Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a switch lock, in particular to a main switch lock for a motorcycle which can be controlled by an induction key or a physical key. Background Art

[0002] Electric vehicles are lightweight, pollution-free and noise-free, and are a means of transportation that meets current environmental standards. In recent years, both fuel- and electric-powered motorcycles have developed inductive motorcycle master locks that are paired with keyless start systems to replace key-type motorcycle master locks that are controlled by physical keys.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned existing motorcycle main switch lock can only be operated by an induction key. If the power of the motorcycle main switch lock is exhausted and cannot be charged in time, the user will not be able to open the energy box cover or the storage box cover, resulting in poor convenience.

[0004] In view of this, the current main switch lock of motorcycles still needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a motorcycle main switch lock, even if the motorcycle main switch lock is in a power-off state, the user can still use a physical key to open the energy box cover or the storage box cover.

[0006] A second object of the present invention is to provide a motorcycle main switch lock that is easy to assemble.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a motorcycle main switch lock that is easy to use.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a motorcycle main switch lock that is easy to manufacture.

[0009] The directions or their approximate terms described throughout the present invention, such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up (top)", "down (bottom)", "inside", "outside", "side", etc., mainly refer to the directions of the accompanying drawings, and each direction or its approximate terms are only used to assist in the explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0010] In the present invention, the axial direction of the lock bolt is defined as the Y direction, and the Y direction is the front and rear direction, the X direction is the left and right direction, and the Z direction is the top and bottom direction; in addition, the directions or their approximate terms such as "inside", "outside", "side" and the like described in the present invention are mainly referred to the directions of the drawings, and the directions or their approximate terms are only used to assist in the description and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0011] The elements and components described throughout the present invention use the quantifiers "a" or "an" for convenience only and to provide a general meaning of the scope of the present invention; they should be interpreted in the present invention as including one or at least one, and a single concept also includes plural cases, unless it is obvious that it means otherwise.

[0012] The similar terms such as "combination", "assembly" or "assembly" mentioned throughout the present invention mainly include the connection that can be separated without damaging the components, or the connection that makes the components inseparable. Those skilled in the art can choose according to the materials of the components to be connected or the assembly requirements.

[0013] The main switch lock of a motorcycle of the present invention comprises: a lock body having a main shell seat, a receiving chamber located in the main shell seat, the lock body having a passage connected to the receiving chamber; a linkage module located in the receiving chamber, the linkage module having a linkage member; a lock core assembly combined with the lock body, the lock core assembly having a sleeve sleeved outside a spindle, the spindle having a locking hole, the spindle having a coupling column coupled to the linkage member, the inner circumference of the sleeve having at least one control groove for a control member of the spindle to extend into, and the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve having at least two locking grooves; and a locking module located in the main shell seat, the locking module having a locking member inserted into one of the locking grooves of the sleeve.

[0014] Therefore, the motorcycle main switch lock of the present invention utilizes the lock core assembly to have the core shaft and the sleeve, and the sleeve is sleeved outside the core shaft; in this way, even if the motorcycle main switch lock is in a power-off state, the user can still use a physical key to insert the lock hole so that at least one control member of the core shaft does not extend into the control groove, so that the core shaft can be pivoted or pressed down relative to the sleeve, so as to open the energy box cover or the storage box cover, which has the effect of improving the convenience of use.

[0015] The sleeve may have at least two arc surfaces, each of which is adjacent to each locking groove, and the locking member may move to the next locking groove via the arc surface. Thus, even if the main switch of the motorcycle of the present invention is in the disconnecting mode, it can still be easily switched to the locking mode, which is convenient for operation.

[0016] Each arc surface can be aligned with the upper half of each locking groove. Thus, when the lock core assembly is pressed down and pivoted, the locking member can easily slide from the upper half of the locking groove to the arc surface, which has the effect of making the locking member move smoothly.

[0017] The lock body may have a stop ring located in the chamber, the mandrel may have at least one protrusion connected to the outer circumferential surface of the coupling column, and the at least one protrusion may be located in the stop ring. In this way, the mandrel and the stop ring have a simple structure and are easy to assemble, and have the effect of convenient assembly.

[0018] The lock core assembly may have a knob connected to the spindle and the upper end of the sleeve, so that the knob can be exposed outside the vehicle body for the user to hold and manipulate the pivot, which is convenient to use.

[0019] The knob and the mandrel can be combined via a fixing member, so that the mandrel can be driven by the knob to synchronously pivot or move, which is convenient for operation.

