[0042] like Figure 1-10As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a gear clutch mechanism for a lock, including a housing body 1, an output gear 2, a planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3, and a drive component 4. The housing body 1 includes an upper housing cover 5 and a lower housing 6. The upper housing cover 5 is fastened to the lower housing 6, and the upper housing cover 5 closes the lower housing 6 to form a receiving cavity 7. The output gear 2 is rotatably installed in the receiving cavity 7. An opening slot 8 is provided on one side of the lower housing 6. The gear teeth 18 of the output gear 2 extend radially out of the opening slot 8, and the output gear 2 outputs power through the gear teeth 18 protruding from the opening slot 8. The planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 is swingably installed in the receiving cavity 7. The planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 includes a drive gear 9, a planet carrier 10, a first planetary gear 11, and a second planetary gear 12. The drive gear 9 is rotatably installed at the center of the planet carrier 10. The first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 are both rotatably installed on the planet carrier 10. Planetary gears 12 are symmetrically located on both sides of the driving gear 9. The driving gear 9 meshes with the first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 respectively. The driving component 4 is fastened to the bottom side of the lower housing 6. The output shaft 13 of the driving component 4 extends into the receiving cavity 7. The output shaft 13 engages with and drives the driving gear 9. The driving component 4 drives the driving gear 9 in the forward direction. The planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 swings to the first position S1, so that the first planetary gear 11 meshes with the output gear 2. The driving component 4 drives the driving gear 9 in the reverse direction. The planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 swings to the second position S2, so that the second planetary gear 12 meshes with the output gear 2. The upper housing cover 5 is provided with a first limiting part 14 and a second limiting part 15. When the planetary mechanism swings to the first position S1, the first limiting part 14 abuts against the first end face 16 of the planetary carrier 10. When the planetary mechanism swings to the second position S2, the second limiting part 15 abuts against the second end face 17 of the planetary carrier 10. This clutch mechanism drives the planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 to swing and engage the output gear 2 through the drive component 4. The output gear 2 can drive the lock tongue to move in and out, thereby realizing the opening and closing action. The overall structure of this clutch mechanism is relatively simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the clutch is reliable.
[0043] Specifically, the upper cover 5 is a plate structure, and the lower cover 6 is a rectangular shell structure. The upper cover 5 is fitted onto the lower cover 6 to form a receiving cavity 7. The planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 and the output gear 2 are both installed in the receiving cavity 7. The planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 can swing to a first position S1 and a second position S2. To facilitate the transmission connection between the output gear 2 and external components (such as the latch assembly), an opening slot 8 is provided on one side of the lower cover 6. The gear teeth 18 of the output gear 2 extend outward from the opening slot 8 to facilitate the connection between the output gear 2 and the latch transmission assembly. The planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 includes a planet carrier 10, a driving gear 9, a first planetary gear 11, and a second planetary gear 12. The first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 have the same structure. The planet carrier 10 is similar to a V-shaped structure, with its V-shaped opening facing the output gear 2, which can shorten the swing stroke of the planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3. More specifically, the driving gear 9 is rotatably mounted at the center of the included angle of the V-shape. The first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 are symmetrically arranged and mounted at both ends of the V-shape. The driving gear 9 meshes with both the first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12, so that when the driving gear 9 rotates, both the first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 rotate in the same direction. In this embodiment, the driving component 4 is a geared motor, and the output shaft 13 of the geared motor is rigidly connected to the driving gear 9. The geared motor can be controlled to rotate forward and backward via a microchip. Normally, forward rotation of the geared motor is set to lock the device, and reverse rotation is set to unlock the device. More specifically, when the geared motor rotates, it drives the driving gear 9 to rotate. The rotation of the driving gear 9 generates a certain frictional force and inertial force on the planetary carrier 10, causing the planetary gears to rotate together with the planetary carrier 10. When the planetary gears mesh with the output gear 2, the power of the driving gear 9 is output to the output gear 2 through the planetary gears, thereby realizing the power output of the output gear 2. It should be noted that when the geared motor rotates in the forward direction, the friction and inertia between the driving gear 9 and the planetary carrier 10 cause the planetary carrier 10 to swing towards the first position S1. When the planetary carrier 10 swings to the first position S1, the first planetary gear 11 engages the output gear 2, and the power of the driving gear 9 is output to the output gear 2 via the second planetary gear 12, realizing the locking action. When the geared motor rotates in the reverse direction, the friction and inertia between the driving gear 9 and the planetary carrier 10 cause the planetary carrier 10 to swing towards the second position S2. When the planetary carrier 10 swings to the second position S2, the second planetary gear 12 engages the output gear 2, and the power of the driving gear 9 is output to the output gear 2 via the second planetary gear 12, realizing the unlocking action. Obviously, if neither the first planetary gear 11 nor the second planetary gear 12 engages the output gear 2, the planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 is in an idle or disengaged state.
