[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0024] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 - Figure 8 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an electronic lock with multiple installation methods, including: an outer main lock body 1 and an inner main lock body 2, a first installation component 13 and a second installation component 14; the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and the back of the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 are provided with corresponding installation holes 15, the first installation component 13 is installed between the installation holes 15, the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 are provided with first connecting grooves 16 on their sides, and the second installation component 14 is inserted into the first connecting grooves 16 to fix the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 in place.
[0025] For example, the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 are respectively installed in the door panel. The outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 can be fixed by using the first mounting component 13 or the second mounting component 14. The first mounting component 13 is aligned with the mounting holes 15 of the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2. The outer main lock body 1 is fixed by screws passing through the mounting holes 15 and threadedly connecting to the first mounting component 13. The other side is fixed by screws passing through the mounting holes 15 of the inner main lock body 2 and threadedly connecting to the other end of the first mounting component 13. This installation method is suitable for wooden doors. The thickness of the wooden door corresponds to the length of the first mounting component 13. The door can be fixed by using two first mounting components 13. Another method uses a second mounting component 14, which is inserted into the first connecting groove 16 to fix the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2. This method is suitable for doors without rotating holes, usually glass doors. The thickness of the glass door is selected according to the thickness of the second mounting component 14. The installation method is selected according to the user's needs and the type of door. Both the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 are interchangeable.
[0026] Furthermore, the first mounting component 13 includes a connecting rod 18 and a screw. The length of the connecting rod matches the thickness of the door. The screw is threaded to the end of the connecting rod 18. The connecting rod 18 is correspondingly set with the mounting hole 15. The screw is located inside the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2, passes through the mounting hole 15, and is fixed to the connecting rod 18. This is suitable for use on doors with drilled holes.
[0027] Furthermore, the second mounting component 14 includes two connecting metal frames 17, one at the top and one at the bottom. The connecting metal frames 17 are inserted into the first connecting slot 16 and fixed by screws. The connecting metal frames 17 are U-shaped and are used to press the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 onto the door.
[0028] Regarding the connecting metal frame 17 of the second mounting component 14, in order to solve the problem of how to install the connecting metal frame 17, if the screw holes at both ends are in the corresponding positions, the installation will be blocked and cannot be fixed. Therefore, two screw holes are provided on each side of the connecting metal frame 17, the screw holes on both sides are staggered, and a relief groove 20 is provided on one side. When installing the other side, the screwdriver can pass through the relief groove 20 to screw in the screws.
[0029] The door frame also includes an outer secondary lock body 3 and an inner secondary lock body 4. The connecting metal frame 17 is installed inside the outer secondary lock body 3 and the inner secondary lock body 4 for fixed connection, and the lock tongue will extend into the outer secondary lock body 3.
[0030] Furthermore, when using the second mounting component 14, because the glass surface is smooth, anti-slip sleeves are installed on the inner sides of the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2; or anti-slip sleeves are installed on the inner sides of the outer auxiliary lock body 3 and the inner auxiliary lock body 4, in order to improve the firmness and prevent slippage.
[0031] Example 2: Please see Figure 1 - Figure 8 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model.
[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a protective component 6, which is disposed on the surface of the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2. The protective component 6 includes a support plate 601 and a housing 602. There are multiple sets of support plates 601, which are respectively fixedly installed on the inner frame of the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2. The housing 602 is snapped onto the surface of the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2.
[0033] For example, the support plate 601 is made of high-strength metal material and is embedded inside the electronic lock to enhance the strength of the electronic lock. At the same time, the outer shell 602 can provide security protection for the surface of the electronic lock and prevent the control panel on the surface from being damaged.
[0034] For example, it also includes a deceleration assembly 7, which is disposed inside the outer main lock body 1. The deceleration assembly 7 includes: a deceleration motor 701, a first spur gear 702, a second spur gear 703, a swing rod 704, and a latch 705. The deceleration motor 701 is fixedly installed inside the outer main lock body 1. The first spur gear 702 is fitted and installed at the output end of the deceleration motor 701. The second spur gear 703 is rotatably installed inside the outer main lock body 1 and meshes with the first spur gear 702. The swing rod 704 is fixedly installed on the second spur gear 703 and is driven to rotate by the second spur gear 703. The latch 705 is movably installed inside the outer main lock body 1 via a guide rail. A second connecting groove 9 is provided on the opposite side of the outer main lock body 1 and the outer auxiliary lock body 3. The second connecting groove 9 is used for the movement of the latch 705. At the same time, the second connecting groove 9 corresponds completely to the guide insertion hole 501. A limit groove 11 is provided on the surface of the latch 705. A limit post 12 is fixedly provided inside the outer main lock body 1.
