[0004] The above patent realizes double locking through the cooperation of marbles and steel balls, forms a two-stage lock to improve the locking effect. However, because the double locking structure is set, the number of marbles is reduced, the structure is simplified, and finally the anti-theft capability is reduced, which needs to be improved. SUMMARY
[0005] The application aims to provide a theftproof padlock which can solve the above problems.
[0006] The application aims to provide a theftproof padlock, which comprises:
[0007] An outer shell comprising an upper shell body and a lower shell body;
[0008] A locking structure arranged in the lower shell body;
[0009] A lock beam, one end of which penetrates through the upper shell body and extends into the lower shell body, and the other end of which can cooperate with the locking structure, and a reset spring arranged in the lower shell body and cooperating with the lock beam;
[0010] The locking structure is provided with a keyhole at the bottom, and the lock beam can be locked through the locking structure.
[0011] The anti-theft padlock comprises an upper shell and a lower shell which are fixedly connected by fasteners to form a closed space, a locking structure installed in the lower shell, the locking structure being capable of unlocking the lock bar when a key is inserted and rotated, one end of the lock bar extending through the upper shell and into the lower shell, the other end of the lock bar being capable of cooperating with the locking structure, the lock bar being freely movable when unlocked and being fixed by the locking structure when locked, and a reset spring installed in the lower shell and cooperating with the lock bar to eject the lock bar when unlocked.
[0012] By optimizing the locking structure and increasing the number and complexity of the marbles, the anti-theft capability of the lock is improved, and the lock bar is more stable in the locked state and is not easily pried or damaged by external force.
[0013] Further, the locking structure comprises:
[0014] a lock cylinder having an insertion slot for inserting a key;
[0015] a locking hook arranged at the top of the lock cylinder and used for locking the lock bar;
[0016] a locking assembly arranged in the lower shell and cooperating with the lock cylinder to lock the lock cylinder;
[0017] wherein the lock bar is provided with an annular clamping groove adapted to the locking hook, and the upper shell is provided with a through hole for the lock bar to enter.
[0018] The lock cylinder has an insertion slot for inserting a key, and when a correct key is inserted into the insertion slot and rotated, the lock cylinder is rotated to drive other locking components to be unlocked. The locking hook is arranged at the top of the lock cylinder and used for locking the lock bar. When the lock bar is inserted into the shell through the through hole, the annular clamping groove of the lock bar cooperates with the locking hook on the lock cylinder to sequentially fix the lock bar so that the lock bar cannot move, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the lock in the locked state. The locking assembly is arranged in the lower shell and cooperates with the lock cylinder to lock the lock cylinder, and when the correct key drives the lock cylinder to rotate, the locking assembly will be displaced accordingly to unlock the padlock. The cooperation of the locking hook and the annular clamping groove ensures the stability and firmness of the lock in the locked state.
[0019] Further, the locking assembly comprises:
[0020] marbles arranged in the lower shell, the marbles comprising an inner marble group and an outer marble group;
[0021] a support spring;
[0022] The lock core is provided with a plurality of round holes matched with the outer pin group, and the lower shell is provided with a telescopic slot for the movement of the inner pin group, and the supporting spring is installed in the telescopic slot and in contact with the inner pin group.
[0023] The pins are installed in the lower shell and divided into an inner pin group and an outer pin group. The inner pin group and the outer pin group have different sizes and shapes and can adapt to different key tooth shapes. When the correct key is inserted into the lock core, the key tooth shape will match the inner pin group and the outer pin group, allowing them to reach a specific position, thereby allowing the lock core to rotate. The supporting spring is installed in the telescopic slot in the lower shell and in contact with the inner pin group, which can provide the necessary elastic force for the inner pin group to move smoothly when the key is inserted and return to the initial position when the key is pulled out, thereby ensuring that the inner pin group can remain in a stable position when the lock is not opened by the correct key, preventing the lock core from being illegally rotated. At the same time, the lock core is provided with a plurality of round holes matched with the outer pin group, and when the key is correctly inserted and rotated, the outer pin group will be pushed into the round hole under the action of the supporting spring, thereby allowing the lock core to continue to rotate.
