Detailed Implementation
[0018] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a square-axis child lock includes a lock body 10. A shaft slot 11 is formed in the middle of the lock body 10, and a connecting central shaft 20 is connected to the shaft slot 11. One end of the connecting central shaft 20 has a central shaft connecting portion 21. A positioning sleeve 30 is sleeved on the outer side of the central shaft connecting portion 21. A ball bearing groove 211 is symmetrically recessed on the lower edge of the central shaft connecting portion 21, and a locking ball 40 is provided in the ball bearing groove 211. A ball bearing positioning groove 31 is symmetrically formed on the lower edge of the positioning sleeve 30. The locking ball 40 is disposed in the ball bearing groove 211 and the ball bearing positioning groove 31. In groove 31, the surface of the lock body 10 is provided with a decorative cover plate 50. A connecting opening 51 is provided in the center of the decorative cover plate 50. A locking recess 511, adapted to the locking ball 40, is symmetrically recessed on the lower edge of the connecting opening 51. One side of the locking ball 40 engages in the locking recess 511 for locking connection. When unlocking is required, the decorative cover plate 50 is rotated 180 degrees, causing the locking ball 40 to separate from the locking recess 511 and retract into the ball groove 211 and the ball positioning groove 31. At this time, the connecting shaft 20 is unlocked and can rotate freely. When the decorative cover plate 50 is rotated 180 degrees in the opposite direction, one side of the locking ball 40 protrudes from the ball groove 211 and the ball positioning groove 31 and aligns with the locking recess 511. At this time, the locking ball 40 is engaged in the locking recess 511, thereby locking the connecting shaft 20 and preventing rotation, thus realizing the function of a child lock. The lock's design, through the combination of the locking ball 40 and the locking recess 511, ensures reliable locking functionality during normal use. Unlocking requires only a 180-degree rotation of the decorative cover 50, which increases the difficulty of operation for children and avoids accidental operation. The locking and unlocking rotation actions are simple and direct, easy to understand, and safe to operate.
[0019] In practical implementation, the inner edge of the slot 11 of the shaft body is uniformly recessed with a plurality of connecting slots 111, and one end of the positioning bushing 30 is uniformly protruded with a plurality of connecting blocks 32. The plurality of connecting blocks 32 and the plurality of connecting slots 111 correspond one-to-one. When the positioning bushing 30 is fitted onto the outside of the central shaft connecting part 21, the plurality of connecting blocks 32 and the plurality of connecting slots 111 are connected one-to-one, thereby allowing the positioning bushing 30 to be fitted onto the outside of the central shaft connecting part 21. The structure is simple and the assembly is convenient.
[0020] In practical implementation, a gear sleeve 60 is embedded in the inner side of the slot 11 of the shaft body. Positioning connecting grooves 112 are recessed on both sides of the slot 11 of the shaft body. Spring connecting portions 61 are provided on both sides of the gear sleeve 60. The two spring connecting portions 61 are respectively embedded in the two positioning connecting grooves 112. A spring connecting groove 611 is recessed in each spring connecting portion 61. A return spring 62 is connected in the spring connecting groove 611. A positioning ball 63 is provided at the front end of the return spring 62. A ball opening 612 is provided at the front of the spring connecting groove 611. One side of the positioning ball 63 is open to… The ball bearing protrudes through the opening 612, and the other end of the connecting shaft 20 is provided with a movable gear 22. The movable gear 22 is disposed in the gear sleeve 60. The outer edge of the movable gear 22 is evenly recessed with a plurality of positioning grooves 221 that are adapted to the positioning ball 63. The positioning ball 63 is positioned and connected to the positioning grooves 221. When the connecting shaft 20 rotates, the movable gear 22 can rotate in the gear sleeve 60. At this time, the positioning ball 63 moves along the plurality of positioning grooves 221, thereby enabling the connecting shaft 20 to be positioned and rotated, which is convenient for user use.
[0021] In practical implementation, a lock handle 70 is connected to one side of the lock body 10. The upper end of the lock handle 70 is recessed with a connecting groove 71. The size of the connecting groove 71 is larger than the size of the central shaft connecting part 21. The central shaft connecting part 21 is connected in the connecting groove 71. In use, the user can easily achieve locking and unlocking operations by rotating the lock handle 70. The rotation of the lock handle 70 drives the connecting central shaft 20, thereby controlling the locking or unlocking state of the lock.
[0022] In summary, the lock body 10 has a shaft slot 11 in the middle, through which a connecting central shaft 20 is connected. One end of the connecting central shaft 20 has a central shaft connecting part 21, and the lower edge of the central shaft connecting part 21 has symmetrically recessed ball grooves 211. A locking ball 40 is provided in the ball grooves 211. The surface of the lock body 10 has a decorative cover plate 50, with a connecting opening 51 in the middle. The lower edge of the connecting opening 51 has symmetrically recessed locking recesses 511 that are adapted to the locking ball 40. One side of the locking ball 40 is engaged in the locking recesses 511 for locking connection. The square shaft child lock of this utility model ensures reliable locking function during normal use through the combination of locking balls and locking recesses. Unlocking only requires rotating the decorative cover plate 180 degrees. The rotation action for locking and unlocking is simple and direct, easy to understand and safe to operate.
