Description
A controller for a gearbox and its control method Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lock technology, and more specifically, to a gearbox controller and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] In today's intelligent world, various traditional products have entered the digital stage. In the smart lock industry, with the deepening of digitalization, various intelligent new technologies are constantly being added, increasing the level of automation of locks.
[0003] In existing technologies, when smart locks perform electronic locking (non-manual locking) operations, the controller needs to determine whether the lock is currently in the unlocked or locked state, and then control the rotation direction of the motor based on the current state of the lock. However, some locks in related technologies do not have a convenient and accurate solution for detecting whether the lock is unlocked or locked. How to invent a gearbox controller and its control method to solve these problems has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a gearbox controller and its control method, which aims to solve the problem of inconvenient and inefficient detection of whether a lock is fully unlocked or fully locked.
[0005] This invention is implemented as follows:
[0006] The present invention provides a gearbox controller, including a housing, a side plate 1 and a side plate 2 respectively on both sides of the housing, a connecting plate on one side of the side plate 2, a docking part and a rotating assembly connected to the side plate 1, a partition assembly and a toggle assembly inside the housing, a drive assembly connected to the housing, and a sensing module on the side wall of the side plate 2.
[0007] Preferably, one side of the housing is fixedly connected to side plate one, and the other side of the housing is fixedly connected to side plate two. The end of side plate two away from the housing is detachably connected to a connecting plate. The side of side plate one located inside the housing is fixedly connected to a docking member, and the side wall of the docking member is provided with a groove.
[0008] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a rotating column and a knob. The knob is rotatably connected to the side wall of side plate one. One end of the rotating column is fixedly connected to the side wall of the knob. A plurality of circumferentially arranged limiting blocks are fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column. A lock cylinder groove is provided at the other end of the rotating column. The end of the rotating column away from the knob passes through side plate two and the connecting plate.
[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor, a helical gear, and a gear ring. The motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing. One end of the motor passes through the side wall of the housing and is fixedly connected to the helical gear. The helical gear meshes with the gear ring. The gear ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing. A drive gear is fixedly connected to one side of the gear ring. The drive assembly also includes a gear disk.
[0010] Preferably, the picking assembly includes a picking member, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating column. The picking member is arranged in a ring shape, and the side wall of the picking member is provided with a plurality of limiting slots that match the limiting blocks. The picking member is located on one side of the docking member.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the pusher is fixedly connected to a limiting slider, the limiting slider is slidably connected to the groove, and the other end of the pusher is fixedly connected to a connecting block. There are two connecting blocks, which are rotationally symmetrical about the central axis of the pusher. One of the connecting blocks has a groove on its side wall, and a magnet is provided inside the groove.
[0012] Preferably, the partition assembly includes an output disk, which is meshed with a gear disk, the output disk is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating column, the output disk is rotatably connected to the rotating column, and the output disk is located on the side of the lifting member away from the docking member.
[0013] Preferably, the side wall of the output disk is provided with a movable slot, and the side wall of the output disk away from the pusher is provided with a fan-shaped groove that cooperates with the connecting block. The side wall of the output disk away from the pusher is fixedly connected with a partition, and there are two partitions, which are rotationally symmetrical about the central axis of the output disk.
[0014] The control method for a gearbox controller includes the following steps:
[0015] S1: Determine whether the first trigger signal from the sensor module has been received, or whether the third trigger signal from the sensor module has been received;
[0016] S2: After receiving the signal, the terminal processor analyzes and processes it, and generates an unlocking signal;
[0017] S3: Then control the knob to rotate so that the rotating column drives the pick to rotate to the preset position angle;
[0018] S4: Complete the unlocking process.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0020] When the lock / unlock signal is triggered, the signal between the partition and the first and third sensors can be used to determine whether the motor is rotating forward or backward. The movement position of the two connecting blocks can be limited by the movable slot and the fan-shaped slot to ensure that the output plate rotates on the rotating column. This prevents the rotation angle from being too large and thus failing to trigger the first and third sensors through the partition. In addition, the partition can be used to determine the rotation angle of the output plate. At the same time, the counterclockwise or clockwise rotation of the knob can position the connecting block with the magnet on one side of the second or fourth sensor. The right-opening and left-opening actions are completed by sensing the two Hall sensors, which can accurately detect whether the lock is locked or unlocked. The operation is also convenient.

