Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of remote vehicle locking technology, specifically a remote vehicle locking device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the times, bicycles have become a major mode of transportation for short-distance travel. Due to increasingly severe urban traffic congestion, which causes considerable inconvenience, people often choose bicycles for short trips. This not only avoids congestion and alleviates urban traffic pressure but also provides exercise and is environmentally friendly. To ensure safe parking of bicycles, many are now equipped with anti-theft locks; however, some users still forget to lock their bikes after riding, making them prone to theft.

[0003] CN214532411U discloses a remote-controlled bicycle lock structure, including a ring-shaped housing comprising a ring portion and a trapezoidal portion. A lock cylinder is placed within the ring portion, and a first connecting iron block is provided on the lock cylinder. A fixing ring is welded and fixed to the left side of the ring portion. A first spring is placed between the first connecting iron block and the fixing ring. A first electromagnet is installed within the ring portion. A lock opening is carved in the middle of the lock cylinder, and a lock buckle is placed within the lock opening. A second connecting iron block is welded and fixed to the top of the lock buckle, and a second electromagnet is located above the second connecting iron block. The trapezoidal portion has a top cavity, a middle cavity, and a bottom cavity. A second spring is provided between the second electromagnet and the second connecting iron block. An MCU and a wireless receiving module are installed in the middle cavity, and a battery is glued and fixed inside the top cavity. The device has a simple structure and low cost.

[0004] However, the device has the following shortcomings. The device releases the restraint on the reinforced lock cylinder by powering the second electromagnet, causing it to pop out of the housing to achieve remote locking of the wheels. However, in actual operation, after locking the car, the reinforced lock cylinder is not further tightened, which makes it easy to loosen and retract into the housing under external force, resulting in poor overall security and unsatisfactory locking effect.

[0005] To address these issues, the present invention provides a remote vehicle locking device. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a remote vehicle locking device that solves the aforementioned problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a remote vehicle locking device, comprising a ring lock frame, one end of the ring lock frame having a locking groove, the other end of the ring lock frame away from the locking groove having a receiving groove, a first spring being fixedly connected in the receiving groove, one end of the first spring being fixedly connected to a reinforced lock core, one end of the reinforced lock core being slidably extended into the locking groove, and the ring lock frame being provided with a locking mechanism for providing double fastening to the reinforced lock core;

[0008] The locking mechanism includes two fastening grooves formed on the reinforced lock cylinder. A housing is fixedly connected to the annular lock frame. A positioning sleeve is connected through the inner wall of the receiving groove. One end of the positioning sleeve extends into the housing. A locking pin is slidably inserted into the inner side of the positioning sleeve. The bottom end of the locking pin slides into the corresponding fastening groove. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the locking pin. A moving plate is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the moving plate. Two slots are formed on one side of the connecting block. A sliding rod is provided inside the housing. A fixing cylinder is slidably sleeved on the sliding rod. One end of the fixing cylinder slides into the corresponding slot.

[0009] Preferably, a drive assembly is provided inside the housing. The drive assembly includes a toothed plate fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate. A first motor is fixedly connected inside the housing, and a drive gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor. The drive gear meshes with the toothed plate. A force-bearing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed cylinder. A second motor is fixedly connected inside the housing, and a cam is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor. The cam contacts the force-bearing plate. The toothed plate, the first motor, and the drive gear work together to easily control the movable plate to rise and fall, thereby controlling the locking pin to move in and out of the fastening slot. At the same time, the force-bearing plate, the second motor, and the cam work together to easily drive the fixed cylinder to move, facilitating its disengagement from the slot, thereby enabling the movable plate to rise and fall.

[0010] Preferably, a partition is fixedly connected inside the housing, one end of the slide rod is connected to the partition, and a second spring is slidably sleeved on the slide rod. One end of the second spring is connected to the fixed cylinder, and the other end of the second spring is connected to the partition. The partition can conveniently support the slide rod, so that the fixed cylinder can move normally. At the same time, the second spring can provide pressure to the fixed cylinder, so that it is always pressed against the slot, and can drive it to quickly return to its original position after it is disengaged from the slot.

[0011] Preferably, an anti-deviation rod is fixedly connected to one side of the force plate, and one end of the anti-deviation rod slides through the partition. The anti-deviation rod allows the force plate to slide horizontally, preventing the force plate from deflecting after the cam contacts it, which would cause it to detach from the cam and be unable to move normally, thus preventing the fixed cylinder from working properly.

[0012] Preferably, the movable plate has a positioning groove, and a positioning rod is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the housing. The bottom end of the positioning rod slides into the positioning groove, and a baffle is fixedly sleeved on the positioning rod. The positioning groove, positioning rod and baffle are used together to facilitate the smooth movement of the movable plate and limit its movement distance, so as to facilitate its normal operation.

[0013] Preferably, a first proximity switch is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning sleeve, a second proximity switch is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle, two identification posts are fixedly connected to the partition, a third proximity switch is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing cylinder, and a fourth proximity switch is fixedly connected to the locking groove. The first and second proximity switches can detect whether the position of the locking pin is locked to the reinforced lock cylinder. At the same time, the third proximity switch can detect whether the position of the fixing cylinder is locked to the locking pin, and the fourth proximity switch can detect whether the reinforced lock cylinder is inserted into the locking groove, which facilitates the detection of the working status of relevant parts for vehicle locking operations.

[0014] Preferably, a battery, a wireless transmission device, a data storage device, a central control unit, and a GPS positioning device are all fixedly connected inside the housing. The battery provides convenient power to the relevant electronic components, the wireless transmission device facilitates wireless connection with the backend server for information transmission, the data storage device stores relevant data, the central control unit allows for easy control of the relevant electrical components to perform vehicle locking operations, and the GPS positioning device allows for easy detection of the vehicle's movement status and location.

