[0002] An electronic lock is an electromechanical device that uses electrical signals to control its locking state, thereby fixing equipment or structures and preventing theft. It is commonly used in smart door locks, parcel lockers, and vehicle storage compartments. When used in personal mobility scooters such as scooters, electronic locks are used to lock the foot pedals and frame to protect components such as the battery. However, they have drawbacks such as being prone to mis-locking due to vibrations from the scooter's movement, and the interior being susceptible to mud and sand buildup, making them impossible to unlock. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this utility model propose an electronically controlled lock, which has the advantages of low probability of mis-locking when subjected to vibration and high locking reliability.

[0005] An embodiment of this utility model also proposes a mobility scooter.

[0006] The electric lock of this utility model embodiment includes a housing, a bolt, a first elastic element, and a driving device. The housing has a receiving cavity, and the housing wall has two lock holes communicating with the receiving cavity. There are two bolts corresponding to the lock holes. The bolts are movably connected to the housing between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the locked position, a portion of the bolt extends out of the housing from the corresponding lock hole. The two bolts move in opposite or intersecting directions when moving from the locked position to the unlocked position. The first elastic element connects the bolts and the housing, and the first elastic element presses the bolts towards the locked position. The driving device is installed in the receiving cavity and is tractively connected to the two bolts to drive the two bolts to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in an electronically controlled lock, the latch is movably connected to the housing. A first elastic element connects the latch and the housing. Both latches are held in the locked position under the pressure of the first elastic element to ensure reliable locking between the latches and the U-shaped buckles on the cover plate. A drive device is connected to the two latches and can drive them from the locked position to the unlocked position to unlock the cover plate. Locking is achieved by the two latches engaging with two U-shaped buckles on the cover plate. The two latches move in opposite or intersecting directions toward the unlocked position. At this time, the inertial forces required for the two latches to overcome the elasticity of the first elastic element and move to the unlocked position are opposite or intersecting. Therefore, even under any drop or vibration conditions, at least one latch remains in the locked position, reducing the chance of mis-locking and increasing the reliability of the lock's locking of the cover plate.

[0008] In some embodiments, the electronically controlled lock further includes a seal, which, in the locked position, is sandwiched between the housing and the bolt to seal the gap between the bolt and the corresponding lock hole.

[0014] In some embodiments, the threaded component includes a bolt that is threaded into the threaded hole, and a nut is threaded onto the bolt, which is connected to the locking tongue via the nut.

[0015] In some embodiments, the drive device includes a motor, a worm gear, and a rotating rod. The worm gear is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the motor. The rotating rod and the locking tongue correspond to each other. One end of the rotating rod is pivotally connected to the housing, and the other end of the rotating rod is drivenly connected to the worm gear. The rotating rod is drivenly connected to the corresponding locking tongue to drive the corresponding locking tongue to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0016] In some embodiments, the electronic lock further includes a first limit switch disposed within the receiving cavity, the first limit switch engaging with the rotating rod when the bolt is in the unlocked position.

[0017] In some embodiments, the shell wall of the housing is further provided with a first guide hole communicating with the receiving cavity, and the electronic lock further includes a push rod and a second elastic member.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 This invention describes an electronically controlled lock according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] The electric lock of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a latch 2, a first elastic element 3, and a driving device. The housing 1 has a receiving cavity, and the housing wall of the housing 1 has two lock holes communicating with the receiving cavity. There are two latches 2, corresponding to the lock holes. The latches 2 are movably connected to the housing 1 between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the locked position, a portion of the latch 2 extends out of the housing 1 through the corresponding lock hole. The two latches 2 move in opposite or intersecting directions from the locked position to the unlocked position. The first elastic element 3 connects the latches 2 and the housing 1, and presses the latches 2 towards the locked position. The driving device is installed in the receiving cavity and is drively connected to the two latches 2, used to drive the two latches 2 from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the electric lock, the latch 2 is movably connected to the housing 1. A first elastic element 3 connects the latch 2 and the housing 1. The two latches 2 are held in the locked position under the pressure of the first elastic element 3 to ensure reliable locking between the latches 2 and the U-shaped buckles on the cover plate. A driving device is connected to the two latches 2 and can drive them to move from the locked position to the unlocked position to unlock the cover plate. Locking is achieved by the two latches 2 engaging with two U-shaped buckles on the cover plate. The directions of movement of the two latches 2 toward the unlocked position are opposite or intersecting. At this time, the directions of the inertial forces required for the two latches 2 to overcome the elasticity of the first elastic element 3 and move to the unlocked position are opposite or intersecting. Therefore, when the electric lock is subjected to any drop or vibration, at least one latch 2 remains in the locked position, reducing the probability of mis-locking and increasing the reliability of the electric lock's locking of the cover plate.

[0032] It should be noted that the cover plate is a component used for locking by the electronic lock. When the electronic control board is used on a scooter, the aforementioned cover plate is the foot pedal of the scooter.

