Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of container lock disassembly and assembly, and in particular to a clamp for disassembly and assembly within a container. Background Art
[0002] Containers are large containers with large storage space and are easy to transport. They are widely used. Due to the frequent transportation of containers, containers are usually quickly locked or unlocked with carriers such as cabins or vehicles through twist locks. There are many types of twist locks, one of which is the cabin lock. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a lock block 200, a lock head 100, and a lever 110. The lever 110 is mounted on the lock head 100, forming the opening and closing component of the lock. The lock head 100 is rotatably mounted on the lock block 200. In actual use, the upper end surface of the lock block 200 abuts against the carrier, and the upper section of the lock head 100 is inserted into the mounting hole and positioned within the container. Turning the lever 110 rotates the lock head 100. After the lever 110 rotates 90 degrees, the lock head moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. The lever 110 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the lock head from the unlocked position to the locked position.
[0003] However, if Figure 1 As shown, the lever 110 forms an angle with the lock head 100 and extends from an opening in the sidewall of the lock block 200. When the lock head is in the locked position (perpendicular to the lock block), the lever 110 is positioned diagonally, near one side of the lock block, with only a narrow unlocking gap 120 between it and the lock block. When the lever 110 rotates past 90 degrees, it moves closer to the other side of the lock block, again with only a narrow unlocking gap 120 between it and the other side of the lock block. In other words, both end positions of the lever 110 are close to the lock block, with a very small unlocking gap 120. Furthermore, since the lock is a casting, manufacturing tolerances are present, and deformation occurs during use, which can result in one of the two unlocking gaps 120 being smaller than the preset gap. Consequently, the size and actual position of the unlocking gap 120 vary from lock to lock.
[0004] If the lock is automatically unlocked using a device, it is difficult to accurately insert the unlocking tool into the unlocking gap between the lever and the locking block of each lock to push the lever. Therefore, there is currently no suitable clamp to automatically disassemble and install such locks. Disassembly and installation must be done manually, which is very inefficient, or with other less suitable clamps, which not only needs to be improved in efficiency but also often results in disassembly and installation problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present application is committed to providing a cabin lock disassembly and assembly fixture, which overcomes the problem of a small unlocking gap on some locks. For each lever-type lock, there is at least one unlocking component that can be accurately inserted into the unlocking gap of the lock to smoothly disassemble and assemble the lock. There is no need for repeated adjustment or inability to insert the unlocking gap. Not only does it realize the automatic disassembly and assembly of the lever-type lock, but it can also accurately and quickly disassemble and assemble each lock with different unlocking gaps, significantly improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency, and solving the problem in the prior art that this type of lock that is disassembled and assembled by rotating the lever close to the lock block is not easy to automatically disassemble and assemble.
[0006] The present application provides a cabin lock disassembly and assembly fixture, comprising:
[0007] A base, used to connect to the fixed part of the power device and provided with an operating position for accommodating a part of the lock;
[0008] A guide mechanism, provided on the base, guides the lock and positions the lock in the operating position;
[0009] an unlocking mechanism, rotatably arranged relative to the base, comprising an unlocking component for inserting into the unlocking portion of the lock located in the operating position, wherein the unlocking component is floatable in the direction in which the lock is inserted into the operating position;
[0010] Wherein, at least one of the unlocking components can be inserted into the unlocking portion of the lock in the operating position and rotated under the drive of the power device to push the opening and closing component of the lock.
[0011] In a possible implementation manner, the unlocking component is a sheet, and includes a connected body segment and a blade segment.
[0012] In a possible embodiment, it further includes: a transmission disk, which is rotatably arranged on the base and is used for transmission connection with the power member of the power device, and the unlocking component is floatingly arranged on the transmission disk.
[0013] In a possible embodiment, the unlocking mechanism also includes: a first guide column, which is arranged on the transmission disk; a floating block, which is sleeved on the first guide column, and the unlocking component is fixed on the floating block and moves along the axial direction of the first guide column; a first elastic member, one end of which is against the floating block and the other end is against the transmission disk.
[0014] In one possible embodiment, the guide mechanism includes: a guide block, which is used to connect with the lock and is floatably arranged to receive the lock from a position higher than the base top cover and position the lock to the operating position as the lock moves.
[0015] In a possible embodiment, the guide mechanism further includes: a second guide column, the guide block is sleeved on the second guide column; a fixed block is sleeved on the second guide column, one of the fixed block and the guide block is arranged to slide relative to the second guide column, and the other is fixedly connected to the second guide column; a second elastic member, one end of which is against the guide block and the other end is against the fixed block.
