The inner shell 11 is embedded in the outer shell 12 from the open top and is installed at the middle of the outer shell 12. Two groups of locking hooks 5 are rotatably installed at the two ends of the outer shell 12. The two ends of the outer shell 12 are respectively provided with lock holes on the front side of the locking hooks 5, which can be inserted by the lock catch of the front cover of the luggage.

[0039] The drive rod 6 is slidably installed on the outer side of the bottom of the inner shell 11 and is linked with the locking hooks 5. When unlocking, the drive rod 6 is driven to slide, thereby driving the locking hooks 5 to switch to the unlocking posture. The linkage relationship between the drive rod 6 and the locking hooks 5 is prior art, which will not be described here.

[0040] The inner shell 11 is integrally formed with three assembly cylinders 13 arranged at intervals. The middle assembly cylinder 13 is slidably provided with a button 7. The lower side of the button 7 is slidably provided with a stop 8. In the locked state, the stop 8 abuts against the button 7 to prevent it from being pressed. The bottom of the inner shell 11 is provided with a hole for the button 7 to pass through to cooperate with the drive rod 6.

[0041] In the embodiment, the key module 3 comprises a lock core 31 arranged in another assembly cylinder 13. When the lock core 31 is inserted into a correct key and operated to rotate or the password module 2 inputs a correct password, the stop 8 can be driven to release the constraint on the button 7. The external force can press the button 7 to make the drive rod 6 slide to unlock the locking hooks 5. The bottom of the lock core 31 is provided with a semicircular block. When unlocking, the block is rotated by about 90° to abut against the stop 8.

[0042] In this embodiment, the identity recognition and unlocking module 4 comprises an identity recognition module 41 arranged in the third assembling cylinder 13, and a control module 42 and an electric driving module 43 arranged in the lock body. The control module 42 can control the electric driving module 43 to drive the transmission rod 6 to slide and unlock the hook 5 according to the identity signal transmitted by the identity recognition module 41. The identity recognition module 41 can be a fingerprint recognition module, a card swiping recognition module, a face recognition module, etc. As long as the correct identity is recognized, the electric driving module 43 can be triggered to drive the transmission rod 6 to slide. The relationship among the identity recognition module 41, the control module 42 and the electric driving module 43 is a prior art, and the principle thereof will not be described in detail. The control module 42 and the electric driving module 43 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the shell 12, and the shell 12 is provided with a groove at each end for mounting the modules. The groove is detachably provided with a cover 14 for facilitating assembly and maintenance. When the key, the password or the identity recognition block is used to unlock, the transmission rod 6 slides in the same direction.

[0043] Specifically, the electric driving module 43 comprises an unlocking head 431 and a motor 433 for driving the unlocking head 431 to rotate. The output shaft of the motor 433 is connected to the unlocking head 431 via a speed reduction mechanism. The unlocking head 431 is provided with a long strip-shaped V-shaped protrusion 432, and the transmission rod 6 is provided with a long strip-shaped V-shaped groove 61. In the normal state, the V-shaped protrusion 432 is embedded in the V-shaped groove 61. When the unlocking head 431 rotates, the V-shaped protrusion 432 rotates and separates from the V-shaped groove 61 (i.e. the V-shaped protrusion 432 is perpendicular to the V-shaped groove 61), thereby driving the transmission rod 6 to slide. Specifically, the electric driving module 43 further comprises a battery module (only a battery slot 15 is shown in the figure) for supplying power to the control module 42 and the motor 433.

[0044] Specifically, the bottom of the button 7 and the transmission rod 6 are provided with unlocking inclined surfaces 62 which abut against each other. When the button 7 is pressed downward, the transmission rod 6 is driven to slide in a direction perpendicular to the unlocking inclined surfaces 62.

The outer side of the plurality of inner sleeves 23 is respectively provided with an unlocking groove 231. The unlocking plate 21 is provided with a plurality of unlocking protrusions 211 corresponding to each unlocking groove 231. Any unlocking groove 231 is offset from the unlocking protrusion 211, and the unlocking protrusion 211 cannot be embedded in the unlocking groove 231. When the number wheel 22 is rotated to the correct password, all the unlocking grooves 231 are aligned with the corresponding unlocking protrusions 211, and the unlocking plate 21 can slide to drive the stopper 8 to release the constraint on the button 7.

[0046] Specifically, the outer side of the button 7 is provided with a blocking protrusion 71, the stop piece 8 is provided with two separate accommodation grooves 81 and a blocking part 82 between the two accommodation grooves 81, and the blocking protrusion 71 is aligned with the blocking part 82 downward in the locked state, so as to prevent the button 7 from moving. When the key is unlocked, the lock core 31 drives the stop piece 8 and the unlocking plate 21 to slide forward, so that the blocking protrusion 71 is aligned with one of the accommodation grooves 81; when the password is unlocked, the unlocking plate 21 and the stop piece 8 slide reversely, so that the blocking protrusion 71 is aligned with the other accommodation groove 81, and the button 7 is released. Here, the "forward" and "reverse" are relative relations, and do not specify a certain direction. The conventional unlocking plate 21 can only slide in a single direction, and the unlocking plate 21 can be slid in two opposite directions in the case, so that the password and the key can drive the stop piece 8 to slide. In the locked state, a certain distance is left between the stop piece 8 and the bottom of the lock core 31, so that the stop piece 8 moves towards the lock core 31 when the password is unlocked, Figure 5 The state after the password is unlocked.

[0047] The lock shell 1 is provided with a spring (not shown in the figure) for applying force to the unlocking plate 21 / stop piece 8, and the spring automatically drives the stop piece 8 to slide when the password is correct.

[0048] Specifically, the password module 2 further comprises a code adjusting plate 24 slidably arranged at the bottom of the unlocking plate 21, the code adjusting plate 24 locally extends to the outside of the lock shell 1, the top of the code adjusting plate 24 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 241, and when the number wheel 22 and the inner sleeve 23 are turned to the correct password state, an external force drives the code adjusting plate 24 to slide, so that the inner sleeve 23 falls into the receiving groove 241 and is separated from the number wheel 22. After the number wheel 22 is rotated to a new password, the code adjusting plate 24 is reset, and the inner sleeve 23 is reset to cooperate with the number wheel 22.

[0049] Specifically, the stop piece 8 is provided with a clamping piece 83 which slides at the stop piece 8, the sliding direction of the clamping piece 83 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the stop piece 8, and the two are matched through a slope. The code adjusting plate 24 is provided with a clamping protrusion 242, the clamping piece 83 abuts against the clamping protrusion 242 to prevent the code adjusting plate 24 from sliding in the incorrect password state, so as to avoid code changing when the password is incorrect. The stop piece 8 drives the clamping piece 83 to release the limitation of the clamping protrusion 242 in the correct password state.
