TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of locks, in particular to
a transmission structure of a smart lock cylinder and a smart lock.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The transmission device (electric clutch device) of the existing electronic lock
is mostly realized by the motor and the transmission mechanism. In order to convert
the rotation action of the motor into the left-right movement action of unlocking,
a complex transmission mechanism is required to realize, and the time of the forward
and reverse rotation of the motor needs to be precisely controlled, otherwise the
transmission mechanism may be easily damaged. Since it is difficult to accurately
control the forward and reverse rotation time of the motor, if the screw drive is
adopted, it is easy to drive over position and form idling. In the prior art, there
are also some double spring electronic locks that can solve the above problems, such
as a motor drive device used in the electronic lock (the Chinese patent publication
No.
CN103790443B), the technical solution adopted is as follows: The forward and reverse motor is
fixed in the installation cavity of the motor housing. One end of the rotary tooth
shaft is fixedly connected with the output shaft of the forward and reverse motor
to achieve linkage. The outer diameter of the rotary tooth sleeve is smaller than
the diameter of the protruding opening of the motor housing, and the rotary tooth
sleeve is sleeved on the rotary tooth shaft through the through hole, so that the
first thread on the rotary tooth shaft and the second thread in the rotary tooth sleeve
engage with each other. The inner rotary tooth spring is sleeved on the rotary tooth
shaft, and both ends of the inner rotary tooth spring are located between the forward
and reverse motor and the rotary tooth sleeve. The outer rotary tooth spring is sleeved
on the rotary tooth sleeve, and both ends of the outer rotary tooth spring are located
between the rotary tooth sleeve and the inner wall of the motor housing. The inner
rotary tooth spring are compressed and reacts on the rotary tooth sleeve, so that
the second thread of the rotary tooth sleeve and the first thread on the rotary tooth
shaft are inversely engaged. Once the motor reverses, the rotary tooth sleeve immediately
extends outward through the thread transmission without idling. Similarly, when locking,
the outer rotary tooth spring are compressed and reacts on the rotary tooth sleeve,
so that the second thread of the rotary tooth sleeve and the first thread on the rotary
tooth shaft are inversely engaged. Once the motor reverses, the rotary tooth sleeve
immediately extends inward through the thread transmission without idling. Although
the technical solution solves the problem that the traditional screw and screw sleeve
are easy to form idle rotation by adding two springs, so that the electronic lock
does not need to accurately control the time of forward and reverse rotation of the
motor, it has the following technical problems:
- 1. Since the first thread and the second thread are always in reverse engagement,
no matter the motor is in forward or reverse, the rotary tooth shaft always drives
the rotary tooth sleeve to rotate together. However, when the rotary tooth sleeve
and other mechanisms in the lock are mechanically jamming, it will lead to problems
such as relative idling, engage failure between the first thread and the second thread,
and even damage and failure of the transmission device in serious cases.
- 2. The inner end face of the rotary tooth sleeve is provided with an annular flange
outwardly extended, the outer rotary tooth spring is sleeved on the rotary tooth sleeve,
and both ends of the outer rotary tooth spring are located between the annular flange
and the inner end face of the protruding opening of the motor housing. The processing
technology of this structure is complex, and the inner end face of the rotary tooth
sleeve extends outward with an annular flange, resulting in the size of the rotary
tooth sleeve becoming larger and unable to meet the requirements of small locks.
- 3. The specification of the patent mentioned above does not record any actual application
of the transmission device. For those skilled in the art, the transmission device
has a complex structure, especially the motor housing is connected by the upper housing
and the lower housing, and the transmission device cannot be widely used in all locks,
especially in electronic locks using a pin tumbler lock housing or a leaf lock housing.
[0003] Subsequently, the inventor disclosed a Chinese utility model patent with the publication
number of
CN209976212U for an electronic lock cylinder. The technical solution adopted is as follows: The
electronic lock cylinder includes an outer rotation key arranged on an outer rotation
shaft and a drive motor. The outer rotation key is provided with a transmission cavity,
the output shaft of the drive motor is connected with a worm reaching into the drive
cavity, and the worm is equipped with a nut that can be connected with its thread.
The worm is sleeved with a first return spring and a second return spring respectively
on both sides of the nut. The drive motor drives the nut to move axially in the worm
so that it can push the outer rotation key and the inner rotation key to engage or
separate with the elasticity of the first return spring or the second return spring,
and the structure is simple. The first return spring or the second return spring can
play a buffering role when the outer rotation key and the inter rotation key are mechanically
jammed, and prevent the relative idle and engage failure between the nut and the worm.
The design is ingenious and effectively improves the service life of the electric
clutch device. In addition, the first return spring and the second return spring promote
the engagement of the nut and the worm, and improve the working stability.
[0004] However, this structure is only applicable to the lock field, and two separate springs
are required for cooperative transmission. Therefore, the inventor wants to develop
a transmission structure with a wide range of applications, a simpler structure, a
higher transmission efficiency and a lower production cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0020] The present disclosure will be further described in detail below in combination with
the drawings and specific embodiments:
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, a transmission structure of an smart lock cylinder
includes a lock shell assembly 1, a cylinder cam 2 movably arranged in an open slot
in the middle of the lock shell assembly 1, and a first transmission shaft 3 installed
in the lock shell assembly 1 and located on one side of the cylinder cam 2. A first
transmission member 4 connected with the first transmission shaft 3 and a first electric
clutch device 5 driving the first transmission member 4 to connect or separate the
cylinder cam 2 are arranged in the first transmission shaft 3. One end of the first
transmission shaft 3 toward the cylinder cam 2 is provided with a transmission cavity
31 for accommodating the first transmission member 4, the first transmission shaft
3 is further provided with a driving cavity 32 for accommodating the first electric
clutch device 5 and communicating with the transmission cavity 31, and the other end
of the first transmission shaft 3 protrudes out of the lock shell assembly 1 for connecting
a handle or a first knob assembly 9. The first electric clutch device 5 includes a
drive motor 51, a worm 52 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor
51, a nut 53 fitted on the worm 52 and threadedly connected to the worm 52, and a
double-layer spring 54. The double-layer spring 54 includes an outer spring cylinder
541 and an inner spring cylinder 542 folded inside the outer spring cylinder 541 and
connected to the outer spring cylinder 541. One end of the outer spring cylinder 541
is fixedly connected to the first transmission member 4, one end of the inner spring
cylinder 542 is fixedly connected to the nut 53, and the other end of the outer spring
cylinder 541 is connected to the other end of the inner spring cylinder 542. When
the worm 52 drives the nut 53 to move toward the first transmission member 4, the
inner spring cylinder 542 is compressed, and the outer spring cylinder 541 pushes
the first transmission member 4 to connect with the cylinder cam 2 at the same time.
More specifically, when the nut 53 moves toward the first transmission member 4, the
inner spring cylinder 542 is stretched, the elastic potential energy generated by
the inner spring cylinder 542 in the opposite direction from the movement of the nut
53 is transmitted to the outer spring cylinder 541 at the same time. The outer spring
cylinder 541 generates the elastic potential energy in the same direction as the movement
of the nut 53 to force the first transmission member 4 to move toward the direction
of the cylinder cam 2 and link with the cylinder cam 2, such that when the handle
or the first knob assembly 9 is rotated, the first transmission shaft 3, the first
transmission member 4 and the cylinder cam 2 are moved in linkage.

