In other embodiments, the lock 3 can also be an electronic lock, with the stop 32 sliding synchronously relative to the housing 1 to reach an avoidance position or an obstruction position.

[0060] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 11 The housing 1 is provided with an operating port 13, and the lock 3 also includes a baffle plate 33 fixedly connected to the stop member 32. When the stop member 32 moves between the blocking position and the avoidance position, the stop member 32 drives the baffle plate 33 to move synchronously. When the stop member 32 is in the blocking position, the baffle plate 33 is located between the operating port 13 and the abutment part 23, and the baffle plate 33 blocks the operating port 13. When the stop member 32 is in the avoidance position, the baffle plate 33 opens the operating port 13, and the abutment part 23 is opposite to the operating port 13. This arrangement ensures that when the stop member 32 is in the blocking position, the baffle plate 33 prevents the user from contacting and damaging the abutment part 23, improving the locking reliability of the locking member 2. When the stop member 32 is in the avoidance position, the user can drive the abutment part 23 to move through the operating port 13, so that the locking member 2 moves to the unlock position, making operation convenient.

[0061] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The housing 1 is also provided with a groove 14. The groove 14 and the operating port 13 are spaced apart on both sides of the lock 3 along the second horizontal direction. Both the groove 14 and the operating port 13 can accommodate the user's fingers.

[0062] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, the support frame 21 is slidably connected to the housing 1, and the abutment portion 23 includes an abutment surface 231 and an operating surface 232 disposed opposite to each other. The abutment surface 231 is used to abut against the stop member 32 to prevent the locking member 2 from moving to the unlocked position. When an external force is applied to the operating surface 232, it can drive the locking member 2 to move to the unlocked position. The locking member 2 is configured to always have a tendency to move towards the locked position. This configuration further improves the reliability of the stop member 32 in preventing the locking member 2 from moving to the unlocked position.
