Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an automobile steering wheel locking device, comprising a sliding part and a main body. The sliding part includes a fixing part formed by splicing left and right base bodies, a left clamping jaw, and a U-shaped pin with a one-way locking groove; the main body is provided with an accommodating space, a locking assembly, a right clamping jaw, and a window breaking part with a window breaking hammer. The locking assembly supports electronic unlocking methods such as fingerprint, password, or card swiping, and allows mechanical unlocking when the power is exhausted. It also comprises a one-way self-locking mechanism and a rebound mechanism. The two parts are detachable, balancing anti-theft, emergency escape, and maintenance convenience.
Claims8
An automobile steering wheel locking device, comprising:
- a sliding part provided with a left clamping jaw for gripping a steering wheel and a locking rod extending away from the left clamping jaw, a side wall of the locking rod being provided with at least one locking groove;
- a main body detachably connected to the sliding part and provided with a right clamping jaw for gripping the steering wheel and arranged opposite to the left clamping jaw, the main body comprising a sliding groove;
- a locking assembly arranged inside the main body, the locking assembly comprising:
- a mechanical lock module, comprising a mechanical lock assembly drivable by a mechanical key, the mechanical lock assembly being provided with a mechanical drive shaft, wherein the mechanical lock assembly comprises a lock cylinder, a mechanical transmission shaft and a mechanical locking disc, with one end of the mechanical transmission shaft being drivingly connected to the lock cylinder and another end fixedly connected to the mechanical locking disc;
- the mechanical lock assembly is configured so that when the mechanical lock assembly is driven by a mechanical key, the lock cylinder rotates the mechanical locking disc through the mechanical transmission shaft;
- an electronic lock module, comprising an electronic lock assembly that receives a control signal and drives an action, the electronic lock assembly being provided with an electronic drive shaft;
- and
- a locking plate slidably installed in the sliding groove of the main body, the locking plate being provided with two drive holes respectively matching the mechanical drive shaft and the electronic drive shaft, enabling either drive shaft to rotate and drive the locking plate to move within the sliding groove, the locking plate further being provided with an abutting part matching the locking groove, wherein the two drive holes comprise a mechanical drive hole and an electronic drive hole, the mechanical drive hole being configured for receiving the mechanical drive shaft, and the electronic drive hole being configured for receiving the electronic drive shaft, wherein the abutting part has a second inclined surface, the locking groove has a first inclined surface, and the first inclined surface cooperates with the second inclined surface to achieve locking and unlocking between the locking groove and the abutting part, wherein the locking plate further comprises an extension post extending downward from a bottom thereof, the extension post comprises a rebound mechanism, and an elastic force of the rebound mechanism acts on the locking plate to keep the abutting part tightly fitted with the locking groove;
- wherein movement of the locking plate drives the abutting part thereon to cooperate with a locking rod of the sliding part to achieve locking or unlocking of the steering wheel;
- and
- transmission paths of the mechanical lock module and the electronic lock module are independent of each other, and either module is capable of individually driving the locking plate to complete locking or unlocking operations.