[0020] The lower end of the coupling column may have a linkage portion, and the linkage portion is coupled to a first coupling portion at the upper end of the linkage member, so that the coupling column can link the linkage member to pivot synchronously.

[0021] Each control member may be combined with a reset element, so that each control member can be driven by the reset element to protrude from the through hole of the mandrel, or the reset element can be compressed so that each control member does not protrude from the through hole, thereby making each control member operate smoothly.

[0022] The sleeve may have an axial hole for the core shaft to penetrate, and each control groove may be connected to the axial hole. Thus, the sleeve has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, and has the effect of convenient manufacturing.

[0023] The lock body may have a pin hole connected to the channel, and the locking member may extend from the pin hole to penetrate into one of the locking grooves of the sleeve, or the locking member may be retracted into the pin hole without engaging the locking groove of the sleeve. In this way, when the user leaves the vehicle, it is possible to prevent anyone from pivoting the knob to operate the vehicle, thereby achieving a better anti-theft effect.

[0024] The linkage module may have a base, the linkage member is formed inside the base, and the base is assembled into the chamber. In this way, the base can be used to form the linkage member structure, so that the base can be more easily processed and manufactured, and the linkage module can be pre-assembled and then installed in the main housing, which has the effect of convenient manufacturing and assembly.

[0025] The control member may be a sheet lock, and the mandrel may have a through hole located on the outer circumferential surface of the coupling column, and the through hole may be used to accommodate the sheet lock. In this way, when a physical key is inserted into the lock hole, the sheet lock may be retracted into the through hole without extending into the control groove, which is convenient for manufacturing.

[0026] The linkage module may include a displacement plate combined with a locking bolt, and the linkage member may penetrate the displacement plate. Thus, the linkage module has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, and has the effect of convenient manufacturing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are listed below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings; in addition, those marked with the same symbols in different drawings are regarded as the same and their descriptions are omitted.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, it is a preferred embodiment of the main switch lock of a motorcycle of the present invention, comprising a lock body 1, a linkage module 2, a lock core group 3 and a locking module 4, the linkage module 2 is located in the lock body 1, the lock core group 3 is combined with the lock body 1, and the locking module 4 is located in the lock body 1.

[0030] The lock body 1 may have a main housing 11, and the main housing 11 may be opened at the bottom to facilitate assembly of the linkage module 2. The lock body 1 has a chamber S located in the main housing 11, and a set 12 of the lock body 1 may be located above the main housing 11 and extend along the Z direction, and the set 12 has a passage P, which is connected to the chamber S. The lock body 1 may have a pin hole 13, which is located in the main housing 11 and can be connected to the passage P.

[0031] The lock body 1 may have a limit ring 14, which is located in the chamber S, and the limit ring 14 may be combined with the main housing seat 11. The inner circumference of the limit ring 14 may have a plurality of spaced limit blocks 15, each of which is generally L-shaped. In other embodiments, the plurality of limit blocks 15 may also be integrally connected to the inner surface of the main housing seat 11, so it is not limited to the form disclosed in the drawings of this embodiment, as long as the plurality of limit blocks 15 can be located in the main housing seat 11 to form necessary restrictions on the operation of the lock core assembly 3.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the linkage module 2 is located in the chamber S. The linkage module 2 can be any mechanism driven by the lock core assembly 3. The present invention does not limit the form of the linkage module 2. In this embodiment, the linkage module 2 can have a displacement plate 21 and a lock bolt 22. The displacement plate 21 can be disposed in the chamber S in a displaceable manner along the Y direction. The displacement plate 21 can have a through-shaped slot 211. One end of the lock bolt 22 can be combined with the displacement plate 21, and the other end of the lock bolt 22 is located outside the main housing seat 11. When the displacement plate 21 is actuated, it can drive the lock bolt 22 to move along the Y direction, so that the lock bolt 22 can be moved to an extended latch position and lock the handle of the vehicle, so that the handle of the vehicle cannot be pivoted, or can be moved to a retracted unlock position so that the handle of the vehicle can be pivoted again.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the linkage module 2 has a linkage member 23, which can penetrate the displacement plate 21 and axially correspond to the channel P of the set 12. The linkage member 23 can have a first joint portion 231 and a second joint portion 232 opposite to each other, the first joint portion 231 can be located in the chamber S, the first joint portion 231 is combined with the position where the lock core assembly 3 penetrates the channel P, and the second joint portion 232 can be embedded in a control seat C; the linkage member 23 can be driven by the lock core assembly 3 to pivot or be pressed down and then pivoted.

