[0040] As Fig. 2 In an embodiment, the bracket 310 is configured as a tubular structure with two open ends, one of the open ends is buckled on the periphery of the second clamping hole 230 and connected with the second connecting end 220, and the latch 320 is in sliding connection with the bracket 310. Specifically, the bracket 310 adopts a tubular design with two open ends, one of the open ends is buckled on the periphery of the second clamping hole 230 and fixed with the second connecting end 220 by welding or other methods, so that the bracket 310 can be firmly installed on the second connecting end 220, and the accurate alignment of the latch 320 during operation is ensured. The other end of the bracket 310 is open, and the latch 320 is in sliding connection with the bracket 310. The operator can operate the latch 320 by inserting his hand into the bracket 310. The tubular structure of the bracket 310 provides a guide for the latch 320, ensuring that the latch 320 always maintains linear motion during movement. In addition, the bracket 310 can also provide protection for the latch 320, reducing the possibility of the latch 320 being hit, ensuring the accurate alignment of the latch 320 with the second clamping hole 230, and further ensuring the reliability of the container lock.

When the bolt 320 is inserted into the first clamping hole 130 and the second clamping hole 230, the positions of the two lock holes are opposite. At this time, the lock 330 can be inserted through the two lock holes, and the lock 330 is closed, so that the bolt 320 is fixed in the current position. In this way, the overall stability of the locking mechanism 300 is enhanced, and the risk that the bolt 320 is loosened or falls off due to vibration or other external force in the transportation process is prevented.
[0042] As Fig. 2 In an embodiment of the utility model, one end of the support 310 close to the second connecting end 220 is provided with a limiting pin 340, the lock 330 is configured as a padlock, the padlock includes a lock body and a lock beam, the lock body is connected with the bolt 320, and the lock beam passes around the limiting pin 340 and is connected with the lock body. In the scheme, the design purpose of the limiting pin 340 is to provide a fixed point to ensure that the lock 330 can cooperate with the limiting pin 340 to limit the bolt 320. Specifically, the lock 330 is configured in the form of a padlock, and a common type on the market can be adopted. The structure includes a lock body and a lock beam, the lock body is directly connected with the bolt 320 and is usually fixed by welding, screws or other ways. The lock body includes a lock cylinder and related locking mechanisms, and is used to control the opening and closing of the lock beam. The lock beam is designed in the shape of U or similar shape, one end of the lock beam is connected with the lock body, and the other end can pass around the limiting pin 340 and cooperate with the lock hole arranged on the lock body. When the bolt 320 is inserted into the first clamping hole 130 and the second clamping hole 230, the lock beam can be operated to be inserted into the lock hole. At this time, the lock beam is limited by the limiting pin 340, and the bolt 320 is prevented from being separated from the second clamping hole 230. When it is needed to be opened, the lock 330 is opened. At this time, the lock beam is popped out in the direction away from the lock body, the distance between the lock beam and the limiting pin 340 is increased, and the bolt 320 can be pulled out of the second clamping hole 230 at this time, and the lock beam and the limiting pin 340 do not interfere with each other. This scheme not only realizes the locking of the bolt 320 by the lock 330, but also simplifies the structure. The common padlock on the market is convenient to maintain and replace, and is conducive to reducing the cost. In another embodiment of the utility model, the lock 330 is configured as a password lock.
