Electric lock and control method thereof

An electric lock, comprising:

• an input unit configured to receive a user input entered by a user;
• a main controller electrically connected to the input unit, the main controller comprising:
• a processing unit;
• a user interface program, wherein the processing unit is configured to control the input unit to receive the user input according to the user interface program;
• and
• a verification unit configured to compare the user input with verification data pre-stored in the verification unit to generate a comparison result;
• a driving module;
• a motor connected to the driving module;
• and
• a motor controller physically independent of the main controller and storing control parameters of the motor, wherein the motor controller is configured to communicate with the main controller through a wired connection or a wireless technology, wherein the control parameters comprises at least one parameter selected from motor forward and reverse running time, motor running compensation time, pulse width modulation parameters and motor power supply voltage parameters;
• wherein when the main controller determines that the comparison result is successful and determines that the motor controller is in a sleep mode, the main controller is configured to transmit a wake-up signal to the motor controller for waking up the motor controller;
• wherein when the motor controller is woken up, the main controller is configured to transmit a control signal to the motor controller, and the motor controller is configured to control the motor to drive the driving module to drive a predetermined mechanism, which is a latch mechanism or a clutch mechanism, of the electric lock to move to perform a locking operation or an unlocking operation according to the control signal and the control parameters of the motor.
