[0026] like Figures 1-11 As shown, a combination folding lock includes a main body 200 equipped with a combination component 100. The main body 200 contains a locking rod 210 that cooperates with the combination component 100 for unlocking and locking. One side of the main body 200 has several connecting rods 300 that are hinged together. The tail end of the connecting rod 300 is rotatably connected to the main body 200, and the head end of the connecting rod 300 forms a locking ring 310 for locking onto a carrier by being inserted into the main body 200. The main body 200 has a locking groove 220 for the connecting rods 300 to enter and exit and cooperate with the locking rod 210. The main body 200 contains a first spring structure 230 that always forces the locking rod 210 into the locking groove 220. The addition of the first spring structure 230 ensures that the locking rod 210 remains inserted into the locking groove 220, preventing the connecting rods 300 from being pulled out. The carrier generally refers to a bicycle or other means of transportation. Specific usage methods are described below.
[0027] The upper part of the locking rod 210 is provided with a pressing part 211 for easy unlocking by pushing the locking rod 210. The locking rod 210 and the pressing part 211 are integrated structures. The pressing part 211 is easy to operate by hand. The integrated structure of the locking rod 210 and the pressing part 211 makes the structure more robust, easier to process, easier to assemble, and more practical.
[0028] The bottom of the pressing part 211 is provided with connecting posts 212 on both sides. A through hole 213 is formed between the two connecting posts 212 to connect the locking groove 220 and allow the connecting rod 300 to pass through. The arrangement of the two connecting posts 212 makes the through hole 213 located in the center, which makes the structure stable and the pressing smoother.
[0029] The locking rod 210 is provided with a guide surface 214 at a position relative to the connecting rod 300 to facilitate locking of the connecting rod 300. With the addition of the guide surface 214, when the connecting rod 300 is inserted into the through hole 213, there is no need to press the pressing part 211. The connecting rod 300 will cause the locking rod 210 to move up and down until the connecting rod 300 is locked into the main body 200.
[0030] The main body 200 has a male rod 400 for assembling the password component 100 and for the reciprocating movement of the locking rod 210. The main body 200 also has a groove 240 for mounting the male rod 400. The male rod 400 has a groove 410 for the reciprocating movement of the pressing part 211. The groove wall of the groove 410 has a fixing block 420 to prevent the pressing part 211 from disengaging from the groove 410. The side of the male rod 400 has a first limiting groove 430 that communicates with the groove 410 and allows the fixing block 420 to reciprocate. The pressing part 211... The locking rod 210 is installed by the cooperation of the fixing block 420 and the first limiting groove 430 to achieve the limited reciprocating motion in the groove 410. When installing the locking rod 210, the locking rod 210 is inserted into the male row 400, and then the fixing blocks 420 on both sides are installed. The male row 400 is fixed in the main body 200 by the round pin 450. The fixing block 420 is provided with a stop part 421, and the connecting column 212 is provided with a stop part 216 that cooperates with the stop part 421. The fixing block 420 and the locking rod 210 are linked by the cooperation of the stop part 421 and the stop part 216.
[0031] The bottom of the male bar 400 is provided with a guide post 440 for the reciprocating movement of the locking rod 210. The locking rod 210 is provided with a protrusion 215 for unlocking and locking. The side of the guide post 440 is provided with a groove 441 that matches the protrusion 215. The password assembly 100 includes an outer password wheel 110 and an inner password wheel 120 that are linked together. The outer password wheel 110 and the inner password wheel 120 are sleeved on the guide post 440. The inner password wheel 120 is provided with a slot 121 that matches the protrusion 215 for unlocking. In the unlocked state, the projection surface of the protrusion 215 coincides with the slot 121. When all the slots 121 on the inner password wheels 120 correspond to the protrusion 215, the locking rod 210 can move freely up and down, which means it has entered the unlocked state. When the inner password wheel 120 is stuck on the protrusion 215, it is in the locked state, and the locking rod 210 cannot move freely.
[0032] The outer code wheel 110 is provided with a limiting hole 111 for linkage with the inner code wheel 120. The side of the inner code wheel 120 is provided with a protrusion 122 that cooperates with the limiting hole 111. The outer code wheel 110 and the inner code wheel 120 are linked through the cooperation of the limiting hole 111 and the protrusion 122.
[0033] The inner code wheel 120 has an inner wheel 130 on one side, which is sleeved on the guide post 440. The outer side of the guide post 440 has a recess 442 to prevent relative rotation between the inner wheel 130 and the guide post 440. The inner side of the inner wheel 130 has an arched part 131 that matches the recessed part 442. The inner wheel 130 achieves a limited reciprocating motion on the guide post 440 through the cooperation of the recessed part 442 and the arched part 131. The addition of the inner wheel 130 mainly provides sound feedback when the outer code wheel 110 rotates. Due to the cooperation of the recessed part 442 and the arched part 131, the inner wheel 130 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 440 and does not rotate relative to the guide post 440. However, the inner wheel 130 can move up and down along the outside of the guide post 440.
[0034] The first spring structure 230 is disposed between the inner wheel 130 and the male row 400. The inner side of the outer code wheel 110 is provided with a plurality of second limiting grooves 112 arranged in a ring with the axial direction of the outer code wheel 110 as the center. The outer side of the inner wheel 130 is provided with spring arms 132 that cooperate with the second limiting grooves 112. The outer code wheel 110 and the inner wheel 130 switch the positions of different second limiting grooves 112 through the spring arms 132 to form a gear-type rotational cooperation. The spring arms 132 have elastic restoring force. When the second limiting grooves 112 are switched by the spring arms 132, a collision occurs and a sound is generated.
[0035] The bottom of the locking rod 210 is provided with a code adjustment button 500 for pushing the inner code wheel 120. The main body 200 is provided with a mounting hole 250 for the code adjustment button 500 to reciprocate. The code adjustment button 500 is provided with a guide groove 510 for the locking rod 210 to reciprocate. The guide groove 510 is provided with a second spring structure 520 that forces the code adjustment button 500 away from the inner code wheel 120. The inner code wheel 120 is disengaged from the outer code wheel 110 by the cooperation of the code adjustment button 500 to achieve code adjustment.
[0036] How to use:
[0037] First, the outer combination wheel 110 and the inner combination wheel 120 are linked. When the combination is correct, all the slots 121 on the inner combination wheel 120 correspond to the protrusions 215 on the locking rod 210, so the locking rod 210 can move. Due to the presence of the first spring structure 230, the locking rod 210 still extends into the lock groove 220 to pull the connecting rod 300. At this time, pressing the pressing part 211 releases the connecting rod 300. At this time, unfolding the connecting rod 300 can lock the bicycle. Release the locking rod 210 and scramble the combination again. When it is necessary to fold and store, simply insert the connecting rod 300 back into the lock groove 220. The presence of the guide surface 214 causes the locking rod 210 to move downward temporarily. When the connecting rod 300 is inserted into place, the first spring structure 230 causes the locking rod 210 to lock the connecting rod 300 again, waiting for the next use.
[0038] Code switching method:
[0039] When the password is incorrect, the inner password wheel 120 will be blocked by the locking lever 210. Therefore, when the password is correct, press and hold the code adjustment button 500. The code adjustment button 500 will cause the inner password wheel 120 to move and disengage from the outer password wheel 110. At this time, adjust the outer password wheel 110 to set a new password. After adjusting the password, release the code adjustment button 500. Under the action of the second spring structure 520, the code adjustment button 500 will reset.
