Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light-emitting components technology, and in particular to a light-emitting component for a smart lock. Background Technology

[0002] Smart door locks, as an important component of modern security and smart homes, have become widely used. Their user interface, especially the visibility of the password input area and the clarity of status prompts, directly affects user experience and security.

[0003] Currently, most smart locks on the market have limitations in their backlighting solutions. Most products use a uniform backlighting method, meaning the entire keypad area illuminates evenly when a user touches the panel. While this provides basic illumination in dim environments, the diffused light not only leads to higher power consumption and shorter battery life but can also cause visual interference due to non-critical areas lighting up simultaneously. More importantly, this method cannot provide clear, targeted feedback for each user input. Users cannot visually determine whether a key has been effectively triggered, potentially leading to repeated pressing or misjudgments, affecting the smoothness and accuracy of operation.

[0004] Furthermore, in terms of status feedback, traditional smart locks often use single or multiple LED lights of different colors to flash, or rely on a display screen to output text codes for prompts. LED flashing modes have a high learning curve for users, requiring them to memorize the specific meanings of different flashing frequencies or color combinations, making them unintuitive and prone to misunderstanding, especially in urgent or hurried situations. Meanwhile, pure text prompts suffer from significantly reduced readability in bright light, poor viewing angles, or when the user's vision is limited, resulting in the feedback information not being effectively received.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a smart lock human-machine interaction component that can provide accurate, low-power backlighting and display different working states with extremely intuitiveness, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a smart lock light-emitting component.

[0007] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: A smart lock light-emitting component includes a support plate, a limiting plate, a transparent plate, a connecting plate, a controller, a pressing plate, a light-emitting plate, a rubber sleeve, and a display screen. The connecting plate is embedded in the rear side of the support plate, and the controller is embedded in the connecting plate. The limiting plate is embedded in the front side wall of the support plate. The pressing plate is installed inside the support plate at a position corresponding to the limiting plate. Several buttons are evenly arranged on the pressing plate. A circular groove is opened on the limiting plate at a position corresponding to each button. A rubber sleeve is connected to each circular groove. The button passes through the circular groove and is embedded in the rubber sleeve. The light-emitting plate is installed inside the support plate at a position behind the pressing plate. The display screen is installed on the upper side of the support plate. The transparent plate is connected to the upper front side of the support plate at a position corresponding to the display screen. The light-emitting plate and the display screen are electrically connected to the controller through wires.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting plate and the support plate are connected by a snap-fit ​​detachable connection.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a light guide plate is provided between the light-emitting plate and the pressing plate, and the light guide plate is provided with micro-scattering dots in the button area.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a second transparent plate, a servo motor, a rotating plate, and indicator lights. The servo motor is installed on the lower side inside the support plate, and a square rotating plate is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. Indicator lights of different colors are installed on the front, left, right, and rear walls of the rotating plate. The second transparent plate is connected to the lower front side of the support plate at the position corresponding to the rotating plate. The servo motor and the indicator lights are both electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each indicator light on the rotating plate is embedded in an independent groove.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both transparent plate one and transparent plate two are made of tempered glass, and the inner surface of the glass is coated with an anti-glare coating.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The light-emitting plate can provide uniform dim lighting during operation, ensuring that all buttons are clearly visible in a dim environment. When a button is pressed, the corresponding area is further brightened, forming a clear local highlight feedback, which allows the user to intuitively confirm that the operation is effective. This graded light-emitting mechanism ensures visibility while significantly reducing the possibility of accidental touches through light signals, thereby improving the accuracy of password input.

[0014] 2. The display screen shows input prompts and number of digits in real time through a transparent panel, which is linked with the button illumination to provide users with clear operation guidance, reduce hesitation and errors in the input process, and improve the smoothness of interaction.

[0015] 3. The servo motor drives the rotating plate to rotate, so that different colored indicator lights accurately correspond to the second transparent plate, clearly distinguishing the lock status such as unlocking, abnormality, and low battery through color light, so that users can quickly perceive the lock status without having to read the text.

