[0025] As Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a lock structure includes a locked object 1 and a body 2. The locked object 1 is provided with a lock catch 11 and a pressing portion 12. An active locking member 21 and a driving member 22 for driving the active locking member 21 to move are installed on the body 2. The active locking member 21 is provided with a locking portion 211 and an elastic member 212. The lock catch 11 is latched on the locking portion 211 to lock the locked object 1 on the body 2. When the active locking member 21 moves, the lock catch 11 is disengaged from the locking portion 211 and the pressing portion 12 presses the elastic member 212 to generate a pre-tightening force for driving the locked object 1 to open.

[0026] Among them, the locked object 1 can be understood as an object to be locked, such as a door or a box.

[0027] As an example, taking the box body of the vending box as the locked object 1, the lock structure includes a box body and a body 2. The box body is provided with a pick-up opening 13. The box body is provided with a lock catch 11. An active locking member 21 is installed on the box body. The active locking member 21 is provided with a locking portion 211. The lock catch 11 is latched on the locking portion 211, so that the box body can be locked tightly when it is closed. At this time, the pick-up opening 13 is closed by the body 2. In order to unlock, the locking member 21 is set to be movable, and a driving member 22 for driving the active locking member 21 to move is installed on the box body. When the driving member 22 drives the active locking member 21 to move, the locking portion 211 gradually disengages from the lock catch 11 to achieve unlocking. The box body is provided with a pressing portion 12, and the active locking member 21 is provided with an elastic member 212. When the driving member 22 drives the active locking member 21 to move, not only can the locking portion gradually disengage from the lock catch 11, but also the pressing portion 12 can press the elastic member 212 to generate a pre-tightening force, thereby driving the box body to open and the pick-up opening 13 to be exposed for picking up goods. Therefore, the above structure can not only achieve unlocking of the box body but also achieve automatic opening of the box body.

[0028] In some embodiments, the movement of the active locking member 21 is sliding. Of course, the movement here can also be other movements, such as setting it to rotate, as long as it can achieve the disengagement of the lock catch 11 and the locking portion 211 after movement and the pressing portion 12 pressing the elastic member 212 to generate a pre-tightening force.

[0029] In some embodiments, the active locking member 21 is provided with a return mechanism 214 for returning the active locking member after movement.

[0030] As an example, during manufacturing, the active locking member 21 is made of a spring block, and then two spring pieces are processed on the active locking member. One spring piece serves as the return mechanism 214, and the other spring piece is used to form the elastic member 212 for the pressing portion 12 to press. It should be noted here that the active locking member is not limited to a spring block. The active locking member can also be made of a non-elastic material, and the return mechanism 214 and the elastic member 212 are spring pieces, and the spring pieces are installed on the spring block through screws and other components.

[0031] In some embodiments, the box body is rotatably connected to the body 2 to open the box body.

[0032] In some embodiments, the driving member 22 includes a driving motor 221 and a driving cam 222. The driving cam 222 rotates to drive the active locking member 21 to move. Of course, the driving member 22 can also be other structures, such as a cylinder.

[0033] For the embodiments of the present utility model, it should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.

[0034] As mentioned above, the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
