Optionally, the surface of the panel assembly 110 facing the side of the cover 120 may be provided with a peripheral groove 112, and the sealing ring 132 is limited in the peripheral groove 112.

The smart lock 100 may be integrally configured in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. Thus, the smart lock 100 has a length direction D1, a width direction D2, and a height direction D3 perpendicular to each other. The lid 120 has a lid end wall 121 disposed opposite to each other and extending in the height direction D3, and a lid side wall 122 disposed opposite to each other and extending in the height direction D3. The cover end wall 121 is connected to the cover side wall 122 to form a receiving space of the cover 120.

In the present invention, the panel assembly 110 may be detachably mounted to the cover 120 through a telescopic locking structure. The locking structure may include a catch 140, an elastic member 150, and a positioning member 160. The panel assembly 110 is provided with a mounting hole 113, and the inner side surface of the cover 120 is provided with a clamping portion 123. The lock 140 is movably disposed in the mounting hole 113 between a locking position (see fig. 3) where it is latched to the latch portion 123 and an unlocking position (not shown) where it is disengaged from the latch portion 123. The latches 140 in the locked position can extend out of the mounting holes 113, and the latches 140 in the unlocked position can retract into the mounting holes 113. That is, the latch 140 is retractable and is exposed when extended to engage the cover 120 and is hidden within the mounting hole 113 when retracted.

When the panel assembly 110 is moved towards the cover 120, the latch 140 extending from the mounting hole 113 is pressed by the cover 120 and can move towards the mounting hole 113, and the mounting action of the panel assembly 110 is smoothly mounted to the panel assembly 110 without being blocked by the latch 140; when the panel assembly 110 is located at the installation position, the latch 140 extends out of the installation hole 113 and is latched with the latching portion 123 on the cover 120, so that the panel assembly 110 is locked to the cover 120, and automatic locking of the panel assembly 110 is achieved.

A resilient member 150 can be disposed within the mounting hole 113 for biasing the latch 140 toward the latched position. Thereby, the panel assembly 110 can be securely and reliably locked to the cover 120, and the panel assembly 110 is maintained in the locked state even when the smart lock 100 as a whole is subjected to an external force such as a collision. The positioning member 160 can be mounted to the panel assembly 110 for retaining the catch 140 within the mounting hole 113. Therefore, the latch 140 can be mounted to the panel assembly 110 without being separated from the mounting hole 113, and the fixing structure of the latch 140 is simple.

The cover 120 may be provided with an opening 124, and the opening 124 corresponds to the position of the latch 140. At least a portion of the latch 140 is visible as viewed looking inwardly from the aperture 124. In other words, a projection of the aperture 124 onto a plane perpendicular to a centerline of the aperture 124 at least partially overlaps a projection of the catch 140 onto the plane. Therefore, the latch 140 can be pressed by an auxiliary tool through the opening 124, so that the latch 140 moves towards the mounting hole 113 to the unlocking position, and at this time, the panel assembly 110 can be easily separated from the cover 120, thereby opening the panel assembly 110.

The retractable locking structure described above may be provided at any suitable location on the panel assembly 110. For the intelligent lock 100 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the retractable locking structure is preferably adapted to be provided at the end of the panel assembly 110 in the length direction D1. In this embodiment, the opening 124 is provided in the lid end wall 121. The clamping portion 123 is disposed on the inner side of the cover end wall 121.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the mounting hole 113 is shaped to fit the shape of the latch 140. In the illustrated embodiment, the shackle 140 is configured in a flat shape, and correspondingly, the mounting hole 113 is configured as an elongated hole extending in the width direction D2 of the smart lock 100. The mounting hole 113 can receive the flat-shaped lock 140 and restrict movement of the lock 140 in the width direction D2 and the height direction D3. Therefore, the space occupied by the locking structure in the height direction D3 of the panel assembly 110 can be reduced, so that the size of the panel assembly 110 in the height direction D3 can be minimized, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the smart lock 100.

The protruding end of the locker 140 may be provided with a guide surface F1 facing the side of the cover 120. The guide surface F1 is inclined with respect to the center line of the opening 124. Specifically, the guide surface F1 can extend in the width direction D2 and be inclined in the height direction D3. Referring to fig. 4, when the panel assembly 110 is not mounted to the cover 120, the guide surface F1 can be exposed. When the panel assembly 110 moves toward the cover 120, the guide surface F1 of the latch 140 first contacts the cover 120, and the latch 140 is gradually retracted into the mounting hole 113 under the guide of the guide surface F1. Therefore, the self-locking action of the panel assembly 110 can be more stable, and the damage to the lock catch 140 is less, so that the service life of the intelligent lock 100 is prolonged.

The elastic member 150 may be a spring. The latch 140 is provided with a mounting post 142, and the mounting hole 113 has an abutment wall 114 intersecting with the hole depth direction of the mounting hole 113. One end of the spring is sleeved on the mounting post 142, and the other end is abutted to the abutting wall 114.

