Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of push-pull lock technology, and particularly relates to a push-type lifting push-pull lock. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most sliding doors and windows use traditional hook locks, commonly known as "single-cylinder locks." Users manually operate the locking mechanism within the lock's groove, moving the internal hardware up and down to lock or open the door / window. Single-cylinder locks are widely used, almost in every household. While this sliding mechanism is simple in structure, space constraints make it difficult for users to operate the mechanism within the narrow groove, resulting in a less user-friendly and less than ideal experience.

[0003] Current push-button locks are prone to jamming and interference issues. After the push-button springs back, it rises above the outer plane of the hook lock. When two sliding door / window sashes open and close, the edge of one of them may collide with the hook lock's lifting mechanism, causing damage to both the hook lock and the door / window sash. This can even lead to the hook lock's opening and closing function failing, rendering it ineffective. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a push-pull lock with a superior user experience.

[0006] Specifically, the travel track groove is in a closed loop shape. When the pressing operation member is pressed relative to the housing, the driving part can slide unidirectionally relative to the travel track groove. At the same time, the transmission member slides in conjunction with the unlocking or locking direction.

[0010] When the driving part slides from the second locking point to the third locking point, the transmission component resets in the reverse direction.

[0011] When the pressing actuation element is released, and the driving part slides from the third locking point to the first locking point, both the transmission element and the pressing actuation element return to their initial positions.

[0012] Specifically, the driving part is a protrusion or a protrusion, the first locking point and the second locking point are connected by a first travel track, the second locking point and the third locking point are connected by a second travel track, and the third locking point and the first locking point are connected by a third travel track;

[0015] Specifically, the first travel track, the second travel track, and the third travel track are arranged in a triangle and connected end to end to form the travel track groove.

[0016] Specifically, the first locking component includes a first rotating locking component rotatably connected to the pressing operation member and a first spring connected to the pressing operation member and abutting against the first rotating locking component; or, the first locking component is a first spring sheet.

[0017] The second locking component includes a second rotation locking member rotatably connected to the pressing actuating member and a second spring connected to the pressing actuating member and abutting against the second rotation locking member; or, the second locking component is a second spring sheet.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0035] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may have an intervening component present. When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a push-pull type lifting lock, including a housing 10, a transmission member 20 that can slide along the locking / unlocking direction, and a pressing operation member 30 that can be pressed and drive the transmission member 20. The transmission member 20 is connected to the housing 10; the locking / unlocking direction can be the length direction of the housing 10. Figure 3 The X direction in the middle), the pressing direction of the pressing control 30 ( Figure 3The Y direction (in the case of the housing 10) can be along the depth direction (perpendicular to the length direction). The transmission member 20 is provided with a drive part 210, and the pressing operation member 30 has a travel track groove 310. The pressing operation member 30 is connected to the housing 10, and the pressing operation member 30 is linked with the transmission member 20 through the drive part 210 and the travel track groove 310. When the pressing operation member 30 is pressed and slides, the travel track groove 310 causes the drive part 210 to slide to a set locking point, thereby switching the locking and unlocking state of the transmission member 20. Its structure is reliable, and the user can press it inward ( Figure 3 The locking and unlocking mechanism is achieved by pressing in the middle (Y direction), replacing the existing technology that uses a toggle switch. This method is less strenuous, more user-friendly, and provides a better user experience.

[0037] Alternatively, as an equivalent alternative, the transmission member 20 is provided with a travel track groove, the pressing operation member 30 has a drive unit, the pressing operation member 30 is connected to the housing 10, and the pressing operation member 30 and the transmission member 20 are linked through the drive unit and the travel track groove. When the pressing operation member is pressed and slides, the travel track groove causes the drive unit to slide to a set locking point, thereby switching the locking / unlocking state of the transmission member 20. The user can then press the drive unit inward (…). Figure 3 The locking and unlocking can be achieved by pressing the pressing control 30 in the middle (Y direction), which can also replace the existing technology of using a toggle switch up and down. The operation is less strenuous, more user-friendly, and provides a better user experience.

