Abstract

The electronic lock components include a bracket and an electronic lock body. The bracket includes an extension disposed on a side edge of the bracket and perpendicular to the bracket. The electronic lock body includes: a back cover body, including a buckle disposed on a surface of the back cover body facing away from the bracket and adjacent to a side edge of the back cover body, and the buckle including a cantilever portion, and the cantilever portion including a stop portion and a hook coupled to and located beneath the stop portion; and a main cover body, including a pushing portion disposed on an inner surface of a sidewall of the main cover body and facing the stop portion.

a main cover body, including a pushing portion disposed on an inner surface of a sidewall of the main cover body and facing the stop portion, wherein when the pushing portion is pushed toward the stop portion, the stop portions moves, and the hook also moves to leave the portion of the lower edge of the extension.

2. The electronic lock components of claim 1 , wherein the stop portion extends in one direction, and the fixing portion extends in another direction opposite to the direction.

3. The electronic lock components of claim 1 , wherein an included angle between the fixing portion and the connection portion is about 90 degrees, and an included angle between the stop portion and the connection portion is about 90 degrees.

4. The electronic lock components of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of a portion of the sidewall of the main cover body adjacent to the pushing portion is smaller than a thickness of another portion of the sidewall of the main cover body away from the pushing portion.

5. The electronic lock components of claim 1 , wherein the bracket further includes a hook portion connected to the bracket, and the back cover body further includes a direction limiting piece separated from the buckle, and the direction limiting piece and the back cover body define a back opening and an upper opening, and the back opening is located on a surface of the back cover body facing the bracket, and the upper opening is close to a portion of the surface of the back cover body facing away from the bracket, wherein when the back cover body is leaned against the bracket and the back opening is aligned with the hook portion, the direction limiting piece covers the hook portion, and when the back cover body is then moved downward, the direction limiting piece is also moved downward, so that a portion of the hook portion is exposed from the upper opening, and another portion of the hook portion is in contact with an upper wall of the back opening.

6. The electronic lock components of claim 5 , wherein the portion of the hook portion is in contact with the portion of the surface of the back cover body facing away from the bracket.

7. The electronic lock components of claim 6 , wherein a shape of the portion of the hook portion is complementary to a shape of the portion of the surface of the back cover body facing away from the bracket.

8. The electronic lock components of claim 1 , further comprising:

a tail piece, through the bracket;

wherein the electronic lock body further includes a rotating shaft located in the main cover body, and the rotating shaft has an opening, and an open end of the opening faces downward, wherein when the back cover body is leaned against the bracket and then moved downward, the rotating shaft is also moved downward, so that a closed end of the opening engages with an end of the tail piece.

9. The electronic lock components of claim 8 , wherein when the back cover body is leaned against the bracket, the open end of the opening is able to accommodate a portion of the end of the tail piece.

10. The electronic lock components of claim 8 , wherein the back cover body further has a tail piece mounting hole through the back cover body, wherein when the back cover body is leaned against the bracket, the tail piece mounting hole is able to accommodate a portion of the end of the tail piece.

11. The electronic lock components of claim 10 , wherein the back cover body further has a shaft hole through the back cover body, and the shaft hole is located over and communicates with the tail piece mounting hole, and the rotating shaft is located in the shaft hole.

12. Electronic lock components, comprising:

a bracket, configured to be mounted on a door panel, the bracket comprising:

an extension, disposed on a side edge of the bracket and perpendicular to the bracket; and

an electronic lock body, configured to be assembled on the bracket or disassembled from the bracket, the electronic lock body comprising:

a back cover body, including a buckle disposed on a surface of the back cover body facing away from the bracket and adjacent to a side edge of the back cover body, and the buckle including a cantilever portion, and the cantilever portion including a stop portion and a hook coupled to and located beneath the stop portion, wherein when the back cover body is leaned against the bracket and then moved downward, the buckle is also moved downward, so that the stop portion and the hook abut an upper edge of the extension and a portion of a lower edge of the extension, respectively; and

a main cover body, including a pushing portion disposed on an inner surface of a sidewall of the main cover body and facing the stop portion, wherein when the pushing portion is pushed toward the stop portion, the stop portion moves, and the hook also moves to leave the portion of the lower edge of the extension,

wherein the bracket further includes a hook portion connected to the bracket, and the back cover body further includes a direction limiting piece separated from the buckle, and the direction limiting piece and the back cover body define a back opening and an upper opening, and the back opening is located on a surface of the back cover body facing the bracket, and the upper opening is close to a portion of the surface of the back cover body facing away from the bracket, wherein when the back cover body is leaned against the bracket and the back opening is aligned with the hook portion, the direction limiting piece covers the hook portion, and when the back cover body is then moved downward, the direction limiting piece is also moved downward, so that a portion of the hook portion is exposed from the upper opening, and another portion of the hook portion is in contact with an upper wall of the back opening.

13. The electronic lock components of claim 12 , wherein the portion of the hook portion is in contact with the portion of the surface of the back cover body facing away from the bracket.
