Detailed implementation manners

[0077] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0078] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", etc. indicating orientations or positional relationships are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 1 to 23 As shown, the present invention provides a vehicle lock, including a locking mechanism and a control device. The locking mechanism includes a rotating member 1 with a groove 2 provided on the outer circumference upward, a safety locking member 3 provided with a locking portion 31, and a control assembly 4 provided with a control member 45. The control assembly 4 is hinged to the safety locking member 3. The control device acts on the control assembly 4. The control assembly 4 includes an anti-locking member 42. The anti-locking member 42 can act on the control member 45. The control member 45 drives the safety locking member 3 to rotate. The locking portion 31 can be embedded in the groove 2 to lock the rotating member 1.

[0080] When the locking member 42 acts on the control member 45, the control member 45 drives the safety locking member 3 to provide resistance to the rotating member 1 through the locking portion 31. During the rotation of the rotating member 1, due to the influence of the resistance, its kinetic energy gradually decays and the rotational speed decreases until the locking portion 31 is embedded in the groove 2 to achieve the purpose of locking. Compared with the vehicle locks in the prior art, the safety locking member 3, the control assembly 4, and the control device are all arranged outside the rotating member 1, so that the vehicle lock provided by the present application can be installed on the vehicle as an accessory, the installation space is not limited, the disassembly and installation are convenient, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are low.

[0081] Among them, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the control assembly 4 has a first locking structure that abuts against the first limiting surface 32 of the safety locking member 3, and a second locking structure that abuts against the first locking surface 33 of the safety locking member 3. The first locking structure and the second locking structure enable the rotating member 1 to achieve two-way locking. By the first locking structure on the control assembly 4 abutting against the first limiting surface 32, and the second locking structure on the control assembly 4 abutting against the first locking surface 33, regardless of whether the rotating member 1 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the safety locking member 3 can provide resistance to the rotating member 1 through the locking portion 31. During the rotation of the rotating member 1, due to the influence of the resistance, its kinetic energy gradually decays and the rotational speed decreases until the locking portion 31 is embedded in the groove 2. The rotational speed of the rotating member 1 gradually decreases. Therefore, it is possible to avoid traffic safety accidents caused by sudden stops.

[0082] Furthermore, please refer to Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the control assembly 4 includes a carrier 41. The safety locking member 3 is rotatably connected to the carrier 41. The first locking structure includes a second limiting surface 411 provided on the carrier 41. When the second limiting surface 411 contacts the first limiting surface 32, it provides a locking force for the rotating member 1 rotating counterclockwise. When the control assembly 4 swings the safety locking member 3, the locking portion 31 on the safety locking member 3 gradually approaches the groove 2. If the rotating member 1 rotates counterclockwise at this time, the side wall of the groove 2 in one direction contacts the side wall of the locking portion 31 in one direction. Since the safety locking member 3 is rotatably connected to the carrier 41, taking the rotatable point as the fulcrum, a moment is generated on the safety locking member 3, and thus the safety locking member 3 has a clockwise rotation tendency. However, due to the second limiting surface 411 on the carrier 41 abutting against the first limiting surface 32 on the safety locking member 3, the carrier 41 provides an equal force to prevent the clockwise rotation tendency of the safety locking member 3, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the rotating member 1 from rotating counterclockwise, that is, locking is achieved when the rotating member 1 rotates counterclockwise.

[0083] Furthermore, please refer to Figures 1 to 11As shown, the second locking structure includes a second locking surface 421 provided on the locking member 42. When the second locking surface 421 contacts the first locking surface 33, it can provide a locking force for the rotatable member 1 that can rotate clockwise. When the control assembly 4 causes the safety locking member 3 to swing, the locking portion 31 on the safety locking member 3 gradually approaches the groove 2. If the rotatable member 1 rotates clockwise at this time, the side wall on the other direction of the groove 2 contacts the side wall on the other direction of the locking portion 31. Since the safety locking member 3 is rotatably connected to the bearing member 41, with the rotatable point as the fulcrum, a moment perpendicular to the first locking surface 33 is generated on the safety locking member 3, causing the safety locking member 3 to have a counterclockwise rotation tendency. This moment causes the first locking surface 33 to approach the second locking surface 421 on the locking member 42 until the first locking surface 33 contacts the second locking surface 421. At this time, the locking member 42 provides the same magnitude of force to prevent the counterclockwise rotation tendency of the safety locking member 3, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the clockwise rotation of the rotatable member 1, that is, locking is achieved when the rotatable member 1 rotates clockwise.