[0038] Specifically, the travel track groove 310 is in the form of a closed loop (closed annular groove). When the pressing operation member 30 is pressed relative to the housing 10, the driving part 210 can slide unidirectionally along the travel track groove 310. At the same time, the transmission member 20 slides in conjunction with the unlocking or locking direction. When the pressing operation member 30 is released, the transmission member 20 resets.

[0039] Specifically, the travel track groove 310 has a first locking point 301, a second locking point 302 and a third locking point 303. The drive unit 210 can stop at the first locking point 301 and can slide cyclically along the first locking point 301, the second locking point 302, the third locking point 303 and the first locking point 301 in sequence.

[0040] Specifically, when the drive unit 210 is located at the first locking point 301, both the transmission member 20 and the pressing operation member 30 are in their initial positions (e.g., ...). Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the transmission component 20 is in a locked state at this time;

[0041] When the pressing actuating member 30 is pressed inward, the pressing actuating member 30 slides inward, and the driving protrusion slides from the first locking point 301 to the second locking point 302, (e.g.) Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the transmission component 20 slides in the positive direction of the unlocking direction. Figure 3 When the first locking point 301 slides to the second locking point 302 (positive direction in the X direction, i.e. upward), the transmission component 20 is in the unlocked state, and the door and window can be opened at this time.

[0042] When the drive unit 210 slides from the second locking point 302 to the third locking point 303, the transmission member 20 reverses and resets. Figure 3 The X direction is reversed, i.e. downwards (e.g.) Figure 7 , Figure 8 (as shown);

[0043] When the pressing actuation element 30 is released, and the driving part 210 slides from the third locking point 303 to the first locking point 301 (e.g.) Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, both the transmission member 20 and the pressing operation member 30 return to their initial positions. By pressing the pressing operation member 30 and causing it to elastically reset, the transmission member 20 can be switched between an unlocked state and a locked state.

[0044] Specifically, the driving part 210 can be a protrusion or a protrusion that can extend into the travel track groove 310. When the pressing operation member 30 is pressed, the transmission member 20 can slide through the linkage between the driving part 210 and the travel track groove 310. The transmission member 20 can be fixedly connected to a shift fork or equipped with a shift fork structure. The first locking point 301 and the second locking point 302 are connected by the first travel track 311, the second locking point 302 and the third locking point 303 are connected by the second travel track 312, and the third locking point 303 and the first locking point 301 are connected by the third travel track 313.

[0045] The pressing operation member 30 is provided with a first locking member 321 that allows the driving part 210 to pass unidirectionally from the first locking point 301 through the first travel track 311, a second locking member 322 that allows the driving part 210 to pass unidirectionally from the second locking point 302 through the second travel track 312, and a third locking member 323 that allows the driving part 210 to pass unidirectionally from the third locking point 303 through the third travel track 313; thus, it can prevent the driving part 210 from retracting from the second locking point 302 to the first locking point 301, and it can also prevent the driving part 210 from retracting from the third locking point 303 to the second locking point 302, and it can also prevent the driving part 210 from retracting from the first locking point 301 to the third locking point 303.

[0046] The first locking component 321 is located on one side of the first travel track 311, the second locking component 322 is located on one side of the second travel track 312, and the third locking component 323 is located on one side of the third travel track 313.

[0047] Specifically, the first travel track 311, the second travel track 312, and the third travel track 313 are arranged in a triangle and connected end to end to form the travel track groove 310. In this embodiment, the first travel track 311, the second travel track 312, and the third travel track 313 are of equal length and are arranged in an equilateral triangle. The three vertices of the aforementioned (equilateral) triangle are the first locking point 301, the second locking point 302, and the third locking point 303, respectively. In this embodiment, along the pressing direction of the pressing operation member 30, the pressing surface of the pressing operation member 30 is defined as the surface. The first locking point 301 is located away from the surface, and the second locking point 302 and the third locking point 303 are equidistant from the surface. The second locking point 302 is closer to the unlocking direction of the transmission member 20 than the third locking point 303 (the line connecting the second locking point 302 and the third locking point 303 is parallel to the pressing surface of the pressing operation member 30). The drive unit 210 can slide to the three positions of the first locking point 301, the second locking point 302, and the third locking point 303 and perform a unidirectional cyclic operation to realize the cyclic opening and closing of the transmission member 20.

