Abstract
A clutch mechanism includes a clutch member, at least one clutch portion, an elastic member and at least one linking portion. The at least one clutch portion is disposed at the clutch member. The elastic member includes two elastic arms, and an angle is contained between the two elastic arms. The two elastic arms are actuated by force and provide a restoring force to the at least one clutch portion. The at least one linking portion corresponds to the at least one clutch portion.
Claims20
A clutch mechanism, comprising:
- a clutch member;
- at least one clutch portion, disposed on the clutch member;
- an elastic member, comprising two elastic arms, wherein an angle is contained between the two elastic arms, and the two elastic arms are actuated by force and provide a restoring force to the at least one clutch portion;
- and
- at least one linking portion, corresponding to the at least one clutch portion.
2 more elements
A clutch mechanism, comprising:
- at least one linking portion;
- at least one clutch portion, corresponding to the at least one linking portion;
- and
- an elastic member, coupled to the at least one clutch portion and comprising two elastic arms, wherein an angle is contained between the two elastic arms;
- wherein, when the at least one clutch portion and one side of the at least one linking portion contact each other, the at least one linking portion and the at least one clutch portion are permitted to rotate in linkage;
- and when the at least one linking portion pushes the at least one clutch portion to move radially and to change the angle between the two elastic arms, the two elastic arms provide a restoring force to the at least one clutch portion, thereby restoring the at least one clutch portion and moving the at least one clutch portion to another side of the at least one linking portion.
3 more elements
An electronic lock, comprising:
- a motor;
- a clutch mechanism, coupled to the motor and comprising:
- at least one linking portion, driven by the motor;
- at least one clutch portion, corresponding to the at least one linking portion;
- and
- an elastic member, coupled to the at least one clutch portion and comprising two elastic arms, wherein an angle is contained between the two elastic arms;
- a transmission shaft, linked to the at least one clutch portion;
- and
- a latch, connected to the transmission shaft;
- wherein the at least one clutch portion and one side of the at least one linking portion contact each other, and when the motor drives the at least one linking portion to rotate in a first rotational direction, the at least one clutch portion moves the latch in a first moving direction;
- when the at least one linking portion pushes the at least one clutch portion to move radially and to change the angle between the two elastic arms, the two elastic arms provide a restoring force to the at least one clutch portion, thereby restoring the at least one clutch portion and moving the at least one clutch portion to another side of the at least one linking portion.
