Electronic Device Lock With Detachable Buckle Cable
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional computer locks require the cable to be looped and tied to a fixed object before locking, lack flexibility in connection, and have a fixed collar that makes it difficult to pass through holes of varying diameters, leading to operational inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device lock with a lock lever and cable that allows for easy detachment and attachment of the cable via a buckle mechanism, facilitated by a switch control button, enabling the cable to be connected or disconnected from the lock at any time, and featuring a buckle part that reduces the size of the collar for improved flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the cable is directly assembled and fixed on the lock, then the lock structure is simple, but the cable cannot be detached or plugged in at any time and lacks flexibility in connection
Solution Approach 1:
The lock structure is divided into separate components: a lock body, a cable assembly with insert part, and a buckle mechanism. The cable assembly can be independently attached or detached from the lock body through the buckle connection, allowing flexible reconfiguration without affecting the lock body structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The buckle mechanism enables dynamic attachment and detachment of the cable assembly. The buckle part can transition between locked and unlocked states, allowing the cable to be connected or disconnected from the lock at any time during use, providing adaptability in connection configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the cable is looped and tied to a fixed object first, then the locking function is achieved, but the cable cannot be arbitrarily changed the connecting fixture and operation is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The cable assembly is separated into distinct functional parts: the insert part for buckling connection to the lock, and the collar part for connecting to fixed objects. This segmentation allows the cable to be independently configured - the insert part attaches to the lock while the collar part can be connected to various fixed objects without affecting the locking mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The buckle mechanism serves as an intermediary connection between the lock and cable assembly. It provides a standardized interface that simplifies the connection process, allowing the cable to be easily attached or detached from the lock without complex looping or tying operations.
3Reliability
If the reserved length of the cable is quite accurate, then the electronic device can be locked and restricted while maintaining the movement effect, but it has the disadvantage of being difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The cable assembly with detachable buckle connection allows dynamic adjustment of cable length and configuration. Users can attach the cable assembly to the lock when locking is needed, and detach it when movement flexibility is required, eliminating the need for precise pre-determined cable lengths while maintaining both security and mobility.
4Ease of manufacture
If one end of the cable is fixed on the lock and the other end forms a collar part, then the cable structure is simple, but it is difficult for the cable to pass through a hole with the same diameter or slightly larger than the cable
Solution Approach 1:
The cable assembly is divided into an insert part with buckling connection and a collar part. The insert part can be independently attached to the lock body through the buckle mechanism, allowing the cable to be connected to the lock without requiring the entire cable to pass through the lock body holes, thus improving adaptability to different hole sizes.

AI summary
An electronic device lock includes a lock and a cable. The lock has a lock lever equipped with a plurality of number wheels. The number wheels control the displacement of the lock lever, and the lock lever is moved by the switch control button to form a connection or disconnection state between the lock and an electric device. The lock lever is equipped with a buckle part, and the lock is further provided with a buckle hole corresponding to the buckle part. An insert part is provided at one end of the cable, and the other end forms a collar part. The insert part is inserted into the buckle hole of the lock, and the displacement of the lock lever drives the buckle part and the insert part to form a buckle connection or disengage.
