LOCKING DEVICE WITH EMBEDDED CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

Electrified access-control technology devices for a door, particularly electrified locks for a door, having embedded circuitry therein, and methods of making the same. One or more printed circuit boards (PCBs) having various electronic circuitry are secured inside a housing that encases an access-control device, particularly a lock, for a door. The one or more PCB(s) may be embedded on an internal surface of the housing such that the embedded PCB resides inside the housing along with the lock itself. The embedded PCB(s) avoid interference of both any working components of the lock inside the housing and any openings residing in the housing.

主权项

1. A method of fabricating an electrified lock comprising:
providing a first side of a housing that has an internal surface facing an inside of said housing; fabricating a second side of said housing, said second side having at least one channel residing on a surface thereof; combining said first and second sides to provide said housing; providing an access-control device inside said housing; providing at least one printed circuit board (PCB) in said at least one channel residing on the second side of said housing; controlling said access-control device via said at least one PCB to provide an electrified lock.
