Dual unlock mode combination lock

Abstract

The utility model discloses a password lock with two unlocking modes, which comprises a plurality of number wheel sets, a lock rod, a linkage mechanism, an operating member and an output mechanism. The linkage mechanism is movable or rotatable and connected to the number wheel sets. The operating member is operable by a user and connected to the linkage mechanism. The output mechanism is connected to the lock rod and the operating member. The user originally only knows the user password. When all the number wheel sets are rotated to the user password, the lock rod can move relative to the number wheel sets to switch the output mechanism to an unlocked state. If the user forgets the password, the user can contact the administrator to obtain the administrator password. After all the number wheel sets are rotated to the administrator password, the user can operate the operating member to switch the output mechanism to the unlocked state. The utility model has two modes and two different passwords to unlock. Even if the user forgets the password, the user can still unlock by obtaining another password.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a combination lock, and more particularly to various combination locks such as portable electronic device locks, cabinet locks, and padlocks. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, a considerable number of devices or apparatuses use combination locks, such as laptop lockers for theft prevention, locker lockers in shopping malls, or padlocks for various purposes.

[0003] However, existing combination locks only have one password, so if a user forgets the password, they cannot open the lock. This is especially true if the lock is already locked to a device or appliance, making it impossible to take away a laptop or open a cabinet door, which can cause great inconvenience.

[0004] Therefore, existing combination locks need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, this utility model provides a dual-unlocking mode combination lock, which can be unlocked by two modes and two different passwords. Therefore, even if the user forgets the password, he or she can still unlock it by obtaining the other password.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned utility model objective, the technical means employed in this utility model is to design a dual-unlocking mode combination lock, which includes:

[0007] A shell;

[0008] A multi-digit wheel assembly, which is rotatably disposed within the housing and can be rotated by the user;

[0009] A locking lever, which is movably disposed within the housing and passes through the digit wheel assembly;

[0010] A linkage mechanism is movably or rotatably disposed within the housing and connected to the digit wheel assembly;

[0011] An operating element that can be operated by a user and is connected to the linkage mechanism;

[0012] An output mechanism is provided, which connects the locking lever and the operating element, and has an unlocked state and a locked state.

[0013] When the digit wheel group rotates to a user password, the digit wheel group allows the locking lever to move relative to the digit wheel group, thereby switching the output mechanism to the unlocked state;

[0014] When the digit wheel group rotates to a manager password, the operating element is allowed to be moved or rotated by the user, and drives the linkage mechanism to move or rotate relative to the digit wheel group, so that the output mechanism switches to the unlocked state.

[0015] To achieve the aforementioned utility model objective, this utility model further provides a dual-unlocking mode combination lock, which includes:

[0016] A shell;

[0017] A multi-digit wheel assembly, which is rotatably disposed within the housing and can be rotated by the user;

[0018] A locking lever, which is movably disposed within the housing and passes through the digit wheel assembly;

[0019] A linkage mechanism is movably or rotatably disposed within the housing and connected to the digit wheel assembly;

[0020] An operating element that can be operated by a user and is connected to the linkage mechanism and one of the digit wheel sets therein;

[0021] An output mechanism is connected to the locking lever and has an unlocked state and a locked state;

[0022] When the digit wheel group rotates to a user password, the digit wheel group allows the locking lever to move relative to the digit wheel group, thereby switching the output mechanism to the unlocked state;

[0023] When the digit wheel group rotates to a manager password, the operating element is allowed to be moved or rotated by the user, and drives the linkage mechanism to move or rotate relative to the digit wheel group, so that the output mechanism switches to the unlocked state.

[0024] In use, the user initially only knows their password. When all the dials are turned to the user's password, the locking lever can move relative to those dials to switch the output mechanism to the unlocked state for subsequent unlocking. If the user forgets their password, they can contact the administrator (e.g., the lock manufacturer or the mall manager) to obtain the administrator's password. After turning all the dials to the administrator's password, the user can operate the control mechanism to switch the output mechanism to the unlocked state for subsequent unlocking. This invention thus provides two modes with two different passwords for unlocking, so even if the user forgets their password, they can still unlock the device by obtaining the other password.

