[0039] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a lock with a password retrieval function can be opened by the password in normal use; when the password is forgotten, the lock can be opened by a mechanical key, and the correct password can be retrieved by the mechanical key, which is convenient to use. The lock mainly includes: a lock buckle 1, a lock shell 2, a password lock module 3, a key lock cylinder 4 and a number-finding bracket 5.

[0041] The lock housing 2 includes an upper housing 21 and a lower housing 22, which are detachably connected by screws to facilitate installation of other components in the lock housing 2. A knob 20 is provided on the upper housing 21, and the knob 20 is rotatably arranged on the upper housing 21. The lock housing 2 is also provided with a lock catch 1 that can be driven by the knob 20 and moves between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the lock is applied to a cabinet door, the lock catch 1 of the lock is in the locked position, and the cabinet door can be locked on the cabinet. If the cabinet door is to be opened, the lock needs to be unlocked first, so that the lock catch 1 is switched to the unlocked position.

[0042] The key lock cylinder 4 is arranged on the lock housing 2 and can lock the lock catch 1. When the lock needs to be unlocked by a mechanical key, the mechanical key matching the key lock cylinder 4 is inserted into the key lock cylinder 4, and the lock catch 1 is unlocked, and the lock catch 1 is driven to rotate to the unlocking position. A push block 40 is arranged at the key lock cylinder 4, and the key lock cylinder 4 can push the number search bracket 5 through the push block 40, so that the number search bracket 5 slides in the horizontal direction.

[0043] The password lock module 3 is arranged on the lock shell 2, and can also lock the lock buckle 1; when it is necessary to unlock the lock by the password, the password wheel 30 is turned to the correct password, so that the password lock module 3 releases the lock buckle 1, and drives the lock buckle 1 to rotate to the unlocking position. The password lock module 3 includes a lock shaft 31 and a plurality of password wheels 30 arranged in sequence, and the password wheels 30 are all sleeved on the lock shaft 31, and a positioning protrusion 301A is provided on the password wheel 30. Specifically, the password wheel 30 of this embodiment includes an inner wheel 301 and an outer character wheel 302, and the outer character wheel 302 is sleeved on the inner wheel 301. The rotation of the outer character wheel 302 can drive the inner wheel 301 to rotate, that is, the torque can be transmitted between the two, and the positioning protrusion 301A is on the outer wall of the inner wheel 301. The other structures of the password lock module 3 are existing structures, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] The number-finding bracket 5 is arranged in the lock shell 2, and the key lock cylinder 4 can drive the number-finding bracket 5 to move horizontally. Specifically, a guide slide groove is arranged on the lower shell 22 of the lock shell 2, and guide sliders 54 are arranged on both sides of the number-finding bracket 5. The guide sliders 54 are arranged one-to-one with the guide slide grooves, and the guide sliders 54 are slidably arranged in the guide slide grooves. When the key lock cylinder 4 drives the number-finding bracket 5 to move horizontally through the push block 40, the guide sliders 54 and the guide slide groove guide the movement of the number-finding bracket 5, and the number-finding bracket 5 only needs to slide in the horizontal direction, and does not need to move up and down.

[0045] Among them, the number-finding bracket 5 is equipped with multiple groups of elastic buckles, and the multiple groups of elastic buckles correspond to multiple password wheels 30 one by one. In the drawings of this embodiment, the number of password wheels 30 is four, so there are four groups of elastic buckles, and the number can be set as needed. In addition, each group of elastic buckles includes a first elastic buckle 51 and a second elastic buckle 52 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52 are arranged at intervals, and a card slot 512 is formed between the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52; when the password wheel 30 is turned to the correct password position, the positioning protrusion 301A is inserted into the card slot 512. Furthermore, when the password wheel 30 is turned to the correct password position, the positioning protrusion 301A is inserted into the card slot 512, and the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52 on both sides of the positioning protrusion 301A limit the positioning protrusion 301A, so that the password wheel 30 cannot continue to rotate, that is, when the password wheel 30 is turned to the correct password, the rotation freedom of the password wheel 30 is restricted, and this is the correct password. The password can be found quickly, the password finding efficiency is high, and there will be no situation where the locking effect is not obvious and the password finding is inconvenient.

