[0033] 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.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a dual-motor faucet lock, comprising a housing 1, a lock tongue assembly 2, a driving member 3, a reset member 4, and a locking member 5, 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;

[0035] The driving member 3 is used to push the lock tongue assembly 2 from the unlocking position to the locking position;

[0036] The locking member 5 is slidably connected to the housing 1 and is used to limit the locking tongue assembly 2 at the locking position;

[0037] The reset member 4 is used to drive the locking member 5 to separate from the lock tongue assembly 2 and move the lock tongue assembly 2 from the locking position to the unlocking position.

[0038] According to the design of the present invention, the lock tongue assembly 2 is controlled by different components during the switching process between the locked state and the unlocked state, thereby effectively improving the safety of the device during use.

[0039] The specific steps are: 1. When the driving member 3 is started, it can push the lock tongue assembly 2 from the moving position to the locking position;

[0040] 2. When the lock tongue assembly 2 moves to the locking position, the locking member 5 can limit the position of the lock tongue assembly 2. At this time, even if there is a problem with the driving member 3, it cannot interfere with the position of the lock tongue assembly 2, thereby ensuring stability and safety during locking;

[0041] 3. When resetting is required, the locking member 5 is separated from the lock tongue assembly 2 through the resetting member 4, so that the lock tongue is reset under the action of the physical member to ensure stability in place.

[0042] The utility model is further configured as follows: a fixing portion is provided in the housing 1, a sliding groove is provided on the fixing portion, the lock tongue assembly 2 includes a sliding seat 21 and a lock tongue body 22, and the sliding seat 21 is slidably connected to the sliding groove;

[0043] The reset member 4 includes a reset spring 41 disposed between the fixed portion and the sliding seat 21. The reset spring 41 is optionally disposed on the front side or the rear side of the sliding seat 21, the front side representing the forward direction of movement, and the rear side representing the back side of the forward direction.

[0044] When set at the front side, the sliding seat 21 moves and the return spring 41 is compressed;

[0045] When it is arranged at the rear side, the sliding seat 21 moves and the return spring 41 is stretched.

[0046] The reset member 4 is designed so that when the driving member 3 pushes the lock tongue body 22 outward through the sliding seat 21 , the reset spring 41 is stretched or compressed until the locking member 5 fixes the sliding seat 21 .

[0047] When the locking member 5 is separated from the sliding seat 21 , the sliding seat 21 returns from the locking position to the unlocking position under the action of the return spring 41 .

[0048] The utility model is further configured as follows: the driving member 3 includes a driving motor 31 and a first transmission member 32, and the driving motor 31 is connected to the first transmission member 32;

[0049] A linkage portion 23 is provided on the sliding seat 21 . When the driving motor 31 rotates, the sliding seat 21 is pushed to move from the unlocking position to the locking position through the first transmission member 32 and the linkage portion 23 .

[0050] The first transmission member 32 is a driving eccentric wheel or a worm, a worm wheel, a gear set component, etc., which can be designed according to needs. A single driving eccentric wheel has the advantages of small size and easy installation.

[0051] When the driving motor 31 is started, it drives the eccentric wheel to rotate, and the protrusion on the eccentric wheel abuts against the linkage portion 23 (protrusion) on the sliding seat 21, thereby pushing the sliding seat 21 to move.

[0052] The present invention is further configured as follows: an abutment portion 211 and a limiting portion 212 are sequentially provided on the sliding seat 21 along its moving direction. When the locking member 5 is facing the limiting portion 212, the locking member 5 is snapped into the position of the limiting portion 212 and limits the sliding seat 21.

[0053] The locking member 5 includes a locking rod 51 and a locking spring 52 . The locking rod 51 is slidably connected to the housing 1 via the locking spring 52 .

[0054] The design of the structure, such as Figure 5 As shown, 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 51 is acted upon by the locking spring 52 so that the lower end face of the locking rod 51 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 51. At this time, under the action of the locking spring 52, it is inserted into the limiting hole to form a limiting fixation.

[0055] The limiting portion 212 may be designed as a notch in addition to a limiting hole, or other equivalent designs.

[0056] The present invention is further configured as follows: the reset member 4 includes a reset motor 42 and a second transmission member 43, and a reset block 511 is provided on the locking rod 51. During the rotation of the reset motor 42, the second transmission member 43 and the reset block 511 push the locking rod 51 to separate from the limiting portion 212.

[0057] Furthermore, in the locked or unlocked state, the reset motor 42 and the drive motor 31 maintain a position state without force, thereby increasing the service life of the reset motor 42 and the drive motor 31 .

[0058] The second transmission member 43 includes a reset eccentric wheel or a worm, a worm wheel, a gear set assembly, etc., which can be designed according to the needs. A single driving eccentric wheel has the advantages of small size and easy installation.

[0059] When the reset motor 42 is started, it drives the reset eccentric to rotate, and the protrusion on the eccentric abuts against the reset block 511, thereby pushing the locking rod 51 to move and separate from the limiting portion 212.

[0060] The utility model is further configured as follows: the driving member 3 includes a driving motor 31, the reset member 4 includes a reset motor 42, and the driving motor 31 is installed along the axial direction of the housing 1x;

[0061] The reset motor 42 is installed along the axial direction of the housing 1y.

[0062] The design of this structure adopts an eccentric wheel and motor design, which can reduce the volume of the driving member 3 and the reset member 4. Moreover, since the moving direction of the locking rod 51 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the sliding seat 21, the reset motor 42 and the driving motor 31 can be reasonably arranged in the housing 1, thereby improving space utilization.

[0063] The present invention is further configured as follows: it also includes a mechanical lock core 6, the mechanical lock core 6 is installed along the height direction of the shell 1, the locking rod 51 is installed along the height direction of the shell 1, and a pushing block 61 for linkage with the reset block 511 is provided on the mechanical lock core 6.

[0064] With this structural design, the operator can rotate the mechanical lock cylinder 6 so that the push block 61 moves the locking rod 51 upward through the reset block 511, thereby achieving the effect of contacting the faucet lock and locking. This structure can be used when the reset motor 42 fails or the motor control component is missing.

[0065] The reset block 511 can be a single piece, and is linked with the reset eccentric wheel and the push block 61;

[0066] The reset block 511 can also be set as two pieces, which are respectively linked with the reset eccentric wheel and the push block 61. The specific setting method can be designed according to the internal space of the shell 1.

[0067] 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.
