[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A hockey lock comprising:
[0040] Lock body 2, wherein the lock body 2 is provided with a bolt hole 21;
[0041] Locking component 3, which is located inside the lock body 2 and moves between a locked position and an unlocked position, and when the locking component 3 is in the locked position, a portion of the locking component 3 penetrates the bolt hole 21;
[0042] A limiting component 4 is located on the lock body 2. When the limiting component 4 and the locking component 3 are in a first position relative to each other, the limiting component 4 restricts the locking component 3 from moving from the locked position to the unlocked position.
[0043] The elastic element 5 connects the locking component 3 and the lock body 2. When the limiting component 4 and the locking component 3 are relatively disengaged from the first position, the elastic element 5 drives the locking component 3 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.
[0044] By setting the above structure, a hockey lock is provided, which can release the restriction of the limiting component 4 on the locking component 3 by disengaging the limiting component 4 and the locking component 3 from the first position when the key is inserted for unlocking. This allows the elastic member 5 to drive the locking component 3 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby achieving fast, efficient and stable unlocking and locking, and improving the reliability and convenience of the hockey lock in practical applications.
[0045] It should be understood that when the hockey lock performs the unlocking function, the limiting component 4 no longer restricts the locking component 3 from moving from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the elastic element 5 drives the locking component 3 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. The part of the locking component 3 that originally passed through the latch hole 21 disengages from the latch hole 21 to achieve unlocking.
[0046] In this embodiment, the locking component 3 is provided with a rotating groove 31 and a limiting groove 32. The limiting groove 32 is connected to the rotating groove 31. The locking component 3 is provided with a second snap-fit member 36. The limiting component 4 is provided corresponding to the limiting groove 32. The second snap-fit member 36 is rotatably disposed in the rotating groove 31.
[0047] By setting a rotating groove 31 and rotatably mounting the second locking member 36 within the rotating groove 31, a precise track and range for the rotation of the second locking member 36 can be provided, ensuring that it rotates within a specified angle and position. This makes the movement of the second locking member 36 more accurate and stable, thereby ensuring the positional accuracy of the entire locking assembly 3 during operation. By setting a limiting groove 32 and aligning the limiting assembly 4 with the limiting groove 32, the hockey lock can achieve relatively simple switching between locking and unlocking. For example, when the user needs to lock the hockey lock, they only need to rotate the second locking member 36 to the limiting assembly 4, so that the second locking member 36 abuts against the lower surface of the limiting assembly 4, which can restrict the movement of the locking assembly 3 from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the user needs to unlock the hockey lock, they only need to rotate the second locking member 36 away from the limiting assembly 4, and the limiting groove 32 allows the limiting assembly 4 to move relative to the locking assembly 3 along the longitudinal axis A of the locking assembly 3.
[0048] In this embodiment, the locking component 3 is provided with a slot 33, the slot 33 having a length along the longitudinal axis of the locking component 3, the lock body 2 is provided with a first latching member 24, the first latching member 24 is inserted into the slot 33, and the first latching member 24 and the slot 33 can move relative to each other along the longitudinal axis of the locking component 3.
[0049] Through the cooperation of the slot 33 and the locking block, when the locking component 3 reaches the unlock position, it can be stably maintained in that position without any unexpected situations such as disengagement. By making the slot 33 have a length along the longitudinal axis A, and by allowing the first locking member 24 to be inserted into the slot 33, the first locking member 24 and the slot 33 can move relative to each other along the longitudinal axis A, providing a clear track and range for their movement in that direction, thereby achieving a precise positioning function. During the installation and use of the lock, the first locking member 24 can move within the slot 33 in a predetermined direction and distance, ensuring that the lock body 2 and the locking component 3 maintain an accurate relative position under different working conditions, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the lock.
[0050] It should be understood that the longitudinal axis of the locking component 3 refers to the center line along its main length direction.
[0051] In this embodiment, the locking component 3 includes a first locking member 34 and a second locking member 35. The rotating groove 31 and the limiting groove 32 are located on the first locking member 34, and the second snap-fit member 36 is located on the second locking member 35. The second locking member 35 can rotate relative to the first locking member 34.
[0052] By setting the rotating groove 31 and the limiting groove 32 on the first locking member 34 and the second locking member 36 on the second locking member 35, the limiting function is made more precise. When the second locking member 35 rotates, the second locking member 36 and the rotating groove 31 cooperate with each other to accurately control the rotation range and position of the second locking member 35, ensuring that each component of the lock is accurately in the predetermined position during the locking and unlocking process, and avoiding excessive rotation or insufficient rotation.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first locking member 24 is a locking pin, which is interference-fitted to the lock body 2.
