Because the clutch member 143 and the locking structure are in the disconnected state when the electronic padlock is in the unlocking state, the phenomenon of locked rotation is not easy to occur even if the driving mechanism continues to move, and the service life of the electronic padlock in the embodiment can be prolonged.
Specifically, the driving mechanism in this embodiment includes a power mechanism 141 and a driving gear 142, where the driving gear 142 is mounted on the power mechanism 141 and rotates under the driving of the power mechanism 141, and correspondingly, a rack portion 1431 is provided on the clutch member 143, and in actual operation, the driving gear 142 is used to mesh with the rack portion 1431, and the power mechanism 141 drives the driving gear 142 to rotate, drives the rack portion 1431 and the clutch member 143 to rotate, so that the clutch member 143 is disconnected from the locking structure.