[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to limit the excessive rotation of the planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3 and prevent gear jamming, a first limiting part 14 and a second limiting part 15 are respectively provided on the inner side of the upper cover 5 corresponding to the first position S1 and the second position S2 of the planetary carrier 10 rotation. The first limiting part 14 and the second limiting part 15 are limiting protrusions or limiting posts. When the planetary carrier 10 rotates to the first position S1, the first limiting part 14 abuts against the first end face 16 of the planetary carrier 10, and the planetary carrier 10 cannot rotate further and stops. When the planetary carrier 10 rotates to the second position S2, the second limiting part 15 abuts against the second end face 17 of the planetary carrier 10, and the planetary carrier 10 cannot rotate further and stops. By setting the first limiting part 14 and the second limiting part 15 to limit the rotation of the planetary carrier 10, it is prevented that excessive rotation of the planetary carrier 10 will cause jamming when the first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 mesh with the output gear 2, resulting in transmission failure.
[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first mounting seat 19 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the lower housing 6, and the first mounting seat 19 is adapted to rotatably mount the output gear 2. Specifically, in order to facilitate the rotatable mounting of the output gear 2 in the receiving cavity 7, a first mounting seat 19 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the lower housing 6, and a first bearing seat 20 is formed in the first mounting seat 19. A second bearing seat 21 is provided on the inner side surface of the upper housing cover 5. The output gear 2 is rotatably mounted and connected to the first bearing seat 20 and the second bearing seat 21 through a first gear shaft 22. The first gear shaft 22 passes through the center of the output gear 2 and forms a rigid connection with the output gear 2. The lower end of the first gear shaft 22 is rotatably embedded in the first bearing seat 20 for mounting, and the upper end of the first gear shaft 22 is rotatably embedded in the second bearing seat 21 for mounting.
[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a limiting ring 23 is formed on the first mounting base 19, and a stabilizing ring 24 is provided on one end face of the output gear 2. The stabilizing ring 24 is nested within the limiting ring 23, and the stabilizing ring 24 is limited by the limiting ring 23, thereby enabling the output gear 2 to rotate stably. Specifically, in order to enable the output gear 2 to rotate stably within the receiving cavity 7, a limiting ring 23 is provided on the first mounting base 19, and a stabilizing ring 24 is provided on the lower end face of the output gear 2. Both the limiting ring 23 and the stabilizing ring 24 are annular protrusions. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 23 is adapted to the inner diameter of the stabilizing ring 24, so that the stabilizing ring 24 can be nested within the limiting ring 23, and the output gear 2 can rotate with low resistance without wobbling.
