DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present solution, the applicable scenarios of the steel cable quick locking and unlocking mechanism and the steel cable lock provided by the present invention are first explained. In the related art, there is a double-locked password storage box, which includes a storage box 2 and a steel cable lock. The storage box 2 includes a box body 21 and a cover body 22, and the cover body 22 can be buckled at the opening of the box body 21. The box body 21 and the cover body 22 are locked by a password lock 23 or other types of mechanical locks. The box body 21 and the cover body 22 are locked to some rod-like structures by the steel cable lock described in the present application to avoid loss. That is, in some embodiments, the object to be locked in the following embodiments is the cover body 22.

[0033] Combine the following Figures 1 to 11 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] The present invention provides a steel cable quick locking and unlocking mechanism, comprising: a plug 11 constructed at the end of a steel cable 1, a steel cable brake bracket 4, a steel cable brake 5, an elastic body and a steel cable brake button 3. The outer wall of the plug 11 is constructed with a first card slot 111 extending inward; the steel cable brake bracket 4 is used to be fixedly arranged on the object to be locked, and a plug hole 41 is constructed inside the steel cable brake bracket 4, one end of the plug hole 41 is an insertion end, and the other end is an ejection end 411, and the plug 11 can be inserted into the plug hole 41 from the insertion end. During the process of the plug 11 being inserted into the plug hole 41, the first card slot 111 moves along a first path; the steel cable brake 5 is movably arranged on the steel cable brake bracket 4 along the direction close to and away from the first path; the steel cable brake 5 moves in a direction close to the first path until the end moves into the first slot 111 to lock the plug 11; the cable gate 5 moves in a direction away from the first slot 111 until the end moves out of the first slot 111 to unlock the plug 11; the elastic body is arranged on the side of the cable gate 5 away from the first path; the elastic body gives the cable gate 5 a force to move toward the first path; when the plug 11 is not inserted into the socket 41, the cable gate 5 moves into the socket 41 under the elastic force of the elastic body and is located on the first path; during the process of the plug 11 being inserted into the socket 41, the plug 11 applies a force to the cable brake 5 in a direction away from the first card slot 111 until the first card slot 111 moves to align with the cable brake 5, and the cable brake 5 extends into the first card slot 111 under the elastic force of the elastic body to lock the plug 11. In the locked state, the cable brake 5 blocks the plug 11 from moving toward the insertion end of the socket 41; the cable brake button 3 is slidably arranged on the cable brake bracket 4 along the length direction of the socket 41, and the plug 11 When in the locked state, the cable gate button 3 is in the first position, and when the plug 11 in the locked state continues to be pressed downward into the socket 41, it can drive the cable gate button 3 to move downward to the second position. During the process of the cable gate button 3 moving from the first position to the second position, the cable gate button 3 and / or the plug 11 give the cable gate 5 a force in the direction away from the first slot 111; the side of the cable gate button 3 in the second position abuts against the end of the cable gate 5 and blocks the cable gate 5 from moving along the path of the first slot 111.

[0035] Among them, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in order to enable the plug 11 to push the cable gate 5 outward, a guide structure is constructed on the top of the cable gate 5 and / or the bottom of the plug 11. The guide structure is a guide surface. The top of the cable gate 5 and the bottom of the plug 11 are respectively constructed with a first guide surface 51 and a second guide surface 112. The first guide surface 51 extends from top to bottom along a direction close to the center of the socket 41; the second guide surface 112 extends from top to bottom along a direction close to the center of the plug 11.

[0036] In order to prevent the plug 11 from moving toward the insertion end of the socket 41 when the cable gate 5 is in the locked state, a first limiting surface is constructed at the bottom of the cable gate 5, and a second limiting surface is constructed on the plug 11. The second limiting surface is perpendicular to the axis of the plug 11, and the second limiting surface and the second limiting surface are arranged in parallel. The second limiting surface and the first limiting surface cooperate to prevent the plug 11 in the locked state from moving toward the insertion end of the socket 41.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the cable gate button 3 includes two side panels 31, a bottom panel 32 and a top column 33; the two side panels 31 are arranged in parallel and at an interval, the two ends of the bottom panel 32 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two side panels 31, the top column 33 is perpendicular to the bottom panel 32 and the top is fixedly connected to the bottom panel 32, the side panels 31 are slidably arranged on the cable gate bracket 4 along the length direction of the insertion hole 41, specifically, a guide slider 34 is arranged on the side panel 31, and a guide groove 42 matching the guide slider 34 is arranged on the cable gate bracket 4, the plug 11 is inserted between the two side panels 31 from the top of the two side panels 31, and when the plug 11 in the locked state continues to be pressed downward into the insertion hole 41, the bottom of the plug 11 abuts against the bottom panel 32 to drive the cable gate button 3 to move from the first position to the second position. The sides of the two side panels 31 are both constructed with a second slot 311. When the cable gate button 3 is in the first position, the cable gate 5 is aligned with the second slot 311 and can extend into the second slot 311; the top surface of the second slot 311 gradually extends downward along the direction close to the center of the side panel 31 and forms a third guide surface 35; during the process of the cable gate button 3 moving from the first position to the second position, the third guide surface 35 gives the cable gate 5 a force in the direction away from the first slot 111.