[0041] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention, further illustrates the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve its intended purpose.

[0042] This utility model's dual-unlocking mode combination lock includes two states, wherein the first state includes the subsequent first to third embodiments, and the second state includes the fourth embodiment. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first type of dual-unlocking mode combination lock includes a housing 10, a set of multiple number wheels 20, a locking lever 30, a linkage mechanism 40, an operating element 50, and an output mechanism 60.

[0043] The aforementioned housing 10 is provided with a plurality of perforations to expose the character wheel assembly 20 and the operating element 50.

[0044] Please see Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the aforementioned multiple-digit number wheel assembly 20 is rotatably disposed within the housing 10 and can be rotated by the user. In this embodiment, each number wheel assembly 20 includes an inner sleeve 21, an outer sleeve 22, and a number wheel 23; the inner sleeve 21 passes through the outer sleeve 22, the outer sleeve 22 passes through the number wheel 23, and the number wheel 23 is exposed outside the housing 10 and is the element rotated by the user. When the user rotates the number wheel 23, the number wheel 23 will drive the outer sleeve 22 and the inner sleeve 21 to rotate together. The number wheel 23, the outer sleeve 22, and the inner sleeve 21 are non-rotatably coupled, but if necessary, the number wheel 23, the outer sleeve 22, and the inner sleeve 21 can move relative to each other. The inner sleeve 21 is provided with an inner notch 211, and the inner notch 211 is preferably radially recessed in the inner wall surface of the inner sleeve 21 and extends to both axial ends of the inner sleeve 21, but it can also be located in other positions or other shapes. The outer jacket 22 is provided with an outer notch 221, and the outer notch 221 is preferably radially recessed on the outer wall surface of the outer jacket 22, but it can also be located in other positions.

[0045] The aforementioned locking lever 30 is movably disposed within the housing 10 and passes through the digit wheel assembly 20. Preferably, the locking lever 30 passes through the inner sleeves 21 of the digit wheel assembly 20 and corresponds to the inner notches 211 of the inner sleeves 21. In other words, when the protrusions 31 on the outer wall surface of the locking lever 30 correspond to the inner notches 211 of the inner sleeves 21, the locking lever 30 can move relative to the digit wheel assembly 20.

[0046] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the aforementioned linkage mechanism 40 is movably or rotatably disposed within the housing 10 and connected to the digit wheel assembly 20. In the first embodiment, the linkage mechanism 40 includes a through member 41 and a steering push member 42.

[0047] The insert 41 is movably disposed within the housing 10 and tends to move toward the steering pusher 42, and corresponds to the outer notch 221 of the outer sleeve 22 of the digit wheel assembly 20 (e.g., Figure 7 and Figure 9(As shown). The insert 41 is preferably moved by an elastic element toward the steering pusher 42, but it can also be pushed by two repulsive magnets or other means.

[0048] The steering pusher 42 is movably disposed within the housing 10 and tends to move toward the through member 41. The direction of movement of the steering pusher 42 is not parallel to the direction of movement of the through member 41, but is preferably perpendicular. The movement of the steering pusher 42 toward the through member 41 can push the through member 41 toward the digit wheel assembly 20 (e.g., Figure 10 and Figure 11 (As shown). The steering actuator 42 is preferably pushed towards the through member 41 by an elastic element, but it can also be driven by two repulsive magnets or other means.

[0049] The aforementioned operating element 50 can be operated by a user and is connected to the linkage mechanism 40. In the first embodiment, the operating element 50 is operated by rotation, but it can also be operated by pushing or pressing. In the first embodiment, after the operating element 50 is operated (rotated), it will push the steering actuator 42 (e.g., Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown), this causes the steering pusher 42 to push the through member 41 (such as) toward the digit wheel assembly 20. Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown), if the digit wheel set 20 is not fully rotated to the specific password, the insert 41 cannot move toward the digit wheel set 20, and the steering pusher 42 cannot move toward the insert 41, ultimately causing the operating member 50 to be unable to be operated (rotated). The steering pusher 42 is used to change the transmission direction of the operating member 50, that is, to match the overall spatial configuration and allow for more positional options for the operating member 50. In other embodiments, the steering pusher 42 may be omitted, and the operating member 50 may directly push the insert 41 toward the digit wheel set 20.

