[0005] Furthermore, it also includes a side plate assembly, the assembly is provided with an assembly groove in the up-down direction, the outer slider is provided with a guide long hole, and the outer slider is slidably mounted on the assembly groove through the guide long hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner sliding block is provided with a swing hole for the swing buckle to slide up and down, and the swing hole is arc-shaped.

[0007] Furthermore, the buckling mechanism and the inner rail are an integrally formed structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the buckling mechanism is a plastic part, which is fixedly installed on the rear end of the inner rail.

[0009] Furthermore, anti-collision parts are provided at the front end and the upper end of the fixing frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a spring member is provided between the upper end of the fixing frame and the upper end of the inner slider, and between the lower end of the fixing frame and the lower end of the inner slider, and two ends of the spring member are respectively fixedly connected to the fixing frame and the inner slider.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The present invention provides a slide rail interlocking mechanism for preventing multiple drawers from being opened at the same time. The inner slide block on the fixed frame slides by pushing the slide nail through the inner rail. During the sliding process, the left slide block moves toward the front end, and the slide block pushes the upper and lower outer slide blocks through the inclined surface. At this time, the outer slide block abuts against and is fixed to the slide block of the upper and lower slide rails, and the drawers installed on other slide rails cannot be pulled out because of the fixing of the slide block. When one drawer is pulled out of the frame, other drawers cannot be pulled out, thereby avoiding pulling out multiple drawers at the same time, ensuring the center of gravity of the frame, and preventing the drawers from tipping over and causing damage or injury due to all being pulled out.

[0013] 2. The present invention provides a slide rail interlocking mechanism for preventing multiple drawers from being opened simultaneously. The block at one end of the sliding pin on the swing buckle is buckled on the end face of the sliding lock slot. In the past, after the drawer was pulled out, the sliding pin would be separated from the sliding lock slot when the drawer was shaken, causing the drawer to be stuck and not pulled out smoothly. Now, the sliding pin is connected to the end face of the sliding lock slot through the block at one end, thereby avoiding the situation of being separated from the sliding lock slot. The structure is simple.

