[0032] Preferably, one end of the lever 50 can be connected to the block, and the other end of the lever can extend out of the body. The lever can rotate relative to the body. A reset member 51 is provided between the lever and the body. The reset member can also be a torsion spring so that the lever can move synchronously with the block. The lever can drive the lateral movement of the block by driving the tongue of the second movable block.

[0033] Furthermore, two blocks are arranged in the body, and the two blocks are located on both sides of the slider; it also includes a first movable block 61 and a second movable block 62, and a first linkage member 71 is arranged between the first movable block and the second movable block, and the first linkage member can make the first movable block and the second movable block move in opposite directions, and can also realize the simultaneous movement of the two movable blocks, the first movable block can be connected with a block, and the second movable block can be connected with another block, the motor can drive the first movable block to move, and the lever can drive the second movable block to move, when the motor is driven, the lever does not rotate, and when the lever is driven, the motor does not rotate. It also includes a second linkage member 72, and the motor can be connected to the first movable block via the second linkage member; the first linkage member and the second linkage member include a turntable 73 and a clamping block 74 arranged on the circumferential side of the turntable, and the first movable block and the second movable block are both provided with a clamping slot 63, and the two clamping blocks on the first linkage member can be clamped into the clamping slot, so that when the first linkage member rotates, the first movable block and the second movable block are driven to move in opposite directions; the first movable block and / or the second movable block are provided with a long groove 64, and the clamping block on the second linkage member can extend into the long groove. Because of the long groove, when the lever drives the movable block to move, the second linkage member and the motor do not rotate, but under the action of the clamping slot, the first movable block and the second movable block can be linked.

[0034] Furthermore, the first movable block and the second movable block are both provided with tongues 65, and the stopper is provided with an opening 31, and the tongue can be inserted into the opening to enable the first movable block and the second movable block to drive the stopper to move.

[0035] Preferably, a fixing seat 32 is provided in the body, a stopper is provided on each side of the fixing seat, and a return spring 33 is provided between the stopper and the fixing seat, so that the stopper moves toward the step surface and remains stuck, thereby maintaining a locked state.

[0036] Furthermore, the other end of the claw is kept in contact with the side walls of the slider under the action of the torsion spring; the slider includes a first section 24, a second section 25 and a third section 26 arranged from top to bottom, the inclined surface is arranged beside the second section, the width of the first section is greater than the width of the third section, when the other end of the claw cooperates with the first section, the lock is in a locked state, and when the other end of the claw cooperates with the third section, the lock is in an unlocked state. The step surface is arranged below the third section, and a first guide surface 27 is arranged on the slider below the step surface, and a second guide surface 34 is arranged above the stopper, and the first guide surface can be connected with the second guide surface to realize the smooth opening of the stopper when the lock is dropped. The other end of the claw is provided with a roller 12, which can contact and cooperate with the two side walls of the slider to reduce friction and noise, and the middle part of the claw is connected to the body through a cylindrical pin 13. A spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the slider below the first guide surface, and the other end of the spring acts on the body, so that when the block is separated, the slider moves up to unlock, and at the same time, the lock hook can push the slider down to lock.

[0037] In the present invention, a second linkage is driven by the rotation of the motor, and the second linkage moves the two movable blocks to open to both sides, and the two movable blocks pull the two blocks apart. At this time, the slider in the middle is no longer restricted and will be bounced upward by the spring. There is a torsion spring on the claw, which continuously gives an opening force to one end (upper end) of the claw. When the slider bounces up to a certain height, the claw will open the opening due to the inclined surface of the slider, so that the claw is separated from the lock buckle to achieve unlocking. Mechanical unlocking method: Pulling the lever will slide the second movable block to the right, and the first movable block will move to the left due to the first linkage set in the middle. Without conflicting with the second linkage of the motor, the two movable blocks and the block are moved to achieve unlocking, and at the same time, mechanical and electronic unlocking do not interfere with each other. When the motor is reversed at a fixed time or the mechanical lever is released, the block will be reset to the left and right due to the spring reset; then press the lock hook to drive the slider to push down to achieve locking. Locked state: The slider is restricted by the block and remains in the locked state. Unlocked state: The slider is not restricted by the block and will be pushed up by the spring to achieve unlocking. The opening and closing of the claw is mainly controlled by adding a straight surface to an inclined surface. When in the locked state, the claw is subjected to force on the straight surface of the first section, forcibly pulling the lock hook, and the force is all applied to the slider, and the unlocking will not occur due to the pulling force. A roller is provided at the other end (lower end) of the claw. The roller and the slider are in rolling friction, which can greatly reduce the friction force and make it easier to unload the force when the 20KG pulling force is applied. At the same time, by adding a first linkage, the motor unlocking and mechanical unlocking can act on the same mechanism. When the motor unlocks, the first movable block and the second movable block move in two directions at the same time, and the first linkage will rotate accordingly. When the mechanical unlocking is performed, the motor outlet and the second linkage remain in the locked state, and the force of the lever acts on the second movable block. The first movable block will move in the opposite direction synchronously due to the first linkage, while the second linkage and the motor will not rotate. Moreover, the two blocks can prevent the lock from being unlocked by knocking. When knocking on the left side, the left side may be bounced open, but the right side will not be knocked; when knocking on the right side, the right side may be bounced open, but the left side will not be knocked, thus maintaining the safety of the lock.

[0038] The above description shows and describes the preferred embodiments of the present invention. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the invention concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field.
