Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle lock and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] A vehicle lock generally includes a housing and a lock pin that can be extended and retracted relative to the housing. When the lock pin extends out of the housing, it is inserted between adjacent spokes of the wheel, so that the wheel cannot rotate, thereby locking the vehicle. When the vehicle is to be used, the lock pin is retracted into the housing to prevent the lock pin from hindering the rotation of the wheel. However, when the vehicle is in use, the vehicle often vibrates due to road bumps and other reasons, which in turn causes the vehicle lock to vibrate. The lock pin is prone to move relative to the housing under the vibration of the vehicle lock, and eventually extends out of the housing and into the spokes of the wheel, causing the lock pin to be accidentally locked, causing inconvenience in use and even safety accidents.

[0058] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] At present, a vehicle lock generally includes a housing and a lock pin that can be extended and retracted relative to the housing. When the lock pin extends out of the housing, it is inserted between adjacent spokes of the wheel, so that the wheel cannot rotate, thereby locking the vehicle. When the vehicle is needed, the lock pin is retracted into the housing to prevent the lock pin from hindering the rotation of the wheel. However, when the vehicle is in use, the vehicle often vibrates due to various reasons such as bumpy roads, which in turn causes the vehicle lock to vibrate. The lock pin is prone to move relative to the housing under the vibration of the vehicle lock, and finally extends out of the housing and into the spokes of the wheel, causing the lock pin to be accidentally locked, causing inconvenience in use and even safety accidents.

[0060] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle lock and a vehicle. The vehicle lock provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various non-motorized vehicles, such as bicycles, tricycles, carts and wheelchairs, etc., and can also be used for various two-wheeled or three-wheeled motor vehicles, including vehicles driven by electricity, fuel and gas, such as electric bicycles, electric wheelchairs and motorcycles, etc.; the vehicle provided in the present application includes the above-mentioned non-motorized vehicles and motor vehicles.

[0061] like Figure 1-3 As shown, one aspect of the present application provides a vehicle lock, comprising a housing 2 and a lock pin 1 that can move relative to the housing 2 , and a stopper 3 is provided on the housing 2 for preventing the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked.

[0062] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the lock pin 1 has an action end for cooperating with the wheel of the vehicle to prevent the wheel from rotating, and the housing 2 has a port for the lock pin 1 to extend out of the housing 2. The lock pin 1 can move from an open state to a locked state relative to the housing 2. During this process, the above-mentioned action end moves outside the housing 2 in a direction away from the above-mentioned port. When the lock pin 1 is in the locked state, the action end moves to the above-mentioned wheel and cooperates with the above-mentioned wheel. The above-mentioned prevention of accidental locking of the lock pin 1 means: preventing the above-mentioned action end from cooperating with the above-mentioned wheel when it is not for the user's purpose, and when the user needs to put the lock pin 1 in a locked state, the lock pin 1 can be moved to the locked state through operation; in the embodiment of the present application, the lock shell may preferably have a slide groove 22, and the lock pin 1 realizes movement relative to the housing 2 by slidingly cooperating with the slide groove 22, and the above-mentioned port may be a port of the slide groove 22.

[0063] The vehicle lock provided in the embodiment of the present application is additionally provided with a stopper 3. During use, when the lock pin 1 moves due to an emergency, the stopper 3 and the lock pin 1 have a stopping effect, preventing the lock pin 1 from moving in the locking direction, preventing the lock pin 1 from penetrating between the spokes of the wheel, and preventing the lock pin 1 from accidentally locking, thereby avoiding the inconvenience in vehicle use and safety accidents caused by the above-mentioned accidental locking, making the vehicle safer and more convenient to use.

[0064] In order to more reliably prevent the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked, Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the stopper 3 is used to abut against the lock pin 1 to limit the movement of the lock pin 1 in the first direction, and the first direction is the direction in which the lock pin 1 moves toward the locked state relative to the housing 2. When the stopper 3 abuts against the lock pin 1 and the stopper 3 has a tendency to move relative to the lock pin 1 in the first direction, the stopper 3 and the lock pin 1 are in direct contact and generate a certain pressure, thereby obtaining a more reliable restriction on the movement of the lock pin 1 in the first direction.

[0065] In addition to preventing the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked by abutting against the stopper 3 and the lock pin 1, the stopper 3 and the lock pin 1 can also preferably be magnetically matched to prevent the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked. Specifically, the stopper 3 and the lock pin 1 can both have a magnetic structure, which can be a permanent magnet or battery iron, etc., and a repulsive force is generated between the two magnetic structures when the lock pin 1 moves in the first direction or has a tendency to move, thereby limiting the movement of the lock pin 1 in the first direction. Of course, as long as the lock pin 1 can be prevented from being accidentally locked, other matching structures can be used between the stopper 3 and the lock pin 1.