[0014] 3. The present invention provides a slide rail interlocking mechanism for preventing multiple layers of drawers from being opened at the same time. The locking mechanism for locking the sliding pin is made into a plastic part. The sliding pin can be locked in the sliding lock groove on the plastic part. When the drawer is pushed back, the inner rail returns to the rail, and the sliding pin collides with the sliding lock groove on the plastic part and then locks, thereby reducing the collision noise and achieving a silent effect.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2A slide rail interlocking mechanism for preventing multiple layers of drawers from being opened at the same time as shown in 4 comprises an outer rail 1, a middle rail 2 and an inner rail 3 which are sequentially embedded and slidably connected, the outer rail 1 being fixed on a frame, the inner rail 3 being fixedly connected to the drawer, and three or more drawers, that is, more than six sets of slide rail interlocking mechanisms are required to be symmetrically installed on both sides of the drawer, a fixing frame 4 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the outer rail 1, a straight hole portion 41 extending in the front-to-back direction is penetrated in the middle of the fixing frame 4, a hanging hole portion 42 is extended downwardly from the front end of the straight hole portion 41, a swing buckle 5 is provided on the straight hole portion 41, and the swing buckle 5 is slidably set in the straight hole portion 41 and buckled in the hanging hole portion 42 through a guide column 51.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and 5 The outer rail 1 is provided with a through slot 11 on the left side of the fixing frame 4, and the inner slider 6 is slidably provided on the fixing frame 4, and a sliding block 61 extends from the left side of the inner slider 6 through the through slot 11, and a first limiting portion 610 in a trapezoidal shape is provided at the front end of the sliding block 61, and an outer slider 7 is symmetrically provided above and below the sliding block 61, and a second limiting portion 71 corresponding to the first limiting portion 610 is provided at the upper and lower ends of the outer slider 7, and the second limiting portion 71 is inclined corresponding to the outer slider 7, and the inner slider 6 on the fixing frame 4 is pushed by the inner rail 3 The sliding pin 52 slides, and during the sliding process, the sliding block 61 on the left side moves toward the front end, and the sliding block 61 pushes the upper and lower outer sliding blocks 7 through the inclined surface. At this time, the outer sliding block 7 is abutted against and fixed with the sliding block 61 of the upper and lower slide rails, and the drawers installed on other slide rails cannot be pulled out because of the fixation of the sliding block 61, so that when one drawer is pulled out of the frame, other drawers cannot be pulled out of the drawer, thereby avoiding pulling out multiple drawers at the same time and ensuring the center of gravity of the frame, so that the drawers will not tip over and cause damage or injury due to being fully pulled out.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and 10 The end of the inner rail 3 is provided with a buckling mechanism, which is a sliding lock groove 31. A sliding nail 52 is provided on the swing buckle 5. The sliding nail 52 is slidably connected in the sliding lock groove 31 by passing through the inner sliding block 6, and the sliding nail 52 is clamped on the end surface of the sliding lock groove 31 through a clamping block 520 at one end. In the past, after the drawer was pulled out, the sliding nail 52 would be disengaged from the sliding lock groove 31 when the drawer was shaken, causing the drawer to be stuck and not pulled smoothly. Now, the sliding nail 52 is clamped on the end surface of the sliding lock groove 31 through a clamping block 520 at one end to avoid the situation of being disengaged from the sliding lock groove 31.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2, and also includes a side plate assembly 8, on which an assembly groove 81 is provided in the up-down direction, and a guide long hole 72 is provided on the outer slider 7, and the outer slider 7 is slidably mounted on the assembly groove 81 through the guide long hole 72. The side plate assembly 8 is a side plate of the frame, and the assembly groove 81 is provided for the outer slider 7 to move up and down to fix the inner slider 6.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 7 The inner slider 6 is provided with a swing hole 62 for the swing buckle 5 to slide up and down. The swing hole 62 is arc-shaped. Through the swing hole 62, the sliding nail 52 can smoothly buckle or disengage from the sliding lock groove 31 when swinging in the swing hole 62.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 The buckle mechanism and the inner rail 3 are an integrally formed structure, which can reduce the number of finished products compared to plastic parts.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig. 9 The buckling mechanism is a plastic part, which is fixedly installed at the rear end of the inner rail 3. The buckling mechanism for clamping the sliding nail 52 is made into a plastic part, and the sliding nail 52 can be buckled in the sliding lock groove 31 on the plastic part. When the drawer is pushed back, the inner rail 3 returns to the track, and the sliding nail 52 collides with the sliding lock groove 31 on the plastic part and then clamps, thereby reducing the collision noise and enhancing the quiet effect.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The front end and the upper end of the fixing frame 4 are both provided with anti-collision parts 43 to prevent the middle rail 2 and the inner slide block 6 from being damaged by excessive collision force when the drawer is pushed back.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 A spring member 9 is provided between the upper end of the fixed frame 4 and the upper end of the inner slide 6, and between the lower end of the fixed frame 4 and the lower end of the inner slide 6. The two ends of the spring member 9 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed frame 4 and the inner slide 6, so that the inner slide 6 can quickly pull the drawer back to its original position when the drawer is pushed back.

[0037] The main working principle and process of the present invention:

[0038] When the drawer is pulled out of the frame, the inner rail 3 fixedly connected to the drawer moves outward, driving the sliding nail 52 buckled in the buckling mechanism of the inner rail 3, and the sliding nail 52 moves toward the front end along the straight hole portion 41 through the guide column 51, and the guide column 51 moves to and buckles in the hanging hole portion 42, and then the sliding nail 52 is disengaged from the buckling mechanism, so that the inner rail 3 can continue to move outward; while the sliding nail 52 moves toward the front end, it also pushes the inner slide block 6 to move toward the front end, and the movement of the inner slide block 6 causes the first limiting portion 610 of the sliding stopper 61 to move toward the front end. Move toward the second limit portion 71 of the outer slider 7, and the first limit portion 610 changes from being in contact with the second limit portion 71 to pushing the upper outer slider 7 to move upward, and the top surface of the upper outer slider 7 presses against the sliding block 61 of the upper guide rail, thereby locking the upper guide rail, wherein the outer slider 7 below the sliding block 61 does not need to be pushed by the sliding block 61 due to gravity, but the bottom surface of the sliding block 61 presses against the top surface of the lower outer slider 7, so that the lower outer slider 7 can clamp the sliding block 61 of the lower guide rail, thereby locking the lower guide rail.

[0039] When the drawer is pushed back from outside the frame, the inner rail 3 moves inward, and the locking mechanism moves the sliding nail 52 in an arc shape along the sliding lock groove 31. The sliding nail 52 disengages from the hanging hole portion 42 through the guide column 51 and moves toward the rear end along the straight hole portion 41. The sliding nail 52 pushes the inner sliding block 6 to move toward the rear end. After the sliding block 61 moves to the rear end, the outer sliding blocks 7 above and below the sliding block 61 are no longer pressed against the sliding block 61, so that the outer sliding block 7 no longer locks the upper and lower guide rails.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