The positioning member 160 further includes a fixing portion 161 and a rod portion 162, and the fixing portion 161 can be connected to the rod portion 162. The fixing portion 161 is used for fixing the positioning member 160 to the panel assembly 110. The lever 162 serves to limit the movement of the latch 140. Specifically, the latch 140 may be provided with a positioning hole 141. The positioning hole 141 is an elongated hole, specifically, an elongated hole extending in the length direction D1 of the smart lock 100. The rod portion 162 can be positioned within the positioning hole 141 to limit the movement of the latch 140.

The panel assembly 110 may also be provided with fixing holes 115 and stopper holes 117. The fixing hole 115 communicates with the mounting hole 113 and is located at one side of the mounting hole 113, and the stopper hole 117 communicates with the mounting hole 113 and is located at the other side of the mounting hole 113 opposite to the one side. The center line of the stopper hole 117 is collinear with the center line of the mounting hole 113. The rod portion 162 may extend to the stopper hole 117 via the fixing hole 115 and the positioning hole 141. That is, the rod portion 162 can be restricted by the fixing hole 115 and the restricting hole 117 at the same time, whereby the mounting stability of the rod portion 162 can be improved, and the rod portion 162 can maintain a stable state when the locker 140 is moved to collide with the rod portion 162.

The surface of the panel assembly 110 facing the side of the cover 120 may be provided with a groove 116. In other words, the panel assembly 110 is provided with the groove 116 recessed from the surface facing the side of the cover 120. The fixing portion 161 can be fixed in the recess 116. Therefore, on one hand, the groove 116 can limit the movement of the positioning piece 160 in the length direction and the width direction, and glue distribution is convenient; on the other hand, the overall size of the panel assembly 110 in the height direction D3 can be reduced, so that the smart lock 100 can be miniaturized. In this embodiment, the fixing hole 115 is located on a surface of the groove 116 intersecting with the groove depth direction.

The fixing portion 161 may be configured in a plate shape. The shape of the recess 116 is adapted to the shape of the fixing portion 161. Therefore, the contact area between the positioning member 160 and the panel assembly 110 can be increased, which is beneficial to glue distribution, and the overall size of the panel assembly 110 in the height direction D3 can be further reduced.

In order to prevent liquid such as water, which enters the mounting hole 113 from the opening hole 124 of the cover 120, from entering the inside of the panel assembly 110, a waterproof adhesive layer 170 may be disposed between the fixing portion 161 and the recess 116. The waterproof adhesive layer 170 is shaped like a sheet. Before the positioning member 160 is installed, waterproof glue may be first coated on the bottom surface of the groove 116, and then the positioning member 160 is placed in the groove 116, and the waterproof glue is cured to form the sheet-shaped waterproof glue layer 170. By means of the waterproof glue layer 170, not only the fixing portion 161 can be adhered to the panel assembly 110, but also the liquid inside the mounting hole 113 can be prevented from entering the inside of the panel assembly 110 from the fitting gap between the portion of the positioning member 160 including the fixing portion 161 and the panel assembly 110, which prevents the battery inside the panel assembly 110 from being short-circuited or damaged. Since the stability of the positioning member 160 is improved by the limitation of the limiting hole 117 at the end of the rod portion 162, the separation of the waterproof adhesive layer 170 at the fixing portion 161 can be avoided, and the waterproof effect can be improved.

In the illustrated embodiment, the limiting hole 117 may be a through hole. The end of the rod 162 can pass through the stopper hole 117. And waterproof glue is arranged between the piercing side and the limiting hole 117. A waterproof glue may be disposed around the stem 162. The waterproof glue can be disposed between the end of the rod portion 162 and the limiting hole 117 by means of dispensing, so that not only the rod portion 162 can be fixed, but also, most importantly, the liquid in the mounting hole 113 can be prevented from entering the inside of the panel assembly 110 from the assembly gap between the end of the positioning member 160 and the panel assembly 110, namely, the gap between the end of the rod portion 162 and the hole wall of the limiting hole 117, and therefore, the battery inside the panel assembly 110 is prevented from being short-circuited or damaged.

The utility model provides a locking structure has dual waterproof function, has improved water-proof effects greatly.

In an embodiment not shown, the limiting aperture 117 may be a blind aperture. The end of the stem portion 162 is positioned within the retaining hole 117 but does not pass out. The blind hole arrangement also prevents liquid in the mounting hole 113 from entering the interior of the panel assembly 110 from the end of the positioning member 160.

As shown in fig. 2, the fixing portion 161 may be provided with at least one stopper post 163 spaced apart from the rod portion 162. The bottom surface of the recess 116 may be provided with a receiving hole 118, and the stopper post 163 can be located within the receiving hole 118. The receiving hole 118 is a blind hole. Through setting up spacing post 163, can restrict the removal of fixed part 161 on length direction and width direction, avoid the waterproof glue film 170 of fixed part 161 department to open to glue, influence water-proof effects.

