Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of locks, in particular to a luggage lock which is resistant to falling and unlocking. Background Art

[0002] As people travel and go on business trips, various types of bags such as travel bags, suitcases, mobile bags and briefcases play an increasingly important role in people's lives because they carry a lot of valuables or materials; therefore, the safety and convenience of their use are also widely valued by people.

[0003] In order to improve the safety of luggage, the traditional practice is to install luggage locks on both ends of the luggage, with two independent locks installed on each end. Later, central locks, also known as linkage locks, appeared. The key password mechanism and operating parts in the middle simultaneously control the lock hooks on both sides, eliminating the need to operate the two sets of lock hooks separately, making it convenient to use.

[0004] For example, a Chinese patent document with the authorization announcement number CN218843998U discloses a compact linkage lock, including a lock shell, a lock hook located at both ends of the lock shell for locking the peripheral lock buckle, a locking device located in the middle of the lock shell, and a linkage plate located between the locking device and the lock hook, one end of the linkage plate limits or unlocks the lock hook, and the other end of the linkage plate is limited or unlocked by the locking device, and the locking device includes a password mechanism, a key mechanism, a lock block and a button, the button is elastically installed above the two linkage plates in a floating manner, and the button can drive the two linkage plates to slide and unlock the lock hook when the button is subjected to an external force downward; the lock block is arranged below the button and is provided with a clearance hole, and the button is provided with an unlocking column, and only after the password is correct or the key is correct, the unlocking column can be aligned and inserted into the clearance hole so that the button can be pressed. The operation is convenient by driving the two linkage plates to unlock the lock hook by pressing the button; and the unlocking column of the button is arranged to align with the clearance hole of the lock block to unlock, and the structure is compact and stable.

[0005] The linkage lock controls the sliding of the linkage plate through the middle button / push-twist to unlock the lock hook. For the password mechanism, the existing technology uses a center rod inserted in the password wheel to push against the button. After the correct password is entered, the center rod can move axially to unlock. For the key mechanism, the linkage plate is generally unlocked by moving the block at the bottom of the lock body.

[0006] In practice, if the luggage is hit or dropped maliciously, the center rod may be easily unlocked passively due to insufficient strength, or the lock core and its shift block may shake and hit the linkage plate, which may cause unexpected unlocking and pose a certain safety hazard.

[0040] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0041] A drop-proof unlocking luggage lock in this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 9As shown, it includes a lock shell 1, a linkage rod 2, a lock hook 3, a password component 5 and a key component 6. The lock shell 1 is in the shape of a long strip. Two sets of lock hooks 3 can be movably installed at the two ends of the lock shell 1 and aligned with the lock hole 11 of the lock shell 1 so that the matching lock buckle 4 can be inserted and buckled with each other. When in use, the lock shell 1 is fixed to one opening and closing side of the bag, and the lock buckle 4 is installed on the other opening and closing side of the bag. The two sets of linkage rods 2 can be slidably installed in the lock shell 1. The sliding of the linkage rod 2 can drive the lock hook 3 to move and unlock. The linkage rod 2 is controlled by the password component 5 and the key component 6. The limit unlocking of the linkage rod 2 can be released only after the correct password is entered or the correct key is inserted. The main improvements are:

[0042] It also includes a button 7, which can be elastically and floatingly installed in the lock housing 1 and partially exposed. The linkage rod 2 is provided with an unlocking inclined surface 21, and the button 7 is provided with an unlocking protrusion 71 for squeezing the unlocking inclined surface 21 of the linkage rod 2 to move the button 7 downward and drive the linkage rod 2 to slide in the vertical direction.

[0043] The password assembly 5 includes a central rod 51, a plurality of password wheels 52 and a plurality of code adjustment wheels 53. The plurality of code adjustment wheels 53 are coaxially mounted on the inner side of the plurality of password wheels 52 in a one-to-one correspondence. The password wheels 52 and the corresponding code adjustment wheels 53 rotate together. The central rod 51 passes through the plurality of code adjustment wheels 53. The end of the central rod 51 abuts against the side inclined surface 72 of the button 7 via the limiting inclined surface 511 to limit the button 7 in the pressing direction, thereby realizing the first restriction on the button 7. Stop protrusions are respectively arranged on the inner side of each code adjustment wheel 53. A plurality of stop grooves 512 aligned along the axial direction are arranged on the outer side of the central rod 51. If any stop groove 512 is staggered from the stop protrusion, the axial movement of the central rod 51 is restricted. After the password wheel 52 drives the code adjustment wheel 53 to rotate to the correct password, the stop protrusions of each code adjustment wheel 53 are aligned with the corresponding stop grooves 512 of the central rod 51. The central rod 51 can then move axially to release the restriction on the button 7 in the pressing direction.

