Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2, wherein fig. 1 is a front view illustrating a locking device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and fig. 2 is a configuration diagram illustrating an internal structure of the locking device of fig. 1. The locking device includes a housing 102, a first locking member 110, a second locking member 120, a connecting wire 130 and a first elastic member 138, wherein the first locking member 110 and the second locking member 120 and the connecting wire 130 may be disposed in the housing 102. In addition, the housing 102 has a first opening 104 and a second opening 106, wherein a portion of the first locking member 110 is exposed from the first opening 104, and a portion of the second locking member 120 extends from the inside of the housing 102 to the outside of the housing 102 through the second opening 106.

The first locking member 110 includes a connecting member 112 and a locking portion 118. The connecting member 112 has rotatability, and the connecting member 112 can rotate opposite to the rotating shaft A. The connecting member 112 includes a groove 113, a first member 114 and a second member 116, wherein the first member 114, the second member 116 and the locking portion 118 can be assembled in the same direction, and the second member 116 is located between the first member 114 and the locking portion 118. For example, the assembling direction of the first member 114, the second member 116 and the locking portion 118 may be parallel to the extending direction of the rotation axis a of the connecting member 112. The recess 113 is located in the first part 114 and also in the first opening 104 of the housing 102. The locking portion 118 is connected to the second part 116 of the connecting member 112, wherein the locking portion 118 is located on the rotation axis a (or an extension line thereof) of the connecting member 112, and the rotation axis a (or the extension line thereof) of the connecting member 112 can be used as a symmetry axis of the locking portion 118, that is, when the connecting member 112 rotates clockwise (or counterclockwise) opposite to the rotation axis a, the locking portion 118 connected thereto also rotates clockwise (or counterclockwise) opposite to the rotation axis a. In addition, the locking portion 118 is exposed outside the housing 102 and has a pair of first protrusions 119, wherein the first protrusions 119 protrude in opposite directions.

The recess 113 can be used as a keyhole of the first locking member 110, for example, when an operation object (not shown) such as a key is inserted into the recess 113 of the connecting member 112 through the first opening 104 of the housing 102, rotating the operation object relative to the rotation axis a will drive the first member 114 and the second member 116 of the connecting member 112 to rotate, on the other hand, since the locking portion 118 is connected to the second member 116 of the connecting member 112, the second member 116 of the connecting member 112 can also drive the locking portion 118 to rotate.

The connecting wire 130 is located between the first locking member 110 and the second locking member 120, and the extending direction of the connecting wire 130 may intersect with the extending direction of the rotation axis a of the connecting member 112, for example, the extending direction thereof may be orthogonal. The connecting wire 130 has opposite first and second ends 132 and 134, wherein the first end 132 of the connecting wire can be fixed to the first member 114 of the connecting member 112 by being wound around the first member 114 of the connecting member 112. In addition, the connecting wire 130 has a second protrusion 136, the second protrusion 136 may be located at a middle portion of the connecting wire 130, and the wire diameter of the second protrusion 136 may be larger than that of other portions of the connecting wire 130 in the size configuration of the connecting wire 130. The material of the connecting wire 130 may be a metal wire, such as a steel wire.

The first elastic element 138 is located between the first locking element 110 and the second locking element 120 and has two opposite ends, and the two opposite ends of the first elastic element 138 can be respectively connected to the first inner wall 108A of the housing 102 and the second protrusion 136, wherein the wall surface of the first inner wall 108A of the housing 102 to which the first elastic element 138 is connected faces the second locking element 120.

The second locking member 120 includes a pair of supporting arms (a first supporting arm 122 and a second supporting arm 124), a pressing member 126 and a second elastic member 128. The first support arm 122 and the second support arm 124 are commonly connected to the second end 134 of the connecting line 130 and are adjacent to each other, wherein the first support arm 122 and the second support arm 124 can commonly form a third opening 129 therebetween. In addition, a portion of the first support arm 122 and a portion of the second support arm 124 are exposed outside the housing 102. Specifically, one end of the first support arm 122 and one end of the second support arm 124 are commonly connected to the second end 134 of the connection line 130, and the other end of the first support arm 122 and the other end of the second support arm 124 extend from the inside to the outside of the housing 102 through the second opening 106 and are exposed outside the housing 102, wherein the portions of the first support arm 122 and the second support arm 124 exposed outside the housing 102 respectively have third protrusions 125, and the third protrusions 125 of the first support arm 122 and the second support arm 124 respectively protrude in opposite directions. The pressing element 126 is located between the first supporting arm 122 and the second supporting arm 124, and located in a third opening 129 formed by the first supporting arm 122 and the second supporting arm 124, and fixed on the inner wall of the housing 102. One end of the second elastic member 128, together with the first supporting arm 122 and the second supporting arm 124, can be connected to the second end 134 of the connecting line 130, and the other end of the second elastic member 128 can be connected to the second inner wall 108B of the housing 102, wherein the wall surface of the second inner wall 108B of the housing 102 to which the second elastic member 128 is connected faces the pressing member 126.

With the above configuration, under the condition that the connecting member 112 is driven to rotate by the operation object, the pair of supporting arms (the first supporting arm 122 and the second supporting arm 124) of the second locking member 120 can be separated from each other, so that the first locking member 110 and the second locking member 120 can respectively lock and fix corresponding objects. Specifically, please see fig. 2 and fig. 3 together, wherein fig. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of the internal structure of the locking device of fig. 2 after rotating the connecting member 112 of the first locking member 110.

As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, when the connecting member 112 is driven by an operation object (not shown) to rotate, the locking portion 118 and the first protrusion 119 thereof also rotate, wherein the locking portion 118 can be inserted into an external device (not shown), and the first protrusion 119 is engaged with the external device by rotating, so as to connect with the external device.

On the other hand, since the first end 132 of the connection wire 130 is fixed and wound around the first member 114 of the connection member 112, the connection wire 130 is wound around the first member 114 of the connection member 112 while the connection member 112 rotates, so that the second protrusion 136 and the first and

second support arms

122 and 124 connected thereto move toward the connection member 112, wherein the second protrusion 136 moving toward the connection member 112 compresses the first elastic member 138, and the second elastic member 128 connected to the second end 134 of the connection wire 130 is compressed. The first and

second support arms

122 and 124 moving toward the connecting member 112 are supported by the pressing member 126 after contacting the pressing member 126, thereby increasing the distance between the third protrusions 125 of the first and

second support arms

122 and 124, wherein the first and

second support arms

122 and 124 can be inserted into another external device (not shown) and engaged with the other external device through the third protrusions 125 thereof after being supported, thereby being connected with the other external device.

The two external devices may be a desk and an electronic device, for example, the locking device may be locked on the desk by the first locking member 110 and locked on the electronic device by the second locking member 120, so as to fix the electronic device on the desk. In addition, when the internal structure of the locking device is in the state shown in fig. 3, the connecting member 112 can be driven by the operation object to rotate, so as to restore the internal structure of the locking device to the state shown in fig. 2, wherein the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 138 and the second elastic member 128 can facilitate the restoration of the internal structure of the locking device to the state shown in fig. 2.

In summary, the locking device of the present invention includes a first locking member, a connecting wire, and a second locking member, wherein the first locking member includes a connecting member with rotatability. When the operation object is used to drive the connecting member to rotate, the first locking member and the second locking member can respectively generate corresponding actions, so that the locking device can be connected with different articles and locked with the different articles.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
