  • Patent number: 12614423
    Abstract: Disclosed is a smart key in which an auxiliary key can be inserted and a method of manufacturing the smart key. The smart key for a vehicle comprises a substrate on which components are mounted; a key accommodation unit formed on the substrate, and a housing into which an auxiliary key is capable of being inserted and a plurality of protrusions arranged inside the housing such that the auxiliary key is sandwiched between the plurality of protrusions when the auxiliary key is inserted into the housing; and a case covering the substrate and the key accommodation unit, wherein the housing includes a through-hole configured such that a part of the housing adjacent to the through-hole is capable of flexibly displacing relative to the other parts of the housing to widen a vertical gap in the housing by an external force applied to the auxiliary key.

  • Patent number: 11569598
    Abstract: A smart key for a vehicle includes: a base part; a first terminal part coupled to the base part and which makes contact with a first electrode of a battery so as to be electrically connected to the battery; a second terminal part disposed facing the first terminal part to form an insertion part where the battery is inserted and which makes contact with a second electrode of the battery to be electrically connected to the battery; a separation prevention part which extends from the second terminal to the base part and which abuts the side surface of the battery to prevent the battery from separating from the insertion part; and a pressure applying part which is connected to the second terminal part so as to enable contact with the battery and which maintains contact between the battery and the separation prevention part by an elastic restoring force.
