[0002] With increasing environmental awareness and the development of urban transportation, electric bicycles have become an important means of transportation for urban and rural residents in my country due to their convenience and economy. Their ownership continues to grow rapidly. However, the high value of electric bicycles has also made them a primary target for theft. Frequent thefts have caused significant property losses and mental distress to users. Therefore, anti-pry and anti-cutting composite locking structures are an essential component of electric bicycles.
[0003] Existing composite locking structures are relatively complex and poorly designed. In actual use, they only achieve anti-pry and anti-cutting effects by increasing structural rigidity, but the locking structure can still be forcibly opened by cutting, thus failing to achieve the desired anti-pry and anti-cutting effect. To address this problem, the inventors designed a composite anti-pry and anti-cutting locking structure for electric vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides an embodiment of an anti-pry and anti-cutting composite locking structure for electric vehicles. The composite locking structure includes a lock body 1, a lock cylinder 2, a detection component 3, a mounting component 4, and a limiting component 5. The lock cylinder 2 is located at the bottom of the lock body 1, the detection component 3 is located outside the lock body 1, the mounting component 4 is disposed between the detection component 3 and the lock body 1, and the limiting component 5 is disposed on one side of the detection component 3.
[0026] The lock body 1 is the main load-bearing structure, which runs through the electric vehicle wheel to form a physical locking barrier to resist violent prying and shearing. The lock cylinder 2 receives the insertion of the lock body 1 to achieve mechanical locking.
[0027] The detection component 3 includes a transparent ring 31, a limiting plate 32, and a miniature camera 33; the limiting plate 32 is attached to one side of the surface of the transparent ring 31, and the miniature camera 33 is disposed inside the transparent ring 31.
[0028] The transparent ring 31 protects the internal miniature camera 33 and uses optical properties to achieve unobstructed monitoring. Displacement triggers monitoring when subjected to external force. The limiting plate 32 is used to restrict the miniature camera 33 to move inside the transparent ring 31. The miniature camera 33 records the surrounding environment in real time and detects theft.
[0029] A connecting post 34 is fixed on the outer surface of the transparent ring 31. The connecting posts 34 are arranged in a circular array on the outside of the transparent ring 31, and the connecting posts 34 are inserted into the inside of the limiting plate 32.
[0030] The connecting post 34 can accurately and stably fix the limiting plate 32 to one side of the transparent ring 31;
[0031] Mounting component 4 includes a support frame 41, a support block 42, and a connecting rod 43; the support frame 41 is fixed to the outer surface of the lock body 1, the support block 42 is fixed to the outer surface of the transparent ring 31, and the support block 42 is inserted inside the support frame 41; the connecting rod 43 passes through and connects the support frame 41 and the support block 42.
[0032] The support frame 41 is used to connect with the support block 42, thereby fixing the transparent ring 31 in the desired position, and the connecting rod 43 is used to connect the support frame 41 and the support block 42 together.
[0033] A limiting block 44 is fixed to the side surface of the connecting rod 43 near the limiting plate 32, and the limiting block 44 is attached to the surface of the support block 42;
[0034] The limiting block 44 is used to restrict the connecting rod 43 inside the support frame 41 and to quickly position the connecting rod 43 at the bottom of the first screw 46;
[0035] A fixing post 45 is fixed on the top surface of the lock body 1, and a connecting rod 43 is connected through the inside of the fixing post 45. The fixing post 45 and the connecting rod 43 are connected by a first screw 46 through the thread.
[0036] The fixing post 45 is used to connect with the connecting rod 43. The connecting rod 43 is then fixed inside the fixing post 45 by the first screw 46, so that the support block 42 can be fixed inside the support frame 41.
[0037] The limiting component 5 includes a support column 51, a mounting frame 52, and a rotating column 53; the support column 51 is fixed to the surfaces on both sides of the support frame 41, the mounting frame 52 is fixed to the outer surface of the limiting plate 32, and the rotating column 53 is rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting frame 52.
[0038] The support column 51 is used to connect with the rotating column 53, thereby fixing the limiting plate 32 in the required position, and the mounting frame 52 is used to support and install the rotating column 53.
[0039] The support column 51 has an installation groove 54 on the side near the limiting plate 32. The bottom of the rotating column 53 is located inside the installation groove 54. The support column 51 and the rotating column 53 are connected by a second screw 55 through internal threads.
[0040] The mounting slot 54 is used to house the bottom of the rotating column 53 into the interior of the support column 51, and the second screw 55 is used to secure the rotating column 53 in the desired position.
[0041] Working principle: When a composite locking structure is required, the lock body 1 is passed through the inside of the electric vehicle wheel and then inserted into the lock cylinder 2. When the lock body 1 is subjected to a moving force, the miniature camera 33 can be displaced inside the transparent ring 31 due to the influence of the shape of the transparent ring 31. This allows for real-time monitoring of the electric vehicle's surrounding environment, and can record the thief when theft occurs.
[0042] When the miniature camera 33 needs to be repaired, apply a rotational force to the second screw 55 to disengage it from the support column 51. Then apply a rotational force to the rotating column 53 to disengage it from the mounting groove 54. Finally, apply a pulling force to the rotating column 53 to remove the limiting plate 32 from the transparent ring 31.
[0043] When it is necessary to replace the transparent ring 31, apply a rotational force to the first screw 46 to disengage it from the interior of the connecting rod 43. Then, apply a pushing force to the connecting rod 43 to disengage it from the interior of the support block 42. Finally, apply a pulling force to the transparent ring 31 to disengage the support block 42 from the interior of the support frame 41.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
