Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of locks, and more particularly to a portable lock that can be equipped with GPS. Background Technology
[0002] A portable lock is a type of lock designed to provide security and convenience, typically used to protect personal belongings, luggage, tents, and other small items.
[0003] As mentioned earlier, this type of lock is designed for small items, which are inherently lightweight and easily lost or stolen. Furthermore, these small items are not specifically designed for GPS mounting. Although GPS devices have lanyards, the locking area of portable locks is too small to simultaneously lock both the GPS and the small item. Therefore, a common solution is to place a GPS device inside the small item. However, limitations in certain materials can affect the transmission and reception of GPS signals, such as the fact that these small items are made of aluminum. Thus, current portable locks suffer from a limitation in their versatility, lacking the ability to be linked to a GPS device. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a portable lock that can be equipped with a GPS device, offering a design for binding with a GPS device and overcoming the limitation of its single-use functionality.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a portable lock that can install a GPS device, comprising a lock body and a locking rod disposed on the lock body. The locking rod has a region protruding outside the lock body, and the locking rod also has a locking region between the aforementioned region and the lock body after being locked together, which together form a locking area for locking an object. The lock body is characterized by comprising a first part that internally encloses a lock cylinder and a second part that locks the GPS device. One end of the first part is rotatably connected to one end of the second part. The other end of the second part is provided with a socket that is adapted to one end of the locking rod. The socket is inserted into the first part by rotating the second part. After one end of the locking rod is inserted into the socket, it locks and engages with the lock cylinder.
[0006] Furthermore, the lock cylinder includes a combination wheel, a lock valve, and a spring. The lock rod has a first end for locking, and the first end is provided with a locking groove. The combination wheel is fitted onto the lock valve, and one end of the lock valve is a lock tongue that cooperates with the locking groove. The spring is fitted onto the lock valve and is located between the combination wheel and the lock valve.
[0007] Furthermore, the latch has a tapered surface that extends into the locking groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the lock cylinder is equipped with a flexible plate, the combination wheel has a number pattern area, and there are grooves between each number pattern area. The actuation area on the flexible plate is located in the grooves.
[0009] Furthermore, the first part is provided with through holes through which the two ends of the locking rod pass, and the first part is provided with a positioning top post and a mounting base tube. The positioning top post is coaxially arranged with the combination wheel, and the positioning top post is in close contact with the inner wall of the through hole by pressing against the mounting base tube.
[0010] Furthermore, the positioning top post is made of cushioning material.
[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second parts are arc-shaped, and when joined together, they form a ring structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the locking lever is U-shaped.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model improves the structure of the portable lock. Specifically, the lock body is designed as two separable parts that are rotatably connected. In other words, the lock body itself is designed to be used in conjunction with the GPS lanyard. Therefore, this utility model locks small items with the locking rod, and the lock body provides an additional locking method to bind with the GPS lanyard. Thus, this utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art which is only used for a single purpose.
[0015] 2. The locking between the first and second parts still relies on the locking between the locking rod and the lock cylinder. The socket in the second part is passed through by one end of the locking rod. Therefore, when not unlocked, the second part is completely locked by the locking rod. This design of the lock body mainly utilizes the original locking method of the locking rod and the lock cylinder, reducing the need for additional locking structures between the first and second parts, which is beneficial for the control of the lock body volume and control.

[0025] This utility model is a portable lock that can install a GPS device, comprising a lock body 1 and a locking rod 2 disposed on the lock body 1. The locking rod 2 has a region protruding outside the lock body 1, and the locking rod 2 also has a locking region 1-a between the above-mentioned region and the lock body 1 after locking with the lock body 1, which forms a locking region 1-a for locking the item. The lock body 1 is characterized in that it is composed of a first part 100 that internally encloses a lock cylinder and a second part 101 that locks the GPS device. One end of the first part 100 is rotatably connected to one end of the second part 101. The other end of the second part 101 is provided with a socket 101-a that is adapted to one end of the locking rod 2. The socket 101-a is inserted into the first part 100 by rotating the second part 101. After one end of the locking rod 2 is inserted into the socket 101-a, it is locked and engaged with the lock cylinder.
