[0026] Combined with other drawings, a pawl 9 is installed on the horizontal plane of the lower cover plate 1 through a pawl shaft 10, and a ratchet 8 is installed through a ratchet shaft 7. A pawl pin 11 is provided on the pawl 9. Other parts act on the pawl pin 11 to push the pawl 9 to engage or separate with the ratchet 8 to achieve locking and opening of the lock body. The lower cover plate 1 is covered with a lock body 2, and a locking toggle buffer block 23 and a worm gear shaft 17 are provided on the front of the lock body 2. The ratchet shaft 7 on the front of the lock body 2 is also provided with an outer locking rocker arm 20, an anti-mislocking rocker arm 40, a connecting plate 31 and a locking toggle block 22 from bottom to top. The connecting plate 31 is used to enhance the strength of the structure. The rotating surface of the anti-mislocking rocker arm 40 is parallel to the horizontal plane of the lock body 2. The locking toggle block 22 is connected to one end of the locking toggle block torsion spring 33, and the other end of the locking toggle block torsion spring 33 is fixed to the locking toggle block fixed shaft 32 of the lock body 2; a locking rocker arm shaft 5 is provided on the vertical surface of the lock body 2 to install the locking rocker arm 6. The rotating surface of the locking rocker arm 6 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the lock body 2. The side of the locking rocker arm 6 is the locking toggle block 22. The rotating surface of the locking toggle block 22 is parallel to the horizontal plane of the lock body 2. One side of the locking toggle block 22 is the worm gear shaft 17. The worm gear 15 and the pinion 19 are installed on the worm gear shaft 17. The worm gear 15 and the worm 14 driven to rotate by the motor 13 are meshed and connected. The pinion 19 rotates with the worm gear 15. The teeth on the pinion 19 fit the teeth on the side of the locking toggle block 22.

The other side of the locking toggle block 22 relative to the worm gear shaft 17 is provided with an outward opening rocker arm shaft 29, on which an opening linkage plate 26, an opening toggle plate 28 and an outward opening rocker arm 27 are sequentially arranged, and an outward opening rocker arm return spring 30 is also arranged on the outward opening rocker arm shaft 29 for resetting the outward opening rocker arm 27. The upper cover plate 3 is covered above the lock body 2, and the upper cover plate 3 is provided with an inner opening rocker arm shaft 38, which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the lock body 2, and an inner opening rocker arm 36, a retaining spring 37 and an inner opening rocker arm return spring 39 are arranged on the inner opening rocker arm shaft 38, and the retaining spring 37 is used to fix the inner opening rocker arm shaft 38, and the inner opening rocker arm return spring 39 is used to resetting the inner opening rocker arm 36.

[0027] The above description of the structure is a description of the main structure of the present invention, and other structures not described in detail are installed and connected according to the relevant parts of the lock body in the prior art.

[0028] When the lock body of the present invention is in use, when the ratchet 8 rotates to a position where it engages with the pawl 9, the door is locked; when the outer opening pull wire or pull rod drives the outer opening rocker arm 27 to rotate, the outer opening rocker arm 27 acts on the opening toggle plate 28 and the opening linkage plate 26, to move the pawl pin 11, to push the pawl 9 away and separate it from the ratchet 8, and the door can be opened at this time; when the inner opening pull wire drives the inner opening rocker arm 36, the inner opening rocker arm 36 pushes the opening toggle plate 28 to rotate, and the opening toggle plate 28 drives the opening linkage plate 26 to move, which can push the pawl pin 11, so that the ratchet 8 and the pawl 9 are disengaged, and the door can be opened.

[0029] The implementation process of the anti-mislocking function of the present invention is as follows: when the vehicle door is in an open state and the inner opening rocker arm 36 or the outer opening rocker arm 27 has not been reset, through the action of the locking rocker arm 6, the locking toggle block 22 is driven to rotate through the pawl pin 11 and the opening linkage plate 26, and the locking toggle block 22 is rotated to the limit position of the anti-mislocking rocker arm 40, and the anti-mislocking rocker arm 40 prevents the locking toggle block 22 from returning to its original position, thereby avoiding the situation of accidentally locking the vehicle door.

[0030] In addition to the above-mentioned anti-mislocking function, the present invention can also realize the following conventional functions, and each function is briefly described below.

[0031] 1. Outward opening function: the outward opening rocker arm 27 pushes the opening toggle plate 28, and the opening toggle plate 28 drives the opening linkage plate 26, thereby toggling the ratchet pawl pin 11, pushing the ratchet pawl 9 to separate from the ratchet wheel 8, thereby opening the door lock.

[0032] 2. Inward opening function: the inward opening rocker arm 36 pushes the opening toggle plate 28, and the opening toggle plate 28 drives the opening linkage plate 26, thereby toggling the ratchet pawl pin 11, pushing the ratchet pawl 9 to separate from the ratchet wheel 8, thereby opening the door lock.

[0033] 3. Central control function: The motor 13 drives the worm gear 15 to rotate, directly acting on the pinion 19. The pinion 19 drives the locking toggle block 22 to rotate. The locking toggle block 22 pushes the opening linkage plate 26 to move, so that the opening linkage plate 26 is separated from the pawl pin 11, thereby realizing the unlocking function of the door lock.

[0034] 4. Key safety function: The outer locking rocker arm 20 directly acts on the locking toggle block 22 to separate the opening linkage plate 26 from the pawl pin 11, thereby realizing the unlocking function of the door lock.

[0035] 5. Double-pull unlocking function: In the locked state, the inner opening rocker arm 36 pushes the locking rocker arm 6 once, the locking rocker arm 6 drives the locking toggle block 22, the locking toggle block 22 pushes the opening linkage plate 26, the inner opening rocker arm 36 pushes the opening toggle plate 28 twice, the opening toggle plate 28 pushes the pawl pin 11, the pawl pin 11 drives the pawl 9 to move, releases the restriction on the ratchet wheel 8, realizes the inner opening function, and opens the door lock.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit the same. Those skilled in the art should understand that the specific implementation modes of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents with reference to the above embodiments. Any modifications or equivalent replacements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the pending claims.