[0044] The password component 5 further includes a locking piece 54 located below the code adjustment wheel 53. A first spring for applying a force to the locking piece 54 is arranged in the lock housing 1 so that the locking piece 54 maintains an upward trend. The locking piece 54 is provided with a plurality of unlocking arched portions 541 that abut against the outer side of the code adjustment wheel 53. A plurality of unlocking grooves 531 are arranged on the outer side of the code adjustment wheel 53 extending out of the password wheel 52. After the password wheel 52 drives the code adjustment wheel 53 to rotate to the correct password, each unlocking groove 531 is aligned with the unlocking arched portion 541, and each unlocking arched portion 541 is embedded into the corresponding unlocking groove 531 to make the locking piece 54 float upward. A limiting rod 55 and a connecting piece 56 are further arranged below the locking piece 54. The limiting rod 55 is slidably installed in the lock housing 1 and extends below the button 7 to block the button 7, realizing a second-level restriction on the button 7. A second spring for applying a force to the limiting rod 55 is arranged in the lock housing 1 so that the limiting rod 55 maintains a trend of releasing the block on the button 7. The connecting piece 56 is controlled by the locking piece 54 to abut against the limiting rod 55 to keep blocking the button 7. Specifically, the connecting piece 56 is rotatably installed in the lock housing 1 and includes a shaft body 561, a first swing arm 562 and a second swing arm 563. The first swing arm 562 and the second swing arm 563 are formed on the shaft body 561 at a preset angle. The first swing arm 562 abuts against the locking piece 54, and the second swing arm 563 abuts against the limiting rod 55. When the password is incorrect, the locking piece 54 presses down the first swing arm 562, and the second swing arm 563 presses against the limiting rod 55 so that the end of the limiting rod 55 keeps blocking the button 7, as shown in Figure 3 the state shown; when the password is correct, the locking piece 54 moves upward, the connecting piece 56 rotates, and the second spring drives the limiting rod 55 to move to release the block on the button 7, as shown in Figure 7 the state shown. Then the button 7 is pressed down, and the unlocking convex column 71 presses down to unlock the lower part, so that the linkage rod 2 drives the lock hook 3 to unlock in a direction perpendicular thereto, as shown in Figure 8 the state shown.

[0045] The above realizes that in the locked state, the password component 5 doubly restricts the downward pressing of the button 7 from the side and bottom of the button 7; when the password is unlocked, the double restriction is released simultaneously.

[0046] In this embodiment, the key assembly 6 includes a lock core 61 and a shift block 62 installed at the bottom of the lock core 61. When the lock core 61 rotates, the shift block 62 is driven to move a preset distance before delaying the movement of the linkage rod 2. The lock core 61 is rotatably installed in the button 7. A third spring is provided in the lock shell 1 to apply force to the button 7 upward. The limit rod 55 is provided with an elliptical clearance hole 551 to leave installation space for the third spring. The linkage rod 2 is rotatably provided with a pendulum seat 22. A fourth spring is provided between the pendulum seat 22 and the linkage rod 2 to keep the pendulum seat 22 in a tilted state. The shift block 62 is provided with two shift rod protrusions 621 corresponding to the pendulum seats 22 of the two linkage rods 2 respectively. When the key is used to unlock the lock, the shift rod protrusion 621 of the shift block 62 overcomes the force of the fourth spring and drives the pendulum seat 22 to rotate. After the pendulum seat 22 rotates to the limit position and hits the linkage rod 2, the shift block 62 continues to push the pendulum seat 22 to slide together with the linkage rod 2. Figure 9 When the swing seat 22 rotates to the limit position, it abuts against the unlocking inclined surface 21 and avoids the unlocking protrusion 71.
