Description:
I have two simple spur gears that I want design a lock mechanism for them. The lock shall be engaged with one of these two spur gears and prevent rotation in both directions (both CW and CCW). The lock mechanism shall be triggered easily with a signal or a servo or similar method upon the request of operator to lock gears. The lock mechanism should be able to released easily and with simplicity.
Wants:
Simplicity and effectiveness as well as showing the functionality (locking one of the gears in both directions that also locks the other gear).
Software:
- SolidWorks CAD

Hi there
I'm so interested to do that.

Sorry! I would like to add an explanation to project 
: the third gear, which engages with the other two, which are in joint engagement, tightly blocks the entire mechanism.
With this solution, we minimize all the loads that fall on the locking mechanism.
With this solution, we evenly distribute the load on all three gears.
The stop gear moves along its own splined shaft in the axial direction. Alternatively, the locking device may be integral with the shaft and move with the shaft in the axial direction.
It remains for us to add a feed mechanism for this gear. It can be an electromagnetic solenoid controlled from a button or from a controller, an eccentric or any other option.
We can also make this mechanism spring loaded or bi-directional. To do this, you need to understand the whole structure as a whole.

I made the design but couldn't post due to technical issue. you can see my design here. https://dribbble.com/shots/21422365-GEAR-LOCK-MECHANISM?new_shot_upload=true

Prepaid please
@syednizamuddin : can you tell me what sort of information you need?
Hi Raki,
I am interested in the project, need more information regarding the locking and applications of the gears to understand indepth I have 5 + years of experience in cad design.
Thank you for your time

Please feel free to send your design concept
I am interested to participate in this contest.
Attachment is added. To be clear, gears are on separate shafts (each gear has its own shaft being supported by two bearings)
In fact I am looking for a general gear lock solution that can be adaptable to two spur gears that each rotating on a shaft. dimensions and gear specifications are not very important in this stage. Feel free to pick any to spur gears of your choice. As I want to keep the lock mechanism simple, I prefer to avoid a third gear, but feel free to offer your solution. Of course that in this gear mechanism, one gear is larger than the other and I prefer to have the lock mechanism to be engaged on the smaller gear. In the attachment I have included a sample gears which are close to my application (i.e. one is much larger than the other). Please let me know if you need more information.

I can help you but I need more information .
may I suggest a third gear engaged with both spur gears ? of course, it is something to use only when gears are stopped
Hello. I can help you but I need more Information.
Hey. I would like to know the application of the mechanism ??
Please provide more info and specification the gears.

This is my first design And I can improve according to your request. This is my new imagination , I did with a large width because it will contain a camera and a map to detect postion easily. Also I imagine that it is necessary to make a baffle like this the one to facilitate the communication.
