[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3The present invention preferably provides a quick-change lock cylinder device for a mechanical lock, comprising an outer shell 1, a lock body 2, and an inner shell 3. The outer shell 1 and the inner shell 3 are respectively distributed on both sides of the lock body 2. The lock body 2 has a through-hole 4, and a lock cylinder 5 is disposed in the through-hole 4. The lock body 2 is characterized in that: a block 6 is rotatably disposed on one side of the lock body 2, and the lock cylinder 5 is movably inserted into the through-hole 4 and can be displaced axially along the through-hole 4. A groove 7 is recessed on one side of the lock cylinder 5 to engage with the block 6. A limiting pin 8 is provided on the inner side of the inner shell 3, and the limiting pin 8 abuts against one side of the block 6 so that the block 6 is kept in the connected state of being embedded in the groove 7. When the block 6 is embedded in the groove 7, the lock cylinder 5 is fixed relative to the lock body 2.
[0020] Specifically, the lock cylinder is inserted axially into the mounting hole of the lock body. With the engagement of the insert on the lock body and the slot of the lock cylinder, the user only needs to lift the insert and push and pull the lock cylinder to complete the replacement without tools. When the outer shell and inner shell are connected during installation, the limiting pin of the inner shell can press the insert, so that the insert is kept in the slot and forms a stable lock.
[0021] Furthermore, a torsion spring is provided at the rotatable connection between the insert 6 and the lock body 2. The torsion spring maintains the insert in the engaged state with the slot under normal conditions. In addition, the torsion spring automatically resets the insert, avoiding loosening caused by human error.
[0022] Furthermore, the inner side of the outer shell 1 is provided with connecting posts 9 at intervals, the end of the connecting post 9 is recessed with a screw hole, and a connecting screw 11 that can be threaded into the screw hole is inserted into one side of the inner shell 3.
[0023] Furthermore, the limiting pin 8 is detachably connected to the inner side of the inner shell 3 via a threaded connection.
[0024] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the limiting pin 8 is a conical surface, which forms an angle of 15°-45° with the axis, and its conical surface presses against the insert 6. The conical surface design of the limiting pin provides self-locking pressure, ensuring that the insert and the slot fit tightly and preventing accidental dislodgement.
[0025] Furthermore, the inner wall of the mounting hole 4 is provided with an axially extending guide groove, and the outer surface of the lock cylinder 5 is provided with a rib that matches the guide groove, so as to achieve anti-rotation positioning when the lock cylinder is inserted.
[0026] Furthermore, the slot 7 has a stepped multi-level groove structure, with the depth of the stepped grooves decreasing progressively and the height difference between adjacent steps being 1-3mm. The insert 6 is correspondingly provided with multiple levels of protrusions, forming a multi-segment locking structure. The multiple protrusions of the insert must then disengage step by step, enhancing its anti-pry performance.
[0027] The operation steps are as follows: Replace the lock cylinder: Loosen the connecting screw 11 to remove the inner shell 3, manually move the insert 6 out of the slot 7, and pull out the old lock cylinder axially; Install the new lock cylinder: Align the rib of the new lock cylinder 5 with the guide groove in the mounting hole 4 and insert it until the insert 6 springs into the slot 7 under the action of the torsion spring; Fix the structure: Reinstall the inner shell 3, and press the insert 6 with the conical surface of the limit pin 8 to form a stable lock.
