Description

[0001] WIRELESS DIGITAL DOORLOCK DEVICE [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a digital door lock device, and more particularly, to a wireless digital door lock device in which a shielding film is formed so that a flow of air is blocked by a door lock and an outside air, and a separate signal line is not used.

Generally, electric wires (for example, internal connectors) are used in connection with internal communication in a door lock, that is, for communication between the inside and outside air. In the case of using the signal line in this way, there is an inconvenience that the user has to connect the connector directly, and there is a possibility that the pin may be bent at the time of wiring, resulting in failure and AS (after-service).

On the other hand, the cold air outside the door and the warm air inside the door meet through the passage where the signal line is connected between the inside air and the outside air, and condensation may occur, which can cause a fatal error of the digital door lock.

The inner ear includes a power supply unit, and a flexible cable connecting the power supply unit to the power transmission unit, wherein at least a part of the flexible cable can be wound in a spiral shape.

The outdoor unit includes a door lock input unit for sensing an input of a user and generating an input signal, and an infrared ray transmitter for converting the input signal into an infrared ray signal. The outdoor unit includes an infrared ray receiver for receiving the infrared ray signal and converting the infrared ray signal into an electric signal, And a circuit unit for processing the electrical signal.

The input signal may be a signal related to at least one of door lock registration, door lock pause, password setting, dual lock setting and release, and home mode selection.

The blocking portion may include a transparent material that transmits infrared light.

The blocking portion may comprise acrylic, glass or polycarbonate.

The digital door lock device may not include a line for transmitting electrical signals between the inside air and the outside air.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a digital door lock device comprising: an outside air chamber coupled to a door outside a door; An inner vessel coupled to the door at an inner side of the door; And a locking device which is respectively coupled with the outside air and the inside air between the outside air and the inside air.

The locking device includes a power transmitting part for transmitting a power line signal with power from the inside air to the outside air, and does not include a separate signal line or signal transmission path for transmitting a signal.

The outside air may include a second power line communication circuit for separating and receiving the power line signal transmitted together with the power from the power.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, only a locking device is required to transmit signals and electric power between the inside and outside air, and a separate line (e.g., a connector) is not used. Therefore, the self-installation can be facilitated without the help of a professional installer, and problems (cable crimping, pin contact failure, etc.) that may occur during installation of the line and failure occurring in the signal line can be prevented.

Further, since the signal and electric power are transmitted through the locking device and the separate line is not used, the passage between the indoor air and the outdoor air can be made small, and the flow of air between the indoor air and the outdoor air is blocked.

On the other hand, by winding at least a part of the flexible cable in a spiral form, the movement width of the flexible cable is reduced during rotation of the handle, thereby reducing the possibility of malfunction of the door lock device.

Hereinafter, a process of transmitting a signal and power from the inside air 100 to the outside air 200 of the digital door lock device 1 will be described.

When the user operates the door lock input unit 112, the door lock input unit 112 can generate the input signal IN according to the user's operation and transmit it to the circuit unit 114. [ The circuit unit 114 may output the input signal IN or a signal associated with the input signal IN to the infrared ray transmitting unit 142.

The infrared transmission unit 142 can convert the input signal IN into an infrared signal and output the infrared signal. The infrared signal can be transmitted to the infrared receiving unit 226 through the blocking unit 132, the optical transmission path 314, the blocking unit 232, the first optical transmission path 222 and the second optical transmission path 224 have.

The infrared receiver 226 can receive an infrared signal and convert it into an electric signal ES. According to the embodiment, in order to reduce the power consumed by the infrared receiver 226, power is not supplied to the infrared receiver 226 while the start button 240 is pressed in the standby state. For example, an external user may first press the start button 240 to allow power to be supplied to the infrared receiver 226, and then unlock it by pressing a password or the like. However, power is supplied when the authentication and internal locking device 116 and the home mode are set, so that the authentication and internal locking device 116 and the home mode setting signal can be received.

The circuit portion 228 can process the electric signal ES converted by the infrared receiver 226. [ The locking device 300 can be controlled according to the signal processing of the circuit portion 228. [ The circuit unit 228 may be implemented on a printed circuit board or may be implemented as a microcontroller unit (MCU).

The power supply 122 of the indoor unit 100 may be connected to the circuit unit 114 through the first flexible cable 118 to supply power to the circuit unit 114 and may be connected to the power supply unit 122 through the second flexible cable 136 It is possible to supply power to the outside air 200. The circuit unit 114 can supply electric power to the infrared ray transmitting unit 142. [

The first flexible cable 118 may be wound into a spring shape between the support 144 and the blocking part 132 located in the inner space 140 of the rubber packing part 130 and then connected to the circuit part 114.

The second flexible cable 136 may be coupled to the first coupling rod 134 and connected to the electrode 312 of the locking device 300.

The third flexible cable 236 may be connected between the electrode 312 and the circuit portion 228 of the locking device 300 and a portion of the third flexible cable 236 may be coupled to the second coupling bar 234 . For example, the third flexible cable 236 may be coupled to the second coupling rod 234 and connected to the electrode 312 of the locking device 300. The power supplied from the power supply device 122 is supplied to the second flexible cable 136, the electrode 312 and the third flexible cable 236 To the circuit portion 228 of the outside air 200. [ The circuit unit 228 can supply electric power to the infrared ray receiving unit 226. [

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a flexible cable is connected to the electrode 312 in the locking device 300 to transmit electric power, and the optical signal is transmitted through the optical transmission path 314 in the locking device 300. Therefore, since only the locking device 300 is required to be connected for signal and electric power transmission between the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200, and a separate line (for example, a connector) is not used, This makes it possible to prevent troubles (such as squeezing of cables) and troubles occurring in the signal line from occurring during installation of the line.

Since the signal and the electric power are transmitted through the locking device 300 and the separate line is not used, the passage between the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 can be made small. By using the blocking units 132 and 232, The flow of air between the outdoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit 200 is blocked, thereby preventing the condensation phenomenon.

On the other hand, the second flexible cable 136 and the third flexible cable 236 are provided in the zigzag form with a margin on the sides of the coupling rods 134 and 234 so that the second flexible cable 136 And the third flexible cable 236 are not twisted.

At least a part of the first flexible cable 118 is wound in the form of a spool in the spring winding portion 146 inside the blocking portion 132 so that the movement width of the first flexible cable 118 Can be reduced. Therefore, the first flexible cable 118 is not twisted during the rotation of the handle 120, thereby reducing the possibility of malfunction of the door lock device 1. [
