BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (a) Technical Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a core structure of a gun trigger lock, and more particularly, to a gun trigger lock comprising two embedded parts. The main structure comprises a straight core rod inserted in the core rod hole of one of the embedded parts. A long keyhole is formed at the open end of the straight core rod, having an aspheric bump at the bottom of the keyhole. Moreover, a key shapes a pit corresponding to the bump at its front end. The key can insert into the long keyhole of the straight core rod to turn the rod rotating, and then to lock the two embedded parts by meshing the ratchet wheels, or to release the two embedded parts by separating the ratchet wheels. [0003] The present invention comprises a first embedded part and a second embedded part which can be combined together or release separately. The two embedded parts can lock the gun trigger and trigger guard to disable the gun, preventing it from the mis-shooting of the users. The first embedded part includes a pit and a straight hole, where a lock piece and a spring are disposed in the pit. The lock piece, having parallel ratchets formed on one side, is pushed by the spring and moves upward constantly. A washer made of rubber or soft material is disposed adjacent to one side of the first embedded part. Additionally, the second embedded part includes a core rod hole, and a straight core rod is disposed therein, which includes a long keyhole at the open end, and an aspheric bump disposed at the bottom of the keyhole. A gear shaft, having parallel ratchets on one side is formed extending from the straight core rod and is inserted into an open groove of a washer, which is made of rubber or soft material and disposed adjacent to one side of the second embedded part. Combination of the gear shaft and the open groove can insert into the straight hole of the first embedded part. Furthermore, a key also included in the present invention has an aspheric pit at the front end, corresponding to the shape of the aspheric bump at the bottom of the keyhole of the straight core rod in the second embedded part. Thus, by turning the key to rotate the straight core rod, accompanying with the gear shaft, the first and second embedded parts can be combined together or released separately. [0004] (b) Description of the Prior Art [0005] In general, the prior art such as Taiwan Patent Number 272628, a lock device of a gun trigger, comprise a fixation socket and an embedded socket, where a washer socket is disposed on one side of the fixation socket and another washer is disposed on one side of the embedded socket, facing the fixation socket. The features are the fixation socket including a lock core with a combination rod extending from it. The combination rod includes ratchets on one side and is disposed in a containing hole of the embedded socket, where the ratchets can intermesh with the ratchets on a lock piece of the embedded socket to show lock status, or separate to show open status. [0006] Accordingly, as the Taiwan Patent Number 496511, trigger lock comprised of multiplicity of steel sheet, comprises two embedded parts which can be interlocked. One of the embedded part has a lock piece and a spring inside, where the lock piece having ratchets on one side. The other embedded part has a lock core, a cylinder and a spring, where the lock core extends to form a gear shaft at the end, having ratchets on one side. One of the embedded part has a straight hole, where the gear shaft corresponding to the straight hole can be inserted into and combined properly. By meshing or releasing ratchets of the gear shaft and the lock piece, the gun trigger lock shows lock or open status. The key features are: the two embedded parts body are packed in a housing with multiplicity of reinforced plates, which are both made of special reinforced steel sheet formed by direct stamping. The housing and multiplicity of reinforced plates are assembled together with other related components, and then are combined and fixed together by stamping and riveting, so as to construct the main body of the embedded parts. [0007] Additionally, this prior art relates to two embedded parts which can be intermeshed with each other as in lock position, or be released separately with each other as in open position by way of the ratchet structure inside both the gear shaft and lock piece. The gun trigger and trigger guard can be lock or open by the action of two embedded parts packed therein. The structure can disable the gun trigger and prevent from the mis-shooting of the third party. [0008] However, the prior arts involve complicated structures and many components to fabricate the gun trigger lock and much time to assemble it, which results in high manufacturing cost. Thus, in order to reduce the procurement cost from the buyer with the pressure to reduce the street price, the present invention, under the condition to keep the same performance of the gun trigger lock, modifies the structure and successfully cost down its manufacturing cost. [0009] Furthermore, in some EU or USA area, the gun is conditionally opened to public and private are capable of owning or collecting guns or weapons personally. Some gun lovers or collectors even have hundreds of guns or weapons collections, while they need hundreds of corresponding gun trigger locks. It is obvious a trouble to manage so many locks and keys. Therefore, some gun and weapon collectors hope manufacturers can simply the management of the corresponding keys and locks, wherein it will benefit them much if one key only can manage all of their locks. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] The primary purpose of the present invention is to improve and create a new core structure of a gun trigger lock. The primary object of the invention is to make it easy and convenient to use and manage the gun trigger lock by modifying the key design with corresponding bump in the straight core rod, and without disabling overall functions of the gun trigger lock. [0011] Another object of the invention is to reduce the manufacturing cost and selling price of the gun trigger lock by the simpler core structure than previous arts. [0012] Reference will now be made in detail to the illustrated embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. [0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention of the gun trigger lock comprises a first embedded part 1 and a second embedded part 2, which can be both combined together or released separately. Additionally, the two embedded parts 1, 2 can lock the gun trigger and trigger guard to disable their functions, and then, to prevent from the mis-shooting of the third party. The first embedded part 1 includes a pit 11 and a straight hole 12, where a lock piece 13 and a spring 14 are disposed in the pit 11. The lock piece 13, having parallel ratchets 131 formed on one side, is pushed by the spring 14 and moves upward constantly. A washer 15 made of rubber or soft material is disposed adjacent to one side of the first embedded part 1. [0014] The second embedded part 2 includes a core rod hole 21, where a straight core rod 22 is disposed herein. The straight core rod 22 includes an arc groove 223 at the edge of the open end, providing insertion for a block 211 extending from the inner edge of the core rod hole 21 and limiting the rotation angle of the straight core rod 22 when inserted in the core rod hole 21. [0015] The open end of the straight core rod 22 forms a hollow cylindrical keyhole 221, where an aspheric bump 222 is disposed at the bottom. A gear shaft 224, extending from the straight core rod 22 and formed as one unity, have parallel ratchets 225 on one side and is inserted into an open groove 23 of a washer 24, which is made of rubber or soft material and disposed adjacent to one side of the second embedded part 2. Combination of the gear shaft 224 and the open groove 23 of the washer 24 can be inserted into the straight hole 12 of the first embedded part 1. [0016] Furthermore, a key 3 is also included in the present invention and has an aspheric pit 31 at the front end, corresponding to the shape of the aspheric bump 222 at the bottom of the keyhole 221 of the straight core rod 22 in the second embedded part 2.