[0054] The aforementioned structure ensures that the locking pin is firmly fixed to the lock body 2, preventing loosening or detachment. This provides a reliable connection between the locking assembly 3 and the lock body 2, guaranteeing the integrity and stability of the overall lock structure. Furthermore, since the locking pin needs to withstand certain external forces during lock operation, such as tension, pressure, and potential impacts during locking and unlocking, the interference fit allows the locking pin and lock body 2 to share these forces, effectively preventing displacement or damage due to external forces and ensuring the lock operates normally under various working conditions.
[0055] In this embodiment, the lock body 2 is provided with a mounting groove 22, the locking component 3 is located in the mounting groove 22, the lock tongue hole 21 is connected to the mounting groove 22, and the elastic element 5 is disposed at the bottom of the mounting groove 22.
[0056] By placing the locking component 3 within the mounting groove 22, a specific installation position is provided for the locking component 3, ensuring accurate positioning within the lock body 2 and facilitating assembly. By connecting the bolt hole 21 to the mounting groove 22, a portion of the locking component 3 can extend or retract through the bolt hole 21 to lock or release other components. By placing the elastic element 5 at the bottom of the mounting groove 22, a stable elastic force is provided to the locking component 3. When unlocking is required, the elastic element 5 drives the locking component 3 from the locked position to the unlocked position, providing power support for the unlocking action.
[0057] In this embodiment, the lock body 2 is provided with a fixing groove 25, which is connected to the bolt hole 21. When the locking component 3 is in the locked position, the lower end of the locking component 3 is inserted into the fixing groove 25.
[0058] The aforementioned structure provides a precise positioning reference for the locking component 3. When the locking component 3 is in the locked position, its lower end can accurately insert into the fixing groove 25, ensuring that the relative position between the locking component 3 and the lock body 2 is fixed, preventing shaking or displacement, and ensuring that the lock achieves a precise and reliable locking effect every time. Furthermore, the tight fit between the fixing groove 25 and the lower end of the locking component 3 increases the force-bearing area and connection strength of the lock in the locked state. When subjected to external force, such as an attempt to forcibly open the lock, this structure can disperse the external force to a larger area, improving the lock's resistance to damage and making the lock more secure.
[0059] In this embodiment, the shape of the fixing groove 25 corresponds to the lower end of the locking component 3.
[0060] By making the shape of the fixing groove 25 correspond to the lower end of the locking component 3, the locking component 3 can be effectively fixed, preventing relative shaking, effectively improving the stability of the hockey lock when locking, and extending its service life.
[0061] In this embodiment, when the locking component 3 is in the locked position, the upper surface of the locking component 3 and the upper surface of the lock body 2 are on the same plane.
[0062] With the above-mentioned structure, when the lock body 2 is subjected to external force, since the locking component 3 and the lock body 2 are on the same plane, the force can be transmitted and distributed more evenly between the two, avoiding deformation and damage caused by uneven local force, which helps to extend the service life of the lock. In addition, the same plane structure also makes the connection between the locking component 3 and the lock body 2 tighter and more stable. During long-term use, it can reduce the loosening or displacement of parts caused by vibration, friction and other factors, ensuring the stability and reliability of the lock structure.
[0063] In this embodiment, one end of the elastic element 5 abuts against the lower end face of the locking component 3, and the other end of the elastic element 5 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 22.
[0064] Due to factors such as component manufacturing precision and installation errors, there may be a certain gap or positional deviation between the locking component 3 and the mounting groove 22. The elastic element 5 can compensate for these tolerances through its own elastic deformation, ensuring that the locking component 3 can work normally and is not affected by minor dimensional deviations. Furthermore, the presence of the elastic element 5 gives the locking component 3 a certain degree of flexibility during installation. For example, it allows installers to adjust the position of the locking component 3 without being too precise. As long as the elastic element 5 is installed correctly, it will automatically make minor adjustments to the position of the locking component 3, enabling it to better cooperate with other components, reducing installation difficulty and improving installation efficiency.
[0065] The above description provides one or more embodiments in conjunction with specific content, and does not imply that the specific implementation of this application is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to or identical to those of this application, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this application, should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
