Synchronized Double Lock Mechanism for Single-App Door Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing smart lock systems compromise security when using a single smart lock, and employing two locks requires separate applications for control, reducing convenience.
Innovation Solution
A double lock system with an interior and exterior body, featuring synchronously coupled handle and deadbolt lock mechanisms, controlled by a single application for simultaneous actuation, and a mode selector for various locking modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If two smart locks are employed to enhance security, then security is improved, but control convenience deteriorates as two separate applications are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two separate smart lock control systems into a single unified application. The system integrates control of both the deadbolt lock mechanism and handle lock mechanism through one interface, allowing users to manage multiple locks without needing separate applications for each lock device.
2Ease of operation
If a single smart lock is used, then control convenience is maintained, but security is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines multiple locking mechanisms (deadbolt and handle lock) into a single integrated lock system that is controlled through one application. This merging approach allows the system to provide enhanced security through multiple locks while maintaining the convenience of single-application control.
3Adaptability or versatility
If two separate applications control two locks, then each lock can be independently controlled, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal control application that can manage multiple lock mechanisms through a single interface. The system provides multi-functionality by allowing users to control both deadbolt and handle locks, adjust locking modes, and manage access permissions all within one application, reducing the need for multiple specialized applications.

AI summary
A double lock system enhances door security while simplifying operation. The system features an exterior body and an interior body attached to opposite sides of a door. A handle lock mechanism and a deadbolt lock mechanism are integrated into both bodies and synchronized by a linkage apparatus. The linkage apparatus includes a top element engaging a cam of the deadbolt mechanism, a bottom element engaging a locking pin of the handle mechanism, and a connecting spring linking the two. An actuator attached to the deadbolt mechanism triggers simultaneous actuation of both locks. Wireless connectivity via a transceiver and a user-operated mode selector enable remote operation and multiple locking configurations. In one embodiment, a single cylinder unlocks both the handle and deadbolt mechanisms, providing enhanced security and ease of use with a single application.
