In a first aspect, there is provided a mechatronic lock system arranged for actuating a door lock operating member for locking and unlocking a door upon activation of said system comprising: an outside lock interface, comprising means for receiving a mechanical tool, arranged for operating said door lock operating member by a user of said lock system upon receiving said mechanical tool; an inner assembly, comprising: a wireless communication unit, arranged for wireless communication with a wireless communication device for authorizing said user; a control unit, in communicative connection with said wireless communication unit and arranged to activate said system for unlocking said door by activating a mechatronic clutch arranged for coupling said outside lock interface to said door lock operating member; wherein said mechatronic clutch is activated upon positive authorization of said user for opening said door by operating said outside lock interface.

An electronic door lock system includes a gasket system for protecting electrical and mechanical components from exterior water and air. A lock portion may include a gasket, a circuit board, and a plate disposed between a first and second housing. The gasket includes an L-shaped perimeter that wraps around a first side and perimeter edge of the circuit board. The plate compresses the gasket perimeter against a ridge on the first housing to form a seal around the circuit board.

Apparatus for unlocking and locking a lock (1′) enabling access to protected areas. The apparatus comprises a housing (5) with a housing interior (64). A rotational shaft (30) is in operative connection with the housing. A motor (10) extends in the housing interior (64), is in operative rotational connection with shaft (30) and is operative to rotate the shaft (30). A battery cell (9) extends in the housing interior (64) and is in partially surrounding relation of the motor (10). The battery cell is in operative electrical connection with the motor (10). In cross section, the battery cell (9) includes at least two points (34) and (36) such that a line segment (32) joining these two points passes through the motor (10).

A dead bolt lock system including a slider member operatively coupled to a dead bolt such that when the slider member is in a first position, the dead bolt is in an extended position. When the slider member is in a second position, the dead bolt is in the retracted position. The system also includes a first movable member positioned in a path of movement of the slider member and configured to be displaced by the slider member to allow the slider member to move to the second position. The system includes a first lock having a first condition preventing the displacement of the first movable member and a second condition allowing the displacement of the first movable member, a second lock having a first condition preventing the displacement of the first movable member and a second condition allowing the displacement of the first movable member.

The present invention relates to a door-lock device (100) for locking and unlocking a door of a household appliance, such as a washing machine, a dishwasher and the like, comprising a first (110) and a second (120) electrical connecting terminal, a closing switch (130) series connected to said first connecting terminal (110) or to said second connection terminal (120), and arranged to close when the door of said household appliance is closed, an actuator (140), connected to said first (110) and second (120) connecting terminals, comprising at least one coil (141, 142), suitable to generate a magnetic field capable of causing the locking and unlocking of said door, and a Hall sensor (151) connected between said first (110) and said second (120) terminal, arranged in parallel with said actuator (140), said Hall sensor (151) being arranged so as to detect said magnetic field of said actuator (140).

A lock mechanism is configured to be arranged on one of a first object and a second object movable relative to each other. The lock mechanism includes a driving device and a locking member. The locking member is configured to be driven by the driving device to move between a first position and a second position in a non-rotatable manner. When the locking member is located at the first position, the locking member is configured to lock the other one of the first object and the second object. When the locking member is located at the second position, the locking member is does not lock the other one of the first object and the second object.

An electronic cylinder lock has a main body. The main body is provided with a rotary cam. A first shaft is connected to the rotary cam. The first shaft has a first engaging portion. The main body is provided with a second shaft. The second shaft has a second engaging portion. A control lever is connected to the second shaft. A driving source is connected to the control lever. The driving source can drive the control lever to pull the second shaft to approach the first shaft, so that the second engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion, thereby improving the joint stability between the second engaging portion and the first engaging portion.

A smart lock for securing a door comprising: a housing mountable to the door; an actuator within the housing configured to actuate a lock mechanism between a locked position and an unlocked position, the lock mechanism including a latch bolt with an angled front face, the latch bolt configured to be retractable against a biasing force provided by a biasing means such that the door is closeable when the lock mechanism is in the locked position; and a receiver within the housing configured to wirelessly receive a signal to control operation of the actuator; a sensor mountable exclusively to the door so as to generate a signal indicative of the door beginning to move; a controller arranged to receive the signal indicative of the door beginning to move, the controller configured to control the actuator to actuate the lock mechanism in response to the signal indicative of the door beginning to move.

A locking mechanism is applicable to an intelligent cabinet system having a first object and a second object movable relative to each other. The second object is configured to be located at one of a retracted position, a predetermined extension position and an open position. The locking mechanism includes a locking member and a driving device. The driving device is configured to drive the locking member to move from a first predetermined position to a second predetermined position. When the second object is moved relative to the first object from the retracted position along a direction and when the locking member is located at the second predetermined position, the locking member is configured to block the second object at the predetermined extension position. The predetermined extension position is located between the retracted position and the open position.
