[0018] The present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figure 1The present invention includes a cover body capable of accommodating a lock, which is composed of an upper cover body 1, a middle cover body 2 and a lower cover body 3 connected to each other. The upper cover body 1 and the middle cover body 2 are rotatably connected by a hinge 4, and the middle cover body 2 and the lower cover body 3 are fixedly connected.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 The upper cover 1 is fixed with a lock body 5, which includes a lock core 5.1 and a lock tongue 5.2 fixedly connected to the lock core 5.1 and extending downward.

[0021] The lock body 5 of the upper cover 1 is also provided with a lock arm 5.3 which is fixedly connected to the lock cylinder 5.1 and the lock tongue 5.2 and can rotate synchronously. The side wall of the middle cover 2 is fixed with a lock buckle 5.4 which can be locked by the lock arm 5.3 (refer to Figure 1 ).

[0022] Reference Figures 3 to 5 A coin outlet 6 is provided at the bottom of the lower cover body 3, and a sliding door 7 is provided above the coin outlet 6, which can be moved back and forth to open or close the coin outlet 6. One side of the sliding door 7 is fixedly connected to an upward hook lock bracket 8, and a tension spring 9 is provided on the hook lock bracket 8 to act on the sliding door 7 to reset after opening. A hook lock plane 10 parallel to the surface of the sliding door 7 extends from the upper part of the hook lock bracket 8, and a lock port 11 that can fall into the hook lock roller 18 is provided at one end of the hook lock plane 10.

[0023] A mounting base 12 is also fixed at the bottom of the lower cover body 3, and the mounting base 12 is rotatably connected to a linkage rod 13. The upper end of the linkage rod 13 extends to the upper cover body 1 and is inserted into the locking tongue 5.2. A vertical dial column 15 that can act on one end of the rocker arm 14 is fixed at the lower end of the linkage rod 13.

[0024] The rocker arm 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 12 via a torsion spring 16 and a rotating shaft 17. A hook lock roller 18 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the rocker arm 14. In addition, a convex-concave surface 19 extends to one side from the lock opening 11 of the hook lock plane 10. The notch 19.1 of the convex-concave surface 19 enables the hook lock roller 18 to fall into it after being unlocked.

[0025] A cover shell 20 is fixedly disposed in the lower cover 3 to facilitate the entry of coins and to shield the sliding door 7 .

[0026] A socket 22 is provided on one side of the lower cover 3 for inserting a latch 21 to push the hook lock bracket 8 .

[0027] The present invention is only a door lock device for the upper cover of the recycling box, and when used, it should also be combined with the recycling box body (not shown in the figure). The present invention only needs one lock to complete the upper and lower locking linkage to realize the safety function of the coin recycling box.

[0028] Specifically, when the key is inserted into the lock body 5 and rotated to unlock it, the lock arm 5.3 is disengaged from the lock catch 5.4, and the upper cover body 1 is connected to the middle cover body 2 through the hinge 4. At this time, the upper cover body 1 can be flipped open.

[0029] The middle cover 2 and the lower cover 3 are fixed by screws. There are four inclined surfaces on the bottom to guide coins to the coin outlet 6. In addition, there is a triangular avoidance area in one corner of the box, which is used to make necessary space for the linkage rod 13.

[0030] The lower cover 3 is the key to the locking linkage mechanism. When the key is used to unlock the lock body 5 of the upper cover 1, the key is unlocked and rotated, and the lock tongue 5.2 also rotates and drives the inserted linkage rod 13 to rotate synchronously.

[0031] At this time, the vertical lever 15 on the linkage rod 13 in the lower cover body 3 acts on one end of the rocker 14, and the rocker 14 rotates counterclockwise, so that the hook lock roller 18 on the rocker 14 moves out of the lock hole 11 at one end of the hook lock plane 10 and falls into the notch 19.1 of the convex-concave surface 19 extending on one side to wait for further action (refer to Figure 6 ), at this time, the sliding door 7 has been unlocked, but is still in a closed state.

[0032] When the recycling box is placed in the device, the special latch 21 is inserted into the socket 22 of the lower cover 3 to push the hook lock bracket 8 to move. At this time, the hook lock roller 18 moves out of the recess 19.1, passes over the convex surface of the convex-concave surface 19 and falls on the flat surface on the side of the hook lock plane 10. The sliding door 7 is opened and the recycled coins can fall into the recycling box (refer to Figure 7 ).

[0033] When the recycling box reaches the storage capacity, the recycling box is taken out of the device, the latch 21 is withdrawn from the socket 22 of the lower cover 3, and the sliding door 7 is closed under the action of the tension spring 9. At this time, the hook lock roller 18 falls into the lock hole 11 at one end of the hook lock plane 10 (refer to Figure 8 ), the sliding door 7 is locked and cannot be opened again.

[0034] Therefore, the present invention can unlock the upper cover 1 and the coin slot sliding door 7 in the lower cover 3 at the same time, and the coin slot sliding door 7 cooperates with the linkage rod 13 and other components to form a single-use unlocking mechanism.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to this specific embodiment. For those skilled in the art, simple copying and modification without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