[0016] In a possible embodiment, the guide block includes: a limiting portion, located below the top cover of the base and used to abut against the top cover of the base; and a docking portion, protruding from the limiting portion so that the top end can be higher than the top cover of the base.
[0017] In a possible implementation manner, two guide blocks are provided, and the two guide blocks are circumferentially distributed on both sides of the base axis and arranged opposite to each other.
[0018] In a possible implementation, it further includes: a reset mechanism, which drives the transmission disc to reset.
[0019] In a possible embodiment, the reset mechanism includes: two third elastic members arranged at intervals, and the two ends of the two third elastic members are respectively connected to the base or the guide mechanism distributed on both sides of the base; a reset block is fixed on the transmission disk, located between the two third elastic members, and is used to spread the two elastic members after rotating with the transmission disk to cause the two third elastic members to elastically deform.
[0020] In a possible embodiment, an annular positioning groove is provided on the reset block, and the annular positioning groove includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment arranged in a first direction, and a third groove segment and a fourth groove segment arranged in a second direction; when the transmission disk is in the original position, parts of the two third elastic members are respectively embedded in the first groove segment and the second groove segment, and when the transmission disk is in the disassembly position after rotation, parts of the two third elastic members are respectively embedded in the third groove segment and the fourth groove segment; the spacing between the third groove segment and the fourth groove segment is greater than the spacing between the first groove segment and the second groove segment.
[0021] In a possible embodiment, the transmission disc is rotatably connected to the base via a rotary support structure, and a docking portion is provided on the transmission disc for detachably docking with a power transmission component connected to the power device.
[0022] The cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture provided herein comprises a base, a guide mechanism, and an unlocking mechanism. The unlocking mechanism includes an unlocking component that is inserted into the unlocking portion of the lock and, when rotated by power, pushes the lock's opening and closing components, thereby assembling or disassembling the lock. When disassembling or assembling a lever-type lock, the unlocking component is aligned with and inserted into the unlocking slot on one side of the lever end of the lock, and then the lever is pushed to open or close the lever-type lock. The guide mechanism aligns the lock and unlocking component and positions the lock to prevent movement. Furthermore, the unlocking component is designed to float in the direction of insertion and, under pressure, will move downward to avoid movement. For example, when the lock block of a lever-type lock is inserted into the base, if the unlocking slot is of the correct size, the unlocking components on both sides can accurately insert into the unlocking slot on the lock and, together, push the lever clockwise or counterclockwise to unlock or lock the lock, thereby completing the assembly and disassembly of the lock. If one unlocking gap on the lock is small and the other is normal, when the lock block enters the base, the unlocking component on at least one side will be inserted into the normal unlocking gap, while the unlocking component on the other side opposite the smaller unlocking gap will be pressed by the lever or the lock block. As the lock enters, it will be pressed downward, avoiding the rotation path of the lever. When the unlocking component is driven to rotate, the lever can be smoothly pushed by the other set of unlocking components, and the lock can be smoothly disassembled and assembled.
[0023] It can be seen that the cabin lock disassembly and assembly fixture provided by the present application overcomes the factor that some locks have a small unlocking gap. For each lever-type lock, there is at least one unlocking component that can be accurately inserted into the unlocking gap of the lock to smoothly disassemble and assemble the lock. There is no need for repeated adjustment or inability to insert the unlocking gap. Not only does it realize the automatic disassembly and assembly of the lever-type lock, but it can also accurately and quickly disassemble and assemble each lock with different unlocking gaps, which significantly improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency and solves the problem in the prior art that locks of this type that are disassembled and assembled by rotating the lever close to the lock block are not easy to automatically disassemble and assemble.

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0035] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-8The present application provides a fixture for disassembling and assembling a lock in a cabin, comprising a base 1, a guide mechanism 3, and an unlocking mechanism 4. The base 1 serves as a supporting base and a docking base for the lock. The guide mechanism 3 and the unlocking mechanism 4 are both mounted on the base 1. The base 1 is also used to connect to the fixed portion of a power unit so that the power unit of the power unit can be stably connected to the unlocking mechanism 4 for power transmission. Typically, the base 1 is connected to the power unit, and the entire fixture and power unit are fixed to a moving mechanism, such as the mobile end of a manipulator, for automatic movement as a whole. For example, when disassembling a lock, the entire fixture is moved to the lock installation location. Typically, the fixture is located below the lock, with the base 1 facing the lock. The fixture is then moved toward the lock's carrier, typically upward, in the direction described in actual use, to dock with the lock, so that the lock block 200 is embedded in the base 1, and the lock is disassembled and assembled using the unlocking component 41.
