Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a handlebar lock applied to a motorcycle or an electric vehicle. Background Art
[0002] The handlebar lock is generally used for an electric vehicle or a motorcycle, and is mainly used to lock the handlebar of the vehicle after parking the electric vehicle or the motorcycle to prevent the electric vehicle or the motorcycle from being stolen.
[0003] The existing handlebar lock includes a lock body and a lock tongue assembly arranged on the lock body. The lock tongue assembly includes a lock tongue and a slider. The lock tongue and the slider are connected in a linkage manner. The slider is arranged on the lock body and slides along the X-axis direction. The movement of the slider can drive the lock tongue to extend out of or retract into the lock body. A driving mechanism for driving the slider to move in the upward locking direction or the unlocking direction is arranged on the lock body. It also includes a cable seat for connecting an external cable. The cable seat is arranged on the lock body and slides along the X-axis direction. When the cable seat moves in the unlocking direction, the cable seat can drive the slider to move in the unlocking direction. A cable hole for the external cable to pass through is arranged on the lock body. A detection component for detecting the position of the cable seat is arranged on the lock body. When the lock tongue reaches the unlocking position, the cable seat triggers the detection component and sends an unlocking feedback signal to the vehicle's central control unit.
[0004] For the existing handlebar lock, the detection component only works when unlocking manually, detects the position of the cable seat, and judges whether the unlocking operation is completed. When unlocking automatically, it cannot detect the position of the slider and judge whether the unlocking is successful. Moreover, both manual unlocking and automatic unlocking require corresponding cable seats or sliders, resulting in a complex internal structure of the handlebar lock and a large installation space required. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a handlebar lock. Through a slider and two detection components, whether unlocking automatically or manually, the position of the slider can be detected to judge whether the unlocking operation is completed.
[0006] Technical solution of the utility model: A faucet lock includes a lock body, a pulling member, a lock tongue assembly and a driving mechanism provided on the lock body. The lock tongue assembly includes a lock tongue and a slider. The lock tongue and the slider are linked. The slider is slidably arranged on the lock body along the X-axis direction. The movement of the slider can drive the lock tongue to extend or retract from the lock body. Both the lock body and the slider are provided with wire holes for the pulling member to pass through. The slider moves in the unlocking direction or the locking direction under the action of the driving mechanism or the pulling member. The slider is provided with a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion. The first abutting portion and the second abutting portion are arranged offset along the X-axis direction. The lock body is provided with a first detection component and a second detection component along the Y-axis direction. The first detection component corresponds to the first abutting portion, and during the process of the slider sliding in the unlocking direction, the first detection component is triggered by the first abutting portion and emits a feedback signal. The second detection group corresponds to the second abutting component, and during the process of the slider sliding in the unlocking direction, the second detection component is triggered by the second abutting portion and emits a feedback signal.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, it is not only possible to judge whether the manual unlocking operation is completed, but also possible to judge whether the automatic unlocking operation is completed. And whether it is automatic unlocking or manual unlocking, only one slider and two detection components need to be arranged in the lock body to achieve it. During manual unlocking, the pulling member pulls the slider to slide in the unlocking direction. After the first abutting portion presses the first detection component, the first detection component emits a feedback signal, and only one feedback signal is emitted, indicating that the manual unlocking is completed. During automatic unlocking, the driving mechanism drives the slider to slide in the unlocking direction on the lock body. The first abutting portion first touches the first detection component and emits a feedback signal, and then the second abutting portion touches the second detection component and emits a feedback signal. The emission of two feedback signals successively indicates that the automatic unlocking is completed.
[0008] Further setting of the utility model: A driving box is further arranged in the lock body. The driving mechanism and the two detection components are both arranged in the driving box. The lock tongue assembly and the pulling member are slidably arranged on the driving box.
[0009] By adopting the above further setting, the waterproof performance is good, which can avoid rainwater and the like from entering and affecting the operation of the driving mechanism, resulting in the inability to realize the automatic unlocking function.
[0010] Still further setting of the utility model: The first detection component includes a first microswitch, and the second detection component includes a second microswitch. The first microswitch and the second microswitch are vertically arranged in the driving box. When the slider slides in the unlocking direction, the abutting portion presses the contact of the corresponding microswitch to form the conduction of the microswitch.
[0011] With the above further settings, the two microswitches are in the off state initially. When manually unlocking, the slider slides in the unlocking direction under the action of the pulling member, and the first abutting portion presses against the contact of the first microswitch, causing the first microswitch to conduct and form a signal output, thereby determining that the manual unlocking operation is completed. When the driving mechanism drives the slider to slide in the unlocking direction, first the first abutting portion presses against the contact of the first microswitch, and then the second abutting portion presses against the contact of the second microswitch. The first microswitch and the second microswitch conduct in sequence and form signal outputs in sequence, thereby determining that the automatic unlocking operation is completed.
