[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4A waterproof and sealed padlock according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a lock body 100; a lock beam 200 movably disposed on the lock body 100, the lock beam 200 having a U-shaped segment that can form an annular shape with the lock body 100, and locking grooves 210 provided on opposite sides of the U-shaped segment; two clutches 300 slidably disposed on the lock body 100 in opposite directions to be able to enter and exit the locking grooves 210; a lock cylinder 400 disposed inside the lock body 100, the keyhole 410 of the lock cylinder 400 being exposed on the surface of the lock cylinder 400; and a sealing cover assembly 500 movably disposed on the lock body 100, capable of covering the outside of the lock cylinder 400 to cover the keyhole 410.

[0030] The waterproof and sealed padlock with the above structure uses a sealing cover assembly 500 to cover the outside of the lock cylinder 400 when not unlocking, thus blocking the keyhole 410. This prevents water or dust from entering the lock cylinder 400 through the keyhole 410, avoiding chemical corrosion and rust, as well as dust and other particles clogging the keyhole 410. When unlocking is needed, the sealing cover assembly is removed to expose the keyhole 410. After inserting the key into the keyhole 410 and turning it, the output end of the lock cylinder 400 drives the two clutches 300 to unlock and move closer to each other to disengage from the locking groove 210 of the lock beam 200. It is convenient to use and can protect the lock cylinder 400 to achieve waterproof and dustproof effects, ensuring that the padlock can be used normally for a long time.

[0031] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the lock body 100 has an annular sleeve 110 formed on the outer periphery of the lock cylinder 400 near the keyhole 410. The sealing cover assembly 500 includes a cover 510 detachably fitted onto the outside of the annular sleeve 110. The cover 510 has a sealing element 520 inside that can seal the port of the annular sleeve 110. It is understood that when the cover 510 is fitted onto the annular sleeve 110, there is still a gap between the cover 510 and the annular sleeve 110. Water can easily seep into the cover 510 through this gap. As the amount of water accumulates, water will seep into the lock cylinder 400. The sealing element 520 can solve the problem of waterproofing.

[0032] It should be noted that the cover 510 can only be removed from the lock body 100 before unlocking can be performed. After locking, the cover 510 needs to be reinstalled on the lock body 100 to cover the keyhole 410 of the lock cylinder 400. During this process, the cover 510 is easily lost. In some embodiments of this utility model, the lower outer peripheral wall of the lock body 100 is provided with a second annular groove 120 with an inward groove. An annular elastic band 610 is provided in the second annular groove 120. A connecting post 511 extends downward from the lower end of the cover 510. A connecting band 620 connected to the connecting post 511 is formed on one side of the annular elastic band 610. Specifically, the annular elastic band 610 and the connecting band 620 are rubber bands with an integral structure. The annular elastic band 610 elastically clamps the second annular groove 120 to prevent the annular elastic band 610 from falling off the lock body 100. When the cover 510 is removed, the cover 510 is suspended below the lock body 100 by the connecting band 620 to prevent the cover 510 from being lost.

[0033] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the cover 510 has an upward-opening cavity, and the inner peripheral wall of the cavity is provided with a first annular groove 530 communicating with its bottom wall. The sealing element 520 is a silicone disc embedded in the first annular groove 530. When the cover 510 is installed on the annular sleeve 110, the silicone disc is sandwiched between the bottom wall of the cavity and the lower end face of the annular sleeve 110. Generally, the cover 510 is made of plastic material, and the silicone disc is more flexible than the cover 510, making it easier to elastically deform to abut against the lower end face of the annular sleeve 110 and seal the lower port of the annular sleeve 110. During manufacturing, the cover 510 and the silicone disc are machined separately, and then the silicone disc is inserted into the first annular groove 530.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to improve the sealing performance and prevent the silicone disc from being unable to contact the entire lower end face of the annular sleeve 110 when it is squeezed and deformed, the upper end face of the silicone disc is provided with an annular protrusion 521 that matches the lower edge of the annular sleeve 110, and the wall thickness of the annular protrusion 521 is greater than or equal to the wall thickness of the annular sleeve 110.