[0050] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, the aforementioned output mechanism 60 is connected to the locking lever 30 and the operating member 50, and has an unlocked state and a locked state. In this embodiment, the unlocked state refers to the state in which the output mechanism 60 can be unlocked by the user, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, it can also be the state in which the output mechanism 60 has been unlocked.

[0051] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, when the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to a user password, the digit wheel assembly 20 allows the locking lever 30 to move relative to the digit wheel assembly 20, and the movement of the locking lever 30 causes the output mechanism 60 to switch to the unlocked state. In this embodiment, when the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to the user password, the inner grooves 211 of the inner sleeves 21 of the digit wheel assembly 20 are arranged in a straight line, so the protrusion 31 of the locking lever 30 can pass through the inner grooves 211, thus the locking lever 30 can move relative to the digit wheel assembly 20.

[0052] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, when the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to an administrator password, the linkage mechanism 40 moves or rotates relative to the digit wheel assembly 20, thereby allowing the operating element 50 to be moved or rotated by the user. The movement or rotation of the operating element 50 causes the output mechanism 60 to switch to the unlocked state. In other words, when the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to an administrator password, the operating element 50 is allowed to be moved or rotated by the user, causing the linkage mechanism 40 to move or rotate relative to the digit wheel assembly 20. The movement or rotation of the operating element 50 also causes the output mechanism 60 to switch to the unlocked state.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the digit wheel group 20 rotates to the administrator password, the outer slots 221 of the outer sleeves 22 of the digit wheel group 20 are arranged in a straight line, so the insert 41 can be inserted into the outer slots 221, and thus the insert 41 can move toward the digit wheel group 20.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 and Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the control of the output mechanism 60 by the locking lever 30 and the operating member 50 is integrated to control whether the output mechanism 60 is switched to the unlocked state. Preferably, the output mechanism 60 includes a locking member 61, and the control of the output mechanism 60 by the locking lever 30 and the operating member 50 is integrated on the locking member 61. In the locked state, the locking member 61 engages with the subsequent mechanism, preventing the subsequent mechanism from being operated to unlock. When the digit wheel group 20 rotates to the user's password and the locking lever 30 moves, the locking lever 30 will drive the locking member 61 to move, and the movement of the locking member 61 driven by the locking lever 30 will switch the output mechanism 60 to the unlocked state (e.g., ...). Figure 7 and Figure 8 (As shown). When the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to the administrator password and the operating element 50 is moved or rotated by the user, the operating element 50 will drive the locking element 61 to move, and the movement of the locking element 61 driven by the operating element 50 will switch the output mechanism 60 to the unlocked state (as shown). Figure 7 and Figure 9 (As shown).

[0055] The movement of the locking member 61 driven by the locking rod 30 and the movement of the locking member 61 driven by the operating member 50 can be in the same direction. However, in this embodiment, the direction of movement of the locking member 61 driven by the locking rod 30 is not parallel to the direction of movement of the locking member 61 driven by the operating member 50, and preferably the two movement directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0056] Specifically, the output mechanism 60 further includes a base 62, which is connected to the locking lever 30 and moves with it. A locking member 61 is disposed on the base 62 and can move relative to it. The direction of movement of the locking member 61 relative to the base 62 is not parallel to the direction of movement of the locking lever 30, and preferably the two directions are perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, the locking member 61 is selectively pushed by the operating member 50. In other words, the locking lever 30 pushes the base 62, which in turn drives the locking member 61 (which can be considered as the locking lever 30 driving the base 62 and the locking member 61 to move together), while the operating member 50 directly drives the locking member 61 (relative to the base 62). However, both drive the locking member 61 to move in different directions, and both of these different directions of movement of the locking member 61 enable the output mechanism 60 to switch to the unlocked state.

