Description
Technical Field
The present utility model relates to a closure device, such as particularly but not exclusively to a closure device equipped with an electric lock system for use in a venue.
Background
Electric lock systems have been in existence for decades and have improved over time, but their basic mechanisms remain.
Within a venue, the smart lock allows a user to enter his venue or provide access to others without the need for a traditional key. Typically, smartphones or key fobs are used for wireless authentication and mechanical unlocking of doors. Many smart lock systems use mobile applications or websites that allow users to grant access rights to third parties by sending virtual keys. The virtual key may be sent via a short message or email to enable access by a guest or attendant. Once received, these encrypted digital keys allow access to the smart lock for a preset period of time. In addition to regulating access rights, many smart locks also record access rights, thereby providing a way to monitor the usage of a given security door. Intelligent locks are an extension of automation in the security field.
Potential vulnerabilities in smart locks do cause security problems. The security advisor recommends that the smart lock not necessarily be considered more secure than traditional locks and keys, and recommends that the user carefully consider settings and options. When the battery in the smart lock is depleted, it becomes indistinguishable from a conventional lock. All electrical functions are disabled. The lock then constitutes an obstacle that cannot be bypassed, for example, when facial recognition is required to be opened.
The present utility model seeks to obviate or at least mitigate these disadvantages by providing a new closure device with an electric lock system.

Detailed Description
Referring to the drawings, there is shown a closure device 100 embodying the present utility model having two sides (inner and outer) as in fig. 1A and 1B. The closure device 100 includes a peripheral portion 101 defining an opening in which a door portion 102 may be received to close the opening. In a preferred embodiment, the closure device 100 takes the form of a door 100 having a door frame 101, the door frame 101 receiving a door panel 102 to close an opening defined by the door frame 101. The door 100 is installed for a residence.
The door 100 is equipped with an electric lock system 200 comprising an electronic module 201 and a mechanical module 202. The electronic module 201 and the mechanical module 202 are electrically connected such that the electronic module 201 controls the mechanical module 202, except in special cases, for example when the electronic module 201 has been overridden or is not powered by a power supply. The locking of the door panel 102 is performed by means of a conventional mechanical lock provided with a mechanical module 202. The electronic module 201 unlocks the mechanical lock after approval by the controller/processor. The mechanical lock may also be unlocked by a conventional physical key that when used overrides the electronic module 201 to control the mechanical module 202.
The electronic module 201 is powered by a power storage unit, such as a battery, which is rechargeable and is housed within the electronic module 201. The door 100 includes a charger 300, and the charger 300 charges a battery whenever the door 100 or its door panel 102 is in a closed state, or is not in an open state or a ajar state. Referring to fig. 2, the charger 300 is an inductive charger, and is composed of two parts, namely a receiving part 301 and a transmitting part 302. The receiving portion 301 is provided at the upper end of the door panel 102, and the transmitting portion 302 is provided on the door frame 101. The receiving section 301 and the transmitting section 302 are connected wirelessly or connectable wirelessly. The receiving section 301 includes a receiving module 301A and a receiving coil 301B. The transmitting portion 302 includes a transmitting module 302A and a transmitting coil 302B. For optimal connection, the distance between the receiving portion 301 and the transmitting portion 302 should fall within a range of about 4mm to about 6 mm. The inductive charger is powered by an ac power supply 400 through a step-down transformer 401 embedded in the wall or ceiling near the door frame 101. When the door panel 102 is in the closed position, the receiving portion 301 and the transmitting portion 302 are sufficiently close to allow the former to receive power transmitted from the latter by induction to charge the battery. As soon as the door 100 is properly closed, the battery of the electronic module 201 is charged and there is little possibility of the battery being dead.
