A hidden-lock door panel for use in a container includes a door panel body, a covering lid, a first lock, and a second lock. The door panel body includes a hidden space. The covering lid is disposed corresponding to the hidden space and slidably connected to the door panel body. The first lock and the second lock are both disposed in the hidden space. The first lock is an electronic lock and is used to control whether the covering lid can be released to slide. The second lock is used to control the door panel body to be unlocked or locked with respect to the container. Accordingly, unknowing persons are prevented from opening or breaking the door lock.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hidden-lock door panel for use in a container, the door panel comprising:
a door panel body including a hidden space;
a covering lid, the covering lid being disposed corresponding to the hidden space and slidably connected to the door panel body;
a first lock, the first lock being an electronic lock and disposed in the hidden space and covered by the covering lid, the first lock stopping or releasing a sliding movement of the covering lid; and
a second lock disposed in the hidden space and covered by the covering lid for unlocking or locking the door panel body with respect to the container,
wherein when the first lock is opened, the covering lid can be laterally pushed to slide, and the second lock hidden in the hidden space is thereby exposed.

2. The hidden-lock door panel of claim 1 , wherein the covering lid covers the first lock and the second lock corresponding to the hidden space.

3. The hidden-lock door panel of claim 1 , wherein the door panel body further includes two slide rails, each of the slide rails includes a fixed element and a slide element slidably connected to each other, the fixed element of each of the slide rails is fixed to the door panel body, and the slide element of each of the slide rails is fixed to the covering lid.

4. The hidden-lock door panel of claim 1 , wherein the second lock is a door lock.

5. The hidden-lock door panel of claim 1 , further comprising a card reader, the card reader being disposed and hidden in the door panel body, the first lock being an access control lock electrically connected to the card reader.
