Secondly, a plurality of lining caulking grooves 3314 are arranged on the side wall of the lining hole 3312 at equal angle intervals; at least one limiting protrusion 3323 is disposed on the peripheral surface of the bushing 332, the limiting protrusion 3323 is embedded in the bushing caulking groove 3314, the matching angle of the limiting protrusion 3323 in the bushing hole 3312 (i.e. the relative angle with the character wheel 331) determines the common password corresponding to the character wheel assembly 33, and the user drives the bushing 332 to rotate to input the common password when dialing the character wheel 331. Of course, when the stopper 34 does not limit the inner sleeve 333, the character wheel 331 can drive the inner sleeve 333 to rotate synchronously, and the management password is input while the character wheel 331 is shifted. In the related structure described below, when the bush 332 is separated from the character wheel 331, the bush 332 and the character wheel 331 no longer have a circumferential limiting relationship, and at this time, the ordinary password can be replaced by firstly poking the character wheel 331 and then nesting the bush 332 and the character wheel 331.

The working principle of the invention is as follows:

(1) locking state:

due to the elastic force of the locking spring 35, the code shaft 31 is kept protruding from the character wheel mechanism 3 and inserted into the locking mechanism 2 in a normal state, that is, the end part of the code shaft 31 is inserted into the limit groove 211 and is movably matched with the lock tongue convex part 251 of the lock tongue 25, when in a locking state, the code of the character wheel mechanism 3 is a messy code (incorrect common code), the code shaft 31 cannot be retracted, and therefore, when the switch knob 21 is rotated, the lock cannot rotate due to the fact that the lock tongue convex part 251 is abutted against the end part of the code shaft 31, so that the lock is kept in the locking state.

(2) And (3) unlocking:

when the character wheel 331 of each character wheel assembly 33 is shifted to the common password, the character wheel 331 drives the bushings 332 to rotate so that the unlocking grooves 3321 of each bushing 332 are aligned with each locking projection 311 on the password shaft 31, and at the moment, if the password shaft 31 is stressed, the locking springs 35 can be compressed to retract, so that when the switch knob 21 is rotated, the lock tongue 25 can squeeze the password shaft 31 to rotate from the locking state to the unlocking state; the switch knob 21 is rotated while the rotating sleeve 22 rotates synchronously, so that the relative angle between the rotating sleeve convex part 221 in the rotating sleeve 22 and the locking shaft convex part 231 of the locking shaft 23 is changed, the locking shaft 23 moves from the low point 221b to the high point 221a along the transition line segment 221c under the elastic force of the unlocking spring 24, the locking shaft 23 axially moves towards the direction of the switch knob 21, and the locking shaft 23 gradually withdraws from the locking groove 113, so that the unlocking of the lockset is completed.

(3) Searching for a common password:

referring to fig. 18 and 19, when a common password is required to be found, a management password is input first so that the inner sleeve notch 3331 of each inner sleeve 333 is opposite to the stop protrusion 342 of the stop 34; then, the code searching knob 320 is turned, the code searching knob 320 drives the stop block 34 to axially move, so that the stop block protrusion 342 is embedded into the inner sleeve notch 3332 to fix the inner sleeve 333, and at this time, the character wheel 331 can only rotate clockwise (based on clockwise direction in fig. 18 and 19) because the character wheel matching part 3311 (ratchet teeth) is coupled with the inner sleeve elastic part 3332 (spring arm) to have a limiting effect on the rotation of the character wheel 331; the user rotates the character wheel 331 until the bush convex portion 3322 of the bush 332 abuts against the stopper catch portion 343 of the stopper 34, the character wheel 331 cannot rotate any more and stops, and at this time, the number displayed by each character wheel 331 is the common code.

(4) Changing the common password:

when a correct common password is input, the switch knob 21 is rotated by 60 degrees anticlockwise, so that the abdication groove 214 is opposite to the first check ring 36, under the action of the code changing spring 39, the retainer 38, the bushing 332 and the first check ring 36 move towards the direction of the switch knob 21, after the first check ring 36 is embedded into the abdication groove 214, the retainer 38 pushes the bushing 332 and enables the bushing 332 to be separated from the character wheel 331, at the moment, the rotatable character wheel 331 sets the common password, then the switch knob 21 is rotated to reset, the switch knob 21 pushes the first check ring 36, the retainer 38 and the bushing 332 back, and the bushing 332 is coupled with the character wheel 331, so that the replacement of the common password is completed.

(5) Changing the management password:

when a correct common password is input, the switch knob 21 is rotated by 60 degrees anticlockwise, so that the yielding groove 214 is opposite to the first check ring 36, under the action of the code changing spring 39, the retainer 38, the bushing 332 and the first check ring 36 move towards the direction of the switch knob 21, and after the first check ring 36 is embedded into the yielding groove 214, the retainer 38 pushes the bushing 332 and enables the bushing 332 to be separated from the character wheel 331; then the character wheel 331 is rotated to input the management password, the code searching knob 320 is rotated to drive the stop block 34 to move, the stop block convex part 342 on the stop block 34 is inserted into the inner sleeve notch 3331 to fix the stop block convex part, and at the moment, the management password is set by the rotatable character wheel 331; finally, the code searching knob 320 and the switch knob 21 are turned back, the switch knob 21 pushes the first check ring 36, the retainer 38 and the bushing 332 back, and the bushing 332 is coupled with the character wheel 331 to complete the replacement of the management code.
