Description

Lockable lock that can detect lock status

This creation is about a technical field involving locks, especially a lock that can detect whether the lock is unlocked normally by installing a detection device and cooperating with a control device, and transmit the information to the user for identification.

In theory, the hanging lock is a commonly used lock, such as for locking the wheels of motorcycles, or for locking cabinet doors, container locks, etc., and has a wide range of uses. Some hanging locks have developed warning functions, such as the application of the new patent case No. 83213410 "Improvement of hanging lock with anti-theft warning device" <hereinafter referred to as: reference case>, which combines the hanging lock with modern electronic technology, so that when the hanging lock is locked, the warning device is in an alert state. Once the hanging lock is strongly vibrated, the warning device will make a sound to alert the user or the people around to scare the criminals.

However, there are some concerns about the structure of the reference case. For example, experienced thieves will use tools to destroy the warning device before destroying the lock, so that the warning device loses its sound function, and then destroy the lock to steal items or motorcycles and bicycles. In particular, some thieves will use a master key to insert and rotate the lock body of the lock to unlock the lock. However, users who are not next to the items (including motorcycles and bicycles) are unaware of the theft process, making it more difficult to trace afterwards. If there are no people around the theft, or it is a blind spot of the surveillance camera, even if the police are called, it will take a long time to trace.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide a lock that can detect the lock state. It mainly adds a detection device to the lock, and the user has a control device including a terminal. The user needs to send normal unlocking and locking messages to the detection device. The detection device receives the message and verifies it before controlling the detection electronic circuit of the detection device. When locked, it is an electrical connection, and when unlocked, it is an electrical disconnection. If the unlocking message does not pass the verification and match the terminal message, the detection device will be disconnected, and the user will know it, and the location of the lock will be known through GPS positioning, and the subsequent situation will be handled immediately.

The invention discloses a lock capable of detecting a locking state, comprising: a lock body, a latch body capable of reciprocating motion, and a lock hook for hanging the lock at a suitable place, wherein a space-shaped chamber is provided in one side of the lock body; a detection device installed in the chamber, comprising: a Bluetooth signal transmission unit, a verification unit, a GPS positioning unit, a battery, and a solar panel for supplying power to the battery; the solar panel is fixed to an outer side of the lock body, and the battery, the Bluetooth signal transmission unit, the verification unit, and the GPS positioning unit are all connected to the lock body. Electrically connected; a control device for sending and receiving information of the detection device, the control device is provided with a terminal equipped with an application, whereby the terminal receives and sends various information sent from the Bluetooth signal sending unit, and the GPS positioning unit provides information about the location of the lock, and can transmit it to a cloud for storage; thereby, the Bluetooth signal sending unit of the detection device receives and sends signals to the terminal of the control device, and the verification unit verifies whether the message sent by the Bluetooth signal sending unit matches the normal unlocking information of the user.

Therefore, this creation provides the following benefits:

This invention is to install a detection device in the lock body of the hanging lock. The detection device includes a Bluetooth signal transmission unit, a verification unit, a GPS positioning unit, a battery, and a solar panel that supplies power to the battery. The solar panel is fixed to the outer side of the lock body. The battery, the Bluetooth signal transmission unit, the verification unit, and the GPS positioning unit are all electrically connected. The control device is provided with a terminal equipped with an application. The terminal receives and sends various information about locking or unlocking sent by the Bluetooth signal transmission unit. The Bluetooth signal transmission unit is used to receive and send signals to the terminal of the control device, and after verification by the verification unit, the terminal receives and sends signals to the terminal of the control device. The message sent by the Bluetooth signal transmission unit is checked to see if it matches the normal unlocking information of the user. If the normal unlocking is not allowed, the electronic circuit formed by the detection device is broken, and a message representing abnormal unlocking is sent to the terminal. The GPS positioning unit is also used to provide information about the location of the lock. This allows the user to know at the first time whether the lock is in an abnormal unlocking state such as an accident or theft, and to deal with the subsequent situation immediately. In addition, because the GPS positioning unit is used to locate the lock, the user can track down the lock and its items in the fastest time, speed up the handling process, and enhance the intelligent anti-theft function of the lock.

