[0038] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure. In the description of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or meta-fixture referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0039] The hook locking mechanism of the disclosed embodiment includes a hook member 1, which is used to hook objects. The hook member 1 is provided with a first hole 11, which passes through the hook member 1 along the width direction of the hook member (left and right direction in Figure 1). When in use, the first hole 11 can be passed through by the lock 5, so that the hook member 1 can be locked in a set position by the lock 5. For example, it can be locked and fixed to a railing, a column, etc., thereby facilitating the locking and fixing of the hook locking mechanism.

[0040] As shown in Figure 1, the hook locking mechanism can also include a lock hole component 2. When the lock hole component 2 is included, the hook locking mechanism has an assembled state. The assembled state is the state of the hook locking mechanism as a whole when the mobility scooter is locked, that is, the state after the hook component 1 and the lock hole component 2 are assembled and combined.

[0041] The hook member 1 can be made of metal, plastic or other materials. The hook member 1 is shaped like a hook. When in use, some personal belongings can be hooked on the hook member 1, thereby making it convenient to carry the items.

[0042] A slot 13 is also provided on the hook member 1, and the extension direction of the first hole 11 and the depth direction of the slot 13 intersect and are connected. For example, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first hole 11 can pass through the hook member 1 along the left and right direction, and the depth direction of the slot 13 can be the front and back direction, and the slot opening of the slot 13 can be located on the rear side of the hook member 1.

[0043] The locking member 2 is provided with a second hole 21 extending through the locking member 2. For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the shape of the locking member 2 matches the shape of the slot 13, and the second hole 21 can extend through the locking member 2 in the left-right direction. In the assembled state, at least a portion of the locking member 2 can be removably assembled within the slot 13. For example, the entire locking member 2 can be inserted into the slot 13 from the notch of the slot 13, and the locking member 2 can be mounted and fixed to the hook member 1 by means of a snap connection, a screw connection, or the like.

[0044] When the locking member 2 is assembled in the slot 13 of the hook member 1, as shown in Figure 1, the first hole 11 on the hook member 1 and the second hole 21 on the locking member 2 can communicate in the left-right direction. When in use, the first hole 11 and the second hole 21 can be used to pass the lock 5, so that the hook locking mechanism integrates the function of locking the mobility scooter.

[0045] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the hook component 1, the hook component 1 of this embodiment is installed and fixed by fasteners 4 such as screws and bolts, and after being installed and fixed by the fasteners 4, the end of the fastener 4 can be located in the slot 13. When the locking hole component 2 is assembled in the slot 13, the locking hole component 2 can cover the end of the fastener 4, thereby hiding the fastener 4.

[0046] The hook locking mechanism of the disclosed embodiment has the functions of both hooking items and locking the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the hook member 1 can be used to hook items, making it convenient to carry items. When the vehicle needs to be locked, the lock 5 can be passed through the first hole 11 and the second hole 21 and locked with an external member, which can be a fence, a foundation pile, etc., improving the convenience of use.

[0047] Secondly, the way the hook member 1 is fixed by the fastener 4 facilitates installation and removal of the hook member 1, thereby facilitating maintenance of the hook member 1 and allowing users to choose the appropriate type of hook member 1 according to their preferences. When locking the vehicle, the keyhole member 2 can cover the fastener 4, and thanks to the locking device 5, the keyhole member 2 and the hook member 1 cannot be disassembled, that is, the keyhole member 2 cannot escape from the slot 13 of the hook member 1, thereby preventing the fastener 4 from being easily unscrewed and improving the overall anti-theft performance.

[0048] In some embodiments, the hook member 1 is provided with a mounting hole for the fastener 4 to pass through, the mounting hole is connected to the slot 13, and the opening of the mounting hole is located on the slot wall of the slot 13. In the assembled state, the locking member 2 blocks the opening of the mounting hole.

[0049] For example, the hook member 1 may be provided with two mounting holes, both of which may be located on the front side of the hook member 1 and spaced apart in the vertical direction. The rear end of each mounting hole communicates with the slot 13, and the rear end opening of each mounting hole is located on the bottom wall of the slot 13. When the locking member 2 is engaged with the slot 13, the locking member 2 can cover the rear end opening of each mounting hole, thereby facilitating the concealment of the fastener 4.

[0050] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the hook member 1 may also be provided with three, four, five, or other number of mounting holes, so as to ensure the structural stability of the fixed hook member 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, the locking member 2 is provided with an avoidance groove 23. In the assembled state, the avoidance groove 23 is arranged opposite to the opening of the mounting hole, and the avoidance groove 23 is used for part of the fastener 4 to be embedded to avoid the interference between the locking member 2 and the fastener 4.

[0052] For example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the avoidance groove 23 can be provided on the front side of the keyhole member 2, and the number of the avoidance grooves 23 can be the same as the number of fasteners 4 or mounting holes. When the keyhole member 2 is fixed in the slot 13 of the hook member 1, each avoidance groove 23 can correspond to each fastener 4 one-to-one in the front-to-back direction, and the end of each fastener 4 can be fitted in the avoidance groove 23, thereby playing the role of avoiding the fastener 4, avoiding the situation where the fastener 4 easily touches and interferes with the keyhole member 2 when the keyhole member 2 is installed.

[0053] In some embodiments, the hook member 1 is provided with a hook groove 12 , which is connected to the slot 13 and is used to hook objects. In the assembled state, the lock hole member 2 blocks the port where the hook groove 12 is connected to the slot 13 .

