[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the position or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] First, please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention discloses a pedal lock with adjustable clamping groove width, comprising a lock body 10, the lock body 10 having a clamping part 11, the clamping part 11 including a first clamping arm 12 and a second clamping arm 13 disposed opposite to each other, a first clamping groove being formed between the first clamping arm 12 and the second clamping arm 13, the second clamping arm 13 being provided with a detachable splicing member 20, the splicing member 20 and the first clamping arm 12 forming a second clamping groove, the width of the second clamping groove being smaller than the width of the first clamping groove. By providing a detachable splice 20, the splice 20 can be installed or removed as needed, thereby changing the width of the clamping groove of the pedal lock, expanding its applicability, and enhancing its market competitiveness. For example, when the corresponding pedal rod is wider, the splice 20 can be removed, allowing the pedal rod to enter the first clamping groove formed between the first clamping arm 12 and the second clamping arm 13, thus restricting the pedal. When the corresponding pedal rod is narrower, the splice 20 can be installed on the second clamping arm 13, forming a narrower clamping groove between the splice 20 and the first clamping arm 12, thereby preventing the rod from becoming too loose in the clamping groove when locking, which would reduce the anti-theft performance.

[0033] In this invention, the splicing component 20 is provided with a sliding groove 21, and the first clamping arm 12 and the second clamping arm 13 are provided with fitting parts 14 corresponding to the sliding groove 21. During assembly, the splicing component 20 is fitted onto the inner side of the corresponding second clamping arm 13 from bottom to top, and the fitting part 14 is slidably fitted into the sliding groove 21. By using the sliding groove 21 and the fitting part 14 to install the splicing component 20, the splicing component 20 is easy to assemble and disassemble, and the overall structural strength of the lock body 10 is higher after the splicing component 20 is installed.

[0034] In this invention, the first clamping arm 12, the second clamping arm 13, and the splicing component 20 are all integrally formed from metal plates through bending. The sliding groove 21 is formed by bending the side wall of the splicing component 20 inward, and the sliding groove 21 extends along the length direction of the splicing component 20. The fitting part 14 is formed by bending the end of the side wall of the first clamping arm 12 or the second clamping arm 13 inward. By using bending to form the sliding groove 21 and the fitting part 14, the structure of the splicing component 20 and the clamping arm is simplified, and the structural strength of the splicing component 20 and the clamping arm is enhanced, thereby improving the anti-theft performance of the pedal lock.

[0035] Specifically, both the first clamping arm 12 and the second clamping arm 13 are provided with a first clearance notch 16 for the lock hook 15 of the lock body 10 to rotate. The splicing component 20 is provided with a second clearance notch 22 corresponding to the first clearance notch 16. Before locking, the lock hook 15 is rotated into the first clearance notch 16 of the first clamping arm 12 by the lock cylinder inside the lock body 10. When locking, the first clamping arm 12 and the second clamping arm 13 are respectively clamped on both sides of the pedal rod. The lock hook 15 is rotated into the second clamping arm 13 by the first clearance notch 16 of the second clamping arm 13 by the lock cylinder and moves upward until the lock hook 15 blocks the bottom of the pedal rod, thereby restricting the downward movement of the pedal. In this utility model, the internal structure of the lock body 10 adopts the mature existing technology in the field, which will not be described in detail here.

[0036] In this utility model, the lower outer sides of the first clamping arm 12 and the second clamping arm 13 are provided with detachable support feet 30. The support feet 30 are provided with blocking parts 33 to prevent the splicing parts 20 from sliding down. During assembly, the lower part of the splicing parts 20 near the support feet 30 abuts against the blocking parts 33. Specifically, the lower ends of the first clamping arm 12 and the second clamping arm 13 are provided with positioning plates 17. The support foot 30 has a horizontal base plate 31 and a triangular support part 32 located on the upper side of the base plate 31. The positioning plate 17 is provided with screw holes 18, and the base plate 31 is provided with positioning holes 34. The lower surface of the positioning plate 17 is provided with a positioning groove extending away from the clamping arm. The screw hole 18 is located in the positioning groove. The upper surface of the base plate 31 is provided with a positioning protrusion corresponding to the positioning groove. The positioning hole 34 penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the positioning protrusion. During assembly, the base plate 31 is attached to the lower side of the positioning plate 17, and the positioning protrusion is embedded in the positioning groove from bottom to top. A screw 40 passes through the positioning hole 34 from bottom to top and is screwed into the screw hole 18 to press and lock the base plate 31 onto the positioning plate 17. One side of the triangular support part 32 abuts against the outer side of the clamping arm. In this invention, the positioning plate 17 is formed by bending laterally outward from the lower end of the clamping arm, and the blocking part 33 is located at the end of the base plate 31 near the clamping arm. The lower surface of the base plate 31 is also provided with several anti-slip protrusions, which can be pressed into the car's carpet to prevent the pedal lock from sliding during use.

[0037] When disassembling the splicing component 20, this utility model only requires unscrewing the screw 40 and then removing the support foot 30. At this point, the splicing component 20 can be removed from the first clamping arm 12 from bottom to top. Finally, the support foot 30 can be fixed back onto the positioning plate 17. When installing the splicing component 20, it is only necessary to unscrew the screw 40, remove the support foot 30, and fit the splicing component 20 into the inner side of the first clamping arm 12 with the cooperation of the sliding groove 21 and the fitting part 14. Then, the support foot 30 can be fixed onto the positioning plate 17. At this time, the blocking part 33 on the support foot 30 blocks one side of the lower end of the splicing component 20, so that the splicing component 20 will not fall off the first clamping arm 12.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in actual use, the splicing component 20 can also be installed on the first clamping arm 12, thereby forming a second clamping groove between the splicing component 20 and the second clamping arm 13.

[0039] It should also be noted that this utility model can also be provided with two splicing parts 20, which are respectively installed on the first clamping arm 12 and the second clamping arm 13, thereby forming a second clamping groove between the two splicing parts 20. In actual use, the splicing parts 20 can also be sleeved on the outside of the first clamping arm 12 or the second clamping arm 13. In actual use, the sliding groove can also be provided on the inside of the clamping arm, and the corresponding fitting part can be provided on the outside of the splicing part.

[0040] In summary, this utility model, by incorporating detachable splicing components, allows for the installation or removal of these components as needed, thereby altering the clamping groove width of the pedal lock, expanding its applicability, and enhancing its market competitiveness.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the above embodiments based on the actual technical aspects of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
