DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] See also Figures 1 to 8 :
[0033] The utility model provides an anti-drop U-shaped lock, comprising a U-shaped body 100 and a lock body 200. The U-shaped body 100 comprises a first rod 101 and a second rod 102. The lock body 200 is sleeved between the first rod 101 and the second rod 102. The first rod 101 and the second rod 102 are respectively provided with a limiting convex ring 1011 and a sawtooth bar 1021. The lock body 200 is provided with a guide through hole for the first rod 101 and the second rod 102 to pass through. The limiting convex ring 1011 is connected to one of the guide holes. It is arranged on the same side of the through hole, and the guide through hole has an open port 2041 and a limit port 2042, and the diameter of the limit protrusion 1011 is between the open port 2041 and the limit port 2042; the lock body 200 also has an extension portion 206, and the limit port 2042 is arranged in the extension portion 206; a mechanical password lock device is provided on the lock body 200, and the mechanical password lock device cooperates with the serrated bar 1021 to lock the lock body 200 on the U-shaped body 100.
[0034] In this embodiment, there is an arc portion between the first rod 101 and the second rod 102, and the ends of the first rod 101 and the ends of the second rod 102 are respectively connected to the two ends of the arc portion to form a U-shaped body 100; the lock body 200 is correspondingly sleeved on the first rod 101 and the second rod 102 through two guide through holes, and the lock body 200 can slide freely on the corresponding first rod 101 and the second rod 102 through the two guide through holes; wherein, a limiting convex ring 1011 is provided on the first rod 101, which is aligned with the first rod 101. An open port 2041 and a limit port 2042 are respectively provided at the two ends of the corresponding guide through hole, the open port 2041 is away from the arc portion of the U-shaped body 100, and the limit port 2042 is close to the arc portion of the U-shaped body 100; more specifically, since the first rod 101 and the second rod 102 are set to be of equal length, by providing an extension portion 206 on the lock body 200, the lengths of the two sides of the lock body 200 are not equal, and the lock body 200 can continue to slide on the other side after one side is separated from the U-shaped body 100. The portion 206 is close to the arcuate portion of the U-shaped body 100, and the limiting port 2042 is opened on the extended portion 206; further, the diameter of the limiting protrusion 1011 is between the open port 2041 and the limiting port 2042, that is, the diameter of the limiting protrusion 1011 can be less than or equal to the diameters of the open port 2041 and the limiting port 2042. When the diameter of the limiting protrusion 1011 is equal to that of the open port 2041, the outer wall of the limiting protrusion 1011 is clearance-matched with the open port 2041. So that the limiting protrusion ring 1011 can pass through the open port 2041; when the diameter of the limiting protrusion ring 1011 is equal to the limiting port 2042, the outer wall of the limiting protrusion ring 1011 is interference fit with the limiting port 2042, increasing the friction between the limiting protrusion ring 1011 and the limiting port 2042, so that the limiting protrusion ring 1011 is limited to the limiting port 2042; wherein, the relationship between the limiting port 2042 and the open port 2041 is: the limiting port 2042 is equal to or smaller than the open port 2041.
[0035] Among them, a serrated bar 1021 is provided on the second rod 102, and a mechanical password lock device is provided on the lock body 200. The mechanical password lock device extends into the guide through hole corresponding to the second rod 102, so that the lock body 200 can be locked by the mechanical password lock device and the serrated bar 1021.
[0036] When the U-shaped lock is unlocked, the lock body 200 is slid in the direction away from the arcuate portion of the U-shaped body 100, the serrated bar 1021 is separated from the mechanical combination lock device and opened, and the limiting port 2042 corresponding to the guide through hole of the first rod 101 can be engaged with the limiting convex ring 1011 of the first rod 101, thereby preventing the lock body 200 from sliding further; due to the extension portion 206 provided on the lock body 200, compared with the lock body 200 without the extension portion 206 in the prior art, the lock body 200 of the utility model can continue to slide on the first rod 101 after being completely separated from the second rod 102, and finally, the limiting convex ring 1011 on the first rod 101 is engaged with the limiting port 2042, preventing the lock body 200 from falling off from the first rod 101, thereby achieving the function of the lock body 200 not falling off after the lock body 200 is unlocked, thereby ensuring the safety of the user when unlocking.
[0037] In other embodiments (not shown), the first rod 101 and the second rod 102 can be configured as two straight rods of different lengths. A stop ring 1011 is provided at the end of the longer rod, and the diameter of the stop ring 1011 is larger than the diameter of the guide hole on the same side. Thus, without the extension 206 provided on the lock body 200, the lock body 200 can slide off the shorter rod and rotate along the longer rod. This prevents the lock body 200 from falling off the U-shaped member 100 when the U-shaped lock is unlocked.
[0038] In one embodiment, the guide through holes are respectively a circular through hole 204 and a stepped through hole 205 . The circular through hole 204 and the extension portion 206 are coaxially arranged. The open port 2041 and the limit port 2042 are arranged on the circular through hole 204 .
[0039] In this embodiment, the circular through hole 204 is coaxially arranged with the extension 206, so that the circular through hole 204 passes through the extension 206 on the same axis, which facilitates the smooth sliding of the lock body 200 on the first rod 101, ensuring that the lock body 200 can be smoothly unlocked and locked. Specifically, the opening port 2041 and the stop port 2042 are provided on the circular through hole 204. When the lock body 200 slides through the circular through hole 204 toward the stop ring 1011 of the first rod 101, the stop ring 1011 of the first rod 101 can pass through the opening port 2041 and then be stopped in the stop port 2042.
[0040] In one embodiment, the limiting protruding ring 1011 is provided at the end of the first rod 101 . The first rod 101 passes through the circular through hole 204 and the extension portion 206 , and the second rod 102 passes through the stepped through hole 205 .
