Description

Field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a chain lock, and more particularly to a lock in which the locking operation can be performed without using a key and the locking angle of the chain can be adjusted at will. State of the art

[0002] Ordinary chain locks are mainly used to connect objects to fixed objects, e.g., connecting a bicycle to a post. In conventional chain lock structures, the two ends of a chain are connected to a lock that can be locked together. The lock is a combination lock or a padlock, which ensures that connected objects cannot be moved, thus preventing them from being stolen. In the conventional chain lock, the design provides for a separate arrangement of the lock and chain. The lock can easily be lost. Therefore, there is a chain lock structure in which the lock is locked to one end of the chain and is formed integrally with it. It is applied to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The conventional chain lock is mainly provided with a lock body 10, wherein the lock body 10 is provided with a first slot 100 and a second slot 101, and a compression spring 11 and a lock cylinder 12 are arranged in the lock body 10, and a plug rod 13 is arranged below and combined with the lock cylinder 12, and the lower end of the plug rod 13 can be inserted through the second slot 101 of the lock body 10, and one end of the chain 14 is fixed in the first slot 100 of the lock body 10 by a fixing bolt, and the plug rod 13 is inserted through the other end of the chain 14 for positioning and inserted into the second slot 101 of the lock body 10 for locking. In this way, objects can be connected easily and conveniently, thereby achieving an anti-theft function.Although the conventional chain lock can prevent the lock body 10 and the chain 14 from coming loose and getting lost, the opening positions of the first slot 100 and the second slot 101 on the lock body 10 are fixed (arranged in opposite directions) and cannot be adjusted. Consequently, it is not easy to lock the chain 14 when space is limited during connection. A key is required to rotate the lock cylinder 12 when opening and closing the lock. Therefore, the usability is still insufficient.

[0003] From CN 1 10 005 277 A, a generic chain lock is known, which consists of a lock body, a rotating base, a compression spring, a plug-in rod, a locking cylinder, and a chain, wherein the lock body is provided with a receiving recess.

The locking cylinder is arranged in the receiving chamber of the plug-in rod, and the plug-in rod is arranged in the receiving recess of the lock body. A locking lever is arranged below the locking cylinder in the locking lever recess of the plug-in rod. One end of the chain is fastened by means of the plug-in rod in a first insertion slot of the lock body. The rotating base is arranged below the lock body.A mounting seat is arranged in the rotating base, with a recess for inserting the locking bar provided in the mounting seat, and a second slot for inserting the other end of the chain on the wall surface of the rotating base. Thus, the rotating base is arranged below the lock body, and the angle of the rotating base can be adjusted as desired, making locking operation more convenient.

[0004] From CN 1 11 502 435 A a chain lock is known which primarily consists of an upper body, a lower body, a locking seat, a lower fastening seat, a plug-in rod, a compression spring, a locking cylinder, a rotating body, a torsion spring, a locking lever, an upper fastening seat and a chain, wherein the upper body and the lower body are rotatably locked together and the locking seat is arranged in the lower body and the lower fastening seat is arranged below the lower body and the locking cylinder, the rotating body and the locking lever are combined with each other and the torsion spring is arranged between the locking cylinder and the rotating body and the locking cylinder, the rotating body,The torsion spring and the locking lever are arranged together in the plug-in rod, and the compression spring surrounds the plug-in rod. The plug-in rod and the compression spring are arranged together in the upper body. The upper fastening seat is arranged above the upper body. One end of the chain is fixed by means of the plug-in rod in the first slot of the upper body, and the other end of the chain is inserted into the second slot of the lower body. In this way, the locking operation can be performed without the use of a key, and to perform the unlocking operation, only the lock cylinder needs to be turned using a key, which makes the locking operation more convenient.

Fig. 8), then the upper mounting seat 7 is covered by the dust cover 74. In this way, the locking operation can be performed without using a key, which is very convenient for locking. In the present invention, one chain end 80 is directly fixed in the first slot 24 of the lock body 2 by means of the plug rod 5, whereby the lateral volume of the lock body 2 can be reduced, and further, the other chain end 81 can be stably locked in the second slot 31 of the rotary base 3 by engaging and positioning the locking steel balls 512 and by inserting and engaging the plug rod 5 (see FIG. Fig. 7 and Fig. 8), thereby achieving an excellent anti-theft function. In the present invention, the rotating base 3 is designed to be adjustable at any angle and rotated at the bottom of the lock body 2. The user can adjust the relative locking angles between the second slot 31 of the rotating base 3 and the first slot 24 of the lock body 2 according to the space of the object to be connected (see FIG. Fig. 9 and Fig. 10) to prevent the locking operation from being completed due to space constraints when locking an object to be connected. Covering it with the dust cover 74 prevents dirt and water from entering the key insertion hole 63. The invention is therefore more convenient to use.

[0012] When unlocking, only the key needs to be inserted into the key insertion hole 63 of the lock cylinder 6, whereby the rotation axis 60 of the lock cylinder 6 is driven to rotate by the key and the rotating body 65 and the locking lever 67 move with the rotation axis 60 of the lock cylinder 6, whereby the torsion spring 66 is rotated and thus has a torsional force and the slot 672 of the locking lever 67 is again aligned with the position of the second steel ball holes 511 of the plug rod 5.Since the locking steel balls 512 engaged in the locking ring groove 351 of the engagement seat 35 are no longer in contact with the outer wall of the locking lever 67 and are thus no longer held by it, they can be moved inward toward the second steel ball holes 511 of the plug rod 5 and toward the inside of the slot 672 of the locking lever 67 and are no longer engaged in the locking ring groove 351 of the engagement seat 35, wherein the arcuate groove 651 of the rotary body 65 is again aligned with the position of the first steel ball hole 504 of the plug rod 5, whereby the positioning steel ball 505 can be moved toward the inside of the arcuate groove 651 and is no longer engaged in the positioning slot 22 of the lock body 2. At the same time, the compression spring 52 arranged in the receiving recess 20 of the lock body 2 springs elastically in order to press the plug rod 5 upwards (cf. . Fig.5), whereby the upper portion of the locking seat portion 50 protrudes outward from the upper fastening seat 7, and the plug rod 5 is pushed and moved upward by the compression spring 52 and released from the rotary base 3, the plug recess 350 of the locking seat 35, and the other chain end 81, so that the other chain end 81 can be removed from the second slot 31 of the rotary base 3. Thus, the unlocking operation is completed. In locking, the use of the present invention is not limited by the size of the space, making the connection of objects more convenient. The invention can be used to connect and position any object and provides an excellent anti-theft function.

[0013] In summary, it can be stated that the present invention actually achieves the stated objective and the desired advantageous effects, and the present invention is superior to the conventional technology. The above description represents only preferred embodiments of the invention and is not intended to limit the claims. All equivalent changes and modifications that can be made by one skilled in the art in accordance with the description and drawings of the invention are within the scope of the present invention.
