[0027] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Identical components are denoted by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "bottom," "top," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a particular component, respectively.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a faucet lock with a double unlocking function, comprising a housing 1 and a lock tongue assembly 2, wherein the lock tongue assembly 2 is slidably connected to the housing 1, and the lock tongue assembly 2 includes at least a locking position and an unlocking position during its movement;
[0029] The housing 1 is provided with a return spring 3, a return member 4, a mechanical lock core 5 and a locking member 6;
[0030] The return spring 3 is provided between the housing 1 and the lock tongue assembly 2, and the return spring 3 is used to drive the lock tongue assembly 2 from the locking position to the unlocking position;
[0031] The locking member 6 is slidably connected to the housing 1 and is used to limit the locking tongue assembly 2 at the locking position;
[0032] The mechanical lock core 5 and the reset member 4 are both used to drive the locking member 6 to separate from the lock tongue assembly 2.
[0033] The reset component 4 is an electronic control component.
[0034] According to the design of the present invention, when the lock tongue assembly 2 is in the locking position, the locking member 6 locks the lock tongue assembly 2 to a limited position. At this time, the user can adjust the position state of the locking member 6 through the reset member 4 or the mechanical lock core 5. When the locking member 6 releases the limiting effect on the lock tongue assembly 2, the lock tongue assembly 2 will move from the locking position to the unlocking position under the action of the reset spring 3, so that the vehicle can be used.
[0035] During use, the user only needs one of the electronic switch or the mechanical key to unlock the door.
[0036] Furthermore, in addition to the spring member, the return spring 3 may also be an elastic member that can achieve the same effect.
[0037] The present invention is further configured as follows: the locking member 6 includes a locking rod 61 and a locking spring 62; a reset block is provided on the locking rod 61; and the mechanical lock core 5 and the reset member 4 are both configured to be linked with the reset block.
[0038] When the lock tongue assembly 2 slides, the locking rod 61, under the action of the locking spring 62, makes the lower end surface of the locking rod 61 always abut against the upper end surface of the lock tongue assembly 2 until the locking rod 61 can be snapped into the limiting area on the lock tongue assembly 2, forming a limiting fit with the lock tongue assembly 2. The locking rod 61 can be moved by pushing the reset block through the mechanical lock core 5 and the reset member 4, thereby separating from the lock tongue assembly 2.
[0039] The present invention is further configured as follows: a push block 51 is provided on the outer side of the mechanical lock core 5, and a push surface is provided on the push block 51 and / or the reset block. During the rotation of the mechanical lock core 5, the push block 51 pushes the locking rod 61 to separate from the lock tongue assembly 2.
[0040] The design of this structure is that when the key is inserted into the mechanical lock core 5 and the mechanical lock core 5 is rotated, the push block 51 abuts against the reset block, thereby achieving the effect of separating the locking rod 61 from the lock tongue assembly 2.
[0041] Furthermore, the mechanical lock core 5 can be provided with an existing multi-section lock core according to the needs, so as to achieve different control effects through different depths of key insertion and different rotation directions of the key.
[0042] The present invention is further configured as follows: the reset member 4 includes a reset motor 41 , a transmission component 42 and a transmission block 43 , and the reset motor 41 drives the transmission block 43 to move circumferentially through the transmission component 42 .
[0043] The transmission component 42 includes a rotating wheel, and the transmission block 43 is disposed outside the rotating wheel.
[0044] When the reset motor 41 is started, it drives the rotating wheel to rotate one circle, and during the rotation, the transmission block 43 abuts against the reset block, pushing the locking rod 61 to separate from the lock tongue assembly 2.
[0045] The advantages of using a transmission wheel design are: 1. The structure occupies a small space, saving the internal space of the housing 1; 2. The reset motor 41 only needs to rotate one circle in the forward direction to meet the unlocking operation, which has low requirements for the reset motor 41 and a longer life of this type of motor.
[0046] In addition to the transmission wheel structure, a small screw structure, a gear set structure, etc. can also be used.
[0047] The utility model is further configured as follows: the reset block includes a first reset block 7 and a second reset block 71 located at different heights of the locking rod 61, the first reset block 7 is linked to the mechanical lock core 5, and the second reset block 71 is linked to the reset member 4.
[0048] The design of this structure increases the operable space in the length direction of the locking rod 61, so that the rotation of the mechanical lock cylinder 5 and the rotation of the reset motor 41 do not interfere with each other, ensuring the stability and safety of the operation.
[0049] The present invention is further configured as follows: the lock tongue assembly 2 includes a sliding seat 21 and a lock tongue body 22, the lock tongue body 22 is installed on the sliding seat 21, and the sliding seat 21 is sequentially provided with an abutment portion 211 and a limiting portion 212 along its moving direction. When the locking rod 61 is facing the limiting portion 212, the locking rod 61 is snapped into the position of the limiting portion 212 and forms a limit on the sliding seat 21.
[0050] The abutment portion 211 is the end face of the upper end of the sliding seat 21, and the limiting portion 212 can be a limiting hole set on the end face. When the sliding seat 21 moves, the locking rod 61 is under the action of the locking spring 62, so that the lower end face of the locking rod 61 is always in abutment with the upper end face of the sliding seat 21 until the limiting hole moves to the lower end of the locking rod 61. At this time, under the action of the locking spring 62, it is inserted into the limiting hole to form a limiting fixation.
[0051] The limiting portion 212 may be designed as a notch in addition to a limiting hole, or other equivalent designs.
[0052] The present invention is further configured such that the locking rod 61 and the mechanical lock core 5 are both installed along the y-axis direction of the housing 1 , and when the mechanical lock core 5 rotates with the y-axis as the rotation axis, it can push the locking rod 61 to move in the y-axis direction.
[0053] The y-axis direction is the key insertion direction. When the key is inserted into the mechanical lock core 5 and drives the mechanical lock core 5 to rotate, the locking rod 61 can move in the key direction and compress the spring.
[0054] The present invention is further configured such that the reset member 4 is installed along the x-axis direction of the housing 1. This structural design can rationally plan the internal space of the housing 1, reduce the volume of the lock body, and ensure stable operation of the device.
[0055] The utility model is further configured as follows: it also includes a driving motor 8, a driving component 81 and a driving block 82, and the driving motor 8 drives the driving block 82 to move circumferentially through the driving component 81;
[0056] When the driving motor 8 controls the driving block 82 to move circumferentially, it can push the lock tongue assembly 2 to move from the unlocking position to the locking position.
[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lock tongue assembly 2 is provided with an area linked with the driving block 82. When the driving motor 8 drives the driving block 82 to move through the driving component 81, the locking tongue assembly 2 can be moved from the unlocking position to the locking position by pushing the linkage area on the lock tongue assembly 2.
[0058] The design of the drive motor 8 is used to only control the movement of the lock tongue assembly 2 from the unlocking position to the locking position. When it reaches the locking position, the locking member 6 performs a limiting operation. At this time, there is no control relationship between the drive motor 8 and the lock tongue assembly 2, which can ensure the stability of the extended length of the lock tongue assembly 2, thereby ensuring the safety of vehicle locking.
[0059] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
