It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by a person skilled in the art without any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application based on the embodiments of the present application.

The application provides an electronic lock, referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the electronic lock provided by the embodiment of the application, and fig. 2 is an explosion schematic diagram of the electronic lock shown in fig. 1. The electronic lock 1 comprises a lock body 10, a wire rope 20 and an electric control mechanism 30. The lock body 10 includes a housing 12 and a locking structure 14, the locking structure 14 being disposed within the housing 12. One end of the steel cable 20 is fixedly connected with the lock body 10, and the other end can penetrate through the locking structure 14. The locking structure 14 has a first operating state and a second operating state. When the locking structure 14 is in the first operating state, the other end of the cable 20 is movable relative to the locking structure 14 in the first direction, and the locking structure 14 is capable of restricting movement of the other end of the cable 20 in the second direction. When the locking structure 14 is in the second operating state, the other end of the cable 20 is movable relative to the locking structure 14 in a first direction and a second direction, the first and second directions being opposite.

The electric control mechanism 30 is connected to the locking structure 14, and the electric control mechanism 30 is configured to wirelessly receive a control command, for example, the electric control mechanism 30 may receive an external control command through NFC technology, bluetooth technology, or other wireless technology. The electronic control mechanism 30 is capable of allowing or preventing the locking structure 14 from entering the second operating state from the first operating state in accordance with the control command.

The locking structure 14 has a first working state and a second working state, when the electronic lockset 1 is in the first working state, the steel cable 20 can only move unidirectionally relative to the lock body 10, for example, can only move along the direction passing through the lock body 10 to enable the lockset to be in a locking state, can not move along the direction leaving the lock body 10, namely, can not enable the lockset to be unlocked, and when the electronic lockset 1 is in the second working state, the steel cable 20 can move bidirectionally relative to the lock body 10, namely, can move along the direction passing through the lock body 10, can also move along the direction leaving the lock body 10, so that the locking and unlocking of a user are facilitated. In addition, the electronic control mechanism 30 of the electronic lock 1 can allow or prevent the locking structure 14 from entering the second working state from the first working state, that is, the electronic control mechanism 30 can wirelessly receive the control instruction and control the locking structure 14 not to enter the second working state according to the control instruction, so that the electronic lock 1 is stabilized in the locking state, and the safety of the electronic lock 1 is ensured.

In some embodiments, the housing 12 includes opposing top and bottom edges 122, 124, one end of the cable 20 is secured relative to the top edge 122, e.g., one end of the cable 20 is secured within the housing or fixedly attached to the top edge 122, the other end of the cable 20 can be threaded from the top edge 122 and then out of the bottom edge 124, thereby locking the article with the cable 20 and the housing 12, and the length of the cable 20 for locking can be adjusted.

Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, fig. 3 is a schematic view illustrating another angle structure of the electronic lock shown in fig. 1, and fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the electronic lock shown in fig. 3 along the AA direction. In some examples, the locking structure 14 includes a sleeve 142, a core 144, a ball 146, and a first spring 148. Fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of a central axis of the electronic lock shown in fig. 2. The shaft core 144 is at least partially disposed in the shaft sleeve 142, the shaft core 144 includes a top section 1442 abutting against the top edge 122, and a middle section 1444 connected with the top section 1442, the middle section 1444 is disposed in the shaft sleeve 142, the surface of the middle section 1444 facing the shaft sleeve 142 is an inclined plane, and the middle section is provided with a through hole 14441. Ball 146 is disposed between middle section 1444 and sleeve 142, and partially disposed within bore 14441 and abuts cable 20. A first spring 148 is disposed between the core 144 and the bottom edge 124.

When the cable 20 is subjected to a force in a first direction, such as when the other end of the cable 20 is subjected to a force moving from the top side 122 toward the bottom side 124, the cable 20 drives the shaft core 144 toward the first spring 148 through the balls 146, that is, the cable 20 drives the balls 146 toward the bottom side 124 through friction with the balls 146, and the balls 146 are partially disposed in the through holes 14441 so as to drive the shaft core 144 toward the bottom side 124 (i.e., toward the first spring 148), because the surface of the middle section 1444 facing the sleeve 142 is inclined, and the inclined surface is inclined from the top side 122 toward the bottom side 124 and toward the sleeve 142, after the shaft core 144 moves toward the bottom side 124, the gap between the shaft core 144 and the sleeve 142 is increased, and the balls 146 can roll in the increased gap to move the cable 20 in the first direction.

