In order to prevent the brake cable 2 from being over-dragged to cause the brake cable 2 to fail, such as break, the rotation angles of the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 need to be set reasonably, such as the rotation angle of the circular motion is between 100 degrees and 120 degrees. Those skilled in the art can design a reasonable rotation angle according to the relevant parameters of the brake cable 2 and the relevant data of the brake in practical application.

Further, in order to control the rotation angle, at least one switch, such as a limit switch, is provided on the brake cable lock 1, and when the first reel 5 and/or the second reel 6 is triggered to the switch, a controller (not shown) receives a switch signal and issues a command to stop the rotation to the driving unit, the driving unit stops the rotation, and the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 wind the brake cable 2 and keep the brake cable 2 in a reasonable tension state. Referring to fig. 1, in order to facilitate the control of the switch, the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 are disposed on the same plane, while the top of the first reel 5 is at a higher level than the top of the second reel 6, and the switch is mounted at a higher level than the top of the second reel 6, so that only the top of the first reel 5 can trigger the switch when the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 rotate.

Therefore, a reasonable scheme can be designed by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

Further, in another embodiment of the application, the two reels respectively trigger different switches to realize the locking and unlocking functions when rotating, for example, when the lock is closed in the forward direction, the first reel 5 triggers the first switch 3 and then the driving unit stops rotating; when the lock is unlocked by reverse rotation, the second reel 6 triggers the second switch 4 to stop the rotation of the driving unit.

Further, another embodiment of the present application, based on the same operation principle as the above embodiment, may optionally provide a reel, the reel is perpendicular to the rotation plane, the brake cable is parallel to the plane and tangent to the reel, when the reel makes a curved motion in the direction tangent to the brake cable, such as making an arc motion, it can drive the reel to push and tighten the traction brake cable, thereby realizing the locking of the brake; when the bicycle is reversely rotated, the bicycle can be restored to the position tangent to the brake cable, so that the brake cable releases the brake.

In addition, fig. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a first method for locking and unlocking a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application, including the above-mentioned brake cable lock, further including the following steps:

s111, starting the driving unit to rotate positively to drive the ratchet wheel assembly to rotate, wherein the ratchet wheel assembly is provided with a reel;

the driving unit 10 is connected with the ratchet assembly 8 and can drive the ratchet assembly 8 to rotate, the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 are arranged on one side, away from the driving unit 10, of the ratchet assembly 8, and the driving unit 10 is set to be in a locking direction when rotating forwards.

S112, when the reel rotates along with the ratchet wheel component, the brake wire is tensioned to lock the brake so as to lock the brake;

the driving unit 10 is rotated in the normal direction to be in the locking direction, and the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 are rotated to gradually approach and tighten the brake cable 2, and the brake cable 2 is tightened to lock the brake, thereby achieving the locking state of the vehicle.

S113, starting the driving unit to reversely rotate to drive the ratchet wheel component to rotate;

when the vehicle needs to be opened after the vehicle is in a locked state, the starting driving unit 10 is started to rotate reversely, so that the ratchet wheel assembly 8 is driven to rotate reversely, and the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 arranged on the ratchet wheel assembly 8 can be driven to rotate after the ratchet wheel assembly 8 rotates reversely.

It should be noted that forward rotation and reverse rotation are a set of relative concepts, and are mainly used to describe that the two rotation directions are opposite, and in some embodiments, there may be a way of locking the lock by forward rotation and locking the lock by reverse rotation.

S114, when the reel rotates reversely along with the ratchet wheel assembly, the brake wire is loosened to release the brake, so that unlocking is carried out.

When the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 rotate reversely along with the ratchet assembly 8, the tensioned brake cable 2 can be gradually loosened, the brake cable 2 is restored to a natural state, the brake is released, and finally the unlocking state of the vehicle is realized.

Further, fig. 11 shows a flowchart of a vehicle locking and unlocking method according to an embodiment of the present application, which further includes the following steps:

s121, the driving unit is connected with a transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly is sleeved in the ratchet wheel assembly;

a transmission component 11 is arranged between the driving unit 10 and the ratchet wheel component 8, one end of the transmission component 11 is connected to the output end of the driving unit 10, the other end of the transmission component 11 is sleeved in the ratchet wheel component 8, and the transmission component 11 drives the ratchet wheel component 8 to rotate.

S122, the ratchet wheel assembly comprises a first pawl and a ratchet wheel, the transmission assembly comprises a second pawl and a transmission plate, the first pawl is arranged on the outer ring of the ratchet wheel, and the second pawl is arranged on the inner ring of the ratchet wheel;

the ratchet assembly 8 includes a ratchet 81 and a first pawl 82, and the transmission assembly 11 includes a transmission block 111, a second pawl 112, a transmission plate 113, and a spring plate (not shown). The first pawl 82 is arranged on the outer ring of the ratchet 81, the second pawl 112 is sleeved in the inner ring of the ratchet 81, and when the driving unit 10 drives the transmission assembly 11 to rotate, the second pawl 112 can push the ratchet 81 to rotate in one direction.

S123, when the driving unit rotates forwards, the second pawl pushes the ratchet wheel to rotate, so that the brake cable is tensioned;

when the driving unit 10 is set to rotate forward, the second pawl 112 pushes the ratchet wheel 81 to rotate; correspondingly, the direction of the first pawl 82, which is set when the ratchet wheel 81 rotates at this time, can not restrict the rotation of the ratchet wheel 81. At this time, the ratchet 81 rotates to rotate the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 and tighten the brake cable 2, eventually achieving the lock-off function.

S124, when the driving unit rotates reversely, the transmission plate pushes the first pawl to be far away from the ratchet wheel so as to release the ratchet wheel.

Since the second pawl 112 pushes the ratchet 81 to rotate when the driving unit 10 rotates forward and the second pawl 112 rotates backward but does not act on the ratchet 81 when the driving unit 10 rotates backward, the ratchet 81 is held at a fixed position by the first pawl 82, due to the action of the transmission plate 113 on the transmission assembly 11, when the transmission assembly 11 rotates backward, the transmission plate 113 can act on the first pawl 82 and push the first pawl 82 away from the ratchet 81, thereby releasing the ratchet 81. When the drive plate 113 intermittently pushes the first pawl 82 to release the ratchet 81 after rotating, the ratchet 81 is finally restored to the initial state, the first reel 5 and the second reel 6 are driven to rotate and the brake cable 2 is released, and finally the unlocking function is realized.

According to the locking or unlocking method of the vehicle, the principle that the brake is locked when the brake wire of the vehicle is tightened and released is utilized, the driving unit drives the ratchet wheel assemblies to rotate in different directions, so that the brake wire is tensioned or loosened, and the vehicle is locked or unlocked. The method provided by the application is simple in principle and convenient to operate, and can be matched with the mobile internet, so that a user can use the method more conveniently, and the riding experience of the user is effectively improved.
