[0028] Refer to the attached Figure 1-4 A locking mechanism of this embodiment includes a fixed frame shell 1 and a chassis 2, wherein the fixed frame shell 1 is correspondingly mounted on the chassis 2. A first mounting shaft 101 is correspondingly provided on the upper inner portion of the fixed frame shell 1, and an arc-shaped lock tongue 3 is correspondingly mounted on the first mounting shaft 101 for rotation. A first torsion spring 5 is correspondingly installed between the lock tongue 3 and the first mounting shaft 101, and the rotational reset of the lock tongue 3 is achieved by the first torsion spring 5. A first notch 104 is correspondingly provided on the top of the fixed frame shell 1, and the upper portion of the lock tongue 3 extends out of the first notch 104. A rotating cap 7 capable of being driven to rotate is correspondingly installed at a corresponding position on one side of the lower inner portion of the fixed frame shell 1. Arc-shaped conical surfaces 701 are correspondingly provided on both sides of the top of the rotating cap 7, and an inclined surface 301 is correspondingly provided on the lower side of the lock tongue 3 close to the rotating cap 7.

[0029] When the top of the rotary cap 7 is against the inclined surface 301, the upper part of the lock tongue 3 extends out of the first notch 104 and cannot be rotated. At this time, the locking mechanism performs security locking on the safe lock cylinder; when the rotary cap 7 is rotated to the top to avoid the inclined surface 301, the lower part of the lock tongue 3 can pass through the arc cone 701 on the side of the rotary cap 7 to rotate, and the safe lock cylinder is pushed at this time, so that the upper part of the lock tongue 3 is completely rotated and retracted into the first notch 104 of the fixed frame shell 1, releasing the security locking state, so that the safe is opened; when the safe is closed, the safe lock cylinder is moved and reset to the initial position, and the lock tongue 3 is rotated and reset under the action of the first torsion spring 5, so that the upper part of the lock tongue 3 is re-extended to the first notch 104 of the fixed frame shell 1, and then the rotary cap 7 is driven by the motor 6 to rotate and reset again until it is against the inclined surface 301 of the lock tongue 3, and at this time the lock tongue 3 will re-lock the safe lock cylinder.

[0030] Specifically, a motor fixing frame 102 is provided at a corresponding position on one side of the lower portion of the fixing frame shell 1 , a motor 6 is installed in the motor fixing frame 102 , and the rotating cap 7 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 6 , and the rotating cap 7 is driven to rotate by the motor 6 .

[0031] A shaft cap driver 4 is correspondingly provided on the other side of the lower inner portion of the fixed frame housing 1. A second mounting shaft 103 is provided at a corresponding position on the other side of the lower inner portion of the fixed frame housing 1. The lower portion of the shaft cap driver 4 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting shaft 103. A second torsion spring 8 is correspondingly installed between the lower portion of the shaft cap driver 4 and the second mounting shaft 103. The second torsion spring 8 is used to achieve rotational reset of the shaft cap driver 4. An arc-shaped triangular pressure plate 401 is correspondingly provided on the upper side of the shaft cap driver 4 near the rotating cap 7. The triangular pressure plate 401 is correspondingly abutted against the arc-shaped conical surface 701 on the inner side of the rotating cap 7. A dial plate 402 is correspondingly provided on the upper side of the shaft cap driver 4 away from the rotating cap 7. A second notch 105 is provided at a corresponding position on the side of the fixed frame housing 1 near the shaft cap driver 4. The dial plate 402 extends out of the second notch 105. When the motor 6 fails and cannot drive the rotating cap 7 to rotate, the dial plate 402 is toggled to rotate the shaft cap driving member 4, which allows the triangular pressure plate 401 to rotate against the arc-shaped conical surface 701 inside the rotating cap 7, so that the top of the rotating cap 7 avoids the inclined surface 301 of the lock tongue 3. At this time, the safe lock cylinder is pushed to completely rotate the upper part of the lock tongue and retract it into the first notch 104 of the fixed frame shell 1, releasing the security locking state so that the safe can be opened smoothly, avoiding the situation of violent disassembly of the locking mechanism, and realizing mechanical emergency.

[0032] During installation, there is a gap between the dial plate 402 of the shaft cap driving member 4 and the chassis 2. In order to ensure stability in use, a corresponding block 403 can be provided on the side of the dial plate 402 close to the chassis 2. The block 403 is pressed against the chassis 2. When the dial plate 402 is moved, the block 403 can move together with the chassis 2. The block 403 plays a supporting role, making the movement of the dial plate 402 more stable and reliable.

[0033] A control circuit board 9 is also mounted on the lower inner portion of the fixing frame housing 1 , and the motor 6 is electrically connected to a controller on the control circuit board 9 so as to achieve automatic control.

[0034] The above-mentioned embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all fall within the scope of protection of the utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