[0015] Preferably, a reminder seat is fixedly connected to the top of the housing, two flashing lights are fixedly connected to the reminder seat, and a speaker is fixedly connected to the reminder seat. The reminder seat, flashing lights and speaker are used together to conveniently remind the user of the vehicle's locking status, and the reminder is more effective in both visual and auditory aspects.

[0016] Preferably, the inner wall of the receiving groove is provided with a pull opening, and a pull handle is fixedly connected to the reinforced lock cylinder. One end of the pull handle slides out of the pull opening. The pull opening and the pull handle are used together to facilitate unlocking the vehicle. The reinforced lock cylinder can be re-stored into the receiving groove after the locking pin is disengaged from the fastening groove.

[0017] Preferably, a protective cover is provided on one side of the housing, and support frames are fixedly connected to both outer walls of the housing. The protective cover allows for easy opening of the housing to inspect and maintain the relevant components, preventing damage to the internal components that would hinder disassembly and affect maintenance efficiency. The support frames allow the housing to be installed on the vehicle frame, facilitating the operation of the ring lock frame.

[0018] Beneficial effects

[0019] This invention provides a remote vehicle locking device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0020] (1) The remote locking device can provide a double locking effect for the reinforced lock cylinder through the locking mechanism. After the remote locking operation is completed, the reinforced lock cylinder can always be inserted into the locking groove to prevent it from retracting into the receiving groove under external pulling force, thus effectively improving the locking effect. At the same time, the steel shell, ring lock frame and reinforced lock cylinder can prevent them from being cut off and losing the locking effect to a certain extent, thus improving the overall strength.

[0021] (2) The remote locking device can detect whether the position of the locking pin is locked to the reinforced lock cylinder by the first and second proximity switches, and can detect whether the position of the fixed cylinder is locked by the third proximity switch. It can also detect whether the reinforced lock cylinder is inserted into the locking groove by the fourth proximity switch, so as to facilitate the detection of the working status of the relevant parts for locking operation.

[0022] (3) The remote vehicle locking device can remotely send vehicle information to the user's mobile terminal through the set wireless transmission equipment, GPS positioning equipment, data storage equipment and central control unit, and can remind the user of the vehicle's location information and vehicle status, so as to facilitate the user to remotely lock the vehicle and prevent the vehicle from being lost.

[0038] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0039] The central control unit 36, the first motor 17, the second motor 20, the first proximity switch 28, the second proximity switch 29, the third proximity switch 31, the fourth proximity switch 32, the battery 33, the wireless transmission device 34, the data storage device 35, the central control unit 36, the GPS positioning device 37, the flashing light 39, and the speaker 40 are all electrically connected. At the same time, the wireless transmission device 34 can remotely transmit data information to the back-end server and establish a remote connection with the APP on the user's mobile terminal, so as to facilitate the issuance of remote vehicle locking commands.

[0040] Working principle: When the GPS positioning device 37 detects that the vehicle has been stationary for a long time, and the fourth proximity switch 32 does not detect that the reinforced lock cylinder 5 is inserted into the locking slot 2, the central control unit 36 ​​sends a lock command to the user's mobile terminal via the wireless transmission device 34. After the user receives the command and responds that the vehicle needs to be locked, the central control unit 36 ​​starts the second motor 20. The second motor 20 drives the cam 21 to rotate clockwise. During the rotation of the cam 21, it will press the force plate 19, causing the force plate 19 to drive the fixed cylinder 15 out of the slot 13 and press the second spring 23. When the third proximity switch 31 moves above the left-side recognition post 30, it will... The central control unit 36 ​​reports that the fixed cylinder 15 has completely disengaged from the slot 13. At this point, the second motor 20 stops working and the first motor 17 starts. The first motor 17 drives the drive gear 18 to rotate, and the drive gear 18 drives the toothed plate 16, which meshes with it, to move upward until the top of the moving plate 11 approaches the second proximity switch 29. The second proximity switch 29 then reports back to the central control unit 36. At this point, the locking pin 9 disengages from the fastening slot 6, the first motor 17 stops working, and the reinforced lock cylinder 5 is pushed outward by the spring force of the first spring 4 until it is inserted into the locking slot 2. At this point, the fourth proximity switch 32 detects the insertion of the reinforced lock cylinder 5 and reports back to the central control unit 36. At this point, the central control unit 36 ​​restarts the first motor 17, causing the moving plate 11 to descend until the locking pin 9 is inserted into the fastening slot 6 and approaches the first proximity switch 28. The first proximity switch 28 then sends feedback to the central control unit 36, which then controls the first motor 17 to stop working and starts the second motor 20. The second motor 20 drives the cam 21 to reset, and the second spring 23, after losing pressure, drives the fixing cylinder 15 to insert into the corresponding slot 13 under its own elastic force. The third proximity switch 31 moves to the top of the right-side identification post 30. At this point, the entire locking operation is completed, and a double locking effect is applied to the reinforced lock cylinder 5. When the locking is complete... Afterwards, the central control unit 36 ​​controls the flashing light 39 to remain constantly green, and conversely, to flash red, making it easier for users to determine whether the car has been locked at night. At the same time, it can control the speaker 40 to broadcast a voice reminder after the car has been locked. When the user needs to use the vehicle, they can use the unlock command at the bottom of the mobile terminal. At this time, the relevant electrical components will operate repeatedly to disengage the locking pin 9 from the fastening groove 6. The user can then pull the handle 42 upwards, which will pull the reinforced lock cylinder 5 counterclockwise to retract the reinforced lock cylinder 5 back into the storage groove 3 and compress the first spring 4. Then, the user can use the command below to move the locking pin 9 down and re-insert it into the aligned fastening groove 6. At this time, the vehicle can be unlocked.