[0057] The output mechanism 60 includes a mechanism for securing other items or a mechanism for fixing the present invention to a specific position. For example, in the first embodiment, the output mechanism 60 includes a latch 64 of a laptop lock (such as...). Figure 1 As shown), in the second embodiment, the output mechanism 60 includes the latch 67 of the cabinet lock (as shown). Figure 13 (As shown).

[0058] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, in the first and second embodiments, the output mechanism 60 includes an output shaft 63, which is selectively engaged by the engaging member 61 and cannot rotate.

[0059] In the locked state, the engaging member 61 engages with the output shaft 63, preventing the output shaft 63 from rotating (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown).

[0060] When the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to the user's password, the locking lever 30 can move away from the output shaft 63, thereby causing the engaging member 61 to disengage from the output shaft 63 and allowing the output shaft 63 to rotate. Specifically, an elastic element pushes the locking lever 30 toward the output shaft 63, and when the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to the user's password, the user can pull the locking lever 30 away from the output shaft 63, or directly rotate the output shaft 63 to push the locking lever 30 open (e.g., ...). Figure 7 and Figure 8 (As shown).

[0061] When the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to the administrator password and the operating member 50 is moved or rotated by the user, the operating member 50 causes the engaging member 61 to move relative to the base 62, thereby causing the engaging member 61 to no longer engage the output shaft 63, allowing the output shaft 63 to rotate. Specifically, the engaging member 61 moves axially along the output shaft 63, causing the engaging member 61 to be axially displaced from the point where it engages with the output shaft 63 (e.g., ...). Figure 7 and Figure 9 (As shown) without engaging the output shaft rod 63.

[0062] The output shaft 63 can be combined with different components to form different types of locks, and whether the output shaft 63 can be rotated determines whether it is locked or unlocked. When the output shaft 63 can be rotated, it can be unlocked; when the output shaft 63 cannot be rotated, it is locked.

[0063] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 12 As shown, in the first embodiment, the output mechanism 60 further includes two hooks 64 for engaging the tamper-evident hole of a portable electronic device and connecting to the output shaft 63; rotation of the output shaft 63 can cause the two hooks 64 to unfold or retract. Preferably, in the unlocked state, the user can rotate the output shaft 63, which will cause a spreading member 65 to rotate together. The spreading member 65 is threaded onto a sleeve 66, so the rotated spreading member 65 will move toward the two hooks 64, thereby spreading the two hooks 64 apart.

[0064] Please see Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in the second embodiment, the output mechanism 60 further includes a latch 67, which is disposed on the output shaft 63 and extends radially along the output shaft 63. In the unlocked state, the user can rotate the output shaft 63, and the rotation of the output shaft 63 can drive the latch 67 to rotate to different angles, thereby enabling it to be used as a cabinet lock to secure the door panel, and thus can be used for lockers in shopping malls, etc. In addition, this structure can also be used as a general door lock.

[0065] The types of locks that can be formed by the output shaft 63 are not limited to the two mentioned above, and the output mode of the output mechanism 60 is not limited to the output shaft 63.

[0066] In the first and second embodiments, the operating element 50 is a knob, preferably a knob that can be turned by a tool (e.g., a screwdriver), but is not limited thereto.

[0067] Please see Figures 15 to 20As shown, in the third embodiment, the operating element 50 is also a knob, but its position differs from that in the first and second embodiments. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the linkage mechanism 40 does not have a steering pusher 42, and the operating element 50, when rotated, directly pushes the through-feature 41 (e.g., ...) towards the digit wheel assembly 20. Figure 17 and Figure 18 (As shown). When the operating part 50 is rotated, it will also push the engaging part 61 (as shown). Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown in the figure, the third embodiment can achieve the same effect as the first embodiment.

[0068] Furthermore, the operating member 50 is not limited to the knobs of the three embodiments described above. The operating member 50 can also be changed to a pressing or pushing form. After being pressed or pushed, the through member 41 and the locking member 61 are pushed by the inclined surface. This is also possible.