[0036] The unlocking mechanism 4 includes an unlocking component 41 that is inserted into the unlocking portion of the lock (the location capable of pushing the lock's opening and closing components, such as the unlocking slit 120 on a lever-type lock). Driven by a power device, it pushes the lock's opening and closing components (the components that unlock or lock the lock, such as the lever 110 on a lever-type lock), thereby automatically opening and closing the lock. When the clamp of the present application is used to disassemble or assemble a lever-type lock, the unlocking component 41 is inserted into the lock's unlocking slit 120 and pushes the lever 110.
[0037] There is a space on the base to accommodate the locking block 200, and this spatial position is called the operating position. The position of the unlocking component 41 is matched with the operating position, that is, the unlocking part on the operating position, such as the unlocking gap 120, is located, so that when the locking block 200 enters the operating position, the unlocking component 41 can be inserted into the unlocking part, such as the unlocking gap 120.
[0038] The guide mechanism 3 is used to guide the lock block 200 and position the lock block 200 to the operating position on the base 1 during the docking process between the lock and the base 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, it plays the role of aligning the lock and the unlocking component 41, so that the unlocking part, such as the unlocking gap 120, is opposite to the unlocking component 41 and the unlocking component 41 can be inserted into the normal gap size. At the same time, the guide mechanism 3 can also position the lock to prevent the lock from moving during the disassembly and assembly process.
[0039] For example, when disassembling and assembling a lever-type lock, two groups of unlocking components 41 may be provided, and the two groups of unlocking components 41 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart, and the operating position is formed between the two groups of unlocking components 41. In other words, a space for the lock block 200 to be embedded is formed between the two groups of unlocking components 41, and the space forms the operating position, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the two sets of unlocking components 41 are used to align with the two unlocking gaps 120 at both ends of the lock lever 110 in the operating position and insert into the unlocking gaps 120, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the lock is driven to rotate in the same direction along the preset direction to push the lever 110, so that the lock head rotates to realize the disassembly and assembly of the lock.
[0040] At the same time, the unlocking component 41 is designed to float (a floating design means that it moves downward when under pressure and returns to its original position when the pressure is released), and it floats in the direction in which the lock is inserted, which is also the direction in which the lock and the base 1 are connected. Therefore, when disassembling or assembling a lever-type lock, if a certain unlocking gap 120 is small and the unlocking component 41 corresponding to it cannot be inserted into the unlocking gap, it will be pressed by the lever 110 or the lock block 200 and move downward to avoid it. It will not block the rotation path of the lever 110 and will not affect the rotation of the lever 110 under the push of other unlocking components 41.
[0041] In actual use, a lever-type lock is used as an example for detailed description. When the clamp and the lock are relative and close to each other, the lock block 200 of the lock contacts the guide mechanism 3. As the base 1 and the lock approach each other, under the guidance and restraint of the guide mechanism 3, part or all of the lock block 200 enters the operating position between the two sets of unlocking parts 41. The two sets of unlocking parts 41 are respectively opposite to the two unlocking gaps 120 on both sides of the lock block 200. Figure 2 As shown. If the two unlocking gaps on the lock are of normal size, the two sets of unlocking parts 41 can accurately match the unlocking gaps on the lock. When the lock enters the operating position, the two sets of unlocking parts 41 can be inserted into the two unlocking gaps respectively as the lock enters. When the top cover 11 of the base 1 and the carrier on which the lock is located are abutted, after the lock is fully entered, the lock block 200 is positioned in the operating position and is located in the space between the two sets of unlocking parts 41. It cannot rotate under the constraint of the guide mechanism 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the two sets of unlocking components 41 have been inserted into their corresponding unlocking gaps. The power device then drives the two sets of unlocking components 41 to rotate in the same direction along a preset direction, pushing the lever 110 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Furthermore, the locking block 200 is constrained by the positioning of the guide mechanism 3 and cannot rotate. This allows the lock to be unlocked or locked. For example, rotating the lock head from the unlocked position to the locked position achieves automatic locking and installation of the lock; rotating the lock head from the locked position to the unlocked position, and then pulling the lock out of the mounting hole on the carrier through the downward movement mechanism of the entire clamp, achieves automatic removal of the lock.
