DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] The present invention discloses a key switch group lock head assembly with a positioning device, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a cylindrical lock head 2, a cylindrical lock core 20 and a key 1 matched with the lock core 20, the lock core 20 is embedded in the lock head 2, and the lock head 2 is sequentially sleeved with a handle 3, a lock fork 8 and a mounting seat 5 from top to bottom on the outside, the handle 3 and the lock fork 8 are connected to the lock head 2 through an axial serration, a serration A22 is arranged on the side of the lock head 2 opposite to the handle 3, a serration C meshing with the serration A22 is arranged on the inner wall of the handle 3, a serration B23 is arranged on the side of the lock head 2 opposite to the lock fork 8, and a serration D meshing with the serration B23 is arranged on the inner wall of the lock fork 8, the handle 3 is turned, the handle 3 can drive the lock head 2 to rotate, and the lock head 2 drives the lock fork 8 to rotate (see Figure 3 ).

[0031] Reference Figure 4 The bottom of the lock core 20 is provided with a retractable lock tongue 25, and the lock head 2 is provided with two axially symmetrical lock tongue grooves A51 matching with the lock tongue 25. The inner wall of the mounting seat 5 is circumferentially provided with six lock tongue grooves B53 matching with the lock tongue 25, wherein the angle between five adjacent lock tongue grooves B is 45°, and the angle between another lock tongue groove B and its adjacent lock tongue groove B is 90°. When the key drives the lock tongue to rotate, the lock tongue can only extend out of the lock tongue groove A and enter the lock tongue groove B when the eccentric circular shaft 28 is closest to the lock tongue groove A. The five lock tongue grooves B cooperate with the lock tongue to achieve the diversity of the rotation angle and direction of the lock head.

[0032] A circumferential groove a is provided on the outer side surface of the bottom end of the lock head 2, and an annular gasket 6 and a retaining spring 7 are embedded in the circumferential groove a. A lock head fixing hole 54 matching with the gasket 6 and the retaining spring 7 is provided at the bottom of the mounting seat 5.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 The mounting seat 5 is provided with a positioning hole 52 inside, and a positioning steel ball 13, a spring A12 and a set screw C11 are provided in the positioning hole 52 from inside to outside. The position of the positioning steel ball in the positioning hole can be adjusted by the set screw C11; a circular positioning groove 21 matching with the positioning steel ball 13 is provided on the outside of the lock head 2. Before the positioning steel ball 13 enters the positioning groove 21, the spring A12 is in a compressed state.

[0034] If the positioning hole 52 and the positioning groove 21 are not provided in the lock head assembly, before the lock tongue enters the lock tongue groove A51, when the key 1 is twisted, the key 1 will drive the lock core 20 to rotate, and the lock head 2 will rotate in the same direction as the lock core 20 under the action of the friction force of the lock core 20, making it difficult for the lock tongue 25 to enter the lock tongue groove A.

[0035] The lock assembly of the present invention is provided with a positioning hole 52 and a positioning groove 21. When the lock 2 is installed in the mounting seat 5, the positioning hole 52 and the positioning groove 21 are aligned according to their relative positions, and the positioning steel ball 13 enters the positioning groove 21 under the elastic force of the spring A12, thereby preventing the relative rotation between the lock and the mounting seat; before the lock tongue 25 enters the lock tongue groove A51, when the key 1 is twisted, the key 1 drives the lock core 20 to rotate. In this state, the friction force between the lock 2 and the lock core 20 is less than the damping force of the positioning steel ball 13 on the lock 2, so that the lock 2 does not rotate with the lock core 20, thereby facilitating the rapid insertion of the lock tongue 25 into the lock tongue groove A.

[0036] A limit platform 31 for limiting the downward movement of the handle 3 is arranged on the outer side of the lock head 2 , and a groove b cooperating with the limit platform 31 is opened on the inner wall of the handle 3 .