[0084] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 6 to 7 whether the second limiting surface 411 contacts the first limiting surface 32 to provide a locking force for the rotatable member 1 that rotates counterclockwise or for the rotatable member 1 that rotates clockwise; or whether the second locking surface 421 contacts the first locking surface 33 to provide a locking force for the rotatable member 1 that rotates clockwise or for the rotatable member 1 that rotates counterclockwise is related to whether the safety locking member 3 and the control assembly 4 are arranged on the left or right side of the groove 2. Without departing from the technical essence of the present application, adaptive adjustments can be made according to the actual situation, and the adjusted technical solutions are also within the protection scope of the present application.

[0085] Among them, as shown in Figures 1 to 11 the control assembly 4 includes a first torsion spring 43 provided between the safety lock body and the bearing member 41. The first torsion spring 43 is configured to bear a clockwise torsion for the safety lock body. When the rotatable member 1 rotates counterclockwise, the safety locking member 3 has a clockwise rotation tendency. Due to the torsion of the first torsion spring 43, without changing the attitude of the safety locking member 3, the first limiting surface 32 on the safety locking member 3 always contacts the second limiting surface 411 on the bearing member 41, so that when the rotatable member 1 rotates counterclockwise, the locking portion 31 is embedded in the groove 2, and the locking state is stable and reliable.

[0086] Further, the control component 4 includes a second torsion spring 44 disposed between the locking member 42 and the carrier member 41. The second torsion spring 44 is configured such that when the locking member 42 bears a clockwise torque. When the rotating member 1 rotates clockwise, the safety locking member 3 has a tendency to rotate counterclockwise. Due to the torque of the second torsion spring 44, without changing the attitude of the safety locking member 3, the second locking surface 421 of the locking member 42 is always in contact with the first locking surface 33 of the safety locking member 3. When the rotating member 1 rotates clockwise, the locking portion 31 is inserted into the groove 2, and the locking state is stable and reliable.

[0087] Among them, in order to make the vehicle lock in a stable locking state during the locking process, a self-locking structure is provided so that the rotating member 1 can be locked whether it rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. Once locked, the locking state is stable.

[0088] Among them, the self-locking structure is specifically that one end of the control member 45 is hinged to the carrier member 41 through the second mounting portion 451, and the other end is hinged to another position. The control member 45 can act on the locking member 42. When the hinge point at the other end of the control member 45 does not rotate around the hinge point due to an external force, the control member 45 will not act on the locking member 42. At the same time, the end of the control member 45 hinged to the carrier member 41 will not pull the carrier member 41 to rotate, and the safety locking member 3 hinged to the carrier member 41 will not rotate either. Thus, it can be seen that when the attitude of the control member 45 does not change, the relative positions of the control member 45, the locking member 42, the carrier member 41, and the safety locking member 3 will not change either. In this way, the self-locking structure can make the rotation member 1 be locked reliably.

[0089] In the above, to ensure the reliability during the locking process through the self-locking structure, the self-locking structure includes a third limiting surface 453 provided on the control member 45 and a limiting post 412 provided on the carrier member 41. The limiting post 412 contacts the third limiting surface 453, and the third limiting surface 453 is disposed opposite to the control portion 452. The limiting post 412 limits the control member 45, so that the attitude of the control member 45 will not change, further improving the locking reliability when the rotating member 1 rotates clockwise.

