Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of luggage lock technology, specifically to a tool-free luggage lock that is easy to disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, due to their high security and ease of operation, combination locks are widely used on various bags to provide security. Existing bag locks generally consist of a base and a lock body. The base has an upward-facing receiving groove, in which the lock body is embedded. For example, the combination lock disclosed in Chinese patent document CN220599502U.

[0003] Traditionally, the base and lock body are fixed together with screws, which is inconvenient for manufacturing and assembly. Later, a structure was developed in which the lock body and lock base are snapped together, eliminating the need for screws during assembly and making the operation much more convenient.

[0004] However, due to limitations in the existing locking structure between the base and the lock body, a special tool is required to disassemble the lock. Existing technology uses a longitudinally locking slider between the base and the lock body, with a window at the bottom of the base. The locking slider is laterally engaged with the base via one-way teeth. Disassembly requires a special tool inserted from below through the window in the base, pushing the sidewalls of the base outwards to disengage the one-way teeth. This allows the locking slider to be moved laterally, thus releasing the lock body. It should be noted that the locking slider in existing technology resembles a U-shape / I-shape. Because the window in the base is located at the bottom, the tool inserted from below against the locking slider and the sidewalls of the base can only reach the bottom of the locking slider. Due to the force arm, even with significant pressure applied, the U-shaped arms of the locking slider only tilt, not enough to compress and deform the one-way teeth. Therefore, it can only deform the sidewalls of the base, necessitating the use of a tool to compress the sidewalls from the inside out. Furthermore, the strength of the base in the existing technology is greatly weakened because the window is located at the bottom. It is necessary to rely on the U-shaped / I-shaped shape of the locking slider to compensate for the strength of the base. Therefore, the shape of the locking slider is limited by the position of the base window, and its structural shape is difficult to change.

[0005] In summary, existing screwless locks for bags require specialized tools to disassemble, have complex structures, and are costly. Utility Model Content

[0014] The base has a window on its long side wall, and the locking element has an operating protrusion located next to the second holding part, which is exposed from the window.

[0015] An external force presses the operating protrusion inward from the window, causing the fulcrum to abut against the outer wall of the lock body. The locking member, which has a second locking part, deforms to make room, thereby releasing the engagement between the first locking part and the second locking part.

[0016] As a further optional solution, the locking component is U-shaped in general, including a first arm, a second arm and a connecting section. The connecting section connects the ends of the first arm and the second arm. The first arm and the second arm are respectively located on the opposite long sidewalls of the base.

[0021] As a further alternative, the second holding part and the operating protrusion are arranged vertically on the same side of the locking member, with the operating protrusion passing through the window.

[0022] As a further alternative, the locking member is supported by the first horizontal part, and a distance is left between the inner side of the locking member and the inner side of the first vertical part, thereby freeing up the clearance space.

[0023] As a further alternative, the first fitting structure includes a trapezoidal boss located on the locking member, and the second fitting structure includes a slanted groove located on the lock body.

[0024] As a further optional solution, the locking element and the base are both integrated structures.

[0037] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0038] This embodiment provides a tool-free, easy-to-disassemble bag lock, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a base 1 and a lock body 2, both of which are elongated. The base 1 includes a bottom wall 12, two long side walls 13 and an end side wall 14 that together form an upward-facing receiving groove 11. The lock body 2 is embedded in the receiving groove 11 and its top is exposed. The top periphery of the lock body 2 is provided with a flange 21, which cooperates with the top surface of the base 1.

[0039] A locking member 3 that can slide along the length of the base 1 is provided between the outer side of the lock body 2 and the long side wall 13 of the base 1. The locking member 3 is an integrated structure and is U-shaped. It includes a first arm 31, a second arm 32 and a connecting section 33. The connecting section 33 connects the ends of the first arm 31 and the second arm 32. The first arm 31 and the second arm 32 are arranged symmetrically and are located on the opposite long side walls 13 of the base 1.

