[0015] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

[0016] The embodiments described with reference to the drawings are illustrative and are intended to be used to interpret the present invention, and should not be understood as limiting the present invention. In describing the present invention, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," etc. are orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are intended only to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the illustrated devices or elements necessarily have a specific orientation or are constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0017] Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," etc. are for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature qualified as "first" or "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the feature. In the description of the present invention, unless explicitly and specifically limited, "some," "plurality," etc. mean two or more than two.

[0018] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "attached," "coupled," "connected," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and may refer to, for example, a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. They may be mechanical or electrical connections. They may be direct connections, indirect connections via an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two elements.

[0019] Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention depending on the specific circumstances.

[0020] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first feature and the second feature being in direct contact with each other, or may include the first feature and the second feature being in contact with each other without being in direct contact with each other, but via another feature therebetween.

[0021] Furthermore, a first feature being "superior," "above," or "on" a second feature includes the first feature being directly above and diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," or "below" a second feature includes the first feature being directly below and diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0022] In consideration of the technical problems described in the background art, there is provided a removable movable locking device, as shown in Figures 1-2, comprising: a housing 1 for mounting and supporting a member; a locking assembly 2 installed within the housing 1, at least a portion of which is disposed outside the housing 1 and engages with the exterior; and a rotating member 3 movably connected to the housing 1, extending at least partially to the locking assembly 2, and rotating to drive at least a portion of the locking assembly 2 to protrude from or retract into the housing 1.

[0023] The removable movable locking device is mainly composed of a housing 1, a locking assembly 2, and a rotating member 3, and in use, the locking assembly 2 is driven by rotating the rotating member 3, allowing the locking device on the locking assembly 2 to extend or retract, thereby engaging or disengaging with an external member.

[0024] In specific use, by rotating the rotating member 3, the locking assembly 2 causes the locking device on the locking assembly 2 to retract into the housing 1 due to the action of the rotating member 3, thereby removing the locking device from the external member, and by rotating and resetting the rotating member 3, the locking assembly 2 causes the locking device of the locking assembly 2 to protrude outside the housing 1 and engage with the external member due to the action of the rotating member 3.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 4, a rotary shaft 4 is connected to each side of the rotary member 3, and the rotary member 3 is connected to the housing 1 via the rotary shaft 4.

[0026] Rotating shafts 4 are connected to both sides of the rotating member 3, and the rotating shafts 4 can be damped to make the rotation process more orderly. The rotating member 3 has a U-shaped structure, and is hinged to the housing 1 via the rotating shafts 4.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 2-3, the locking assembly 2 includes a left locking assembly 5 mounted on the left side inside the housing 1 and a right locking assembly 6 mounted on the right side inside the housing 1.

[0028] In order to improve the engagement force of the locking device, the locking assembly 2 may be one or two, and in this embodiment, there are two, namely, a left locking assembly 5 and a right locking assembly 6, and the left locking assembly 5 and the right locking assembly 6 are respectively installed in the housing 1, and at the same time, the rotating member 3 extends to the positions of the left locking assembly 5 and the right locking assembly 6, respectively, so that by the rotation action of the rotating member 3, the locking positions on the left locking assembly 5 and the right locking assembly 6 can be driven to protrude from or retract into the housing 1, respectively.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3, the left locking assembly 5 includes a left locking bracket 7, a left locking member 8 engaged with the left locking bracket 7, and a first elastic member 9 installed between the left locking member 8 and the left locking bracket 7, and a portion of the left locking member 8 is disposed outside the housing 1 via the first elastic member 9.

[0030] The above is a feasible technical solution for the left locking assembly 5, in which the left locking bracket 7 and the left locking member 8 are engaged with each other. When a pair of locking posts engaged with the left locking bracket 7 is installed on the left locking member 8, the left locking member 8 maintains its elastic state through the installed first elastic member 9. The first elastic member 9 may be a spring type. Under the action of the rotating member 3, the left locking member 8 is forced to compress the first elastic member 9, thereby changing the position of the left locking member 8, so that the locking position on the left locking member 8 can protrude from or retract into the housing 1.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, the right locking assembly 6 includes a right locking bracket 10, a right locking member 11 engaged on the right locking bracket 10, and a second elastic member 12 installed between the right locking member 11 and the right locking bracket 10, and a portion of the right locking member 11 is disposed outside the housing 1 via the second elastic member 12.

[0032] The structure of the right locking assembly 6 is the same as that of the left locking assembly 5, and since the same structure is adopted, when in use, by driving the rotating member 3, the right locking member 11 also compresses the second elastic member 12, and the locking position on the right locking member 11 protrudes from or retracts into the housing 1.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 4, a first wedge block 13 and a second wedge block 14 are provided on both sides of the rotating member 3, respectively, the left locking bracket 7 is provided with a left groove 15 that matches the first wedge block 13, and the right locking bracket 10 is provided with a right groove 16 that matches the second wedge block 14, and the first wedge block 13 and the second wedge block 14 are disposed in the left groove 15 and the right groove 16, respectively.

[0034] In practice, the above provides a driving connection between the rotating member 3 and the left and right locking assemblies 5 and 6. Specifically, a first wedge block 13 and a second wedge block 14 are installed on the rotating member 3, and at the same time, slots are opened in the housing 1 to allow the first wedge block 13 and the second wedge block 14 to pass through. A left groove 15 and a right groove 16 are designed on the left locking bracket 7 and the right locking bracket 10, respectively.

[0035] In use, the first wedge block 13 is placed on the left groove 15, and when the rotating member 3 rotates, the first wedge block 13 and the second wedge block 14 slide into the left groove 15 and the right groove 16, respectively, and since the left groove 15 and the right groove 16 are designed with a certain inclination, they push out the left locking member 8 and the right locking member 11, thereby allowing the locking positions on the left locking member 8 and the right locking member 11 to protrude from or retract into the housing 1.

[0036] At the same time, when the rotating member 3 is rotated to the 90° position, the locking positions of the left locking member 8 and the right locking member 11 are set so that they are completely retracted into the housing 1.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 5-6, the left locking bracket 7 is provided with a first support portion 17 for supporting the rotating shaft 4, and the right locking bracket 10 is provided with a second support portion 18 for supporting the rotating shaft 4.

[0038] The first support portion 17 and the second support portion 18 each support the rotating shaft 4, thereby preventing the rotating shaft 4 from loosening inward.

[0039] A protruding left guide shaft 19 is provided on the side surface of the left locking member 8, a left guide hole 20 aligned with the left guide shaft 19 is provided in the left locking bracket 7, a protruding right guide shaft 21 is provided on the side surface of the right locking member 11, and a right guide hole 22 aligned with the right guide shaft 21 is provided in the right locking bracket 10.

[0040] In order to ensure the stability of the movement of the rotating member 3 when compressing the left locking member 8 and the right locking member 11, a left guide shaft 19 and a right guide shaft 21 are added, which can move along the left guide hole 20 and the right guide hole 22 during the protruding or retracting process.

[0041] The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention, and any modifications, equivalent changes, and improvements made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall all fall within the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