[0090] In another embodiment, the self-locking structure includes a card slot for accommodating the worm wheel 8 to limit the moving distance of the worm wheel 8. By limiting the moving distance of the worm wheel 8, the rotation angle of the control member 45 is controlled, and further the swinging angle of the safety locking member is within a controllable range.

[0091] Among them, on the control member 45, there is a control portion 452, and on the locking member 42, there is a control surface 422, and the control surface 422 can be in abutting cooperation with the control portion 452. When the rotating member 1 rotates clockwise, the locking portion 31 falls into the groove 2. At this time, the safety locking member 3 has a tendency to rotate counterclockwise. Subsequently, the first locking surface 33 and the second locking surface 421 approach each other until the first locking surface 33 contacts and abuts against the second locking surface 421. The second torsion spring 44 is configured to be stressed when the locking member 42 rotates clockwise, so that the first locking surface 33 and the second locking surface 421 are in closer contact, ensuring reliable locking when the rotating member 1 rotates clockwise. This makes the posture of the control member 45 not change. There are three points on the control member 45, namely the hinge point with the carrier member 41, the hinge point at the other end with other positions, and the contact point with the locking member 42. These three points form a triangle, so that when the rotating member 1 is in the locked state and no force is applied to the control member 45, the posture of the control member 45 will not change, further improving the locking reliability of the clockwise rotation of the rotating member 1.

[0092] The process of unlocking the rotating member 1 is as follows: an external force is applied to the control member 45 to achieve the purpose of changing the posture of the control member 45. When the control member 45 is stressed, it has a tendency to rotate counterclockwise. The control portion 452 on the control member 45 acts on the control surface 422 on the locking member 42, and then the locking member 42 rotates counterclockwise. The second locking surface 421 on the locking member 42 disengages from the first locking surface 33 on the safety locking member 3, causing the contact point of one of the contact points on the control member 45, that is, the contact point between the third limiting surface 453 and the limiting post 412, to be damaged and the two no longer contact. Under the action of the external force, the control member 45 continues to rotate counterclockwise. Since one end of the control member 45 is hinged to the carrier member 41, the control member 45 will drive the carrier member 41 to rotate counterclockwise, and then the safety locking member 3 hinged to the carrier member 41 rotates until the locking portion 31 on the safety locking member 3 disengages from the groove 2 on the rotating member 1, and the rotating member 1 can rotate freely, thus realizing unlocking. Therefore, the locking mechanism provided by the present application can achieve two-way locking, and the locking is safe and reliable. During the process of closing the lock, the locking portion 31 gradually enters the groove 2, so that the locking process is gradually realized, thereby avoiding safety accidents caused by the sudden stop of the rotating member 1. At the same time, the unlocking operation is simple, and the overall locking and unlocking performance of the locking mechanism is good, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are low.

[0093] Among them, it should be further pointed out that the protection surface 34 on the safety locking member 3 is below the first locking surface 33, and the situation where the safety locking member 3 abuts against the locking member 42 will never occur, that is, when the rotating member 1 rotates, the safety locking member 3 will not stop the rotating member 1 dead, and there will be no sudden stop phenomenon. Until the rotating speed of the rotating member 1 is very slow, the locking portion 31 of the safety locking member 3 falls into the locking groove, and when the first locking surface 33 abuts against the second locking surface 421, the rotating member 1 stops rotating.

[0094] Among them, regarding how the control device changes the posture of the safety lock 3 through the operating member 45 to achieve the purpose of locking and unlocking, the following will be further described. The control assembly 4 includes a motor 5, a gear set 6 disposed at the output end of the motor 5, a worm 7 connected to the gear set 6, a worm gear engaged with the worm 7, and a sealing connection cover 47 disposed above the end of the worm gear. The sealing connection cover 47 can rotate synchronously with the worm gear.

