[0003] Common faucet locks utilize a locking pin and a slider in a linked connection. The key is turned to drive the pin's movement, unlocking the lock. However, the lock body, which requires a key, is bulky, resulting in a larger lockset. Therefore, a drive mechanism is incorporated into the faucet lock to drive the pin's movement. This drive mechanism incorporates an electric power source to achieve this, significantly reducing the lockset's size and cost. However, this drive mechanism typically consists of a motor coupled with a gear and rack. The gear and rack mesh, and the motor drives the gear to rotate, causing the rack to slide. The locking pin, connected to the rack, slides synchronously with the rack to unlock the lockset. This type of structure has numerous parts, making assembly difficult and inconvenient to manufacture.
