The first baffle 36 is clamped between the spring positioning rod 35 and the locking rod 33. It should be understood that the connecting post 351 and the connecting hole 332 can be threaded or tightly fitted.

[0049] In summary, this utility model, by providing guide rods on both sides of the locking rod, maintains a gap between the locking rod and the inner wall of the first through hole when installing the second clamping part. This avoids jamming or obstructed movement caused by friction between the ratchet teeth on the locking rod and the side wall of the first through hole, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, by incorporating an alarm box, an automatic alarm function is activated when the lock is damaged, deterring thieves and further enhancing its anti-theft capabilities.