[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a second mounting base 25 is provided on the bottom surface of the lower housing 6, and the drive component 4 is securely mounted in the second mounting base 25. The output shaft 13 passes through the lower housing 6 and extends into the receiving cavity 7. Specifically, in order to facilitate the fixed installation and power transmission of the geared motor, a second mounting base 25 is provided on the bottom surface of the lower housing 6. The second mounting base 25 can accommodate the geared motor, and the second mounting base 25 can be fitted with fastening screws to securely install the geared motor. The second mounting base 25 is provided with a first through hole 26, and the inner side of the upper shell cover 5 is also provided with a third shaft seat 27. The output shaft 13 passes through the first through hole 26 and is rigidly connected to the drive gear 9. The upper end of the output shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the third shaft seat 27. When the geared motor drives the output shaft 13 to rotate, the geared motor drives the drive gear 9 to rotate together. The drive gear 9 drives the first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 to rotate simultaneously. Power is output synchronously from the first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12. At the same time, the planet carrier 10 swings, and the first planetary gear 11 or the second planetary gear 12 engages the output gear 2 individually, thereby realizing the power transmission from the geared motor to the output gear 2. Preferably, in this embodiment, the output shaft 13 is formed as a D-shaped shaft, the drive gear 9 is formed with a D-shaped hole 28, and the planet carrier 10 is provided with a second through hole 29. The output shaft 13 passes through the D-shaped hole 28 and is first rigidly connected to the drive gear 9. Then, the upper end of the output shaft 13 passes through the second through hole 29 and is installed and connected to the third shaft seat 27. The output shaft 13 is tightly fitted with the second through hole 29, and the output shaft 13 can rotate within the second through hole 29.
[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 are equipped with second gear shafts 30 and are rotatably mounted on the planet carrier 10. A first slot 31 is provided at the upper end of the second gear shaft 30, and an E-type buckle 32 is adapted to engage the second gear shaft 30 onto the planet carrier 10. Specifically, to facilitate the rotatable mounting of the planetary gears onto the planet carrier 10, both the first planetary gear 11 and the second planetary gear 12 are equipped with second gear shafts 30. A first slot 31 is provided at the upper end of the second gear shaft 30, and an E-type buckle 32 is adapted to engage the second gear shaft 30 with the planet carrier 10. The two planetary gears are rigidly connected to the second gear shafts 30 respectively. Thus, under the action of the driving gear 9, the second gear shaft 30 can overcome the resistance of the E-type and rotate, thereby realizing the power transmission of the planetary gears. It should be noted that in actual product applications, when installing the E-type buckle 32, applying some grease to the first slot 31 can improve the smoothness of the rotation of the second gear shaft 30. Preferably, in some embodiments, the planetary gear can also be configured with a bearing to rotatably connect with the second gear shaft 30, which can effectively improve the smoothness of the planetary gear power transmission and reduce transmission resistance.
[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lower housing 6 is provided with positioning posts 33 and mounting posts 34, and the upper housing cover 5 is provided with positioning holes 35 and mounting holes 36. The positioning posts 33 are fitted into the positioning holes 35 to position and install the upper housing cover 5, and the mounting posts 34 are fitted into the mounting holes 36 to securely install the upper housing cover 5. Specifically, to facilitate the secure installation of the lower housing 6 and the upper housing cover 5, four mounting posts 34 are evenly arranged on the lower housing 6, and two positioning posts 33 are arranged obliquely on the lower housing 6. The upper housing cover 5 is provided with mounting holes 36 corresponding to the mounting posts 34, and positioning holes 35 corresponding to the positioning posts 33 are provided on the upper housing cover 5. Screws pass through the mounting holes 36 and are securely connected to the mounting posts 34, thereby securing the upper housing cover 5 to the lower housing 6. The positioning posts 33 are embedded in the positioning holes 35, and the obliquely arranged positioning posts 33 can play a foolproof role, avoiding incorrect installation direction of the upper housing cover 5 and effectively improving installation efficiency.
[0050] Furthermore, when the gear clutch mechanism of this embodiment is applied to smart door locks or other locks, the output gear 2 meshes with the bolt mechanism (not shown), and the output gear 2 is driven in both directions by the reduction motor through the planetary gear swing arm mechanism 3, thereby realizing the bolt engaging and disengaging, and realizing the locking and unlocking action of the smart door lock. The bolt transmission structure of the smart door lock is simpler, the manufacturing cost is lower, and it has a better market prospect.
[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