Detailed Implementation
[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] According to Figures 1-14, a gearbox controller includes a housing 3. Side plates 1 and 4 are provided on both sides of the housing 3. A connecting plate 5 is provided on one side of the side plate 4. The side plate 1 is connected to a docking part 101 and a rotating assembly 2. The interior of the housing 3 is provided with a partition assembly 11 and a toggle assembly 12. The housing 3 is connected to a drive assembly 6. A sensing module is provided on the side wall of the side plate 4.
[0041] According to a control method for a gearbox controller, the steps are as follows:
[0042] S1: Determine whether the first trigger signal from the sensor module has been received, or whether the third trigger signal from the sensor module has been received;
[0043] S2: After receiving the signal, the terminal processor analyzes and processes it, and generates an unlocking signal;
[0044] S3: Then control the knob 23 to rotate so that the rotating column 22 drives the pick-up piece 1201 to rotate to the preset position angle;
[0045] S4: Complete the unlocking process.
[0046] Furthermore, one side of the housing 3 is fixedly connected to side plate 1, and the other side of the housing 3 is fixedly connected to side plate 4. The end of side plate 4 away from the housing 3 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 5. The side of side plate 1 located inside the housing 3 is fixedly connected to the docking part 101. The side wall of the docking part 101 is provided with a groove 102.
[0047] Overall assembly: The sensing module includes a first sensor 7, a second sensor 8, a third sensor 9, and a fourth sensor 10. The first sensor 7, the second sensor 8, the third sensor 9, and the fourth sensor 10 are set on the axial rotation trajectory of the knob 23. The two sides of the housing 3 are fixed to the side plate 1 and the side plate 4 respectively by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and makes it easy to maintain and inspect the parts inside the housing 3. The groove 102 has an angle of 45° with the horizontal plane. The setting of the docking part 101 and the groove 102 restricts the rotation position of the prying part 1201, thereby ensuring that the magnetic block installed on the connecting block 1204 can trigger the signal between the corresponding second sensor 8 and the fourth sensor 10. The side plate 4 and the connecting plate 5, as well as the side plate 1 and the rotating assembly 2 can be assembled and disassembled, and damaged parts can be replaced and repaired individually, reducing costs. In addition, the first sensor 7 is a photoelectric sensor A, the second sensor 8 is a Hall sensor #1, the third sensor 9 is a photoelectric sensor B, and the fourth sensor 10 is a Hall sensor #2.
[0048] Referring to Figures 4-6, further; the drive assembly 6 includes a motor 61, a helical gear 62, and a gear ring 63. The motor 61 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 3. One end of the motor 61 passes through the side wall of the housing 3 and is fixedly connected to the helical gear 62. The helical gear 62 is meshed with the gear ring 63. The gear ring 63 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 3. A drive gear 631 is fixedly connected to one side of the gear ring 63. The drive assembly 6 also includes a gear disk 66; the drive assembly 6 also includes a gear disk 64 and a gear disk. Gear disks 64, 65, and 66 are all rotatably connected to the inner wall of housing 3. Gear disk 64 meshes with the driving gear 631. A driven gear 641 is fixedly connected to the side wall of gear disk 64, and the driven gear 641 meshes with gear disk 65. A rotating disk 651 is fixedly connected to the side wall of gear disk 65, and a rotating disk 661 is fixedly connected to the side wall of gear disk 66. Rotating disks 651 and 661 are connected in a transmission manner.
