Electric Lock Clutch Mechanism Design for Mode Interference

The patent combines the clutch mechanism with the existing driving structure by integrating the elastic member and inclined surfaces into the housing's driving structure. The driving member serves dual purposes: it transmits motor torque and simultaneously functions as the clutch element that prevents interference between electronic and manual modes. This merging eliminates the need for separate clutch components while maintaining the protective function.

The driving member is designed to perform multiple functions: it acts as both the torque transmission element from the motor and the clutch mechanism that prevents simultaneous operation of electronic and manual controls. The elastic member with inclined surfaces provides both the clutch engagement function and the directional control function, allowing a single component to handle multiple operational requirements.

The patent integrates the clutch mechanism directly into the housing's driving structure, combining multiple functions into existing components. The elastic member is arranged within the housing and works with the driving structure's inclined surfaces, eliminating the need for separate clutch assemblies and reducing manufacturing steps.

The elastic member automatically engages with the inclined surfaces based on the rotational direction of the driving member, providing self-regulating clutch functionality without requiring external control mechanisms. The mechanism automatically prevents improper operation through its mechanical design, where the elastic member's engagement geometry inherently blocks simultaneous electronic and manual control activation.
