All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the lock 900 is preferably used to lock the support plate 810 of the tablet computer 800, however, in different embodiments, the lock 900 may be used to lock other objects having a plate structure.

As shown in fig. 2A to 2C, the lock device 900 of the present invention includes a housing 100, a locking element 200, a lock cylinder 300, and a driving element 400. The housing 100 includes a top 110, a first side 120, and a U-shaped slot portion 130. The top 110 has a top opening 111. The first side 120 has a first side opening 121, preferably adjacent to the top 110 and facing in a direction 129 parallel to the extension of the Y-axis.

As shown in fig. 2A to 2C, the U-shaped slot 130 extends from one end of the housing 100 to the inside of the housing 100 in a manner parallel to the X-Y plane, and includes a first slot surface 131 and a second slot surface 132 disposed opposite to each other, and a bottom slot 133 connecting the first slot surface 131 and the second slot surface 132. As shown in fig. 2B and 2B, the first slot surface 131 has a slot surface opening 134, and the first slot surface 131 is closer to the top 110 than the second slot surface 132. The U-shaped slot 130 is open in the direction 129 as a whole from a different perspective, so that a sheet-like object to be locked can be inserted between the first slot surface 131 and the second slot surface 132 of the U-shaped slot 130 in a manner parallel to the X-Y axis plane.

As shown in the embodiment of fig. 2A-2C, a latch 200 is disposed in the housing 100 and has a first latch end 210 and a second latch end 220. The first lock end 210 extends out of the housing 100 through the top opening 111. The latch 200 is movable in the direction of the Z-axis extension such that the second latch end 220 extends out of the housing 100 from the pocket opening 134 into the U-shaped pocket 130. The X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis are orthogonal, and the lock 900 further includes a first elastic member 510 disposed between the locking member 200 and the housing 100 for providing elastic force along the extending direction of the Z-axis.

As shown in fig. 2A to 2C, the lock cylinder 300 is disposed in the housing 100 to limit the movement of the lock assembly 200, and the lock cylinder 300 may be a combination lock cylinder, a key lock cylinder, or other types of lock cylinders. The driving member 400 is disposed in the housing 100 and has an operation end 410 and a driving portion 420, the operation end 410 extends out of the housing 100 from the first side opening 121, the driving member 400 can move along the extending direction of the Y-axis, and the driving portion 420 releases the restriction of the lock core 300 on the movement of the lock member 200. The lock 900 further includes a second elastic member 520 disposed in the lock cylinder 300 for providing elastic force along the extending direction of the Y-axis.

Further, specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2A to 2C, the lock core 300 is a combination lock core, the lock core 300 has a lock shaft rod 310, the lock shaft rod 310 has an engaging end 311 facing the lock 200, the lock shaft rod 310 can move along the extending direction of the Y axis to engage the engaging end 311 with the lock 200, the driving member 400 can move along the extending direction of the Y axis to make the driving portion 420 abut against the lock shaft rod 310 to drive the lock shaft rod 310 to move along the extending direction of the Y axis to release the engagement between the engaging end 311 and the lock 200, wherein, one side of the locking element 200 facing the locking shaft rod 310 has an engaging portion 230, the locking shaft rod 310 can move along the extending direction of the Y-axis to engage the engaging end 311 with the engaging portion 230, in different embodiments, the engaging portion 230 may be provided with different shapes, or the engaging portion 230 may not be provided and the engaging effect is achieved simply by the friction force generated when the engaging end 311 abuts against the surface of the locking element 200.

On the other hand, the U-shaped slot 130 is not limited to extending parallel to the X-Y plane, the lock 200 is not limited to moving in the Z-axis direction, and the lock shaft rod 310 and the driver 400 are not limited to moving in the Y-axis direction, based on design, manufacturing, use, and the like considerations.

Referring to fig. 3A and 3B, before the user uses the lock device 800 to lock, the first elastic member 510 provides an elastic force to the locking member 200 along the first direction 610, so that the second locking member end 220 of the locking member 200 does not extend out of the housing 100 through the slot opening 134 into the U-shaped slot 130. Thus, the lock 800 can be placed on the support plate 810 at a position to be locked as shown in fig. 1, that is, the support plate 810 is inserted into the U-shaped groove 130. At this time, the first lock end 210 protrudes from the housing 100 through the top opening 111, the lock cylinder 300 is in an unlocked state, and the lock shaft rod 310 can move along the extending direction of the Y axis. Wherein the first direction 610 is parallel to the extension direction of the Z-axis.

As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, when the user presses the first locking piece end 210 in the second direction 620, the second locking piece end 220 of the locking piece 200 protrudes out of the housing 100 from the slot surface opening 134 into the U-shaped slot 130, thereby achieving a clamping effect on the object in the U-shaped slot 130. At this time, the locking member 200 exposes the engaging portion 230 from the engaging end 311, and since the second elastic member 520 provides an elastic force to the locking shaft rod 310 along the third direction 630, the locking shaft rod 310 moves forward along the third direction to make the engaging end 311 enter the engaging portion 230 to engage with it. If the user further rotates the print wheel to lock the lock core 300, the engaging end 311 is engaged with the engaging portion 230, so as to clamp and fix the lock 800 to the supporting piece 810 at a position to be locked as shown in fig. 1. At this time, the operation end portion 410 protrudes out of the housing 100 from the first side opening 121. The second direction 620 is parallel to the extending direction of the Z axis, and the third direction is parallel to the extending direction of the Y axis.

As shown in fig. 5A and 5B, if the user wants to release the lock, the user can first rotate the print wheel to unlock the lock cylinder 300, and then press the operation end 410 along the fourth direction 640 to move the driving member 400 along the fourth direction 640, so that the driving member 420 drives the engaging end 311 to separate from the engaging portion 230 to release the restriction of the lock cylinder 300 on the movement of the lock member 200. In this way, the second locking end 220 of the locking element 200 may be separated from the U-shaped groove 130 as shown in fig. 3A and 3B by the elastic force of the first elastic member 510 applied to the locking element 200 along the first direction 610, so as to release the clamping of the object in the U-shaped groove 130. Wherein the fourth direction 640 is parallel to the extension direction of the Y-axis.

As shown in fig. 3A to 5B, the second groove surface 132 may have a protrusion 138 at a position away from the bottom groove 133, so as to increase the clamping effect on the object.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2A, the first side 120 is adjacent to the top 110 and faces in a direction 129 parallel to the extension of the Y-axis. However, in a different embodiment as shown in FIG. 6, the first side 120 is adjacent to the top 110 and faces in a direction 128 parallel to the direction of extension of the X-axis, based on manufacturing, design, or use considerations. As shown in fig. 6, in an alternative embodiment, the top 110 may have a number window 180 for displaying the text of the print wheel 380 of the lock cylinder 300, so as to facilitate the user to recognize the rotational position of the print wheel 380.

The lock of the invention has the advantages that: can be matched with a lighter and thinner electronic product which is inconvenient to arrange the anti-theft lock hole, and has small volume and convenient carrying.

The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all modifications of equivalent structures or equivalent processes performed by the present invention in the specification or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields are included in the scope of the present invention.
