Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of luggage locks, specifically to a luggage lock that has both front-opening and side-opening functions. Background Technology

[0002] When traveling, people generally carry personal belongings such as clothes in bags, making the convenience of bags increasingly important. Bags on the market are generally divided into soft-shell bags and hard-shell bags. Soft-shell bags typically use a combination of fabric and plastic to form the outer shell, with the two halves connected by zippers. Hard-shell bags usually have the upper and lower halves connected by an aluminum alloy frame, and the two halves are locked together by a lock. The main materials for hard-shell bags are PC, ABS, PP, and aluminum alloy.

[0003] Luggage locks are typically equipped with electronic locks, mechanical combination locks, and key locks. Electronic locks usually use fingerprint locks; when the correct fingerprint is recognized, the motor is activated, which drives the lock hook to disengage from the latch, thus unlocking the luggage. Mechanical combination locks usually use a digit dial; when the correct combination is entered, the movable lever of the mechanical combination lock is moved, which pushes the lock hook to disengage from the latch, thus unlocking the luggage. Key locks unlock the luggage by turning the correct key.

[0004] To better meet customers' needs for convenience, some suitcases feature a front storage compartment with a front cover. This front storage compartment can also hold items. However, current suitcases use two separate locks to lock the two halves of the suitcase and the front cover: a side lock and a front lock. This increases both the cost and weight of the suitcase.

[0005] Therefore, the inventor designed a bag lock that has both front and side opening functions, which can lock both halves of the bag and the front cover with one lock. Utility Model Content

[0049] Example:

[0050] like Figures 1 to 20 The example shown is a luggage lock with both front and side opening functions, comprising a lock box, a bottom box, a side opening hook 20, a side opening latch 11 that engages with the side opening hook 20 for locking, a first limiting mechanism that restricts the side opening hook 20 to the locked position, a front opening hook 43, a front opening latch 10 that engages with the front opening hook 43 for locking, a second limiting mechanism that restricts the front opening hook 43 to the locked position, a lock body, a linkage 30, a first translational component 29, a second translational component 36, and a sliding unlocking component 3. It achieves locking between the two halves of the luggage body through the side opening hook 20 and the side opening latch 11, and locks the front cover through the front opening hook 43 and the front opening latch 10. The lock body integrates three types of locks: fingerprint lock, key lock, and mechanical combination lock, allowing users to unlock using fingerprint, key, or combination.

[0051] The lock box in this embodiment includes a panel 4 and a base plate 33 fixedly covering the bottom of the panel 4. The fingerprint lock, key lock, mechanical combination lock, side-opening hook 20, and linkage component 30 are all located inside the lock box. The fingerprint lock includes a main board 14, a fingerprint module 7, a first motor 24, and a second motor 34. The mechanical combination lock includes a locking rod 17, a digital dial 16, and a locking rod return spring 18.

[0052] A second inner mounting bracket 32 ​​is provided inside the lock box. In this embodiment, the second inner mounting bracket 32 ​​is part of the base plate 33. The second inner mounting bracket 32 ​​is provided with a translation component mounting groove 32.2 and a motor mounting groove 32.1. A groove cover 38 is provided at the lower groove opening of the second inner mounting bracket 32. The second translation component 36 is installed in the translation component mounting groove 32.2. The second translation component 36 can slide and translate in the translation component mounting groove 32.2. The direction of sliding and translating is along the length direction of the lock box. The second motor 34 is embedded and installed in the motor mounting groove 32.1. The second motor 34 is connected to the second translation component 36. When unlocking, the second motor 34 drives the second translation component 36 to translate. The specific structure connecting the second motor 34 and the second translation member 36 is as follows: the output shaft of the second motor 34 faces the second translation member 36. A second cam 35 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 34. A second helical part 35.1 is provided on the side of the second cam 35. The second translation member 36 is provided with a second sleeve hole 36.2. A second slider 36.3 is provided on the inner wall of the second sleeve hole 36.2. The second cam 35 passes through the second sleeve hole 36.2. The second slider 36.3 is located in front of the second helical part 35.1. When the second motor 34 drives the second cam 35 to rotate, it can push the second slider 36.3 through the second helical part 35.1, thereby pushing the second translation member 36 to move forward. A second translation member return spring 37 is provided in front of the second translation member 36. The force exerted by the second translation member return spring 37 on the second translation member 36 is opposite to the force exerted by the second cam 35.1 on the second translation member 36.