In a different embodiment, if the emitting portion 302 is located in a different location, such as at an adjacent wall, the door panel 102 will open to the adjacent wall when open and be sufficiently close to the adjacent wall when fully open, nothing prevents charging when the door 100 is in the open state. If two emitting portions 302 are installed, battery charging may also be performed in the closed and open states of the door 100, one of the emitting portions being close to the receiving portion 301 when the door panel 102 is closed, and the other emitting portion being close to the receiving portion 301 when the door panel 102 is fully opened.
As shown in fig. 3A, 3B, and 4, the electronic module 201 has an indoor unit 2011 facing the inside of the venue and an outdoor unit 2012 facing the outside of the venue. The indoor unit 2011 and the outdoor unit 2012 are different in configuration because they serve to provide different functions. The battery is disposed in the indoor unit 2011. A controller is provided within the electronic module 201, the controller including a processor and data storage on a control circuit board.
As shown in fig. 3A, the indoor unit 2011 is relatively simple. It has a buzzer 2011A, a switch 2011B, LED 2011C and a Wi-Fi antenna. When the doorbell is pressed from outside the door panel 102, the buzzer 2011A provides an audio indication that indicates the arrival of the visitor. Switch 2011B provides an option to disable electronic module 201 or to disconnect electronic module 201 from mechanical module 202, thereby switching electric lock system 200 to a mechanical lock system. Switch 2011B also provides a pairing mode. When the electronic module 201 is in the pairing mode, the user can pair the electronic device with the electronic module 201. As shown in fig. 3B, the switch 2011B is hidden by the cover. LED 2011C provides a visual indicator of the status of electric lock system 200 and may be seen from the interior of door panel 102. Wi-Fi antennas allow the controller/processor in the electronic module 201 to wirelessly communicate with nearby devices through a router, for example in the form of intercom calls from devices (e.g., smartphones) in the same location.
Referring to fig. 4, the outdoor unit 2012 includes a camera 2012A, a fingerprint scanner 2012B, a proximity switch 2012C, a data communicator 2012D, a speaker 2012E, C type USB 2012F, and an LED 2012G. The camera 2012A may be used to capture and transmit visual images outside of the venue while the door panel 102 remains closed. It is also used for facial recognition. It is able to capture an object or person by any audiovisual element of the image, video or face of said object or person. The information will be transmitted to the controller/processor for identification and verification. The camera 2012A communicates with a controller/processor. It may provide a photograph of anyone accessing the door 100, and it may facilitate easy reference photo logging in a data store associated with the processor. After verifying the person, information is sent to the processor by the electronic module 201 to unlock the mechanical module 202. The fingerprint scanner 2012B is for capturing a pattern of ridges and valleys on a finger. This information is sent to the controller/processor for analysis and matching by comparing the information to a list of enrolled fingerprints stored on a profile in a data store. The matching will allow unlocking of the mechanical module 202 by control of the electronic module 201. A proximity switch 2012C is associated with the doorbell to activate the doorbell to produce a doorbell sound that is broadcast by a buzzer 2011A in the indoor unit 2011. The data communicator 2012D may include a bluetooth communicator or a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna for short range information transmission. The data communicator 2012D on the door panel 102 will pair with another bluetooth device, such as a user's smartphone. Bluetooth may be used to pair the smartphone with the electric lock system 200 and unlock the electric lock system 200. For example, when a virtual key stored in the smartphone is presented to the wireless device 2012D, information is sent from the smartphone to the wireless device 2012D. After the identification and verification is complete, the processor/controller instructs the electronic module 201 to unlock the mechanical module 202. The speakers 2012E are mainly used for communication with each other. The type C USB allows the electronic module 201 to be powered using an external power source in an emergency. It may also allow data to be transferred between the electronic module 201 and another USB-C device. Finally, LED 2012G is a visual indicator for displaying the status of electric lock system 200 as seen from the exterior of door panel 102.
The door 100 may be used with a variety of electronic devices, such as smart phones, smart watches, wired or wireless front door intercom modules, and the like. These electronic devices may be modified by application programs (apps) to control the electronic module 201.
