[0019] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to an automated door lock installation device that helps users by automatically installing door locks, adjusting to the specific dimensions of both the door and the lock, ensuring precise alignment and efficient installation without the need for manual intervention or error-prone adjustments.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, a perspective view of an automated door lock installation device is illustrated, comprising a platform 101 with plurality of extendable rods 102 arranged underneath the platform 101, a touch interactive display panel 103 installed on the platform 101, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 mounted on the platform 101, a primary motorized clipper 105 arranged on the platform 101 via an extendable link 106 6, a chain-type cutting unit 107 7 mounted on the platform 101 via an L-shaped extendable link 108 with a sharp plate 109, a secondary motorized clipper 110 arranged on the platform 101 via an extendable bar, a drilling module 111 assembled on the platform 101 via an L-shaped extendable pole 112, a multi-sectioned chamber 113 installed on the platform 101, a motorized screwdriver 114 attached to a L-shaped extendable shaft 115 mounted on the platform 101, a suction unit 116 configured with the platform 101 connected to a waste container 117, and a speaker 118 installed on the platform 101.

[0023] The device proposed herein includes a platform 101 that is developed to be positioned on a ground surface in proximity to a door, which is to be installed with a lock. The platform 101 as mentioned herein serves as a structural foundation to various components associated with the device, wherein the platform 101 is made up of material that includes but not limited to stainless steel, which in turn ensures that the device is of generous size and is light in weight.

[0024] The housing is equipped with plurality of extendable rods 102 arranged underneath the platform 101, that maintains an optimum distance between the base of the platform 101 and the door to enable the device to supervise the condition of the door, for the lock installation process.

[0025] In order to activate functioning of the device, a user is required to manually switch on the device by pressing a button positioned on the platform 101, wherein the button used herein is a push button. Upon pressing of the button, the circuits get closed allowing conduction of electricity that leads to activation of the device and vice versa.

[0026] Upon activation of the device by the user, an inbuilt microcontroller embedded within the platform 101 and link 106ed to the switch generates a command to activate a touch interactive display panel 103 installed on the platform 101 for enabling a user to provide input specifications regarding installation of a door lock on the door. The touch interactive display panel 103 as mentioned herein is typically an (Liquid Crystal Display) screen that presents output in a visible form. The screen is equipped with touch-sensitive technology, allowing the user to interact directly with the display using their fingers. A touch controller IC (Integrated Circuit) is responsible for processing the analog signals generated when the user inputs details regarding installation of a door lock on the door. The touch controller is typically connected to the microcontroller through various interfaces which may include but are not limited to SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).

[0027] The user is then required to place a lock onto the platform 101, which is to be installed along with the door, ensuring secure attachment and proper functionality once the door is in position. An artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 mounted on the platform 101 is activated by the microcontroller to determine dimensions of the door, along with dimensions of the door lock. The imaging unit 104 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in the surroundings, and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 104 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 104 also comprises of a processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and determines dimensions of the door, along with dimensions of the door lock.

[0028] In response to the determined dimensions of the lock, the microcontroller actuates an extendable link 106 arranged on the platform 101 to position a primary motorized clipper 105, integrated with the link 106, over edges of the door. The extension/retraction of the extendable link 106 is powered pneumatically by the microcontroller by employing a pneumatic unit associated with the platform 101, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the link 106. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the link 106 and due to applied pressure, the link 106 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the link 106 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the link 106 in order to position the primary motorized clipper 105 over edges of the door.

[0029] The microcontroller then directs actuation of the primary motorized clipper 105 to acquire a grip of the door’s edges. The primary motorized clipper 105 works by utilizing a set of powerful, precision-controlled motors to engage and secure the edges of the door. When activated, the clippers 105 mechanical arms extend and adjust to the specific dimensions of the door's edges. Equipped with gripping mechanisms, the clipper 105 securely holds the door in place, applying the right amount of pressure to ensure stability of the door without causing damage.

[0030] A moisture sensor coupled with a tactile sensor, embedded in the clipper 105 monitors moisture levels and hardness of the door, respectively to ensure the door’s conformity. The moisture sensor detects changes in humidity or moisture content within the door material, using capacitive or resistive technology to measure water presence. This allows for real-time tracking of moisture fluctuations that could affect the door’s integrity. Simultaneously, the tactile sensor evaluates the door's surface hardness by applying a controlled force and measuring the resistance encountered, which indicates the material's condition and firmness. The combined data from both sensors provide a comprehensive analysis, helping to assess whether the door is exposed to excess moisture that could lead to warping or deterioration, and whether the hardness is within an acceptable range for proper functioning.

[0031] The microcontroller then actuates an L-shaped extendable link 108 mounted on the platform 101 to position a chain-type cutting unit 107 featuring horizontally arranged teeth and integrated with the link 106 on a suitable portion on the door. The extension/retraction of the L-shaped extendable link 108 is regulated by the microcontroller by in the same manner as the extendable link 106, by employing the pneumatic unit, for positioning the chain-type cutting unit 107 on a suitable portion on the door.

