[0016] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application, the following will describe the technology in the embodiments in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0017] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the folding state of the present application;

[0020] REFERENCE Figs. 1 to 3As shown, the portable lever type vehicle lock comprises at least one set of locking levers relatively rotating around a rotating shaft, and the unlocking and locking of the vehicle lock are realized by rotating the locking levers around the rotating shaft. The free end of the first locking lever (1) is provided with an abutting portion (2) in contact with the tire tread (3), and the free end and the position close to the rotating shaft of the second locking lever (4) are respectively provided with abutting portions (2) in contact with the tire tread (3). When locked, the three abutting portions (2) of the first locking lever (1) and the second locking lever (4) are respectively in contact with the tire tread (3) and form a triangular locking structure, and the internal angles of the triangle should be less than 90° to realize stable and reliable locking and prevent the wheel from separating from the locking structure. The locking operation is very convenient. Only by rotating the first and second locking levers to the locking position and then locking the included angle between the two locking levers through the locking structure can the locking be completed. Moreover, the entire vehicle lock does not contact the wheel hub during locking, so it will not damage the surface of the wheel hub. When unlocked, the locking state of the locking structure is released, the locking levers can rotate around the rotating shaft again, the abutting portions (2) are separated from the tire tread (3), then the vehicle lock is pulled out from the tire (3), and then the locking levers are further rotated around the rotating shaft until the two locking levers are overlapped to reduce the volume of the vehicle lock, thereby greatly reducing the volume of the entire vehicle lock and making the vehicle lock easy to store and carry.

[0021] Since the size of the tire (3) of the vehicle is different, in order to adapt the vehicle lock to different sizes of the tire (3) and realize a smaller volume of the vehicle lock, the first locking lever (1) and the second locking lever (4) can be provided with telescopic settings for adjusting and locking the length thereof. During locking, the first and second locking levers are first extended to a length suitable for the size of the wheel, at this time the distance between the two abutting portions (2) of the second locking lever (4) is also increased. Then the two locking levers are unfolded and the length of the two locking levers is appropriately adjusted so that the abutting portions (2) can better contact the tire tread (3), the length of the locking levers is first locked, and then the included angle between the two locking levers is locked through the locking structure.

[0022] In order to automatically adapt the telescopic settings of the locking levers to different sizes of the tire (3) and realize the locking of the length thereof, a steel cable for locking the length of the telescopic settings is arranged in the first locking lever (1) and the second locking lever (4). When unlocked, the steel cable is in a relaxed state to facilitate the adjustment of the length of the locking levers, then the vehicle lock is placed at the wheel and the two locking levers are adjusted to a suitable locking angle, the included angle between the two locking levers is first locked by the locking structure, and finally the steel cable is contracted to make the three abutting portions (2) of the locking levers contact the tire tread of the wheel and lock the length of the steel cable. After unlocking, the length of the vehicle lock can be reduced by shortening the first and second locking levers to further reduce the overall volume of the vehicle lock. The contraction of the steel cable can be realized by a winding device arranged in the vehicle lock.

[0023] To facilitate the locking of the vehicle lock by placing it on the ground for easier operation, locking rod 2 (4) is set as a locking seat placed on the ground, and locking rod 1 (1) is installed on the locking seat via a pivot. After the locking seat is pulled open by the telescopic mechanism, it has a notch on at least one side so that the locking seat can be inserted under the tire (3). Then the telescopic mechanism of locking rod 1 (1) is also pulled open and rotated above the tire (3) via the pivot. Finally, the locking angle is locked and the telescopic mechanisms of locking rod 1 and 2 are retracted so that the abutment part (2) is in contact with the tire tread, thus completing the locking.

[0024] To prevent the locked vehicle lock from being pulled out along the wheel axis after locking, this utility model adopts the following structure: First, the locking rod one (1) and the locking rod two (4) are respectively set at both ends of the rotating shaft. When the locking rod one (1) and the locking rod two (4) form an angle, they are located on both sides of the tire (3). Therefore, the vehicle lock cannot be pulled out along the wheel axis from either side of the tire (3). Second, if the locking rod two (4) is a locking seat structure, a blocking surface is provided on the opposite side of the side of the locking seat where the locking rod one (1) is set. The blocking surface is set on the abutment part (2) of the locking seat and / or the locking rod one (1) and / or the rotating shaft. The locking rod one (1) and the blocking surface achieve the effect of preventing the vehicle lock from being pulled out along the wheel axis.

[0025] This portable car lock primarily relies on a locking structure to lock the relative angle between the locking levers. To achieve angle locking, the connection structure between the locking lever and the rotating shaft needs to be designed accordingly. For example, the locking lever and the rotating shaft can be coupled via gears, and locking is achieved through the relative movement of the gears. A combination of large and small gears can be used. This type of structure typically uses a motor that drives the locking lever relative to the rotating shaft via a gear set. When the motor stops rotating, if the small gear is connected to the locking lever or rotating shaft, the large gear paired with the small gear will not be able to drive it due to insufficient torque. When the motor stops running, the angle is locked. Of course, for more reliable locking, locking gears can also be used. The above is just one possible structure for driving the locking lever, and it is not the only one. A sprocket structure can also be used, and the corresponding locking structure can be designed according to the specific drive structure to achieve the locking effect. Alternatively, a connecting rod can be used to lock the angle between the two locking levers.

[0026] This invention incorporates a control circuit to enable smart IoT, allowing users to lock or check the lock status of their car locks via mobile devices such as smartphones. The control circuit typically includes a drive module for driving the locking mechanism and a wireless communication module for communicating with external devices. The output of the drive module is connected to the electronic drive component of the locking mechanism. The wireless communication module allows for locking and unlocking of the car lock via wireless communication, and also provides information on the lock's operating status.

[0027] In addition, to make it easier for users to understand the working status of the car lock, LEDs are installed on the car lock. Different LED display effects indicate the status of the car lock, such as different light colors indicating whether the car lock is locked or unlocked.

[0028] In addition, since the electronic equipment related to the vehicle lock requires power, a solar panel can be added to charge the built-in battery to prevent the operation of various electronic systems from being affected when the battery is low on power.

[0029] A GPS location module can also be installed inside the car lock so that users can track and locate the car lock, i.e., the vehicle.
