DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] The application is further described in connection with the following examples.
[0035] An embodiment of the multi-layer password lock for luggage bags of the application is described by taking a zipper password lock capable of locking both zipper pieces and front cover buckles as an example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3As shown, the password lock comprises a lock shell, the lock shell comprises a first lock shell 11 and a second lock shell 12 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the first lock shell 11, the first lock shell 11 and the second lock shell 12 can adopt an integrated structure or a split structure, in the embodiment, the first lock shell 11 comprises a face shell 111, a bottom plate 113 and a bottom shell 112, the face shell 111 is arranged on the top surface of the bottom shell 112, and the bottom plate 113 is arranged inside the bottom shell 112. The second lock shell 12 comprises a base 122 and a top plate 121 arranged on the top surface of the base 122, in order to save assembly steps and strengthen the structural strength of the lock shell, the top plate 121 of the second lock shell 12 and the bottom shell 112 of the first lock shell 11 adopt an integrated structure, and the shell formed by the bottom shell 112 and the top plate 121 is a hollow structure. Since there is a height difference between the first lock shell 11 and the second lock shell 12 in the height direction, the lock shell is more suitable for bags with a partition, the second lock shell 12 can match the front cover of the bag, so that the partition of the bag is more convenient to lock. In addition, the bottom plate 113 is clamped at the bottom of the face shell 111 through a clamping structure, which can adopt a clamping hole 91 and a clamping convex buckle. The bottom shell 112 is detachably connected with the base 122 through the top plate 121, and the base 122 is detachably connected with the face shell 111, and the base 122 and the face shell 111 and the top plate 121 and the base 122 can be detachably connected by adopting a screw fastening mode. In addition, in order to facilitate the user to charge or power the mobile electronic device, the first lock shell 11 is also provided with a USB socket module 14, it should be pointed out that the USB socket module 14 is provided with a power supply end and a charging end, the charging end can be electrically connected with the charging wire and the mobile power supply in the bag, and the power supply end can be various USB sockets of different specifications, so that consumers can plug in the power line to charge the mobile electronic device.
[0036] The password lock of the embodiment is suitable for bags with a multi-layer structure, therefore, the password lock of the embodiment has two lock holes 13, the two lock holes 13 are arranged at the face shell 111 of the first lock shell 11, and each lock hole 13 is provided with a lock hook 5 rotatably installed in the first lock shell 11, and the lock hook 5 and the first lock shell 11 are provided with an elastic member for driving the lock hook 5 to flip to the locking state. In order to realize the anti-theft function, the lock shell is provided with a locking block 6 for abutting against the lock hook 5 to realize locking, the number of the locking blocks 6 is equal to the number of the lock hooks 5, and each locking block cooperates with a lock hook 5.
[0037] In order to facilitate assembly and protect the locking block 6, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5The first lock shell 11 is further provided with a lock hook base 50 covering the upper locking block 6. The lock hook base 50 is fixed by being pressed by the face shell 111 of the first lock shell 11. Both of the upper locking blocks 6 are installed in the same lock hook base 50, and each upper locking block 6 can slide in the lock hook base 50 in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the first lock shell 11. The top end of the lock hook base 50 extends outwardly in a pair of mounting ears 501. The two side surfaces of the lock hook 5 extend outwardly in a pair of cylindrical hinge portions 55. During assembly, the hinge portions 55 are supported on the top end of the mounting ears 501, so that the lock hook base 50 supports the lock hook 5, and the lock hook 5 can rotate relative to the first lock shell 11.
[0038] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lock hook 5 includes a hook portion 53 and a clamping portion 54. The hook portion 53 is used for hooking the zipper slide. The upper locking block 6 includes a straight bar-shaped locking block body, and the locking block body is provided with an unlocking slot 61. In the locked state, the locking block body of the upper locking block 6 abuts against the clamping portion 54 of the lock hook 5. At this time, the clamping portion 54 is misaligned with the unlocking slot 61, so as to limit the rotation of the lock hook 5 to unlock. During unlocking, the upper locking block 6 moves in the width direction of the lock hook base 50. After the unlocking slot 61 is aligned with the clamping portion 54, the clamping portion 54 can be inserted into the unlocking slot 61, so that the rotation of the lock hook 5 is not limited, and the lock hook 5 can be unlocked. The elastic member can drive the lock hook 5 to automatically return. Similarly, in order to enable the upper locking block 6 to automatically return, an elastic member is arranged between the upper locking block 6 and the lock hook base 50.
