[0030] Specifically, the knob hole in the rear housing 19 provides a mounting position for the knob 24, and the retaining spring 27 fixes the knob 24 to prevent it from falling off, ensuring that the knob 24 rotates stably; the knob 24 is connected to the blade rod 16 through the blade rod groove 17, realizing the power transmission from the operation of the rear lock 2 to the blade rod 16, thereby controlling the action of the square tongue 3; the first motor 21 cooperates with the square rod groove 28 of the knob 24, and can drive the knob 24 to rotate through the motor to realize intelligent unlocking; the locking tongue 34 of the clutch assembly 22 is connected to the knob 24 retaining groove 35, which can lock the knob 24 when the child lock function is activated, restricting its rotation and preventing children from accidentally unlocking; the blade rod 16 connects the front lock 1 and the rear lock 2, ensuring the synchronization of the operation on both sides and ensuring that the action of the square tongue 3 is consistent.
[0031] The rear cover 19 has a battery slot, and the battery 25 is clipped into the battery slot. The rear cover 19 has a Hall sensor 30 for detecting the door opening and closing status and a power board 29. The Hall sensor 30 and the power board 29 are electrically connected. The rear cover 19 has a child mode button 26. When the child mode is turned on, the second motor 33 drives the bolt 34 to move and engage with the slot 35. When the child mode is turned off, the second motor 33 drives the bolt 34 to move and disengage from the slot 35.
[0032] Specifically, the battery slot provides installation space for the battery 25, and the snap-fit design facilitates battery replacement; the Hall sensor 30 can detect the door's open / closed status and transmit the signal to the control system via the power board 29 to ensure door lock status feedback; the child mode button 26 is used to trigger the child lock function. When open, the second motor 33 drives the bolt 34 to engage with the slot 35, locking the knob 24 so that it cannot be turned, thus achieving the child lock effect and preventing children from accidentally opening the door from the inside; when closed, the bolt 34 disengages from the slot 35, and the knob 24 resumes its rotation function, balancing safety and normal use needs.
[0033] The knob 24 has a square rod, which is connected to the square rod groove 28. The rear cover 19 has a normally open button 31, and the rear cover 20 has a second cable outlet groove 32. The rear cover 20 is connected to the rear cover 19 by connecting bolts.
[0034] Specifically, the square rod of the knob 24 cooperates with the square rod slot 28 to enhance the stability of the connection between the knob 24 and the first motor 21, ensuring reliable power transmission when the motor is driven; the normally open button 31 can keep the door lock in the normally open state, facilitating entry and exit in specific scenarios; the second wiring slot 32 of the rear cover plate 20 provides a storage channel for the internal wiring, preventing the wiring from being damaged by pressure; the connecting bolts fix the rear cover plate 20 and the rear shell 19 to ensure the sealing of the internal components of the rear lock 2, preventing dust and moisture from entering, and facilitating later maintenance.
[0035] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0036] In use, the front lock 1 and the rear lock 2 are first connected via the blade rod 16. One end of the blade rod 16 passes through the blade rod groove 17 of the knob 24 of the rear lock 2, and the other end is connected to the square latch 3, ensuring that the front and rear lock operations can synchronously control the extension and retraction of the square latch 3. The magnet box 23 of the rear cover 19 assists in aligning the front and rear locks on both sides of the door. The battery 25 is inserted into the battery slot of the rear cover 19 to power the door lock. The lens 8 of the front cover 9 is fixed with adhesive to protect the touch port and fingerprint module 10. The rear cover 20 is connected to the rear cover 19 with connecting bolts to form a closed space.
[0037] Next, during routine unlocking operations, external users can verify their fingerprints via the fingerprint module 10 on the front housing 9 or enter a password via the touch port on the touchpad motherboard 5. After successful verification, the first motor 21 inside the rear housing 19 drives the knob 24 to rotate, causing the blade lever 16 to retract the latch 3 and complete the unlocking. The OLED display 6 shows the operation status. If the smart function malfunctions, a key can be inserted into the blade lock cylinder 4 to rotate the blade lever 16 for mechanical unlocking. Indoor users can directly rotate the knob 24 on the rear housing 19 to control the latch 3, and pressing the normally open button 31 will keep the door lock in the normally open state.
[0038] When the child lock function needs to be activated, press the child mode button 26 on the rear cover 19. The second motor 33 drives the latch 34 to engage with the slot 35 of the knob 24, locking the knob 24 to prevent children from accidentally opening the door. To release, press the button again, and the latch 34 will disengage from the slot 35, restoring the knob 24 to its original function. During use, the Hall sensor 30 inside the rear cover 19 detects the door's open / closed status and transmits this information to the system via the power board 29, where it is displayed on the OLED screen 6. The first wiring channel 18 of the front cover 12 and the second wiring channel 32 of the rear cover 20 store the wiring to prevent damage. The front cover 12 is connected to the front cover 9 via a limiting bracket 14, allowing for disassembly and inspection of internal components.
[0039] Its main functions are as follows: the blade rod 16 and the knob 24 work together to synchronize the front and rear lock operations, ensuring that the square bolt 3 moves in a consistent manner; the fingerprint module 10, the touchpad motherboard 5 and the OLED display screen 6 constitute an intelligent unlocking system, improving ease of use; the blade lock cylinder 4 serves as a backup to ensure unlocking reliability; the child lock function, through the linkage of the second motor 33 and the bolt 34, prevents children from accidentally opening the door, balancing safety and practicality; the Hall sensor 30 and the display screen provide feedback on the door lock status, making it easy for users to keep track of the situation; the wiring channel protects the circuit, and the cover plate connection structure ensures both sealing and easy maintenance, thus improving the overall safety, convenience and durability of the door lock.
[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
