DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

In order to fully understand the implementation of the present disclosure, please refer this specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. As shown inFIG.1toFIG.13, the present disclosure is a lock device with double-unlocking mode comprising a lock box1, a lock cover set2, a fingerprint unlocking module6, and a coded wheel lock set7.

The lock box1comprises a box11and a front cover12, the box11is mutually pivoted to the front cover12. The box11has a receiving space114. The box11has a lock groove111.

The lock cover set2is disposed at the front cover12, and the lock cover set2comprises an active bolt21. When the lock cover set2is in a locking state, the active bolt21is inserted in the lock groove111. When the lock cover set2is in an unlocking state, the active bolt21is separated from the lock groove111.

The fingerprint unlocking module6is disposed at the front cover12, and the fingerprint unlocking module6comprises a master unit61electrically connected with a power62, a charging hole63, an electric unlocking component64, and a fingerprint sensor65.

The master unit61controls the electric unlocking component64to lock, or the master unit61controls the electric unlocking component64to unlock in accordance with sensing results of the fingerprint sensor65.

The coded wheel lock set7is disposed at the front cover12. When a code of the coded wheel lock set7is set correctly, the lock cover set2is able to be manually operated to unlock.

Followed by the content mentioned above, the implementation of the present disclosure is further illustrated in detail. The drawing of the present disclosure is the form with two active bolts21as an example, an amount of the elements associated with the active bolts21will be two, for example, the lock groove111etc.

Various embodiments for locking and unlocking associated with the lock cover set2of the present disclosure is illustrated in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. As shown inFIG.3,FIG.5, andFIG.5A, first of all the lock cover set2further comprises a frame22and a linking member3. The lock cover set2is disposed at the front cover12by the frame22. The frame22comprises a sliding space221and a sliding rail222communicated with each other. The linking member3is movable in the sliding space221. The active bolt21is slidably disposed in the sliding space221.

Wherein the linking member3has a guiding groove34which has a guiding incline wall surface35. The active bolt21comprises a guide projection211which is inserted into the guiding groove34, and the guide projection211abuts against the guiding incline wall surface35. Thus, the guide projection211will be guided by the guiding incline wall surface35when the linking member3shifts, so that the active bolt21shifts.

As shown inFIG.6andFIG.6A, for example, the linking member3shifts downward so that the active bolt21indents and separates from the lock groove111, therefore an unlocking action is completed. A shift direction when above element shifts is presented by an arrow of each drawing.

The content that how a user shifts the linking member3to achieve an unlocking purpose is further described in detail. As shown inFIG.3,FIG.4andFIG.7, an implementation of manual unlocking is introduced in first, wherein the lock cover set2further comprises a manual unlocking component5, two opposite ends of the linking member3are a manual end31and an electric end32respectively. The manual unlocking component5abuts against manual end31, the manual unlocking component5is partially corresponding to the coded wheel lock set7.

In the locking state presented asFIG.7, in this drawing a rotation wheel72is located at a position where the code is error, therefore a protrusion portion of an actuation member73will abut against a rocker71, so that a shift path of the manual unlocking component5is blocked by the rocker71. While a sufficient shift amount, which causes the active bolt21to separate from the lock groove111, generated by the linking member3is not achieved by operating the manual unlocking component5.

When the user operates the rotation wheel72, as shown inFIG.8, in the condition that a rotated position is corresponding to a correct code position, the actuation member73is driven to rotate (the rotation wheel72and the actuation member73are engaged with each other) such that a hollow portion is corresponding to the rocker71. The rocker71offsets forward a direction of the rotation wheel72instead of blocking the shift path of the manual unlocking component5. Therefore, shift of the manual unlocking component5is able to be operated by the user for driving the linking member3to shift, such that the active bolt21separates from the lock groove111.

Then the implementation for electric unlocking is introduced, as shown inFIG.2,FIG.9, andFIG.13, wherein the lock cover set2further comprises a thumb piece4. Two opposite ends of the linking member3are the manual end31and the electric end32, respectively. The linking member3has a protrusion stage33at the electric end32. The thumb piece4abuts against the protrusion stage33. The electric unlocking component64comprises a motor641and a block642. The motor641is joined to the block642by a shaft643.

The block642comprises a shaft coupling portion6421and a line-shaped protrusion portion6422.

The state shown inFIG.9is locking state, all elements associated with the fingerprint unlocking module6do not limit the shift of the linking member3.

Even though the fingerprint unlocking module6is locked, the manual unlocking form is not affected. When the code sensed by the fingerprint sensor65is correct, the master unit61will control the motor641of the electric unlocking component64to rotate. When the motor641rotates, the block642is driven to rotate by the shaft643. The thumb piece4is poked to shift by the line-shaped protrusion portion6422when the block642rotates, as shown inFIG.10. And then, when the thumb piece4shifts, the linking member3shifts conjointly until shift of the linking member3drives the active bolt21to separate from the lock groove111. The manual unlocking component5is not connected with the linking member3so that shift of the linking member3driven by the thumb piece4is not affected, even the coded wheel lock set7is locked.

In order to summery the content as mentioned above, it is understood that the coded wheel lock set7for manual locking and manual unlocking and the fingerprint unlocking module6for electric unlocking are configured in the present disclosure respectively, and both of the two said unlocking modes are able to complete the unlocking action independently. It means that even though the power is out or failed in the present disclosure so that unlocking operation is not performed by the fingerprint unlocking module6, the unlocking operation is completed in a manual operation of the manual unlocking component5manner after operating the coded wheel lock set7immediately. Indeed, the present disclosure improves the issue that the current electronic lock is not able to be unlocked immediately by normal means in a power failure case, therefore the present disclosure is novelty and non-obviousness.

Furthermore, an implementation associated with how to release the lock shackle112after unlocking is introduced by the present disclosure. Wherein the lock box1is provided with a lock shackle112and an unlocking deflector rod113, the unlocking deflector rod113is partially exposed by the box. After the user unlock the present disclosure, the front cover is opened as shown inFIG.2. The user may operate the unlocking deflector rod113as the manner presented byFIG.11andFIG.12, such that the lock shackle112is locked or unlocked.