[0053] A mounting hole is provided on panel 1. The sliding unlocking component 3 is slidably installed in the mounting hole 4.4 of the panel via a conventional structure. The sliding unlocking component 3 slides along the length of the lock box, and the arrow on the surface of the sliding unlocking component 3 indicates its unlocking direction. To unlock, force must be applied to push the sliding unlocking component 3 in the unlocking direction. The head of the sliding unlocking component 3 is located at the front of panel 4, allowing the user to push it. The key lock 2 is located in the middle of the sliding unlocking component 3, with its keyhole exposed at the front. The sliding unlocking component 3 can drive the key lock 2 to slide together.

[0054] The linkage 30 is located on top of the second inner mounting bracket 32, and can slide on the second inner mounting bracket 32 ​​in the direction of the length of the lock box. The key lock 2 is located on one end of the linkage 30. The inner end of the key lock cylinder of the key lock 2 has a protruding top block 2.1, which is offset from the center of the key lock 2. Figure 12 As shown, the top block 2.1 is located in front of the end face of the linkage 30. When the key lock cylinder of the key lock 2 is turned by the correct key, the top block 2.1 will rotate around the center of the key lock 2, and the top block 2.1 will abut against the end face of the linkage 30, pushing the linkage 30 to translate.

[0055] The linkage 30 has two upward-protruding straight rods 30.1 located on the side of the sliding unlocking member 3. The side of the sliding unlocking member 3 has a limiting plane 3.1. The straight rods 30.1 abut against the limiting plane 3.1. When the sliding unlocking member 3 is pushed to unlock, the limiting plane 3.1 will act on the straight rods 30.1, thereby pushing the linkage 30 to translate.

[0056] In this embodiment, a lever 31 is provided between the linkage 30 and the second translation member 36. The lever 31 is U-shaped and is inverted on the second inner mounting bracket 32. The part of the lever 31 near the second translation member 36 is hinged to the hinge shafts on both sides of the second translation member 36. The linkage 30 is provided with a downwardly protruding push plate 30.2. The part of the lever 31 near the linkage 30 abuts against the side of the push plate 30.2. The side of the push plate 30.2 is provided with sufficient height to accommodate the upper part of the lever 31. Lever supports 41 are provided on both sides of the second inner mounting bracket 32. The lever supports 41 have a pointed tip, which abuts against the lever 31 to provide a support point for the lever 31. When the linkage 30 translates, the upper part of the lever 31 will be pushed by the push plate 30.2, and the lever 31 will rotate around the pointed tip of the lever support 41. The lower part of the lever 31 will push the second translation member 36 to translate.

[0057] In this embodiment, the locking rod 17 is a straight rod, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the locking lever 17 has an annular groove 17.1 and an axial groove 17.2 corresponding to each digital disk 16. The digital disk 16 is fitted onto the locking lever 17 through a central hole, and a limiting strip 16.1 is provided on the wall of the central hole of the digital disk 16. The locking lever return spring 18 is fitted onto the end of the locking lever 17 near the sliding unlocking member 3. The end of the locking lever 17 near the sliding unlocking member 3 has a protruding end plate 17.1, and the locking lever return spring 18 is compressed between the end plate 17.1 and the side of the nearest digital disk 16. When the locking lever 17 is in the locked position, the limiting strip 16.1 is located in the annular groove 17.1. At this time, the numeric disk 16 can rotate on the locking lever 17, but the locking lever 17 is locked and cannot be pushed axially. When the numeric disk 16 is rotated to the correct password number, the limiting strip 16.1 will align with the axial groove 17.2. If all numeric disks 16 are rotated to the correct number, the mechanical combination lock is unlocked. Under the action of external force, the locking lever 17 can be pushed to move axially. When the external force is removed, the locking lever 17 will be reset under the action of the locking lever return spring 18. The above-described mechanical combination lock itself adopts a conventional structural principle, therefore, a more detailed description of the mechanical combination lock structure is not provided.

[0058] In this embodiment, the mechanical combination lock is mounted on top of the second inner mounting bracket 32, located on one side of the sliding unlocking member 3. A dial hole 4.3 is correspondingly provided on the panel 1, through which part of the digital dial 16 protrudes. The end face of the locking lever 17 near the sliding unlocking member 3 is a flat surface, and the end face of the locking lever 17 abuts against the limiting plane 3.1 of the sliding unlocking member 3 to restrict the sliding of the sliding unlocking member 3. Only when the mechanical combination lock is unlocked by the correct combination can the sliding unlocking member 3 be translated and push the locking lever 17.

