[0037] like Figure 1-11 As shown, the faucet lock includes a lock shell 1, a lock tongue assembly slidably mounted on the lock shell 1, a driving assembly for controlling the lock tongue assembly, a linkage assembly, a detection assembly for detecting the position of the linkage assembly, and a fixing member 8 fixedly arranged inside the lock shell 1. The driving assembly includes a lock core 5 rotatably connected to the lock shell 1, a wire pull seat 6 slidably arranged with the lock shell 1, and a motor 9 fixedly installed in the lock shell 1. The wire pull seat 6 can slide along the telescopic action direction of the lock tongue assembly. The lock core 5, the wire pull seat 6 and the motor 9 in the driving assembly all synchronously control the lock tongue assembly and the linkage assembly.

[0038] The linkage assembly includes a linkage member 7 and a detection member 4. The detection member 4 is slidably connected to the fixing member 8 and can slide along the telescopic direction of the lock tongue assembly. The lock core 5 and the wire seat 6 respectively contact with the linkage member 7 and push the detection member 4 to control the movement.

[0039] The linkage member 7 includes a sleeve portion 71, a shaft portion 72, a first protrusion 73 and a second protrusion 74. The sleeve portion 71 is fixed to the outside of the lock core 5 and can rotate together with the lock core 5. The lock core 5 is inserted with a key and rotated, driving the linkage member 7 to rotate. The detection member 4 is located between the sleeve portion 71 and the fixing member 8. The shaft portion 72 is located at the bottom of the sleeve portion 71 and is rotatably connected to the fixing member 8, so that the linkage member 7 and the lock core 5 can rotate relative to the fixing member 8. The first protrusion 73 and the second protrusion 74 are located at the sleeve portion 71. The outer side surface of 1 can contact the wire pull seat 6 and the detection member 4 respectively. The wire pull seat 6 can push the second protrusion 74 in contact with it to rotate the linkage member 7. When the linkage member 7 rotates, the first protrusion 73 in contact with the detection member 4 can push the detection member 4 to slide. The linkage member 7 is driven by the key inserted into the lock cylinder 5 and rotated, and the detection member 4 is pushed to slide, so that the detection member 4 detects the position change of the linkage member 7. After the faucet lock state is changed by rotating the lock cylinder 5, the locking or unlocking state of the faucet lock can be detected.

[0040] The wire pull seat 6 includes a pushing portion 61 for contacting and pushing the linkage member 7 and a wire pull portion 62 that can be driven by a wire pull. The pushing portion 61 can be a protruding block that contacts the second protruding portion 74 on the linkage member 7. The pushing portion 61 can also be a groove that clamps the second protruding portion 74 on the linkage member 7. It is only necessary to realize that the pushing portion 61 can push the sleeve portion 71 to move. A reset spring 63 is provided between the wire pull seat 6 and the lock housing 1. After the wire pull portion 62 is pulled by the wire pull to move the entire wire pull seat 6, the pushing portion 61 pushes the sleeve portion 71 fixed to the lock housing 1. The linkage part 7 on the lock core 5 rotates, thereby pushing the detection part 4 to slide. After releasing the hand, the pull-wire seat 6 is reset under the action of the reset spring 63, and then after changing the faucet lock state by pulling the wire, it can detect and judge the locked or unlocked state of the faucet lock. A limit plate 64 is provided on the outer side of the pull-wire seat 6, and the limit plate 64 is fixed to the inner wall of the lock shell 1, which can be used to clamp the pull wire to prevent the pull-wire seat 6 from rebounding due to the action of the reset spring 63, so that the faucet lock state controlled by the pull wire can be maintained, so that the pull-wire seat 6 can switch the locked or unlocked state of the faucet lock.

