Description

Clutch transmission mechanism of smart door lock Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of door lock control technology, and more specifically to the clutch of a smart door lock. Background Technology

[0002] Door handles are an important component of door locks. By controlling the door handle to rotate the door lock's transmission components, the door can be opened. In current technology, the handle of an electronic door lock is simply a component that transmits the force of the user to twist and unlock. Generally, these handles are solid. Even if the handle is hollow, the internal space is very limited. Therefore, the complex clutch control mechanism and electronic components of electronic door locks are usually designed into the lock body rather than in the handle. Because the lock body has ample space to accommodate all the detection and automated control mechanisms, this type of lock body structure is generally large, expensive, and inconvenient to install and maintain.

[0003] We know that the clutch control mechanisms of electronic door locks on the market currently fall into two categories. One type has the clutch on the electronic lock panel, controlling the disengagement and engagement of the handle and the square bar. When the clutch is engaged, the square bar transmits rotation from the handle to the lock body, enabling the door to open. The advantage of this type of lock is that the lock body is a purely mechanical component, resulting in higher reliability and lower cost. However, it also presents significant compatibility issues. Currently, there are many types of mechanical lock bodies on the market, and there is no standardized size or specification for the square bar position. More problematic is that some mechanical lock bodies can only open one latch at the external square bar connection hole, failing to meet the electronic lock's requirement to open all latches. Therefore, when installing this type of electronic lock, the original lock body on the door needs to be removed and replaced with a compatible mechanical lock body to ensure the electronic lock functions properly. Another type integrates the clutch into the lock body. The door handle connects to a square rod hole on the lock body inside the door via a square rod. After authentication, the electronic module controls the clutch inside the lock body to connect and close the square rod hole with the lock body's actuator. This allows the square rod to convert the force on the handle into force to control the bolt, thus opening the door. This type of electronic lock with the clutch inside the lock body requires replacing the mechanical lock body on the door during installation, similar to the first type of electronic lock, involving lock body disassembly. Because the new lock body's opening on the door may differ from the original lock body's, a new opening needs to be drilled on the door. Even worse, the position and size of the bolt insertion hole on the door frame also need to be adjusted according to the different lock bodies. This installation method damages the original structure of the door and door frame, a practice known in the industry as "destructive" installation. It directly damages the user's original door and door frame, and installer errors can lead to the replacement of the door and door frame, causing significant inconvenience to the user. What's more troublesome is that since different electronic lock manufacturers use different lock bodies, the door and door frame are likely to be damaged again when users replace their electronic locks with those from other manufacturers.

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN106223731A, entitled "A Direct Drive Transmission Device for a Door Lock Motor," discloses a direct drive transmission device for a door lock motor, comprising a lock cylinder, a lever, an unlocking knob, drive bevel gears, a geared motor, motor bevel gears, a photoelectric switch, a grating encoder disk, an inner door panel, a base plate, a buffer pad, and a locking cover. The drive bevel gears mesh with the motor bevel gears, and the geared motor connects to the motor bevel gears via its power output end. Specifically, the motor bevel gears and the drive bevel gears are a pair of meshing bevel gears. The geared motor transmits power torque to the motor bevel gears through its power output end. The meshing of the motor bevel gears with the drive bevel gears transmits power to the lever through the buffer pad inside the drive bevel gears. The lever rotates, thereby driving the lock cylinder and the unlocking knob to rotate, achieving automatic locking or unlocking. The unlocking knob is located on the inner door panel, which is installed during installation. Installed on the inside of the door; the drive bevel gear, reduction motor, motor bevel gear, photoelectric switch, grating encoder disk, buffer pad, and locking cover are set on the base plate, and the buffer pad is tightly engaged with the drive bevel gear; the grating encoder disk is set between the end face of the reduction motor and the motor bevel gear, and the notch of the photoelectric switch cooperates with the grating encoder disk; when the reduction motor moves, its power output end drives the grating encoder disk to rotate, and the photoelectric switch is used to detect the rotation signal of the grating encoder disk; the buffer pad is set inside the drive bevel gear, and the protruding part of the drive bevel gear passes through the round hole of the base plate and is fixedly connected to the locking cover; the lever passes through the inner panel of the door, and sequentially passes through the drive bevel gear, the base plate, the lock cylinder, the buffer pad, and the locking cover. Specifically, the lever passes through the center of the drive bevel gear, with one end connected to the unlocking knob and the other end connected to the lock cylinder. However, this solution has the following disadvantages: 1. The motor direct drive transmission device is installed in the lock body, and the lock body must be disassembled during installation and maintenance, which is costly. 2. The handle of this patent is a purely torque-driven component.

