TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The utility model relates to the technical field of jewelry and accessories, especially to the technical field of cooperating lock catch used for connecting jewelry rope chains. BACKGROUND
[0004] With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's pursuit of jewelry products is also increasingly enthusiastic, and the category and aesthetic requirements of jewelry are also increasingly diversified. Necklace, bracelet and earring are among the most common jewelry pieces, which are always loved by consumers of all levels and all ages, and become a major consumer product.
[0005] For hand rope, bracelet and necklace, there are fixed connection structure styles that cannot be disassembled as a whole, and there are styles that are opened and closed to complete wearing through movable lock catches. The earliest lobster clasp connection method, and with the development of precision hardware processing or precious metal processing technology, various different forms of lock catch structures have gradually appeared, such as plug-in buckles, rotating lock buckles, and press-in buckles, etc. Different structures and matching methods of connecting devices. Considering the current technical process requirements, the structure used on jewelry needs to be small in size and high in reliability, so the structure design is relatively difficult. Moreover, since the lock catch used in jewelry is a high-frequency opening and closing accessory, there are many related requirements for its fatigue limit and whether it is easy to wear.
[0006] The common lock catch on the market has a simple structure, such as a buckle structure. Repeatedly buckling and opening will cause the buckle position to loosen, which may unintentionally fall off. There is also a magnetic type buckle, which may be unintentionally hooked in life and cause the adsorption part to be opened by external force. There is still a problem of insufficient safety factor. For example, patent CN202111370208.9 T-shaped wedge spring button jewelry buckle discloses that the utility model adopts a T-shaped wedge structure to limit the button, making the button move up and down more smoothly and not causing the button to shake. Whether to lock is controlled by an elastic component, which is prone to elastic fatigue and aging failure. For example, patent CN201910130218.1 jewelry buckle structure and jewelry production process discloses a magnetic structure, which is locked by the mutual attraction of the first magnet and the second magnet. The problem is that the magnetic attraction is easy to demagnetize, and it is easy to be opened by mistake, so its reliability requirement cannot completely achieve the expected effect.
[0007] In addition, the conventional lock catch structure is fastened and fixed to the jewelry piece, which is not convenient to replace and change if it is worn and aged. The fixed end is generally not suitable for adaptability and universality.

In this embodiment, the specific form of the lock assembly structure perfectly integrated in the bracelet is embodied.
[0039] The lock assembly structure includes a lock body 100, a latch head 200 and a lock cylinder 300, the lock body 100 is used to accommodate the lock cylinder 300, and the latch head 200 is matched, if the lock assembly structure is applied to the bracelet, the lock body 100 is designed to be integrated with the bracelet body. That is, the lock body 100 is integrally formed in the bracelet body.
[0040] And the lock cylinder 300 is arranged on the lock body 100, and the latch head 200 is arranged at the other end that needs to be connected. One end of the lock body is provided with a slot 101 for inserting the latch head 200, and a lock cylinder accommodating position 102 is arranged vertically to the slot 101, and the lock cylinder 300 is arranged in the lock cylinder accommodating position 102.
[0041] Please refer to the attached drawings Figure 2 Wherein the structure of the lock cylinder 300 is shown in detail, the lock cylinder 300 includes a lock cylinder shell 10, a rotating shaft 30, a rotating shaft sleeve 40, a transmission assembly 50, an eccentric shaft 60, an eccentric shaft sleeve 70, a lock tongue 80, and a shell cover 20, wherein the shell cover 20 and the lock cylinder shell 10 are buckled and assembled into an integral whole accommodating all transmission components.
[0042] The rotating shaft 30 is arranged outside the lock cylinder shell 10 at one end, and the part of the rotating shaft arranged outside the lock cylinder shell 10 also needs to be arranged outside the lock body 100, which is a component that can be operated by hand. The part of the rotating shaft 30 inserted into the lock cylinder shell 10 is movably assembled with the rotating shaft sleeve 40, the transmission assembly 50 is sequentially assembled on the rotating shaft sleeve 40, the transmission assembly 50 is sleeved on the eccentric shaft 60 and drives the eccentric shaft 60, the eccentric shaft 60 drives the lock tongue 80 through the eccentric shaft sleeve 70, and the lock tongue 80 corresponds to the lock tongue slot 81 on the lock cylinder shell, and the lock tongue 80 is driven to switch between extending out of the lock tongue slot and retracting into the lock tongue slot.
[0043] Please refer to the attached drawings Figure 3 Wherein the end of the rotating shaft 30 is also provided with a rotating handle 31, the rotating handle 31 has an anti-slip protrusion 311, and the radius of the rotating handle 31 is greater than the shaft diameter of the rotating shaft 30 and the hole diameter of the rotating shaft hole on the lock cylinder shell 10.
