Dual-Code Lock Core Segmentation for Multi-User Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional combination locks are limited by only having one set of codes, making them inconvenient for multiple users and lacking structural design flexibility, as they rely on a single unlocking component.
Innovation Solution
A dual-code lock core with two independent unlocking components and code wheels, allowing for separate unlocking positions and code combinations, enhancing user convenience and structural design adaptability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional combination locks use only one unlocking component, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability and convenience for multiple users is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The lock core is segmented into multiple independent unlocking components (first unlocking component and second unlocking component), each associated with its own code wheel and code components. This segmentation allows different users to have different code combinations without interfering with each other, thereby improving adaptability for multiple users while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The lock core is designed with multi-functionality to serve multiple users simultaneously. Each unlocking component can be independently activated by its corresponding code wheel, enabling the same lock to provide unlocking access to different users with different codes. This universal design resolves the contradiction by allowing one lock system to fulfill multiple user needs.
2Ease of operation
If conventional combination locks provide only one group of codes, then the code structure is simple, but the ease of operation for multiple users is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The code structure is segmented into multiple independent code groups, with each group associated with a specific unlocking component and code wheel. Users can independently set and operate different code combinations for different unlocking components, improving ease of operation for multiple users while managing complexity through clear functional separation of code groups.
Solution Approach 2:
The code structure is made dynamic and flexible, allowing users to assign different code combinations to different unlocking components based on their needs. The code wheels can rotate to different positions and the unlocking components can be selectively activated, providing operational flexibility that enhances user convenience without creating an overly complex code management system.

AI summary
A dual-code lock core is provided, including a first unlocking component, a code wheel, and a second unlocking component. When the code wheel rotates to a first unlocking position, the first unlocking component may move to unlock the dual-code lock core; and when the code wheel rotates to a second unlocking position, the second unlocking component may move to unlock the dual-code lock core.