[0022] Example: A smart lock light-emitting component, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the system includes a support plate 1, a limiting plate 2, a transparent plate 3, a connecting plate 5, a controller 6, a pressing plate 7, a light-emitting plate 8, a rubber sleeve 9, and a display screen 10. The connecting plate 5 is embedded in the rear of the support plate 1, and the controller 6 is mounted on the connecting plate 5 with embedded screws. The limiting plate 2 is embedded in the front wall of the support plate 1. A pressing plate 7 is installed inside the support plate 1 at a position corresponding to the limiting plate 2. Several buttons are evenly arranged on the pressing plate 7. A circular groove is formed on the limiting plate 2 at a position corresponding to each button, and a rubber sleeve 9 is connected to each groove. The buttons pass through the grooves and are embedded in the rubber sleeves 9, allowing for direct pressing operation by the user. The rubber sleeves 9 improve the pressing feel and also provide a dustproof and waterproof seal. The limiting plate 2 and the support plate 1 are connected by a snap-fit ​​detachable connection, facilitating on-site installation and subsequent maintenance. If a button is damaged or needs cleaning, the limit plate 2 can be quickly removed for operation without replacing the entire component, reducing maintenance costs and time. Inside the support plate 1, a light-emitting plate 8 is installed behind the press plate 7. A light guide plate is provided between the light-emitting plate 8 and the press plate 7, which can convert the line light source or point light source emitted by the light-emitting plate 8 into a uniform surface light source. The light guide plate has micro-scattering dots corresponding to the button area, which can make the brightness of the corresponding button area more uniform and soft, eliminate hot spots, and improve the optical quality and aesthetics of the backlight. The display screen 10 is installed on the upper side of the support plate 1 with screws. A transparent plate 3 is connected to the upper front side of the support plate 1 at the position corresponding to the display screen 10. Users can view the information on the display screen 10 through the transparent plate 3. The light-emitting plate 8 and the display screen 10 are electrically connected to the controller 6 through wires.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a transparent plate 4, a servo motor 11, a rotating plate 12, and indicator lights 13. The servo motor 11 is bolted to the lower side of the support plate 1. A square rotating plate 12 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 11. Different colored indicator lights 13 are installed on the front, left, right, and rear walls of the rotating plate 12: green on the front (corresponding to successful unlocking), red on the left (corresponding to abnormal states, such as incorrect password or lock malfunction), yellow on the right (corresponding to low battery status), and blue on the rear (corresponding to activation pending or system standby status). A transparent plate 4 is connected to the lower front side of the support plate 1 at a position corresponding to the rotating plate 12. The light from indicator light 13 can be displayed through transparent plate 2 4. Servo motor 11 and indicator light 13 are both electrically connected to controller 6. Each indicator light 13 on rotating plate 12 is embedded in an independent groove. The groove structure can initially focus and guide the light emitted by indicator light 13, reduce crosstalk between different colors of light, ensure that the color light transmitted through transparent plate 2 4 is pure and eye-catching, and improve the accuracy of status indication. Transparent plate 1 3 and transparent plate 2 4 are both made of tempered glass, and the inner surface of the glass is coated with an anti-glare coating, which can avoid reflection on the glass surface under strong light and ensure that the information on display screen 10 and the light from indicator light 13 can be clearly observed.

[0024] The luminous component is installed in the smart lock. When the user begins to enter the password, the luminous panel 8 first emits a uniform dim light to illuminate all buttons for overall visibility. When a specific button is pressed, the controller 6 drives the luminous panel 8 to make the brightness of the corresponding area significantly higher than the background light, forming a precise two-level brightness feedback. This solution ensures overall button visibility in dim environments, while clearly indicating the current valid operation point through localized high brightness, greatly reducing the possibility of accidental touches. At the same time, the display screen 10 displays information such as "input prompts" and "current number of digits" in real time through the transparent panel 3, guiding the user. After the operation is completed, the input password signal is transmitted to the controller 6. The controller 6 verifies the password and drives the servo motor 11 and the indicator light 13 to work according to the result. If the password is correct, the controller 6 starts the servo motor 11 to drive the rotating plate 12 to rotate, so that the green indicator light 13 is aligned with the transparent plate 4, and green light shines through, indicating that the lock is successfully unlocked. If the password is incorrect or an abnormality occurs, the rotating plate 12 rotates to the position of the red indicator light 13 corresponding to the transparent plate 4, and red light indicates the abnormal status. When the battery is low, the yellow indicator light 13 shines yellow light. In the waiting to be activated or standby state, the blue indicator light 13 indicates the corresponding status.
