Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of locking device technology, and more specifically to a locking device for electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] Chassis and cabinets are widely used in the development of modern electronic equipment, and their fixing and locking are very important. Spring locating pins are typically used to fix two devices, but existing spring locating pins can only move along their axis and pass through the two objects to be fixed to achieve locking.

[0003] Patent document CN203614542U discloses a Class B locking device spring positioning pin for an airborne electronic equipment chassis. It includes a rotor, a spring, a bushing, and a spindle. One end of the rotor has a conical head, and the other end is fitted inside the bushing. A blind hole is axially formed at the end of the rotor furthest from the conical head. The spindle is fitted inside the bushing, and the spring is installed inside the blind hole. One end of the spring is fixed to the spindle, and the other end is fixed to the bottom of the blind hole. The bushing also has a hexagonal shape. Its advantages include: safety and reliability, high preload, and the ability to quickly assemble and disassemble the electronic equipment chassis and mounting bracket without the need for any tools.

[0004] However, it cannot achieve circumferential positioning of the lock, resulting in poor locking performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to improve the locking effect of the locking device.

[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means: an electronic device locking device, comprising a pin sleeve, a pin body, a pin core, and a lock, wherein the pin body is elastically connected within the pin sleeve and can slide axially within the pin sleeve to realize the retraction or extension of the pin body relative to the pin body; the pin core is elastically connected within the pin body and can slide along the pin body axially; the pin body is circumferentially slidably fitted with a lock; the bottom of the pin core is movably connected to the lock; and the pin core sliding along the pin body axially can drive the lock to retract into or extend from the pin body.

[0007] The pin body and the pin sleeve are elastically connected, allowing the pin body to slide along the pin sleeve axis to achieve axial limiting. The pin core and the pin body slide together, and a lock is also sliding together in the circumferential direction. The pin core can drive the lock to retract into or extend out of the pin body by sliding along the pin body axis, achieving circumferential limiting and improving the locking effect.

The pin body and the pin sleeve are in rotational fit, and the inner wall of the pin is in clearance fit with the outer wall of the pin core, and is elastically connected by a spring.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the top of the pin sleeve is an inclined surface, and a top ring is fixed on the inner wall of the pin sleeve on the plane where the bottom of the inclined surface is located. An outer step is formed on the outer wall of the pin sleeve. The top ring is elastically connected to the outer step through a pin return spring. The top of the pin return spring is fixed to the bottom of the top ring, and the bottom of the pin return spring is rotatably fixed to the outer step.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the inner wall of the pin is formed with an internal step, the outer wall of the pin is formed with a pin ring, and the internal step is elastically connected to the pin ring by a pin return spring.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the top of the pin is a pressing end, and its bottom is formed with a narrow rod that tapers. The narrow rod is movably connected to the lock through a connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to one end of the narrow rod, and the other end is hinged to the lock.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the pin body, the outside of the handle is slidably engaged with the top inclined surface of the pin sleeve, and a lock hole adapted to the lock is formed on the inner wall of the circumferential surface of the pin body, and the lock hole is slidably engaged with the lock.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, an end cap is fixedly attached to the top of the handle.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the handle is formed with anti-slip threads.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the pin sleeve, pin body, and pin core are coaxial.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the plane where the internal step is located is above the plane where the external step is located.

[0017] The advantages of this invention are:

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See Figure 1 An electronic device locking device includes a quick-lock pin 35, which comprises a pin sleeve 351, a pin return spring 352, a pin 353, a pin core return spring 354, a pin core 355, a lock 356, a connecting rod 357, a handle 358, and an end cap 359. The quick-lock pin 35 has two states: a retracted state and an extended state. The pin sleeve 351 is fixedly connected to the end face of an object to be fixed, and one end of the pin sleeve 351 is a bevel. The handle 358... 58 is fixed to the pin 353. The handle 358 abuts against the inclined surface of the pin sleeve 351, serving as a limit between the pin sleeve 351 and the pin 353. The end cap 359 is fixedly connected to the top of the handle 358 and to the pin 353, serving as a limit for the handle 358. The pin 353 is rotatably disposed within the pin sleeve 351 and is elastically connected to the pin 353 via a pin return spring 352. A top ring 3511 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pin sleeve 351. (See reference...) Figure 2The outer wall of the pin 353 is formed with an outer step 3531 that is always located below the plane of the top ring 3511. The top ring 3511, the inner wall of the pin sleeve 351, the outer step 3531 and the pin 353 enclose the installation gap of the pin return spring 352. The top of the pin return spring 352 is fixedly connected to the top ring 3511. The top of the pin return spring 352 is rotatably fixed to the top surface of the outer step 3531 of the pin 353. Since the top surface of the pin 353 is inclined, when the pin 353 is rotated by the handle 358, the pin 353 can be retracted and extended relative to the pin sleeve 351.

[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pin 353 has at least two lock holes 3533, which are taken as examples in this embodiment. The lock holes 3533 are evenly distributed around the circumference. A lock 356 is slidably fitted in the lock holes 3533. When the pin 353 is in the extended state, the lock 356 extends out of the pin 353 through the lock holes 3533. The pin return spring 352 is used to hold and return the pin 353. A pin core 355 is slidably connected in the pin 353 and is spring-loaded with the pin core 355 by the pin core return spring 354. The connection allows the pin 355 and pin body 353 to slide relative to each other. The outer wall of the pin 355 has an integrally formed pin ring 3551, and the inner wall of the pin body 353 has an internal step 3532. The internal step 3532 is located below the plane of the pin ring 3551. The pin ring 3551, the inner wall of the pin body 353, the top surface of the internal step 3532, and the outer wall of the pin 355 together form the movement gap of the pin return spring 354. One end of the pin 355 is a pressing end, and the other end is a narrow, tapered rod. (See reference...) Figure 5 The narrow rod is movably connected to the lock 356 via a connecting rod 357. One end of the connecting rod 357 is hinged to the lock 356, and the other end is hinged to the narrow rod. Pressing the pressing end of the pin 355 causes the pin 355 to move downward, causing the connecting rod 357 to rotate, thereby driving the lock 356 to slide in the lock hole. The lock 356 retracts back into the lock hole. Releasing the pressing end of the pin 355 causes the pin 355 to spring up under the action of the pin return spring 354, and the lock 356 extends out of the lock hole. It should be noted that the handle 358 has anti-slip threads.

[0028] How to use:

[0029] Insert the quick-lock pin 35 into the through holes on the two objects to be fixed. The bottom of the pin sleeve 351 is in contact with the end face of the object to be fixed on one side. Rotate the pin body 353 by turning the handle 358 to make the pin body 353 extend out of the pin sleeve 351. Press the pin core 355 to make the two locks 356 extend out of the pin body 353. Release the pin core 355 and the pin body 353 to fix the two objects to be fixed.

[0030] Pressing the pin 355 of the quick-lock pin 35 causes the lock 356 to retract into the pin body 353, releasing the vertical limit. At the same time, rotating the handle 358 rotates the pin body 353, causing the pin body 353 to be in a retracted state, releasing the limit on the two objects to be fixed, allowing them to move relative to each other.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to 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 of the embodiments of the present invention.
