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, preventing the removal of the door latch, and an unrestricted position, allowing the door to move freely. A door-lock control system, which communicates over a network, is integral to the operation, enabling users to engage or disengage the latch lock through various inputs, including mobile applications and keypad devices. The system also incorporates a solenoid assembly, a status sensor, and a controller that manages the solenoid's operation based on the latch retainer's position.
Additionally, the door-lock system is equipped with features that enhance its functionality and user interaction. The controller can receive signals from the status sensor to determine the latch retainer's position and can issue command signals to the solenoid assembly to facilitate the transition between locked and unlocked states. The system includes an emergency-pin release for manual operation and an indicator light to communicate the latch lock's status. The method outlined in the patent details the process of locking and unlocking the door, emphasizing the system's ability to sense and respond to user inputs while ensuring the latch's secure operation. Overall, this door-lock system represents a significant advancement in automated locking mechanisms, combining security with user-friendly technology.