[0012] The further setting of the present utility model: The first detection assembly further includes a first transmission member, and the second detection assembly further includes a second transmission member. The first transmission member and the second transmission member are slidably disposed on the driving box, and when the slider slides in the unlocking direction, the abutting portion presses against the corresponding transmission member, causing the transmission member to slide into the driving box and press against the contact of the microswitch to form the conduction of the microswitch.
[0013] With the above further setting, by arranging a transmission member between the abutting portion and the microswitch, and the abutting portion presses against the microswitch through the transmission member, the diameter of the opening of the driving box can be reduced, and the waterproof performance is better.
[0014] The further further setting of the present utility model: The driving box includes a first area and a second area. The first detection assembly and the second detection assembly are provided in the first area. A chute is provided on the second area. The slider is slidably disposed in the chute. An extension block extending towards the first area is provided at the upper end of the slider. The first abutting portion and the second abutting portion are provided on the extension block.
[0015] With the above further further setting, the structural layout is reasonable. When the slider slides in the chute, the extension block slides above the driving box, and the abutting portion touches the corresponding detection assembly to trigger the detection assembly to work and output a signal.
[0016] The further further setting of the present utility model: A water baffle is provided in the driving box. The water baffle is disposed above the two microswitches, and through holes for the contacts of the two microswitches to pass through are provided on the water baffle.
[0017] With the above further further setting, the waterproof performance is further enhanced, and rainwater is prevented from entering and affecting the microswitch.
[0018] Further improvement of the present utility model: The driving mechanism includes a motor, a driving gear, and a driving block. The motor and the driving gear are located inside the driving box. The driving gear rotates under the drive of the motor. The driving block is slidably arranged in the sliding groove. A rack is arranged on the driving block in the X-axis direction. Part of the driving gear is located in the sliding groove and meshes with the rack. The driving gear drives the driving block to move. The slider is linked to the driving block, and the movement of the driving block can drive the slider to move.
[0019] With the above further improvement, the forward or reverse rotation of the motor can be controlled by a remote control to unlock or lock the faucet lock. The motor drives the driving gear to rotate. The driving gear meshes with the rack on the driving block, driving the driving block to slide, thereby driving the slider to slide, so that the lock tongue extends or retracts into the lock body, enabling automatic locking or unlocking, with convenient and fast operation and simple structure.
[0020] Further improvement of the present utility model: A circuit board is provided inside the driving box. The motor, the first microswitch, and the second microswitch are all fixedly connected to the circuit board.
[0021] With the above further improvement, the structure is firm, avoiding loose connections and affecting the use. Description of the Drawings

[0035] Such as Figure 1-8As shown in the figure, a faucet lock includes a lock body 1, a pulling member 2, a locking tongue assembly 3 and a driving mechanism 4 provided on the lock body 1. The locking tongue assembly 3 includes a locking tongue 31 and a slider 32. The locking tongue 31 and the slider 32 are linked and connected. The slider 32 is slidably arranged on the lock body 1 in the X-axis direction, and the X-axis direction is the telescopic direction of the locking tongue 31. The movement of the slider 32 can drive the locking tongue 31 to extend out of or retract into the lock body 1. The end of the pulling member 2 extends to the slider 21. Both the lock body 1 and the slider 32 are provided with wire holes for the pulling member 2 to pass through. The end of the pulling member 2 is provided with a ball head, and the ball head is located on the front side of the wire hole of the slider to prevent the pulling member from separating from the slider. The slider 32 moves in the unlocking direction or the locking direction under the action of the driving mechanism 4 or the pulling member 2. The slider 32 is provided with a first abutting portion 321 and a second abutting portion 322. The first abutting portion 321 and the second abutting portion 322 are arranged offset in the X-axis direction. The lock body 1 is provided with a first detection component 11 and a second detection component 12 in the Y-axis direction. The first detection component 11 corresponds to the first abutting portion 321, and during the process of the slider 32 sliding in the unlocking direction, the first detection component 11 is triggered by the first abutting portion 321 and emits a feedback signal. The second detection group corresponds to the second abutting component, and during the process of the slider 32 sliding in the unlocking direction, the second detection component 12 is triggered by the second abutting portion 322 and emits a feedback signal. It can not only judge whether the manual unlocking operation is completed, but also judge whether the automatic unlocking operation is completed. And whether it is automatic unlocking or manual unlocking, only one slider 32 and two detection components need to be arranged in the lock body 1 to achieve it. When manually unlocking, the pulling member 2 pulls the slider 32 to slide in the unlocking direction. After the first abutting portion 321 presses the first detection component 11, the first detection component 11 emits a feedback signal, and only one feedback signal is emitted, indicating that the manual unlocking is completed. When automatically unlocking, the driving mechanism 4 drives the slider 32 to slide in the unlocking direction on the lock body 1. The first abutting portion 321 first touches the first detection component 11 and emits a feedback signal, and then the second abutting portion 322 touches the second detection component 12 and emits a feedback signal. The emission of two feedback signals in sequence indicates that the automatic unlocking is completed. The locking tongue assembly 3 further includes a spring 33. The spring 33 is located inside the lock body 1 and sleeved on the locking tongue 31. One end of the spring 33 abuts against the inner side wall of the lock body 1, and the other end can abut against the locking tongue 31 or the slider 32 to make the locking tongue have a force to contract into the lock body. When abutting against the locking tongue, a positioning piece is provided on the locking tongue, and the spring abuts against the positioning piece. When abutting against the slider, it directly abuts against the side wall of the slider. When a fault occurs in the internal structure, such as when the driving mechanism is damaged, the locking tongue 31 can retract into the lock body 1 under the action of the spring.