[0059] In this embodiment, a third inner mounting bracket 19 is fixedly installed inside the lock box. The main board 14 is mounted on top of the third inner mounting bracket 19, and the fingerprint module 7 is located on top of the main board 14. The fingerprint input surface of the fingerprint module 7 is exposed from the fingerprint module mounting hole 4.1 on the panel. The first motor 24 and the second motor 34 are respectively wired to the main board 14.

[0060] The bottom box of this embodiment includes an inner bottom shell 9 and a bottom shell cover 8 fixedly covering the inner bottom shell 9. The bottom shell cover 8 is provided with a lock box mounting groove 8.1, and the lock box is embedded and fixed in the lock box mounting groove 8.1. The second translation member 36 is provided with a connecting part 36.1, which passes through the slot cover 38 and the elongated hole on the bottom shell cover 8 and enters into the bottom box. The second limiting mechanism is provided in the bottom box. The second limiting mechanism of this embodiment includes a sliding rod 44 and two limiting rotating members 42, which are respectively provided for two front unlocking hooks 43. The sliding rod 44 is provided in the inner bottom shell 9 and can slide along the length direction of the inner bottom shell 9. A sliding rod return spring 46 is connected to the middle of the sliding rod 44, and the sliding rod 44 can be reset by the sliding rod return spring 46. The sliding rod 44 is provided with a socket 44.1. The connecting part 36.1 of the second translation member 36 is inserted into the socket 44.1, so that the second translation member 36 can drive the sliding rod 44 to move together.

[0061] The sliding rod 44 extends to both ends of the inner bottom shell 9, and the two limiting rotating parts 42 are rotatably connected to the mounting shafts perpendicular to the bottom surface at both ends of the inner bottom shell 9. A central shaft is provided in the middle of the front unlocking hook 43, and the two front unlocking hooks 43 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the inner bottom shell 9 via this central shaft. The axis of the central shaft of the front unlocking hook 43 is perpendicular to the axis of the mounting shaft. One end of the front unlocking hook 43 is provided with a pawl 43.1, which is used to hook into the buckle hole of the front unlocking latch 10. The other end of the front unlocking hook 43 is provided with a limiting groove 43.2. A front unlocking hook return spring 47 is also connected to the front unlocking hook 43, which allows the front unlocking hook 43 to automatically return to the locked position. The front unlocking hook return spring 47 is a standard setting. The limiting rotating member 42 is provided with a radially extending limiting part 42.1, a driving part 42.3, and a spring mounting part 42.2. The end 44.2 of the sliding rod protrudes upward and abuts against the driving part 42.3. The limiting part 42.1 is engaged in the limiting groove 43.2 to restrict the rotation of the front unlocking hook 43 in the unlocking direction, while the front unlocking hook 43 can rotate in the opposite direction, allowing the front unlocking latch 10 to be inserted. A rotating member return spring 45 is provided on the spring mounting part 42.2 of the limiting rotating member 42. The two ends of the rotating member return spring 45 are respectively sleeved on the spring mounting part 42.2 and the protrusions in the inner bottom shell 9. The force exerted by the rotating member return spring 45 on the limiting rotating member 42 is opposite to the force exerted by the sliding rod 44 on the limiting rotating member 42. Initially, the rotating spring 45 keeps the limiting rotating part 42 in a position that restricts the front unlocking hook 43. During the unlocking process, when the second translation member 36 moves the sliding rod 44 together, both ends of the sliding rod 44 will simultaneously push the limiting rotating parts 42 at both ends to rotate. The limiting part 42.1 of the limiting rotating part 42 will exit from the limiting groove 43.2, releasing the restriction on the front unlocking hook 43 and completing the unlocking.

[0062] The inner bottom shell 9 has a second locking hole 13 on each side corresponding to the front unlocking hook. The front unlocking buckle 10 can be inserted into the second locking hole 13 and locked with the front unlocking hook 43. The structure of the front unlocking buckle 10 and the front unlocking hook 43 locking with each other is a conventional structure.

