  • Publication number: 20240185655
    Abstract: An electric lock includes an input unit, a main controller electrically connected to the input unit, a driving module, a motor connected to the driving module, and a motor controller independent of the main controller and storing control parameters of the motor. The main controller includes a processing unit configured to control the input unit to receive a user input. When the main controller receives the user input and determines that the motor controller is in a sleep mode, the main controller transmits a wake-up signal to the motor controller for waking up the motor controller. When the motor controller is woken up, the main controller transmits a control signal to the motor controller, and the motor controller controls the motor to drive the driving module to drive a predetermined mechanism of the electric lock to move according to the control signal and the control parameters of the motor.