[0042] If one unlocking gap on the lock is small and the other is normal, then when the lock block 200 enters the operating position, the unlocking component 41 on at least one side will be inserted into the unlocking gap of normal size, while the unlocking component 41 on the other side opposite to the smaller unlocking gap will be pressed by the lever 110 or the lock block 200, and will be pressed down as the lock enters, thus avoiding the unlocking component from blocking the rotation path of the lever 110. When the lock is fully inserted, one set of unlocking components is inserted into the unlocking gap, and the other set is pressed under the lever 110. Figure 2 As shown, in state A, the unlocking member 41 is inserted into the unlocking gap, while in state B, the unlocking member 41 is pressed against the unlocking gap. When the unlocking mechanism 4 or the unlocking member 41 is driven to rotate, one group pushes the lever 110 while the other group avoids it, allowing the lever 110 to be pushed smoothly, allowing the lock to be installed and disassembled smoothly.
[0043] Furthermore, in actual use, if a set of unlocking components 41 is pressed downward to avoid the unlocking gap, resulting in a portion of the area facing the lever 110 or the lock block 200, when the power device drives the unlocking components 41 to start rotating, the unlocking components 41 that are avoiding the unlocking will also rotate. If the unlocking components 41 are pressed by the lever 110, they will always be pressed by the lever 110 during rotation and rotate synchronously; after disassembly and assembly are completed, the unlocking components 41 that are pressed will rebound and reset for the next disassembly and assembly. If the unlocking components 41 are pressed by the lock block 200, after rotating a certain angle, the unlocking components 41 will break away from the pressure of the lock block 200, rebound, and insert into the already enlarged gap (the original gap will be enlarged because the lever 110 rotates away from its initial position), and then the two sets of unlocking components 41 will jointly push the lever 110 to rotate.
[0044] Of course, if there is only one unlocking component 41, when the lock block 200 is embedded in the operating position, the unlocking component 41 is opposite to one of the two unlocking gaps 120. If the unlocking gap 120 is smaller, the unlocking component 41 cannot be inserted, and avoidance will be formed. At this time, the power device can drive the unlocking component 41 to rotate relative to the lock. When it rotates to a position opposite to the other unlocking gap 120, the unlocking component 41 pops up and inserts into the unlocking gap 120, and then can smoothly push the lever 110 to rotate to unlock or lock, and can also realize the smooth disassembly and assembly of the lever type lock.
[0045] As can be seen, under normal circumstances, the unlocking component 41 can work smoothly, pushing the lever 110 to disassemble and assemble the lock. Even if there is a problem with the lock gap, the clamp provided by this application can successfully disassemble and assemble the lever type lock. Of course, if both unlocking gaps on the lock are too small, it cannot be used and will be rejected at the factory. If deformation occurs during use, resulting in both unlocking gaps being too small, it will also be promptly rejected.
[0046] With this arrangement, the cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture provided by the present application overcomes the problem of a small unlocking gap in some locks. For each lever-type lock, at least one unlocking component 41 can be accurately inserted into the unlocking gap of the lock, allowing for smooth lock assembly and disassembly, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments or the inability to insert the unlocking gap. This not only enables automatic assembly and disassembly of lever-type locks, but also allows for precise and rapid assembly and disassembly of locks with varying unlocking gaps, significantly improving assembly and disassembly efficiency and resolving the problem in the prior art that locks that are assembled and disassembled by rotating the lever 110 near the lock block 200 are difficult to automatically assemble and disassemble. Furthermore, the cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture provided by the present application also allows for smooth automatic assembly and disassembly of other types of locks that require an opening and closing component to be moved.
[0047] In some embodiments, the base 1 is cylindrical and includes a cylinder 12 and a top cover 11, and the cylinder cavity is a clamp cavity. The top cover 11 is used to abut against the carrier of the lock. The top cover 11 has an opening for the lock block 200 to partially or completely enter the clamp cavity and be positioned in the operating position, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two sets of unlocking components 41 are distributed on both sides of the central axis of the fixture cavity and rotate around the central axis of the fixture cavity.
