Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bullet lock cores, in particular to a bullet lock with a torsion spring and a key thereof. Background Art

[0002] Existing public documents disclose CN210508678U, a disc-type lock cylinder, comprising a lock core sleeve. An elastic member and three locking discs are sequentially placed in the inner cavity of the lock core sleeve. The three locking discs are stacked along the axial direction of the lock core sleeve and arranged in sequence as a first locking disc, a second locking disc, and a third locking disc from the rear end opening of the lock core sleeve to the key entry. The inner diameter of the center hole increases from the first locking disc to the third locking disc. The first locking disc extends from the periphery of the locking disc and bends toward the rear end opening to form a positioning lug. The inner wall of the lock core sleeve is provided with two limiting grooves, and the positioning lugs are placed in the limiting grooves to prevent the key from accidentally pushing and turning over. This lock core does not have the function of automatically resetting the key when it is opened. It does not automatically eject after the key is turned, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a bullet lock with a torsion spring and a key thereof.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: the utility model relates to a bullet lock with a torsion spring and a key thereof, comprising a lock core and a key, the lock core having a lock hole for inserting the key, the lock core comprising a lock shell, a lock core, a plurality of lock plates, a suspension spring, a back cover and a torsion spring, the lock core being rotatably installed in the lock shell, the lock core having an axial accommodating cavity, a plurality of lock plates being stacked and arranged in the accommodating cavity along the axial direction of the lock core, the rear end of the accommodating cavity having a rear opening, a back cover being provided at the rear opening, the back cover being arranged in the lock shell through the torsion spring, each lock plate being suspended above the back cover by the suspension spring, the inner wall surface of the lock shell being provided with a sliding groove for allowing the plurality of lock plates to slide axially in the lock shell and a locking plate groove for allowing the lock plates to rotate circumferentially in the lock shell, the locking plate groove penetrating the inner and outer wall surfaces of the lock shell, one end of the locking plate groove being connected to the sliding groove, and the other end of one of the locking plate grooves being provided with a return self-locking position. The number of locking plates corresponds to the number of locking plate slots. The return self-locking function can be achieved by setting a return self-locking position in one of the locking plate slots, or the locking plate slots corresponding to each locking plate are also provided with a return self-locking position. When one of the locking plates is located in the return self-locking position of the corresponding locking plate slot, the suspension spring stops the locking plate in the return self-locking position.

[0005] The present invention relates to a bullet lock with a torsion spring and its key. When the key is used, the lock cylinder is twisted to the angle at which the bullet lock is opened. The key pushes the locking plate into the locking plate slot through the sliding groove. The locking plate rotates circumferentially along the locking plate slot, driving the rear cover to rotate synchronously. After the rear cover rotates to the open position, the lock is triggered to open. After the torsion of the key is released, the key returns to the original position due to the action of the torsion spring, allowing the key to be removed. The inventors have found that if the locking plate slot does not have a return self-locking latch, the return spring can automatically drive the locking plate to the locked position after unlocking, and the suspension spring pushes out the key, causing the key and lock cylinder to separate. The serial numbers no longer correspond, requiring re-assignment, resulting in a large waste of manpower and material resources. This troublesome process is repeated at each workstation, causing great inconvenience in installation and transportation. Therefore, the inventors have provided the locking plate slot with a return self-locking latch. Before removing the key, the key needs to be pushed back into the lock hole. The key then re-enters the locking plate slot and is ejected out of the lock hole through the sliding groove, driven by the suspension spring and the locking plate. Add a return self-locking position so that the key will be temporarily locked in the unlocked state after unlocking and the key will not be ejected. You need to take out the key, push the key forward to return to the locked state, and then eject the key.

[0006] Preferably, the locking plate groove is provided with an inclined surface to ensure that the locking plate can smoothly return to the locking plate groove from the return self-locking position after the key is pushed toward the lock hole.

[0007] Preferably, the torsion spring includes a fixed portion and a rebound portion, the fixed portion is fixed on the lock housing, and the rebound portion is sleeved on the trigger rod of the back cover.

[0008] Preferably, each of the locking plate grooves is distributed along the axial spacing of the lock housing.

[0009] Preferably, the lock core further includes a limiting ring, which is fixed on the lock housing and is located between the back cover and the torsion spring.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting mounting hole is provided on the lock housing, and the limiting ring is installed in the limiting mounting hole.

[0011] Preferably, a torsion spring installation position is provided on one side of the position-limiting installation hole close to the rear end opening of the lock housing, and the fixing portion is fixed in the torsion spring installation position.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention relates to a bullet lock with a torsion spring, in which a return self-locking position for temporarily locking the key is provided on one side of the lock plate slot. When the key is inserted into the lock cylinder, the key pushes the lock plate to move along the slide slot to align with the corresponding lock plate slot, and then the key is turned to make the lock plate enter the lock plate slot, and the lock plate drives the lock core and the back cover to rotate synchronously. When the lock plate rotates to the return self-locking position and is aligned, the suspension spring pushes the lock plate into the return self-locking position, thereby locking the position of the lock plate and preventing the lock plate from rebounding and resetting due to the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring, so that the key will not pop out automatically, and the key and the lock cylinder are not separated, avoiding the problem of re-matching the key and the lock cylinder, thereby reducing the waste of manpower and material resources and improving the efficiency of installation and transportation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the lock core 12 has a housing 124 for the sliding movement of the locking plate 13. The locking plate 13 is slidably mounted within the housing 124. A pair of sliding plate slots 122 are provided on either side of the housing 124. The lock core 12 is internally provided with a plurality of spring slots 123, which are arranged on the inner wall of the lock core 12 along its length. The suspension spring 14 is disposed within the spring slots 123.

[0028] Wherein, each of the lock piece 13 is provided with a lock piece hole 131 for the key 2 to pass through, and a pair of spring mounting blocks 132 and a pair of sliding pieces 133 are provided on the circumference of each of the lock piece 13. When the lock piece 13 is installed inside the lock cylinder 12, the lock piece hole 131 is aligned with the key hole 121, the spring mounting blocks 132 are respectively matched with the floating springs 14 arranged in the spring grooves 123, and the sliding pieces 133 are respectively arranged in the sliding piece grooves 122, the sliding pieces 133 are higher than the sliding piece grooves 122 and protrude out of the outer surface of the lock cylinder 12 into the sliding groove 112.

[0029] When the key 2 of the pair is inserted into the lock cylinder 1, the key 2 pushes the lock piece 13 to move along the sliding groove 112 to align with the corresponding lock piece groove 113, and then rotates the key 2 to make the lock piece 13 enter the lock piece groove 113, the lock piece 13 drives the lock cylinder 12 and the back cover 16 to rotate synchronously, when the lock piece 13 rotates to align with the reset self-locking stop 114, the floating spring 14 pushes the lock piece 13 into the reset self-locking stop 114, thereby locking the position of the lock piece 13, preventing the lock piece 13 from bouncing back to the original position due to the elastic potential of the torsion spring 17, and realizing that the key 2 is not separated from the lock cylinder 1. When the key 2 needs to be taken out, the key 2 is only needed to be pushed forward to make the lock piece 13 leave the reset self-locking stop 114 and enter the lock piece groove 113, at this time, the back cover 16 is driven to rotate to the reset position due to the elastic potential of the torsion spring 17, the back cover 16 synchronously drives the lock cylinder 12 to drive the lock piece 13 to reset, so that the lock piece 13 rotates back to the sliding groove 112, and the floating spring 14 pushes the lock piece 13 to the initial position, so that the key 2 is ejected.
