Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of Type-C interface, and in particular to a Type-C security lock. Background Art

[0002] Type-C is a multi-functional interface standard with a smaller size than Type-A and Type-B. It can be used in both PC devices and mobile devices. It integrates charging, display, data transmission, signal transmission and other functions. The biggest feature of the Type-C interface is that it supports insertion in both directions, officially solving the global problem of "USB can never be plugged in correctly" and can be plugged in either way.

[0003] Currently, the Type-C interface is in an exposed state for a long time and can be plugged in and out at will, which poses a risk of data transfer and leakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to ensure that terminal data is not transferred or leaked and to improve security, the present application provides a Type-C security lock.

[0005] The Type-C security lock provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A Type-C security lock, comprising:

[0007] A safety lock body, wherein the safety lock body is adapted to the Type-C interface and can be plugged into the interior of the Type-C interface. The safety lock body is configured as an open structure, and an outer interface is provided at one end of the safety lock body near the outlet of the Type-C interface, and a lock hole is provided on the outer interface;

[0008] A key, the key corresponds to the key hole, and the security lock body is taken out from the Type-C interface through the key hole.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the Type-C interface needs to be protected, the security lock body is inserted into the Type-C interface, and when it is not needed, the security lock body is taken out with a key. An external interface is set at one end of the security lock body close to the exit of the Type-C interface, and the external interface blocks the Type-C interface, which can prevent the Type-C interface from being connected to the data cable, ensure that the terminal data is not transferred or leaked, and increase the terminal security.

[0010] Preferably, when the security lock body is inserted into the Type-C interface, the outer interface is flush with the exit of the Type-C interface.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer interface is flush with the exit of the Type-C interface, and the security lock body can be completely inserted into the Type-C interface. It cannot be taken out by external force and can only be taken out by a key, which further protects the Type-C interface and increases terminal security.

[0012] Preferably, the first direction of the lock hole is arranged parallel to the length direction of the Type-C interface, and the length of the first direction is not greater than the internal width of the safety lock body. The second direction is arranged perpendicular to the first direction, and the length of the first direction is greater than the length of the second direction. The key is inserted from the first direction, rotated 90°, and then rotated to the second direction to pull out the safety lock body.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the two directions of the lock hole are set vertically and the first direction is larger than the second direction. When in use, the key corresponds to the lock hole. After the key is inserted from the first direction, it is rotated 90° to pull out the safety lock. Moreover, the length in the first direction is not larger than the internal width of the safety lock body, which is convenient for key rotation. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient, and the safety lock body can be quickly removed from the Type-C interface.

[0014] Preferably, the first direction and the second direction are arranged in a cross-symmetric manner, and locking blocks with a total length no greater than the length in the first direction and greater than the length in the second direction are arranged on both sides of the key end.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first direction and the second direction of the lock hole are formed into a cross-symmetrical structure. When in use, the key passes through the center of the cross-symmetrical structure and the first direction, and then rotates 90° at will to turn to the second direction. The safety lock body can be pulled out without distinguishing the rotation direction, which is convenient for the operator to use.

[0016] Preferably, an arc-shaped protrusion is provided on the outer surface of the safety lock body.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a protrusion on the outer surface of the security lock body, the friction between the security lock body and the Type-C interface can be increased, making it more difficult for the security lock body to be taken out at will, thereby protecting the terminal security.

[0018] Preferably, the arc-shaped protrusions are arranged on two opposite side surfaces of the safety lock body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, arc-shaped protrusions are set on the opposite side surfaces of the security lock body, and the Type-C interface is restricted from the opposite side surfaces of the security lock body, thereby further enhancing the friction between the security lock body and the Type-C interface, increasing the difficulty of the security lock body being taken out at will, thereby protecting the terminal security.

[0020] Preferably, the arc-shaped protrusion and the safety lock body are hollowed out, and long slots are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped protrusion.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped protrusion and the safety lock body are hollowed out, which facilitates the processing of the arc-shaped protrusion. At the same time, the strength of the hollowed-out arc-shaped protrusion is enhanced, which increases the friction on the Type-C interface, thereby increasing the difficulty of the safety lock body being taken out at will, thereby protecting the terminal security.

[0022] Preferably, it also includes a blocking piece, which is arranged inside the safety lock body and parallel to the outer interface, and the distance between the blocking piece and the inner side of the outer interface is greater than the width of the lock block.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the Type-C interface is exposed to the air for a long time, which is prone to accumulate dust and affect the function of the Type-C interface. The security lock body has a lock hole, which will also accumulate dust. By setting a baffle inside the security lock body, the chip in the Type-C interface can be blocked to avoid dust accumulation and affect the function of the Type-C interface. At the same time, the baffle reserves sufficient unlocking space so that the key can be rotated and used normally.