[0048] In some embodiments, a transmission disc 2 is mounted on the base 1 and is rotatably mounted on the base 1, with its rotational centerline aligned with the central axis of the fixture cavity. An unlocking mechanism 4 is mounted on the transmission disc 2, with unlocking components 41 axially floatingly mounted on the transmission disc 2. The power unit of the power device rotates the transmission disc 2, thereby driving the unlocking components 41 to rotate relative to the base 1 and the guide mechanism 3.
[0049] In order to facilitate the insertion of the unlocking component 41 into the unlocking gap 120, the unlocking component 41 is a sheet body, in a sheet shape, which can be called an unlocking block, and includes a connected body section and a blade section; the blade section has an inclined surface and its thickness gradually decreases from bottom to top, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the top of the blade segment is thinnest, making it easier to align with the unlocking slit 120 and insert into the unlocking slit 120. The lower end of the blade segment gradually thickens, and the unlocking component 41 also has a body segment, which enhances the strength of the entire component. It is not easy to break when pushing the lever 110, and the power is transmitted from the body segment to the blade segment, making the power transmission more stable.
[0050] like Figure 2-4 As shown, when two sets of unlocking components 41 are provided, the inclined surfaces of the blade sections in the two sets of unlocking components 41 are arranged opposite to each other. Typically, one set of unlocking components 41 includes an unlocking block.
[0051] The unlocking mechanism 4 also includes a first guide post 43, a floating block 42, and a first elastic member. The first guide post 43 is vertically mounted on the transmission disc 2. The floating block 42 is sleeved onto the first guide post 43. The unlocking member 41 is fixed to the floating block 42 and moves axially along the first guide post 43 with the floating block 42. The first guide post 43 can be provided with one, two, three, or more. The first elastic member can be a spring, each with one end abutting the transmission disc 2 and the other end pushing against the floating block 42 and the unlocking member 41. This arrangement allows the unlocking member 41 to float only in the vertical direction, guided by the first guide post 43, preventing it from shifting or shaking. This ensures the accurate positioning of the unlocking member 41 and facilitates alignment between the unlocking member 41 and the unlocking gap of each lock to be disassembled. The sheet-shaped unlocking member 41 is fixed to the floating block 42 and floats under the support of the floating block 42, resulting in a high structural strength and stable power transmission.
[0052] Typically, the first guide post 43 is fixed on the transmission disk 2; the floating block 42 is slidably mounted on the first guide post 43. In some embodiments, the unlocking mechanism 4 further includes a reset post 44, and the first elastic member is mounted on the reset post 44. One end of the reset post 44 is fixedly connected to the floating block 42, and the other end passes through the avoidance hole on the transmission disk 2, and moves up and down relative to the transmission disk 2. In this way, the first guide post 43 plays a guiding role, and the reset post 44 and the first elastic member play a resetting role. At the same time, the reset post 44 is fixedly connected to the floating block 42, and floats up and down together with the floating block 42 and the unlocking component 41, such as Figure 2 As shown, the reset post 44 can be located directly below the unlocking component 41, providing structural reinforcement and stable support for the unlocking component 41. Without the reset post 44, only the first guide post 43 would be located to one side of the unlocking component 41, leaving the unlocking component 41 directly below unsupported. Therefore, in this embodiment, the reset post 44 ensures that the unlocking component 41 and the floating block 42 are both securely supported and capable of floating upward and downward, enhancing the structural strength of the unlocking component 41.
[0053] Of course, in some embodiments, the first guide post 43 may be fixed to the transmission plate 2; the floating block 42 may be slidably mounted on the first guide post 43; and the first elastic members may be mounted one by one on the first guide post 43, with one end of each elastic member abutting against the transmission plate 2 and the other end abutting against the floating block 42 and the unlocking member 41. In this case, the reset support 44 is unnecessary.
[0054] The guide mechanism 3 can be connected to the top cover 11 of the base 1, or can be connected to the cylinder of the base 1. In a preferred embodiment, the guide mechanism 3 is connected to the top cover 11 and fixed to be closer to the lock, thereby better guiding and positioning the lock.
[0055] The guide mechanism 3 is provided with a guide block 31, which is used to dock with the lock block 200 to position the lock. Figure 1 In the illustrated lock, the locking block 200 has grooves at both ends. A portion or the entirety of the guide block 31 is inserted into the grooves on the locking block 200 for docking to position the lock in the operating position.
[0056] Two guide blocks 31 are provided, symmetrically arranged along the axis of the base 1, for docking with the ends of the lock. The two guide blocks 31 act as a locking mechanism for the lock, effectively preventing the lock from tilting or shaking relative to the base 1. This allows the lock block 200 to be precisely positioned in the operating position, ensuring accurate alignment between the unlocking gap and the unlocking component 41, and also preventing the lock block 200 from rotating.
