[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a waterproof and anti-pry padlock, including a lock body 1, and a waterproof and anti-pry component 2 installed on the outside of the lock body 1. The waterproof and anti-pry component 2 includes a protective frame 201, a lock hook 202, a transparent cover 203 and a top plate 204.
[0030] A protective frame 201 is slidably connected to the outside of the lock body 1, and a lock hook 202 is rotatably connected to the inside of the lock body 1. A transparent cover 203 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective frame 201, and a top plate 204 is installed at the top of the protective frame 201. A through groove is opened inside the top plate 204 to facilitate the installation of the top plate 204 by passing through the lock hook 202.
[0031] The bottom of the lock body 1 is equipped with a dustproof limiting component 3, which includes a sliding plate 301, a slider 302, a magnet 303, and a fixing box 304.
[0032] A sliding plate 301 is slidably connected to the outside of the protective frame 201. A slider 302 is fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding plate 301. The slider 302 is made of iron material. Magnets 303 are fixedly connected to both sides inside the protective frame 201. A fixed box 304 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 204.
[0033] The waterproof and tamper-proof assembly 2 also includes a rubber sealing ring 205, a switch 206, a pressure sensor 207, a limit block 208, a warning light 209, and a buzzer 210;
[0034] A rubber sealing ring 205 is fitted on the outside of the lock hook 202. The rubber sealing ring 205 consists of two rubber rings and a pad. The rubber sealing ring 205 is embedded and connected to the inside of the top plate 204, which effectively prevents rainwater from seeping into the lock body 1 from the gaps, reducing the risk of the internal parts of the lock body 1 rusting or jamming due to moisture. A pressure sensor 207 and a switch 206 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate 204. Limit blocks 208 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective frame 201. A warning light 209 and a buzzer 210 are fixedly installed inside the protective frame 201 and the transparent cover 203. The warning light 209 and the buzzer 210 are electrically connected to the switch 206. The switch 206 has a battery inside, which not only weakens the destructive effect, but also quickly attracts the attention of the surroundings, effectively curbing the continuation of the theft.
[0035] The top plate 204 is passed through the lock hook 202, and the two rubber rings of the rubber sealing ring 205 are fitted onto the lock hook 202. The pad is embedded in the through groove of the top plate 204, which can effectively prevent rainwater from seeping into the lock body 1 from the gaps, reducing the risk of rust and jamming of the internal parts of the lock body 1 due to moisture. This greatly improves the durability and waterproof reliability of the lock in humid or rainy environments. When the lock hook 202 is maliciously pried, the force generated by the prying will cause the lock hook 202 and the lock body 1 to shift inside the protective frame 201. The top touch switch 206 of the lock body 1, the warning light 209 and the buzzer 210 respond in time to give a warning. If a red light flashing mode is used, the visual deterrence is enhanced, and a warning can be given in time at the beginning of the prying behavior. This not only weakens the destructive effect, but also quickly attracts the attention of the surroundings, effectively curbing the continuation of the theft and ensuring the waterproof and pry-proof performance of the padlock.
[0036] The dustproof limit assembly 3 also includes a return spring 305, a connecting rod 306, a fixing block 307, and a positioning block 308;
[0037] A return spring 305 is fixedly connected inside the fixed box 304. A connecting rod 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the return spring 305. A fixing block 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 306. A limit spring is fixedly connected inside the fixing block 307 to position the top plate 204, ensuring the waterproof and early warning effect of the top plate 204 and ensuring the performance of the lock body 1. A positioning block 308 is symmetrically slidably connected inside the fixing block 307.
[0038] When installing the top plate 204, push the positioning block 308 so that it is embedded inside the fixing block 307. The return spring 305 drives the connecting rod 306 and the fixing block 307 to pass through the limiting block 208. After the squeezing force is lost, the limiting spring drives the two positioning blocks 308 to extend out of the fixing block 307, limiting the fixing block 307 and providing all-round protection for the lock body 1. Push the sliding plate 301, and the sliding plate 301 drives the slider 302 to slide inside the protective frame 201. The sliding plate 301 can be opened, and the key can be passed through the keyhole to open the lock. Similarly, slide the sliding plate 301 in the opposite direction. After moving to the appropriate position, the slider 302 is attracted by the magnet 303, positioning the sliding plate 301 and preventing dust or insects from entering the keyhole and clogging it.