[0034] The structure inside the lock body 1 for positioning or limiting the linkage 23 can be formed by the inner wall of the main housing 11, for example, the linkage 23 is integrally formed and connected with the inner wall of the main housing 11. Alternatively, as shown in the drawings of the present embodiment, the linkage module 2 can be provided with a base 24, the circumferential shape of the base 24 can roughly match the chamber S, so that the base 24 can be assembled into the chamber S and is unlikely to rotate relative to the main housing 11; the interior of the base 24 can be used to form the aforementioned linkage 23 structure, so that the base 24 can be more easily processed and manufactured, and the linkage module 2 can be pre-assembled and then installed into the main housing 11, which helps to improve the convenience of assembly.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the lock core assembly 3 penetrates into the passage P of the set 12. The lock core assembly 3 has a core shaft 3a and a sleeve 3b. The sleeve 3b is sleeved outside the core shaft 3a. The core shaft 3a has a coupling column 31. The lower end of the coupling column 31 may have a linkage portion 311. The coupling column 31 can penetrate into the passage P of the set 12, and the linkage portion 311 is coupled to the first coupling portion 231 at the upper end of the linkage member 23, so that the coupling column 31 can link the linkage member 23 to pivot synchronously. For example but not limited to, the cross section of the first coupling portion 231 can be non-circular, and the linkage portion 311 of the coupling column 31 can form a hole that matches the first coupling portion 231, so that the linkage portion 311 of the coupling column 31 can fit the first coupling portion 231 of the linkage member 23.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig. 9 As shown, the core shaft 3a may have at least one protrusion 32, and the at least one protrusion 32 may pivot with the coupling column 31 to generate angular displacement between the plurality of limit blocks 15. In this embodiment, the number of the protrusions 32 may be two, and the two protrusions 32 may be connected to the outer circumferential surface of the coupling column 31. The two protrusions 32 are generally diametrically opposed, and the two protrusions 32 may be located in the limit ring 14. When the coupling column 31 is not pressed down, the coupling column 31 and the linkage 23 may be located in a non-pressed position respectively, and the two protrusions 32 may be located in the upper half (such as Figure 3 When the coupling column 31 is pivoted to a specific position relative to the stop ring 14, the coupling column 31 can be pressed down, and the two protrusions 32 can pass through the gap between the two stop blocks 15 and come to the lower half of the stop ring 14 (as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 At this time, the combining column 31 and the linking member 23 can be located at a pressing position respectively.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8As shown, the spindle 3a may also have a lock hole 33, which may be located at the upper end of the coupling column 31, and the lock hole 33 may be used for inserting a physical key K. In addition, the spindle 3a may have at least one through hole 34, which may be located on the outer circumferential surface of the coupling column 31, and the at least one through hole 34 may be used to accommodate at least one control member 35 of the spindle 3a; in this embodiment, the number of the through holes 34 may be multiple. Among them, the control member 35 may be an existing lock plate, a pin bead, a row of plate lock, etc. In this embodiment, the control member 35 is described as a row of plate lock, and the row of plate lock is accommodated in the through hole 34. Preferably, the number of the control member 35 may be multiple, and each control member 35 may be respectively combined with a reset element R, and the reset element R may be an existing spring, etc. When the physical key K is not inserted into the lock hole 33, each control member 35 can be driven by the reset element R so that each control member 35 can protrude from the through hole 34 (such as Figure 5 When the physical key K is inserted into the lock hole 33, the reset element R can be compressed (as shown); Figure 8 As shown), each control member 35 does not protrude from the through hole 34.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the sleeve 3b may have an axial hole H, and the mandrel 3a may be inserted into the axial hole H, so that the sleeve 3b can be sleeved outside the mandrel 3a. The sleeve 3b has at least two locking grooves 36, and the at least two locking grooves 36 can be symmetrically arranged. In this embodiment, the number of the locking grooves 36 can be four, and each locking groove 36 can be located on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 3b, and each locking groove 36 is generally radially opposite. The sleeve 3b may have at least two arc surfaces 37. In this embodiment, the number of the arc surfaces 37 can be four, and each arc surface 37 can be adjacent to each locking groove 36, and each arc surface 37 is aligned with the upper half of each locking groove 36.