[0033] In some embodiments, the electronic lock further includes a seal 4, which, in the locked position, is sandwiched between the housing 1 and the latch 2 to seal the gap between the latch 2 and the corresponding lock hole.

[0034] Therefore, when the electric lock locks the cover plate, the sealing element 4 blocks the gap between the outer surface of the lock tongue 2 and the inner circumferential surface of the lock hole, effectively preventing external dust from entering the receiving cavity through the gap and interfering with the drive device's drive of the lock tongue 2, thus making the automatic unlocking of the electric lock more reliable.

[0035] For example, the seal 4 is a rubber or silicone part, and the seal 4 corresponds one-to-one with the locking tongue 2. The seal 4 is fixedly connected to the corresponding locking tongue 2 to ensure that when the locking tongue 2 is frequently unlocked and locked, the seal 4 can always reliably seal the above-mentioned gap when the locking tongue 2 is in the locked position.

[0036] In some embodiments, the latch 2 includes a connected transmission part 21 and a tongue part 22. The transmission part 21 is located within the receiving cavity and is movably connected to the housing 1. The tongue part 22 is inserted into a corresponding lock hole, and a portion of the tongue part 22 extends out of the housing 1 in the locked position. In the locked position, the seal 4 is sleeved on the tongue part 22 and sandwiched between the inner wall of the receiving cavity and the transmission part 21.

[0037] In other words, the seal 4 is used to eliminate the gap between the transmission part 21 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity. Thus, after external dust enters the gap between the outer wall of the tongue 22 and the inner circumferential surface of the lock hole, it can no longer enter the receiving cavity through the gap between the transmission part 21 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity, ensuring the reliability of the electric lock's unlocking. At this time, the seal 4 is located inside the receiving cavity, and its position is not easily changed relative to the transmission part 21. When the lock tongue 2 is in the locked position, its sealing reliability for the aforementioned gap is high, and its sealing life is long.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing element 4 and the tongue 22 are both located on the same side of the transmission part 21. The sealing element 4 is a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the tongue 22 and bonded to the outer surface of the transmission part 21. Under the pressure of the first elastic element 3, it is pressed against the inner wall of the receiving cavity and surrounds the corresponding lock hole.

[0039] In some embodiments, the cavity is provided with two pivots 5, which correspond one-to-one with the locking tongue 2. The locking tongue 2 is pivotally connected to the housing 1 through the corresponding pivot 5, and the two locking tongues 2 rotate in opposite directions when moving from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0040] Therefore, under the condition of falling or vibration, the two locking tongues 2 have opposite directions of inertial force required to move to the unlock position, thus further eliminating the possibility of mis-locking by the electric control lock. The electric control lock has higher locking reliability for the cover plate and can be used for more complex working conditions.

[0041] For example, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, two lock holes are respectively located on two opposite side walls of the housing 1 along its length, and two locking tongues 2 are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner. One end of the transmission part 21 of the locking tongue 2 is pivotally connected to the corresponding pivot 5, and the other end is connected to the tongue part 22. At this time, when the engagement gap between the locking tongue 2 and the U-shaped buckle of the cover plate remains unchanged, due to the arrangement of the two locking tongues 2 on both sides, compared with the transmission design of the center single locking tongue 2 in related technologies, the two locking tongues 2 are closer to the side of the cover plate, so the gap that any side of the cover plate can be pried open is smaller, and the risk of the scooter being pried open is lower.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the first elastic element 3 includes two torsion springs, the torsion springs, the pivot 5 and the locking tongue 2 correspond to each other, the torsion springs are sleeved on the corresponding pivot 5 and connected to the housing 1 and the corresponding locking tongue 2.

[0043] That is, the two locking tongues 2 are kept in the locked position under the pressure of different torsion springs. The torsion springs have high reliability in resetting the corresponding locking tongues 2 and occupy little space in the receiving cavity. The structure of the electric lock is compact and the volume can be designed to be smaller.

[0044] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is further provided with a threaded hole on its shell wall, and the electric lock further includes a threaded component that is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole. A portion of the threaded component is located in the receiving cavity and is connected to the locking tongue 2 in a driving manner. The threaded component is used to drive the locking tongue 2 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0045] When the electric lock loses power or the drive unit malfunctions, the threaded component can be rotated to move the latch 2 from the locked position to the unlocked position, thus unlocking the electric lock and avoiding destructive disassembly of the electric lock or cover plate. Furthermore, the tight fit between the threaded component and the threaded hole prevents dust from easily entering the receiving cavity through gaps, further ensuring the reliability of the electric lock's automatic unlocking.

[0046] For example, the latch 2 is provided with a limiting groove, and a portion of the threaded part located in the receiving cavity is locked in the limiting groove. The axial direction of the threaded part is orthogonal to the axial direction of the pivot 5. Moving the threaded part along its axial direction can pull the latch 2 to rotate relative to the corresponding pivot 5, thereby realizing the unlocking operation.