[0048] Specifically, the first locking component 321 includes a first rotation locking component rotatably connected to the pressing operation component 30 and a first spring 324 connected to the pressing operation component 30 and abutting against the first rotation locking component. Alternatively, the first locking component 321 may be a first spring sheet. The side of the first rotation locking component or the first spring sheet near the first locking point may be an inclined surface, and the other side may be a vertical surface or a reverse inclined surface, so that the driving part 210 can only drive the first rotation locking component to rotate from the inclined surface side.

[0049] The second locking component 322 includes a second rotation locking member rotatably connected to the pressing operation member 30 and a second spring connected to the pressing operation member 30 and abutting against the second rotation locking member. Alternatively, the second locking component 322 may be a second spring sheet. The side of the second rotation locking member or the second spring sheet near the second locking point may be an inclined plane, and the other side may be a vertical plane or a reverse inclined plane, so that the driving part 210 can only drive the second rotation locking member to rotate from the inclined plane side.

[0050] The third locking component 323 includes a third rotation locking member rotatably connected to the pressing actuating member 30 and a third spring 326 connected to the pressing actuating member 30 and abutting against the third rotation locking member; alternatively, the third locking component 323 may be a third spring sheet. Similarly, the side of the third rotation locking member or the third spring sheet closest to the second locking point may be an inclined plane, and the other side may be a vertical plane or a reverse inclined plane, so that the driving unit 210 can only drive the second rotation locking member to rotate from one side of the inclined plane.

[0051] Specifically, a pressing guide structure is provided between the pressing operation member 30 and the housing 10. When the pressing operation member 30 is pressed, under the action of the pressing guide structure, the pressing operation member 30 slides into the housing 10 and simultaneously slides in the unlocking direction of the transmission member 20.

[0052] Specifically, the pressing guide structure includes an inclined groove 306 disposed on the pressing operating member 30 and a connecting shaft 111 disposed on the housing 10. The connecting shaft 111 passes through the inclined groove 306, which faces the unlocking sliding direction of the transmission member 20. At least two sets of inclined grooves 306 and connecting shafts 111 are respectively provided.

[0053] In specific applications, a return spring can also be connected to the transmission component 20 and / or the pressing operation component 30.

[0054] Specifically, the housing 10 can be a profile or a die-cast metal part, etc., having two opposing first sidewalls and a panel wall connected to the first sidewalls. The panel wall can be provided with a pressing window, through which the user can press the pressing operation member 30. The pressing operation member 30 has two opposing second sidewalls and a pressing wall connected to the second sidewalls. The second sidewalls are located between the two first sidewalls, and the pressing wall is located inside the panel wall. The second sidewalls can be in contact with the first sidewalls. The two ends of the connecting shaft 111 can be fixed to the two first sidewalls. The first sidewalls can be planar or stepped. After the pressing operation member 30 rebounds, it will not be higher than the outer plane. When the two sliding door sashes are opened and closed, the pressing operation member 30 is prevented from being hit by the window sash, thereby eliminating the problem of opening and closing function failure. The transmission member 20 is located between the two second sidewalls. The transmission component 20 can be a metal part, which can be plate-shaped, block-shaped or profile-shaped. The drive part 210 can be a cylindrical protrusion integrally formed on both sides of the transmission component 20. The travel track groove 310 can be set on the opposite side of the second side wall.

[0055] The push-to-open sliding lock provided in this invention uses a push-to-open method to realize the opening and closing function of doors and windows, replacing the existing technology of using a toggle switch. The operation is more convenient and ergonomic, the operation is less strenuous, the operation is more user-friendly, and the user experience is better.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