[0032] Upon successful positioning of the chain-type cutting unit 107 on a suitable portion on the door, the microcontroller actuates the cutting unit 107 to create spaces in the portion for the lock installation. The chain-type cutting unit 107 works by utilizing a continuous chain of horizontally arranged teeth, which rotate and move along a fixed track to drill holes into the door. As the unit is activated, the chain is driven by a motor, causing the teeth to move in a circular motion. These teeth, designed for precision, engage with the door material, gradually cutting through it with minimal friction. The horizontal arrangement ensures even distribution of force across the door surface, providing uniform drilling on the door to create spaces in the portion for the lock installation.

[0033] After the cutting process, the microcontroller controls the movement of the L-shaped extendable link 108 to position a sharp plate 109 attached to the link 108 to precisely remove any excess material from the door, ensuring a clean and accurate finish. The microcontroller manages the actuation of the extendable link 108, allowing the sharp plate 109 to adjust its position as needed to effectively trim the door, eliminating any unwanted material or imperfections, and thereby enhancing the overall quality and fit of the door for its intended use or installation.

[0034] An ultrasonic sensor embedded on the platform 101 monitors positioning of the plate 109 during the material removal. The ultrasonic sensor monitors the positioning of the sharp plate 109 during material removal by emitting high-frequency sound waves toward the plate 109’s surface. When the sound waves hit the plate 109, they bounce back to the sensor, allowing it to calculate the distance between the sensor and the plate 109 based on the time it takes for the waves to return. This real-time feedback is processed by the microcontroller, ensuring precise control of the plate 109’s position, enabling accurate material removal by continuously adjusting the extendable link 106 to maintain the desired distance and cutting depth.

[0035] Upon creating of spaces in the portion, an extendable bar arranged on the platform 101 is actuated by the microcontroller to position a secondary motorized clipper 110 integrated with the bar over the door lock. The extension/retraction of the extendable bar is regulated by the microcontroller by in the same manner as the extendable link 106, by employing the pneumatic unit, for positioning the secondary motorized clipper 105 over the door lock.

[0036] The microcontroller then directs actuation of the secondary motorized clipper 110 to grab the door lock for aligning within the created spaces. The secondary motorized clipper 110 operates in the same manner as the primary motorized clipper 105 and is regulated by the microcontroller similarly to grab the door lock for aligning within the created spaces.

[0037] Upon alignment of the door lock with the created spaces, the microcontroller actuates an L-shaped extendable pole 112 assembled on the platform 101 to position a drilling module 111, provided with the pole 112, to create holes in the door through cavities of the lock. The extension/retraction of the L-shaped extendable pole 112 is regulated by the microcontroller by in the same manner as the extendable link 106, by employing the pneumatic unit, for position a drilling module 111 provided with the pole 112 to create holes in the door through cavities of the lock.

[0038] The microcontroller then regulates actuation of the drilling module 111 to create holes in the door through cavities of the lock. The drilling module 111 operates by precisely positioning a drill bit through the door's surface to create holes aligned with the lock's internal cavities. As the drill bit rotates, it cuts through the door material, creating the necessary holes for the lock's components.

[0039] A suction unit 116 configured with the platform 101 is synchronously activated by the microcontroller for extracting waste generated during drilling operations. The suction unit 116 typically consist of a suction pump, conduit, and suction catheter for withdrawing the waste. The pump generates a negative pressure, creating a vacuum in the unit. The conduit connects the pump to the waste container 117, where the withdrawn waste is collected. The suction catheter is used to reach the desired area for withdrawing waste. Upon action of the suction unit 116 by the microcontroller, the pump creates a pressure differential, enabling the waste to flow through the conduit into the waste container 117. Thus, enables controlled and efficient withdrawing of waste generated during drilling operations.

[0040] Upon creating of holes on the door through cavities of the lock, the microcontroller directs the secondary motorized clipper 110 along with the extendable bar for fetching screws from a multi-sectioned chamber 113 installed on the platform 101 and accordingly align with the created holes.

[0041] Upon alignment of the screws with the created holes, the microcontroller then actuates a L-shaped extendable shaft 115 mounted on the platform 101 to position a motorized screwdriver 114 attached to the shaft 115 over the screws. The extension/retraction of the -shaped extendable shaft 115 is regulated by the microcontroller by in the same manner as the extendable link 106, by employing the pneumatic unit, for positioning of the motorized screwdriver 114 over the screws.

[0042] The microcontroller then regulates actuation of the motorized screwdriver 114 for fixation of the screws within the holes. The motorized screwdriver 114 functions by utilizing an electric motor to drive a rotating screw bit, which is positioned into the holes previously drilled in the door. Upon activation, the motor spins the bit, allowing it to engage with the screw, turning it into the hole with consistent torque for fixation of the screws within the holes, thus installing the door lock on the door.