[0024] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. When the Type-C interface needs to be protected, insert the security lock body into the Type-C interface. When it is not needed, take out the security lock body with the key. The security lock body is provided with an external interface at one end close to the outlet of the Type-C interface. The external interface blocks the Type-C interface to prevent the Type-C interface from being connected to the data cable, thereby ensuring that the terminal data is not transferred or leaked, and increasing the terminal security.

[0026] 2. The two directions of the lock hole are set vertically and the first direction is larger than the second direction. When in use, the key corresponds to the lock hole. The key is inserted from the first direction and rotated 90° to pull out the safety lock. The length of the first direction is not larger than the internal width of the safety lock body, which is convenient for key rotation. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. The safety lock body can be quickly removed from the Type-C interface.

[0027] 3. By setting a protrusion on the outer surface of the security lock body, the friction between the security lock body and the Type-C interface can be increased, making it more difficult for the security lock body to be taken out at will, thereby protecting the terminal security;

[0028] 4. The arc-shaped protrusion and the safety lock body are hollowed out to facilitate processing of the arc-shaped protrusion. At the same time, the strength of the hollowed-out arc-shaped protrusion is enhanced, which increases the friction on the Type-C interface, thereby increasing the difficulty of the safety lock body being taken out at will, thereby protecting the terminal security.

[0030] Explanation of the accompanying drawings: 1. safety lock body; 11. outer interface; 111. lock hole; 1111. first direction; 1112. second direction; 12. arc-shaped protrusion; 121. long slot hole; 13. baffle; 2. key; 21. lock block. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1 This application is described in further detail.

[0032] The present application embodiment discloses a Type-C security lock. Figure 1 The Type-C security lock includes a security lock body 1 and a key 2.

[0033] The security lock body 1 is compatible with the Type-C interface, and its outer contour is the same as the inner contour of the Type-C interface. The security lock body 1 is arranged into an open structure, and an outer interface 11 is arranged at one end. When the Type-C interface needs to be protected, the security lock body 1 is inserted into the Type-C interface to prevent the Type-C interface from being connected to the data cable, thereby ensuring that the terminal data is not transferred or leaked, and increasing the terminal security.

[0034] When in use, the external interface 11 is located at the exit of the Type-C interface and is flush with the exit of the Type-C interface. At this time, the security lock body 1 can be completely inserted into the Type-C interface and cannot be forcibly removed by external force, thereby increasing terminal security.

[0035] A lock hole 111 is provided on the outer interface 11, and a first direction 1111 of the lock hole 111 is parallel to the length direction of the Type-C interface, and a second direction 1112 is perpendicular to the first direction 1111. Specifically, the first direction 1111 of the lock hole 111 is cross-symmetrically arranged with the first direction 1111 of the lock hole 111, and a length of the first direction 1111 is not greater than an internal width of the safety lock body 1, and a length of the second direction 1112 is less than a length of the first direction 1111.

[0036] Lock blocks 21 with a total length no greater than the length of the first direction 1111 and greater than the length of the second direction 1112 are arranged on both sides of one end of the key 2. When the safety lock body 1 needs to be taken out from the Type-C interface, the key 2 passes through the center of the cross-symmetrical structure and the first direction 1111, and then rotates 90° at will to the second direction 1112. The safety lock body 1 can be pulled out without distinguishing the rotation direction, which is convenient for the operator to use.

[0037] An arc-shaped protrusion 12 is provided on the security lock body 1. The arc-shaped protrusion 12 is provided on two opposite side surfaces of the security lock body 1. One or two are provided on each side. In the present embodiment, two are provided. Long slots 121 are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped protrusion 12, which are hollowed out from the security lock body 1. The Type-C interface is restricted from the opposite sides of the security lock body 1, thereby further enhancing the friction between the security lock body 1 and the Type-C interface, and increasing the difficulty of the security lock body 1 being taken out at will, thereby protecting the terminal security.

[0038] A baffle 13 is also provided inside the safety lock body 1, which is arranged parallel to the outer interface 11. The distance between the baffle 13 and the inner side of the outer interface 11 is greater than the width of the lock block 21 of the key 2. It can block the chip in the Type-C interface to avoid dust accumulation and affect the function of the Type-C interface. At the same time, the baffle 13 reserves sufficient unlocking space so that the key 2 can be rotated and used normally.

[0039] The implementation principle of a Type-C security lock in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the Type-C interface needs to be protected, the security lock body 1 is inserted into the Type-C interface, and when it is not needed, the security lock body 1 is taken out by the key 2. An external interface 11 is provided at one end of the security lock body 1 close to the exit of the Type-C interface, and the external interface 11 blocks the Type-C interface to prevent the Type-C interface from being connected to the data cable, thereby ensuring that the terminal data is not transferred or leaked, and increasing the terminal security.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
