[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an anti-theft lock device for a control box, including a supporting cylinder 1, a locking shaft 2, a rolling shaft 3, multiple rolling balls 4, and a key 5; a baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the supporting cylinder 1; the locking shaft 2 is connected to the supporting cylinder 1; the rolling shaft 3 includes a shaft body 31 and specific screws 32, the shaft body 31 is rotatably connected to the supporting cylinder 1, and multiple threaded holes 33 are arranged at intervals on the circumference of the shaft body 31, and the multiple specific screws 32 are threadedly connected to the multiple threaded holes 33 one by one; the rolling balls 4 are disposed between the locking shaft 2 and the rolling shaft 3, and one end of the rolling ball 4 abuts against the locking shaft 2, and the other end of the rolling ball 4 abuts against the rolling shaft 3; the key 5 includes a key bar 51 and a key head 52 connected to the key bar 51, the key head 52 is used to cooperate with the specific screws 32; wherein, the specific screw 32 has a connecting part 321, the connecting part 321 is a bevel gear, and the key head 52 is a bevel gear that can mesh with the connecting part 321 of each specific screw 32. Specifically, the bevel gear on the key head 52 should be designed to match the bevel gear on the connecting part 321, so as to achieve meshing between the two.

[0037] Preferably, the key head 52 includes a plurality of bevel gear segments 521 and a drive assembly. The plurality of bevel gear segments 521 are slidably connected to the key bar 51, and the output end of the drive assembly is connected to the bevel gear segments 521. The drive assembly can drive the bevel gear segments 521 to open and close radially.

[0038] Preferably, both the locking shaft 2 and the rolling shaft 3 are provided with grooves, and the rolling ball 4 is received in the grooves.

[0039] Preferably, the length of the connecting part 321 is greater than the gap width between the locking shaft 2 and the rolling shaft 3.

[0040] Preferably, the supporting cylinder 1, the locking shaft 2, and the rolling shaft 3 are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has a certain degree of structural toughness.

[0041] Preferably, there are eight specific screws 32, and the connecting portions of the eight specific screws 32 together form a keyhole 34.

[0042] Preferably, the anti-theft lock device applied to the control box also includes a cabinet and a cabinet door. The supporting column 1 is connected to the cabinet door. In the locked state, the baffle 11 abuts against the cabinet so that the cabinet door is locked to the cabinet. In the open state, the baffle 11 does not contact the cabinet.

[0043] Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for using an anti-theft lock device applied to a control box according to any of the above-mentioned technical solutions, comprising the following steps:

[0044] Insert the key 5 into the roller 3, and make the key head 52 engage with the specific screw 32;

[0045] Turning key 5 causes a specific screw 32 to rotate, and the specific screw 32 moves along the axial direction.

[0046] The end of a specific screw 32 abuts against the lock shaft 2, and the key 5 drives the lock shaft 2 to rotate;

[0047] The baffle 11 rotates with the locking shaft 2, and unlocks after rotating to a preset angle.

[0048] Specifically, with Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment is used as an example. In use, the key 5 is inserted into the rolling shaft 3, so that the key head 52 engages with the connecting parts 321 of the eight specific screws 32 (i.e., the bevel gears on the key 5 mesh with the bevel gears on the eight specific screws 32 respectively). Due to the balance of forces, the forces on the two oppositely positioned specific screws 32 cancel each other out. At this time, the rolling shaft 3 does not rotate, and the specific screws 32 rotate along the threads and extend into the cavity between the rolling shaft 3 and the lock shaft 2. Continue to screw the key 5 in, and expand the key head 52, so that the three bevel gear petals 521 of the key head 52 move outward and expand, so as to achieve constant engagement between the bevel gear petals 521 and the connecting parts 321. When the key 5 is rotated a certain number of times, the ends of the eight specific screws 32 abut against the inner wall of the lock shaft 2. At this time, since the specific screws 32 can no longer move forward, under the action of friction, continuing to turn the key 5 will drive the lock shaft 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the supporting cylinder 1 to rotate (i.e., drives the baffle to rotate), so that the baffle is disengaged from the position limiting the cabinet door, and the lock is unlocked. After opening, the eight specific screws 32 need to be reset with a specific key.

[0049] A damping ring is provided at the connection between the rolling shaft 3 and the supporting cylinder 1. The damping ring can provide a damping force for the rotation of the rolling shaft 3. When the key 5 is inserted into the rolling shaft 3, the damping force can prevent the rolling shaft 3 from rotating prematurely due to the key 5 failing to cooperate with the connecting part 321, so as to provide sufficient buffer time for the rolling shaft 3 and the connecting part 321 to cooperate and complete the connection.

[0050] When the key 5 is incorrect, the key inserted into the roller 3 can only drive the roller 3 to rotate, and cannot unlock the device, thus achieving the anti-theft function.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
