Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] See attached document Figure 1-2 A general-purpose lock for toolboxes, comprising a lock body 19 and a lock rod assembly, wherein the lock rod assembly is located on one side of the lock body 19, and the lock body 19 contains a combination wheel assembly, a wheel axle 12 assembly, a lock cylinder assembly and a lock tongue assembly, wherein the lock cylinder assembly is located in the lower middle part of the lock body 19 and its upper part is connected to the lower part of the lock tongue assembly, wherein the combination wheel assembly is located on the side of the lock cylinder assembly, and the upper part of the combination wheel assembly is linked to a button 10 through the wheel axle 12 assembly, wherein one end of the button 10 is located inside the lock body 19 and is connected to the upper part of the lock tongue assembly; the lock tongue assembly includes a lock tongue 4, wherein the end of the lock tongue 4 is provided with a lock tongue hook 21, and the lock rod assembly includes a lock rod 1 with a ring groove 20 at the lower part, wherein the lock tongue hook 21 is hooked or released from the ring groove 20.

[0022] The latch 4 is inclined within the lock body 19, and the upper side of the latch hook 21 is sloped. Under external force, the latch assembly will be dragged upward with the lock rod 1. The increased contact area between the latch hook 21 and the annular groove 20 of the lock rod 1 increases the tensile force, thereby increasing the stability of the lock body 19. Preferably, the inclination angle of the latch 4 is about 40-50 degrees.

[0023] The latch assembly also includes a latch return spring 5 and a connecting rod 5. One end of the latch return spring 5 is connected to the bottom of the latch 4, and the other end is connected to the inside of the lock body 19. The lower part of the latch 4 is connected to the connecting rod 5.

[0024] The lower part of the latch 4 is provided with a latch boss 24, the upper end of the connecting rod 5 is provided with an upper hook 25, and the lower end of the connecting rod 5 is provided with a lower hook 26. The upper hook 25 is hooked to the latch boss 24, and the lower hook 26 is hooked to the lock cylinder assembly.

[0025] The button 10 has a button gripper 22 at its front end, and the latch 4 has grooves 23 on both sides of its middle section. The gripper is positioned in the grooves 23 to push the latch 4 downward. The button 10 has a button return spring 11 on its upper front side. The gripper structure makes its connection with the latch 4 more stable and the pushing smoother.

[0026] The locking rod assembly also includes a top bead 2 and a top bead return spring 3. The top bead 2 is fixed to the bottom of the locking rod 1, and one end of the top bead return spring 3 is sleeved on the lower part of the top bead 2, while the other end is fixed inside the lock body 19.

[0027] The combination wheel assembly includes an inner combination wheel 14, an outer combination wheel 15, and a spring 16. The inner combination wheel 14 is located inside the lock body 19. The upper part of the inner combination wheel 14 is connected to the bottom of the axle wheel assembly. The spring 16 is fixed to one side of the inner combination wheel 14 inside the lock body 19. The outer combination wheel 15 is sleeved on the outside of the inner combination wheel 14 and its side contacts the spring 16.

[0028] The wheel axle 12 assembly includes a wheel axle 12 and a wheel axle return spring 13. The front end of the wheel axle 12 is engaged with the middle of the button 10, and the wheel axle return spring 13 is sleeved on the lower part of the wheel axle 12.

[0029] The lock cylinder assembly includes a lock cylinder 7, a lock cylinder blade 8, and a blade spring 9. The upper part of the lock cylinder 7 is hooked to the lower hook 26, and the lock cylinder 7 is provided with a lock cylinder blade 8 and a blade spring 9 connected to the lock cylinder blade 8.

[0030] The upper part of the locking rod 1 is provided with a locking rod connecting cap 18, and the end of the steel cable 17 on the side of the locking rod connecting cap 18 is connected, and the other end of the steel cable 17 is fixed to the upper side of the lock body 19.

[0031] In common customs locks, the bolt 4 disengages when the pulling force is around 500N. In contrast, this lock only disengages when the bolt 4 is subjected to a pulling force of around 1500N, which greatly improves the security of the lock.

[0032] This lock features a simple and compact structure, making it easy for workers to install and faster. Its embedded lock body with a 19-inch design can be completed in just 10 seconds. In contrast, traditional latches with a 4-inch bolt are relatively small and difficult to assemble by hand, sometimes requiring special tools, which affects installation efficiency. On average, assembling a 4-inch bolt takes 20-40 seconds.

[0033] The locking process of the lock is as follows:

[0034] The locking rod 1 is inserted entirely into the lock body 19 hole. The top bead 2 at the lower part of the locking rod 1 is pressed downwards against the top bead return spring 3, while the upper end of the latch 4 retracts, creating a gap that allows the locking rod 1 to move downwards. When the movement stops, the latch spring at the lower end of the latch 4 returns the latch 4 to its original position, and the top bead spring at the lower part of the top bead 2 also returns to its original position, causing the latch hook 21 to contact and hook into the annular groove 20 on the locking rod 1. The latch 4 experiences even force and the force is distributed, increasing the tension due to the increased contact area between the latch 4 and the annular groove 20 of the locking rod 1.

[0035] The lock can be opened in the following ways:

[0036] When the password is incorrect: the key pin of the password outer wheel 15 on the axle 12 cannot avoid the key groove on the inner wheel, so the button 10 cannot be pressed.

[0037] When the password is correct: the key pin of the outer password wheel 15 on the axle 12 avoids the key groove on the inner wheel, the button 10 presses the bolt 4, the bolt assembly moves backward, and the lock can be opened.

[0038] Key unlocking: Turn the key, and the correct toothed mechanism will rotate the lock cylinder 7, pulling the bolt 4 and lever 5 to unlock.

[0039] It should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "bottom", "bottom surface", "upper part", "middle part", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
