Patent number: 12146341Abstract: An electronic lock device includes a lock mechanism, an actuation mechanism that actuates the lock mechanism, and a control unit including a processor and a current detection module. During an operation in which the actuation mechanism is activated to start switching the lock mechanism from an original state to an intended state, the current detection module continuously detects an amount of electric current flowing through the actuation mechanism. When the amount of electric current is greater than a predetermined threshold, the processor controls the actuation mechanism to switch the lock mechanism back to the original state, and deactivates the actuation mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: TONG LUNG METAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Pai-Hsiang Chuang, Yu Lin, Chun-Yi Fang, Ding-Sian Cai, Chen-Ming Lin, Ruei-Jie Jeng

Patent number: 11441330Abstract: An electronic lock includes an input apparatus. The input apparatus includes a keypad module and a processor module. The keypad module includes plural button devices arranged in plural rows and in plural columns. The processor module includes a signal-processing unit configured to, when operating in a work mode, repeatedly perform an emission process of inputting a detection signal to each column of button devices, and repeatedly perform a scan process to detect, for each row of button devices, the detection signal outputted from any row of button devices. The detection signal includes a pulse wave composed of plural pulses. The signal-processing unit is further configured to generate and output an input signal corresponding to one of the button devices when detecting the detection signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Tong Lung Metal Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ruei-Jie Jeng, Chih-Han Wu, Chen-Ming Lin, Chun-Yi Fang

Patent number: 11145149Abstract: An electronic lock includes an electric locking unit, a touch panel, and a control module. The control module stores a plurality of touch condition sets which are related to human contact. The control module executes an input scan operation on each touch switch of the touch panel, charges a self capacitor with a scan signal, and charges a mutual capacitor with a driving signal. The control module determines whether an electric change conforms with any one of the touch conditions. Through a structural design of the touch panel and a scan function design of the control module, the electronic lock can more accurately determine whether the touch panel is operated by human touch and can also normally operate in a humid environment.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: TONG LUNG METAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Ruei-Jie Jeng, Chun-Yi Fang, Chen-Ming Lin, Chih-Han Wu