[0036] A driving box 5 is further provided in the lock body 1. The driving mechanism 4 and the two detection components are both arranged in the driving box 5. The lock tongue component 3 and the pulling member 2 are slidably arranged on the driving box 5, with good waterproof performance, avoiding rainwater and the like from entering and affecting the operation of the driving mechanism 4, resulting in the inability to achieve the automatic unlocking function.
[0037] The first detection component 11 includes a first microswitch 111, and the second detection component 12 includes a second microswitch 121. The microswitches are used to collect signals, with good stability and not easily being interfered. The first microswitch 111 and the second microswitch 121 are vertically arranged in the driving box 5. When the slider 32 slides in the unlocking direction, the abutting part presses the contact of the corresponding microswitch to form the conduction of the microswitch. The two microswitches are in the off state initially. When unlocking manually, the slider 32 slides in the unlocking direction under the action of the pulling member 2, and the first abutting part 321 presses the contact of the first microswitch 111, making the first microswitch 111 conduct and forming a signal output, thereby determining that the manual unlocking operation is completed. When the driving mechanism 4 drives the slider 32 to slide in the unlocking direction, first the first abutting part 321 presses the contact of the first microswitch 111, and then the second abutting part 322 presses the contact of the second microswitch 121. The first microswitch 111 and the second microswitch 121 conduct in sequence and form signal outputs in sequence, thereby determining that the automatic unlocking operation is completed. The first detection component 11 further includes a first transmission member 112, and the second detection component 12 further includes a second transmission member 122. The first transmission member 112 and the second transmission member 122 can be provided with steel balls, or transmission rods or transmission blocks, etc. All that is required is that they can slide up and down in the driving box 5 under the drive of the abutting part and press the contacts of the microswitches to form the conduction of the microswitches. In this embodiment, preferably, steel balls are used, which is more labor-saving and can reduce wear. The first transmission member 112 and the second transmission member 122 are slidably arranged on the driving box 5. When the slider 32 slides in the unlocking direction, the abutting part presses the corresponding transmission member, causing the transmission member to slide into the driving box 5 and press the contact of the microswitch to form the conduction of the microswitch. By arranging a transmission member between the abutting part and the microswitch, the abutting part presses the microswitch through the transmission member, which can reduce the diameter of the opening of the driving box and has better waterproof performance. A water baffle 56 is arranged in the driving box 5. The water baffle 56 is arranged above the two microswitches, and through holes 561 for the contacts of the two microswitches to pass through are arranged on the water baffle 56, further enhancing the waterproof performance and preventing rainwater from entering and affecting the microswitches.
[0038] The drive box 5 includes a first area 51 and a second area 52. The first area 51 is provided with the first detection component 11 and the second detection component 12. The second area 52 is provided with a slide groove 521. The slider 32 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 521. The upper end of the slider 32 is provided with an extension block 323 extending toward the first area 51. The extension block 323 is provided with the first resistance part 321 and the second resistance part 322. The structure layout is reasonable. When the slider 32 slides in the slide groove 521, the extension block 323 slides above the drive box 5, and the resistance part touches the corresponding detection component to trigger the detection component to work and output a signal.
[0039] The driving mechanism 4 includes a motor 41, a driving gear 42 and a driving block 43. The motor 41 and the driving gear 42 are located in the driving box 5. The driving gear 42 rotates under the drive of the motor 41. The driving block 43 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 521. The driving block 43 is linked with a rack 431 along the X-axis direction. The driving gear 42 is partially located in the slide groove 521 and meshes with the rack 431. The driving gear 42 drives the driving block 43 to move. The slider 32 is linked with the driving block 43. The linkage connection between the slider 32 and the driving block 43 belongs to the prior art, so it is not described in detail. The movement of the driving block 43 can drive the slider 32 to move. The motor can be controlled to rotate forward or reverse by a remote control to unlock or lock the faucet lock. The motor drives the driving gear 42 to rotate. The driving gear 42 meshes with the rack 431 on the driving block 43, driving the driving block 43 to slide, thereby driving the slider 32 to slide, so that the lock tongue 31 extends out or retracts into the lock body 1, and automatic locking or unlocking can be achieved. The operation is convenient and fast, and the structure is simple. The drive box 5 is provided with a circuit board 54, and the motor 41, the first micro switch 111 and the second micro switch 121 are all fixedly connected to the circuit board 54, with a firm structure to avoid loose connection and affect the use. The circuit board 54 is connected with a straight plug 55, which is connected to the central control unit through the straight plug 55.