[0038] The usage process is as follows: when locking is required, the plug 11 at the end of the steel cable 1 is inserted from the insertion end of the socket 41, the plug 11 pushes open the steel cable gate 5, and the steel cable gate 5 moves toward the outside of the socket 41. When it is inserted into place (that is, the first card slot 111 is opposite to the steel cable gate 5, or the two are on the same horizontal plane), the steel cable gate 5 pops out and slides into the first card slot 111, and the plug 11 is locked. When unlocking is required, just press down the steel cable 1 and drive the plug 11 to move further into the socket 41. The plug 11 drives the steel cable gate button 3 to move downward to the second position. During this process, the steel cable gate button 3 and / or the plug 11 give the steel cable gate 5 a The force is applied in the direction away from the first slot 111, and the side of the cable brake button 3 in the second position abuts against the end of the cable brake 5 and blocks the cable brake 5 from moving in the path of the first slot 111, eliminating the obstruction of the cable brake 5, and the plug 11 can be pulled out of the socket 41, thereby achieving unlocking. After unlocking, since the bottom structure of the cable brake button 3 in the second position is ejected from the ejection end 411 of the socket 41, at this time, it is only necessary to push the cable brake button 3 back to the first position at the ejection end 411 of the socket 41, and the cable brake 5 rebounds to the original locking position without the support of the cable brake button 3 under the push of the elastic body. That is, a cycle is completed.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that during use, that is, when the storage box 2 is locked on the rod-shaped object by the steel cable lock, the top surface of the box body 21 abuts against the ejection end 411 of the insertion hole 41, which makes it impossible for the steel cable gate button 3 to move from the first position to the second position. When the combination lock 23 of the storage box 2 that locks the box cover and the box body 21 is correctly unlocked, the steel cable 1 can be pressed down to move the steel cable gate button 3 from the first position to the second position to achieve unlocking. Therefore, the storage box 2 with the steel cable lock is called a double-locked combination storage box.

[0040] In some embodiments, the bottom of the insertion hole 41 is used to set a limit surface 211, and the limit surface 211 limits the cable gate button 3 in the first position from moving toward the second position. When there is a need to unlock, the limit surface 211 is removed in advance.

[0041] The limiting surface 211 in this embodiment is the top surface of the box body 21 , which can be removed after the combination lock 23 is unlocked, thereby facilitating unlocking the cable lock.

[0042] In some embodiments, the present invention includes two cable brakes 5 and two elastic bodies. The two cable brakes 5 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the insertion hole 41 .

[0043] The embodiment of the present invention uses two cable brakes 5 to lock the plug 11 on both sides, which is safer and more reliable than the ordinary single-sided lock.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first slot 111 is annular.

[0045] The embodiment of the present invention ensures that part of the first slot 111 is aligned with the cable gate 5 when the plug 11 is inserted at any rotation angle, thereby improving the convenience of locking.

[0046] In some embodiments, the elastic body is a spring 6 , and may also be a rubber elastic body or the like.

[0047] The present invention also provides a steel cable lock, comprising a steel cable 1 and the steel cable quick locking and unlocking mechanism as described above; plugs 11 are provided at both ends of the steel cable 1; each plug 11 corresponds to a steel cable quick locking and unlocking mechanism.

[0048] This embodiment has all the advantages of the above embodiments. In addition, plugs 11 are provided at both ends of the steel cable 1 in this embodiment to facilitate the removal of the steel cable 1 from the storage box 2, so that the storage box 2 can be used as a common sealed lock storage box 2. This embodiment improves the flexibility of use.

[0049] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