[0069] The three embodiments described above constitute the first form of this utility model, in which the locking rod 30 and the operating member 50 are both connected to and control the output mechanism 60. The second form of this utility model is modified so that the operating member 50 is connected to one of the digit wheel groups 20, and the digit wheel group 20 is released when unlocking, so that the locking rod 30 can drive the digit wheel group 20 to move together, thereby switching the output mechanism 60 to the unlocked state.

[0070] Specifically, please refer to Figures 21 to 23 As shown, in the fourth embodiment, preferably, the operating member 50 includes an operating part 51 and a stop part 52. The stop part 52 abuts against the inner sleeve 21 of one end of the character wheel assembly 20, so the inner sleeve 21 of the character wheel assembly 20 cannot move, and the inner sleeve 21 also blocks the movement of the inner sleeve 21 of the adjacent character wheel assembly 20. Therefore, the inner sleeve 21 of all the character wheel assemblies 20 cannot move.

[0071] When the digit wheel assembly 20 rotates to the administrator's password, the linkage mechanism 40 (through member 41) of the digit wheel assembly 20 (outer casing 22) moves or rotates relative to the digit wheel assembly 20, thereby allowing the operating member 50 (operating part 51) to be moved or rotated by the user. After the operating part 51 of the operating member 50 is moved or rotated, it will drive the abutment part 52 and cause the abutment part 52 to disengage from the inner sleeve 21 of one end of the digit wheel assembly 20. Therefore, the inner sleeves 21 of all digit wheel assemblies can move. So even if all the inner sleeves 21 are not rotated to the angle corresponding to the locking lever 30, and the locking lever 30 cannot move relative to the inner sleeves 21, since the inner sleeves 21 can be moved at this time, the locking lever 30 can be moved directly along with all the inner sleeves 21 (e.g., Figure 23 (As shown). Therefore, regardless of whether the digit wheel set 20 rotates to the user's password, the locking lever 30 can disengage from all inner sleeves 21 and move (as shown). Figure 22(As shown), or the digit wheel group 20 rotates to the administrator password and the locking lever 30 moves together with all the inner sleeves 21. Ultimately, the locking lever 30 moves, and the output mechanism 60 is switched to the unlocked state by the movement of the locking lever 30.

[0072] At this time, the locking member 61 can be set at one end of the locking rod 30. Therefore, when the locking rod 30 moves away from the output shaft rod 63, it will no longer lock the output shaft rod 63, allowing the output shaft rod 63 to be rotated by the user.

[0073] Alternatively, the output mechanism 60 can be connected to one end of the locking bar 30, and the output mechanism 60 can be bent into a U-shape, thus serving as a padlock.

[0074] The locking bar 30 can be combined with different components to form different types of locks, and whether the locking bar 30 can be moved determines whether it is locked or unlocked. When the locking bar 30 can be moved, it can be unlocked; when the locking bar 30 cannot be moved, it is locked.

[0075] In summary, users can unlock the device using their password. When all the digit wheel sets 20 are rotated to the user password, the locking lever 30 can move relative to those digit wheel sets 20 to switch the output mechanism 60 to the unlocked state for subsequent unlocking (e.g., rotating the output shaft 63).

[0076] If a user forgets their password, they can contact the administrator (such as the lock manufacturer or the mall manager) to obtain the administrator's password. After turning all the dials 20 to the administrator's password, the user can operate the operating mechanism 50 (for example, by turning the operating mechanism 50 with a screwdriver). This will also switch the output mechanism 60 to the unlocked state for subsequent unlocking (for example, by turning the output shaft 63 or pulling out the U-shaped output mechanism 60).

[0077] This invention provides two modes for unlocking with two different passwords, so even if the user forgets the password, they can still unlock the device by obtaining the other password.

[0078] Finally, the housing 10 of this invention can be marked with an identification code, allowing the manufacturer to set a unique administrator password for each lock, instead of using the same administrator password for all locks. When a user needs the administrator password, they can provide the administrator with the lock's identification code to obtain a unique administrator password for that lock, thereby improving security.

[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model's technical solution. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the content of the present utility model's technical solution shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model's technical solution.
