Detailed Implementation

[0024] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a combination lock includes a housing 100 for assembling a combination component 200. The combination component 200 includes a combination wheel 210 and an inner wheel 220 that are linked together, and an unlocking piece 230 that works with the combination wheel 210 and the inner wheel 220 to lock and unlock. The housing 100 includes an upper shell 110 that works with the combination wheel 210. The upper shell 110 is provided with a limiting hole 111 for the combination wheel 210 to move. The upper shell 110 is provided with a code-adjusting device 300 that works with the unlocking piece 230 at a position close to the limiting hole 111. When the combination is correct, the code-adjusting device 300 realizes the opening and closing of the code-adjusting function through the reciprocating motion of the upper shell 110. For details on the specific usage method, please refer to the following text.

[0025] The code-changing device 300 is provided with a guide surface 310 that forces the inner wheel 220 to move and disengage from the code wheel 210. The inner wheel 220 is provided with a guide block 221 that cooperates with the guide surface 310. The code-changing device 300 realizes the code-changing function through reciprocating motion and the cooperation of the guide surface 310 and the guide block 221. The guide surface 310 has an inclination, and the guide surface 310 generates a thrust on the inner wheel 220 as the code-changing device 300 reciprocates.

[0026] The upper shell 110 is provided with a limiting groove 112 for the code adjustment device 300 to reciprocate in a limited manner. The code adjustment device 300 is provided with a push button 320 that cooperates with the limiting groove 112. The code adjustment device 300 realizes the limited reciprocating motion on the upper shell 110 through the cooperation of the limiting groove 112 and the push button 320. The limiting groove 112 is located on one side of the limiting hole 111, next to the code wheel 210.

[0027] The unlocking plate 230 is provided with a stop 231 to prevent the code switching device 300 from moving. The code switching device 300 is provided with a protrusion 330 that cooperates with the stop 231. When the password is wrong, the code switching device 300 and the unlocking plate 230 disable the code switching function through the cooperation of the stop 231 and the protrusion 330. Since the unlocking plate 230 is in the downward position when the password is wrong, the cooperation of the stop 231 and the protrusion 330 prevents the code switching device 300 from moving, thus preventing the code switching function from being enabled.

[0028] The housing 100 is provided with an axle 240 for mounting the inner wheel 220. The axial direction of the axle 240 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the code-setting device 300. The unlocking plate 230 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. The inner wheel 220 is provided with a groove 222, and the unlocking plate 230 is provided with a protrusion 232 that matches the groove 222. When the code is correct, the unlocking plate 230 is engaged in the groove 222 through the protrusion 232 to unlock. The unlocking plate 230 is always engaged with the lock. When the code is correct, that is, when the inner wheel 220 is in the correct position, it means that all the grooves 222 are facing the unlocking plate 230. The unlocking plate 230 has room to move upward and lifts up to release the lock, thus achieving the purpose of unlocking. The inner wheel 220 is sleeved on the axle 240, and the code wheel 210 is also sleeved on the axle 240 through the inner wheel 220.

[0029] The unlocking plate 230 is provided with an elastic device 233 that forces the unlocking plate 230 to move toward the inner wheel 220. The elastic device 233 is preferably a spring structure. Once the password is correct, the unlocking plate 230 will disengage from the lock head with the cooperation of the elastic device 233 to unlock.

[0030] The cipher wheel 210 is provided with a groove 211 that works in conjunction with the inner wheel 220. The inner wheel 220 is provided with a protrusion 223 that works in conjunction with the groove 211. The cipher wheel 210 is sleeved on the outside of the inner wheel 220 and is engaged in the groove 211 by the protrusion 223. The cipher wheel 210 and the inner wheel 220 are engaged in conjunction by the protrusion 223 engaging in the groove 211, and the engagement between the cipher wheel 210 and the inner wheel 220 is disengaged by the protrusion 223 disengaging from the groove 211.

[0031] The housing 100 includes a lower housing 120 that is fixedly assembled with the upper housing 110. The upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 are fixedly assembled by screws. Most of the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 on the market are fixedly assembled by snap-fit, while this application uses screws for fastening, which makes the structure stable and reliable.

[0032] One end of the unlocking plate 230 is provided with a locking block 234 for locking the lock head. The side of the lower shell 120 is provided with a locking groove 121 that cooperates with the lock head (not shown in the figure) to enter and exit. The lock head is locked through the locking groove 121 and through the cooperation of the locking block 234. The lock head is the lock tongue, which belongs to the box body part and is not shown in the figure. The lock head locks the box door through the unlocking plate 230.

[0033] The upper shell 110 is provided with several spring arms 113 that are convenient to snap onto a carrier, which refers to an object such as a storage box or combination lock that requires a combination lock. Previously, the shell 100 was fixed to the box body with screws. However, it is more convenient to install the shell 100 by snapping it onto the box body with spring arms 113. Moreover, the anti-retraction part 114 on the spring arm 113 can firmly lock into the box body to prevent the shell 100 from being removed from the installation direction. It is equivalent to a barbed structure. A hollow structure can be set on the box body relative to the position of the spring arms 113 to facilitate the removal of the combination lock. Four spring arms 113 can be symmetrically arranged, which takes into account both structural stability and processing cost.

[0034] How to use:

[0035] When the password is incorrect, the inner wheel 220, which is not in the groove 222, is aligned with the unlocking plate 230. At this time, the unlocking plate 230 can only be in the downward position and firmly hooks the lock head, thus locking the lock body.

[0036] When unlocking is required, the combination wheel 210 is adjusted to the correct position. Since the inner wheel 220 is linked to the combination wheel 210, the inner wheel 220 also rotates. When all the combination wheels 210 are in the correct position, the grooves 222 on the inner wheel 220 are aligned with the unlocking plate 230. The unlocking plate 230 has room to move from the downward to the upward position. At the same time, with the cooperation of the elastic device 233, the unlocking plate 230 is lifted up and releases the lock, thus completing the unlocking.

[0037] When code adjustment is required, the password must be correct. When the password is incorrect, the unlocking plate 230 is in the downward position, and the presence of the stop 231 and the protrusion 330 prevents the code adjustment device 300 from moving, so the code adjustment device 300 cannot be moved. When the password is correct, the unlocking plate 230 is in the upward position, and the stop 231 and the protrusion 330 are no longer engaged, allowing the code adjustment device 300 to be moved. After the code adjustment device 300 is moved, due to the... The guide surface 310 on the 0-axis, together with the guide block 221, causes the protrusions 223 to disengage from the groove 211. This means that the linkage between the code wheel 210 and the inner wheel 220 is released. At this time, the code wheel 210 is turned to the desired code, and then the code adjustment device 300 is turned. With the cooperation of the spring 241 on the wheel axle 240, the protrusions 223 are re-engaged into the groove 211, and the code wheel 210 and the inner wheel 220 are linked again, waiting for the next code adjustment.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Simple modifications and substitutions made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
