[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0020] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses a combination lock, comprising a housing 1, a combination wheel device 2, and a push-lock fastener 3. A mounting cavity 4 is formed in the housing 1, the combination wheel device 2 is disposed in the mounting cavity 4, and the push-lock fastener 3 is movably disposed in the mounting cavity 4. The push-lock fastener 3 has a pressing end 5 and a locking end 6. The pressing end 5 extends out of the housing 1, and the locking end 6 is disposed on one side of the combination wheel device 2. When the password of the combination wheel device 2 is incorrect, one end of the combination wheel device 2 abuts against the locking end 6 to limit the movement of the push-lock fastener 3 in the mounting cavity 4. Specifically, in this design, by disposing a movable push-lock fastener 3 in the housing 1 and cooperating with the combination wheel device 2 to lock and unlock, the combination lock achieves a good balance between security and convenience. The design of the push-lock fastener 3 is ingenious. Its pressing end 5 is easy for the user to operate, while the locking end 6 closely cooperates with the combination wheel device 2 to achieve precise control of password verification. When the user correctly enters the preset combination, the combination wheel assembly 2 rotates to the correct position according to a specific sequence. At this point, the combination wheel assembly 2 no longer presses against the locking end 6, allowing the push-lock member 3 to move within the mounting cavity 4. The user simply presses the pressing end 5 to release the locking end 6, unlocking the lock. This design not only simplifies the unlocking process but also improves the security of the combination lock, as even external force attempts to force the lock open, hindered by the obstruction of the combination wheel assembly 2.

[0021] Furthermore, the push-lock fastener 3 has a main body 7 and a guide portion 8. The pressing end 5 and the locking end 6 are both disposed on the main body 7. The locking end 6 is formed by protruding from one side of the main body 7 located within the mounting cavity 4 and bending toward the code wheel device 2. The locking end 6 is in contact with the code wheel device 2 in a limited manner. Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking end 6 and the pressing end 5 are both disposed on the main body 7. This structural design not only ensures the overall stability of the push-lock fastener 3, but also makes operation more intuitive and simple. The guide portion 8 is disposed on one side of the main body 7 and cooperates with the structure within the mounting cavity 4 to ensure that the push-lock fastener 3 can maintain a stable trajectory during movement, reducing the risk of inconvenience or damage caused by deviation or shaking.

[0022] In other embodiments, the locking end 6 and the main body 7 are split structures, the locking end 7 is arranged on a locking block (not shown), and the locking block and the main body are detachably connected, and the detachable connection method is a screw connection.

[0023] Furthermore, the password wheel device 2 includes a mounting seat 9, a mounting box 10, a limiting plate 11 and a password wheel assembly. The mounting box 10 is detachably fixed to the mounting seat 9. The limiting plate 11 and the password wheel assembly are both arranged in the mounting box 10. An inclined protruding end 12 is provided on the mounting seat 9. The inclined protruding end 12 is inclined from the top of the mounting seat 9 toward the top side of the mounting box 10. The limiting plate 11 is provided on the inclined protruding end 12. The limiting plate 11 has a limiting end 13. The password wheel assembly is provided on the mounting seat 9. One end of the password wheel assembly presses the limiting plate 11. Under the pressure of the password wheel assembly, the limiting end 13 of the limiting plate 11 presses against the locking end 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, the code wheel assembly is a common code wheel structure in the prior art, consisting of multiple code wheels 14 and a rotating shaft 15. The code wheels 14 are mounted on the rotating shaft 15, and each code wheel 14 is engraved with numbers or letters. The user needs to rotate these code wheels 14 according to the preset code sequence to unlock the device. The code wheels 14 are interconnected by a precise mechanical structure, ensuring that each code wheel 14 can accurately correspond to the preset code position when rotating. The correct password is entered by rotating the code wheel 14, so that the code wheel 14 no longer presses the limit plate 11. When the password is entered correctly, the limit plate 11 loses the pressure of the code wheel assembly, and its limit end 13 disengages from the lock end 6, so that the movement of the pressing lock member 3 is no longer restricted.

[0024] Furthermore, a gap 16 is provided between the inclined protruding end 12 and the mounting seat 9. Specifically, in this embodiment, the provision of the gap 16 ensures that the inclined protruding end 12 has a certain amount of space to move when subjected to external force or vibration, thereby effectively preventing stress concentration and damage caused by a rigid connection, and also improving the flexibility and durability of the entire structure.

[0025] Furthermore, the guide portion 8 is a columnar structure disposed on a side of the main body 7 away from the pressing end 5. A guide hole 17 is defined on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 4 away from the pressing end 5. The guide portion 8 extends into the guide hole 17 and connects with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 4. Specifically, in this embodiment, a precise fit is employed between the guide portion 8 and the guide hole 17 to ensure smooth sliding of the guide portion 8 within the guide hole 17, while reducing friction and wear and providing guidance and limitation for the movement of the push lock member 3.

[0026] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are provided in the installation cavity 4, comprising guide reinforcing ribs 18 and position-limiting reinforcing ribs 19. The guide reinforcing ribs 18 are provided on a side of the installation cavity 4 near the pressing end 5. A guide groove 20 is defined in the guide reinforcing rib 18, through which the main body 7 passes to connect with the guide reinforcing rib 18. The position-limiting reinforcing rib 19 is provided in the installation cavity 4. Specifically, in this embodiment, the provision of the guide reinforcing ribs 18 and the position-limiting reinforcing ribs 19 can limit the radial position of the push-lock fastener 3 in the installation cavity 4, preventing the push-lock fastener 3 from shaking or deflecting when subjected to external forces, thereby improving its stability and reliability.

[0027] Furthermore, a fixing member 21 is provided on a side of the housing 1 away from the pressing end 5, and a fixing hole 22 is provided on the fixing member 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing member 21 can be provided to fix the combination lock to an external carrier, and the external carrier can be provided with a snap structure to cooperate with the fixing hole 22 on the fixing member 21.

[0028] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
