The dial wheel 2, the code wheel 5 and the limit wheel 6 are coaxially arranged, and the dial wheel 2, the code wheel 5 and the limit wheel 6 are all sleeved on a fixed shaft 7 and can rotate relative to the fixed shaft 7. Part of the dial wheel 2 extends out of the shell 1, and the part of the dial wheel 2 exposed outside the shell 1 is for the user to directly dial to unlock. Turning the dial wheel 2 can drive the code wheel 5 and the limit wheel 6 to rotate, thereby achieving unlocking.
[0032] The mechanical combination lock provided by the present invention abandons the key structure in the traditional technology, and directly dials the dial wheel 2, which is integrally formed with the combination wheel 5 without excessive transmission mechanisms, thereby avoiding damage to parts such as springs and keys, improving the stability of the structure and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0033] Furthermore, the dial wheel 2 and the code wheel 5 are integrally formed of metal material, and have a stable structure.
[0034] Furthermore, the dial wheel 2 includes a circular ring disk and a plurality of protrusions evenly arranged on the outer edge of the circular ring disk. The circular ring disk is coaxially arranged with the code wheel 5 and the limit wheel 6. The protrusions are pointed, which is convenient for the user to dial the dial wheel 2.
[0035] Furthermore, the mechanical combination lock provided by the present invention also includes an equal number of spring pieces 4 as the dial wheel 2, the spring pieces 4 are fixedly arranged in the shell 1, one spring piece 4 corresponds to one dial wheel 2, the spring piece 4 is pressed against the dial wheel 2, the spring piece 4 applies an elastic force to the protrusion, the spring piece 4 cooperates with the pointed protrusion on the dial wheel 2 to realize the gear sense when dialing, specifically, as shown in the figure, a plurality of spring pieces 4 can be integrated into a total spring piece, the total spring piece is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the shell 1, and the total spring piece can apply an elastic force toward the inside of the shell 1 to each dial wheel 2, the number of protrusions on a circular ring disk is the same as the number of numbers on the code wheel 5, the position of the protrusion matches the position of the number on the code wheel 5, so that each time a gear sense is generated, the code wheel 5 rotates one number, there are ten numbers on the sealing wheel, and there are also ten protrusions.
[0036] Furthermore, a plurality of limit platforms 9 are arranged in a matrix, and a plurality of limit wheels 6 are also arranged in a matrix, one limit platform 9 corresponds to one limit wheel 6, and any limit platform 9 in a locked state is located on a side of the limit wheel 6 arranged opposite to the limit platform 9, and a plurality of first grooves are arranged along the circumference of the limit wheel 6 on a side surface of the limit wheel 6 facing the limit platform 9 arranged opposite to the limit wheel 6, and the cross section of each first groove is consistent with the cross section of the notch, and the edge of the notch on the side of the limit wheel 6 facing the limit platform 9 is consistent with the edge of the first groove on the side of the limit wheel 6 facing the limit platform 9 The edges on the side surfaces are on the same plane, and each first groove on any limiting wheel 6 can correspond to the limiting platform 9 corresponding to the limiting wheel 6. The portion of the limiting wheel 6 with the notch corresponds to the correct unlocking code on the combination wheel 5. Each first groove is opened at the wrong unlocking code. When the mechanical combination lock is technically opened, when it is rotated to the first groove, the first groove will also produce the same blocking feel as the notch, thereby confusing criminals and preventing them from distinguishing the true and false unlocking codes by sound or feel, increasing the difficulty of technical opening and enhancing the anti-theft performance.

The function of setting the baffle is to prevent criminals from forcibly unlocking the lock. When the criminals enter an incorrect password, the mechanical password lock is in a locked state. At this time, forcibly twisting the unlocking knob 3 will cause the lock gate 8 to shake left and right or move backward. In severe cases, it will cause the lock gate 8 to fail. Therefore, setting a baffle integrated with the shell 1 can prevent the lock gate 8 from shaking left and right and moving backward, greatly improving the safety of the device.
[0038] Further, the plurality of baffle groups are divided into a first baffle group and a second baffle group, the first baffle group includes two side baffles 10 and two rear baffles 11, the two side baffles 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the radial direction of the limiting wheel 6, one rear baffle 11 corresponds to one side baffle 10, and the corresponding side baffle 10 is connected to the rear baffle 11 as a whole and presents a right-angle bent plate shape;

[0040] Furthermore, the mechanical combination lock provided by the present invention also includes an anti-drilling plate, and the lock core also includes an unlocking wheel. The unlocking wheel can be rotatably arranged in the shell 1, and the unlocking wheel is located at one end of the lock gate 8, and the lock gate 8 is provided with a locking protrusion at the end facing the unlocking wheel, and the side of the unlocking wheel is provided with a locking groove matching the locking protrusion, part or all of the locking protrusion can extend into the locking groove and limit the rotation of the unlocking wheel, when the lock gate 8 moves away from the locking wheel and the locking protrusion moves out of the locking groove, the unlocking wheel can rotate and unlock; the anti-drilling plate is arranged between the unlocking wheel and the front panel, and the anti-drilling plate can at least block the unlocking wheel and the locking protrusion in the locked state; the two sides of the anti-drilling plate used to block the locking protrusion are bent toward the lock gate 8, and one anti-drilling plate can achieve the function of front protection and side protection of the locking protrusion to prevent criminals from drilling out the locking protrusion from the side.
[0041] Furthermore, the mechanical combination lock provided by the present invention further includes an unlocking knob 3, the unlocking wheel includes a top wheel and a bottom wheel, the top wheel and the bottom wheel are sequentially rotatably arranged in the housing 1 around a first axis in a direction away from the front panel, the first axis is perpendicular to the front panel, the unlocking knob 3 is fixedly connected to the top wheel, and rotating the unlocking knob 3 can drive the top wheel to rotate around the first axis;

When the input password is incorrect, the lock gate 8 is in the locked state. At this time, if the unlocking knob 3 is rotated forcefully, the unlocking knob 3 will only drive the top rotating wheel to rotate, so as to prevent the unlocking wheel from being damaged or opened when being twisted vigorously.
[0043] Furthermore, a receiving groove extending away from the top rotating wheel is provided on the side of the bottom rotating wheel facing the top rotating wheel, the elastic transmission button is columnar, the elastic transmission button is arranged in the receiving groove and the top of the elastic transmission button extends out of the receiving groove and extends into the second groove, the bottom rotating wheel contacts the opposite end faces of the top rotating wheel, the elastic transmission button includes a spring and a sleeve, the sleeve is a hard sleeve, one end of the sleeve is open and the other end is closed, one end of the spring extends into the sleeve from the open end of the sleeve and rests on the bottom wall of the sleeve, the other end of the spring is exposed from the open end of the sleeve, the open end of the sleeve equipped with the spring extends into the receiving groove, and the closed end of the sleeve is exposed in the receiving groove and extends into the second groove, the edge of the outer wall of the closed end of the sleeve is chamfered, the second groove is a truncated cone-shaped groove, and the cross-sectional area of the second groove gradually decreases in the direction away from the bottom rotating wheel, so as to achieve the purpose that rotating the unlocking knob 3 with force in the locked state will only cause the top rotating wheel to rotate idly.