[0095] Compared with the prior art, the kinetic energy is transmitted from the motor 5 to the gear set 6. The gear set 6 drives the worm 7 to rotate. The worm 7 meshes with the worm gear, so that the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the worm gear can be realized. At the same time, the worm gear drives the sealing connection cover 47 disposed above its end to rotate synchronously. The sealing connection cover 47 drives the operating member 45 to rotate. Since the operating member 45 is connected to the safety lock 3 and the motor 5 can rotate forward and backward, through the step-by-step transmission of the kinetic energy of the gear set 6 and the worm gear and worm 7, the rotation of the operating member drives the state change of the safety lock 3 to achieve the purpose of locking and unlocking the vehicle lock. In the whole control process, the kinetic energy is transmitted through the motor 5, the gear set 6 and the worm gear and worm 7, and the transmission ratio is precisely controllable, so that the locking and unlocking control of the vehicle lock is accurate.

[0096] Specifically, how the sealing connection cover 47 drives the operating member 45 to rotate. The operating member 45 is disposed above the sealing connection cover 47. The operating member 45 is hinged to an eccentric member 46 disposed inside it. The eccentric member 46 is provided with an eccentric hole 461 and a mounting groove 462. The mounting groove 462 is rotationally matched with a second mounting post 471 disposed in the middle of the worm gear. The sealing connection cover 47 is provided with an eccentric post 473. The eccentric post 473 is matched with the eccentric hole 461. There are two rotatable points on the eccentric member 46. One is the central hole where the eccentric post 473 is matched with the eccentric hole 461, and the other is the center point of the second mounting post 471 (the second mounting post 471 is fixed). Therefore, when the worm gear 8 drives the sealing connection cover 47 to rotate, the eccentric post 473 disposed on the sealing connection cover 47 drives the eccentric member 46 to rotate. At the same time, the eccentric member 46 also rotates around the second mounting post 471. At this time, the eccentric member 46 drives the operating member 45 disposed outside it to rotate. After the operating member 45 rotates, the posture of the safety lock 3 changes, realizing the unlocking and locking of the vehicle lock.

[0097] Another embodiment in which the sealing connection cover 47 drives the operating member 45 to rotate. The operating member 45 is hinged to the sealing connection cover 47. The operating member 45 is hinged to a bearing member 41 through a first link 16. By adopting the above link mechanism, it can also make the sealing connection cover 47 drive the operating member 45 to rotate. Without departing from the technical mechanism of the control device of the vehicle lock provided by the present invention, it is also within the protection scope of this technical solution.

[0098] Among them, a first connection portion 81 is provided on the worm gear, a second connection portion 472 is provided on the sealing connection cover 47, the sealing connection cover 47 is hinged to the control member 45, and a third torsion spring 9 is provided between the worm gear and the sealing connection cover 47. The first connection portion 81 and the second connection portion 472 can drive the third torsion spring 9 to store energy. Specifically, the first connection portion 81 and the second connection portion 472 are placed in the cavity surrounded by the two ends of the third torsion spring 9. In this way, whether the worm gear rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the third torsion spring 9 can store energy in both directions. This setting is applicable when the locking portion 31 just contacts the convex outer wall of the rotating member 1 when the locking command is executed, and the locking portion 31 cannot smoothly fall into the groove 2 to lock the groove 2. At this time, the rotation of the worm gear causes the third torsion spring 9 to store energy until the torque of the third torsion spring 9 is greater than the resistance encountered. The third torsion spring 9 drives the sealing connection cover 47 to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the worm gear until the locking portion 31 falls into the groove 2 to achieve locking, thus ensuring that the locking is successful regardless of the situation and does not affect other components. Similarly, the unlocking can also be ensured to be successful. The functions of locking and unlocking are realized through the two-way energy storage of the third torsion spring 9 as described above.