[0063] In this embodiment, a fixed first inner mounting bracket 23 is also provided inside the lock box. A first translation member 29 is slidably disposed in the first inner mounting bracket 23, and the sliding direction of the first translation member 29 is along the length direction of the lock box. The first translation member 29 abuts against the end of the linkage member 30, and the specific abutment structure is as follows: Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the end of the linkage 30 near the first translation member 29 is provided with a slot 30.3, and the end of the first translation member 29 is provided with a locking block 29.1, which is fitted into the slot 30.3. When the linkage 30 moves towards the first translation member 29, it can push the first translation member 29 to slide and translate.

[0064] The first limiting mechanism includes two transverse blocks 22 and two transverse block return springs 39 that provide a restoring force for the transverse blocks 22. The transverse blocks 22 are slidably disposed on the top of the first translation member 29 and located in the groove on the inner side of the first inner mounting bracket 23. The sliding direction of the transverse blocks 22 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first translation member 29. The top of the first translation member 29 is provided with a diagonal rod 29.2 corresponding to each transverse block. The bottom of the transverse blocks 22 is provided with a slope 22.2 that cooperates with the side of the diagonal rod 29.2. When the first translation member 29 moves in the unlocking direction, it will push the transverse blocks 22 to move laterally. The transverse block 22 has a clearance groove 22.1 on its upper surface. Two side-opening hooks 20 are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the first inner mounting bracket 23 via their respective central shafts. A side-opening hook return spring 21 is connected to the side-opening hook 20 to provide a return force. The side-opening hook 20 has a limiting protrusion 20.1. The upper surface of the first inner mounting bracket 23 has a through hole 23.1 corresponding to the position of the side-opening hook 20. The limiting protrusion 20.1 passes through the through hole 23.1 and is located on the side of the transverse block 22. When not unlocked, the clearance groove 22.1 and the limiting protrusion 20.1 are misaligned, and the limiting protrusion 20.1 abuts against the side of the transverse block 22 to limit the rotation of the side-opening hook 20 in the unlocking direction. The side-opening hook 20 can rotate in the opposite direction, allowing the side-opening latch 11 to be inserted. During unlocking, the translation of the first translation member 23 will push the transverse block 22 to move laterally, so that the clearance groove 22.1 aligns with the limiting protrusion 20.1, releasing the restriction on the rotation of the side unlocking hook 20 and completing the unlocking. The structure of the side unlocking hook 20 is also a conventional structure, the same as the front unlocking hook 43, with a hook claw. The hook claw of the side unlocking hook 20 is used to hook into the buckle hole of the side unlocking latch 11.

[0068] Based on this embodiment, it can be further configured to allow separate unlocking of the side lock and front lock using different fingerprints. This can be roughly achieved as follows: different fingerprints are registered for the side lock and front lock respectively. During use, when the fingerprint corresponding to the side lock is entered, the main board 14 controls the first motor 24 to rotate, ultimately releasing the restriction on the side lock hook 20 and completing the unlocking of the side lock. When the fingerprint corresponding to the front lock is entered, the main board 14 controls the second motor 34 to rotate, ultimately releasing the restriction on the front lock hook 43 and completing the unlocking of the front lock.

[0069] like Figures 21 to 23 The diagram shows the installation of the bag lock of this embodiment on a bag. The bag lock of this embodiment is used to lock both the front cover 50 and the two halves of the bag. The specific structure is as follows:

[0070] The bag has a first half-box 48 and a second half-box 49. The first half-box 48 and the second half-box 49 are hinged together and connected by a conventional zipper 51. The zipper 51 has two zipper heads 52, and a side-opening buckle 11 is provided on the pull tab 6 of the zipper head 52.

[0071] A front receiving space is provided in front of the first half box 48, and a front cover plate 50 is provided in front of the front receiving space. One side of the front cover plate 50 is hinged, and the other side is provided with a front unlocking latch 10.

[0072] In this embodiment, the lock box and bottom box are installed on the first half-box 48, the panel 4 is exposed on the outside, and the second lock hole 13 faces the side where the front cover plate 50 is located.

[0073] The process of locking the above-mentioned bags is as follows:

[0074] When the front cover 50 needs to be locked, rotate the front cover 50 forward to close the receiving space. The front unlocking buckle 10 will be inserted into the second lock hole 13. During the insertion process, the front unlocking buckle 10 will push the front unlocking hook 43 to rotate. After the front unlocking buckle 10 is inserted into place, the front unlocking hook 43 will return to the locked position under the action of the front unlocking hook return spring 47 and hook onto the front unlocking buckle 10 to complete the locking.