[0066] In order to reliably prevent the lock pin 1 from being locked accidentally, the lock pin 1 can also be moved to a locked state under a certain force when the user needs to lock the lock pin 1, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the stopper 3 is detachably connected to the shell 2. When the vehicle is in use, the lock pin 1 is opened, and then the stopper 3 is connected to the shell 2. The stopper 3 is in a stopping state, which can prevent the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked. When the vehicle is not needed, the stopper 3 is removed to close the lock pin.

[0067] In another specific embodiment of the present application, the stopper 3 is rotatably connected to the shell 2, and the stopper 3 can rotate relative to the shell 2 in a working state and a non-working state. When the vehicle is in use, the stopper 3 is rotated to the working state, and the stopper 3 is in a state where it can cooperate with the lock pin 1 to act as a stopper, thereby preventing the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked; when the vehicle is not needed, the stopper 3 is rotated to the non-working state, and the stopper 3 is in a state where it does not cooperate with the lock pin 1, and there is no interference between the stopper 3 and the lock pin 1, so that the lock pin 1 can be closed normally.

[0068] In another preferred embodiment of the present application, the stopper 3 is used to elastically abut against the lock pin 1 to prevent the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked by elastic force. When the lock pin 1 tends to move in the first direction due to vibration or other unexpected reasons, the lock pin 1 can be prevented from moving in the first direction due to the restriction of the elastic force, and when the user applies a force greater than the elastic force to the lock pin 1, elastic deformation can be generated at the position where the stopper 3 and the lock pin 1 are engaged, so that the lock pin 1 can move to the locked state.

[0069] The abutment between the stop member 3 and the lock pin 1 may be friction abutment in addition to the elastic abutment mentioned above. Specifically, the stop member 3 may abut against the lock pin 1 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, and when the lock pin 1 has a tendency to move in the first direction, friction force is generated between the stop member 3 and the lock pin 1, thereby limiting the movement of the lock pin 1 in the first direction.

[0070] It is also preferred that the stop member 3 and the lock pin 1 are elastically abutted against each other, and an abutment surface inclined relative to the first direction is formed at the abutment position between the two. When the lock pin 1 has a tendency to move in the first direction, friction force is generated between the stop member 3 and the lock pin 1 at the abutment surface, thereby limiting the movement of the lock pin 1 in the first direction through elastic force and friction force.

[0071] Among them, there are many implementation methods for the elastic abutment between the stopper 3 and the locking pin 1. For example, the stopper 3 is an elastic structure, or only the part of the locking pin 1 that cooperates with the stopper 3 can be an elastic structure, or both the stopper 3 and the part of the locking pin 1 that cooperates with the stopper 3 can be elastic structures.

[0072] Preferably, the stopper 3 is an elastic member, so that there is no need to make major changes to the original vehicle lock, and only elastic materials need to be used when making the stopper 3, and the vehicle lock manufacturing cost is low. In addition, compared with the part in contact with the stopper 3, the stopper 3 is an elastic member, and the replacement cost is relatively low. When the elasticity of the elastic member fails or the elastic force is insufficient to meet the use requirements, only the stopper 3 needs to be replaced, and the replacement of the lock pin 1 is convenient and quick.

[0073] To facilitate the manufacture of the stopper 3, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the stopper 3 is an elastic structure as a whole. In this way, the stopper 3 can be directly formed with elastic material, which is convenient for manufacture. Of course, part of the stopper 3 can also be a rigid structure and the other part can be an elastic structure.

[0074] In order to enable the above-mentioned elastic member to be obtained through more channels, thereby facilitating the manufacture of the above-mentioned elastic member and the vehicle lock provided in the embodiment of the present application, in a specific implementation manner of the present application, the elastic member includes a metal spring, a spring, a rubber product or a plastic product.

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, an inlet and outlet 21 is formed on the housing 2 for the lock pin 1 to enter and exit the housing 2, and the stopper 3 is located upstream of the inlet and outlet 21 in the first direction. Usually, the lock pin 1 moves downward under the action of gravity. Compared with setting the stopper 3 at the end of the lock pin 1 (i.e., the lock pin 1 is about to extend out of the inlet and outlet 21 of the housing 2), setting the stopper 3 upstream can stop it earlier. In addition, this avoids the situation where the stopper 3 is set at the above-mentioned inlet and outlet 21 and the stopper 3 is extended out of the housing 2 from the inlet and outlet 21 under the action of the lock pin 1. The inlet and outlet 21 can be the above-mentioned port.

