[0046] Furthermore, the lock body also includes a push rod 6, which is disposed inside the lock housing. One end of the push rod 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 4, and the other end of the push rod 6 is used to push the bolt 2. Specifically, a buffer pad, such as a rubber pad, can be provided on the end face of the push rod 6 that contacts the bolt 2 to reduce the vibration generated when the push rod 6 impacts the bolt 2.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, furthermore, the lock body also includes a control module 7 and a communication module 8. The control module 7 is disposed within the lock housing 1 and electrically connected to the drive assembly 5; the communication module 8 is disposed on the control module 7 and electrically connected to the control module 7. Specifically, the communication module 8 includes any one or more of a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module, and an NFC module, allowing the user to establish a connection with the communication module 8 via a mobile phone to control the opening and closing of the drive assembly 5.
[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lock body further includes a limit switch 9. The limit switch 9 is disposed inside the lock housing 1 and electrically connected to the control module 7. The limit switch 9 is provided with a slide groove 901 and a contact rod 902. The contact rod 902 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 901. The slider 4 is provided with a slot 402. The slot 402 engages with one end of the contact rod 902 to drive the contact rod 902 to slide. Specifically, when the slider 4 drives the contact rod 902 to slide in the slide groove 901 to the ends of both ends of the slide groove 901 through the slot 402, the bolt 2 will be in the locked or unlocked position. The contact rod 902 will trigger the limit switch 9, thereby controlling the drive assembly 5 to stop rotating through the control module 7. It should be noted that the control module 7, communication module 8, and limit switch 9 in this embodiment are all commonly used accessories in the present invention.
