TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of locks, in particular to a visual tension lock for railway. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nowadays, railway transportation is also a major transportation mode. Due to the development of high-speed rail, the construction of railway has become more extensive. Railway special lock is used in the process of transportation work. Railway special lock usually uses a turn tongue lock. The turn tongue lock is a lock that controls the rotation of the lock pin through the internal structure. According to the different structures of the lock pin, it is divided into plum blossom pin tumbler lock, triangular turn tongue lock, double-sided pin tumbler turn tongue lock, etc. The working principle of the turn tongue lock is that the key is rotated to drive the lock core and the lock shaft to rotate, and then the lock tongue is rotated to realize the opening and closing of the door lock. Especially on the subway, high-speed rail and train, the staff needs to check whether the door lock is closed perfectly one by one. However, the existing tension lock structure does not change in the locked and unlocked state, which makes it inconvenient for the staff to check whether the door lock is closed perfectly during operation and management, and reduces the work efficiency.
