[0002] Most existing lock cores are of fixed length. However, for application points with different thicknesses, existing lock cores will not be able to adapt and require lock cores of special specifications to be used. However, there are relatively few such application points. If a new production line is set up separately, the cost will be too high. Therefore, designing a lock core with adjustable length is a problem that needs to be solved by people in this field. Summary of the Invention

By designing a new lock core mechanism, when no lengthening is needed, the extension mechanism does not need to be assembled, which meets the use of the standard lock core. When lengthening is needed, the extension mechanism can be quickly assembled, which is convenient for operation, and different lengths of extension mechanisms can be selected according to usage requirements. At the same time, the lengths of the two extension mechanisms can be adaptively adjusted, which has a wide range of applications and can greatly reduce the cost of the lock core.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