[0057] In some embodiments, the guide block 31 can be floated and can float in the direction of entry of the lock, which is also the axial direction of the base 1, and the top of the guide block 31 is higher than, that is, protrudes from, the top cover 11 of the base 1. Figure 5 As shown. In this way, during the docking process between the base 1 and the lock, the guide block 31 can dock with the lock block 200 earlier, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, when the locking block 200 has not yet entered the fixture cavity, the lock can be received from a position higher than the top cover 11 of the base 1, docked with the lock, and then pressed to move together with the locking block 200 for a distance until the base 1 docks with the lock carrier, so that the lock enters the fixture cavity at a suitable angle (the angle at which the unlocking gap can be aligned with the unlocking component 41) and is positioned in the operating position at the suitable angle, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 With this arrangement, the guide mechanism 3 is aligned with the locking block 200 before the locking block 200 enters the fixture cavity, and the locking block 200 can be positioned to the operating position with a more precise alignment angle.
[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide block 31 includes a limiting portion 311 and a docking portion 312. The limiting portion 311 is located below the top cover 11 of the base 1 and is used to abut against the top cover 11 of the base 1. In this way, the highest position of the guide block 31 can be limited. The docking portion 312 protrudes from the limiting portion 311. When the limiting portion 311 abuts against the top cover 11 of the base 1, the top end of the docking portion 312 is higher than the top cover 11 of the base 1. It can dock with the locking block 200 at a position higher than the top cover 11 of the base 1, guide the lock into the fixture cavity at a suitable angle, and then position the lock in the operating position.
[0059] The shape of the docking portion 312 matches the shape of the groove on the lock, preventing the lock from shaking or deflecting due to a gap between the lock and the guide block 31. The limiting portion 311 is plate-shaped, and the upper end surface fits against the top cover 11, providing high stability.
[0060] The guide mechanism 3 also includes a second guide post 32, a fixed block 33, and a second elastic member. The second guide post 32 is located above the transmission disc 2 and is spaced apart from the transmission disc 2. The guide block 31 and the fixed block 33 are both mounted on the second guide post 32, with one being fixedly connected to the second guide post 32 and the other sliding relative to the second guide post 32. When the guide block 31 slides relative to the second guide post 32 and the fixed block 33 is fixedly connected to the second guide post 32, the guide block 31 floats along the second guide post 32. When the guide block 31 is fixedly connected to the second guide post 32, the other end of the second guide post 32 passes through the avoidance hole in the fixed block 33. Constrained by the hole, the guide block 31 and the second guide post 32 move together and float axially. The second elastic member, with one end abutting against the guide block 31 and the other end abutting against the fixed block 33, drives the guide block 31 to reset. In this way, the guide mechanism 3 is suspended within the base 1, providing both fixed support and floating motion.
[0061] The second elastic member can be a spring, which can be mounted on the second guide post 32 or on another support, such as the support post 35. One end of the spring abuts against the fixing block 33 for fixation, while the other end pushes against the guide block 31, allowing it to float. The number of second guide posts 32 can be one, two, three, or more. The guiding action of the second guide posts 32 prevents the guide block 31 from deflecting, allowing it to accurately guide and position the locking block 200, ensuring that the unlocking gap on the locking block 200 and the unlocking component 41 are aligned.
[0062] In some embodiments, the guide mechanism 3 further includes a support column 35, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the base 1 and the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the fixed block 33, thereby securing the fixed block 33. A second guide column 32 is fixedly connected to the guide block 31, with its bottom end extending through a clearance hole in the fixed block 33 and axially floating within the hole. The second elastic member is a spring, which is mounted on the second guide column 32.
[0063] Of course, in some embodiments, the second guide post 32 may be fixed on the fixing block 33 , and the guide block 31 may be slidably mounted on the second guide post 32 and float along the second guide post 32 .
[0064] In some embodiments, the fixed block 33 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the guide block 31 is fixedly connected to the second guide post 32. The second guide post 32 passes through the fixed block 33 and, together with the guide block 31, floats relative to the fixed block 33. In some embodiments, at least two second guide posts 32 are provided, with the top end of one second guide post 32 fixedly connected to the base 1 and the bottom end fixedly connected to the fixed block 33. The other second guide post 32 is fixedly connected to the guide block 31 and passes through the avoidance hole in the fixed block 33. Together with the guide block 31, it floats axially relative to the fixed block 33 along the avoidance hole.