[0039] In combination Figure 6 In order to enable the upper locking block 6 to move to unlock, the lock shell is further provided with an upper movable block 71 for driving the upper locking block 6 to move. The bottom surface of the upper locking block 6 extends downwardly in an unlocking portion 62. The one end of the upper movable block 71 close to the upper locking block 6 is provided with an unlocking hole 73 for inserting the unlocking portion 62. The unlocking hole 73 is provided with a second wedge surface 74. The unlocking portion 62 is provided with a first wedge surface 63 complementary to the second wedge surface 74. As a preferred scheme, the cross-sectional shape of the unlocking portion 62 of the upper locking block 6 is trapezoidal. During work, when the upper movable block 71 moves to the right, the second wedge surface 74 of the unlocking hole 73 of the upper movable block 71 abuts against the first wedge surface 63 of the unlocking portion 62 of the upper locking block 6, so as to convert the transverse movement of the upper movable block 71 into the longitudinal movement of the upper locking block 6, thereby enabling the upper locking block 6 to release the rotation limitation of the lock hook 5, and realizing the unlocking of the lock hook 5.
[0040] In order to unlock the lock hook 5 of the password lock, the upper movable block 71 must be moved. The movement of the upper movable block 71 drives the upper locking block 6 to be misaligned with the lock hook 5, so that the lock hook 5 can be unlocked. Therefore, the password lock is provided with a push assembly for pushing the upper movable block 71 to move in the length direction of the lock shell.
[0041] In combination Figure 7, the push assembly comprises a push body 21 and a lock cylinder 22, the lock cylinder 22 is rotatably installed in the push body 21, it should be explained that the lock cylinder 22 is a conventional pin tumbler lock, that is, after inserting the key, the lock cylinder 22 can be rotated relative to the push body 21, and the lock cylinder 22 cannot be rotated without inserting the key. The push assembly can slide along the length direction of the first lock shell 11, and the push assembly is clamped with the upper movable block 71, specifically, the bottom of the lock cylinder 22 extends downwardly to form two spaced first and second driving portions 23 and 24, and the end of the upper movable block 71 close to the second driving portion 24 is provided with a clamping hole for inserting the second driving portion 24, the clamping hole is a long hole, and the second driving portion 24 can slide along the length direction of the clamping hole after being inserted into the clamping hole, so that the movable connection between the push assembly and the upper movable block 71 is realized. Thus, without the blocking of other mechanisms, by pushing the push body 21 to the left, the push body 21 drives the lock cylinder 22 to slide to the left along the length direction of the first lock shell 11, since the second driving portion 24 of the lock cylinder 22 clamps the upper movable block 71, the push body 21 is pushed to slide to drive the upper movable block 71 to move, thereby realizing the unlocking of the lock hook 5.
[0042] In addition, since the lock cylinder 22 clamps the upper movable block 71, and the upper movable block 71 is limited to slide along the length direction of the first lock shell 11, when unlocking by using the key, the key is inserted and the lock cylinder 22 is rotated, the rotation of the lock cylinder 22 is converted into the horizontal sliding of the upper movable block 71, so that the lock hook 5 is unlocked by the upper movable block 71. When locking, only the lock cylinder 22 is rotated in the opposite direction of unlocking, the lock cylinder 22 is rotated to drive the upper movable block 71 to reset, thereby completing the locking.
[0043] In the embodiment, please see Figures 1 to 2 , the side surface of the second lock shell 12 is provided with two spaced clamping holes 15, and each clamping hole 15 is provided with a lock tongue 8 which can rotate relative to the second lock shell 12, it should be explained that the rotatable installation mode of the lock tongue 8 can adopt the structure that the lock hook 5 is rotatably installed in the first lock shell 11, similarly, in order to facilitate the automatic reset of the lock tongue 8, the torsional spring for driving the lock tongue 8 to flip to the locking state is arranged between the lock tongue 8 and the second lock shell 12.
[0044] Combined with Figure 10 , the end of the lock tongue 8 close to the clamping hole 15 forms a hook portion 81 for clamping the external lock buckle, and the other end of the lock tongue 8 is suspended, that is, there is a certain distance between the end of the lock tongue 8 and the inner bottom surface of the second lock shell 12, which is similar to a lever structure. Combined with Figures 8 to 9The second lock shell 12 is further provided with a lower lock block 9 which is slidable along the length direction of the second lock shell 12. As an optional solution, the lower lock block 9 is in a T shape. The end of the lower lock block 9 facing the lock tongue 8 is provided with a guide slope 92 which is inclined upward. In the locked state, the upper end of the guide slope 92 abuts against the free end of the lock tongue 8. During the unlocking process, the guide slope 92 of the lower lock block 9 interferes with the movement of the free end of the lock tongue 8 to drive the lock tongue 8 to gradually turn to the unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the lower end of the guide slope 92 abuts against the free end of the lock tongue 8.
