Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, specifically to a bag lock with multiple unlocking methods. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for luggage for work, travel, and business trips, various types of bags have become increasingly important in people's lives. People often put valuables and documents in their bags for easy carrying. Therefore, the security and theft prevention of bags are receiving more and more attention, and bag locks have become an indispensable component of bags.

[0003] Most existing luggage locks are unlocked using passwords and keys. Of course, there are also locks that can be unlocked using fingerprints, cards, or facial recognition. However, very few luggage locks can integrate all three methods together. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a bag lock with multiple unlocking methods.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-mode unlocking luggage lock is provided, including a lock shell, a combination module, a key module, an identity recognition unlocking module, a lock hook, and a transmission rod. The lock hook is movably installed inside the lock shell, and the transmission rod is slidably installed inside the lock shell and linked with the lock hook.

[0007] The lock housing has multiple assembly cylinders, one of which has a button slidably mounted on it. A stop is movably mounted below the button, and the stop prevents the button from moving when the lock is engaged.

[0008] The key module includes a lock core located in another assembly cylinder. When the correct key is inserted into the lock core and the lock core is turned, or when the correct password is entered into the password module, the stop member can be driven to release the constraint on the button. When the button is pressed by external force, the transmission rod can slide to unlock the lock hook.

[0009] The identification unlocking module includes an identification module installed in another assembly cylinder, and a control module and an electric drive module installed in the lock body. The control module can use the identification signal transmitted by the identification module to control the electric drive module to drive the transmission rod to slide and unlock the lock hook.

[0010] Specifically, there is a locking ramp between the bottom of the button and the transmission rod, so that the button moves downward and drives the transmission rod in a perpendicular direction.

[0011] Specifically, the password module includes an unlocking plate, multiple number wheels, and multiple inner sleeves. The unlocking plate and the stop member are connected and slide together. The multiple number wheels and multiple inner sleeves are rotatably fitted onto different assembly cylinders, and the multiple inner sleeves are installed one-to-one on the bottom of the multiple number wheels, and are circumferentially engaged with each other to rotate together. The outer side of each of the multiple inner sleeves is provided with an unlocking groove, and the unlocking plate is provided with multiple unlocking protrusions corresponding to each unlocking groove. When the number wheel rotates to the correct password, all unlocking grooves align with the corresponding unlocking protrusions, and the unlocking plate can slide, thereby causing the stop member to release the constraint on the button.

[0012] Specifically, the button is provided with a blocking protrusion, and the stop member is provided with two separate relief grooves and a blocking part located between the two relief grooves. In the locked state, the blocking protrusion faces downward and aligns with the blocking part, thus preventing the button from moving.

[0013] When unlocking with a key, the lock core drives the stop and the unlocking plate to slide forward, aligning the blocking protrusion with one of the clearance slots; when unlocking with a password, the unlocking plate and the stop slide in the opposite direction, aligning the blocking protrusion with the other clearance slot, releasing the button from its constraint.

[0014] Specifically, the password module also includes a code-switching plate that is slidably arranged at the bottom of the unlocking plate. The top of the code-switching plate is provided with multiple receiving slots. When the number wheel and the inner sleeve are turned to the correct password state, external force can push the code-switching plate to slide, which can cause the inner sleeve to fall into the receiving slot and disengage from the number wheel. After the code-switching plate is reset, the inner sleeve resets and engages with the number wheel.

[0015] Specifically, a retaining element is slidably provided at the stop element, and a retaining protrusion is provided on the code adjustment plate. When the password is incorrect, the retaining element abuts against the retaining protrusion to prevent the code adjustment plate from sliding; when the password is correct, the stop element drives the retaining element to release the restriction on the retaining protrusion.

[0016] Specifically, the electric drive module includes a lock-opening head and a motor for driving the lock-opening head to rotate. The lock-opening head is provided with a long strip-shaped V-shaped protrusion, and the transmission rod is provided with a long strip-shaped V-shaped groove. Under normal conditions, the V-shaped protrusion is embedded in the V-shaped groove. When the lock-opening head rotates, the V-shaped protrusion rotates out of the V-shaped groove, thereby driving the transmission rod to slide.

[0017] Specifically, the electric drive module also includes a battery module for powering the control module and the motor.

