[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present patent will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present patent. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present patent, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present patent, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present patent.
[0019] The lock of the motorcycle luggage in the existing product solves the problem by combining spring-loaded latches and lock cylinders. However, these systems have buttons, locks, and housings as independent elements, which increases complexity and increases the number of parts. They are usually lacking in durability due to wear and tear caused by frequent unlocking under high vibrations, which is common in motorcycle use. The main deficiency of the prior art is the lack of a robust locking system to prevent accidental opening under vibration, and the need for multiple part assemblies, such as additional housings and nuts to secure the lock cylinder.
[0020] The purpose of the present patent is to provide a simplified motorcycle luggage locking mechanism that ensures the top box lid is always securely closed and can only be opened when the press and unlock action is performed (double-acting system), i.e., the press and unlock are combined into one mechanism, and this reduces the number of components, improves durability, and improves safety during travel.
[0021] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, a motorcycle luggage box, or motorcycle trunk / tail box, includes a lid, a base, and a locking mechanism. The lid snaps onto the base to form a storage space for items such as helmets. In existing designs, the lid automatically pops open completely after unlocking. The locking mechanism of this patent can be used on such luggage boxes. Conventional luggage boxes typically have locks and outer shells that are separate parts, requiring multiple components, making them complex and cumbersome. Furthermore, due to high-frequency vibrations during motorcycle operation, they lack durability.
[0022] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 This patent mainly proposes an "L"-shaped component 4, which simplifies the locking structure on motorcycle luggage boxes. The "L" shape here mainly refers to the L-shaped hook 41 at the top. The L-shaped locking component 4 is provided with a lock cylinder mounting hole 42; a rotating shaft 43; and the L-shaped hook 41; the lock cylinder 3 is directly mounted on it. With this component, there is no need to set up a separate fixing device to fix the lock cylinder 3.
[0023] Specific locking structures, such as Figure 2 This includes: 1. Key, 2. Cover, 3. Lock cylinder, 4. L-shaped locking element, 5. Lock plate, 6. Spring, 7. Pop-out cover, 8. Pop-out latch. Figure 3 This component is installed on the outer shell of the suitcase to achieve a locking mechanism.
[0024] The motorcycle luggage box or trunk includes a lid and a base, which are hinged together. The lid pops open when unlocked. The locking structure of this patent is installed on the box as an independent integral part. It can be fixed to the box by a screw through the screw hole 44 or by a snap-fit method between the shells.
[0025] The main technical solution of this patent is to replace the existing lock with an L-shaped locking component 4. The L-shaped hook 41 acts as a lock hook and can hook the trunk lid. The lock cylinder 3 is directly integrated into the L-shaped locking component 4, eliminating the need for a separate housing and nut for fixing, thereby simplifying the design and reducing the number of parts.
[0026] like Figure 4 The cover 2 is fastened onto the L-shaped locking assembly; the lock cylinder 3 is installed in the lock cylinder mounting hole; the locking plate 5 is installed and connected below the lock cylinder; when the key is inserted, rotating the lock cylinder 3 rotates the locking plate 5; the spring 6 is installed below the L-shaped locking component 4. When locked, there is a protruding rib below the locking plate 5, which restricts the downward movement of the cover 2 when pressed down; when unlocking, rotating the lock cylinder 3 shifts the locking plate 5, allowing the cover 2 to be pressed down, the L-shaped hook 41 of the L-shaped locking component 4 disengages from the lid, the lid pops up, and the trunk is opened. This simplifies the complex component design of existing luggage locks.
[0027] like Figure 5 orFigure 6 The L-shaped locking component 4 has a lock cylinder mounting hole 42 in the middle for mounting the lock cylinder 3; a locking plate 5 is provided below the lock cylinder, and a spring 6 is provided below the L-shaped locking component 4. The L-shaped locking component 4 hooks onto the cover to lock it, and the cover can be released when the cover 2 is pressed inward; after pressing, the spring 6 resets the L-shaped locking component 4. Figure 7 The locking plate 5 restricts movement. Specifically, there is a protruding rib 9 below the locking plate 5. When pressed down, the rib 9 presses against the locking plate 5, restricting downward movement. Inserting a key allows the locking plate 5 to rotate, disengaging the rib 9 below, thus allowing downward pressure. Pressing the L-shaped locking assembly unlocks the device. The spring return and secure locking mechanism provide stability under vibration and are easy to use. The structure is simplified and durable. When unlocking, the rotating shaft 43 below the L-shaped locking member 4 allows the cover 2 to rotate slightly downward when pressed, and returns to its original position under the action of the spring 6.
[0028] like Figure 3 The L-shaped hook 41 can hook onto the box lid;
[0029] like Figure 3 or Figure 7 Insert the key, rotate the lock cylinder, and then the lock plate 5 rotates and moves, offsetting the rib plate 9 on the box body, allowing the L-shaped lock 4 and the cover 2 to press down, the L-shaped hook 41 to disengage from the cover, and the cover to pop up; the spring 6 controls the movement of the L-shaped lock assembly so that it can automatically rebound.
[0030] like Figure 7 When the cover 2 is fastened onto the L-shaped locking assembly 4, pressing the L-shaped locking assembly 4 inward releases the cover. The spring 6 resets the L-shaped component after release.
[0031] The lock cylinder 3 is directly integrated into the L-shaped locking assembly, eliminating the need for a separate housing and nut to secure the lock cylinder, thus simplifying the design and reducing the number of parts. The lock cylinder 3 engages with a rotating pin 5 that restricts movement; inserting the key 1 allows the pin to rotate, pressing down the L-shaped locking element 4 and opening the cover. The L-shaped locking assembly features a spring 6 for return. Rotating the lockplate 5 allows the L-shaped lock assembly 4 to press down; controlling the movement of the L-shaped lock assembly ensures its automatic return. A pop-up clip lifts the top cover when the case is opened, indicating to the customer that the case has been opened. The spring-loaded return and locking mechanism ensures the overall structure is stable under vibration and easy to use. By reducing the number of parts, the overall assembly cost can be reduced.
[0032] This patent offers enhanced security, improved durability, and ease of use. By integrating the lock cylinder into the pushbutton, the total number of components is reduced, eliminating the need for additional housings and nuts. The spring-loaded L-shaped pushbutton ensures stable locking under vibration, while the lock cylinder prevents unauthorized access. This dual-action locking reduces the risk of accidental opening and provides greater security while traveling.
[0033] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this patent, and not to limit them; although this patent has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this patent.
