[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the locking mechanism 100 includes a base 110, a button 120, a rotary disk 130 and a connector 140. The button 120 and the rotary disk 130 are mounted on the base 110. There are two connectors 140, both connected to the rotary disk 130.

[0029] The base 110 is groove-shaped and is provided with a receiving groove 111. A pin 112 is provided on the base 110. The upper end of the pin 112 is located in the receiving groove 111, and the lower end passes through the base 110 and protrudes downward from the base 110. A protrusion 113 is provided on the pin 112. The base 110 is also provided with two through holes 114. A compression spring 115 is mounted on the pin 112. One end of the compression spring 115 is connected to the base 110. A blocking block 116 is also provided on the base 110. A second elastic device is also provided on the base 110. The second elastic device is a tension spring 118. One end of the tension spring 118 is connected to the base 110.

[0030] The button 120 is box-shaped and is provided with a groove 121. A sleeve 124 and two push rods 122 are provided in the groove 121. The two push rods 122 both extend from the sleeve 122 and protrude from the sleeve 122. The end of the push rod 122 is provided with a second inclined surface 123.

[0031] The button 120 snaps into the receiving groove 111. Two abutting rods 122 extend through the two through-holes 114 of the base 110. The other end of the compression spring 115 is connected to the button 120. The button 120 is configured to be pressed and raised. When the button 120 is pressed, the compression spring 115 is compressed, generating an elastic deformation force that causes the button 120 to rise.

[0032] The upper surface 131 of the rotating disc 130 is provided with two force bars 132. The force bars 132 protrude from the upper surface 131 and are provided with first inclined surfaces 133 at the ends. The lower surface 139 of the rotating disc 130 is provided with two fixing pins 134. The fixing pins 134 protrude from the lower surface 139 of the rotating disc 130. The circumferential surface 136 of the rotating disc 130 is provided with first elastic arms 135. The first elastic arms 135 are connected to the rotating disc 130 at one end and are provided freely at the other end and protrude from the circumferential surface 136 of the rotating disc 130. The rotating disc 130 is also provided with second elastic arms 137. The second elastic arms 137 are connected to the rotating disc 130 at one end and are provided freely at the other end and are provided with protruding blocks 138. The protruding blocks 138 protrude from the upper surface 131 of the rotating disc 130.

[0033] The rotating disc 130 is sleeved on the pin shaft 115 and can rotate around the pin shaft 115. The protruding block 113 clamps the rotating disc 130 to prevent it from falling. The force bars 131 are opposite to the abutting rods 122. When the button 120 is pressed, the first inclined surfaces 133 are in contact with the second inclined surfaces 123, the abutting rods 122 press the force bars 131, and the abutting rods 122 slide along the first inclined surfaces 133 to rotate the rotating disc 130. When the end of the first elastic arms 135 contacts the blocking block 116, the blocking block 116 prevents the rotating disc 130 from continuing to rotate. The protruding blocks 138 on the second elastic arms 137 abut against the base 110, so that the upper surface 131 of the rotating disc 130 is kept a gap from the base 110, preventing the contact surface from being too large to cause abrasion or too large to cause abnormal noise. The other end of the tension spring 118 is connected to the rotating disc 130. When the rotating disc 130 rotates, the tension spring 118 is stretched to generate elastic force. The elastic force of the tension spring 118 resets the rotating disc 130.

[0034] The rotating disc 130 is provided with two inserting pieces 140. One end of the inserting pieces 140 is sleeved on the fixing pins 134, and the other end is matched with the inserting holes 201 of the fixing structure 200. When the rotating disc 130 rotates, the inserting pieces 140 can be pulled to translate, so that the inserting pieces 140 are pulled out of the inserting holes 201. After the rotating disc 130 is reset by the tension spring 118, the inserting pieces 140 are inserted into the inserting holes 201 again.

[0035] The automobile glove box comprises the locking mechanism 100, and the locking mechanism 100 can lock the box body of the glove box.

[0036] The locking mechanism and the automobile glove box are connected with the box body of the glove box, the rotating disc is rotated by pressing the button, the plug-in part is pulled to translate when the rotating disc rotates, the plug-in part is withdrawn from the locking hole of the fixed part, the locking is released, and the box body of the glove box can be opened. The locking mechanism is simple in structure by cooperation of the abutting rod and the force rod, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are arranged to convert the linear movement of the button into the rotating movement of the rotating disc, the structure is simple, and the use is convenient. The first elastic device and the second elastic device are arranged to automatically reset the button and the rotating disc, the use is convenient. The first elastic arm is arranged to limit the rotating range of the rotating disc. The second elastic arm is arranged, the second elastic arm is provided with the protrusion, the contact surface between the rotating disc and the base is not too large, and the abnormal sound is not too large in the use process. The structure is simple, the use is convenient, and the operation is easy.