[0099] Meanwhile, the present application provides another embodiment. A first connection portion 81 is provided on the worm gear, a second connection portion 472 is provided on the sealing connection cover 47, the sealing connection cover 47 is hinged to the control member 45, and a third torsion spring 9 is provided between the worm gear and the sealing connection cover 47. One side of the second connection portion 472 contacts the first connection portion 81, and the other side of the second connection portion 472 drives the third torsion spring 9 to store energy. By the movement and contact of the first connection portion 81 towards the second connection portion 472, the synchronous rotation of the worm gear and the sealing connection cover 47 is achieved to realize locking or unlocking. In the other direction, the sealing connection cover 47 is driven to rotate by the third torsion spring 9 to realize unlocking or locking. The biggest difference between this actual example and the above embodiment is that the above embodiment is the best embodiment, which can ensure the success rate of both locking and unlocking at the same time. However, in this embodiment, since it is necessary for the first connection portion 81 to push the second connection portion 472 to rotate in one direction, the success rates of locking and unlocking cannot be ensured simultaneously.

[0100] Among them, the control device includes a control card board 12, and a Hall element 15 is provided on the control card board 12. The Hall element 15 cooperates with the magnets on the worm gear and the sealing connection cover 47. Through the cooperation of the Hall element 15 and the magnet on the worm gear, the precise positioning of locking is realized, ensuring the reliability of locking. At the same time, through the cooperation of the Hall element 15 and the magnet on the sealing connection cover 47, the reliability of unlocking is ensured. This setting makes the vehicle lock provided by the present application highly practical.

[0101] Furthermore, the vehicle lock includes a base provided with a Hall element 15. The Hall element 15 cooperates with a magnet provided on the rotating member 1 and can measure the speed of the vehicle. The Hall element 15 is a magnetic sensitive element. When used in cooperation with the magnet, it can measure the rotation angle and speed of the rotating member 1. When the rotating member 1 rotates, each time the magnet passes by the Hall element 15, the Hall element 15 emits a signal, and then a pulse signal is obtained. The Hall element 15 can also directly output a pulse signal. The time interval between two pulse signals is the period. The rotation speed can be calculated using the period, or the number of pulses within a unit time can be counted and then the rotation speed can be calculated, thereby achieving precise positioning of the rotating member 1. When the rotating member 1 is used on a vehicle, with this setting, the vehicle lock during the vehicle's driving process can be measured. The control system in the control device can be configured according to priorities. The first priority is that when the vehicle has a rotation speed, the locking command is not executed; the second priority is that when the vehicle rotation speed is zero or a certain speed value is set, the locking command is executed. The locking command is converted into an electrical signal to control the motor 5 to work. This further improves safety.

[0102] The present invention provides a vehicle applying the above vehicle lock. The vehicle lock is arranged on the wheel of a bicycle, an electric vehicle or a motorcycle. A braking assembly is arranged inside the rotating member 1, and the braking assembly can act on the inner wall of the rotating member 1.

[0103] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, a pressing cover 10 is provided on the eccentric member 46 for pressing the eccentric member 46 inside the operating member 45 so that it is not easily detached from the inside of the operating member 45.

[0104] Furthermore, the control device of the vehicle lock includes a plastic seat 11 and a control card board 12. The plastic seat 11 is used for integrally installing the motor 5, the worm gear 8, the worm 7 and the gear set 6. Since the connection between the motor 5 and the gear set 6, the connection between the gear set 6 and the worm 7, and the connection between the worm 7 and the worm gear 8 are of high-efficiency transmission, integrating these transmission components in the plastic seat 11 can provide better protection for the transmission components, avoiding transmission failure of the control device of the vehicle lock during use. At the same time, this integrated installation method can concentrate these transmission components in a smaller range. On the basis of ensuring high-efficiency transmission, it also reduces the external volume of the control device of the vehicle lock, and has good practicability. Preferably, the gear set 6 is a reduction gear set 6.

[0105] It should be noted that the material of the plastic seat 11 does not constitute a limitation on its protection scope. Technical solutions with the same function as the plastic seat 11 of the present application are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0106] Among them, the plastic seat 11 is fixedly installed on the mounting seat 13, and wire outlet holes 1414 are provided on both the plastic seat 11 and the mounting seat 13. Taking a bicycle as an example, with this setting, the connecting wire directly enters the frame tube after coming out of the wire outlet hole 14, without any exposed wires, which is theft-proof and safe.
