Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to safes, and more particularly to a portable key safe. Background Technology

[0002] Safes are used to store valuables or items that need to be properly preserved, such as gold, seals, ownership certificates, keys, identification documents, etc., which can effectively reduce the risk of theft or loss.

[0003] Traditional safes are quite heavy to increase the difficulty of moving them, and when combined with locks that are not easily damaged or cracked, they can effectively prevent theft.

[0004] Examples include Taiwan Announcement No. TWM615054U "Moisture-proof Safe", Taiwan Publication No. TW200300475A "Fireproof Safe", and Taiwan Publication No. TW200848594A "Remote Monitoring Safe", etc. These are various types of safes with different functions. In addition to the basic functions of theft prevention and proper storage, they can also meet the needs of different users.

[0005] For real estate rental operators, it is often necessary to take clients to visit different houses on a single trip, which requires carrying a large number of keys. However, carrying a large number of keys often leads to confusion and loss. Although traditional safes can properly store a large number of keys, they obviously cannot meet the requirements of being lightweight and portable, so there is an urgent need to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0013] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the use of the structure of this utility model. Figure 3 . Detailed Implementation

[0014] The detailed description and technical content of this utility model are as follows, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0015] Please see " Figure 1 "", " Figure 2 "and" Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model is a portable key safe, including a case 10 and a locking device 20. The case 10 may be made of plastic steel and has a case body 11, a receiving space 12, a handle 13, an operating panel 14, and two door panels 15. The receiving space 12 is formed inside the case body 11, and the handle 13 is disposed above the case body 11. In one embodiment, the case body 11 has an inwardly recessed groove 111, and the handle 13 spans across the groove 111. With this design, the handle 13 can be integrated with the contour of the case body 11, thereby increasing the visual aesthetics. The control panel 14 is located on the front side of the housing 11. The two door panels 15 are located on both sides of the control panel 14 and are pivotally connected to the housing 11. A torsion spring (not shown) can be provided between the two door panels 15 and the housing 11. Driven by the elastic force of the torsion spring, the two door panels 15 are opened to reveal the accommodating space 12.

[0016] Please also refer to " Figure 2 "and" Figure 3 As shown, the locking device 20 is disposed on the operation panel 14. The locking device 20 has multiple input keys 21, a first latch assembly 22, a second latch assembly 23 and an opening knob 24. The first latch assembly 22 and the second latch assembly 23 are respectively located on both sides of the operation panel 14 to lock the door panel 15 respectively.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first latch assembly 22 has a pull rod head 221, two pull rods 222, two fasteners 223, and two return springs 224. The door panel 15 corresponding to the first latch assembly 22 has two latches 151, which are locked onto the two fasteners 223. When the door opening knob 24 is turned, it moves the pull rod head 221 outward, which in turn moves the two pull rods 222 toward the pull rod head 221. That is, the lower pull rod 222 slides upward, and the upper pull rod 222 slides downward. When the two pull rods 222 slide upward and downward respectively, they will move the two fasteners 223 synchronously, causing the two fasteners 223 to disengage from the two latches 151 and unlock. Furthermore, the two pull rods 222 can slide back to their original positions via the return springs 224, allowing the two fasteners 223 to re-engage the two latches 151 and lock them in place. Therefore, when the pull rod head 221 moves outward, it will cause the two pull rods 222 to slide upward and downward respectively. The two pull rods 222 will drive the two fasteners 223 to move synchronously. After the two fasteners 223 move, the two latches 151 can disengage from the two fasteners 223 and unlock. At this time, the door panel 15 will open due to the elastic force of the torsion spring, revealing the accommodating space 12. Similarly, the second latch assembly 23 has a pull rod head 231, two pull rods 232, two fasteners 233, and two return springs 234, and has the same structural operation.

[0018] As described above, the door opening knob 24 can unlock the first latch assembly 22 and the second latch assembly 23 by rotating it. For anti-theft purposes, the multiple input keys 21 are designed to allow input of a password to control whether the door opening knob 24 can be rotated. In implementation, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a solenoid valve 25 is used to control whether the door opening knob 24 can be rotated. More specifically, the solenoid valve 25 has a valve stem 251, which normally extends into and fixes the door opening knob 24, interfering with it. At this time, the door opening knob 24 cannot be rotated. However, when the password is entered correctly, for a period of time, such as within 3 seconds, the valve stem 251 of the solenoid valve 25 will temporarily shift to a position where it no longer interferes with the door opening knob 24. In this way, the door opening knob 24 can be rotated to unlock the first latch assembly 22 and the second latch assembly 23.

[0019] Please also refer to " Figure 1"", " Figure 3 "and" Figure 4 In practice, the door opening knob 24 is normally in a closed position (e.g., Figure 1 As shown), and can be rotated to a first unlock position (as shown). Figure 3 (as shown) and a second unlocking position (as shown) Figure 4 (As shown). When the door opening knob 24 is turned to the first unlocking position, the locking device 20 will unlock the first latch assembly 22, allowing the corresponding door panel 15 to open (as shown). Figure 3 (As shown); when the door opening knob 24 is turned to the second unlocking position, the locking device 20 will unlock the second latch assembly 23, allowing the corresponding door panel 15 on the other side to open (as shown). Figure 4 (As shown).

[0020] Please refer to "" Figure 5 ", and when it is necessary to open both of the door panels 15 (such as Figure 5 As shown, by alternately rotating the door opening knob 24 to the first unlocking position and the second unlocking position, the locking device 20 will unlock the first latch assembly 22 and the second latch assembly 23, thereby opening both door panels 15. In one embodiment, the first unlocking position is when the door opening knob 24 is rotated 70 to 80 degrees clockwise, and the second unlocking position is when the door opening knob 24 is rotated 70 to 80 degrees counterclockwise.

[0021] Please refer to "" Figure 3 In one embodiment, the suitcase 10 further includes a partition 16 that divides the accommodating space 12, with both sides of the partition 16 facing the two door panels 15. In use, the invention also includes multiple key card holders 30, which are respectively fixed to the partition 16 and the two door panels 15. Each key card holder 30 has a hook 31. Preferably, the multiple key card holders 30 are arranged in an array on the partition 16 and the two door panels 15. Thus, the multiple key card holders 30 can hold multiple keys (not shown).

[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following characteristics:

[0023] 1. The design of the handle on the case body makes it portable and meets the needs of carrying it with you.

[0024] 2. By turning the door opening knob to different unlocking positions, you can select to unlock different door panels to easily retrieve the required key.

[0025] 3. The suitcase can be made of plastic steel, which is lightweight, reducing the burden on the carrier and making it easy to carry.