[0047] In some embodiments, the threaded component includes a bolt 6, which is threaded into a threaded hole, and a nut 7 is threaded onto the bolt 6. The bolt 6 is connected to the locking tongue 2 via the nut 7.

[0048] Therefore, simply screw the head of bolt 6 into the receiving cavity through the threaded hole, and then the nut 7 engages with the threaded head of bolt 6 to complete the assembly of bolt 6 on housing 1. The manual unlocking structure of the electric lock is simple and the assembly efficiency is high.

[0049] For example, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, bolt 6 is an internal hex bolt 6, and two bolts 6 are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner. The two bolts 6 drive the corresponding locking tongue 2 to move towards the unlocked position through the corresponding nuts 7. When the head of the bolt 6 abuts against the outer surface of the housing 1, the nut 7 on it will not interfere with the movement of the locking tongue 2 between the unlocked and locked positions.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drive device includes a motor 8, a worm gear 9, and a rotating rod 10. The worm gear 9 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 8. The rotating rod 10 and the locking tongue 2 correspond to each other. One end of the rotating rod 10 is pivotally connected to the housing 1, and the other end of the rotating rod 10 is drivenly connected to the worm gear 9. The rotating rod 10 is drivenly connected to the corresponding locking tongue 2, and is used to drive the corresponding locking tongue 2 from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0051] One end of the rotating rod 10 engages with the tooth groove of the worm gear 9. The motor 8 drives the worm gear 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod 10 to rotate relative to the housing 1. This, in turn, causes the locking tongue 2 to rotate toward the unlocking position, thus achieving automatic unlocking of the electric lock. In this design, only one motor 8 drives two rotating rods 10 through one worm gear 9 to achieve synchronous unlocking of the two locking tongues 2, resulting in a simpler and lower-cost electric lock structure.

[0052] For example, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the axial direction of the worm 9 is orthogonal to the axial direction of the pivot 5. One end of the worm 9 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 8, and the other end of the worm 9 is pivotally connected to the housing 1. The end of the rotating rod 10 opposite to the worm 9 is pivotally connected to the housing 1 by being sleeved on the pivot 5.

[0053] In some embodiments, the electronic lock further includes a first limit switch 11, which is disposed in the receiving cavity and cooperates with the rotating rod 10 when the lock tongue 2 is in the unlocked position.

[0054] That is, when the lever 10 drives the locking tongue 2 to move to the unlock position, the first limit switch 11 is triggered, thereby controlling the motor 8 to stop rotating, effectively preventing the motor 8 from continuing to rotate and causing damage to the motor 8 or other components.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the latch 2 is in the unlocked position, one of the levers 10 triggers the first limit switch 11.

[0056] It should be noted that the first limit switch 11 and the motor 8 are electrically connected to the external controller and power supply via a wiring harness. The trigger signal of the first limit switch 11 is directly transmitted to the outside, and there is no circuit board inside the housing 1, which simplifies the control logic inside the electric lock. Therefore, it can directly adapt to different communication requirements of the whole system without involving software or hardware modifications.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the shell wall of the housing 1 is also provided with a first guide hole communicating with the receiving cavity. The electric lock also includes a push rod 12 and a second elastic member 13. The push rod 12 is slidably fitted in the first guide hole. The push rod 12 has a push-out position that protrudes partially outside the housing 1 and a retracted position located inside the receiving cavity. The second elastic member 13 connects the push rod 12 and the housing 1. The second elastic member 13 presses the push rod 12 toward the push-out position.

[0058] When the electric lock is locked to the cover plate, the cover plate presses the push rod 12 to the retracted position. When the latch 2 moves to the unlocked position to disengage from the U-shaped buckle on the cover plate, the push rod 12 returns to the ejected position under the pressure of the second elastic element 13, so as to push the cover plate out a certain distance, which facilitates the disassembly of the cover plate.

[0059] For example, the housing 1 is provided with a guide plate 101, and the guide plate 101 has a second guide hole. The second guide hole is coaxial with the first guide hole. The push rod 12 is slidably fitted in the second guide hole. The outer peripheral surface of the push rod 12 is provided with a limiting flange 121, which is located between the first guide hole and the second guide hole. The second elastic element 13 includes a spring, which is sleeved on the push rod 12 and clamped between the limiting flange 121 and the guide plate 101. As a result, the spring has high reliability in resetting the push rod 12, and the spring occupies little space in the receiving cavity.

[0060] In some embodiments, the electronic lock further includes a second limit switch 14, which is disposed in the receiving cavity and cooperates with the push rod 12 in the retracted position.

[0061] Therefore, when the latch 2 is in the locked position and engages with the U-shaped buckle on the cover, the top rod 12 is in the retracted position and triggers the second limit switch 14. The second limit switch 14 transmits a signal to the outside and reminds the electric lock and the cover to be locked in place by means of sound or light, effectively avoiding the risk of battery theft caused by the electric lock not being locked in place.