[0037] A marble hole 15 is provided inside the lock head 2, and a columnar marble B17, a spring B18 and a screw D19 are provided in the marble hole 15 from the inside to the outside. A guide hole communicating with the marble hole 15 is provided inside the lock core 20, and the diameter of the guide hole is the same as the diameter of the marble hole. A columnar marble A16 is provided in the guide hole, and both end faces of the marble A16 are spherical. One end face of the marble B17 connected to the spring is flat, and the other end face is spherical. The diameter of the marble A16 is the same as the diameter of the marble B17. A groove c is provided on the key 1 for the end of the marble A16 to be embedded.

[0038] A protruding eccentric circular shaft 28 is provided at the bottom of the lock core 20 , and a groove d matching with the eccentric circular shaft 28 is formed on the lock tongue 25 .

[0039] One retractable end of the locking tongue 25 is in the shape of a boss, and the other end is in the shape of an arc.

[0040] One end of the handle 3 is a hand-held end 33 , and the end opposite to the hand-held end 33 is provided with a pointer 32 .

[0041] A nylon mounting block 9 is provided between the hand-held end 33 and the lock head 2 , and the handle 3 and the nylon mounting block 9 are fixedly connected by screws B10 .

[0042] The lock fork 8 is connected to the lock head 2 by a screw A4. A limit groove 81 is provided on one side of the lock fork 8. The limit groove 81 of the lock fork 8 is engaged with the mechanical lock 27 of the toggle switch group. The rotation of the lock fork 8 can drive the mechanical lock 27 to move, thereby unlocking the toggle switch handle on the toggle switch group.

[0043] The working principle of the toggle switch assembly lock head assembly of the present invention is that when it is necessary to start the toggle switch assembly, the key 1 is inserted into the lock core 20 and twisted clockwise by 90°. The key drives the lock core to rotate, and the lock core drives the eccentric circular shaft 28 away from the lock tongue groove B, so that the lock tongue exits the lock tongue groove B, and the rotation of the lock head is not restricted by the mounting seat; then the handle is rotated counterclockwise by 45°, and the handle drives the lock fork to rotate, and the lock fork drives the mechanical lock of the toggle switch assembly, so that the mechanical lock can move left and right along the mounting plate of the toggle switch assembly, thereby unlocking the toggle switch handle on the toggle switch assembly, so that the toggle switch handle can be pulled, that is, the toggle switch assembly is unlocked. In the process of twisting the key and the handle, the lock core and the lock head rotate, so that the guide hole of the lock core and the marble hole 15 of the lock head are misaligned. Therefore, when the toggle switch assembly is in the unlocked state, when the key is pulled out, the marble A16 cannot retreat into the marble hole 15, and the end of the marble A16 is still embedded in the groove c of the key. The marble A16 restricts the upward movement of the key, so that the key cannot be pulled out (see Figure 6 ).

[0044] After the locomotive is parked and the toggle switch assembly is no longer needed, the handle 3 is turned 45° clockwise, the handle 3 drives the lock head to rotate clockwise, the lock head drives the marble hole 15 inside it to rotate clockwise, and then the key is turned 90° counterclockwise, the key drives the lock core to rotate, the lock core drives the eccentric circular shaft 28 to rotate, the eccentric circular shaft 28 gradually approaches the lock tongue groove A and the lock tongue groove B, and finally the eccentric circular shaft 28 drives the lock tongue to insert into the lock tongue groove A and the lock tongue groove B, the lock tongue limits the relative rotation between the lock head and the mounting seat, and then limits the rotation of the handle and the lock fork 8, so that the toggle switch assembly can no longer be started. At this time, the key returns to the initial insertion position, and the marble hole 15 inside the lock head is aligned with the guide hole of the lock core. When the key is pulled upward, the marble A16 is pushed by the key, pressing the marble B17 inward, thereby compressing the spring, and the marble A16 partially retreats into the marble hole 15, so that the end of the marble A16 leaves the groove c of the key, and the key can be pulled out smoothly (see Figure 7 ).

[0045] The toggle switch assembly lock head assembly of the present invention is used to facilitate operators to identify the working state of the toggle switch assembly according to whether the key can be pulled out, which greatly reduces misoperation of the toggle switch assembly and ensures safe operation of the toggle switch assembly.