4, the inner spring cylinder 542 is compressed, and the outer spring cylinder 541
pulls the first transmission member 4 to separate from the cylinder cam 2. More specifically,
when the nut 53 moves away from the first transmission member 4, the inner spring
cylinder 542 is compressed, and the elastic potential energy generated by the inner
spring cylinder 542 in the opposite direction from the movement of the nut 53 is transmitted
to the outer spring cylinder 541 at the same time. The outer spring cylinder 541 generates
the elastic potential energy in the same direction as the movement direction of the
nut 53 to pull the first transmission member 4 to move toward the opposite direction
from the cylinder cam 2 and separate from it, such that when the handle or the first
knob assembly 9 is rotated, the first transmission shaft 3 and the first transmission
member 4 move, but the cylinder cam 2 is not interlocked and doesn't move. The worm,
the nut and the double-layer spring are used to convert the kinetic energy of the
motor into elastic potential energy to promote the connection or separation of the
first transmission member and the cylinder cam, thereby simplifying the product structure
and reducing the production cost.

and provide a compact structure. The peripheral surface of the first transmission
shaft 3 is provided with a locking groove 33 communicating with the transmission cavity
31, and the peripheral surface of the first transmission member 4 is provided with

The insertion part 41 is provided on the locking block 43. The first electric clutch
device 5 further includes an encryption circuit 57 arranged in the first transmission
shaft 3 and electrically connected to the drive motor 51. The encryption circuit 57

cylinder 542 is compressed, and the elastic potential energy generated by the inner
spring cylinder 542 in the opposite direction from the movement of the nut 53 is transmitted

from the cylinder cam 2 and separate from it, such that when the handle or the first
knob assembly 9 is rotated, the first transmission shaft 3 and the first transmission
member 4 move, but the cylinder cam 2 is not interlocked and doesn't move. The worm,
the nut and the double-layer spring are used to convert the kinetic energy of the
