Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of locks, in particular to a password padlock. Background Art
[0002] Padlocks are the oldest and largest family in the world of locks. It can be said that other locks have evolved and derived from this category of padlocks. A metal stem in a ring shape or "one" shape that can be buckled is installed on the lock body of the padlock, that is, the "lock beam", so that the padlock is directly buckled with the lock body through the lock beam to form a closed lock.
[0003] The padlock disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent CN215803887U adopts a locking mechanism in which a key drives a lock core to rotate: the lock core presses against a lock bolt through a rotating seat and the lock bolt is caught in a lock hook slot. Although this solution improves the anti-violent opening performance through a hard metal reinforcement, it still has the following inherent defects: a physical key must be carried to operate, and losing or forgetting the key will result in inability to unlock. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects and deficiencies existing in the prior art, and to provide a password padlock.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A password padlock includes a lock body and a lock hook, and a lock slot is arranged on the lock hook; a lock bolt that slides horizontally on the lock body, and in the locked state, the lock bolt is caught in the lock slot of the lock hook; a locking component linked with the lock bolt, the locking component includes a lock tongue, an elastic resetting member and at least two groups of password units; each group of password units is rotatably installed on the lock body and is provided with a slot; the lock tongue slides vertically on the lock body, and its sliding direction is the same as the opening direction of the lock hook; the elastic resetting member acts on the lock tongue to drive the lock tongue to maintain the upward reset state; the lock tongue has inserts corresponding to the number of password units; when the password is correct, the slots of all password units are aligned with the inserts of the lock tongue, the lock hook can be pulled outwards and pressed down the lock tongue to overcome the elastic force of the elastic resetting member, so that the inserts enter the slots, and the lock bolt is disengaged from the lock slot to unlock; when the password is incorrect, the outer wall of at least one password unit abuts against the insert of the lock tongue, restricting the downward movement of the lock tongue and the disengagement of the lock bolt from the lock slot.