[0024] Through the cooperation of the inner pin group and the outer pin group and the elastic force of the supporting spring, the anti-theft performance of the lock can be effectively improved.
[0025] Further, the inner pin group is composed of a plurality of inner pins of different lengths, and the outer pin group is composed of a plurality of outer pins of different lengths, and the inner pins and the outer pins are at least eight.
[0026] The inner pin group is composed of a plurality of inner pins of different lengths, and the length and arrangement order of these inner pins can be adjusted and produced according to demand to adapt to different key tooth shapes. Only when the correct key is inserted into the lock core, the key tooth shape will match each inner pin of the inner pin group, thereby allowing the lock core to rotate. Since the inner pin group contains a plurality of inner pins of different lengths, it can provide a more complex locking mechanism, thereby increasing the anti-theft performance of the lock. The outer pin group is also composed of a plurality of outer pins of different lengths, and together with the inner pin group, it forms a complex locking system. When the key is inserted into the lock core, the outer pin group will be displaced under the push of the key and match the inner pin group, allowing the lock core to rotate smoothly. Since the outer pin group also contains a plurality of outer pins of different lengths, it further enhances the anti-theft ability of the lock.
[0027] In order to further improve the anti-theft effect of the lock, at least eight inner pins are provided in the locking assembly of the present application. By increasing the number of inner pin groups and outer pin groups and their length variation, a more complex locking mechanism is provided, thereby further improving the anti-theft performance of the lock.
[0028] Further, the top of the lower shell is provided with a limiting protrusion, the top of the limiting protrusion is in contact with the top of the inner part of the upper shell, and a limiting rotation groove is formed between the two, the locking hook is located in the rotation groove, and the rotation groove is fan-shaped and has an arc of 90°.
[0029] By arranging the limiting protrusion on the top of the lower shell, the top of the limiting protrusion is in close contact with the top of the inner part of the upper shell, and a limiting rotation groove is formed between the two, so that the locking hook can be kept within a specific range during rotation, thereby increasing the stability and safety of the lock. The limiting rotation groove is fan-shaped and has an arc of 90°, so that the locking hook can only move within this 90° range during rotation, which not only limits the rotation range of the locking hook, but also limits the rotation range of the lock cylinder, thereby preventing the locking hook and the lock cylinder from rotating excessively under illegal operation.
[0030] Further, the outer part of the lower half of the lower shell is provided with an outwardly extending mounting protrusion, the top of the mounting protrusion is provided with a mounting ring groove, and the bottom of the upper shell is provided with a downwardly extending annular plug that is matched with the mounting sliding groove.
[0031] The mounting protrusion is located on the outer part of the lower half of the lower shell and is an integral structure with the clamping shell, the top of the mounting protrusion is provided with a mounting ring groove, and the mounting ring groove is annular. The bottom of the upper shell is provided with a downwardly extending annular plug that is matched with the mounting protrusion and the mounting ring groove on the lower shell, so as to ensure the close connection between the upper shell and the lower shell. Through the cooperation of the mounting protrusion, the mounting ring groove and the annular plug, the overall installation of the lock body becomes simpler, the user only needs to align and insert the upper shell and the lower shell, and finally fix them using fasteners, thereby improving the installation efficiency and convenience.
[0032] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0033] 1. By optimizing the locking structure, the number and complexity of the springs are increased, thereby improving the anti-theft performance of the lock, and making the lock beam more stable in the locked state and not easy to be pried or damaged by external force.
[0034] 2. By cooperating the locking hook with the annular clamping groove, the stability and firmness of the lock in the locked state are ensured.
[0035] 3. By increasing the number and length of the inner spring group and the outer spring group, a more complex locking mechanism is provided, and the anti-theft performance of the lock is further improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