[0045] It should be noted that the push assembly, the lock hook 5, the upper lock block 6, the lock hook seat 50 and the upper movable block 71 are all installed in the first lock shell 11, while the lock tongue 8 and the lower lock block 9 are installed in the second lock shell 12. In order to enable the push assembly to drive the lower lock block 9 to move, the first lock shell 11 is further provided with a lower movable block 72 which is slidable along the length direction of the first lock shell 11. The end of the lower movable block 72 away from the push body 21 extends a clamping arm 721 which penetrates through the bottom of the first lock shell 11. The middle part of the lower lock block 9 extends a clamping hole 91 upward which penetrates through the top of the second lock shell 12. The clamping arm 721 extends toward the clamping hole 91 and is inserted into the clamping hole 91, thereby connecting the lower movable block 72 and the lower lock block 9 into one body. When the lower movable block 72 slides horizontally, the lower lock block 9 will slide horizontally as well.
[0046] In combination with Figure 7 and Figure 10 The bottom of the lock cylinder 22 extends a first driving part 23 which is spaced apart from the second driving part 24. The end of the lower movable block 72 close to the first driving part 23 is provided with a clamping groove for the insertion of the first driving part 23. After the first driving part 23 is inserted into the clamping groove, the first driving part 23 can slide along the length direction of the clamping groove, thereby achieving the movable connection between the push assembly and the lower movable block 72. Thus, without the obstruction of other mechanisms, by pushing the push body 21 to the right, the push body 21 will drive the lock cylinder 22 to slide to the right along the length direction of the first lock shell 11. Since the first driving part 23 of the lock cylinder 22 clamps the lower movable block 72, pushing the push body 21 to slide will drive the lower movable block 72 to move, thereby achieving the unlocking of the lock tongue 8.
[0047] In addition, since the lock cylinder 22 clamps the lower movable block 72, and the lower movable block 72 is limited to slide along the length direction of the second lock shell 12, when unlocking with a key, the key is inserted and the lock cylinder 22 is rotated. The rotation of the lock cylinder 22 will be converted into the horizontal sliding of the lower movable block 72, thereby unlocking the lock tongue 8 by the lower movable block 72. When locking, only need to rotate the lock cylinder 22 in the opposite direction of unlocking, the lock cylinder 22 is rotated and drives the lower movable block 72 to reset, thereby completing the locking.
[0048] As an improvement, see Figure 3 , the password lock further comprises a password wheel assembly 3. The password wheel assembly 3 comprises a wheel shaft 31 arranged along the length direction of the lock shell and capable of reciprocating and retracting movement, and a wheel shaft spring 32 sleeved on the outer circumferential side of the wheel shaft 31. It should be noted that the password wheel assembly 3 is a conventional password wheel structure, and the wheel shaft spring 32 is a resilient return member of the password wheel assembly 3 itself. When the password is correct, the wheel shaft 31 can reciprocate and retract, and when the password is incorrect, the wheel shaft 31 cannot retract. The wheel shaft 31 is arranged on the side of the push body 21 and located on the movement track of the push body 21. Its working process is as follows: when the password is incorrect, the wheel shaft 31 is in the extended state, and the end of the wheel shaft 31 abuts against and limits the push sliding to achieve locking; when the password is correct, the wheel shaft 31 is in the retractable state, the push assembly slides towards the unlocking direction and pushes the wheel shaft 31 to retract, the wheel shaft spring 32 is in the compressed state, the push assembly slides and drives the lower movable block 72 or the upper movable block 71 to move, and the movement of the upper movable block 71 or the lower movable block 72 drives the corresponding lock block or lock tongue 8 to move; when locking, the wheel shaft spring 32 in the compressed state drives the wheel shaft 31 to extend and reset, and the extension and reset of the wheel shaft 31 pushes the push body 21 to reset.
[0049] In order to make the operation of the password lock more humanized, the movement of the push body 21 needs to be designed as follows: moving to the right to separately unlock the lock tongue 8 in the second lock shell 12 and moving to the left to separately unlock the lock hook 5 in the first lock shell 11. The traditional design idea is to arrange one password wheel assembly 3 on the left side and the right side of the push body 21 respectively, which are used to limit the movement of the push body 21 to the left and to the right in the locked state. However, using two password wheel assemblies 3 undoubtedly increases the manufacturing cost and the overall size of the password lock. To solve the problem that a single password wheel assembly 3 cannot limit the movement of the push body 21 to the left and to the right in the locked state, the embodiment adds a clutch 4. Specifically, in combination with Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the push assembly further comprises a clutch 4, which is installed on the side of the push body 21 facing the wheel shaft 31 and can rotate relative to the push body 21. As a preferred solution, the middle part of the clutch 4 is provided with a hinge hole, the push body 21 is provided with a guide groove 200 located below the hinge hole, a rotating shaft 40 is fixed in the first lock shell 11 (the top end surface of the bottom plate 113), the top end of the rotating shaft 40 passes through the guide groove 200 of the push body 21 and is inserted into the hinge hole of the clutch 4, the clutch 4 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 40, and the rotating shaft 40 can slide along the length direction of the guide groove 200.
