Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of protective isolation facilities for the driver's area of ​​a vehicle, and specifically relates to a lock for the driver's enclosure door of a bus. Background Technology

[0002] Public buses are the most commonly used mode of transportation, but in recent years, numerous incidents of passengers harassing bus drivers have occurred across the country, with some even attacking drivers or grabbing the steering wheel. These incidents have severely impacted bus safety, causing significant personal injury and financial losses, and generating a negative social impact. To further strengthen urban vehicle safety, the transportation department has issued standards for bus doors. Therefore, a safe and reliable door lock is a fundamental guarantee for the use of bus doors. Traditional door locks use a separate structure for the alarm device and the lock body. This type of lock is extremely complex to install and has high maintenance costs. Furthermore, both the inner and outer opening of the door lock use handles. The outer handle structure is not only difficult to open, but the protruding handle also makes it easy for passengers to bump into it when passing by the door, causing considerable inconvenience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. This invention provides a bus driver's door lock that is simple in structure, reasonable in design, easy to install, compact in size, easy to open, and easy to use.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: a bus driver's enclosure lock, comprising an inner lock body and an outer lock body. An inner handle is rotatably connected to the inner lock body. A latch is movably disposed within the inner lock body. A return spring is provided between the inner end face of the latch and the inner lock body. The inner handle has a rotating shaft on the inner lock body for controlling the movement of the latch. An inner locking stop button is also rotatably connected to the inner lock body. A locking plate for locking the latch is movably disposed within the inner lock body. The inner locking stop button drives the locking plate to move within the inner lock body. A latch is rotatably connected to the surface of the outer lock body via a handle shaft. A push arm is provided on the latch. A transmission arm is provided on the rotating shaft of the inner handle. A transmission plate is provided between the transmission arm and the push arm. A glass cover is provided on the surface of the outer lock body. An alarm device and an outer unlocking knob are provided inside the glass cover of the outer lock body. The outer unlocking knob is connected to the inner locking stop button.

[0005] Preferably, the inner lock body and the outer lock body are connected by mounting screws. The inner side of the outer lock body is provided with an inner mounting surface, and the outer side of the inner lock body is provided with an outer mounting surface. The outer lock body and the inner lock body are mounted on the door panel through the inner mounting surface and the outer mounting surface, and the distance between the inner mounting surface and the outer mounting surface is 38mm to 40mm. The inner lock body is provided with a cover plate on the outer mounting surface.

[0006] Preferably, the inner locking button has a turntable inside the inner lock body, and a lever is provided on the turntable. The lever is connected to the locking plate, and the inner locking button drives the locking plate to move inside the inner lock body through the lever.

[0007] Preferably, the inner lock body has limiting plates on both sides of the locking plate, the locking plate slides between the two limiting plates, the locking plate has a locking groove that matches the lever on the turntable, the lever drives the locking plate to move back and forth in the inner lock body through the locking groove, the locking plate also has a locking strip for locking the bolt, the locking plate has a limiting groove on the side facing the bolt to prevent the locking strip from hitting the bolt, and the inner lock body also has a limiting post that matches the limiting groove.

[0008] Preferably, the two ends of the transmission plate are riveted to the transmission arm and the push arm respectively, and washers are provided between the two ends of the transmission plate and the transmission arm and the push arm. A return spring for resetting the handle is sleeved on the handle shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the alarm device includes a push-button switch and a buzzer. The push-button switch abuts against the glass cover plate, and the buzzer is disposed in the inner lock body. The surface of the inner lock body is provided with a sound-transmitting hole relative to the buzzer.

[0010] Preferably, the geometric center of the latch is a drive hole connected to the rotating shaft of the inner handle, the outer end of the latch is an insertion part that matches the latch, the insertion part of the latch is provided with a shock-absorbing rubber block, and both sides of the latch are provided with side stops for limiting the retraction and extension positions of the latch.

[0011] Preferably, the side stop block of the locking tongue facing the locking plate abuts against the locking strip on the locking plate in the locked state.

[0012] This invention integrates the alarm device into the outer lock body and replaces the traditional outer handle with a latch, making the latch and packaging device flush with the surface of the outer lock body. This greatly reduces the overall size of the door lock, facilitating its installation and use. The latch-type external opening door lock is more labor-saving and convenient than the traditional outer handle method. The shock-absorbing rubber block on the lock tongue can reduce the vibration between the lock tongue and the latch, reducing the noise generated when the lock tongue hits the latch. The latch is connected to the inner handle's rotating shaft by a push arm, transmission plate, and transmission arm, avoiding the situation where opening from the inside or outside causes the other side to rotate. This invention has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable design, convenient installation, compact size, easy opening, and convenient use. Attached Figure Description
