Working Principle of Smart Door Lock
The smart door lock consists of two parts: the solenoid valve and the lock body. The solenoid valve generates a strong electromagnetic force when the current passing through the solenoid coil, pushing the iron core ( plunger ) to move linearly, and pushing the lock tongue to the door frame to achieve the extension and retraction control of the smart lock . When the power is off, the magnetic force on the solenoid valve disappears, and the lock tongue will return to its original working position by the force of spring.
Due to different designs, electromagnetic door locks are also divided into two types, normally open and normally closed style.
The normally open electromagnetic lock, also known as the power-off unlocking electromagnetic lock, opens when the solenoid valve is powered on. When the solenoid valve is out of power, the lock body is closed.
The normally closed electromagnetic lock, also known as the power-off locking electromagnetic lock, closes when the solenoid valve is powered on. When the solenoid valve is out of power, the lock body is opened.
Both types can be implemented in practical applications and can be set according to actual needs.
- Working voltage: it usually works on DC12V or 24V DC, low power consumption design (current about 200-500mA).
- Action time: extremely fast response speed (<50ms), suitable for instant unlocking needs.
Design
The three-level conversion of electrical energy → magnetic energy → mechanical energy depends on the coordinated optimization of coil turns, current intensity and core material (such as soft magnetic alloy).