[0005] In summary, on the one hand, how to achieve non-destructive installation will be a crucial issue for the aftermarket electronic lock market. On the other hand, in order to reduce the cost and size of electronic door locks while still enabling electronic unlocking, technicians are exploring whether all electronic control functions of the door lock can be implemented within the rear handle, and the clutch drive mechanism located within the rear handle is a key component.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3. The clutch transmission device of the smart door lock includes: housing 1, gearbox 2, elastic clutch 3, spindle 4 and handle 5, wherein the center lines of the gearbox 2, elastic clutch 3, spindle 4 and handle 5 coincide.

[0039] The housing 1 includes a front cover 11 and a rear cover 12. The front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are fastened together to form a receiving cavity of the housing 1. A front through hole 111 and a rear through hole 121 are respectively provided in the middle of the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12, and the central axes of the front through hole 111 and the rear through hole 121 coincide.

[0040] The spindle 4 is inserted into the front through hole 111 of the front end cover 11 of the housing 1. The spindle 4 is used to connect the lock cylinder of the smart door lock. The gearbox 2 is inserted into the rear through hole 121 of the rear end cover 12 of the housing 1. The gearbox 2 can transmit the torque generated by the motor 21 to the spindle 4. The spindle 4 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise due to the torque of the motor 21, driving the lock cylinder of the smart door lock to open or close the door.

[0041] The elastic clutch 3 is located between the front cover 11 of the housing 1 and the front end of the gearbox 2. The elastic clutch 3 adopts an elastic wave ring 31, which can separate the spindle 4 from the transmission component 22 on the gearbox 2.

[0042] The handle 5 is located at the rear end of the gearbox 2 and can engage the transmission component 22 of the gearbox 2 and the spindle 4. Specifically, when the handle 5 is turned, the transmission component 22 on the gearbox 2 is driven to rotate forward along the axial direction of the clutch transmission device, so that the handle 5, the gearbox 2 and the transmission component 22 rotate synchronously with the spindle 4, thereby achieving manual unlocking.

[0043] A torsion spring 6 is provided between the outer side of the rear end cover 12 of the housing 1 and the gearbox 2. The gearbox 2 can be rotated and reset in the rear through hole 121 of the rear end cover 12 of the housing 1. A bushing 7 is provided between the front through hole 111 of the front end cover 11 of the housing 1 and the spindle 4, so that the spindle 4 can rotate relative to the housing 1.

[0044] Figures 4 and 5 show schematic diagrams of the gearbox 2, which includes a motor 21, a transmission component 22, a rotating component 23, a bearing 24, and a gear set 25. The motor 21 is electrically connected to the control board of the smart lock, which precisely controls the rotational stroke of the motor 21's output shaft. The output shaft of the motor 21 is connected to the input end of the gear set 25, and the output end of the gear set 25 is connected to the rotating component 23. The gear set 25 mainly consists of a housing 251 and gears 252. When the motor 21 is energized, it rotates, and after being transmitted through the gear set 2, torque is output through the rotating component 23. A transmission component 22 is also installed at the front end of the gear set 25. The transmission component 22 has a ring-shaped structure, and a bearing 24 is provided between the inner ring of the transmission component 22 and the rotating component 23, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the transmission component 22 and the rotating component 23 and ensuring that the assembly of the transmission component 22 and the rotating component 23 is interference-free.