[0035] See Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments of this utility model, the sidewall of the annular sleeve 110 is provided with at least two rotating slots 710 around its central axis, and the inner peripheral wall of the cover 510 is provided with positioning protrusions 720 corresponding to the rotating slots 710. When the cover 510 is installed on the annular sleeve 110, the user grasps the cover 510 and inserts it with the lower end of the annular sleeve 110 aligned with the cavity. The silicone disc contacts the lower end face of the annular sleeve 110 and generates vertical pressure. At the same time, the positioning protrusions 720 enter the corresponding rotating slots 710. After rotating a certain angle, the cover 510 cannot be pulled out directly downwards.

[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the rotating slot 710 includes an inlet / outlet slot 711 extending upward from the lower end of the annular sleeve 110 and an arcuate slot 712 connected to the upper end of the inlet / outlet slot 711 and extending around the outer peripheral wall of the annular sleeve 110. The positioning protrusion 720 is a positioning pin that passes through the side wall of the cover 510. Specifically, in this embodiment, two positioning pins are provided, and two corresponding rotating slots 710 are provided. When the cover 510 moves upward relative to the lock body 100 to insert the annular sleeve 110 into the cavity, the positioning pin moves upward along the inlet / outlet slot 711 to the upper end of the inlet / outlet slot 711. Then, the cover 510 rotates a certain angle relative to the annular sleeve 110, and the positioning pin leaves the inlet / outlet slot 711 and moves to one end of the arcuate slot 712. When it is necessary to remove the cover 510, the cover 510 rotates in the opposite direction to the annular sleeve 110 by the same angle. After the positioning pin moves to the upper end of the inlet / outlet groove 711, it can move downward along the inlet / outlet groove 711, thereby disengaging the cover 510 from the annular sleeve 110.

[0037] See Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the lock body 100 is provided with a vertical channel 130 for the two ends of the U-shaped segment to slide up and down, and the outer peripheral walls of the two ends of the U-shaped segment are fitted with a first sealing ring 800 that fits tightly with the inner peripheral wall of the vertical channel 130. It can be understood that the first sealing ring 800 eliminates the gap between the lock beam 200 and the vertical channel 130, improves the sealing performance, and prevents water or dust from entering the vertical channel 130 from the gap, causing the lock beam 200 to jam when rotating.

[0038] See Figure 2In some embodiments of this utility model, the lock body 100 is provided with a horizontal channel 140, the two ends of the horizontal channel 140 are respectively connected to the two vertical channels 130, the middle part of the lock body 100 is provided with a vertically downward through mounting channel 150, the upper end of the mounting channel 150 is connected to the middle part of the horizontal channel 140, the lock cylinder 400 is fixedly installed in the mounting channel 150, the output end of the lock cylinder 400 is connected to a rotating lever 420, the upper outer peripheral wall of the rotating lever 420 is provided with a relief groove corresponding to the two locking grooves 210, the clutch 300 is a ball that can enter and exit the relief groove, and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating lever 420 is fitted with a second sealing ring 900 that is tightly fitted with the inner peripheral wall of the mounting channel 150. It should be noted that even if the first sealing ring 800 fails, and water enters the installation channel 150 through the vertical channel 130 and the horizontal channel 140 in sequence, the second sealing ring 900 can still prevent water from further seeping into the lock cylinder 400. Moreover, the second sealing ring 900 also helps the rotating lever 420 to rotate stably around the axial direction of the installation channel 150. When the clearance groove of the rotating lever 420 is facing the ball, the lock beam 200 is pulled upward, and the ball moves toward the clearance groove.

[0039] See Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, a threaded channel 160 is provided on one side of the lock body 100, communicating with the position of the mounting channel 150 corresponding to the lock cylinder 400. A set screw 170 connected to the lock cylinder 400 is provided within the threaded channel 160, and the thread surface of the set screw 170 is covered with a waterproof adhesive layer that fits tightly with the threaded channel 160. It is understood that the waterproof adhesive layer helps eliminate the gap between the thread of the set screw 170 and the threaded channel 160, further improving the waterproof effect. In this embodiment, the outer port of the threaded channel 160 is also closed by the aforementioned annular elastic band 610.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