[0065] In some embodiments, the cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture further includes a reset mechanism 5, which resets the transmission plate 2, thereby resetting the unlocking component 41. This arrangement allows the unlocking component 41 to be reset without the need for a power device, saving energy. Furthermore, the reset mechanism 5 improves the accuracy of the unlocking component 41's return to its original position, preventing the unlocking component 41 from deviating from its original position during reset, which could prevent the lock from being successfully disassembled and assembled the next time.
[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the reset mechanism 5 includes a third elastic member 51 and a reset block 52. Two third elastic members 51 are spaced apart, with their ends connected to the base 1 or the guide mechanisms 3 located on either side of the base 1. For example, the ends of the two third elastic members 51 are connected to fixed posts fixed to the fixed block 33. The reset block 52 is fixed to the transmission disk 2, located between the two third elastic members 51. It is configured to spread the two elastic members apart as the transmission disk 2 rotates, causing them to elastically deform. When the unlocking component 41 is in its original position and the transmission disk 2 is at its original rotational angle, the third elastic members 51 are in their initial, undeformed state. When the transmission disk 2 rotates, the reset block 52 rotates accordingly, spreading the two third elastic members 51 apart and causing them to elastically deform. Thus, after the transmission disk 2 and unlocking component 41 are assembled and disassembled, the third elastic members 51 restore their elastic deformation, allowing the transmission disk 2, along with the unlocking mechanism 4, to rotate back to its original position. And under the action of the third elastic member 51, the unlocking mechanism 4 can accurately return to its original position (if the unlocking member 41 is offset relative to the original position, the third elastic member 51 will produce elastic deformation, which will then prompt the unlocking member 41 to return to the original position corresponding to the initial undeformed state of the third elastic member 51).
[0067] Through the above-mentioned reset mechanism 5, the unlocking component 41 can be accurately returned to its original position. In addition, the structure provided by this embodiment is simple, occupies little space, and will not block or interfere with the rotation of the unlocking mechanism 4 and the rotation of the lever 110.
[0068] When the reset block 52 is in its original position, its two sides in the first direction are in contact with or close to the two third elastic members 51. After rotation, its two sides in the second direction abut against the two third elastic members 51. The distance between the two sides in the first direction of the reset block 52 is smaller than the distance between the two sides in the second direction. The first direction can be the width direction, and the second direction can be the length direction.
[0069] Furthermore, the reset block 52 is provided with a positioning ring groove for partially embedding the two third elastic members 51, such as Figure 4As shown, in the original position, the two third elastic members 51 are partially embedded in the first group of segments of the positioning ring groove. After rotation, the two third elastic members 51 are partially embedded in the second group of segments of the positioning ring groove, and the reset block 52 opens the two third elastic members 51. Figure 8 As shown, the annular positioning groove 521 includes a first groove section 5211 and a second groove section 5212 arranged in the first direction, and a third groove section 5213 and a fourth groove section 5214 arranged in the second direction; when the transmission disc 2 is in the original position, the two third elastic members 51 are partially embedded in the first groove section 5211 and the second groove section 5212 respectively. When the transmission disc 2 is in the disassembly position after rotation, the two third elastic members 51 are partially embedded in the third groove section 5213 and the fourth groove section 5214 respectively. Among them, the distance between the third groove section 5213 and the fourth groove section 5214 ( Figure 8 The horizontal dimension of the reset block is greater than the distance between the first slot section 5211 and the second slot section 5212 ( Figure 8 Such a configuration can effectively prevent the third elastic member 51 from being separated from the reset block 52 without increasing the height of the reset block 52, that is, when the height of the reset block 52 can be relatively low.
[0070] The annular positioning groove 521 can be a directional groove or an octagonal groove, such as Figure 8 As shown, transition groove sections are provided between the first groove section 5211 and the third groove section 5213, between the first groove section 5211 and the fourth groove section 5214, between the second groove section 5212 and the third groove section 5213, and between the second groove section 5212 and the fourth groove section 5214. Each adjacent groove section is connected by a chamfered transition. This avoids sharp corners and jamming of the third elastic member 51. The provision of the transition groove sections also prevents the third elastic member 51 from having excessively large corners that would hinder smooth resetting.
