Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a safe, and more particularly to a portable key safe.

Background Art

[0002] A safe is for storing items that should be properly stored, such as valuables, gold, seals, certificates of title, keys, identity documents, etc., and can significantly reduce the risk of theft or loss.

[0003] Conventional safes are quite heavy, making them difficult to carry. In addition, by assembling a lock that is difficult to break or unlock, theft prevention can be effectively achieved.

[0004] The waterproof safe of Patent Document 1, the fireproof cabinet of Patent Document 2, the remote monitoring safe of Patent Document 3, etc. are safes with different functions, and in addition to the basic functions of theft prevention and proper storage, they can also meet different needs of users.

[0005] Real estate rental agents need to carry many keys because they show different properties to customers during a single outing. However, when carrying many keys, they may mix up or lose the keys. Conventional safes can properly store a large number of keys, but they are not lightweight enough to carry around. This has become an urgent problem to be solved.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the technical content of the present invention will be described in detail. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the present invention is a portable key vault including a box 10 and a locking device 20. The box 10 can be manufactured from polyvinyl chloride, and has a box body 11, a storage space 12, a handle 13, an operation panel 14, and two outer plates 15. The storage space 12 is formed inside the box body 11, and the handle 13 is provided above the box body 11. In one embodiment, the box body 11 is recessed inward to form a groove 111, and the handle 13 is provided across the groove 111. In such a configuration, by integrating the handle 13 with the contour of the box body 11, the visual beauty can be improved. The operation panel 14 is located on the front surface of the box body 11, and the two outer plates 15 are located on both sides of the operation panel 14 and are pivotally attached to the box body 11. Also, a torsion spring (not shown) may be provided between the two outer plates 15 and the box body 11. By the driving force of the elasticity of the torsion spring, the two outer plates 15 can be opened, and the storage space 12 is exposed.

[0012] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 together, the locking device 20 is provided on the operation panel 14. The locking device 20 has a plurality of input keys 21, a first locking element 22, a second locking element 23, and an opening knob 24. The first locking element 22 and the second locking element 23 are respectively located on both sides of the operation panel 14 and lock the outer plates 15 respectively.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first locking element 22 has a pull rod head 221, two pull rods 222, two fasteners 223, and two return springs 224, the outer panel 15 corresponding to the first locking element 22 has two buckles 151, the two buckles 151 are engaged with the two fasteners 223, the door-opening knob 24, when rotating, moves the pull rod head 221 to move outward, respectively, and takes the two pull rods 222 with it to move toward the pull rod head 221, that is, the lower pull rod 222 slides upward, and the upper pull rod 222 slides downward. In addition, when the two pull rods 222 slide upward or downward, respectively, they move the two fasteners 223 simultaneously in conjunction with each other, and the two fasteners 223 are disengaged from the two buckles 151 to unlock. In addition, the two pull rods 222 can slide back again through the return springs 224, so that the two fasteners 223 tighten and lock the two buckles 151 again. Thus, when the pull rod head 221 moves outward, it causes the two pull rods 222 to slide upward or downward in conjunction with each other, and the two pull rods 222 move the two fasteners 223 together, and when the two fasteners 223 move, the two buckles 151 are disengaged from the two fasteners 223 and unlocked, at which time the outer panel 15 is opened by the elastic force of the torsion springs, exposing the receiving space 12. Similarly, the second locking element 23 has a pull rod head 231, two pull rods 232, two fasteners 233, and two return springs 234, and has the same structure and operation.

[0014] As described above, the door opening knob 24 can rotate to interlock and unlock the first lock element 22 and the second lock element 23. To meet the anti-theft needs, in terms of configuration, a plurality of input keys 21 are for inputting a password to control whether the door opening knob 24 can rotate. In practice, as shown in FIG. 2, a solenoid valve 25 is driven to control whether the door opening knob 24 can rotate. Specifically, the solenoid valve 25 has a valve rod 251. The valve rod 251 always penetrates and fixes the door opening knob 24 to limit the door opening knob 24. At this time, the door opening knob 24 cannot rotate. However, when the password is correctly input, within a certain period, for example, 3 seconds, the valve rod 251 of the solenoid valve 25 is displaced once so as not to limit the position of the door opening knob 24. Thereby, the door opening knob 24 can rotate to unlock the first lock element 22 and the second lock element 23.

[0015] Referring to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 together, when actually operating, the door opening knob 24 is always located at the closed position (see FIG. 1) and can rotate to the first unlocking position (see FIG. 3) and the second unlocking position (see FIG. 4). When the door opening knob 24 rotates to the first unlocking position, the locking device 20 unlocks the first lock element 22 and opens the corresponding outer plate 15 (see FIG. 3). When the door opening knob 24 rotates to the second unlocking position, the locking device 20 unlocks the second lock element 23 and opens the corresponding outer plate 15 on the other side (see FIG. 4).

[0016] Referring to FIG. 5 again, when it is necessary to open both outer plates 15 together (see FIG. 5), if the door opening knob 24 is rotated sequentially to the first unlocking position and the second unlocking position, the locking device 20 unlocks the first lock element 22 and the second lock element 23 and opens the two outer plates 15. In one embodiment, the first unlocking position is a position where the door opening knob 24 rotates 70 degrees to 80 degrees clockwise, and the second unlocking position is a position where the door opening knob 24 rotates 70 degrees to 80 degrees counterclockwise.

[0017] Referring to FIG. 3, in one embodiment, the box 10 further has a partition plate 16. The partition plate 16 divides the accommodation space 12, and both sides of the partition plate 16 face two outer plates 15 respectively. When in use, the present invention further includes a plurality of key holding plates 30, and the plurality of key holding plates 30 are respectively fixed on the partition plate 16 and the two outer plates 15. And each key holding plate 30 has a hook 31. Preferably, the plurality of key holding plates 30 are arranged in an array on the partition plate 16 and the two outer plates 15. Thereby, a plurality of keys (not shown) can be hung on the plurality of key holding plates 30.

[0018] As can be seen from the above, the present invention has the following features. 1. By configuring a handle on the box body, it can be worn and used, meeting the need to carry and use it. 2. By rotating the opening knob to different unlocking positions to unlock a specific outer plate, the key to be used can be taken out. 3. The box can be manufactured from polyvinyl chloride, is lightweight, reduces the burden on the carrier, and is easy to wear and use. 4. The locking device is configured as a password lock, and there is no problem that the key cannot be opened if lost, so it is even easier to use.
