Detailed Description

The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

In the present disclosure, the terms "inside" and "outside" refer to "inside" and "outside" with respect to the outline of a component or a structure itself, unless otherwise specified. The above directional terms are merely for convenience in describing the present disclosure, and do not indicate or imply that the referenced device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore should not be taken as limiting the present disclosure. In addition, it is to be understood that the terms "first," "second," and the like are used for distinguishing one element from another, and are not necessarily order nor importance. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same elements.

In the related art, the inventor of the present application finds that the basic reason for causing the continuous charging of the shared power supply is that the existing detection device is usually arranged on a transmission member of the locking mechanism, and it is difficult to accurately detect whether the locking mechanism completes locking the shared power supply, so that the locking mechanism is misjudged as being locked under the condition that the shared power supply is not locked, and a device for reading the charge information of the shared power supply cannot read the information, so that the phenomenon of continuous charging in a background occurs.

Based on this, the present disclosure provides a locking mechanism 2 of a shared power source 10, as shown in fig. 1 to 9, the locking mechanism 2 includes:

a lock body 21;

a key cylinder 22 reciprocally movably provided on the lock body 21 to unlock or lock the shared power supply 10 in the power supply accommodation compartment 1, and

and a first detector 23, wherein the first detector 23 is arranged on the lock body 21 and is used for acquiring the position information of the lock cylinder 22.

Through the technical scheme, the first detector 23 of the locking mechanism 2 provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is arranged on the lock body 21 and is used for acquiring the position information of the lock cylinder 22, and because the first detector 23 is arranged on the lock body 21 close to the lock cylinder 22, the position information of the movement of the lock cylinder 22 can be sensed very accurately and directly, so as to judge whether the lock cylinder 22 moves accurately to a position where the shared power supply 10 can be locked, and if the lock cylinder 22 moves to a position where the shared power supply 10 can be locked, it can be concluded that the shared power supply 10 is locked successfully; if the first detector 23 detects that the lock cylinder 22 does not reach the position capable of locking the shared power supply 10, it can be inferred that the shared power supply 10 is failed to return, for example, the shared power supply 10 is not returned to the position, which causes the lock cylinder 22 to be limited to the unlocking position. In this way, the first detector 23 is integrally designed on the lock body 21 and is arranged close to the lock cylinder 22, so that the accuracy of the locking judgment of the shared power supply 10 can be improved, and the phenomenon of continuous charging is avoided.

The first detector 23 of the present disclosure may be any detector capable of detecting the movement position of the key cylinder 22, for example, the first detector 23 may include various types of detectors such as a displacement sensor, a speed sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a laser detector capable of acquiring an action signal of the key cylinder 22, which is not limited by the present disclosure. In an example of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the key cylinder 22 is formed with a toggle member 221, the lock body 21 is formed with a relief opening 211 allowing the toggle member 221 to be exposed from the lock body 21, the first detector 23 has a first contact head 231, the first contact head 231 extends into the relief opening 211 to abut against the toggle member 221, and the first contact head 231 is used for sensing position information of the key cylinder 22. When the key cylinder 22 reciprocates in the lock body 21, the toggle piece 221 on the key cylinder 22 can toggle the first contact head 231 on the first detector 23 to move, so that the position information of the key cylinder 22 is sensed. Therefore, the lock cylinder 22 is in direct contact connection with the first detector 23, and is more sensitive to the moving position of the lock cylinder 22, so that the accuracy of detecting the position of the lock cylinder 22 is improved, and misjudgment caused when the lock cylinder 22 is disturbed can be avoided.

The relief opening 211 is sized to provide a space required by the toggle member 221 and the first contact 231 of the key cylinder 22 during movement, for example, the relief opening 211 is formed in a shape of a long hole extending along the movement direction of the key cylinder 22, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

Further, the key cylinder 22 includes a locking portion 225 extending in the direction of movement of the key cylinder 22, the locking portion 225 being adapted to engage with the locking slot 101 on the shared power source 10. The driver 221 and the locking portion 225 may be provided to protrude from different sides of the key cylinder 22, and for example, the driver 221 and the locking portion 225 may be formed on mutually perpendicular adjacent sides of the key cylinder 22, respectively.