The installation of the panel assembly 110 is described below in conjunction with fig. 4 and 5.

In fact, for the illustrated embodiment, one end of the panel assembly 110 along the length direction D1 of the smart lock 100 is provided with a snap structure, and the other end opposite to the one end is provided with the retractable locking structure. When the panel assembly 110 is mounted to the cover 120, the end of the panel assembly 110 provided with the clamping structure can be firstly clamped to the cover 120, and the panel assembly 110 is inclined relative to the cover 120. Then, the end of the panel assembly 110 where the locking structure is disposed is moved toward the cover 120, the latches 140 protrude from the mounting holes 113 when not covered by the cover 120, and the latches 140 protrude from the end surface F2 of the panel assembly 110. As the panel assembly 110 moves, the latch 140 is covered by the cover 120 and is latched to the latch portion 123 of the cover 120. Finally, as shown in fig. 5, the panel assembly 110 is mounted to the cover 120, and the locking structure is covered and hidden by the cover 120.

The cross-sectional area of the aperture 124 can be less than the area of the surface of the latch 140 facing the aperture 124. The size of the opening 124 is small, so that the occupied area of the opening 124 on the cover 120 can be reduced, and the outside of the cover 120 is neat and compact. As shown in fig. 5, the shape of the opening 124 may be circular, but of course, the shape of the opening 124 is not limited and may be other suitable shapes such as square.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the locker 140 may be provided with a locker projection 143 projected away from the side where the cover 120 is located. Correspondingly, the catching portion 123 may be provided with a recessed surface 125. The latch protrusion 143 is located within the recessed surface 125 and abuts against the recessed surface 125. The shape of the recessed surface 125 is adapted to the shape of the locking protrusion 143. Specifically, the latch protrusion 143 may have an arc-shaped surface, and the concave surface 125 may have an arc shape. At least a portion of the latch projection 143 is visible as viewed looking inwardly from the aperture 124. In other words, a projection of the latch projection 143 in a plane perpendicular to the centerline of the aperture 124 is at least partially within a projection of the aperture 124 in the plane. The latch protrusion 143 can increase the contact area between the auxiliary tool and the latch 140, which is beneficial to pushing the latch 140 inward, and is convenient for the user to detach the panel assembly 110 by using the auxiliary tool. Referring back to fig. 3, the surface of the mounting hole 113 on the side away from the cover 120 may be provided with a receiving recess 119 extending in a direction parallel to the center line of the mounting hole 113. The latch projection 143 is received in the receiving recess 119.

For the embodiment in which the latch 140 is configured in a flat shape, providing the latch protrusion 143 is advantageous because the thickness of the latch 140 can be appropriately reduced, so that the space occupied by the locking structure in the height direction D3 of the panel assembly 110 can be further reduced, which is advantageous for the miniaturization of the smart lock 100.

As shown in fig. 7, the catching portion 123 may include a catching boss 126 protruded from an inner side surface of the cover body 120 and a catching recess 127 recessed from the inner side surface of the cover body 120. The snap recess 127 is located on the side of the aperture 124 of the snap boss 126. The panel assembly 110 is provided with a recess area a. The mounting hole 113 is located in the recessed area a. The snap boss 126 can be received in the recessed area a. The shape of the clamping boss 126 is matched with that of the recessed area A. For example, the snap boss 126 is generally U-shaped as a whole, and correspondingly, the outer contour of the recessed area a is also generally U-shaped. Referring back to fig. 3, the snap recess 127 can receive a portion of the protruding end of the catch 140. The protruding end of the latch 140 can abut the snap boss 126. Recessed surface 125 is located on the surface of snap boss 126 adjacent to aperture 124.

In the embodiment of the clamping boss 126, the contact area between the clamping portion 123 and the lock catch 140 can be increased, meanwhile, the thickness of the cover body 120 is small, miniaturization and light weight of the intelligent lock 100 are facilitated, in the embodiment of the clamping recess 127, movement of the lock catch 140 located at the locking position can be limited, the locking effect is good, the panel assembly 110 cannot be opened accidentally, and the safety of the intelligent lock 100 is improved.

To sum up, the intelligent lock 100 provided by the utility model has a telescopic locking structure, so that the operations of installing and opening the panel assembly 110 are simple and easy to be carried out, the efficiency is high, the phenomena of part loss and damage do not exist, the material cost is reduced, and the service life and the user experience of the product are improved; the locking effect is good, the panel assembly 110 cannot be opened accidentally, and the safety of the intelligent lock 100 is improved; moreover, the locking structure can be hidden in the cover body 120 and not exposed, and the exterior of the intelligent lock 100 is neat and simple, so that the visual experience of consumers is improved.