[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the reset mechanism 5 may also be other structures, for example, including a fourth elastic member, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 1 and the other end is fixedly connected to the unlocking mechanism 4, such as the first guide column 43.
[0072] The transmission disc 2 can be rotatably connected to the base 1 through a rotary support structure. The rotary support structure includes a supporting protrusion provided on one of the transmission disc 2 and the base 1, and a rotary groove provided on the other and for the supporting protrusion to be embedded. The rotary groove is radially open along the transmission disc 2 and is U-shaped. There is a rotation gap between the supporting protrusion and the rotary groove. With this arrangement, the entire unlocking mechanism 4 and the transmission disc 2 are axially supported by the supporting protrusion, and the power transmission component of the power unit can be directly detachably plugged into the transmission disc 2 without the need for fixed connection; at the same time, the supporting protrusion is embedded in the U-shaped rotary groove, and is restricted by the upper and lower groove walls. The rotary support structure also has axial limiting properties, so that the transmission disc 2 will not produce axial misalignment when it rotates; the setting of the rotation gap allows the rotary support structure to limit the circumferential shaking and axial misalignment of the transmission disc 2 during rotation, and to prevent rotation jamming due to various errors.
[0073] The base 1 supports the transmission disc 2 and the unlocking mechanism 4. The transmission disc 2 is not supported by the power transmission component; the power transmission component simply rotates the transmission disc 2, resulting in smooth, rapid, and efficient power transmission. The transmission disc 2 can be provided with a docking portion to removably dock with a power transmission component connected to the power unit. For example, the transmission disc 2 can be provided with a docking hole for the power transmission component to pass through. The power transmission component simply needs to be inserted into the docking hole, and then, driven by the power unit, the transmission disc 2 can be rotated.
[0074] Typically, the cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture needs to be docked with a universal fixture. One side of the universal fixture's fixture base is connected to the power unit, and the other side is connected to the cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture's base 1. Therefore, the power transmission component is typically the universal fixture's power transmission component. For example, the power transmission component is a dial that is connected to the power output shaft of the power unit. The dial is equipped with a shift pin. When the fixture base 1 is fixedly connected to the universal fixture's fixture base, the shift pin extends into the docking hole on the transmission disk 2.
[0075] The base 1 also includes a docking flange 13, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. This sleeve-shaped docking flange 13 is designed to fit over and dock with the fixture seat of the universal fixture. The inner wall of the docking flange 13 is provided with a docking bevel and a positioning surface. This docking flange 13 allows for quick docking of the universal fixture with the cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture, simplifying operation and improving efficiency.
[0076] The present application also provides a lock assembly and disassembly system comprising a universal fixture and the cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture described in the above embodiments, which can be used to assemble and disassemble container locks. One side of the universal fixture's fixture base is fixedly connected to the fixed portion of the power unit, and the other side is fixedly connected to the base 1 of the cabin lock assembly and disassembly fixture. The universal fixture includes a power transmission member, one end of which is drivingly connected to the power unit's power output shaft, for example, and the other end of which is used to drive the rotation of an unlocking component 41, for example, which is plugged into a transmission disk 2.
[0077] With such a configuration, the lock assembly and disassembly system not only realizes the automatic disassembly and assembly of lever-type locks, but also eliminates the need for repeated adjustment or the inability to insert the lock into the unlocking gap. All locks with different unlocking gaps can be accurately and quickly disassembled and assembled, significantly improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency, and solving the problem in the prior art that such locks that are disassembled and assembled by rotating the lever close to the lock block are not easy to automatically disassemble and assemble. The derivation process of this beneficial effect is basically the same as the derivation process of the beneficial effect of the above-mentioned lock disassembly and assembly fixture, and will not be repeated here. At the same time, the fixation and power transmission of the cabin lock disassembly and assembly fixture are carried out by a universal fixture, which avoids the lock disassembly and assembly fixture from being directly connected to the power device, simplifies the structure of the cabin lock disassembly and assembly fixture, and also simplifies the replacement and use of the cabin lock disassembly and assembly fixture.
[0078] Since there are many types of locks used in containers, multiple types of lock removal fixtures are required. The lock disassembly and assembly system adopts a structural mode of universal fixture plus special disassembly and assembly fixture. One universal fixture can be connected to multiple special disassembly and assembly fixtures, which simplifies the installation and replacement of special disassembly and assembly fixtures, makes the operation more convenient, and makes the disassembly and assembly system easy to use.
