Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a wireless communication device, and more particularly,

The present invention relates to a bicycle lock device that is wirelessly controlled by a wireless communication function such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc., and is composed of a fastening ring fixedly mounted on a fork frame of a bicycle to fasten a bicycle wheel, The present invention relates to a wireless communication bicycle locking device having a charging function by self-power generation, which is charged by self-power generation.

Generally, a bicycle is a lightweight and convenient device that allows a driver to step on a foot with a pair of feet and turn the wheels with a chain. When storing these bicycles, they are rarely stored indoors and usually stored outdoors. Therefore, since an outsider can access the bicycle at any time, the risk of being stolen becomes high if the bicycle is stored without any other means.

Bicycle stolen is increasing year by year, and bicycle theft is becoming a serious problem all over the world such as China and Europe, and interest in bicycle stolen is increasing. Therefore, bicycle locks are often used to prevent theft when storing the bicycle outdoors.

These types of bicycle locks are used in various forms, for example, a lock comprising a chain and a lock. In other words, the driver puts a bicycle or a bicycle to be stored in a railing closely, then places a part of the bicycle such as a spoke, a rail or a storage rack around the chain, do. In addition, products which are difficult to cut by using a special material of iron while using a chain (or wire) of a locking device are being developed.

At present, there are many products that incorporate IOT (internet of things), which can be interfaced with smart phones and mobile communication products are also being proposed. The products that have been introduced with many IOTs offer not only the function of security lock but also various services such as sharing the bike, locating the location, and so on.

As an example, a technique for preventing bicycle theft using a ZigBee network has been proposed [Patent Document 1]. The prior art detects whether the lock device is disconnected or not, and drives a terminal alarm attached to the bicycle, and transmits a theft signal to a mobile phone or a remote management part of the management system through a local wireless communication network. In addition, a bicycle theft prevention technique using GPS has been proposed [Patent Document 2]. Further, techniques have been proposed that have a structure in which a GPS receiver is mounted and unlocked by a wireless device such as a smart phone and is unlocked, and a hub dynamo that is charged by being generated from a bicycle wheel is patented. In addition, a technique for outputting an alarm or transmitting a theft signal to a terminal of a user by radio when a shock and a human body contact are detected is provided with a shock and contact detection sensor, etc. [Patent Document 4].

However, the smart lock device developed by the related art as described above has a high price, and in the case of using a mobile communication network, it has a disadvantage of paying a fixed monthly usage fee like a mobile phone. For example, products such as LOCK8 can be used with a vibration switch, a gyro-accelerometer, a temperature sensor, a light sensor, a smart cable, , And GPS (satellite navigation system), which are more smart than smartphones. In addition, it can store its location information using GPS (Global Positioning System), can unlock it with only smart phone without key, and provides various additional functions by using wireless internet.

However, such a locking device has a problem that the function is complicated and the product is expensive. Therefore, it is required to develop a locking device having a unique function of the locking device, a remote monitoring or controlling function through wireless communication, and a simple and low-cost locking device.
