  • Patent number: 11885153
    Abstract: A door lock with an energy-saving device, comprising: an electromagnet assembly secured on the door frame, which has an electromagnet and a control circuit board, and an adsorption assembly secured on the door board, which has a positioning unit and an iron plate, a set of linkage sensing mechanism set on the electromagnet, and a set of clutch mechanism set on the adsorption assembly; Thereby, when close the door board into the door frame, the control circuit board supplies power to the electromagnet with the high current in the normal locking mode to attract iron plate, and then, the clutch mechanism drives the linkage sensing mechanism to act, triggering the control circuit board to supply power with low current in the power-saving lock mode to maintain the closed state of the door panel.

  • Patent number: 10113334
    Abstract: An electric strike lock has a strike body, a latch having a latch bolt and a deadlatch, a keeper having a stop block to abut against the deadlatch, and an adjusting section having an elliptical adjusting hole corresponding to a screw hole on the keeper and an adjusting piece fitting a shape of the elliptical adjusting hole and having an eccentric through hole for an adjusting screw to pass through and to be screwed to the screw hole. The keeper further combined with a solenoid which has a movable rod passing through the keeper and engaging the stop block, and the elliptical adjusting hole has its major axis arranged in the same direction as an axis of the solenoid. By changing the placement of the adjusting piece, the positions of the stop block and the deadlatch can be altered to adjust the strike lock into a fail-safe or a fail-secure strike lock.

  • Patent number: 9702167
    Abstract: An electric lock for doors has a housing with an opening, including a first catch and a second catch, an overlap formed by which enables the operation of the present invention. A blocking element connected to a driving device is displaced between an opening position and a closing position whereby the blocking element would stop the first catch from turning when being in the closing position, therefore controlling the turning of the second catch, rendering the opening a locked status and locking up the latch; when the blocking element is in the opening position, the blocking against the first catch would be eliminated, therefore turning the second catch together and rendering the opening an unlocked status, allowing the latch to be unlocked.

  • Patent number: 9208674
    Abstract: The invention relates to a security system with power saving feature and device comprises an electric magnet and a corresponding iron plate. The electric magnet is connected to a G-sensor module and the iron plate has a pressing face to contact with the G-sensor module. When the door is opened, the electric magnet does not supply power; when the door is closed, the electric magnet with electromagnetic attraction attracts the iron plate and the pressing face presses the G-sensor module. That is, the electromagnetic lock usually stays in a low-energy attraction state; however, when the G-sensor module is triggered, the electromagnetic lock returns to a normal lock state for achieving power saving effect and control of the external force detection improvement.

  • Publication number: 20110018680
    Abstract: A security system with power saving feature includes an electromagnetic lock and a sensing module. The electromagnetic lock is for receiving a limited supply of an electric power supplied by a power supply circuit before a full supply of the electric power is delivered to the electromagnetic lock. The sensing module may cause the full supply of the electric power upon sensing a specific action signal caused by an environment change. Therefore, the electromagnetic lock may operate in a lock state with only the limited supply of the electric power and still operate in the same lock state even after the generation of the triggering signal. Thus, the time during which the electromagnetic lock operates with the full supply of the electric power is minimized, limiting the total power consumption accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20080298687
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a human image recognition system capable of determining a next movement of a person approaching a particular region of space, which comprises a determination unit adapted to determine whether there is a moving object in continuous images taken by an image taking unit by analyzing the continuous images. If yes, the determination unit compares the moving object with contours of at least one admissible person stored in a memory so as to determine whether the moving object is a person recognized or is about to enter into or leave from a door of a building by analyzing the person's moving direction and changed positions, and then determine whether the person should be allowed to pass through or not.
