Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fingerprint padlock technology, and in particular to a method for improving the tensile strength of fingerprint padlocks. Background Technology

[0002] A padlock has a locking ring or "I"-shaped metal shank on its body, known as a "lock beam," which allows the padlock to directly engage with the lock body to form a closed lock. Due to its structural characteristics, the padlock is convenient, flexible, and versatile. It can replace other locks, but other locks cannot replace the function of a padlock. It is a relatively ideal security locking device. However, a padlock must engage with the convex perforated part of the object being locked to function as a lock; it does not have the function of being able to be opened and closed from the inside or outside. Therefore, it cannot be used in certain situations, such as in places with high decorative requirements or where matching locks are required. Padlocks are classified in various ways. The size of the padlock is determined by the width of the lock body, the height of the lock beam determines its purpose, and the opening method (straight-opening, side-opening, top-opening, double-opening, etc.) determines the series of the padlock. Commonly used padlocks generally employ straight-opening and side-opening methods. A top-opening padlock is a padlock that can be pulled upwards without rotation after the key is inserted into the keyhole. This type of padlock is especially suitable for people holding infants or carrying items that should not be left unattended. A double-opening padlock requires two keys to open; it offers strong security and is suitable for situations where two people are needed to both lock the padlock and open it, such as warehouses or vaults. Currently, fingerprint padlocks on the market are limited by technological limitations.

[0003] The bolt is typically made of die-cast zinc alloy. This allows for the creation of complex shapes at a lower cost, while still achieving both locking and unlocking mechanisms. However, in actual use, it has been found that die-cast zinc alloy bolts often develop noticeable dents when the bolt is under significant tension, either at the point where it jams against the bolt or where it is compressed by the steel ball. These dents create considerable resistance, preventing the motor from driving the bolt and thus preventing the lock from opening. This gives the user the impression that the lock cannot withstand significant tension, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a method to improve the tensile strength of fingerprint padlocks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for improving the tensile strength of a fingerprint padlock, the fingerprint padlock comprising a lock body, a lock beam at the top of the lock body, a motor rotating mechanism inside the lock body, a pusher connected to the motor rotating mechanism, a lock tongue connected to the pusher, a slide rail inside the lock body, a steel ball inside the slide rail, the steel ball cooperating with the lock tongue, a lock beam latch on the lock beam, the steel ball cooperating with the lock beam latch, a torsion spring inside the pusher, and a spring inside the lock body, the spring cooperating with the lock beam. The method includes the following steps: the motor rotating mechanism drives the pusher, causing the pusher to rotate within a certain angle range. When the pusher rotates, the latch assembled with it also rotates. After the latch rotates to a certain angle, the lock beam pushes the steel ball to the left under the force of the spring, thus unlocking. When the motor rotates and the mechanism resets, the pusher also resets under the torque of the torsion spring, and the latch mounted on the pusher also presses the steel ball to the right. When the lock beam is pressed back into the lock hole, the latch presses the steel ball back into the lock beam position, thus completing the locking action. The latch is made of stainless steel, which is harder than zinc alloy. The latch can improve the tensile strength of the fingerprint padlock.

[0007] Preferably, a fixed shell is fixedly installed on the top of the lock body, and rectangular sliding holes are provided on both sides of the fixed shell, with rectangular rods slidably installed in each of the two rectangular sliding holes.

[0008] Preferably, the locking beam has two rectangular slots, and one end of each of the two rectangular rods is respectively engaged with the two rectangular slots.

[0009] Preferably, two fixing blocks are fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the fixing shell, and bearings are fixedly installed on the bottom of each fixing block.

[0010] Preferably, the inner rings of both bearings are fixedly mounted with screws, one end of the two screws is fixedly connected, the threads on the two screws are in opposite directions, and the two screws are threadedly connected to two rectangular rods respectively.

[0011] Preferably, one end of each of the two rectangular rods is provided with a threaded groove, and the two screws are threadedly connected to the two threaded grooves respectively.

[0012] Preferably, a drive shaft is fixedly installed at the top of the locking tongue, and one end of the drive rod extends into the fixed housing and is fixedly installed with a first bevel gear.

[0013] Preferably, a second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear, and the second bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the screw. When the two rectangular rods are inserted into the two rectangular slots, the lock beam can be fixed, increasing the tensile strength of the lock beam. When the pusher rotates, it will drive the transmission shaft to rotate, the transmission shaft will drive the first bevel gear to rotate, the first bevel gear will drive the second bevel gear to rotate, and the second bevel gear will drive the screw to rotate, causing the two rectangular rods to move closer to each other, thereby causing the two rectangular rods to disengage from the two rectangular slots and releasing the fixation of the lock beam.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the method for improving the tensile strength of fingerprint padlocks described in this invention are as follows:

[0015] The motor rotation mechanism drives the pusher, which rotates within a certain angle range. When the pusher rotates, the latch assembled with it also rotates. After the latch rotates to a certain angle, the lock beam pushes the steel ball to the left under the spring force, thus unlocking. When the motor rotation mechanism resets, the pusher also resets under the torsion of the torsion spring, and the latch mounted on the pusher presses the steel ball to the right. When the lock beam is pressed back into the lock hole, the latch presses the steel ball back into the lock beam position, thus completing the locking action. The latch is made of stainless steel, which is harder than zinc alloy. The latch can improve the tensile strength of the fingerprint padlock.

[0016] When the two rectangular rods are inserted into the two rectangular slots, the lock beam can be fixed, increasing its tensile strength. When the pusher rotates, it will drive the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the screw to rotate, causing the two rectangular rods to move closer to each other and thus disengage from the two rectangular slots, releasing the lock beam from its fixation.

[0017] When the bolt of this invention is made of stainless steel 303, it can withstand a lot of pressure without causing dents. This ensures that the motor rotation mechanism can drive the bolt to rotate normally, achieving smooth unlocking. This not only ensures the normal function of the lock and extends its service life, but also improves the user experience and results in better quality. Attached Figure Description