[0050] As preferred, the push body 21 is further provided with a front limiting slot 201 and a rear limiting slot 202 located at the front side and the rear side of the guide slot 200 respectively, the bottom surface of the clutch 4 extends downwardly to a front push rod 41 inserted into the front limiting slot 201 and a rear push rod 42 inserted into the rear limiting slot 202, the front push rod 41 and the rear push rod 42 are staggered and diagonally arranged in the length direction of the lock shell.
[0051] When locking, the front push rod 41 abuts against the right inner side wall of the front limiting slot 201, since the wheel shaft 31 is in the locking state, the wheel shaft 31 cannot perform the telescopic movement, thus the push body 21 cannot move to the left side under the obstruction of the front limiting slot 201 and the front push rod 41, and the rear push rod 42 abuts against the left inner side wall of the rear limiting slot 202, thus the push body 21 cannot move to the right side under the obstruction of the rear limiting slot 202 and the rear push rod 42, thereby achieving the locking, and by arranging the clutch 4, the single password wheel assembly 3 can be used to limit the movement of the push body 21 to the left and to the right. When unlocking, the wheel shaft 31 can perform the telescopic movement, the push body 21 slides to the left side, the push body 21 pushes the front push rod 41 to rotate the clutch 4 in the clockwise direction, and the rear push rod 42 slides along the rear limiting slot 202; when the push body 21 slides to the right side, the push body 21 pushes the rear push rod 42 to rotate the clutch 4 in the clockwise direction, and the front push rod 41 slides along the front limiting slot 201. It should be noted that no matter whether the push body 21 slides to the left side or to the right side, as long as the wheel shaft 31 is in the unlocking state, the clutch 4 will rotate and abut against the end of the wheel shaft 31, thereby assisting the push body 21 to unlock, so that the required force for unlocking is smaller, and the unlocking process is smoother and more stable.
[0052] It should be noted that the clutch 4 and the push body 21 are limited by the limiting slots and the push rods, so that in the locking state, the push body 21 can always be located at the middle position of the operation cavity of the face shell 11 (the operation cavity is a through hole provided in the face shell 11, mainly used for mounting the push body 21 and sliding the push body 21 to the left or to the right), replacing the previous way of using a spring or other elastic member to limit the push body 21, in the traditional scheme, due to the elastic force of the spring itself, the push body 21 cannot be centered, and after the push body 21 returns, the push body 21 will always be subjected to the elastic force of the spring (elastic member), which will cause the push body 21 to always deviate to the left or to the right in the operation cavity of the face shell 11, and in the present embodiment, in addition to being able to control the push body 21 to be unable to move to the left and to the right by using a single password wheel assembly 3, the clutch 4 can also limit the push body 21, so that after the push body 21 returns, the push body 21 can always be kept at the position before being unlocked, and the push body 21 can be kept at the centered position after returning.
[0053] In another embodiment, if the combination lock does not need to set the lock hook 5, i.e. the combination lock removes the function of locking the outer zipper sheet, the lock hook 5, the locking block 6 and the upper movable block 71 are not needed, only the lock shell, the push assembly, the combination wheel assembly 3, the lower movable block 72, the lower locking block 9, the clutch 4 and the lock tongue 8 are reserved, i.e. a combination lock for locking the outer front cover lock is composed, and when only the lock hook 5 or the lock tongue 8 is needed, i.e. the push body 21 only needs to move in one direction (right or left) to unlock, the clutch 4 also does not need to be set.
[0054] The combination wheel assembly 3 of the multi-layer combination lock for luggage is provided with the wheel shaft spring 32 as a reset member, which can automatically reset the sliding push after the sliding, the wheel shaft spring 32 is sleeved on the wheel shaft body 31, so that the wheel shaft spring 32 only expands and contracts in the axial direction, the conventional reset spring is easily twisted because the middle part is not supported by other auxiliary components, the middle part of the wheel shaft spring 31 cannot be twisted or bent, so compared with the conventional reset spring driving the push body 21 to reset, the wheel shaft spring 31 is more reliable and has a longer service life, so that the push cannot be normally driven to reset, the reset spring does not need to be additionally arranged in the combination lock, thereby simplifying the internal structure of the combination lock and the assembly process of the combination lock, and solving the problem of the complex structure in the prior art. The overall structure of the combination lock is compact, the layout is reasonable, the unlocking and locking processes are smooth, the operation is fast and convenient, the experience of consumers is enhanced, and the convenience of the combination lock is improved.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited to the scope of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the present application.
