Description

Vehicle lock control device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a vehicle lock control device, and more particularly to a lock control device for controlling a vehicle interlock switch.

Background

Since vehicles such as motorcycles in the early days are often started by a key, the linked switch of objects such as a fuel tank cap, a foot lever, and a storage box in the vehicles such as motorcycles is mostly operated by the key to turn on the switch. However, with the development of technology, the recent vehicle starting mode has been replaced by key control and chip sensing mode for opening control. The change also changes the control mode of the linkage switch into that a button or a deflector rod and other components are arranged on the vehicle, and the linkage switch is opened by pressing the button or deflecting the deflector rod.

However, since the button or lever of the interlock switch is generally provided at the handle of the vehicle in consideration of the convenience of the user's operation control, a non-vehicle holder can easily operate the button or lever so that the interlock switch can be turned on when the vehicle is parked in a public area. Therefore, when the interlock switch is used for controlling objects such as a storage box or a fuel tank cover, the problem that articles or gasoline in the storage box is stolen can be caused, and therefore, the anti-theft effect of the vehicle interlock switch is poor.

In view of the above, there is still a need for an improved method for operating a vehicle interlock switch.

Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, in the case that the vehicle locking device of the present invention is in an unlocked state, at this time, the notches 21 of the two sliders 2 are respectively aligned with the through hole 16 of the housing 1 and the first engaging groove 31a of the control member 3; at this time, the two balls 19 are not protruded from the upper end of the communication hole 16, that is, partially protruded from the lower end of the communication hole 16 and dropped into the first engaging groove 31a, so that the two sliders 2 can be moved and stopped in the sliding grooves 13a and 13B, and a user can control the pulling pieces L1 and L3 to move in a first direction and pull the slider 2 to move in the first direction as shown by the arrow in fig. 4, at this time, the pulling pieces L2 and L4 at the second end of the slider 2 can be pulled by the sliders 2 to actuate the unlocking mechanisms B1 and B2, so that two sets of objects (e.g., a storage box and a fuel tank cover) can be unlocked and opened by actuating the unlocking mechanisms B1 and B2.

Referring to fig. 2 and 5, when only one of the objects (e.g., one of the storage box and the fuel tank cap) is to be locked, the user can operate the pull element L5 connected to the remote control mechanism C to pull the control element 3 to move in the first direction indicated by the arrow in fig. 5, at this time, the two balls 19 rise along the slope of the first slot 31a, so that one ball 19 of the two balls 19 falls on the third slot 31C and forms an upper end not protruding from the communication hole 16 (as shown by the dashed line ball, corresponding to the slot 13b), i.e., the other ball 19 partially protrudes from the upper end of the communication hole 16 (as shown by the dashed line ball, corresponding to the slot 13a) and forms a notch 21 entering into a slider 2, and thus, when the user intends to operate the pull element L1 to move in the first direction, the slider 2 cannot move in the slot 13a, so that the slider 2 cannot actuate the corresponding unlocking mechanism B1, and the corresponding object cannot be unlocked; at this time, the ball 19 in the other sliding slot 13B enters the third slot 31c of the control member 3, so that the user can operate the pull piece L3 to pull the corresponding slide block 2, so that the slide block 2 can slide in the sliding slot 13B, and the pull piece L4 at the second end of the slide block 2 can be pulled by the slide block 2 to actuate the unlocking mechanism B2, so that the corresponding object can be unlocked to be opened. Therefore, one object (such as a storage box or a fuel tank cover) can be unlocked and opened, and the other object is locked and cannot be opened.

Referring to fig. 2 and 6, when the user wants to make the vehicle locking device of the present invention in a fully locked state, the user can operate the pull piece L5 connected to the remote control mechanism C to pull the control member 3 to continue moving in the direction indicated by the arrow in fig. 6, so that the two balls 19 partially protrude from the upper end of the communication hole 16 and enter the slots 21 of the two sliders 2, and thus, when the user wants to operate the pull pieces L1 and L2 to move in the first direction, the two sliders 2 cannot move in the two sliding grooves 13a and 13B due to the sliding blocks of the two sliders 2 in the two sliding grooves 13a and 13B caused by the balls 19 being blocked, so that the two sliders 2 cannot actuate the corresponding unlocking mechanisms B1 and B2, and thus two sets of objects (such as a fuel tank and a lid) cannot be unlocked and opened.

In summary, the vehicle locking device of the present invention can be used in combination with a control unlocking mechanism to control the object to be unlocked, and mainly, the two sliders can move and stop in the respective sliding slots through the balls falling into the slots of the control member, so that the vehicle locking device is unlocked; in addition, the ball bodies partially protrude out of the upper end of the communication hole and enter the grooves of the sliding blocks, the two sliding blocks cannot move in the sliding grooves due to the blocking of the ball bodies, the vehicle locking device is in a locked state, and the control unlocking mechanism cannot unlock objects such as the storage box or the fuel tank cover, so that even if the control unlocking mechanism is exposed outside the vehicle body and can be operated randomly, the aim of preventing the objects such as the storage box or the fuel tank cover from being illegally opened can be achieved, the objects such as articles in the vehicle or gasoline can be effectively prevented from being stolen, and the anti-theft effect is improved.
