Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, specifically to a compact snap lock that is easy to position. Background Technology

[0002] Previously, the inventors developed a connecting latch as disclosed in Chinese patent document CN108302159B. This latch includes a male and a female latch, each with a tail rail for mounting a strap or rope. The male latch includes a male latch body and a tongue with a locking hook. The female latch includes a base plate and a cover plate forming a housing, a lock body preventing the tongue from disengaging from the female latch, and a spring pusher that reverses the movement of the tongue's front end to drive it backward. The spring pusher, located within the female latch body, constantly pushes and presses against the front end of the male latch's tongue inserted into the female latch. After the lock body in the female latch releases the locking hook from the tongue, the spring pusher ejects the tongue, automatically disengaging the latch. This eliminates the need for manual or other external force to pull out the male latch, making it convenient and more user-friendly.

[0003] Due to their small size, existing latch locks generally don't have the capacity to accommodate additional functions. However, as consumer demands increase, single-function latch locks can no longer meet the evolving needs of consumers. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] This embodiment features a compact snap lock that is easy to position, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a main lock body 1 and a buckle 6. The main lock body 1 includes a lock shell 2, a locking mechanism 3 and a button 4. The lock shell 2 has two lock holes 21 that communicate with its inner cavity and extend to the end face.

[0023] Button 4 includes a pressing part 41 and two limiting arms 42. The two limiting arms 42 are integrally formed on opposite sides of the pressing part 41 and correspond to the two key holes 21. A spring is provided in the lock body to apply an upward pushing force to button 4 so that button 4 is elastically and floatingly mounted on the lock shell 2. The pressing part 41 protrudes from the top of the lock shell 2 for manual pressing.

[0024] The buckle 6 includes a base body 61 and two buckle arms 615 integrally injection molded at the end of the base body 61. The buckle arms 615 are inserted into the lock hole 21 and held by the limiting arm 42, while the locking mechanism 3 prevents the button 4 from being pressed, thus achieving locking. When unlocking, the locking mechanism 3 releases the restriction on the button 4, and when the button 4 is pressed by external force, the limiting arm 42 releases the restriction on the buckle arms 615.

[0025] In this embodiment, the base body 61 is integrally injection molded with a receiving cavity 611. The bottom of the base body 61 is provided with a cover 62 that seals the receiving cavity 611. A tracker (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the receiving cavity 611. The tracker is an existing purchased part that is mechanically fixed in the receiving cavity 611. It can be connected to an external terminal and can track and locate the position of the lock. Its principle will not be elaborated here.

[0026] Specifically, the cavity 611 is provided with a positioning groove 612 for the tracker to be fitted and positioned. The cavity 611 is also provided with a stud hole 613. The cover 62 is fitted with a screw through the stud hole 613, thereby fixing the cover 62 to the base body 61.

[0027] Specifically, the tracker is equipped with a USB connector (not shown in the figure), and the cover 62 has a mounting hole 621 for exposing the port of the USB connector.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bottom of the latch arm 615 is provided with a slot 616, which is engaged with the limiting arm 42. After the button 4 is pressed, the limiting arm 42 disengages from the slot 616, allowing the latch arm 615 to be removed. Specifically, the lock housing 2 is provided with two spring blocks 5 corresponding to the two lock holes 21. After the latch arm 615 is released from its limiting position, the spring blocks 5 eject the latch arm 615 out of the lock housing 2.

[0029] Specifically, the locking mechanism 3 includes a combination key assembly 31 and a lock cylinder assembly 32. The lock cylinder assembly 32 includes a lock core 321 mounted on the pressing part 41 and a stop block 322 fixed to the bottom of the lock core 321. The lock core 321 can only rotate relative to the pressing part 41 after the correct key is inserted. The combination key assembly 31 includes a center rod 311, multiple number wheels 312, and multiple inner sleeves 313. The multiple inner sleeves 313 are coaxially mounted inside the multiple number wheels 312, and the inner sleeves 313 rotate together with the corresponding number wheels 312. The center rod 311 coaxially passes through the multiple inner sleeves 313 and abuts against the stop block 322. When the combination key is incorrect, the axial movement of the center rod 311 is restricted by the inner sleeves 313. When the combination key is correct, the center rod 311 can move axially. In the locked state, the center rod 311 abuts against the stop block 322, so the button 4 cannot be pressed. When unlocking with a key, the lock cylinder 321 and the stop block 322 are rotated, causing the stop block 322 to be misaligned with the center rod 311, allowing button 4 to be pressed. When unlocking with a combination, the center rod 311 can move axially, allowing button 4 to be pressed.

[0030] Specifically, the lock housing 2 has a guide groove 22 at the periphery of the corresponding lock hole 21, and the base body 61 has a guide protrusion 614 at the periphery of the end. When the main lock body 1 and the buckle seat 6 are inserted, the guide protrusion 614 is embedded in the guide groove 22. This facilitates the guide insertion of the lock body and the buckle seat 6.