[0026] This utility model improves the structure of the portable lock. Specifically, the lock body 1 is designed as two separable parts that are rotatably connected. In other words, the lock body 1 itself is designed to be used in conjunction with the GPS lanyard. Therefore, this utility model locks small items with the locking rod 2, and the lock body 1 provides an additional locking method to bind with the GPS lanyard. Thus, this utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art which is only used for a single purpose.
[0027] The locking between the first part 100 and the second part 101 still relies on the locking between the locking rod 2 and the lock cylinder. The insertion port 101-a in the second part 101 is passed through by one end of the locking rod 2. Therefore, when not unlocked, the second part 101 is completely locked by the locking rod 2. This design of the lock body 1 mainly utilizes the original locking method between the locking rod 2 and the lock cylinder, reducing the need for additional locking structures between the first part 100 and the second part 101, which is beneficial for controlling the volume and control of the lock body 1.
[0028] It should be noted that the locking lever 2 is U-shaped.
[0029] Furthermore, the lock cylinder includes a combination wheel 3, a lock valve 4, and a spring 5. The lock rod 2 has a first end 21 for locking, and a locking groove 21a is provided on the first end 21. The combination wheel 3 is fitted onto the lock valve 4, and one end of the lock valve 4 is a locking tongue 41 that cooperates with the locking groove 21a. The spring 5 is fitted onto the lock valve 4 and is located between the combination wheel 3 and the lock valve 4. This solution provides an implementation plan for a combination lock, the advantage of which is that no key is required, making it convenient and quick.
[0030] The inner circumferential surface of the combination wheel 3 is provided with a protrusion for unlocking. The circumferential surface of the locking valve 4 is provided with an annular groove 42 to avoid the protrusion. The circumferential surface of the locking valve 4 is also provided with a linear groove 43 that passes through the annular groove 42. When unlocking, by rotating the combination wheel 3, the protrusion falls into the linear groove 43. At this time, because the protrusion will not obstruct the linear movement of the locking valve 4, the first end 21 of the locking rod 2 is pulled out.
[0031] Furthermore, the locking tongue 41 has a tapered surface that penetrates into the locking groove 21a. The tapered surface is designed to serve as a guide, making the first end 21 of the locking bar 2 easier to pull out.
[0032] Furthermore, the lock cylinder is also equipped with an elastic locking plate 6 (the lock cylinder is equipped with a slot structure for positioning the elastic locking plate 6), and the combination wheel 3 is equipped with a number pattern area. There is a groove 31 between each number pattern area. The actuating area 61 on the elastic locking plate 6 is located in the groove 31. Each time a number is rotated, the elastic locking plate 6 deforms and locks into the next groove 31. This fixing method ensures the consistency between the protrusion and the linear groove 43, and avoids jamming that would cause the unlocking to fail.
[0033] Furthermore, the first part 100 is provided with through holes through which the two ends of the locking rod 2 pass. The first part 100 is provided with a positioning top post 7 and a mounting seat tube 8. The positioning top post 7 is coaxially arranged with the combination wheel 3, and the positioning top post 7 is in close contact with the inner wall of the through hole against the mounting seat tube 8. The positioning top post 7 has two functions. First, it further limits the mounting seat tube 8. Specifically, one end of the positioning top post 7 is adapted to the concave shape of the mounting seat tube 8. After using the positioning top post 7, the mounting seat tube 8 can be prevented from shaking. Second, the locking valve 4 is made of metal material, and some parts in the first part 100 are also made of metal material. In order to avoid the situation of scratches caused by rigid contact, the positioning top post 7 is set to solve this problem. Furthermore, the positioning top post 7 is made of cushioning material (plastic in this embodiment). The positioning top post 7 blocks the locking valve 4 from passing through the third combination wheel 3.
[0034] Furthermore, both the first part 100 and the second part 101 are arc-shaped, and the two are spliced together to form a ring structure. The arc shape is designed because this shape has no corner design, which avoids scratching the GPS mounting port.
[0035] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