[0046] In actual use, the present embodiment makes the two parts with relative motion, the number-finding plate and the movable guide plate, in the existing lock into one part (i.e., the number-finding bracket 5), which can effectively simplify the structure of the lock, and the number-finding bracket 5 does not need to move up and down, and has good structural stability and long service life. When it is necessary to retrieve the password by key, the key is inserted into the key lock cylinder 4, so that the key lock cylinder 4 drives the number-finding bracket 5 to slide horizontally, and the elastic buckle on the number-finding bracket 5 approaches the password wheel 30; the password wheel 30 is turned to find the password, and when the password wheel 30 is rotated to the correct password, the positioning protrusion 301A on the password wheel 30 is inserted into the card slot 512 between the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52, and the user can turn the next password wheel 30 to find the password. In addition, the structure of the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52 ensures that the positioning protrusion 301A on the password wheel 30 can squeeze the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52 to deform them, and after being inserted into the card slot 512 between the two, the password wheel 30 cannot be rotated further, and the password finding effect is good.

[0047] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, in this example, one end of the first elastic buckle 51 close to the second elastic buckle 52 and one end of the second elastic buckle 52 close to the first elastic buckle 51 both protrude a limiting protrusion 50 upwards. After the positioning protrusion 301A is inserted into the card slot 512, the two limiting protrusions 50 can limit the forward and reverse rotation of the password wheel 30, ensuring a good password search effect. In addition, the positioning protrusion 301A can press the limiting protrusion 50 downwards, so that the first elastic buckle 51 or the second elastic buckle 52 is elastically deformed, that is, the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52 both have a certain elasticity, ensuring that the positioning protrusion 301A can squeeze the first elastic buckle 51 or the second elastic buckle 52 into the card slot 512. Among them, the number-finding bracket 5 of this embodiment is made of plastic material, and the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52 are both L-shaped, which not only ensures that the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52 themselves have a certain elasticity, but also ensures that they have a good limiting effect on the positioning protrusion 301A.

[0048] The limiting protrusion 50 has a guide sliding inclined wall 501, and the positioning protrusion 301A can press against the guide sliding inclined wall 501 and then snap into the card slot 512. The limiting protrusions 50 on both the first elastic buckle 51 and the second elastic buckle 52 are at the end position, and the guide sliding inclined wall 501 on both the limiting protrusions 50 is at the side away from the card slot 512. When the password wheel 30 is turned to approach the correct password, the positioning protrusion 301A first presses against the guide sliding inclined wall 501, presses down the elastic buckle, and finally snaps into the card slot 512 to find the correct password. The setting of the guide sliding inclined wall 501 makes the deformation of the first elastic buckle 51 or the second elastic buckle 52 have a gradual process, and ensures that the positioning protrusion 301A snaps in smoothly. In addition, a limiting straight wall 502 is provided on the limiting protrusion 50. The limiting straight walls 502 on the two limiting protrusions 50 form a card slot 512, and the two limiting straight walls 502 can limit the positioning protrusion 301A in the card slot 512, ensuring a good effect of finding the correct password.

[0049] A push block 40 is arranged at the key lock core 4, and the key lock core 4 can drive the push block 40 to telescopic movement. One end of the number-finding bracket 5 is movably opposed to the push block 40, and the other end of the number-finding bracket 5 is provided with two reset springs 53, one end of the reset spring 53 is against the number-finding bracket 5, and the other end of the reset spring 53 is against the lock shell 2. During use, when the key lock core 4 pushes the number-finding bracket 5 through the push block 40 to make the number-finding bracket 5 move horizontally, the reset spring 53 is compressed, and the reset spring 53 is used to reset the number-finding bracket 5. Under normal use of the lock, there is no need to perform the password-finding action. The reset spring 53 is against the number-finding bracket 5 to ensure that the elastic buckle will not approach the positioning protrusion 301A, and the positioning protrusion 301A will not be stuck in the card slot 512, and the password wheel 30 can be freely turned.

[0050] During use, when the user forgets the password and needs to retrieve the correct password: insert the key lock cylinder 4 through the mechanical key of the lock, and turn the key lock cylinder 4, the key lock cylinder 4 drives the push block to extend outward. The push block pushes the number search bracket 5, so that the number search bracket 5 moves horizontally, and then the elastic buckle approaches the corresponding password wheel 30. The outer character wheel 302 in the password wheel 30 is turned to drive the inner wheel 301 to rotate. When the password on the outer character wheel 302 is the correct password, the positioning protrusion 301A on the inner wheel 301 is inserted into the card slot 512, and the positioning protrusion 301A is limited by the limiting protrusions 50 of the two elastic buckles, and the password wheel 30 cannot continue to rotate, which is the correct password at this time. Turn the password wheel 30 in turn to retrieve the correct passwords one by one. The efficiency and effect of the password are high, and the overall structure is simple and the service life is long.