[0049] The operation of the drive assembly 6 on the isolation assembly 11 is as follows: When the switch lock signal is triggered, the starter motor 61 drives the helical gear 62 at one end to rotate. Then, through the meshing connection between the helical gear 62 and the gear ring 63, the driving gear 631 on the gear ring 63 drives the gear disk 1 64 to rotate. Then, through the driven gear 641, the gear disk 2 and the rotating disk 651 rotate synchronously. The rotating disk 1 651 and the rotating disk 2 661 are connected by friction transmission, so the rotating disk 2 661 drives the gear disk 3 66 to rotate. Finally, through the meshing connection between the gear disk 3 66 and the output disk 1101, the output disk 1101 rotates on the rotating column 22. The signal between the isolation component 1103 and the first sensor 7 and the third sensor 9 is used to determine whether the motor 61 is rotating forward or backward. The isolation component 1103 can be a through-beam photoelectric isolation plate. In addition, the drive assembly 6 can be set with a single or multiple sets of gear transmission mechanisms as needed.
[0050] Furthermore, the partition assembly 11 includes an output disk 1101, which is meshed with a gear disk 66. The output disk 1101 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating column 22, and the output disk 1101 is rotatably connected to the rotating column 22. The output disk 1101 is located on the side of the lifting member 1201 away from the docking member 101. The side wall of the output disk 1101 is provided with a movable slot 1102. The side wall of the end of the output disk 1101 away from the lifting member 1201 is provided with a fan-shaped groove 1104 that cooperates with the connecting block 1204. The side wall of the end of the output disk 1101 away from the lifting member 1201 is fixedly connected to a partition member 1103. There are two partition members 1103, and the two partition members 1103 are rotationally symmetrical about the central axis of the output disk 1101.
[0051] The partition assembly 11 limits the rotation of the pusher 1201: the movable slot 1102 on the output disk 1101 is slidably connected to a connecting block 1204 with a magnetic block. The movable slot 1102 limits its movement position. The fan-shaped slot 1104 is slidably connected to another connecting block 1204 and its movement trajectory is displayed to ensure that the output disk 1101 rotates on the rotating column 22. This avoids the rotation angle being too large, which would prevent the first sensor 7 and the third sensor 9 from being triggered by the partition 1103. In addition, the output disk 1101 and the partition 1103 are opaque. The partition 1103 can be used to determine the rotation angle of the output disk 1101.
[0052] In embodiment 2, referring to Figures 4-9, the rotating assembly 2 further includes a rotating column 22 and a knob 23. The knob 23 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the side plate 1. One end of the rotating column 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the knob 23. A plurality of circumferentially distributed limiting blocks 24 are fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 22. A lock core groove 21 is opened at the other end of the rotating column 22. The end of the rotating column 22 away from the knob 23 passes through the side plate 4 and the connecting plate 5.
[0053] The rotating assembly 2 limits and fixes the pry bar 1201: After the rotating column 22 and the side plate 1 are installed, the pry bar 1201 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating column 22, and the limiting slot 1203 on the pry bar 1201 is connected to the limiting block 24 on the rotating column 22 in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the pry bar 1201. The lock cylinder slot 21 is set to be used in conjunction with the matching lock chip to facilitate the unlocking process.
[0054] Furthermore, the picking assembly 12 includes a picking member 1201, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating column 22. The picking member 1201 is arranged in a ring shape. The side wall of the picking member 1201 is provided with several limiting slots 1203 that match the limiting blocks 24. The picking member 1201 is located on one side of the docking member 101. One end of the picking member 1201 is fixedly connected to a limiting slider 1202, which is slidably connected to the groove 102. The other end of the picking member 1201 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 1204. There are two connecting blocks 1204. The two connecting blocks 1204 are rotationally symmetrical about the central axis of the picking member 1201. One of the connecting blocks 1204 has a groove 1205 on its side wall, and a magnet is provided inside the groove 1205.
