Description

Method for controlling electronic lock, electronic lock, key end and lock core end

Technical field

The present application relates to, but is not limited to, smart lock technology, and more particularly to a method of controlling an electronic lock, an electronic lock, a key end and a lock core end.

Background technique

In order to effectively manage the keys of a large number of various cabinets (such as racks for placing communication equipment) in the operator's communication network, the maintenance complexity of a large number of keys is reduced, and the safety of a large number of cabinets is improved. Sex, operators use lock management systems extensively. The lock management system implements a comprehensive management of a large number of cabinets, including authorization of specific enclosure unlocking and locking functions according to work requirements.

In order to improve manageability, the lock management system usually uses an active electronic lock as an unlocking component for a large number of cabinets. The existing lock management system usually includes a main control terminal, one or more mobile control terminals, a large number (such as tens of thousands or even more) of the cylinder core ends, and a small number (such as tens or even more) of key terminals. Logically, the key end and the lock cylinder end form an electronic lock. In practice, the key end is generally applied to each cylinder end under the jurisdiction of the lock management system. Specifically,

The main control end, such as the network management system of the communication network, is mainly used to: manage the lock number and lock identifier of all electronic locks under the jurisdiction; manage task information (such as work orders) describing the work tasks, such as creating task information, distributing task information Etc; send the task information to the mobile console specified by the task information. It should be noted that the task information includes at least a lock number and a lock identifier corresponding to the lock core end of each box involved, and the task information may further include instructions on how to operate the communication device in the involved box. . The lock number (such as a six-digit decimal number) is used to uniquely represent the core of the lock cylinder, and the lock identifier (such as a 128-bit binary number) is used to determine whether the lock can be unlocked.

The mobile control terminal, such as a mobile terminal, is mainly used for: receiving task information sent by the main control terminal; if the task information includes a lock number and a lock identifier, indicating an external command (such as selection information of a maintenance person using the mobile control terminal) The lock symbol corresponding to the lock number is sent to the key end. In practice, the maintenance personnel carries the key end that receives the lock number and the lock identifier into the position of the cabinet (such as the machine room); in all the boxes in the position, the box marked with the lock number is searched; The box body: selects the lock identifier corresponding to the lock number marked on the current box in the mobile control terminal in human-computer interaction mode, and sends the selected lock identifier to the key end.

The key end, such as a smart card, is mainly used to: forward the received lock identifier to the lock core end connected to the key end; wherein the key end can be wirelessly communicated (for example, by swiping a card) or by wired communication (for example, a card) ) is connected to the cylinder end.

The lock core end is mainly used to: if the received lock identifier is consistent with the lock identifier saved on the lock core end, the unlock authorization is performed. In practice, after unlocking the authorization, the maintenance personnel open the box door of the box and perform maintenance work.

The active electronic lock requires a power supply for the power supply inside the cabinet. Once the cabinet is locked and the internal power of the cabinet is exhausted, the active electronic lock will not work, and the cabinet will not lock normally. In order to avoid the internal power supply of the cabinet, the cabinet can not be opened normally. It is necessary to regularly maintain the internal power supply of the cabinet in a large number of cabinets. For example, the internal power supply of a large number of cabinets is periodically charged. The amount of power inside the cabinet that usually needs to be maintained is very high. The huge size makes the maintenance of the internal power supply of the cabinet very complicated, which obviously increases the operation and maintenance complexity of the lock management system, thereby increasing the operation and maintenance cost of the communication network.