[0045] As shown in Figure 6, on the rotating component 23 of the gearbox 2, an annular ring 231 extends outward along the axis of the rotating component 23. The inner ring of the annular ring 231 has two radially inwardly extending internal teeth 232, which are distributed circumferentially. A central shaft 233 is provided at the center of the rotating component 23. On the other side of the annular ring 231 of the rotating component 23, multiple planetary shafts 234 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the central shaft 233. The planetary shafts 234 are used to connect the gear set 25.

[0046] As shown in Figures 5 and 7, an annular drive grinding disc 221 is provided on the outer side of the transmission component 22 of the gearbox 2, extending outward between the inner and outer rings of the transmission component 22. The inner ring of the drive grinding disc 221 is close to the inner ring of the transmission component 22, and a force-bearing part 222 is provided between the outer ring of the drive grinding disc 221 and the outer ring of the transmission component 22. The force-bearing part 222 is adapted to the elastic wave ring 31. At the edge of the inner side of the transmission component 22 of the gearbox 2, a locking block 223 is provided extending outward in the circumferential direction. The locking block 223 is engaged with the slot 253 on the housing 251 of the gear set 25. Multiple countersunk screw holes 224 are also provided on the force-bearing part 222. Countersunk screws are installed in the countersunk screw holes 224 to fix the transmission component 22 to the front end of the housing 251 of the gear set 25.

[0047] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the mandrel 4 is located in the front through hole 111 of the front end cover 11 of the housing 1. A bushing 7 is provided between the mandrel 4 and the hole wall of the front through hole 111. The mandrel 4 includes: an output shaft section 41, an input shaft section 42, and a driven grinding disc 43. The output shaft section 41 is located on the outside of the front end cover 11 of the housing 1, and its distal end has a square hole 411 along the axis of the mandrel. The square hole 411 is used to insert a square rod. The input shaft section 42 is located on the outside of the front end cover 11 of the housing 1. On the inner side, for receiving the torque output by the gearbox 2, two external teeth 421 are provided radially outward on the input shaft section 42, spaced apart circumferentially. A driven grinding disc 43 is located at the connection between the output shaft section 41 and the input shaft section 42, used to mesh the transmission component 23 and the spindle 4 of the gearbox 2. The outer diameter of the driven grinding disc 43 is larger than both the outer diameter of the input shaft section 42 and the outer diameter of the output shaft section 41. The outer diameter of the driven grinding disc 43 of the spindle 4 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the driving grinding disc 221 of the transmission component 22, and the inner diameter of the driven grinding disc 43 of the spindle 4 is also substantially the same as the inner diameter of the driving grinding disc 221 of the transmission component 22, facilitating complete meshing of the driving grinding disc 221 and the driven grinding disc 43.

[0048] As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment, the elastic clutch 3 is an elastic wave ring 31. The outer diameter of the elastic wave ring 31 is basically the same as the outer diameter of the transmission component 22. The inner diameter of the elastic wave ring 31 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the active grinding disc 221. The active grinding disc 221 is located inside the inner circle of the elastic wave ring 31. The elastic wave ring 31, the active grinding disc 221 of the transmission component 22 of the gearbox 2, and the driven grinding disc 43 of the spindle 4 constitute the manual clutch mechanism of the clutch transmission device of the smart door lock, realizing the manual unlocking of the smart door lock. Specifically, when the manual drive handle 5 is rotated clockwise, the gearbox 2 is subjected to the force of the handle 5. The active grinding disc 221 of the transmission component 22 on the gearbox 2 rotates forward along the axis towards the driven grinding disc 43 of the spindle 4. The elastic wave ring 31 is subjected to the force of the force-bearing part 222 on the transmission component 22 of the gearbox 2, and undergoes compression deformation along its central axis. When the active grinding disc 221 of the transmission component 22 on the gearbox 2 moves forward and is fully engaged with the driven grinding disc 43 of the spindle 4, the gearbox 2 stops moving forward and continues to rotate in the original clockwise direction, thereby driving the spindle 4 to rotate and driving the lock cylinder of the smart door lock to unlock. When the handle 5 is released, due to the reset of the torsion spring 6, the handle 5 rotates counterclockwise relative to the gearbox 2. At the same time, the elastic wave ring 31 is elastically reset, separating the active grinding disc 221 of the transmission component 22 on the gearbox 2 from the driven grinding disc 43 of the spindle 4, completing the manual unlocking.