In addition, the protruding height of the toggle member 221 can be set to be capable of abutting against the side wall 11 of the battery compartment, so that when the key cylinder 22 protrudes out of the first through hole 111 and enters the battery compartment, the maximum protruding displacement of the key cylinder 22 is limited, and the key cylinder 22 is prevented from being released from the lock body 21.

The first detector 23 of the present disclosure may be fixed on the lock body 21 in various ways, in order to avoid interference with the key cylinder 22, in an example of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the first detector 23 may be fixed on the outer side of the lock body 21 by a mounting plate 24, specifically, the locking mechanism 2 further includes the mounting plate 24, the mounting plate 24 is fixedly connected with the lock body 21, a mounting space for mounting the first detector 23 is formed between the mounting plate 24 and the lock body 21, and the first detector 23 is fixed on the mounting plate 24. In this way, by disposing the first detector 23 between the mounting plate 24 and the lock body 21, the first detector 23 can be disposed as close to the lock body 21 as possible without being affected by the mounting plate 24, so that the first contact 231 can be in direct contact with the key cylinder 22, and the accuracy of detection can be improved.

Further, in an installation example of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the installation plate 24 is further formed with a positioning hole 241 and an installation hole 242, the lock body 21 is formed with a positioning column 212 and an installation column 213 protruding from an outer surface of the lock body 21, the positioning column 212 is in insertion fit with the positioning hole 241, the installation column 213 and the installation hole 242 are in fastening fit by a fastener to fix the installation plate 24 to the lock body 21, so that the installation plate 24 and the lock body 21 can be fixed at a distance by the installation column 213 and the positioning column 212 to form a space for accommodating the first detector 23. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first detector 23 may also be directly fixed to the lock body 21 by a fastener, an adhesive, or the like, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

Through the cooperative detection of the first detector 23 and the second detector 3, the judgment on whether the shared power supply 10 is successfully returned is more accurate.

It should be understood that the lock cylinder 22 is located at the locking position when the power supply accommodating chamber 1 is in the empty state (i.e., the state where the power supply 10 is not shared in the power supply accommodating chamber 1) and in the loaded state (i.e., the state where the shared power supply 10 is present in the power supply accommodating chamber 1). Only in the process of returning and borrowing the shared power source 10, the locking mechanism 2 is triggered to move, and at this time, it needs to be determined whether the returning action of the user is successfully completed, and in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the determination principle of determining whether the returning action of the shared power source 10 is successfully completed through the first detector 23 and the second detector 3 is as follows:

first, the lock cylinder 22 is in the unlocked position before the shared power source 10 enters the power source housing compartment 1. When the shared power supply 10 enters the power supply accommodating bin 1 and is pressed against the lock cylinder 22, the lock cylinder 22 retracts into the lock body 21, and then the first detector 23 is triggered to generate unlocking position information;

then, when the shared power source 10 is continuously inserted and reaches the bottom of the power source accommodating chamber 1, the shared power source 10 triggers the second detector 3 to generate the existence information of the shared power source 10, at this time, the locking groove 101 of the shared power source 10 is just aligned with the first through hole 111, the lock cylinder 22 extends into the first through hole 111 under the elastic restoring force of the reset elastic piece and is embedded in the locking groove 101 of the shared power source 10, at this time, the first detector 23 generates the locking position information about the lock cylinder 22.

Finally, when the controller simultaneously acquires the preceding unlock position information, the following lock position information, and the presence information of the shared power supply 10 about the lock cylinder 22, it is determined that the return of the shared power supply 10 is successful, and otherwise, it is determined that the return of the shared power supply 10 is failed. That is, when the first detector 23 acquires only the unlock position information of the key cylinder 22, does not acquire the lock position information, or does not acquire the presence of the shared power supply 10, it is determined that the return of the shared power supply 10 has failed.

According to the judgment process, the first detector 23 and the second detector 3 acquire a plurality of pieces of information, and whether the shared power supply 10 is successfully returned or not is judged according to the combination of the plurality of pieces of information, so that the judgment accuracy can be improved, and the condition of misjudgment can be avoided.