[0041] The bolt assembly includes a bolt 21, a slide 22 and a drive block 23. The bolt 21 is relatively fixedly connected to the slide 22. The slide 22 is slidably connected in the lock shell 1. The slide 22 includes a slide groove 221. The slide groove forms an opening on the side of the slide 22. The drive block 23 is slidably connected on the slide groove 221. The top and bottom surfaces of the slide groove 221 are provided with a receiving cavity 222. Two positioning columns 231 are symmetrically provided on the drive block 23. A telescopic spring 24 is provided between the two positioning columns 231. The portion of the telescopic spring 24 wider than the drive block 23 contacts the two side surfaces of the receiving cavity 222 in the telescopic direction of the bolt 21. The drive block 23 is provided with an opening on one side of the receiving cavity 222 so that the telescopic spring 24 can be installed in the receiving cavity. When the elastic force of the telescopic spring 24 acts on the two side surfaces of the receiving cavity 222 in the telescopic direction of the bolt 21, the bolt 21 can be driven to extend or retract, thereby realizing the locking or unlocking state of the faucet lock.

[0042] The detection component also includes a circuit board, which is fixedly arranged in the lock housing 1. Magnets are respectively provided on the drive block 23 and the slide 23. The circuit board includes a Hall switch for cooperating with the magnet to sense the position of the drive block 23 and the slide 23. The circuit board, the magnet and the Hall switch are not shown in the accompanying drawings. The circuit board transmits the signal of the Hall switch to the central control system of the battery vehicle so that the user can know the status of the lock tongue 21, thereby determining whether the battery vehicle is locked.

[0043] The output end of the motor 9 can be a worm, which cooperates with the worm wheel. The worm wheel and the rack structure at the bottom of the driving block 23 can be connected by a plurality of gear pairs. The locking tongue 21 can be extended or retracted by driving the motor 9, thereby realizing the function of changing the locking or unlocking of the faucet lock by using the motor 9.

[0044] The detection member 4 includes a contact portion 41 that can be used to contact and push the sliding member 22 and a detection portion 42 located at the detection position of the detection member 4. The contact portion 41 passes through the through hole on the fixing member 8 and is placed on the side of the sliding member 22 close to the extending direction of the lock tongue. When the sliding member 22 or the detection member 4 slides, the contact portion 41 contacts and pushes the sliding member 22. The sliding range of the detection member 4 is limited by the through holes of the sliding member 22 and the fixing member 8, thereby avoiding damage caused by the detection member 4 sliding out.

[0045] Therefore, when the lock core 5 or the wire seat 6 drives the detection part 4 to move, it can push the lock tongue assembly to move, thereby locking or unlocking the faucet lock, and the slide 22 drives the detection part 4 to move, so that when the motor 9 drives the lock tongue assembly to move, the detection part 4 can move, and the detection assembly can detect and transmit.

[0046] The detection component includes a detection unit 3 for detecting the position of the detection member 4 and a circuit board for transmitting the detection information of the detection unit 3. The detection unit 3 is fixedly arranged in the lock housing 1 and electrically connected to the circuit board. The circuit board is connected to an external power supply through a power cord. The detection unit 3 can be a micro-motion probe. When the lock tongue 21 is retracted, the detection part 42 contacts the micro-motion probe. The micro-motion probe transmits a signal to the circuit board, and transmits it to the outside world through the communication module on the circuit board to prompt the car owner that the steering lock is in an unlocked state at this time. When the lock tongue 21 is extended, the detection member 4 does not contact the micro-motion probe. The communication module on the circuit board transmits it to the outside world to prompt the car owner that the steering lock is in a locked state at this time. The detection unit 3 can also be a distance sensor. By judging the distance between the detection unit 3 and the detection part 42, it is judged whether the lock tongue 21 is extended, thereby determining the state of the steering lock.

[0047] In summary, the lock tongue of the faucet lock can be locked or unlocked by the lock core 5, the wire seat 6 and the motor 9 respectively, which drives the linkage assembly while driving the lock tongue assembly. The detection assembly judges whether the lock tongue assembly is in a locked or unlocked state according to the position of the detection component 4, and transmits feedback to the car owner to avoid loss of vehicle property due to forgetting to lock.