When the cable 20 is subjected to a force in the second direction, such as when the other end of the cable 20 is subjected to a force moving from the bottom edge 124 toward the top edge 122, the shaft 144 cannot move toward the top edge 122 because the shaft 144 is already abutted against the top edge 122, the relative positions of the shaft 144 and the sleeve 142 are not changed, and the gap between the shaft 144 and the sleeve 142 is unchanged, so that the balls 146 are clamped by the shaft 144 and the sleeve 142 to clamp the cable 20. That is, the wire rope 20 cannot be separated from the lock body 10, and the wire rope 20 cannot be unlocked.

When the cable 20 is not subjected to an external force, the first spring 148 has an elastic restoring force, and makes the shaft core 144 abut against the top edge, so that the shaft core 144 no longer has an upward moving space, at this time, the cable 20 abuts against the ball 146, and the friction force between the ball 146 and the cable 20 is large, so that the cable 20 is locked.

The core 144 may further include a bottom section 1446, the bottom section 1446 being connected to the middle section 1444 on a side facing away from the top section 1442, and the first spring 148 may be sleeved on the bottom section 1446, so as to facilitate connection of the core 144 to the bottom edge 124 through the first spring 148. The middle section 1444 is larger than the bottom section, so that the middle section 1444 and the bottom edge 124 limit the first spring 148, and the bottom section 1446 is disposed in the middle of the first spring 148, so as to prevent the first spring 148 from being deflected.

In order to better understand the locking structure of the present embodiment, the locking structure is exemplified below. Firstly, 3 balls 146,3 balls 146 are arranged in the shaft core 144 and evenly distributed around the central shaft of the shaft core 144; then, the shaft core 144 with the ball 146 is arranged inside the shaft sleeve 142; the assembly of the shaft core 144 and the shaft sleeve 142 is sleeved into the first spring 148 and then is arranged in the shell 12, and the shaft core 144 is coaxial with the through hole of the steel cable 20 on the shell 12; after assembly, the springs of the shaft core 144 are compressed, the balls 146 are pressed towards the direction of the shaft core 144 under the force of the balls, and after penetrating into the steel cable 20, the friction force of sliding of the steel cable 20 is increased, so that the steel cable 20 is locked; after assembly, the top of the shaft core 144 contacts the top edge 122 of the housing 12, the shaft core 144 no longer has an upward movable space, and the gap between the steel cable 20 and the ball 146 is not changed, i.e. the locking friction force is not reduced; when the steel cable 20 is inserted, the bottom of the shaft core 144 and the bottom edge 124 of the shell 12 are supported by the first spring 148, the steel cable 20 presses the shaft core 144 downwards, and the gap between the steel cable 20 and the ball 146 is large in strain, so that the steel cable 20 can be easily inserted.

It is understood that the number of balls may be set as desired, such as 1 ball, 2 balls, 3 balls, 4 balls, etc. When the balls are multiple, the multiple balls are uniformly distributed around the central shaft of the shaft core.

In some embodiments, the electronic lockset further includes an unlocking structure 16, the unlocking structure 16 being connected to the locking structure 14 and controlling the locking structure 14 to switch between the first operating state and the second operating state.

In some examples, the unlocking structure 16 includes a toggle button 162, the toggle button 162 is disposed through the housing 12, the toggle button 162 includes a clamping portion 1622, the clamping portion 1622 is connected to a side of the sleeve 142 away from the top edge, the toggle button 162 is capable of moving relative to the housing 12, and the sleeve 142 is driven by the clamping portion 1622 to move toward the top edge 122, so that a gap between the shaft core 144 and the sleeve 142 is increased, a friction force between the ball 146 and the cable 20 is reduced, and the cable 20 can be conveniently pulled out from the locking structure 14. That is, when unlocking is required, the toggle button 162 is pushed upwards, the gap between the outer side of the ball 146 and the shaft sleeve 142 is correspondingly large, and the steel cable 20 can be easily pulled out.

The toggle button 162 may further include a toggle portion located outside the housing 12, where a portion of the toggle portion has a convex configuration, and a user may conveniently control movement of the toggle portion to control the switching of the locking structure 14 between the first operating state and the second operating state.

In some examples, the locking structure 14 further includes a second spring 164, where the second spring 164 is disposed between the sleeve 142 and the top edge, and the second spring 164 drives the sleeve 142 away from the top edge 122 after the external force driving the toggle button 162 to move is removed. The second spring 164 may provide a force to return the locking structure 14 from the second operating state to the first operating state while also resetting the toggle button 162.

In some examples, a recess 1422 is provided on a side of the sleeve 142 facing away from the top edge, and a portion of the engaging portion 1622 is engaged with the recess 1422 to mount the toggle button 162. Toggle button 162 is mounted by a snap fit with sleeve 142, rather than with housing 12, optimizing the mounting configuration.

