Abstract
A lock with multiple switchable operating modes has a first operating mode and a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, a moving member can trigger a first switch member, so that a control module can control the electric clutch mechanism to work only when receiving specific identification information, thereby limiting a condition that the lock can be opened. In the second operating mode, the moving member can drive a blocking member to move so as to prevent a first clutch member and a driving member from being engaged, in this case, any identification information input cannot achieve electric unlocking, and a mechanical lock cylinder can only be unlocked using a key.
