[0039] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] This embodiment provides a locking structure for a marine contactor, as shown in the attached figure. Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes:

[0042] The reaction mechanism includes two connecting rods 11, connected by a connecting shaft to create a linkage between them. In addition, the reaction mechanism includes a torsion spring that engages with the connecting rods 11; this is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The connecting rods 11 are connected to the bracket 12, and their movement is coordinated. When the contactor opens, the torsion spring, through the connecting rods 11, drives the bracket 12 to reset, causing it to move vertically up and down, thus achieving the opening and closing effects; this is also existing technology and will not be described in detail here. In existing contactors, when used on ships (where waves create vibrations during navigation), the bracket 12 may reciprocate vertically under the force of these vibrations, posing a risk of misoperation.

[0043] The interlocking component 13, in cooperation with the connecting rod 11, forms a first locking part 14 and a second locking part 15. These two locking parts create two locking zones, achieving a secure connection between the interlocking component 13 and the connecting rod 11. Compared to a single locking zone, which cannot provide omnidirectional locking, the two locking zones offer a better locking effect. The first locking part 14 and the second locking part 15 can have the same or different structures, depending on actual needs. The first locking part 14 and the second locking part 15 form the connection and fixation between the connecting rod 11 and the interlocking component 13. The interlocking component 13 is provided with an interlocking hole 131.

[0044] The drive assembly 16 includes a drive source 161 and a locking tongue 162. The drive source 161 drives the locking tongue 162 to move. When the drive source 161 is working, the drive source 161 drives the locking tongue 162 to move; conversely, when the drive source 161 is not working, the locking tongue 162 is reset. Here, the drive source 161 can be an electromagnetic module, a motor, or other drive structure.

[0045] In the open state, the locking tongue 162 extends to the interlocking hole 131, engaging with it. At this time, the locking tongue 162 is positioned on the movement trajectory of the side wall of the interlocking hole 131. When the interlocking member 13 moves, the locking tongue 162 restricts the rotation of the interlocking member 13, thus achieving the effect of locking the interlocking member 13. In the closed state, the locking tongue 162 extends out of the interlocking hole 131, meaning it is reset. The locking tongue 162 is no longer positioned on the movement trajectory of the side wall of the interlocking hole 131. When the interlocking member 13 moves, the locking tongue 162 does not restrict its movement. At this time, the connecting rod 11 drives the interlocking member 13 to move, and the bracket 12 can move up and down.

[0046] With this structural design, a single contactor can achieve a self-locking effect through the drive assembly 16. That is, when in the open state, it locks itself to the interlocking element 13, thereby restricting the movement of the bracket 12 and achieving a locking effect. This structure is simple, provides good locking performance, prevents malfunctions of the contactor under vibration, and improves the stability of the contactor's operation.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 3-5 As shown, one of the interlocking member 13 and the connecting rod 11 is provided with a limiting post 17, and the other of the interlocking member 13 and the connecting rod 11 is provided with a limiting hole 18 that mates with the limiting post 17. When the interlocking member 13 is provided with the limiting post 17, the connecting rod 11 is provided with the limiting hole 18; conversely, when the interlocking member 13 is provided with the limiting hole 18, the connecting rod 11 is provided with the limiting post 17. The connection between the limiting post 17 and the inner wall of the limiting hole 18 has at least one planar connection point. Specifically, this planar connection point is where the planes abut against each other; that is, the outer wall of the limiting post 17 has a plane, and the inner wall of the limiting hole 18 has a plane, and the two planes abut against each other to form a planar connection point. When the planes abut against each other, a limiting and fixing effect is achieved, and the interlocking member 13 and the connecting rod 11 are fixedly connected. Furthermore, the limiting post 17 can be a regular triangular prism, with the limiting hole 18 having a corresponding shape; the limiting post 17 can also be a regular square prism, or even a regular hexagonal prism. The limiting post 17 and the limiting hole 18 cooperate to form the first locking part 14. The cooperation between the limiting post 17 and the limiting hole 18 creates a limiting and locking effect. Alternatively, other fixing methods can be used, such as bolt fixing, rivet fixing, etc.

[0048] Specifically, it also includes a fastening assembly, which passes through the interlocking member 13 and connects to the connecting rod 11. The fastening assembly, interlocking member 13, and connecting rod 11 cooperate to form a second locking part 15. The fastening assembly better achieves the connection and fixation effect between the interlocking member 13 and the connecting rod 11.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 3-5 As shown, the interlocking component 13 is provided with a guide post 132, and the connecting rod 11 is provided with a protrusion 111. The guide post 132 is sleeved on the protrusion 111, forming a pre-positioning and fixing effect between the guide post 132 and the protrusion 111. The fastening component passes through the guide post 132 and connects with the protrusion 111. The guide post 132 and the protrusion 111 form a positioning and fixing effect.

[0050] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 3 As shown, the fastening assembly includes a guide sleeve 191 and a fastener 192. The guide sleeve 191 is housed within the guide post 132, and the fastener 192 passes through the guide sleeve 191 and connects to the protrusion 111. The guide sleeve 191 further enhances the fastening effect. A washer 193 can also be added between the fastener 192 and the guide sleeve 191. The fastener 192 can be a bolt, specifically a self-tapping screw.

[0051] Specifically, the connection between the guide sleeve 191 and the guide post 132 is a stepped connection. The stepped connection provides a positioning and fixing effect for the guide sleeve 191, preventing the guide sleeve 191 from moving.

[0052] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 3-5 As shown, the interlocking hole 131 has a notch 133. The notch 133 is provided here to better achieve the cooperation effect between the interlocking hole 131 and the bolt 162.

[0053] Specifically, the cross-section of the latch 162 can be circular, square, triangular, or irregular in shape, and those skilled in the art can adjust it according to actual needs.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 3-5 As shown, the interlocking component 13 is provided with a guide surface 134, which guides the bolt 162 into the interlocking hole 131. The guide surface 134 is provided so that when the bolt 162 just abuts against the guide surface 134, the bolt 162 can enter the interlocking hole 131 by sliding the guide surface 134, thus forming a locking effect.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-5 As shown, the interlocking component 13 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 135, which improve the overall strength of the interlocking component 13.

[0056] Specifically, the interlocking component 13 is injection molded as a single piece. This single-piece injection molding design makes the processing of the interlocking component 13 more convenient. The interlocking component 13 can be designed with various features to meet different mating requirements. Compared to metal parts, plastic parts are easier to process and provide better interlocking performance. Here, the interlocking component 13 can be made of high-strength plastic.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-2 As shown, the drive component 16 is an electromagnetic lock, the drive source 161 is the electromagnetic part of the electromagnetic lock, and the latch 162 is part of the electromagnetic lock. Using an electromagnetic lock makes operation more convenient, and the control unit can coordinate with the contactor's circuitry to satisfy the cooperation between the two. In addition, the drive source 161 can also be a motor, etc. In this embodiment, the electromagnetic lock is fixed to the outer wall of the contactor. This fixing method can be a bolt connection, an adhesive connection, or a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figures 1-2 As shown, the lines connecting the imaginary center of the first locking part 14, the imaginary center of the second locking part 15, and the imaginary center of the interlocking hole 131 form a triangle. When locked, the triangular structure is more stable and can achieve a better locking effect, preventing the bracket 12 from moving.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