[0035] Furthermore, when using the electronic lock, after the password is correct, the reduction motor 701 works, driving the first spur gear 702 to rotate. The first spur gear 702 drives the second spur gear 703 to rotate, and then the second spur gear 703 drives the swing rod 704 to rotate, pushing the bolt 705 to slide. When locking the door, the bolt 705 will extend outward and get stuck in the outer auxiliary lock body 3. When opening the door, the reduction motor 701 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby driving the bolt 705 to move in the opposite direction, causing the outer main lock body 1 and the outer auxiliary lock body 3 to separate.
[0036] For example, it also includes a manual unlocking component 8, which is fixed to the side of the outer main lock body 1. The manual unlocking component 8 includes: a lock cylinder 801, a first bevel gear 802 and a second bevel gear 803. The lock cylinder 801 is installed on one side of the outer main lock body 1. The first bevel gear 802 is fixed to one end of the lock cylinder 801 located inside the outer main lock body 1. The second bevel gear 803 is rotatably disposed inside the outer main lock body 1. The second bevel gear 803 is coaxially arranged with the second spur gear 703.
[0037] Furthermore, in the event of a power outage, it can be used manually. Simply turn the key to rotate the lock cylinder 801, which will drive the first bevel gear 802 and the second bevel gear 803 to rotate. Since the second bevel gear 803 is coaxially set with the second spur gear 703, it can replace the geared motor 701 to drive the lock tongue 705 to move.
[0038] Furthermore, a mounting frame 5 is provided on one side of the outer main lock body 1, which is fixedly installed on the side of the door panel by screws. A guide hole 501 is provided on the mounting frame 5, through which the lock tongue 705 passes.
[0039] Furthermore, the outer main lock body 1 is equipped with multiple cameras for facial recognition, and the surface is equipped with three unlocking methods: fingerprint unlocking and digital unlocking, which greatly improves the convenience and security of unlocking. The inner main lock body 2 is equipped with a battery to power the entire electronic lock.
[0040] When in use, a limiting groove 11 is provided on the surface of the latch 705, and a limiting post 12 is fixedly provided inside the outer main lock body 1. The bottom side of the latch 705 is triangular, which can prevent the latch 705 from retracting too much when the door is opened, thus preventing the door from being locked later.
[0041] Working principle: The first mounting component 13 is aligned with the mounting holes 15 of the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2. It is fixed by screws passing through the mounting holes 15 of the outer main lock body 1 and threadedly connected to the first mounting component 13. On the other side, screws pass through the mounting holes 15 of the inner main lock body 2 and threadedly connected to the other end of the first mounting component 13. This method is suitable for wooden doors, where the thickness of the wooden door corresponds to the length of the first mounting component 13. Two first mounting components 13 are sufficient for fixation. Alternatively, a second mounting component 14 is used. The second mounting component 14 is inserted into the first connecting groove 16 to fix the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2. This method is suitable for doors without rotating holes, typically glass doors. The thickness of the glass door is selected based on the thickness of the second mounting component 14. The choice of mounting method depends on the user's needs and the type of door. Both the outer main lock body 1 and the inner main lock body 2 are interchangeable. The main lock body 1 is equipped with multiple cameras for facial recognition, and features fingerprint, digital, and other unlocking methods on its surface. After the password is correct, the geared motor 701 activates, driving spur gear 1 702 to rotate. Spur gear 1 702 then drives spur gear 2 703 to rotate, which in turn drives the swing arm 704 to rotate, pushing the bolt 705 to slide. When locking the door, the bolt 705 extends outward and engages in the secondary lock body 3. When opening the door, the geared motor 701 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the bolt 705 to move in the opposite direction, thus separating the main lock body 1 from the secondary lock body 3. In the event of a power outage, the lock can be used manually by turning the lock cylinder 801 with a key, which rotates bevel gear 1 802 and bevel gear 2 803. Since bevel gear 2 803 is coaxial with spur gear 2 703, it can replace the geared motor 701 in pushing the bolt 705.
