[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 8 A lock box adaptable to different locks includes a main body 100 and a partition plate 200. The main body 100 is provided with a main groove 110. The partition plate 200 is installed on the main body 100 and has a first installation position and a second installation position: In the first installation position, the partition plate 200 is inserted into the main groove 110 with its plate surface facing the opening of the main groove 110. The partition plate 200, together with the bottom wall and part of the side wall of the main groove 110, forms a magnet mounting cavity 410 for mounting a magnet 300. The partition plate 200 and the remaining side wall of the main groove 110 form a first latch slot 420. In the second installation position, the partition plate 200 is inserted into the main groove 110 with its plate surface facing the opening of the main groove 110 and is closer to the bottom of the main groove 110 than in the first installation position. The partition plate 200 and the side wall of the main groove 110 form a second latch slot 430.

[0037] The above structure allows for adaptation to magnetic locks. When compatible with magnetic locks, the partition plate 200 can be installed in the first mounting position, forming a magnet mounting cavity 410 and a first latch slot 420. A magnet 300 can then be installed in the magnet mounting cavity 410 for magnetic lock compatibility. When compatible with ordinary mechanical locks, the partition plate can be installed in the second mounting position. The partition plate is closer to the bottom of the main groove 110, resulting in a deeper second latch slot 430, suitable for mechanical locks requiring deeper slots. This lock box can adapt to different types of locks by installing the partition plate 200 in different positions, offering strong applicability and avoiding the need to produce lock boxes of various specifications, thus simplifying manufacturing.

[0038] In this embodiment, the main body 100 has a lateral opening 120 communicating with the side wall of the main groove 110. The side wall of the main groove 110 has a first insertion structure 130 and a second insertion structure 140. The first insertion structure 130 and the second insertion structure 140 are arranged along the depth direction of the main groove 110, with the second insertion structure 140 closer to the bottom of the main groove 110. The partition plate 200 can be inserted into the main groove 110 through the lateral opening 120 and cooperate with one of the first insertion structure 130 and the second insertion structure 140. The first insertion structure 130 and the second insertion structure 140 correspond to the first installation position and the second installation position of the partition plate 200, respectively. Using the above structure, the partition plate can be easily installed and the operation is convenient.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first insertion structure 130 and the second insertion structure 140 are insertion grooves adapted to the edge of the partition plate 200. Since the first insertion structure 130 and the second insertion structure 140 adopt the insertion groove structure, the partition plate 200 does not need to have a special structure and can be directly configured with the aforementioned insertion grooves. It is conceivable that the first insertion structure 130 and the second insertion structure 140 are not limited to adopting the insertion groove structure; for example, they could also be insertion blocks, and the partition plate 200 only needs to have a matching groove structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, the main groove 110 is provided with a opposite side groove sidewall 111 and two side side groove sidewalls 112. The opposite side groove sidewall 111 is opposite to the lateral opening 120. One end of each side side groove sidewall 112 is connected to both ends of the opposite side groove sidewall 111, and the other end of the side side groove sidewall 112 corresponds to the lateral opening 120. Both the opposite side groove sidewall 111 and the two side side groove sidewalls 112 are provided with insertion grooves. With the above structure, the three edges of the partition plate 200 can be inserted into the corresponding insertion grooves, thereby providing more stable support for the partition plate 200.

[0041] In this embodiment, the partition plate 200 is connected to the cover plate 500. When the partition plate 200 is in the first installation position and the second installation position, the cover plate 500 can cover the lateral opening 120, thereby forming a closed structure and providing better protection for the internal structure of the lock box.

[0042] In this embodiment, one side of the partition plate 200 is connected to one side of the cover plate 500 to form an L-shaped plate. When the partition plate 200 is installed in the first insertion structure 130, the partition plate 200 extends towards the bottom of the main groove 110 to cover the lateral opening 120. When the partition plate 200 is installed in the second insertion structure 140, the partition plate 200 extends towards the opening of the main groove 110 to cover the lateral opening 120. By connecting the partition plate 200 and the cover plate 500 to form an L-shaped plate, the lateral opening 120 can be covered whether the L-shaped plate is installed in the right or wrong direction. The design is ingenious and the structure is simple.

[0043] In this embodiment, the partition plate 200 and the cover plate 500 are integrally formed, which facilitates manufacturing.

[0044] In this embodiment, the main body 100 includes a box body 150 and a mounting plate 160. A main groove 110 is disposed in the box body 150, and the mounting plate 160 is disposed on the outer periphery of the box body 150 corresponding to one end of the groove of the main groove 110. The mounting plate 160 is provided with mounting holes 161. The lock box also includes a decorative cover plate 600, which covers the mounting plate 160 and seals the mounting holes 161. When installing the lock box, screws can be passed through the mounting holes 161 of the mounting plate 160 and then locked to the door frame, making installation convenient. The decorative cover plate 600 can cover the screws, thereby preventing the screws from being exposed.

[0045] In this embodiment, the groove opening of the main groove 110 protrudes from the mounting plate 160, forming a raised ring portion 170. The decorative cover plate 600 is provided with an adapter hole 610 that mates with the raised ring portion 170, and the raised ring portion 170 is inserted into the adapter hole 610. Using the above structure, the raised ring portion 170 can mate with the adapter hole 610 of the decorative cover plate 600, thereby allowing the decorative cover plate 600 to be positioned and installed stably. In this embodiment, the end face of the raised ring portion 170 is flush with the outer surface of the decorative cover plate 600, resulting in good flatness.

[0046] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 160 includes an upper ear portion 162 and a lower ear portion 163, which are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the housing 150. Both the upper ear portion 162 and the lower ear portion 163 are provided with mounting holes 161. A decorative cover plate 600 simultaneously covers both the upper ear portion 162 and the lower ear portion 163. Using this structure, a single decorative cover plate 600 can simultaneously cover screws at two locations, resulting in a simple structure that is easy to manufacture.

[0047] In this embodiment, the upper and lower parts of the decorative cover plate 600 are respectively provided with pairs of buckles 620. The two pairs of buckles 620 are respectively provided for the upper ear 162 and the lower ear 163. The two pairs of buckles 620 are respectively snapped and connected to the two sides of the corresponding ear, so that the decorative cover plate 600 is securely installed and the installation is relatively convenient. It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the decorative cover plate 600 is not limited to the above-described structure for installation on the mounting plate 160. For example, it can be fixed by fasteners or other structures. Those skilled in the art can configure it according to the actual situation.

[0048] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0049] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
