20220025675 · 2022-01-27 ·

An electric lock includes a housing, a clutch mechanism and a manual control member. The housing is formed with a driving structure having a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface and a bottom surface. The clutch mechanism includes a driving member having a pushing structure, an elastic member arranged on the driving member for abutting against the driving structure, a rotating member having a pushed structure, and a motor for driving the driving member to rotate. The manual control member is connected to the rotating member. When the motor drives the driving member to rotate relative to the driving structure, the elastic member abuts against the first or second inclined surface to push the driving member to move toward the rotating member, so as to allow the pushing structure to abut against the pushed structure, in order to further drive the rotating member to rotate the manual control member.

A LOCK UNIT

A clutch assembly of an electronic cabinet lock includes a cam, a camshaft, a gear disc, a sleeve, a snap ring, and a steel ball. The cam includes a sleeve ring at its inner end and a swing arm at its outer end. The camshaft is sleeved within the sleeve ring by clearance fit, and the sleeve ring is sleeved within the sleeve by clearance fit. The gear disc is sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve. The steel ball is mounted in a through groove of the side wall of the cam. The steel ball is located between the sleeve and the cam and is tangent to the camshaft. The camshaft is provided with a groove, and the groove allows the steel ball to fall in. The snap ring is engaged in an annular groove of the lower end of the camshaft for restricting the sleeve.

ELECTRIC LOCK BODY

An electric lock body is provided. The electric lock body includes a housing, a driving mechanism, and a bolt. The driving mechanism includes a motor, a planetary gear assembly, and a cage. The planetary gear assembly includes a ring gear, a planet gear, and a sun gear. The motor is rotatably connected to the sun gear. The planet gear is rotatably connected between the sun gear and the ring gear. The cage is disposed at one side of the planetary gear assembly. The ring gear and the sun gear each abut against the cage. The planet gear is connected to the cage. The bolt is connected to the cage. When the cage rotates, the bolt is driven by the cage to move, to make the bolt switch between an unlocked state where the bolt is accommodated in the housing and a locked state where the bolt extends beyond the housing.