[0041] In this embodiment, the first rod 101 passes through the circular through hole 204 and the extension 206, and the second rod 102 passes through the stepped through hole 205, so that the lock body 200 can be located on the first rod 101 and the second rod 102. Since the limiting protrusion 1011 is provided at the end of the first rod 101, when the lock body 200 slides on the first rod 101, the lock body 200 can slide to the end of the first rod 101, which is conducive to increasing the sliding distance of the lock body 200 until the limiting port 2042 of the lock body 200 is engaged with the limiting protrusion 1011, thereby being able to unlock the lock body 200 and the U-shaped body 100, and also prevent the lock body 200 from being separated from the U-shaped body 100.
[0042] In one embodiment, the open port 2041 is opened toward the limiting protruding ring 1011 , and the extension portion 206 extends away from the limiting protruding ring 1011 .
[0043] In this embodiment, the diameter of the open port 2041 can be larger than the diameter of the limiting protrusion 1011, and the diameter of the limiting port 2042 is smaller than the limiting protrusion 1011. With such a configuration, when the lock body 200 slides on the first rod 101 toward the limiting protrusion 1011, the open port 2041 of the lock body 200 can smoothly slide over the limiting protrusion 1011, thereby avoiding the open port 2041 from limiting the limiting protrusion 1011. After the open port 2041 slides over the limiting protrusion 1011, the lock body 200 continues to slide on the first rod 101 through the guide hole until the limiting port 2042 is engaged with the limiting protrusion 1011, thereby preventing the lock body 200 from sliding on the first rod 101. Among them, the extension portion 206 extends in a direction away from the limiting protrusion 1011, and the length of the guide through hole corresponding to the extension portion 206 extends to the extension portion 206, so that the lengths of the two guide through holes of the lock body 200 are different, and the length of the guide through hole extending to the extension portion 206 is longer. Such an arrangement allows, when the lock body 200 slides on the first rod 101 and the second rod 102, the lock body 200 can continue to slide on the first rod 101 after sliding away from the second rod 102, until the limiting protrusion 1011 of the first rod 101 limits the limiting port 2042 of the lock body 200, and the lock body 200 stops sliding.
[0044] The following is a detailed introduction to the structure of the mechanical password lock device:
[0045] In one embodiment, the mechanical combination lock device includes a rotary lock cylinder 201 and a U-shaped lock tongue 202 . The rotary lock cylinder 201 is located between the first rod 101 and the second rod 102 . The serrated bar 1021 is provided on the second rod 102 and faces the rotary lock cylinder 201 .
[0046] In this embodiment, a central axis 2011 is installed on the central axis of the rotary lock cylinder 201, one end of the U-shaped lock tongue 202 is installed on one end of the central axis 2011, and the other end of the U-shaped lock tongue 202 passes through the stepped through hole 205; wherein, the other end of the U-shaped lock tongue 202 is a U-shaped opening and faces the second rod 102, and the second rod 102 is located in the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped lock tongue 202 in the width direction, and the serrated bar 1021 is provided on the second rod 102. The lock body 200 is locked to the U-shaped body 100 by sliding the lock body 200 toward the arcuate portion of the U-shaped body 100. The lock body 200 is locked to the U-shaped body 100 through the cooperation between the U-shaped lock tongue 202 and the serrated bar 1021.
[0047] In one embodiment, the U-shaped locking tongue 202 includes a locking portion 2021 and a connecting portion 2022 . The locking portion 2021 has a sawtooth on its end surface facing the second rod 102 that engages with the sawtooth bar 1021 and has an engaged state and a disengaged state.
[0048] In this embodiment, there is a gap between the locking portion 2021 and the connecting portion 2022. The second rod 102 is located in the gap between the locking portion 2021 and the connecting portion 2022. The end surface of the locking portion 2021 can abut against the serrated strip 1021 of the second rod 102. By providing serrations on the end surface of the locking portion 2021, the serrations engage with the serrated strip 1021 to lock the lock body 200 and the second rod 102. When the locking portion 2021 and the serrated strip 1021 are disengaged, the lock body 200 is no longer locked, and the lock body 200 can slide on the U-shaped member.
[0049] It should be noted that in this utility model, both the rotary lock cylinder 201 and the central shaft 2011 are conventional. When the rotary lock cylinder 201 is rotated to the correct combination, the central shaft 2011 can move along its axis. Conversely, when the combination is incorrect, the central shaft 2011 remains fixed. The specific principles for achieving these actions will not be elaborated in this application.
[0050] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 2022 passes around the second rod 102 and is plugged with a button 203 . The other end of the button 203 passes through the lock body 200 and is slidably connected to the lock body 200 .
[0051] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 2022 bypasses the second rod 102, so that the end surface of the connecting portion 2022 does not contact the second rod 102, thereby facilitating the insertion of the button 203 into the connecting portion 2022. The other end of the button 203 extends through the lock body 200 and is slidably connected to the lock body 200, so that the other end of the button 203 is exposed outside the lock body 200, thereby facilitating the user to press the button 203. When the user needs to unlock or lock, since the button 203 is connected to the U-shaped lock tongue 202 of the mechanical combination lock device, pressing the button 203 can push the U-shaped lock tongue 202 to slide within the lock body 200. When the U-shaped lock tongue 202 is pushed to slide away from the serrated bar 1021, the locking portion 2021 and the serrated bar 1021 are disengaged, thereby entering a disengaged state. Therefore, by pressing the button 203 , the lock body 200 can be controlled to slide on the U-shaped body 100 , thereby improving the convenience of the user in operating the sliding of the lock body 200 .