[0040] The long sidewall 13 of the base 1 is provided with a first retaining part 15, and the first arm 31 and the second arm 32 are provided with a second retaining part 34. The first retaining part 15 and the second retaining part 34 are interlocking helical teeth, used to unidirectionally prevent the locking member 3 from sliding (not preventing in the forward direction, but preventing in the reverse direction). The locking member 3 is provided with a first fitting structure 35, and the lock body 2 is provided with a second fitting structure 22. The first fitting structure 35 includes a trapezoidal boss located on the locking member 3, and the second fitting structure 22 includes a slanted groove located on the lock body 2. The trapezoidal boss can be inserted into the slanted groove along the length direction of the base 1, thereby restricting the lock body 2 from longitudinally disengaging from the receiving groove 11. In this example, the first retaining part 15 and the second retaining part 34 are helical teeth, but they can also be replaced with buckles.

[0041] When it is necessary to assemble the lock body 2 and the base 1, the lock body 2 is placed in the receiving groove 11, and the locking member 3 is slid forward to the preset position: then the first fitting structure 35 and the second fitting structure 22 fit together along the length direction of the base 1 to restrict the lock body 2 from longitudinally disengaging from the receiving groove 11; and the first holding part 15 and the second holding part 34 engage to restrict the locking member 3 from moving in the opposite direction, so that the base 1, the locking member 3 and the lock body 2 can be fixed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the locking member 3 has a fulcrum protrusion 36 on the side of the second holding part 34, and a clearance space 4 is left between the locking member 3 with the second holding part 34 and the outer side of the lock body 2. The long side wall 13 of the base 1 has a window 16, and the locking member 3 has an operating protrusion 37 adjacent to the second holding part 34. The operating protrusion 37 is exposed through the window 16, and the outer wall surface of the operating protrusion 37 is flush with or substantially flush with the outer wall surface of the second upright part 133.

[0043] When it is necessary to remove the lock body 2, external force is applied from the window 16 to press the operating protrusion 37 inward, causing the fulcrum protrusion 36 to abut against the outer wall of the lock body 2. The locking member 3, which has the second holding part 34, deforms towards the clearance space 4, thereby releasing the engagement between the first holding part 15 and the second holding part 34. The locking member 3 can then be moved in the opposite direction to separate the first fitting structure 35 from the second fitting structure 22, allowing the lock body 2 to be removed.

[0044] Compared with existing technologies, without the need for external tools, the first holding part 15 of the base 1 can be separated from the second holding part 34 of the locking member 3 simply by manually pressing the locking member 3. The operation is simple, no special tools are required, and manufacturing costs are reduced.

[0045] In this embodiment, the end sidewall 14 of the base 1 has an installation notch 17. The locking member 3 is inserted into the base 1 through the installation notch 17, and the connecting section 33 protrudes from the installation notch 17 in part as a button. During assembly, pressing the connecting section 33 into the base 1 will lock the locking body 2.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fulcrum protrusion 36 includes a first fulcrum portion 361 and a second fulcrum portion 362 arranged separately on both sides of the second holding portion 34. That is, the second holding portion 34 is located between the first fulcrum portion 361 and the second fulcrum portion 362, and the second holding portion 34 is more likely to arch and deform when pressed.

[0047] In this embodiment, the long sidewall 13 of the base 1 includes, from bottom to top, a first vertical portion 131, a first horizontal portion 132, a second vertical portion 133, and a second horizontal portion 134 arranged sequentially. The first vertical portion 131 forms a U-shape with the bottom wall 12 (the opening size is approximately the same as that of the lock body 2). The first horizontal portion 132 extends outward and is arranged laterally. The second horizontal portion 134 and the first horizontal portion 132 are arranged vertically opposite each other. The first horizontal portion 132, the second vertical portion 133, and the second horizontal portion 134 form an inwardly opening directional groove. The locking member 3 is slidably embedded in the directional groove. The second horizontal portion 134 serves as a directional structure to longitudinally limit the locking member 3. The window 16 is provided through the first horizontal portion 132 and the second vertical portion 133. The window 16 cannot penetrate to the bottom wall 12 of the base 1, otherwise it would affect the strength of the base 1, and it is unnecessary to penetrate through the first vertical portion 131.

[0048] In this embodiment, the locking member 3 is supported by the first horizontal part 132, and a distance is left between the inner side of the locking member 3 and the inner side of the first vertical part 131, thereby freeing up the clearance space 4. The fulcrum protrusion 36 is flush with or substantially flush with the inner side of the first vertical part 131.
