An adaptive electric dual-controlled intelligent lock includes a mechanical clutching structure and an intelligent electronic control structure. The mechanical clutching structure includes a lock head, a lock cylinder and a lock tongue, wherein: the lock cylinder includes movable buckles, springs and a bearing. After being inserted into the keyhole of the lock head and then into the locked groove, a key is turned, the movable buckles move in an elastic range of the springs and drive the lock tongue connected with the bearing to swing, thereby realizing a mechanical unlocking process. The intelligent electronic control structure includes a PCB (printed circuit board), a motor and a shifting lever, wherein: a wireless control module is connected with an external mobile intelligent device; after the motor is started, the shifting lever pushes the movable buckles, so that the bearing drives the lock tongue to swing, thereby achieving an intelligent unlocking process.

Lock systems are disclosed. The lock system may include a lock unit and a separate base station. The lock unit may include one or more components maintained in a powered-off and/or low-power standby state when not in use. The lock unit may include a sound receiver. The lock unit may activate power to one or more components unit after detecting a predetermined activation sound transmitted by a sound transmitter on the base station. The lock unit and base station may include wireless communicators to communicate signals and/or information between the lock unit and base station after the lock unit is powered on. To conserve power, a lock unit may power down after a predetermined action has been completed, communication of a power down signal, and/or after a predetermined time period has elapsed.

The present invention relates to a locking device 1 having a deadbolt 104 within a casing 102, which deadbolt 104 is movable between an advanced position wherein it protrudes from a front face of the casing 102 and a retreated position, wherein it is retracted into the casing 102. The locking device 1 comprises: a link plate 130 which moves the deadbolt 104 to the advanced position; a deadbolt blocking member 110 which is moveable between a blocking position blocking the deadbolt 104 in the advanced position and an unblocking position to allow the deadbolt 104 to move to the retreated position; an electrically driven actuator unit 120 which moves the deadbolt blocking member 110 between the blocking position and the unblocking position; and a control circuit configured to control the electrically driven actuator unit 120 so that once the deadbolt 104 is moved to the advanced position, the deadbolt blocking member 110 is moved to the blocking position by actuation of the electrically driven actuator unit 120.

A smart lock for securing a closure is provided. The smart lock comprises: a drive train for actuating a lock mechanism between an unlocked positon and a locked position; an actuator arranged to drive the drive train to actuate the lock mechanism; a position sensor arranged to output a location signal indicative of a position of the drive train; a manual actuator arranged to drive the drive train to actuate the lock mechanism; and a movement sensor arranged to output a movement signal in response to movement of the manual actuator. The movement sensor is arranged to draw less power than the position sensor. The smart lock further comprises a processor configured to: a. detect the movement signal; and b. monitor the location signal in response to the detection of the movement signal.

A door lock contains: a casing, a head, a first clutch element, a second clutch, a drive gear, a gear assembly, a guide rod, a locking column, and a holder. The casing includes a first connection part and a second connection part. The head includes a retainer, a first engagement portion, and a receiving orifice. The first clutch element includes a groove. The second clutch element includes a driving orifice, a limitation protrusion, and an abutting segment. The drive gear includes a defining trench. The gear assembly includes a driven gear, a motor, a transmission gear, a first meshing gear, and a second meshing gear. The guide rod includes a toothed section, a guiding stem, a tongue, and a resilient element. The locking column includes a cross section in a square shape. The holder includes an extending sheet, a fixing orifice, a fitting sleeve, and a first through orifice.

A merchandise security device is provided. The merchandise security device may include a lock mechanism operably engaged with a shape memory material configured to receive electrical power for locking and unlocking the lock mechanism. The shape memory material may be configured to change in shape in response to receiving electrical power to thereby lock or unlock the lock mechanism.

A protection and/or charging assembly includes a power apparatus, a protection housing, a charging apparatus and/or a locking assembly. The power apparatus provides electrical power to components of the protection and/or charging assembly. The protection housing houses one or more personal belongings and/or electronic devices. The charging apparatus receives power from the power apparatus and charges the one or more electronic devices. The locking assembly locks and/or unlocks the protection housing and allows the one or more personal belongings to be stored in an interior of the protection housing.

A smart lock for securing a door is provided comprising: an actuator configured to actuate a lock mechanism between a locked and an unlocked position; a housing attachable to a first side of the door, retaining the lock mechanism and the actuator; a receiver configured to wirelessly receive a signal to control operation of the actuator; a key mechanism engageable with the lock mechanism so as to actuate the lock mechanism, the key mechanism for receiving a tail piece of a key cylinder; a handle mechanism engageable with the lock mechanism so as to actuate the lock mechanism; and a handle arranged to control operation of the handle mechanism extending from the housing on the first side of the door. The key mechanism and the handle mechanism are disengageable from the lock mechanism.

A merchandise security device is provided. The merchandise security device may include a lock mechanism operably engaged with a shape memory material configured to receive electrical power for locking and unlocking the lock mechanism. The shape memory material may be configured to change in shape in response to receiving electrical power to thereby lock or unlock the lock mechanism.

The present invention provides a motorised door lock assembly 10 in order for a user to be able to lock and unlock a door remotely and/or with a conventional key or with a thumb turn 22 from the inside. In particular, a user may decide to continue to use a key from the outside and the thumb turn (or an internal key mechanism) from the inside but at any stage the user (or a different user) may decide to operate the lock remotely. The motorised system may be activated by a number of actuators and, in particular, the motorised system may be activated by a remote key fob, a smart phone, an internally mounted push button or an external key pad. The assembly of the present invention is able to provide a continuous choice of all three methods (where permitted) without the risk of the lock becoming stuck in one position and without the user having to perform an elaborate particular sequence to operate the lock. The present invention is particularly for use with a Euro cylinder lock combined with a multipoint locking system 14 which thereby has operating limitations. The remotely activated motorised mechanism comprises a motor 50, a worm gear 52, a driven gear 54, rotary locking spindle engagement means 30 to transmit movement of the motor 50 to a rotary locking spindle of the cylinder lock, and a remote control actuator, the remotely activated motorised mechanism further comprising a multipoint monitoring system to determine an operational status of the multipoint locking mechanism and a rotary lock bolt monitoring system to determine an operational status of the lock bolt; and wherein the rotary locking spindle engagement means is arranged to directly engage a component of a thumb turn mechanism of a door lock.
