AI Technical Summary
Existing electric vehicle electronic locks are difficult to guarantee production and transmission stability due to the influence of machining accuracy and dimensional chain errors. Furthermore, they have insufficient output force in extremely cold or freezing environments, and their transmission methods are limited, failing to meet diverse customer needs.
The shell design features a semi-enclosed structure with embedded pole plates and gear sets. Through a multi-stage gear transmission structure consisting of a worm gear, a transition wheel, and an output transition wheel, combined with a signal feedback mechanism using a sliding spring and a feedback spring, the microswitch is eliminated, achieving multi-stage gear transmission and flexible signal feedback.
The output force of the electronic lock has been increased, ensuring normal operation in harsh environments, adapting to different customers' conductivity methods and signal feedback requirements, and reducing the cost of structural adjustments and new mold openings.

Abstract
Claims
1. An electronic lock with a conducting mechanism for an electric vehicle, characterized by, Includes a housing (1), one side of which is configured as a semi-enclosed accommodating space, the opening end of which is closed with a top cover (9) to make the accommodating space a completely sealed space, and a motor (14) for providing power is embedded in the accommodating space. The electrode plate (8) is disposed on the inner wall of the accommodating space, and a gear set (7) for transmitting power is installed on it. The gear set (7) is meshed with the turbine (15) connected to the output end of the motor (14). The locking rod base (10) is slidably disposed in the accommodating space. It is provided with a toothed part (1001) that meshes with the gear set (7) to drive the locking rod base (10) to move linearly. The locking rod base (10) is connected to the locking rod (4). The locking rod (4) penetrates the inner wall of the housing (1) and extends to the outside. The locking rod base (10) is provided with a sliding spring (3). When the locking rod base (10) moves, it drives the sliding spring (3) to contact and conduct or disconnect with the feedback spring (17) provided on the inner wall of the accommodating space.
2. The electronic lock with a conducting mechanism for an electric vehicle according to claim 1, wherein: An unlocking pull rope assembly (13) is provided on the outside of the housing (1). The unlocking pull rope assembly (13) is connected to one end of the unlocking pull rod (12) located in the accommodating space. The other end of the unlocking pull rod (12) is connected to the unlocking slider (5), so that the unlocking slider (5) is moved by the unlocking pull rod (12). When the unlocking slider (5) moves, it drives the locking rod base (10) to move together, so that the locking rod (4) retracts into the housing (1) to unlock. A compression spring (6) is provided between the unlocking slider (5) and the electrode plate (8) for pushing the unlocking slider (5) to reset.
3. An electronic lock with a conducting mechanism for an electric vehicle as claimed in claim 2, wherein: The electrode plate (8) is provided with a positioning support plug (11) on the side facing the unlocking slider (5). The positioning support plug (11) is arranged parallel to the unlocking lever (12). The outer circumference of the positioning support plug (11) is adapted to the inner ring of the compression spring (6).
4. The electronic lock with a conducting mechanism for an electric vehicle according to claim 1, wherein: The accommodating space is provided with a guide shaft (2) that is parallel to the locking rod (4), and the guide shaft (2) passes through the locking rod base (10), so that the locking rod base (10) moves linearly along the axial direction of the guide shaft (2).
5. The electronic lock with a conducting mechanism for an electric vehicle as claimed in claim 1, wherein: The gear set (7) includes a worm (705), a first transition wheel (704), a second transition wheel (703), and an output transition wheel (702). The worm (705), the first transition wheel (704), the second transition wheel (703), and the output transition wheel (702) are sequentially meshed to achieve gear transmission. The worm (705), the first transition wheel (704), the second transition wheel (703), and the output transition wheel (702) are axially penetrated by a rivet shaft (701), and the rivet shaft (701) is vertically fixed to the pole plate (8).
