Smart door-lock system with network control and latch mechanism
The patent US12026998B2 describes a sophisticated door-lock system designed to enhance security and user convenience. The system includes a door latch and a latch lock, which features a lock housing containing a latch-retainer shaft and a pivotable latch retainer. This latch retainer can transition between a restricted position, where it prevents the door latch from being removed, and an unrestricted position, allowing the door to open. The door-lock control system is integrated with a network, enabling it to engage or disengage the latch lock based on user inputs. Key components of the system include a solenoid assembly, a status sensor to monitor the latch retainer's position, and a controller that manages the solenoid's operation.
Additionally, the controller is equipped with a microprocessor and memory to store the latch lock's status, and it can receive user inputs from various devices, including mobile applications and keypads. The system also features an emergency-pin release for manual operation and an indicator light to signal the latch lock's status. The method outlined in the patent details the process of locking and unlocking the door, emphasizing the interaction between the latch and latch lock, as well as the communication with the control system to ensure proper operation. Overall, this door-lock system aims to provide a secure and user-friendly locking mechanism adaptable to modern technological interfaces.