[0055] The triggering of the second sensor 8 and the fourth sensor 10 by the pusher 1201: In the initial state, the limit block 24 is located in the middle position of the limit slot 1203. When the door needs to be opened, rotating the knob 23 drives the rotating column 22 to rotate synchronously. Through the limiting connection between the limit slot 1203 and the limit block 24, the rotating column 22 can drive the pusher 1201 to rotate. The horizontal angle between the second sensor 8 and the fourth sensor 10 is 180°. In addition, as shown in Figure 15, the system architecture includes a lock, a knob 23, a network center, a server, and a terminal. The lock can be connected to the server or terminal through the network center. The network center can provide services between the terminal and the server. The communication medium for various connection types of communication links can be, for example, wired communication links, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables. The server can be an independent physical server, but is not limited to this. The terminal can be a mobile phone, computer, tablet, etc., which includes a camera or video playback function. The lock can be a fingerprint lock or a password lock, as well as a smart lock based on terminal applications. In the smart lock opening and closing mode (such as locking via fingerprint, remote locking and unlocking based on applications, or locking and unlocking via password), the lock is opened / closed by driving component 6. At the same time, the lock can also be manually opened and closed by knob 23. In the manual lock opening and closing mode, the driving component 6 is not required.
[0056] The working principle of the gearbox controller and its control method:
[0057] First, the output plate 1101 first determines the direction of the door opening to the right. When the knob 23 is rotated 90° counterclockwise as shown in Figure 12, the connecting block 1204 with a magnet is positioned on one side of the second sensor 8. The right door opening action is completed through the sensing of Hall sensor #1. When the knob 23 is rotated 90° clockwise as shown in Figure 13, the connecting block 1204 with a magnet is positioned on one side of the fourth sensor 10. The left door opening action is completed through the sensing of Hall sensor #2. In addition, photoelectric sensor A and Hall sensor #1, photoelectric sensor B and Hall sensor #2 are two types of sensors, and each type of sensor is allowed to have a maximum of one sensor in the hardware. When the sensor is triggered, the value is 1, and when it is disconnected, the value is 0.
[0058] II. Left-opening door operation logic (knob vertical, initial state)
[0059] 1. Initial state (knob vertical)
[0060] Locked-in state
[0061] At this time, knob 23 is vertical, just like a switch in the initial position. There are two photoelectric sensors (photoelectric A and photoelectric B) and two Hall sensors (Hall 1# and Hall 2#). In this initial state, photoelectric A displays 1, photoelectric B displays 0, and both Hall sensors display 0.
[0062] Lock-in recovery status
[0063] When the lock is in the retracted position, knob 23 is still vertical, photoelectric A is 1, photoelectric B is 0, and both Hall sensors are also 0. This is like the door being closed and the bolt being retracted inside.
[0064] 2. Manual operation
[0065] Locking manual extension
[0066] When you manually turn knob 23 to the right to the horizontal position, it's like you're turning a key to open a door. At this time, photoelectric A is still 1, photoelectric B is still 0, and the two Hall sensors are also still 0, which means that the bolt has started to extend outward.
[0067] Locking electric extension
[0068] If the bolt is extended electrically, knob 23 will also turn to the horizontal position. The status of photoelectric A, photoelectric B, and the two Hall sensors will be the same as when the bolt is extended manually: photoelectric A will be 1, photoelectric B will be 0, and the two Hall sensors will be 0.
[0069] 3. Door locking operation (electric locking)
[0070] Output plate 1101 rotates (clockwise)
[0071] When the door is to be locked, an output plate 1101 starts to rotate clockwise. At this time, photoelectric A becomes 1, photoelectric B also becomes 1, and Hall effect sensor 1# becomes 1. This is like the bolt slowly extending out to lock the door. Then the output plate 1101 will pause for a moment and then rotate counterclockwise back. When it rotates counterclockwise, photoelectric A is still 1 and Hall effect sensor 1# is still 1. Finally, the output plate 1101 stops, and the door is locked.
[0072] 4. Door opening operation (electric unlocking)
[0073] Output plate 1101 rotates (counterclockwise)
[0074] When the door is about to be opened, the output plate 1101 starts to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, photoelectric A is 1, Hall 1# becomes 1, photoelectric B becomes 1, and then Hall 1# returns to 0, which is like the latch retracting. Then the output plate 1101 will pause for a moment, and then rotate clockwise back. When it rotates, photoelectric A is still 1. Finally, the output plate 1101 stops, and the door can be opened.
