Abstract

An electronic door opening/closing apparatus and an electronic door opening/closing detection method, apparatus, and device are disclosed. The electronic door opening/closing apparatus includes: an electronic lock, disposed at a side-hinged door and configured to limit a turn of a door panel of the side-hinged door when the electronic lock is locked; a turning detector, disposed at the side-hinged door and configured to detect a turning parameter of the door panel of the side-hinged door to generate a turning parameter signal; a position detector, disposed at the side-hinged door and configured to generate a door state signal based on a position-approaching condition; and a main controller, configured to determine an open or closed state of the side-hinged door. The turning parameter signal is combined with the door state signal to accurately determine the open or closed state of the side-hinged door, and to effectively prevent malicious lock deception.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic door opening/closing apparatus, applicable to a side-hinged door, comprising:
an electronic lock, disposed at the side-hinged door and configured to limit a turn of a door panel of the side-hinged door when the electronic lock is locked;
a turning detector, disposed at the side-hinged door, and configured to detect a turning parameter of the door panel of the side-hinged door with respect to a door frame of the side-hinged door so as to generate a turning parameter signal;
a position detector, disposed at the side-hinged door, and configured to generate a first door state signal if a position-approaching condition is met, or generate a second door state signal if the position-approaching condition is not met; and
a main controller, configured to determine, according to the turning parameter signal and the first or the second door state signal generated by the position detector, whether the side-hinged door is in an open state or a closed state, wherein the main controller is further configured to, upon receiving an unlocking request and determining that the electronic lock is locked and the side-hinged door is in the closed state, send an unlocking signal to the electronic lock to unlock the electronic lock.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the turning detector is disposed at a door shaft of the side-hinged door.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the main controller is configured to:
determine, in response to the turning parameter being within a preset parameter range and the first door state signal being generated by the position detector, that the side-hinged door is in the closed state, or,
determine, in response to the turning parameter being not within the preset parameter range and the second door state signal being generated by the position detector, that the side-hinged door is in the open state.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the main controller is configured to, upon receiving a locking request and determining that the electronic lock is unlocked and the side-hinged door is in the closed state, send a locking signal to the electronic lock to lock the electronic lock.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the position detector comprises a magnetic detector including:
a magnetic sensor disposed at the door frame of the side-hinged door or a physical body comprising the electronic door opening/closing apparatus; and
a magnetic panel disposed at the door panel of the side-hinged door,
wherein the magnetic detector is configured to generate the first door state signal if a distance between the magnetic sensor and the magnetic panel is smaller than a preset distance, or the second door state signal if the distance between the magnetic sensor and the magnetic panel is not smaller than the preset distance.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a lock detector,
wherein the lock detector is disposed at the side-hinged door or the electronic lock, and is configured to generate a first lock state signal if a bolt of the electronic lock is in an extended state, or generate a second lock state signal if the bolt of the electronic lock is in a retracted state, and
wherein the main controller is configured to determine, according to the turning parameter signal, the first or the second door state signal generated by the position detector, and the first or the second lock state signal generated by the lock detector, whether the side-hinged door is in the open state or the closed state.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the main controller is configured to:
determine, in response to the turning parameter being within a preset parameter range, the first door state signal being generated by the position detector, and the first lock state signal being generated by the lock detector, that the side-hinged door is in the closed state, or,
determine, in response to the turning parameter being not within the preset angle range, the second door state signal being generated by the position detector, and the second lock state signal being generated by the lock detector, that the side-hinged door is in the open state.

8. An electronic door opening/closing detection method, applicable to a side-hinged door with an electronic lock, the method comprises:
obtaining a turning parameter signal and a door state signal of the side-hinged door, wherein the door state signal is a first door state signal or a second door state signal, and wherein the turning parameter signal is generated from a turning detector disposed at the side-hinged door and configured to detect a turning parameter of a door panel of the side-hinged door with respect to a door frame of the side-hinged door, the door state signal is generated from a position detector disposed at the side-hinged door, and configured to generate the first door state signal if a position-approaching condition is met, or generate the second door state signal if the position-approaching condition is not met;
determining, according to the turning parameter signal and the door state signal generated by the position detector, that the side-hinged door is in an open state or a closed state; and
sending, upon receiving an unlocking request and determining that the electronic lock is locked and the side-hinged door is in the closed state, an unlocking signal to the electronic lock to unlock the electronic lock.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the turning detector is disposed at a door shaft of the side-hinged door.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the determining, according to the turning parameter signal and the door state signal generated by the position detector, that the side-hinged door is in an open state or a closed state comprises:
determining, in response to the turning parameter being within a preset parameter range and the first door state signal being generated by the position detector, that the side-hinged door is in the closed state, or
determining, in response to the turning parameter being not within the preset parameter range and the second door state signal being generated by the position detector, that the side-hinged door is in the open state.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
upon receiving a locking request and determining that the electronic lock is unlocked and the side-hinged door is in the closed state, sending a locking signal to the electronic lock to lock the electronic lock.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
obtaining a lock state signal including a first lock state signal or a second lock state signal, wherein the lock state signal is generated by a lock detector disposed at the side-hinged door or the electronic lock, and configured to generate the first lock state signal if a bolt of the electronic lock is in an extended state, or generate the second lock state signal if the bolt of the electronic lock is in a retracted state,
wherein the determining, according to the turning parameter signal and the door state signal generated by the position detector, that the side-hinged door is in an open state or a closed state comprises:
determining, according to the turning parameter signal, the door state signal generated by the position detector, and the lock state signal generated by the lock detector, that the side-hinged door is in the open state or the closed state.
