

[0122] It should be added that, in specific implementation, the actuator 20 described in this application is located inside the lock body 10, and the microcontroller 30 and the rechargeable power module 412 are located inside the unlocking box 40.

[0123] Other embodiments, etc., will not be described here.

[0124] In summary, the waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock 1000 provided in this application, in its specific implementation, features a metal panel 402 that is a single piece with multiple digital password holes 4021 penetrating its inner and outer ends for inputting the unlocking password. Sealant 4022 is injected into these digital password holes 4021. This eliminates the need for multiple operation ports on the metal panel 402 and the installation of operation buttons or capacitive touch buttons made of plastic. The outer end face of the metal panel 402 is virtually seamless. The sealant 4022 inside the digital password holes 4021 ensures good sealing, resulting in good waterproof and dustproof performance when the front end of the unlocking box 40 is exposed outside the door 2000. External water stains and dust are less likely to penetrate the metal panel 402 through its outer end face, ensuring good waterproof and dustproof performance for all internal electronic components and extending its service life.

[0125] Furthermore, by eliminating the need to open multiple operation ports on the metal panel 402 and embed operation buttons or capacitive touch buttons made of plastic, the problem of plastic parts easily deforming and causing gaps at the operation ports when frequently pressed is avoided. In other words, this application uses a whole metal panel 402 as the touchpad for unlocking, which is hard, strong and not easily deformed, making the whole application very stable and reliable in use.

[0126] In addition to digital password recognition unlocking, this application also features palm vein recognition unlocking, facial recognition unlocking, and fingerprint recognition unlocking, making the unlocking methods more diverse and offering greater flexibility.

[0127] Furthermore, this application includes a built-in rechargeable power module 412 that powers the microcontroller 30 and other electronic components, eliminating the need for an external power supply when using the application. The rechargeable power module 412 can be charged by connecting an external power source through the charging interface 413, ensuring uninterrupted use and making the application very convenient to use.

[0128] Furthermore, by setting up the speaker 414, it is possible to provide audio prompts to the operator to indicate whether the entered unlocking password, palm vein, face or fingerprint is correct, thus making the user experience of this application better.

[0129] Furthermore, the waterproof, dustproof, and long-life smart lock 1000 provided in this application is indeed highly practical and has excellent performance, which makes this application inherently valuable for market promotion and will certainly be very popular and effectively popularized.
