Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile bonnet locks, and in particular relates to an unlocking device for an automobile bonnet lock. Background Art

[0002] The bonnet is a body component used to close the engine compartment. To prevent it from opening automatically due to vibration, there must be a bonnet lock at the front end of the bonnet. The bonnet lock is the locking mechanism of the bonnet, which keeps the bonnet tightly closed when locked and is easy to open after unlocking. To meet regulatory and practical needs, bonnet locks are usually divided into primary unlocking (inside the cabin unlocking) and secondary unlocking (outside unlocking).

[0003] At present, the front hood locks of cars on the market basically have the user close the front hood, and the kinetic energy generated by the weight of the front hood overcomes the spring force of the front hood lock, so that the lock buckle on the front hood is engaged with the lock hook of the front hood lock. When unlocking, the user must use the front hood lock unlocking handle in the cab and pull it twice to make the front hood bounce up under the action of the spring force. Since the unlocking handle is often arranged in a position that is not easy to operate, it is not conducive to user operation; in addition, due to the continuous popularization of electric vehicles, the engine compartment is designed as a luggage compartment with a high opening rate, so users have higher requirements for the opening function and performance of the front hood. How to achieve the electric and convenient unlocking of the front hood lock, and the manual emergency unlocking of the front hood lock to ensure the opening of the front hood is a technical problem that needs to be solved in line with the development of automobiles.

[0035] The working process of the unlocking device of the automobile front cover lock is as follows:

[0036] 1. Electric unlocking process

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, first, the first engagement point 8-1 of the lock hook 8 is engaged with the first engagement portion 6-2 of the pawl 6, at which time the bonnet lock is in a fully locked state, and the bonnet of the vehicle is in a closed state;

[0038] like Figure 8As shown, the electric actuator 2 is started, the telescopic rod 2-1 of the electric actuator 2 retracts, and drives the electric pull wire 3-3 to retract, and the electric pull wire 3-3 drives the pawl 6 to rotate clockwise until the pawl 6 contacts the limiting portion 1-1 of the bottom plate 1. At this time, the pawl 6 is at the rotation limit position for the first time, and at the same time, the first meshing portion 6-2 of the pawl 6 disengages from the first meshing point 8-1 of the lock hook 8, and the lock hook 8 rotates counterclockwise under the rebound force of the lock hook spring 11 until the second meshing portion 6-3 of the pawl 6 meshes with the third meshing point 8-3 of the lock hook 8, and at the same time, the lock hook 8 triggers the first micro switch 12, and the electric actuator 2 delays for a certain time to ensure reliable unlocking, and then the electric actuator 2 stops moving, completing the first-level electric unlocking;

[0039] like Fig. 9 As shown, the electric actuator 2 continues to move, the telescopic rod 2-1 of the electric actuator 2 extends and resets, and drives the electric pull wire 3-3 to extend and reset, the pawl 6 rotates counterclockwise and resets under the rebound force of the pawl spring 9, and at the same time, the second meshing portion 6-3 of the pawl 6 disengages from the third meshing point 8-3 of the lock hook 8, and the lock hook 8 continues to rotate counterclockwise under the rebound force of the lock hook spring 11 until the second meshing point 8-2 of the lock hook 8 meshes with the first meshing portion 6-2 of the pawl 6, at which time the front cover lock is in a semi-locked state;

[0040] like Fig.10 As shown, the electric actuator 2 continues to move, the telescopic rod 2-1 of the electric actuator 2 retracts for the second time, and drives the electric pull wire 3-3 to retract again, and the electric pull wire 3-3 drives the pawl 6 to rotate clockwise again until the pawl 6 contacts the limiting portion 1-1 of the bottom plate 1. At this time, the pawl 6 is at the rotation limit position for the second time, and at the same time, the second meshing point 8-2 of the lock hook 8 disengages from the first meshing portion 6-2 of the pawl 6. The lock hook 8 continues to rotate counterclockwise under the rebound force of the lock hook spring 11 until the lock hook 8 contacts the cover plate 5 and the lock hook 8 triggers the second micro switch 13. After the electric actuator 2 delays for a certain period of time to ensure reliable unlocking, the electric actuator 2 stops moving, completing the secondary electric unlocking.

[0041] like Fig.11 As shown, the electric actuator 2 continues to move, the telescopic rod 2-1 of the electric actuator 2 is extended and reset again, and drives the electric pull wire 3-3 to be extended and reset again, and the pawl 6 rotates counterclockwise and resets under the rebound force of the pawl spring 9. At this time, the front cover lock is in a fully unlocked state, completing the entire electric unlocking process.

[0042] 2. Manual emergency unlocking process

[0043] like Figure 8As shown, when an emergency such as electric unlocking failure occurs, the manual emergency unlocking is started, the manual pull wire 4-1 is manually pulled to retract, and the manual pull wire 4-1 drives the release rod 7 to rotate clockwise. When the release rod 7 rotates to contact the linkage portion 6-1 of the pawl 6, the pawl 6 rotates in conjunction with the release rod 7 until the pawl 6 contacts the limiting portion 1-1 of the bottom plate 1. At this time, the pawl 6 is at the rotation limit position for the first time, and at the same time, the first meshing portion 6-2 of the pawl 6 is disengaged from the first meshing point 8-1 of the lock hook 8. The lock hook 8 then rotates counterclockwise under the rebound force of the lock hook spring 11 until the second meshing portion 6-3 of the pawl 6 is meshed with the third meshing point 8-3 of the lock hook 8, completing the first-level manual unlocking.

[0044] like Fig. 9 As shown, the manual pull wire 4-1 is released again, the manual pull wire 4-1 extends out to reset, the release rod 7 rotates counterclockwise to reset under the rebound force of the release rod spring 10, and the pawl 6 rotates counterclockwise to reset under the rebound force of the pawl spring 9, and the second meshing portion 6-3 of the pawl 6 is disengaged from the third meshing point 8-3 of the lock hook 8, and the lock hook 8 continues to rotate counterclockwise under the rebound force of the lock hook spring 11 until the second meshing point 8-2 of the lock hook 8 is meshed with the first meshing portion 6-2 of the pawl 6, at which time the front cover lock is in a semi-locked state;

[0045] like Fig.10 As shown, the manual pull wire 4-1 is manually pulled back for the second time, and the manual pull wire 4-1 drives the release rod 7 to rotate clockwise again. When the release rod 7 rotates to contact the linkage part 6-1 of the pawl 6, the pawl 6 rotates in conjunction with the release rod 7 until the pawl 6 contacts the limiting part 1-1 of the bottom plate 1. At this time, the pawl 6 is at the rotation limit position for the second time, and the second meshing point 8-2 of the lock hook 8 is disengaged from the first meshing part 6-2 of the pawl 6. The lock hook 8 continues to rotate counterclockwise under the rebound force of the lock hook spring 11 until the lock hook 8 contacts the cover plate 5, completing the secondary manual unlocking.

[0046] like Fig.11 As shown, the manual pull wire 4-1 is released again, and the manual pull wire 4-1 is extended again to reset. The release rod 7 rotates counterclockwise to reset under the rebound force of the release rod spring 10, and the pawl 6 rotates counterclockwise to reset under the rebound force of the pawl spring 9. At this time, the front cover lock is in a fully unlocked state, completing the entire manual unlocking process.