In some embodiments, the electronic control mechanism 30 includes a motor 32 and a catch 362, the motor 32 being capable of driving the catch 362 to move between the sleeve 142 and the top edge 122 or out from between the sleeve 142 and the top edge 122. When the motor 32 drives the catch 362 between the sleeve 142 and the top edge 122, the sleeve 142 cannot move upward, so that the locking structure 14 cannot be switched from the first operating state to the second operating state, i.e. the electronic lock 1 cannot be unlocked. When the motor 32 drives the tab 362 out from between the sleeve 142 and the top edge 122, the sleeve 142 may move upward and the locking structure 14 may switch between the first operating state and the second operating state, i.e., unlock the electronic lock 1.

In some embodiments, the electronic lock 1 further includes a motor casing 34, an eccentric 36, and a waterproof ring 38, the motor 32 is disposed in the motor casing 34, the motor 32 includes a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is disposed through the motor casing 34. The eccentric wheel 36 is mounted on the rotating shaft, the eccentric wheel 36 comprises a circular ring portion and a baffle 362, the circular ring portion is sleeved with the rotating shaft, and the baffle 362 is arranged on one side of the circular ring portion. The waterproof ring 38 is sleeved on the rotating shaft and is arranged between the eccentric wheel 36 and the motor casing 34, so that the waterproof performance of the motor 32 can be improved, and liquid is prevented from entering the motor casing 34 from the position between the motor casing 34 and the eccentric wheel 36.

The waterproof ring 38 is compressed when disposed between the eccentric 36 and the motor housing 34, thereby providing a better waterproof effect.

In some embodiments, the electronic lock 1 further includes a detection switch 50, the eccentric 36 further includes a protruding tab 364, the tab 364 can toggle the detection switch 50, for example, when the motor 32 drives the tab 362 to move between the sleeve 142 and the top edge 122, the tab 364 drives the detection switch 50 to be in a first state, the motor 32 drives the tab 362 to move out from between the sleeve 142 and the top edge 122, the tab 364 drives the detection switch 50 to be in a second state, and the position of the tab 362 can be obtained by the detection switch 50 being in the first state or the second state, so that the electronic lock 1 is allowed or prevented from moving the locking structure 14 from the first operating state to the second operating state at this time.

The rotary plate 364 and the catch 362 may both be provided on the eccentric 36, i.e. the rotary plate 364 and the catch 362 are in synchronous motion, so that the current state of the electronic lock 1 may be determined by the detection switch 50.

Wherein, waterproof ring 38 and pivot can be interference fit, further improves the waterproof performance of motor 32.

In some embodiments, the side of the motor casing 34 away from the rotating shaft is covered with a waterproof glue layer, which further improves the performance of the motor 32 in terms of ways and prevents liquid from entering the motor casing 34 from other areas of the motor casing 34. In some examples, the waterproof glue layer may wrap around the entire motor housing 34.

In some embodiments, one end of the cable 20 is integrally formed with the housing 12. One end of the steel cable 20 is integrally formed with the shell 12, and can bear larger pulling force, after the steel cable 20 and the shell 12 are integrally formed, no gap exists between the steel cable 20 and the shell 12, the steel cable 20 can bear larger torsion, the position movement is not easy to be caused, and the waterproof performance is also better. In some examples, the cable 20 may be placed into a mold of the housing 12 for integral injection molding.

The NFC receiving coil may also receive an external control command, and the receiving circuit may control the electronic control mechanism 30 to allow or prevent the locking structure 14 from entering the second operating state from the first operating state after receiving the control command, for example, to control the motor 32 to rotate, so that the catch 362 moves between the sleeve 142 and the top edge 122 or moves between the sleeve 142 and the top edge 122.

In some examples, the wireless circuit 40 may further include a bluetooth antenna that may receive external bluetooth wireless signals and convert the bluetooth wireless signals into electrical energy, and a receiving circuit connected to the bluetooth antenna that is capable of storing and using the electrical energy, such as by using the electrical energy to drive the motor 32 of the electronic control mechanism 30 to rotate, etc. The bluetooth antenna may also receive an external control instruction, and the receiving circuit may control the electronic control mechanism 30 to allow or prevent the locking structure 14 from entering the second working state from the first working state after receiving the control instruction.

The energy storage unit 42 may be an energy storage capacitor, which is disposed in the housing 12. The electronic lock can be an electroless lock, i.e. the electronic lock has no battery inside, and the electric energy of the electronic lock is provided by external equipment. For example, electronic locks acquire wireless energy from external devices such as cell phones through wireless circuitry and convert the wireless energy into electrical energy to power electrical devices inside the electronic lock.

It will be appreciated that the electronic lock may also store a switch lock record. For example, a memory within the electronic lock may store time information and authorization device information that allows or prevents the locking structure from entering the second operating state from the first operating state, and the like.
