The coil spring 142 resets the clutch member shaft 141 by a torsional force, i.e., rotates the clutch member shaft 141 to the first position. During the process that the clutch member rotating shaft 141 rotates to the first position, the locking hook 120 moves in the opposite direction of the unlocking direction to the position where the electronic lock completes locking, that is, the locking hook 120 is located when the locking ball 160 slides into the first groove 121; the clutch rotating shaft 141 rotates and presses the locking ball 160 to be separated from the escape groove 144 and enter the first groove 121, when the locking ball 160 is completely separated from the escape groove 144 and enters the first groove 121, the clutch rotating shaft 141 returns to the initial position, the locking ball 160 catches the locking hook 120, and locking is completed.

The locking operation can be completed by pressing the locking hook 120 into the lock body 110, that is, the locking hook 120 is pressed in the opposite direction of the unlocking direction, the coil spring 142 rotates the clutch member rotating shaft 141 back to the initial position, the clutch member rotating shaft 141 pushes the locking ball 160 into the first groove 121, and the locking hook 120 is locked to complete the locking of the electronic lock. The locking process is simple, locking can be completed by pressing the locking hook 120, and the locking device is simple to operate, convenient and fast.

In some embodiments of the present invention, during unlocking of the electronic lock, the shaft 151 drives the clutch member rotating shaft 141 to rotate, and the coil spring 142 is tightened. The clutch rotation shaft 141 rotates to a position facing the locking ball 160, that is, the clutch rotation shaft 141 rotates to a region b, and the locking ball 160 can slide into the escape groove 144. The clutch member rotating shaft 141 rotates to the third position, it is understood that the third position is b2 position, that is, the driving mechanism 150 drives the clutch member rotating shaft 141 to rotate to b2 position, the driving mechanism 150 stops rotating, and the dial shaft 151 restricts the rotation of the clutch member rotating shaft 141 through the boss 153. The shackle 120 is released from the state where the locked ball 160 is caught in the lock body 110, and the shackle 120 is ejected from the lock body 110 by the elastic force of the elastic member 122, so that the unlocking is completed.