The invention is a lock capable of detecting a locking state. Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 , which comprises a lock 10, a detection device 20 installed in the lock 10, and a control device 30 for receiving and transmitting information from the detection device 20. The lock 10 has a generally known structure comprising a lock body 11, a latch body 12, and a lock hook 13; the lock hook 13 comprises a first end 131, a second end 132, and a locking member 133. 32, the side surface of the end of the longer first end 131 is recessed with a lock groove 111, and is inserted into the recessed lock groove 18 on one side of the lock body 11 to press against the first spring 14 originally located at the bottom of the lock groove 18. The lock groove 111 is positioned horizontally at the position of the lock groove 18 by a pin 15 so that the lock hook 13 will not be separated from the lock body 11, and the second end 132 of the lock hook 13 has a slot 133 for locking with the lock body 11. The latch 16 is horizontally arranged inside the bolt body 11, and the other end of the latch 16 is horizontally pressed by a second spring 17. When the latch 16 is engaged with the slot 133, the upper locking state is formed. Therefore, when the hanging lock 10 is opened, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, a key (not shown in the figure) is inserted into the key hole of the bolt body 12, and the pin and the lock spring (not shown in the figure) inside the bolt body 12 are lifted to reach the thread cutting state, then The latch body 12 can rotate and press back the latch 16, so that the front end of the latch 16 is disengaged from the slot 133 of the hook 13, and the elastic force of the first spring 14 will push the hook 13 upward, so that the second end 132 moves upward and away from the lock body 11, and rotates sideways, so that the hanging lock 10 can be opened, as shown in FIG. 4; the detection device 20 is shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, when the lock body 11 of the hanging lock 10 is different from the first end of the hook 13 131, a space of a chamber 19 is provided for installing the detection device 20, the detection device 20 constitutes an electronic circuit for detecting the unlocking and unlocking of the hanging lock 10, which includes: a Bluetooth signal transmission unit 21, a verification unit 22, a GPS positioning unit 23, a battery 24, a solar panel 25; and the solar panel 25 is attached and fixed to an outer side surface of the lock body 11 The battery 24 is electrically connected to the solar panel 25 to provide power. The battery 24 is electrically connected to the Bluetooth signal transmission unit 21, the verification unit 22, and the GPS positioning unit 23. A USB charging port 26 can be provided at the bottom of the lock body 11 opposite to the battery 24. When the solar power supply is insufficient, a power cord can be plugged into the USB charging port 26 to charge the battery. The control device 30 is provided with a terminal 31 equipped with an application program for the user to input data and display the calculation results (such as a computer or a mobile phone). The terminal 31 is used to send and receive various information sent from the Bluetooth signal sending unit 21 of the detection device 20 and the information of the GPS positioning unit 23, and can be transmitted to a cloud for storage; thereby, the front The Bluetooth signal transmission unit 21 of the detection device 20 receives and transmits signals to the terminal 31 of the control device 30 through radio waves, and the verification unit 22 verifies whether the message sent by the Bluetooth signal transmission unit 21 matches the unlocking or locking information conditions of the user. The GPS positioning unit can provide information on the three-dimensional landmark location of the pendant 10.

Therefore, when the normal locking is implemented, the second end 132 of the lock hook 13 extends into the lock body 11, forming a slot 133 that is engaged with the latch 16, and the terminal 31 provides a locking encryption signal for the Bluetooth signal sending unit 21 to receive, and is verified by the verification unit 22 to check whether it matches. If the verification matches, a normal locking message is sent to the terminal 31, and the detection circuit of the detection device 20 generates an electrical path. Therefore, when the lock is in the locked state, the detection device 20 is in the state of electrical path;

Furthermore, if it is a normal unlocking, in the detection loop of the detection device 20, the Bluetooth signal sending unit 21 responsible for receiving the judgment signal receives an encrypted unlocking signal from the terminal 31, and verifies and checks whether it matches through the verification unit 22. If the verification matches, the verification unlocking signal is sent to the terminal 31 through the Bluetooth signal sending unit 21. In this way, the detection loop of the detection device 20 is detected and an electrical circuit is generated. Therefore, in the unlocking state, the detection device 20 is in an electrical circuit state;

On the contrary, in the case of accidental unlocking without the permission of the user, for example, when a thief damages the latch 12 and attempts to unlock the lock 13 from the lock 11, the Bluetooth signal transmission unit 21 responsible for receiving and judging the signal in the detection loop of the detection device 20 of the lock 10 does not receive the normal unlocking signal sent from the terminal 31. After identifying the signal as being sent by someone other than the user, the detection device 20 The detection loop pin generates an electrical disconnection, and the terminal 31 sends a warning message of unauthorized abnormal unlocking to the Bluetooth signal sending unit 21, and simultaneously activates the GPS positioning unit 23 to send the information of the three-dimensional landmark location of the pendant 10, so that the terminal 31 can capture the landmark location of the pendant 10, handle the subsequent damage of the pendant 10, and check whether there is a problem of lost items at the lock 10.

In summary, the overall concept disclosed in this creation is indeed industrially practical and innovative, and its structure has never been seen in books or publicly used. It truly meets the requirements for applying for a new patent. We sincerely request the Bureau to review it and grant the patent as soon as possible. We would be very grateful.