[0075] When it is necessary to lock the first half of the box 48 and the second half of the box 49, pull the zipper head 52 to close the zipper 51. Finally, both zipper heads 52 move to the position of the bag lock. Insert the side opening latch 11 on the pull tab 6 of the zipper head 52 into the first lock hole 12. During the insertion process, the side opening latch 11 will push the side opening hook 20 to rotate. When the side opening latch 11 is inserted into place, the side opening hook 20 will return to the locked position under the action of the side opening hook return spring 21 and hook onto the side opening latch 11, thus completing the locking of the pull tab 6 of the zipper head 52. The zipper 51 will not be able to be pulled open.

[0076] There are three ways to unlock the above-mentioned bags:

[0077] When unlocking via the mechanical combination lock, the numeric dial 16 is turned to the correct combination number, which pushes the locking lever 17, thereby pushing the sliding unlocking component 3. The sliding unlocking component 3 pushes the linkage component 30 to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the linkage component 30 pushes the lever 31 to rotate around the lever support 41, which in turn pushes the second translation component 36 to move horizontally. The second translation component 36 drives the sliding rod 44 to move in the unlocking direction. The end of the sliding rod 44 pushes the limiting rotating component 42 to rotate, so that the limiting rotating component 42 releases the restriction on the front unlocking hook 43, allowing the front unlocking latch 10 to be released outward, thus completing the unlocking of the front cover plate 50. Simultaneously, the translation of the linkage 30 will also push the first translation component 29 to translate, thereby driving the transverse block 22 to move laterally, so that the clearance groove 22.1 aligns with the limiting protrusion 20.1, releasing the restriction on the rotation of the side unlocking hook 20, allowing the side unlocking latch 11 to retract outwards, completing the unlocking of the pull tab 6 of the zipper head 52, and the zipper 51 can be opened by pulling the zipper head 52. After unlocking, each component will reset under the action of the return spring.

[0078] When unlocking via the key lock, insert the correct key into the key lock 2, and then turn the key lock cylinder with the key. This will push the linkage 30 to move through the top block 2.1 at the inner end of the key lock cylinder. The movement of the linkage 30 will push the lever 31 to rotate around the lever support 41, which in turn will push the second translation member 36 to move. The second translation member 36 will drive the sliding rod 44 to move in the unlocking direction. The end of the sliding rod 44 will push the limiting rotating member 42 to rotate, so that the limiting rotating member 42 releases the restriction on the front unlock hook 43, allowing the front unlock latch 10 to be released outward, thus completing the unlocking of the front cover plate 50. Simultaneously, the translation of the linkage 30 will also push the first translation component 29 to translate, thereby driving the transverse block 22 to move laterally, so that the clearance groove 22.1 aligns with the limiting protrusion 20.1, releasing the restriction on the rotation of the side unlocking hook 20, allowing the side unlocking latch 11 to retract outwards, completing the unlocking of the pull tab 6 of the zipper head 52, and the zipper 51 can be opened by pulling the zipper head 52. After unlocking, each component will reset under the action of the return spring.

[0079] The fingerprint unlocking process is as follows: When a fingerprint corresponding to the side unlock is registered via the fingerprint module 7, the main board 14 controls the first motor 24 to rotate. The first motor 24 drives the first cam 27 to rotate, which in turn pushes the third translation member 25 to move forward. The third translation member 25 drives the first translation member 29 to move together, which in turn drives the transverse block 22 to move laterally, releasing the restriction on the rotation of the side unlock hook 20, allowing the side unlock latch 11 to retract outward, thus unlocking the pull tab 6 of the zipper head 52. The zipper head 52 can then be pulled to open the zipper 51. When a fingerprint corresponding to the front unlock is registered via the fingerprint module 7, the main board 14 controls the second motor 34 to rotate. The second motor 34 drives the second cam 35 to rotate, which in turn pushes the second translation member 36 to move forward. The second translation member 36 drives the sliding rod 44 to move in the unlocking direction, ultimately releasing the restriction on the front unlock hook 43, allowing the front unlock latch 10 to retract outward, thus unlocking the front cover 50. After the above unlocking is performed, the first motor 24 and the second motor 34 will automatically rotate in the opposite direction to reset after a set time, and the remaining components will reset under the action of the reset spring.
