A door lock that can use the power of the mobile device as a source of electricity

The present invention relates to a door lock that can be used as a power source for a power source of a mobile device, and more particularly to a door lock that uses an electric drive to set a door lock to an unlocked state or a locked state.

With the advancement of technology, traditional mechanical door locks that are fully man-operated are gradually being replaced by electronic door locks that use electricity or electric power and human power. This electronic door lock can input passwords, capture biometrics, or Receive the key. . . The unlocking program is executed in an equal manner, and the electronic door lock determines whether the unlocking program is to be executed by recognizing the received password, biometric or key, and the electronic door lock further drives the internal mechanism by using a driving device such as a motor or a solenoid valve. The door lock can be set to a locked state or an unlocked state.

The electronic door lock can be operated regardless of whether the password is input, the biometric feature or the receiving key, and the motor or the solenoid valve are required to operate. The power source of the electronic door lock can be divided into two categories. The first mode is direct electricity. Connected to the power supply end of the building, the second way is to install the battery in the electronic door lock. The first way is that there is no need to worry about the power exhaustion, but there is still no electronic door lock when the power is off. Operation and installation are more troublesome, so the current electronic door locks on the market usually supply electricity by installing batteries. However, the second method will encounter the problem that the battery power is exhausted and the electronic door lock cannot be operated. .

To solve this problem, the present invention provides a door lock that can use the power source of the mobile device as a power source, including a door lock that can use the power of the mobile device as a power source, and the door lock is adapted to keep the door from being closed when the door is closed. The opening device includes a latching device that can be set to an unlocked state or a locked state, and an inner operating device that is coupled with the latching device. The inner operating device includes a control module and is electrically connected to the control module and supplies power thereto. The first battery module is operated by the door lock. The inner operating device further includes a detecting module electrically connected between the first battery module and the control module, and the detecting module detects the first battery module. The remaining power is higher or lower than a preset alert value, and an outer operating device coupled with the latch device, the outer operating device includes a first electrical connecting device electrically connected to the detecting module and the control module An unlocking information input module electrically connected, the first electrical connection device being adapted to optionally be coupled to a second device included in a mobile device having a screen Connection means electrically connected.

In the case where the latch device is set to the unlocked state, the inner and outer operating devices can drive the latch device to open the door, and in the case where the latch device is set to the locked state, the outer operating device cannot drive the latch device to open the door. When the detecting module detects that the remaining battery capacity of the first battery module is higher than a preset warning value, the first battery module supplies power to the door lock operation, and the detecting module detects the first battery module. When the remaining power is lower than the preset alert value and the second electrical connection device of the mobile device is electrically connected to the first electrical connection device, the second battery module of the mobile device supplies power to the door lock operation.

The door lock can directly or indirectly supply the power required for the door lock operation using the second battery module of the mobile device in a state where the power of the first battery module is lowered below the warning value or there is no power at all.

This creation will be more clearly understood in the detailed description of the illustrative embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings of the first embodiment of the present invention, the door lock 10 of the present invention is mounted on a door, the door lock 10 includes a latch device 20, and the latch device 20 includes an upper portion.

The inner unlatching mechanism 36 of the inner operating device 34 interlocks the latch 26 from the upper latching position to the unlatching position, so that even if the latching device 20 is set to the locked state, it can be directly taken out from the inner side of the door to the outer side.

To enter from the outside to the inside of the door 66, the unlocking information input module 28B composed of the numeric keypad lock on the outer operating device 28 is used to input the unlocking password, and the control module 38 compares the input unlocking password with the main memory. If the authenticated password in the body 40 is coincident, the outer latching mechanism 30 of the outer operating device 28 can be used to interlock the latch 26 from the upper latching position to the unlatching position, and the door can be further opened and unlatched on the outer side of the operating outer operating device 28. After the mechanism 30 interlocks the latch 26 from the upper latch position to the unlatching position and the door is closed again, the control module 38 outputs a lock signal to the driving device 24, and the driving device 24 interlocks the locking mechanism 22 to set the latch device 20 to be locked. In this state, the outer unlatching mechanism 30 of the outer operating device 28 can no longer interlock the latch 26 from the upper latching position to the unlatching position.

Further, after the latch device 20 is set to the unlocked state, the delay module 43 starts the countdown delay time regardless of whether or not the outer unlatching mechanism 30 of the outer operating device 28 is operated to interlock the latch 26 from the upper latch position to the unlatched position. Before the end of the delay time, the latch device 20 remains in the unlocked state. After the end of the delay time, the control module 38 outputs a lock signal to the driving device 24, and the driving device 24 controls the locking mechanism 22 to operate to cause the latch device. 20 is set to the locked state, so if the operating latch 26 is not displaced from the upper latching position to the unlatching position after the end of the re-delay time, the latching device 20 will still be set to the locked state.

To open the door 66 from the inner side 72 of the door 66, since the operation of the inner release mechanism 36 is not limited by the locking mechanism 22, the door 66 can be directly accessed by the door 66 regardless of whether the latch device 20 is set to the locked or unlocked state. The inner side operation inner release mechanism 36 interlocks the latch 26 from the upper latch position to the unlatching position to open the door 66.

It is assumed that if the detecting module 34A detects that the remaining battery capacity of the first battery module 42 is lower than the warning value, the control module 38 drives the prompting device 28C to generate a warning signal whose power is lower than the warning value, if the prompting device 28C When the buzzer is selected, the prompting device 28C generates an audible sound as a prompt signal. If the prompting device 28C selects the illuminating device, the prompting device 28C generates a light (for example, a flashing red light source) as a prompt signal. In this state, although the first The battery module 42 can still supply power to the inner operating device 34, the outer operating device 28, and the driving device 24, and the user can further use the mobile device 50 (such as a smart phone). The second electrical connection device 53 (for example, a micro usb jack of the smart phone) is electrically connected to the first electrical connection device 28A of the outer operating device 28, and the power of the second battery module 54 of the mobile device 50 is further supplied to the inner operating device 34. , the outer operating device 28 and the driving device 4 using the operation, the operation means 34 and the inside, the outside operating device 28 and a driving device 24 does not use the power door lock module 42 of the first battery 10 is still operating.

It is worth mentioning that even in the case where the first battery module 42 is completely de-energized, the second electrical connection device 53 of the mobile device 50 is electrically connected to the first electrical connection device 28A of the external operation device 28, the action The second battery module 54 of the device 50 provides the power required for the inner operating device 34, the outer operating device 28, and the driving device 24 to operate, so that the door lock 10 can be temporarily disabled when the first battery module 42 has no power.
