Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motorcycle switch and lock technology, specifically, it relates to an electric lock for a motorcycle rear storage box. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society and the rapid innovation of motorcycle technology, high-end motorcycles are gradually moving away from mechanical keys. The ignition switch has adopted electronic one-button start and wireless control start via mobile phone. However, the rear box and seat box of motorcycles are still mainly opened with mechanical keys, and owners still need to carry mechanical keys with them, so true elimination of mechanical keys cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides an electric lock for the rear storage compartment of a motorcycle.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an electric lock for a motorcycle rear storage box is provided, including a lock base, a controller, and a lock plate. The lock plate is rotatably mounted on the lock base via a pivot. A return torsion spring is provided between the lock plate and the lock base. The controller is also mounted on the lock base and has a movable block. The controller can drive the movable block to move, thereby driving the lock plate to rotate, so that the hook on the lock plate is in a locked or unlocked state with the rear storage box.
[0005] Furthermore, the controller also includes a base, a drive motor, a transmission screw, and a control circuit board. The drive motor and the transmission screw are mounted on the base via an upper cover plate, and the control circuit board is mounted on the base via a lower cover plate. The output end of the drive motor is provided with a worm gear, which is connected to the worm wheel of the transmission screw. The movable block is movably mounted on the transmission screw, and the latch plate is provided with a first driving part. The movable block abuts against the first driving part.
[0006] Furthermore, a bearing is also provided between the transmission screw and the base.
[0007] Furthermore, the lock base is also provided with a key lock, which is provided with a drive ear. The drive ear abuts against the second drive part of the lock plate. The drive ear can be driven to rotate with a key, thereby driving the second drive part to move, so that the lock plate and the rear compartment are in a locked or unlocked state.
[0008] This utility model relates to an electric lock for a motorcycle rear storage box, including a lock base, a controller, and a latch plate. The latch plate is rotatably mounted on the lock base via a pivot. A return torsion spring is provided between the latch plate and the lock base. The controller is also mounted on the lock base and has a movable block. The controller can drive the movable block to move, thereby driving the latch plate to rotate, so that the latch on the latch plate is in a locked or unlocked state with the rear storage box. In use, the controller can control the latch plate to be locked or unlocked with the rear storage box. It can be used in conjunction with a keyless entry lock for a different user experience, or it can be used independently to allow users to experience the true convenience of using the motorcycle without carrying a key.

[0014] The specification and claims use certain terms to refer to specific components. Those skilled in the art will understand that hardware manufacturers may use different names to refer to the same component. This specification and claims do not distinguish components based on differences in name, but rather on differences in function. The term "comprising" throughout the specification and claims is an open-ended term and should be interpreted as "comprising but not limited to." The following descriptions are preferred embodiments of the present invention; however, these descriptions are intended to illustrate the general principles of the invention and are not intended to limit its scope. The scope of protection of this invention is determined by the appended claims.
[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0016] Example
[0017] like Figure 1-4As shown, an electric lock for a motorcycle rear storage box includes a lock base 1, a controller 2, and a latch plate 3. The latch plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the lock base 1 via a pivot. A return torsion spring 3c is provided between the latch plate 3 and the lock base 1. The controller 2 is also mounted on the lock base 1 and has a movable block 2a. The controller 2 can drive the movable block 2a to move, thereby driving the latch plate 3 to rotate, so that the latch hook 3b provided on the latch plate 3 is in a locked or unlocked state with the rear storage box.
[0018] Preferably, the controller 2 further includes a base 2d, a drive motor 2b, a transmission screw 2c, and a control circuit board 2e. The drive motor 2b and the transmission screw 2c are mounted on the base 2d via an upper cover plate 2f, and the control circuit board 2e is mounted on the base 2d via a lower cover plate 2g. A worm gear 2b1 is provided at the output end of the drive motor 2b, and it is connected to the worm wheel 2c1 provided on the transmission screw 2c. The movable block 2a is movably mounted on the transmission screw 2c. The locking plate 3 is provided with a first driving part 3a, and the movable block 2a abuts against the first driving part 3a. During use, the control circuit board 2e can control the drive motor 2b to rotate forward or backward, thereby driving the movable block 2a to move closer to or away from the first driving part 3a via the transmission screw 2c, causing the locking plate 3 to rotate and be in a locked or unlocked state with the rear storage box.
[0019] Preferred, such as Figure 3 As shown, a bearing 2c2 is also provided between the transmission screw 2c and the base 2d. The bearing 2c2 reduces the friction between the transmission screw 2c and the base 2d during the operation of the controller 2, thereby improving the service life of the lock.
[0020] More preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lock base 1 is also equipped with a key lock 4, which has a drive lug 4a. The drive lug 4a abuts against the second drive part 3d of the lock plate 3. The drive lug 4a can be rotated by a key, which in turn drives the second drive part 3d to move, so that the lock plate 3 and the rear storage box are in a locked or unlocked state. Thus, the storage box can be opened with a key or by the controller 2, improving the user experience.
[0021] Working principle: Controller 2 receives an unlocking signal, and control circuit board 2e causes drive motor 2b (forward) to rotate. After reduction by the combination of worm gear 2b1 and worm wheel 2c1, transmission screw 2c drives movable block 2a to move to the right. Movable block 2a presses against the first drive part 3a, causing the latch plate 3 to rotate and unlock, thus unlocking the hook 3b and the rear compartment, achieving the unlocking effect. Figure 5As shown in the attached diagram. To prevent the storage box from being forgotten to be locked after use, the control circuit board 2e controls the movement of the movable block 2a after it has been open for a certain period of time. Then, the drive motor 2b automatically (in reverse) rotates, causing the movable block 2a to move away from the locking plate 3. The locking plate 3, under the action of the return torsion spring 3c, returns to the locked state. Figure 6 As shown.
[0022] This utility model relates to an electric lock for a motorcycle rear storage box, including a lock base, a controller, and a latch plate. The latch plate is rotatably mounted on the lock base via a pivot. A return torsion spring is provided between the latch plate and the lock base. The controller is also mounted on the lock base and has a movable block. The controller can drive the movable block to move, thereby driving the latch plate to rotate, so that the latch on the latch plate is in a locked or unlocked state with the rear storage box. In use, the controller can control the latch plate to be locked or unlocked with the rear storage box. It can be used in conjunction with a keyless entry lock for a different user experience, or it can be used independently to allow users to experience the true convenience of using the motorcycle without carrying a key.
