Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a plastic seal, and more particularly to a high-security plastic seal with a lock core having an elastic arm locking tooth structure. Background Technology
[0002] The plastic seal is made of ABS or PP, and the lock body uses a limiting structure, relying on the inherent elasticity of the plastic to lock in place. Plastic seals are mainly used in containers, trucks, vans, and other similar devices to seal packages and prevent theft. Existing plastic seals generally consist of a lock body and a lock cylinder. One side of the lock body is a marking surface, which can be customized with laser engraving, markings, codes, barcodes, colors, and other information. The lock body is roughly round or square, and contains a lock cylinder with a cover plate to secure it. Existing plastic seals mainly suffer from three types of technical defects: 1. One-piece plastic seal Although it is easy to recycle, it relies on the elastic locking of the locking teeth, which does not adequately shield the locking part; therefore, it is prone to elastic failure and can be illegally unlocked or forcibly damaged, resulting in insufficient security.
[0003] 2. Metal lock cylinder composite seal Due to differences in materials, manual disassembly and separation are required, resulting in low recycling efficiency. This greatly hinders the effective recycling and reuse of plastic and metal parts, reducing overall environmental benefits.
[0004] 3. Traditional split plastic lock cylinder The use of an axial or angled elastic structure for the locking rod results in physical limitations in locking and anti-pry capabilities, leading to insufficient safety performance. Utility Model Content