[0018] Specifically, the lock case includes an inner shell and an outer shell, both of which are elongated strips. The bottom and sides of the outer shell are enclosed while the top is open. The inner shell is inserted into the outer shell through the open. Multiple assembly cylinders are integrally formed into the inner shell. Two sets of locking hooks are located at the two ends of the outer shell, and the two ends of the outer shell are respectively provided with locking holes aligned with the front sides of the locking hooks. The transmission rod is located on the bottom outer side of the inner shell, and the bottom of the inner shell has a hole for the button to pass through and engage with the transmission rod.

[0019] Specifically, the inner shell is installed in the middle of the outer shell, and the control module and electric drive module are located at the two ends of the outer shell, respectively. Each end of the outer shell is provided with a removable cover.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This utility model discloses a multi-mode unlocking bag lock, integrating three unlocking methods: combination lock, key lock, and identity recognition lock. Users can choose different methods to unlock independently according to their needs, improving the user experience. Furthermore, both combination and key unlocking release the constraint on the button, allowing the transmission rod to slide and unlock when the button is pressed. An assembly cylinder is used to assemble the lock core, button, and identity recognition module, resulting in a compact structure that provides a framework for implementing multiple unlocking methods.

[0037] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0038] This embodiment describes a multi-mode unlocking bag lock, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device includes a lock housing 1, a combination module 2, a key module 3, an identification unlocking module 4, lock hooks 5, and a transmission rod 6. The lock housing 1 consists of an inner shell 11 and an outer shell 12, both of which are elongated. The bottom and sides of the outer shell 12 are enclosed, while the top is open. The inner shell 11 is inserted into the outer shell 12 through the open opening and is installed in the middle of the outer shell 12. Two sets of lock hooks 5 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the outer shell 12. Each end of the outer shell 12 has a lock hole aligned with the front side of the lock hooks 5, which allows the latch of the front cover of the bag to be inserted and locked.

[0039] The transmission rod 6 is slidably mounted on the bottom outer side of the inner shell 11 and linked with the lock hook 5. When unlocking, the transmission rod 6 is driven to slide, thereby causing the lock hook 5 to switch to the unlocked position. The linkage between the transmission rod 6 and the lock hook 5 is existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0040] The inner shell 11 is integrally formed with three spaced-apart assembly cylinders 13. A button 7 is slidably provided on the middle assembly cylinder 13. A stop member 8 is slidably provided below the button 7. In the locked state, the stop member 8 abuts against the button 7 to prevent it from being pressed. The bottom of the inner shell 11 has a hole for the button 7 to pass through and engage with the transmission rod 6.

[0041] In this embodiment, the key module 3 includes a lock core 31 disposed in another assembly cylinder 13. When the correct key is inserted into the lock core 31 and it is rotated, or when the correct password is entered into the password module 2, it can drive the stop member 8 to release the constraint on the button 7. Pressing the button 7 with external force can cause the transmission rod 6 to slide and unlock the lock hook 5. The bottom of the lock core 31 is provided with a semi-circular block, which rotates about 90° during unlocking to abut against the stop member 8.

[0042] In this embodiment, the identity recognition unlocking module 4 includes an identity recognition module 41 disposed in the third assembly cylinder 13, and a control module 42 and an electric drive module 43 disposed in the lock body. The control module 42 can control the electric drive module 43 to slide the transmission rod 6 to unlock the lock hook 5 by using the identity signal transmitted by the identity recognition module 41. The identity recognition module 41 can be fingerprint recognition, card recognition, facial recognition, etc. As long as the correct identity is recognized, the electric drive module 43 can be triggered to slide the transmission rod 6. The relationship between the identity recognition module 41, the control module 42, and the electric drive module 43 is prior art, and its principle will not be elaborated. The control module 42 and the electric drive module 43 are located at both ends of the outer casing 12, and both ends of the outer casing 12 are provided with slots for installing these modules. The slots are detachably covered with covers 14 for easy assembly and maintenance. When unlocking with a key, password, or identity recognition block, the transmission rod 6 slides in the same direction.

