Abstract

A reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks includes a knob; a cipher wheel assembly rotatable to the knob; a reset cam; and an auxiliary guide block. The knob is centrally provided with a receiving chamber for accommodating the cipher wheel assembly. The cipher wheel assembly includes a positioning piece, which is provided with a shifting lever. The reset cam is synchronously rotatable to the knob. The reset cam includes a reset surface and a guide surface that are connected. The guide surface is located beside the reset surface, and the reset surface is positioned at the highest point of the reset cam. The auxiliary guide block is movable to the reset cam. The support surface of the auxiliary guide block is positioned beside the reset surface. The shifting lever is connected with the reset cam.

Claims (30)

1 . A reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks, comprising:

a knob ( 10 );

a cipher wheel assembly ( 20 ) rotatable relative to the knob ( 10 );

a reset cam ( 30 ); and

an auxiliary guide block ( 40 );

wherein the knob ( 10 ) is centrally provided with a receiving chamber for accommodating the cipher wheel assembly ( 20 );

wherein the cipher wheel assembly ( 20 ) includes a positioning piece ( 21 ) and a shifting lever ( 22 ) disposed on the positioning piece ( 21 );

wherein the reset cam ( 30 ) is synchronously rotatable with the knob ( 10 ); the reset cam ( 30 ) includes a reset surface ( 31 ) and guide surfaces ( 32 ) connected to the reset surface ( 31 ); the guide surfaces ( 32 ) are disposed on two sides of the reset surface ( 31 ), and the reset surface ( 31 ) is positioned at a highest point of the reset cam ( 30 );

wherein the auxiliary guide block ( 40 ) is movable relative to the reset cam ( 30 ); and a support surface of the auxiliary guide block ( 40 ) is positioned beside the reset surface ( 31 );

wherein the shifting lever ( 22 ) is operatively connected with the reset cam ( 30 );

wherein after being tilted by the guide surfaces ( 32 ), the shifting lever ( 22 ) is engaged with both the reset surface ( 31 ) and the support surface of the auxiliary guide block ( 40 ); and

wherein a side wall of the auxiliary guide block ( 40 ) is in abutting engagement with a side wall of the shifting lever ( 22 ), and when the shifting lever ( 22 ) tilts on the guide surfaces ( 32 ), the auxiliary guide block ( 40 ) is displaced relative to the reset cam ( 30 ).

2 . The reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks according to claim 1 , further comprising a turntable ( 50 );

wherein the turntable ( 50 ) is rotatable relative to the reset cam ( 30 ); and

wherein the auxiliary guide block ( 40 ) is operatively connected to the turntable ( 50 ).

3 . The reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks according to claim 2 , wherein the knob ( 10 ) comprises a base plate ( 11 ); and

wherein the turntable ( 50 ) is rotatably connected to the base plate ( 11 ); the reset cam ( 30 ) is arranged on the base plate ( 11 ).

4 . The reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks according to claim 3 , wherein the base plate ( 11 ) is provided with a connection slot ( 12 ); the turntable is provided with a limiting protrusion; and

wherein the limiting protrusion is positioned within the connection slot ( 12 ).

5 . The reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks according to claim 3 , wherein a peripheral side of the turntable ( 50 ) is provided with a limiting groove ( 52 ); the base plate ( 11 ) is provided with a limiting block ( 13 ); and

wherein the cooperation between the limiting block ( 13 ) and the limiting groove ( 52 ) restricts the rotational angle of the turntable ( 50 ).

6 . The reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks according to claim 4 , wherein a pin shaft ( 14 ) is provided on the base plate ( 11 ); the turntable ( 50 ) is fitted over the pin shaft ( 14 ); the middle of the pin shaft ( 14 ) is provided with a connection hole ( 15 ); a fixing bolt ( 16 ) is fitted within the connection hole ( 15 ); and

wherein the turntable ( 50 ) is connected to the knob ( 10 ) through the cooperation of the fixing bolt ( 16 ) and the connection hole ( 15 ).

7 . The reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks according to claim 6 , wherein the turntable ( 50 ) is positioned at a center of the base plate ( 11 ); the reset cam ( 30 ) is located on an outer periphery of the turntable ( 50 ); the auxiliary guide block ( 40 ) is located on the inner periphery of the reset cam ( 30 ); and

wherein the reset surface ( 31 ) of the reset cam ( 30 ) and the support surface of the auxiliary guide block ( 40 ) are simultaneously engaged with the shifting lever ( 22 ).

8 . The reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning piece ( 21 ) includes a rotating shaft ( 23 ); and

wherein the positioning piece ( 21 ) is rotatable relative to the cipher wheel assembly ( 20 ) when tilted by the cooperation between the shifting lever ( 22 ) and the reset cam ( 30 ).

9 . The reset auxiliary structure for cipher wheel locks according to claim 8 , wherein the rotating shaft ( 23 ) is located on an outer periphery of the reset cam ( 30 );

a lower end of the guide surface ( 32 ) is connected to a base plate ( 11 ); and

wherein the guide surface ( 32 ) is a curved surface.