[0054] For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the hook groove 12 can be provided at the top of the hook member 1, and the opening of the hook groove 12 is arranged upward, and the first hole 11 can be located below the hook groove 12, so as to have an avoidance effect, that is, it is possible to avoid the situation where the lock is easily blocked by the hook groove 12 after the lock is installed in the first hole 11 when the first hole 11 and the hook groove 12 are arranged in other orientations, thereby avoiding the problem of easy interference between the hook groove 12 and the first hole 11 during use, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0055] The hook groove 12 can be generally a U-shaped groove. When in use, the article can be hooked in the hook groove 12, thereby facilitating the hooking of the article. The slot 13 can be located below the hook groove 12, and the top of the slot 13 can be connected to the hook groove 12.

[0056] When the locking member 2 is inserted into the slot 13, the locking member 2 will fill the slot 13, and the end of the hook slot 12 that is in communication with the slot 13 will be blocked by the locking member 2. This ensures the integrity of the slot wall of the hook slot 12, improves the overall waterproof sealing performance, and prevents liquids such as rainwater from entering the hook member 1 through the connection between the hook slot 12 and the slot 13.

[0057] In some embodiments, the locking member 2 is provided with a groove 22. When assembled, the groove wall of the groove 22 smoothly connects with the groove wall of the hook groove 12. For example, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the groove 22 can be provided at the top of the locking member 2. Specifically, the groove 22 can be a U-shaped groove. When the locking member 2 is assembled in the slot 13, the groove wall of the groove 22 can be generally flush with the groove wall of the hook groove 12, so that the surface of the locking member 2 and the surface of the hook member 1 can be generally in the same plane, ensuring the overall appearance.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, the hook member 1 includes an extension portion 15 and a protrusion 14 arranged relative to each other in the front-to-back direction, the extension portion 15 is provided at the top of the hook member 1 and extends above the hook member 1, and the protrusion 14 is provided at the top of the hook member 1 and protrudes above the hook member 1, wherein the extension portion 15 is higher than the protrusion 14, and the extension portion 15 and the protrusion 14 can be integrally formed on the hook member 1, and the hook groove 12 is formed between the extension portion 15 and the protrusion 14, thereby facilitating the forming of the hook groove 12.

[0059] Optionally, the extension portion 15 has an arc, for example, the top end of the extension portion 15 may be bent and extended toward the front side, thereby ensuring the stability of the hooking.

[0060] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the locking member 2 can be elastically deformed and interference fit within the slot 13. For example, the locking member 2 can be made of rubber, plastic, silicone, etc., and the width of the locking member 2 in the left-right direction can be slightly larger than the width of the slot 13. During assembly, the locking member 2 can be directly inserted into the slot 13. The locking member 2 will elastically deform under the squeezing action of the left and right groove walls of the slot 13, thereby allowing the locking member 2 to be directly fixed within the slot 13.

[0061] In some embodiments, the surface of the locking member 2 is provided with a ridge (not shown), and there can be multiple ridges. A portion of the ridges can be located on the left side of the locking member 2, and another portion of the ridges can be located on the right side of the locking member 2. In the assembled state, the ridges are in contact with the groove wall of the slot 13 to fix the locking member 2, thereby achieving interference fit between the locking member 2 and the hook member 1, thereby ensuring the locking and fixing effect of the locking member 2.

[0062] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the ridges may be replaced by convex points, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, one of the locking member 2 and the hook member 1 is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a slot. When assembled, the buckle snaps into place within the slot. For example, the buckle can be integrally formed on the outer wall of the locking member 2, and the slot can be provided on the wall of the slot 13 of the hook member 1. When the locking member 2 is assembled into the slot 13, the buckle snaps into place within the corresponding slot, thereby achieving snap assembly of the locking member 2 and the hook member 1, facilitating installation and removal of the locking member 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, the hook locking mechanism includes a fixing member. In the assembled state, the fixing member passes through the hook member 1 and the keyhole member 2 to connect and secure the hook member 1 and the keyhole member 2. For example, the fixing member can be a bolt, a screw, etc. When the keyhole member 2 is inserted and engaged in the slot 13, the fixing member can pass through the hook member 1 and the keyhole member 2 simultaneously in the left and right directions, thereby achieving the installation and fixation of the hook member 1 and the keyhole member 2.

[0065] In some embodiments, the groove wall of the groove 13 is provided with an internal thread, and the surface of the locking member 2 is provided with an external thread. In the assembled state, the locking member 2 is installed and fixed to the hook member 1 through the threaded cooperation of the external thread and the internal thread.

[0066] For example, the slot 13 can be in the shape of a circular hole, specifically a threaded hole. The locking member 2 can be generally cylindrical, and the second hole 21 extends radially through the locking member 2. When assembling the locking member 2, the locking member 2 can be threadedly assembled with the hook member 1. Once screwed into place, the second hole 21 on the locking member 2 will automatically align with the first hole 11 on the hook member 1. This facilitates installation and removal of the locking member 2 while also ensuring a tight seal between the locking member 2 and the hook member 1.

[0067] In some embodiments, the hook locking mechanism includes a fixing post 3 and a fastener 4, and the hook member 1 is detachably mounted to the fixing post 3 via the fastener 4. For example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the fixing post 3 can be a seat tube (stem) of a mobility scooter, and the fastener 4 passes through the hook member 1 and is connected and fixed to the fixing post 3, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the hook member 1.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the hook member 1 may also be connected and fixed to the fixing column 3 by welding, bonding, or the like.

[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4 , the hook locking mechanism includes a lock 5 , which can be a U-shaped lock, or other types of locks 5 such as a cable lock. In the assembled state, the lock 5 passes through the first hole 11 and the second hole 21 and can be wrapped around the outer peripheral side of the external component (such as the vertical pole of the fence), thereby achieving connection and fixation with the external component.
