Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of locks, and in particular relates to a ball lock. Background Art

[0002] Ball locks are popular among users for their ease of grip and user-friendly twisting to unlock. With the advancement of ball locks, ball locks with electric switches have emerged. To achieve control functions such as locking the rear ball, maintaining a closed state, and clearing the lock, connecting wires are required. These wires pass through square steel from the rear ball lock to the front ball circuit board to electrically connect the front and rear balls. When the rear ball is operating, the front ball circuit board detects the relevant signals and performs related operations and controls. However, the wire connecting the front and rear balls is easily disturbed when the rear ball rotates, causing damage to the wires over long periods of use, impacting the reliability of the ball lock. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a thread-free ball lock, which does not require a wire to connect the front ball and the rear ball, is not easily damaged during long-term use, and has higher reliability.

[0005] A thread-free ball lock, which includes a front ball handle, a rear ball handle, a connecting piece, and a locking control module for controlling the ball lock to be locked, normally open, or cleared, wherein the front ball handle and the rear ball handle are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting piece; it is characterized in that the ball lock also includes a rotating paddle, the rear ball handle is provided with a knob exposed to the outside, a circuit board for controlling the locking module is provided in the front ball handle, the circuit board is electrically connected to the locking module, and a switch module is provided on the circuit board, one end of the rotating paddle is fixed to the knob, and the other end of the rotating paddle passes through the connecting piece and extends into the front ball handle, and corresponds to the switch module on the circuit board.

[0006] In this ball lock, a knob on the rear handle controls the rotation of a rotary paddle. The other end of the rotary paddle contacts a switch module on the circuit board, controlling the locking control module to lock, open, or clear the lock. Compared to existing wires, this rotary paddle design prevents damage even after prolonged use, extending the lifespan and increasing reliability.

[0007] Furthermore, the switch module includes a plurality of micro switches, each of which corresponds to the other end of the rotary paddle. When the rotary paddle is rotated, the other end of the rotary paddle cooperates with the plurality of micro switches to realize the locking control module, thereby realizing the control of the ball lock being locked, normally open, or cleared.

[0008] Furthermore, a toggle portion is vertically fixed to the other end of the rotary paddle, and a plurality of micro switches correspond to the ends of the toggle portion. When the rotary paddle is rotated, the ends of the toggle portion cooperate with the plurality of micro switches to realize the locking control module, thereby realizing the control of the ball lock to be locked, normally open or cleared.

[0009] Furthermore, there are two micro switches.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting piece is square steel.

[0011] Furthermore, the ball lock further comprises a buzzer, which is electrically connected to the circuit board. The buzzer enables the ball lock to have a prompt function.

[0012] Furthermore, the ball lock further comprises a battery, which is electrically connected to the circuit board. The arrangement of the battery enables the ball lock to be powered by no external power supply.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking control module includes a motor, and the motor is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0014] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that, in this ball lock, the rotation of the rotary paddle is controlled by the knob on the rear ball handle, and the other end of the rotary paddle contacts the switch module on the circuit board to control the locking control module, thereby realizing the control of the ball lock from locking to normally open or clearing. Compared with existing wires, the configuration of the rotary paddle will not be damaged even after long-term use of the ball lock, thereby extending the service life of the ball lock and improving its reliability.
