[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment proposes a locking device for the lower part of a rail vehicle door, including a base 1, a guide shaft 12, a slider 4, a roller 7, a connecting arm 3, a drive arm 2, a limiting member 9, a pin 5, a first pin 6, and a second pin 10.

[0034] The base 1 is a fixed component that supports the entire locking device. The base 1 is mounted on the vehicle body, and a guide shaft 12 is provided on the base 1. In this embodiment, the guide shaft 12 is cylindrical; however, in other embodiments, the guide shaft 12 can also be a prism. The slider 4 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 12.

[0035] Specifically, the base 1 includes a base portion 111 and a support portion 112 located on the base portion 111. The guide shaft 12 is located on the top surface of the support portion 112, and the cross section of the base 1 perpendicular to the axis of the guide shaft 12 is convex. The base 1 is also used to support the slider 4.

[0036] The length of the guide shaft 12 is greater than the length of the base 1, and one end of the guide shaft 12 is flush with one end of the base 1.

[0037] The slider 4 includes a sliding part 41, on which a groove 411 and an opening groove 412 are provided. The groove 411 slides in contact with the guide shaft 12, the two groove walls 4121 of the opening groove 412 slide in contact with the two side surfaces 1121 of the supporting part 112, and the lower surface 413 of the sliding part 41 slides in contact with the upper surface 1111 of the base part 111. This arrangement enables the slider 4 to slide stably and smoothly on the base 1.

[0038] For ease of processing and installation, the planes containing the two sides 1121 of the support portion 112 intersect, and the distance between the two sides 1121 of the support portion 112 gradually decreases from bottom to top. The planes containing the two groove walls 4121 of the opening groove 412 intersect, and the distance between the two groove walls 4121 of the opening groove 412 gradually increases in the direction from the axis of the guide shaft to the generatrix.

[0039] The slider 4 includes a cantilever 43 for mounting the roller 7, the cantilever 43 protruding from the sliding part 41.

[0040] Roller 7 is mounted on slider 4 and is used for assembly with the door panel guide rail.

[0041] The roller 7 has a roller mounting seat 71, which is connected to the cantilever 43 by a connecting block 44. The upper surface of the cantilever 43 and the upper surface of the roller mounting seat 71 are higher than the upper surface of the connecting block 44. The roller mounting seat 71, the connecting block 44 and the upper surface of the roller mounting seat 71 form a groove.

[0042] The connecting arm 3 is rotatably connected to the slider 4 via the second pin 10.

[0043] Specifically, the connecting arm 3 includes two opposing L-shaped first connecting parts 31 and second connecting parts 32. The first end of the L-shaped first connecting part 31 is connected to the driving arm 2 through the first pin 6, and the second ends of the two L-shaped first connecting parts 31 are connected through the second connecting parts 32. The slider 4 includes a U-shaped connecting arm assembly part 42. The corner of the L-shaped first connecting part 31 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped connecting arm assembly part 42 of the slider 4 through the second pin 10.

[0044] The drive arm 2 is rotatably connected to the guide shaft 12 via the pin 5, and the drive arm 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting arm 3 via the first pin 6.

[0045] Specifically, the drive arm 2 includes two opposing L-shaped drive parts 21 and a connecting part 22. The first end of the L-shaped drive part 21 is rotatably connected to the guide shaft 12 via a pin 5. The second ends of the two L-shaped drive parts 21 are connected via the connecting part 22. The corner of the L-shaped drive part 21 is rotatably connected to the connecting arm 3 via a first pin 6.

[0046] The drive arm 2 is provided with a mounting plate 211 at a certain angle to the drive arm 2. The mounting plate 211 is located between the pin 5 and the first pin 6. The mounting plate 211 is provided with a connecting shaft 8. The drive mechanism drives the connecting shaft 8 to move up and down, thereby driving the drive arm 2 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction.

[0047] The limiting component 9 is located on the base 1.

[0048] Specifically, the base portion 111 is provided with a limit member mounting portion 113 for mounting the limit member 9, and the limit member mounting portion 113 and the base portion 111 are T-shaped.

[0049] The drive mechanism is used to rotate the drive arm 2 forward until the center of the first pin 6 is below the line connecting the center of the second pin 10 and the center of the pin shaft 5. At this point, the door is in the inserted state (closed state), and the limiting member 9 restricts the connecting arm 3, keeping it in the locked state. The external force acting on the door causes the drive arm 2 to tend to rotate forward. Because the limiting member 9 restricts the connecting arm 3, the drive arm 2 cannot rotate, thus ensuring the door is in the inserted state. Figure 7 As shown. The drive mechanism is also used to drive the drive arm 2 to rotate in the opposite direction until the center of the first pin 6 is higher than the line connecting the center of the second pin 10 and the center of the pin shaft 5, at which point the door is in the pushed-out state (open state), as shown. Figure 8 As shown.

[0050] When the door system is locked, the drive mechanism drives the drive arm 2 to rotate clockwise along the pin 5 via the connecting shaft 8, and drives the slider 4 to slide along the guide shaft 12 via the connecting arm 3.

[0051] When the door system is unlocked, the drive mechanism drives the drive arm 2 to rotate counterclockwise along the pin 5 via the connecting shaft 8, and drives the slider 4 to slide along the guide shaft 12 via the connecting arm 3.

[0052] This locking device works in conjunction with the door leaf guide rail, with roller 7 embedded within the door leaf guide rail. The mechanism works as follows: during the sliding action, roller 7 drives the door leaf to perform the sliding action; during the sliding action, the roller rolls within the door leaf guide rail to perform the sliding action.

[0053] The locking device in this embodiment is characterized by its simple and practical operation, high reliability, strong controllability, and small footprint. It is suitable for use in densely populated and complex environments such as rail transit vehicles.

[0054] This embodiment also proposes a rail vehicle, including a door panel and the aforementioned lower locking device for the rail vehicle door panel, and a sliding door device is also provided on the upper part of the door panel. The drive mechanism of the lower locking device can be linked with the drive mechanism of the upper sliding door device to achieve synchronous locking and unlocking.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by the present invention.
