As an important component of modern access control systems, Electronic Locks have a wide range of applications and various classifications. The following are several classifications of electronic locks:
1. Classified by working principle Electric control locks can be divided into two categories based on their working principles: electromagnetic locks and electric locks. Electromagnetic Lock is a type of lock made using the principle of electromagnetic induction, which has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and is suitable for fields such as access control and security protection. Electric locks, on the other hand, are switches of locks driven by electric motors, which have the advantages of easy operation and high degree of automation, and are suitable for places that require high safety levels. 2. Classification by lock body structure Electric control locks can be divided into two types based on the lock body structure: plug-in locks and blade locks. There is a rotatable plug in the lock body of the plug lock, which controls the opening and closing of the door through the rotation of the plug. Blade locks control the opening and closing of doors through the coordination of multiple rotatable blades, characterized by strong anti prying and anti-theft performance. 3. Classification by operation method Electric control locks can be divided into two types according to their operation methods: button type and card swiping type. Button type electric control lock is a lock that controls the opening and closing of the lock through buttons. It has the advantages of simple and intuitive operation, and is suitable for places that require fast passage. The card swiping electronic control lock, on the other hand, controls the lock switch through card swiping, which has high safety and is suitable for places that require a high level of safety. 4. Classification by power supply Electric control locks can be divided into two types based on power supply: wired and wireless. A wired electric control lock is a device that introduces power into the lock through a cable. Its advantages include high stability and long service life, making it suitable for places that require long-term stable operation. Wireless electronic control locks, on the other hand, are powered by batteries and have the advantages of easy installation and no need for wiring, making them suitable for places that require flexible layout. 5. Classification by usage environment Electric control locks can be divided into two categories based on their usage environment: indoor and outdoor. Indoor electric control locks are usually made of plastic or metal materials, which have good sealing and dust resistance, and are suitable for indoor environments. And outdoor electric control locks need to have waterproof, dustproof, and antifreeze properties to adapt to changes in the outdoor environment.