[0049] As shown in Figures 5 and 11, in this embodiment, the gearbox 2 mainly consists of a motor 21, a transmission component 22, a rotating component 23, a bearing 24, and a gear set 25. The motor 21 is electrically connected to the control board of the smart lock. The output shaft of the motor 21 is connected to the input end of the gear set 25, and the output end of the gear set 25 is connected to the rotating component 23. The control board of the smart lock can precisely control the rotation stroke of the rotating component 23 of the motor 21. The specific structural form of the gearbox 2 can be implemented using existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here. The gearbox 2 is installed in the rear through hole 121 of the rear end cover 12 of the housing 1. The gearbox 2 can transmit the positive and negative torque generated by the motor 21 to the spindle 4, thereby realizing the unlocking or locking of the smart lock cylinder.

[0050] The external teeth 421 of the input shaft section 42 of the spindle 4 are inserted into the annular ring 231 of the rotating part 23 on the gearbox 2 to form a pivot mechanism. The motor 21 drives the rotating part 23 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise through the gear set 25. The internal teeth 232 of the annular ring 231 of the rotating part 23 can drive the external teeth 421 of the input shaft section 42 of the spindle 4 to rotate, thereby driving the lock cylinder of the smart door lock to unlock or lock. The preset rotation stroke of the rotating part 23 of the gearbox 2 is greater than the unlocking rotation stroke of the spindle 4.

[0051] Figures 12a-12e are schematic diagrams of the working state of the pivot mechanism composed of the mandrel 4 and the rotating member 23 in this embodiment. The two external teeth 421 of the mandrel 4 are inserted into the annular ring 231 of the rotating member 23 on the gearbox 2 to form a pivot mechanism. The two external teeth 421 of the mandrel 4 and the two internal teeth 232 of the rotating member 23 are located in the same plane, thereby forming a mating pair. Among the two internal teeth 232 of the rotating member 23, the two side walls of one internal tooth 232 are A1 and A2, and the two side walls of the other internal tooth 232 are A3 and A4, respectively. Among the two external teeth 421 of the mandrel 4, the two side walls of one external tooth 421 are B1 and B2, respectively, and the two side walls of the other external tooth 421 are B3 and B4, respectively. Figure 12a shows the locked working position, where the sidewalls of the two internal teeth 232 are not in contact with the sidewalls of the two external teeth 421. As shown in Figure 12b, as the gearbox 2 drives the internal teeth 232 of the rotating component 23 to rotate clockwise, after the rotating component 23 has been idle for a certain stroke, the sidewalls A1 and A4 of the internal teeth 232 of the rotating component 23 abut against the sidewalls B2 and B4 of the external teeth 421 of the spindle 4, respectively, as shown in Figure 12b as A1B2 and A4B3. As shown in Figure 12c, the rotating component 23 continues to rotate clockwise and drives the external teeth 421 of the spindle 4 to rotate synchronously clockwise, thereby unlocking.

[0052] Next, as shown in Figure 12d, the gearbox 2 drives the internal teeth 232 of the rotating component 23 to rotate counterclockwise to the working position shown in Figure 12e. After the rotating component 23 travels unloaded for a period of time, the side walls A2 and A3 of the internal teeth 232 of the rotating component 23 abut against the side walls B4 and B1 of the external teeth 421 of the spindle 4, as shown in Figure 12d as A2B4 and A3B1. As shown in Figure 12e, the rotating component 23 continues to rotate counterclockwise and drives the external teeth 421 of the spindle 4 to rotate synchronously counterclockwise, thereby achieving locking.

[0053] In this embodiment, in the pivot mechanism formed by the spindle 4 and the rotating component 23, when the gearbox 2 drives the rotating component 23 to switch between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, the gearbox 2 first performs a certain stroke of no-load operation, and then drives the spindle 4 to rotate after pivoting with the spindle 4. This reduces the load current of the motor 21 of the gearbox 2 when starting, reduces the failure rate of the motor, extends its service life, and enhances the reliability of the clutch transmission device.