[0043] Specifically, the electric drive module 43 includes an unlocking head 431 and a motor 433 for driving the unlocking head 431 to rotate. The output shaft of the motor 433 is connected to the unlocking head 431 via a reduction mechanism. The unlocking head 431 is provided with a long strip-shaped V-shaped protrusion 432, and the transmission rod 6 is provided with a long strip-shaped V-shaped groove 61. Under normal conditions, the V-shaped protrusion 432 is embedded in the V-shaped groove 61. When the unlocking head 431 rotates, the V-shaped protrusion 432 rotates out of the V-shaped groove 61 (i.e., the V-shaped protrusion 432 is perpendicular to the V-shaped groove 61), thereby driving the transmission rod 6 to slide. Specifically, the electric drive module 43 also includes a battery module (only the battery slot 15 is shown in the figure) for supplying power to the control module 42 and the motor 433.

[0044] Specifically, there is an unlocking ramp 62 between the bottom of button 7 and the transmission rod 6, which abuts against each other. Pressing button 7 downwards will cause the transmission rod 6 to slide in a perpendicular direction.

[0045] Specifically, the password module 2 includes an unlocking plate 21, multiple number wheels 22, and multiple inner sleeves 23. The unlocking plate 21 and the stop member 8 are connected and slide together. The multiple number wheels 22 and the multiple inner sleeves 23 are rotatably fitted onto different assembly cylinders 13, and the multiple inner sleeves 23 are installed one-to-one on the bottom of the multiple number wheels 22, and are circumferentially engaged with each other and rotate together. The outer sides of the multiple inner sleeves 23 are respectively provided with unlocking grooves 231, and the unlocking plate 21 is provided with multiple unlocking protrusions 211 corresponding to each unlocking groove 231. Any unlocking groove 231 is offset from the unlocking protrusion 211, and the unlocking protrusion 211 cannot be inserted into the unlocking groove 231. When the number wheel 22 rotates to the correct password, all unlocking grooves 231 align with the corresponding unlocking protrusions 211, and the unlocking plate 21 can slide, thereby causing the stop member 8 to release the constraint on the button 7.

[0046] Specifically, the outer sides of button 7 are provided with opposing blocking protrusions 71, and the stop member 8 has two separated clearance grooves 81 and a blocking part 82 located between the two clearance grooves 81. In the locked state, the blocking protrusions 71 face downwards and align with the blocking part 82, thus preventing button 7 from moving. When unlocking with the key, the lock core 31 drives the stop member 8 and the unlocking plate 21 to slide forward, so that the blocking protrusion 71 aligns with one of the clearance grooves 81; when unlocking with the password, the unlocking plate 21 and the stop member 8 slide in the opposite direction, so that the blocking protrusion 71 aligns with the other clearance groove 81, releasing the constraint of button 7. Here, "forward" and "opposite" are relative and do not refer to a specific direction. Conventional unlocking plates 21 can only slide in one direction, but this invention cleverly allows the unlocking plate 21 to move in two opposite directions, so that both the password and the key can drive the stop member 8 to slide. In the locked state, a certain distance is maintained between the stop member 8 and the bottom of the lock core 31 so that when unlocking with the password, the stop member 8 moves toward the lock core 31. Figure 5 This is the state after unlocking with a password.

[0047] The lock housing 1 is equipped with a spring (not shown in the figure) that applies force to the unlocking plate 21 / stop member 8. When the password is correct, the spring automatically drives the stop member 8 to slide.

[0048] Specifically, the password module 2 also includes a code adjustment plate 24 slidably arranged at the bottom of the unlocking plate 21. The code adjustment plate 24 extends partially outside the lock case 1. The top of the code adjustment plate 24 is provided with multiple receiving slots 241. When the number wheel 22 and the inner sleeve 23 are turned to the correct password state, external force pushes the code adjustment plate 24 to slide, which can cause the inner sleeve 23 to fall into the receiving slots 241 and disengage from the number wheel 22. After the number wheel 22 is turned to the new password, the code adjustment plate 24 is reset, and the inner sleeve 23 is reset to cooperate with the number wheel 22.

[0049] Specifically, a retaining member 83 is slidably provided at the stop member 8, and the sliding direction of the retaining member 83 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the stop member 8, with the two engaging via an inclined surface. The code switching plate 24 is provided with a retaining protrusion 242. In the case of an incorrect password, the retaining member 83 abuts against the retaining protrusion 242 to prevent the code switching plate 24 from sliding, thus avoiding code switching when the password is incorrect. In the case of a correct password, the stop member 8 drives the retaining member 83 to release its restriction on the retaining protrusion 242.