[0043] A confocal sensor coupled with the ultrasonic sensor monitors appropriate alignment and measurements of the door and lock before the installation begins. The confocal sensor, combined with the ultrasonic sensor, works together to monitor the alignment and measurements of the door and lock before installation. The confocal sensor provides high-precision measurements by detecting surface distances with light, ensuring accurate positioning of the lock cavities on the door. The ultrasonic sensor complements this by using sound waves to measure distances, confirming the overall spatial alignment. Both sensors continuously feed real-time data to the microcontroller, allowing for adjustments to ensure proper fit and alignment, preventing errors and ensuring a seamless lock installation process and preventing installation errors.

[0044] A corrosion sensor embedded in the clippers 105 and synced with the ultrasonic sensor detects any presence of corrosion in the lock and components, along with sub-optimal conditions of the lock/components. The corrosion sensor works by detecting changes in the electrical conductivity or resistance of the lock and the components, indicating the presence of corrosion. When corrosion is detected, the sensor triggers an alert. Synced with the ultrasonic sensor, which measures the structural integrity and thickness of the lock, the device identifies sub-optimal conditions such as wear, rust, or degradation. Together, these sensors provide real-time data on the lock’s condition, which is processed by the microcontroller for detecting corrosion level in the lock and components, along with sub-optimal conditions of the lock/components.

[0045] In case of any deviations are detected from respective thresholds, a speaker 118 installed on the platform 101 is activated by the microcontroller to produce audible signals for prompting a corrective action of replacing the lock/components. The speaker 118 works by receiving signals from the microcontroller, converting them into sound waves through a diaphragm’s vibration, and producing audible sounds with the help of amplification and control circuitry for prompting a corrective action of replacing the lock/components, thus ensuring quality control throughout the installation process.

[0046] Lastly, a battery is installed within the device which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is preferably a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the device a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the device is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the device i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the device from one place to another as per the requirements.

[0047] The present invention works best in the following manner, where a platform 101 that is developed to be positioned on a ground surface in proximity to a door, which is to be installed with a lock. Upon activation of the device by the user, an inbuilt microcontroller embedded within the platform 101 and link 106ed to the switch generates a command to activate a touch interactive display panel 103 installed on the platform 101 for enabling a user to provide input specifications regarding installation of a door lock on the door. An artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 mounted on the platform 101 is activated by the microcontroller to determine dimensions of the door, along with dimensions of the door lock. In response to the determined dimensions of the lock, the microcontroller actuates an extendable link 106 arranged on the platform 101 to position a primary motorized clipper 105, integrated with the link 106, over edges of the door. The microcontroller then directs actuation of the primary motorized clipper 105 to acquire a grip of the door’s edges. A moisture sensor coupled with a tactile sensor, embedded in the clipper 105 monitors moisture levels and hardness of the door, respectively to ensure the door’s conformity. The microcontroller then actuates an L-shaped extendable link 108 mounted on the platform 101 to position a chain-type cutting unit 107 featuring horizontally arranged teeth and integrated with the link 106 on a suitable portion on the door. Upon successful positioning of the chain-type cutting unit 107 on a suitable portion on the door, the microcontroller actuates the cutting unit 107 to create spaces in the portion for the lock installation. After the cutting process, the microcontroller controls the movement of the L-shaped extendable link 108 to position a sharp plate 109 attached to the link 108 to precisely remove any excess material from the door, ensuring a clean and accurate finish. An ultrasonic sensor embedded on the platform 101 monitors positioning of the plate 109 during the material removal enabling accurate material removal by continuously adjusting the extendable link 106 to maintain the desired distance and cutting depth. Upon creating of spaces in the portion, an extendable bar arranged on the platform 101 is actuated by the microcontroller to position a secondary motorized clipper 110 integrated with the bar over the door lock. The microcontroller then directs actuation of the secondary motorized clipper 110 to grab the door lock for aligning within the created spaces. Upon alignment of the door lock with the created spaces, the microcontroller actuates an L-shaped extendable pole 112 to position a drilling module 111 to create holes in the door through cavities of the lock. The microcontroller then regulates actuation of the drilling module 111 to create holes in the door through cavities of the lock.

Upon creating of holes on the door through cavities of the lock, the microcontroller directs the secondary motorized clipper 110 along with the extendable bar for fetching screws from a multi-sectioned chamber 113 installed on the platform 101 and accordingly align with the created holes.

[0048] In continuation, upon alignment of the screws with the created holes, the microcontroller then actuates a L-shaped extendable shaft 115 mounted on the platform 101 to position a motorized screwdriver 114 attached to the shaft 115 over the screws. The microcontroller then regulates actuation of the motorized screwdriver 114 for fixation of the screws within the holes.