[0039] Furthermore, the inner circumference of the sleeve 3b has at least one control groove 38. In this embodiment, the number of the control grooves 38 may be four, each of which may be connected to the shaft hole H, and each of which is used for the control member 35 of the mandrel 3a to extend into. When each of the control members 35 of the mandrel 3a protrudes out of the through hole 34, each of the control members 35 may extend into each of the control grooves 38 of the sleeve 3b; when each of the control members 35 of the mandrel 3a does not protrude out of the through hole 34, each of the control members 35 may not extend into each of the control grooves 38 of the sleeve 3b.

[0040] The lock core assembly 3 may also have a knob 3c, which is connected to the upper ends of the spindle 3a and the sleeve 3b, and the knob 3c may be exposed outside the vehicle body so that the user can hold and manipulate the pivot. The knob 3c and the spindle 3a may be directly or indirectly combined so that the knob 3c and the spindle 3a can be synchronously pivoted or displaced; in this embodiment, the knob 3c and the spindle 3a may be combined through a fixing member F so that the spindle 3a can be driven by the knob 3c to synchronously pivot or displace, so as to switch the operation mode or open the energy box cover or the storage box cover.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the locking module 4 is located on the main housing 11, and the locking module 4 has a power element 41 that can be controlled to start, and as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, a locking member 42 is controlled to extend from the pin hole 13 to penetrate into one of the locking grooves 36 of the sleeve 3b, thereby locking the sleeve 3b so that it cannot rotate; thus, when the user leaves the vehicle, it is prevented from pivoting the knob 3c to control the vehicle. Figure 6 The pin is retracted into the pin hole 13 without engaging the locking groove 36 of the sleeve 3b, thereby making the sleeve 3b unlocked and rotatable.

[0042] The motorcycle main switch lock of this embodiment can have three operation modes, namely, an on mode, an off mode (vehicle off) and a locked mode. In the off mode, the power element 41 of the locking module 4 is controlled (e.g., by remote control) to drive the locking member 42 to extend, and Figure 5 As shown, the locking member 42 is inserted into the locking groove 36 corresponding to the sleeve 3b to achieve locking so that the sleeve 3b cannot rotate. When switching to the on mode, the locking member 42 is only located in the pin hole 13 (such as Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 4 , the locking member 42 does not engage the locking groove 36 of the sleeve 3 b, so that the sleeve 3 b is not locked and can rotate.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, when the main switch of the motorcycle of this embodiment is in the disconnection mode, the locking member 42 is located at the lower half of the locking groove 36. Then, when the lock core assembly 3 is pressed down, the locking member 42 is located at the upper half of the locking groove 36. Since each arc surface 37 is aligned with the upper half of each locking groove 36, when the lock core assembly 3 is pivoted counterclockwise in the pressed state, the locking member 42 can move to the next locking groove 36 via the arc surface 37, that is, the disconnection mode can be switched to the locking mode. That is, during the process of the counterclockwise pivoting of the coupling column 31 at the pressed position, the linkage member 23 at the pressed position can push the displacement plate 21, so that the displacement plate 21 is displaced in the chamber S along the Y direction, so that the lock bolt 22 extends from the unlatched position to the latched position to lock the handlebar of the vehicle.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in addition, the motorcycle main switch lock of the present invention can be operated by an induction key or a physical key. If the motorcycle main switch lock is in a power-off state, that is, the user cannot use the induction key to open the energy box cover or the storage box cover. At this time, even if the locking member 42 is inserted into one of the locking grooves 36 of the sleeve 3b (such as Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 3 ), the sleeve 3b cannot rotate. The user can insert the physical key K into the lock hole 33. After the physical key K is inserted, the multiple control members 35 of the spindle 3a can be retracted into the multiple through holes 34 without extending into the control slot 38. Then, the user can control the spindle 3a through the knob 3c, so that the spindle 3a can pivot or press down relative to the sleeve 3b (as shown in FIG. 3 ). Fig. 9 to open the energy box cover or storage box cover.

[0045] In summary, the motorcycle main switch lock of the present invention utilizes the lock core assembly to have the core shaft and the sleeve, and the sleeve is sleeved outside the core shaft; in this way, even if the motorcycle main switch lock is in a power-off state, the user can still use a physical key to insert the lock hole so that at least one control member of the core shaft does not extend into the control groove, so that the core shaft can be pivoted or pressed down relative to the sleeve, so as to open the energy box cover or the storage box cover, which has the effect of improving the convenience of use.