[0076] In order to more reliably prevent the lock pin 1 from being locked accidentally, when the stopper 3 is an elastic member, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the lock pin 1 is used to engage with the stopper 3, and the engagement makes the fit between the lock pin 1 and the stopper 3 more secure and the stopping effect better. Specifically, it is preferred to form a card interface on the lock pin 1 so that the stopper 3 engages with the card interface; a card interface can also be provided on the stopper 3 and engaged with the lock pin 1 through the card interface; a card interface can also be provided on both the lock pin 1 and the stopper 3 so that the two can be engaged through the card interface.

[0077] In order to make the stopper 3 simple in structure, easy to manufacture and reduce the manufacturing cost, Figure 1 As shown, in a specific implementation of the present application, the stopper 3 is in the shape of a strip.

[0078] In order to reliably avoid the lock pin 1 from being locked accidentally, and at the same time minimize the loss of the stopper 3, thereby increasing the service life of the stopper 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the length direction of the stopper 3 is perpendicular to the first direction. This makes the first stopper 3 receive almost the same force in the first direction and in the direction opposite to the first direction when the lock pin 1 moves relative to the stopper 3, which avoids the problem of premature damage to the stopper 3 due to a larger force on one side, thereby extending the service life of the stopper 3.

[0079] Of course, the length direction of the stopper 3 can also be made inclined relative to the first direction and have a component opposite to the first direction, so that when the lock pin 1 moves in the first direction or has a tendency to move, it will encounter greater resistance from the stopper 3, and when the lock pin 1 moves in the opposite direction to the first direction, the resistance encountered is correspondingly smaller, thereby reliably avoiding accidental locking of the lock pin 1 while facilitating the lock pin 1 to move from a locked state to an open state under the operation of the user.

[0080] It should be noted that the stopper 3 can be matched with any suitable part of the lock pin 1, such as the end of the lock pin 1, the surface of the lock pin 1, etc., as long as it can play a stopping role.

[0081] In order to better prevent the locking pin 1 from locking, Figure 1 and 2As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the lock pin 1 includes a lock pin body 13 and a limiting portion 12 disposed on the lock pin body 13, and the limiting portion 12 is used to cooperate with the stopper 3 to prevent the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked. Adding the limiting portion 12 to the lock pin body 13 specifically matches the stopper 3, which can better prevent the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked. In addition, by making the structure used to achieve the cooperation between the lock pin 1 and the stopper 3 a part of the lock pin 1, when manufacturing the lock pin 1, it is convenient to form the structure that cooperates with the stopper 3 with the lock pin body 13 as an integral part, thereby facilitating the manufacture of the lock pin 1. Of course, the structure that cooperates with the stopper 3 can also be manufactured independently of the lock pin 1, and then installed on the lock pin 1 by detachable means or welding.

[0082] In addition, the limiting portion 12 and the stopper 3 may be a snap-fitting structure, for example, one of the limiting portion 12 and the stopper 3 has a groove structure, and the other has a protrusion structure, through which the groove structure cooperates with the protrusion structure.

[0083] In order to reliably prevent the lock pin 1 from being accidentally locked by the above-mentioned limiting portion 12, while also maintaining a good overall strength of the lock pin 1, in one embodiment of the present application, the limiting portion 12 is a protrusion. This can avoid the influence of structures such as a slot on the lock pin 1 on the strength of the lock pin 1. Of course, the volume of the vehicle lock provided in the embodiment of the present application can also be reduced by providing a slot on the lock pin 1 for cooperating with the stopper 3.

[0084] In order to reliably avoid the lock pin 1 from being locked accidentally, and at the same time minimize the loss of the stopper 3, thereby increasing the service life of the stopper 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the limiting portion 12 is columnar, and can be any suitable shape such as a round column, a square column, etc. The columnar limiting portion has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. The extending direction of the limiting portion 12 can be perpendicular to the first direction, so that when the lock pin 1 moves relative to the stopper 3, the forces acting on the limiting portion 12 in the first direction and in the direction opposite to the first direction are almost the same, which avoids the problem of premature damage to the limiting side caused by a large force on the limiting side, thereby extending the service life of the limiting portion 12.

[0085] Of course, the length direction of the limiting portion 12 can also be made inclined relative to the first direction and have a component in the first direction, so that when the locking pin 1 moves or has a tendency to move in the first direction, the limiting portion 12 will be subject to greater resistance from the stop member 3, and when the locking pin 1 moves in the opposite direction to the first direction, the resistance encountered is correspondingly smaller, thereby reliably avoiding accidental locking of the locking pin 1 and facilitating the movement of the locking pin 1 from the locked state to the open state under the operation of the user.

