However, the invention is not limited to the description of this embodiment and its illustration in the accompanying drawings.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 6, the present invention relates to a mortise lock for electronic devices provided with a clearing-locking mechanism. The mortise lock comprises a main body 10, a lock cylinder 20, a feed shaft 30, a clear lock mechanism 40 and a sensor module 50. the main body 10 has a closure cap 11 and a receiving sleeve 12, wherein the closure cap 11 and the receiving sleeve 12 are arranged one behind the other and are assembled to each other. The lock cylinder 20 is mounted inside the receiving sleeve 12 and its lock pin 21 projects from the rear end of the receiving sleeve 12 in the unlocked normal state. The feed shaft 30 is coupled to the locking pin 21 in the receiving sleeve 12 in front of the locking cylinder 20, such that the feed shaft 30 is pulled rearward by the locking pin 21 when the locking cylinder 20 is unlocked and is completely inserted into the main body 10 or is pressed by the locking pin 21 when the locking cylinder 20 is locked, such that a tip 31 on the feed shaft 30 protrudes beyond a through opening 111 in the middle of the closure cap 11, wherein a first receptacle 121 is arranged at the rear end of the receiving sleeve 12 and a second receptacle 211 is arranged at one side of the circumferential edge of the locking pin 21. The clean shooting mechanism 40 has two latching hooks 41 which are rotatably mounted in the closure cap 11 and are pushed out of the closure cap 11 via the through-opening 111, wherein the two latching hooks 41 are each equipped with an elastic element (not shown), so that the two latching hooks 41 can be extended and retracted under the action of the elastic elements, wherein the two latching hooks 41 are pushed apart by the tip 31 so that the feed shaft 30 can be pushed freely between the two latching hooks 41 in order to maintain the clean shooting mechanism 40 in a spread state so that the mortise lock is obtained in the locked state. The sensor module 50 includes a first sensor element 51 and a second sensor element 52, the first and second sensor elements 51, 52 being respectively installed in the first and second receptacles 121, 211, a signal transmitter 53 being connected to the first sensor element 51, pressing upon locking the lock pin 21 causing the second sensor element 52 to approach the first sensor element 51 so that the first and second sensor elements 51, 52 detect each other, the detected result being transmitted by the signal transmitter 53 to a mobile communication device 70 of the user via a network. In this way, the user can know at any time whether the lock cylinder 20 is broken up by force even at a location remote from the electronic device 60, even if he temporarily leaves his electronic device 60. The mortise lock thus ensures protection against theft.According to the invention, a rotating ring 13 is arranged on the main body 10, via which ring the main body 10 is connected to a securing cable 14.According to the invention, the closure cap 11 is additionally connected at its front end to a shock-resistant ring 15.According to the invention, the locking cylinder 20 is a locking cylinder with numbers.According to the invention, a cut side 411 is formed on the outer edge of the respective latching hook 41, which serves for yielding, so that the latching hooks 41 can be used in the case of slots 61 in various shapes.According to the invention, the elastic element is an O-ring, with which the two latching hooks 41 are simultaneously held together.According to the invention, the first sensor element 51 is a reed switch and the second sensor element 52 is a magnet.According to the invention, the mobile communication device 70 is a smartphone.For inserting the mortise lock according to the invention, the end with the latching hooks 41 is inserted into the slot 61 on the electronic device 60 (see FIG. 3 ). When locking the lock cylinder 20, the lock pin 21 is pressed, whereby the tip 31 of the feed shaft 30 is pushed by the lock pin 21 such that the tip 31 protrudes beyond a through hole 111 in the center of the closure cap 11. When the tip 31 protrudes, the two latching hooks 41 are simultaneously pushed apart from the feed shaft 30 (see FIG. 4 ), so that the two latching hooks 41 latch into the slot 61 (see FIG. 5 ), so that the electronic device 60 is protected with the locked mortise lock. By causing the lock pin 21 to make the second sensor element 52 approach the first sensor element 51, the user can know any decision on the lock state of the mortise lock at all times. If the user leaves his electronic device 60 in the meantime and the locking cylinder 20 is broken open by an unauthorized person with force or destroyed in such a way that the locking pin 21 retracts to the rear, the connection of the first sensor element 51 to the second sensor element 52 is interrupted, so that the first sensor element 51 can no longer detect the second sensor element 52. In this case, the signal transmitter 52 will immediately transmit a warning message to the user's mobile communication device 70 (see FIG. 6 ) to allow the user to respond accordingly thereto. In this way, the mortise lock according to the invention ensures complete protection for electronic devices.The electronic equipment mortise lock provided with a clearing lock mechanism according to the invention is characterized by the following. By locking the mortise lock according to the invention, electronic devices 30 such as laptops and tablets can be protected from rapid theft and theft of the opportunity. Another advantage is that the mortise lock is suitable for electronic devices 60 having different slots 61 and is thus widely used. Further, the operation of the electronic device 60 linked by the locking of the mortise lock according to the invention is not disturbed, and the mortise lock according to the invention can be easily locked and unlocked, which is user-friendly. In the sensor module 50, the first and second sensor elements 51, 52 detect each other as they approach each other. The connection of the first and second sensor elements 51, 52 is disconnected when the first and second sensor elements 51, 52 move away from each other. The detected result is transmitted from the signal transmitter 53 to the user via a network, so that the user always knows about the lock state of the mortise lock even if it is remote from his electronic device 60 connected to an object via the mortise lock. Thus, the electronic device 60 is fully protected.Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment, it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to this exemplary embodiment, but rather that modifications are possible in such a way that individual features can be omitted or other combinations of features can be realized, as long as the scope of protection of the appended claims is not left. The disclosure of the present invention includes all combinations of the individual features presented.List of reference characters10 Main body 11 Closure cover 111 Through-opening 12 Receiving sleeve 121 First receptacle 13 Rotating ring 14 Securing cable 15 Shock-proof ring 20 Locking cylinder 21 Locking pin 211 Second receptacle 30 Feed shaft 31 Tip 40 Snap closure 41 Locking hook 411 Cut side 50 Sensor module 51 First sensor element 52 Second sensor element 53 Signal transmitter 60 Electronic device 61 Slot 70 Mobile communication device
