Abstract

An electronic frame lock includes an electronic lock and an electronic key. The electronic lock is formed of a controller, a motor, and an insertion pin. The motor receives a control signal from the controller, so as to pull or push the insertion pin to bring about the unlocking or locking effect. The electronic key transmits a signal to the controller of the electronic lock. As the signal is compared and verified by the controller, the motor is started to pull the insertion pin, so as to unlock the electronic lock.

Claims

1. An electronic frame lock comprising:

an electronic lock comprising a controller, a motor, and an insertion pin, said motor being used to receive a control signal from said controller such that said insertion pin is pulled or pushed by said motor, thereby resulting in an unlocking effect or a locking effect; and

an electronic key for transmitting a signal to said controller of said electronic lock such that the signal is compared and verified by the controller before said motor is started by the verified signal to pull said insertion pin so as to unlock said electronic lock.

2. The electronic frame lock as defined in claim 1, wherein said electronic lock further comprises a housing for mounting said electronic lock on a frame and for containing said controller, said motor, and said insertion pin.

3. The electronic frame lock as defined in claim 1, wherein said controller comprises a reader, a central processing unit, a memory, and a control loop, wherein said central processing unit is connected with said reader, said memory, and said control loop.

4. The electronic frame lock as defined in claim 1, wherein said electronic key is a contactless electronic key, and said electronic key transmits said signal to said controller in a contactless fashion.

5. The electronic frame lock as defined in claim 3, wherein said electronic key is a contactless electronic key, and said electronic key transmits said signal to said reader in a contactless fashion.

6. The electronic frame lock as defined in claim 1, wherein said controller is externally connected with a computer or a device similar to the computer via a transmission unit.

7. The electronic frame lock as defined in claim 3, wherein said central processing unit is externally connected with a computer or a device similar to the computer via a transmission unit.
