The adjustment port 22 contains a return spring 24 that connects to the adjustment push plate 23 and the inner wall of the adjustment port 22. First, each combination... After wheel 9 rotates to the correct combination, it pushes the adjusting push plate 23, which compresses the return spring 24. The adjusting push plate 23 drives the moving plate 19 to move, which in turn drives the support plate 20 to move. The support plate 20 pushes the ejector rod 21 to move, which extends into the limiting hole 18 and compresses the pin of the spring pin 17. The ejector rod 21 limits the lock sleeve 6 to prevent it from rotating. The combination wheels 9 are rotated to set the combination. Then the adjusting push plate 23 is released, and the ejector rod 21 separates from the limiting hole 18 under the reset action of the return spring 24. The pin of the spring pin 17 corresponding to the combination wheel 9 is then matched with the limiting hole 18, thus completing the change setting of the combination lock 3.
[0028] The sleeve plate 4 is provided with a guide slide rod 25 inside, and multiple support plates 20 are provided with guide holes for the guide slide rod 25 to pass through, which improves the stability of the movement of the support plate 20.

[0030] The two ends of the cut tube 5 are connected to the sleeve plate 4 and the locking sleeve 6 respectively via bearings, which improves the smoothness of the rotation of the locking sleeve 6.
[0031] During operation, the equipped mechanical combination lock 3 prevents thieves from unlocking the restraint strap or maliciously removing the restraint strap to steal the pet, thus improving pet security. Owners can quickly unlock and lock the device using a combination. It features a simple structure and easy operation. The mechanical combination lock 3 requires no power supply, making it suitable for outdoor use and less susceptible to rain or dust. The anti-tamper strap 2 is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, making it lightweight, high-strength, cut-resistant, and flexible, preventing thieves from quickly cutting the restraint strap. To disassemble, simply turn several combination wheels 9, and the spring pin 17... When the pin is matched with the limiting hole 18, the combination wheel 9 will drive the lock sleeve 6 to rotate. After rotating to the set combination, the through slot 8 and the lock tongue 12 on the inner wall of the lock sleeve 6 will rotate to the same straight line, and the lock rod 11 can be pulled out. At the same time, the lock tongue 12 will move out of the through slot 8, and the lock can be opened. After putting it on the pet's neck, align the lock tongue 12 and the through slot 8, insert the lock rod 11 into the through hole 7, and rotate the combination wheel 9 several times. The combination wheel 9 drives the lock sleeve 6 to rotate through the connecting ring plate 14. The through slot 8 on the inner wall of the lock sleeve 6 will rotate to a position that does not correspond to the lock tongue 12, that is, a misaligned position, and the lock rod 11 can be locked to prevent thieves from stealing it.
[0032] When changing the combination of the mechanical combination lock 3, first rotate each combination wheel 9 to the correct combination, then push the adjusting push plate 23. The adjusting push plate 23 compresses the return spring 24, which in turn drives the moving plate 19 to move. The moving plate 19 drives the support plate 20 to move, and the support plate 20 pushes the ejector rod 21 to move. The ejector rod 21 extends into the limiting hole 18 and compresses the pin of the spring pin 17. The ejector rod 21 limits the lock sleeve 6 to prevent it from rotating. Rotate each combination wheel 9 to set the combination. Then release the adjusting push plate 23. Under the reset action of the return spring 24, the ejector rod 21 separates from the limiting hole 18, and the pin of the spring pin 17 corresponding to the combination wheel 9 matches the limiting hole 18. This completes the combination setting of the mechanical combination lock 3.
