Abstract
An electric lock includes a cover, a clutch rod, a driving module, a clutch member and a handle. The clutch rod is movably connected to a latch. The driving module is disposed on the cover. The driving module includes a driving member abutting against and rotatable relative to the cover, and a motor configured to drive the driving member to rotate. The handle is connected to the clutch member. Wherein, when the motor drives the driving member to rotate relative to the cover along a first rotating direction, the driving member drives the clutch rod to move toward the handle to be engaged with the clutch member for allowing the handle to drive the latch to move through the clutch rod when the handle is rotated.

An electric lock, comprising:
- a cover;
- a clutch rod configured to be movably connected to a latch, a first engaging structure being disposed on one end of the clutch rod;
- a driving module disposed on the cover, the driving module comprising:
- a driving member abutting against the cover and rotatable relative to the cover;
- and
- a motor configured to drive the driving member to rotate;
- a clutch member having a second engaging structure;
- and
- a first handle connected to the clutch member;
- wherein when the motor drives the driving member to rotate relative to the cover along a first rotating direction, the driving member drives the clutch rod to move toward the first handle, such that the first engaging structure is engaged with the second engaging structure for allowing the first handle to drive the clutch rod to rotate when the first handle is rotated, so as to move the latch.
A clutch mechanism of an electric lock, comprising:
