Patent number: 11286692Abstract: A door lock disposed on a door leaf includes a casing, a bolt member, a latch member, an auxiliary latch member and a transmission unit. When the door lock is in an open state, the bolt member is retracted into the casing and held by the transmission unit. During a closing operation of the door leaf, the latch member and the auxiliary latch member are successively pushed into the casing to actuate the transmission unit, so that the transmission unit releases the bolt member when the door leaf is closed, and that the bolt member automatically projects out of the casing to lock the door leaf.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: WFE TECHNOLOGY CORP.Inventor: Chih-Min Lien

Patent number: 10890019Abstract: A reversible electric door lock includes a clutch unit, a dead bolt unit and a handle unit. The clutch unit has an external driving member, two driving plates mounted at two sides of the external driving member, an internal driving member rotatably mounted in the external driving member, and a clutch pin movably disposed in the external driving member between an engaging position to allow synchronous rotation of the external and internal driving members, and a disengaged position to allow idle rotation of the internal driving member. The external driving member is rotated to actuate the dead bolt unit to switch to an unlatched position. The handle unit includes an internal operating handle coupled with one of the driving plates, and an external operating handle coupled with the internal driving member. The reversible electric door lock can be applied to left-hand and right-hand doors.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2017Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: WFE Technology Corp.Inventor: Chih-Min Lien

Publication number: 20190139343Abstract: An electronic lock system includes a server unit and an electronic lock device including a control module and a transmission module. The control module outputs a wakeup signal upon receipt of an input signal. The transmission module is to be awaken to an awaken state from a sleep state upon receipt of the wakeup signal, and outputs a confirm signal based on the input signal. The server unit receives a remote signal containing an unlock condition associated with the confirm signal, and outputs an unlock signal to the control module to cause the electronic lock device to operate in an unlock state upon receipt of the unlock signal when the unlock condition is satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2017Publication date: May 9, 2019Applicant: WFE TECHNOLOGY CORP.Inventor: Chih-Min LIEN