[0086] The limiting portion 12 may be in a columnar shape or in an arc-shaped strip or other structure.

[0087] In order to reliably prevent the lock pin 1 from being locked accidentally, and to move the lock pin 1 to a locked state under a certain force when the user needs to lock the lock pin 1, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the limit portion 12 is an elastic structure. This allows the limit portion 12 to elastically cooperate with the stopper 3, thereby preventing the lock pin 1 from being locked accidentally under the elastic force between the two. When the force applied by the user on the lock pin 1 is greater than the elastic force, the lock pin 1 can be moved to the locked state. Of course, it is also preferred that both the stopper 3 and the limit portion 12 are elastic structures.

[0088] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the limiting portion 12 is arranged in the middle of the lock pin body 13 in the first direction. The lock pin 1 has a certain length, one end of the lock pin 1 cooperates with the housing 2, and the other end is used to be inserted into the wheel of the vehicle, and the middle part of the lock pin 1 is usually not fully utilized. The length of the middle part of the lock pin 1 is large, and the surrounding space is large, and the middle part of the lock pin 1 generally does not need to interact with other components, so setting the limiting portion in the middle part of the lock pin 1 can make full use of the original structure of the lock pin 1, while not affecting the original function of the lock pin 1. In addition, this makes the lock pin 1 easier to shape.

[0089] In order to reduce the space occupied by the car lock provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, a groove 11 is formed on the lock pin body 13, and the limiting portion 12 is arranged in the groove 11. When the limiting portion 12 is a protrusion, the dimension of the limiting portion 12 extending from the lock pin body 13 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction is reduced, the volume occupied by the lock pin 1 is reduced, and the space occupied by the vehicle lock is further reduced.

[0090] Since the stop member 3 interacts with the locking pin 1 during use, it will wear out and need to be replaced after long-term use. To facilitate the replacement of the stop member 3, a specific implementation of the present application includes a connecting member 4, and the stop member 3 is detachably mounted on the shell 2 via the connecting member 4.

[0091] When the stopper 3 is connected to the housing 2 by means of a bolt or a screw, in order to minimize the volume occupied by the vehicle lock provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 and 3As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the connecting member 4 has a rod portion and a cap portion connected to each other, and a through hole 31 for the rod portion to pass through and a receiving portion 32 for receiving the cap portion are formed on the stopper 3. Through the receiving portion 32, the cap portion is positioned as much as possible inside the stopper 3, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the connecting member 4 and the stopper 3 as a whole, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the vehicle lock provided in the embodiment of the present application. The receiving portion 32 is an inwardly concave space formed on the stopper 3, and can be a structure such as a groove 11.

[0092] To further prevent the locking pin 1 from being accidentally locked, Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the lock pin 1 is a lock ring. Since the lock pin 1 is a lock ring, the path of movement of the lock pin 1 relative to the housing 2 is correspondingly annular. Compared with a linear path, the lock ring is less likely to move relative to the housing 2 under vibration and other conditions, thereby avoiding accidental locking of the lock pin 1 to a certain extent. Of course, the lock pin 1 can also extend in a straight line, or be a U-shaped structure.

[0093] In order to provide a position for the user to hold on the lock pin 1 when the user needs to lock the vehicle through the vehicle lock, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the lock pin 1 includes a lock pin body 13 and a gripping finger 14, and the gripping finger 14 is installed on the lock pin body 13 so as to apply a force to the lock pin 1 through the gripping finger 14. When the lock pin 1 needs to be moved from the open state to the locked state, the user applies a force on the gripping finger 14 and moves the lock pin 1 in the first direction, so that the lock pin 1 breaks through the restriction of the stopper 3 on the lock pin 1 and finally moves to the locked state. Specifically, the gripping finger 14 preferably extends in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, so that the user can apply a force parallel to the first direction on the gripping finger 14.

[0094] Based on the aforementioned vehicle lock of the present application, another aspect of the present application further provides a vehicle, including the aforementioned vehicle lock. Specifically, the vehicle may be a shared bicycle, wherein the shared bicycle includes an electric bicycle and a non-electric bicycle.

[0095] The vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application can prevent the lock pin 1 of the vehicle lock from being accidentally locked by using the vehicle lock provided in the embodiment of the present application, thereby avoiding the inconvenience in vehicle use and safety accidents caused by the above-mentioned accidental locking.

[0096] The third aspect of the present application also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and a vehicle lock arranged on the vehicle body, wherein the vehicle body is provided with a stopper 3 for preventing the lock pin 1 of the vehicle lock from being accidentally locked.
