MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLE CABLE LOCK ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with a cable lock assembly for a micromobility transit vehicle. A lock assembly may include a latch, an actuator, and an electric motor. The latch may be movable between a first, locking configuration securing a locking pin in place and a second, unlocking configuration disengaging the latch from the locking pin. The actuator may be coupled to the latch and movable between a plurality of positions, such as first, second, and third positions. The first position may secure the latch in the first configuration. The second position may move the latch to the second configuration. The third position may allow the latch to move between the first configuration and the second configuration. The electric motor may move the actuator between positions. A tolerance between the actuator and the latch may limit a load applied to the actuator by the latch.

MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLE LOCK-TO MECHANISM SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods associated with locking a micromobility transit vehicle to a stationary object. A multimodal transportation system may include a docking station including a securement point, and a micromobility transit vehicle securable to the securement point of the docking station. The micromobility transit vehicle may include a storage basket and a lock cable including a first end coupled to the storage basket and a second end. The second end of the lock cable may be securable to the securement point of the docking station to lock the micromobility transit vehicle to the docking station. The storage basket may include a pin lock. The pin lock may engage a locking pin of the lock cable to lock the micromobility transit vehicle via the lock cable.

Lock
11738816 · 2023-08-29 · ·

A lock for locking a bike is provided. To lock the bike, a user inserts a rope head into a lock through a lock hole. The rope head drives a slider in the lock, and the slider drives a pin, causing an upper-rotation shaft of the lock become not linked to move with a lower-rotation shaft of the lock. Since the upper-rotation shaft and the lower-rotation shaft of the lock are respectively connected to a handlebar and a front wheel of the bike, the user is unable to control the front wheel through the handlebar. The rope head may also be connected to a rope, and when locking the lock, the user pulls the rope out from the lock, wraps the rope around a fixed object, and then inserts the rope head into the lock through the lock hole.