[0075] III. Right-opening door operation logic (knob vertical, initial state)
[0076] 1. Initial state (knob vertical)
[0077] Locked-in state
[0078] When knob 23 is in the vertical position, this is the initial state. At this time, photoelectric A displays 0, photoelectric B displays 1, and Hall 1# and Hall 2# both display 0. This is like the door being closed and the lock being in the initial ready state.
[0079] 2. Manual operation
[0080] Locking manual extension
[0081] When you manually turn knob 23 to the left to the horizontal position, it's as if you're operating a key to open the door. At this time, photoelectric A is still 0, photoelectric B is still 1, and Hall 1# and Hall 2# remain unchanged at 0. This operation will cause the bolt to start extending.
[0082] Locking electric extension
[0083] If the bolt is extended electrically, knob 23 will also turn to the horizontal position. At this time, the states of photoelectric A, photoelectric B, Hall 1# and Hall 2# are the same as when it is extended manually, that is, photoelectric A is 0, photoelectric B is 1, and Hall 1# and Hall 2# are 0.
[0084] 3. Door locking operation (electric locking)
[0085] Output plate 1101 rotates (counterclockwise)
[0086] When the door is to be locked electrically, the output plate 1101 starts to rotate counterclockwise. First, photoelectric B is 1, then photoelectric A becomes 1, and then Hall 2# becomes 1. This is like the bolt gradually extending to lock the door. After that, the output plate 1101 will pause for a moment, and then rotate clockwise back. When it rotates, photoelectric B is still 1 and Hall 2# is still 1. Finally, the output plate 1101 stops, and the door is locked.
[0087] 4. Door opening operation (electric unlocking)
[0088] Output plate 1101 rotates (clockwise)
[0089] When the door is about to be opened, the output plate 1101 starts to rotate clockwise. At this time, photoelectric B is 1, Hall 2# becomes 1, photoelectric A becomes 1, and then Hall 2# returns to 0, which is like the latch retracting. Then the output plate 1101 will pause for a moment, and then rotate clockwise back. When it rotates counterclockwise, photoelectric B is still 1. Finally, the output plate 1101 stops, and the door can be opened.
[0090] IV. Automatic Identification Process
[0091] 4.1 Figure 16A shows the self-identification and judgment of the deadbolt when the door is installed on the left.
[0092] 4.1.1 Output plate 1101 rotates left (counterclockwise): Photoelectric A (1) -> Photoelectric B (1) -> Motor stalls. Due to the lock, the motor stalls, the current exceeds the limit / the unlocking time exceeds the limit, and the next action is initiated.
[0093] 4.1.2 Output disk 1101 turns right (clockwise): Photoelectric B (1) -> Photoelectric A (1) -> Photoelectric B (1) Synchronous Hall 1# (1) -> Output disk 1101 pauses for 1.5s -> (Output disk 1101 reverses) --> Photoelectric A (1) Synchronous Hall 1# (1);
[0094] The left-opening door has been successfully locked. The door opening direction has been successfully identified. Proceed to the next step and execute the unlocking procedure once.
[0095] 4.1.3 Output plate 1101 turns left (counterclockwise): Photoelectric A (1) synchronous Hall 1# (1) -> Photoelectric B (1) synchronous Hall 1# (0) -> Output plate 1101 stops for 1.5s -> (Output plate 1101 reverses) -> Photoelectric A (1);
[0096] The left door unlocking was successful. The automatic verification lock is working properly and installed correctly. The sound and light synchronization prompts are correct (the buzzer makes 3 long beeps of BI..BI...BI.., and the green light flashes 3 times in sync. The buzzer and light can be installed on the connecting plate 5).
[0097] 4.2 Figure 16A shows the self-identification and judgment of the deadbolt when the door is installed on the right.
[0098] 4.2.1 Output plate 1101 turns left (counterclockwise): Photoelectric A (1) -> Photoelectric B (1) -> Photoelectric A (1) Synchronous Hall 2# (1) -> Output plate 1101 stops for 1.5s -> (Output plate 1101 reverses) -> Photoelectric B (1) Synchronous Hall 2# (1);
