[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0024] An electromagnetic system for automatic unlocking in case of fire, see Figures 1 to 5 , including a switch smoke sensor 1, a delay switch module 2, an electromagnetic lock 3 and a travel switch 4; the travel switch 4 is arranged inside the electromagnetic lock 3, and the contact knob 401 of the travel switch 4 is connected to the lock tongue hook 301 of the electromagnetic lock 3 through a buffer mechanism 5 to prevent the lock tongue hook 301 from instantly bouncing up and impacting the contact knob 401 on the travel switch 4, thereby affecting its service life; the electromagnetic lock 3 is arranged at the load end of the delay switch module 2, and the power-on action of the delay switch module 2 responds to the logical operation of the switch signal in the output signal of the switch smoke sensor 1, and the power-off action of the delay switch module 2 responds to the logical operation of the variable signal in the output signal of the travel switch 4. The present invention constructs an electromagnetic system composed of a switch smoke sensor 1, a delay switch module 2, an electromagnetic lock 3 and a travel switch 4, which has a simple structure, rapid response and high safety, and can realize the door opening action based on the presence of smoke in the early stage of a fire. The system can realize the lock interlocking and door opening during the smoke triggering process, thereby avoiding the lock being re-locked during the fire and affecting rescue or self-rescue. Compared with the existing locks used in fire fighting, the present invention preferably utilizes the signal coordination of the switch smoke sensor 1 and the delay switch module 2, so that the electronic components in the present invention are usually in a normally closed state, which has a good energy-saving effect and is conducive to market promotion.

[0025] It is worth noting that the electromagnetic lock 3 is an electric-controlled lock with a lock cylinder key in the prior art. The present invention improves the internal structure of the electric-controlled lock with a lock cylinder key in the prior art, and a travel switch 4 is arranged in the pop-up direction of the lock tongue hook 301 inside it. By connecting the travel switch 4 with the signal of the delay switch module 2, the electromagnetic lock 3 can be interlocked and popped open when the delay switch module 2 responds to the switch quantity smoke sensor 1, thereby avoiding the locking of the electromagnetic lock 3; in the normally closed energy-saving process when the delay switch module 2 ends the delay, the electromagnetic lock 3 can also be opened by the lock cylinder key, which is safer and is conducive to fire rescue or self-rescue.

[0026] It's worth noting that travel switch 4 is a conventional micro-switch type travel switch, such as the commonly used LXW-11 series. Its structure primarily comprises a push rod (touch knob 401), a spring, a normally closed contact, a normally open contact, and a compression spring. The present invention includes a buffer mechanism 5 between travel switch 4 and electromagnetic lock 3 to reduce the impact of the bolt hook 301 on the push rod (touch knob 401).

[0027] One embodiment Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate understanding of how the buffer mechanism 5 connects the contact 401 and the lock tongue hook 301, the present invention also discloses a more specific implementation method of the buffer mechanism 5. The buffer mechanism 5 includes a secondary buffer member 501 arranged on the limit switch 4 and a cam column 502 arranged on the lock tongue hook 301; the fixed end of the secondary buffer member 501 is rotatably provided on the limit switch 4 through a pin shaft, the lock tongue hook 301 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the electromagnetic lock 3 through the cam column 502, and the raised end of the cam column 502 is in contact with the free end of the secondary buffer member 501.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the secondary buffer component 501 includes a rotating root 501a, a first buffer branch 501b and a second buffer branch 501c; the rotating root 501a is in contact and connected with the touch knob 401, and the rotating root 501a is used to squeeze the touch knob 401, and the squeezing force is sufficient, which is beneficial to the response of the travel switch 4 during the pop-up process of the electromagnetic lock 3; the first buffer branch 501b and the second buffer branch 501c are arranged in a forked structure at the tip of the rotating root 501a; wherein, the buffer surface of the first buffer branch 501b is in contact and connected with the surface of the travel switch 4, the pressure surface of the first buffer branch 501b is in contact and connected with the buffer surface of the second buffer branch 501c, and the pressure surface of the second buffer branch 501c is in contact and connected with the raised end of the cam column 502.

[0029] More specifically, the first buffer branch 501b includes a first connecting rib 501b-1, the fixed end of the first connecting rib 501b-1 is connected to the tip of the rotating root 501a, and the free end of the first connecting rib 501b-1 is connected to the first buffer ring 501b-2; wherein, the first buffer ring 501b-2 is an elliptical structure, which is conducive to the reset after structural deformation, and one side of the short axis of the first buffer ring 501b-2 is in contact with the surface of the travel switch 4, and the other side of the short axis of the first buffer ring 501b-2 is in contact with the buffer surface of the second buffer branch 501c. The second buffer branch 501c includes a second connecting rib 501c-1, the fixed end of the second connecting rib 501c-1 is connected to the other side of the tip of the rotating root 501a, and the free end of the second connecting rib 501c-1 is connected to the second buffer ring 501c-2; wherein, the second buffer ring 501c-2 is an arc structure, which is beneficial to increase the contact area with the first buffer ring 501b-2 while protecting the first buffer ring 501b-2 from deformation, and the size of the second buffer ring 501c-2 is adapted to the size of the first buffer ring 501b-2, and the arc convex surface of the second buffer ring 501c-2 is in contact and connected with the raised end of the cam column 502.

[0030] It is worth noting that Figure 4 As shown, there is a gap between the second buffer ring 501c-2 and the first buffer ring 501b-2. Under the angular connection between the first connecting rib 501b-1 and the second connecting rib 501c-1, the gap is the first buffer cavity where the second buffer ring 501c-2 is squeezed by the cam column 502, based on the deformation amount of the second connecting rib 501c-1; when the arc concave surface of the second buffer ring 501c-2 is pressed against the first buffer ring 501b-2, the inner cavity of the first buffer ring 501b-2 is squeezed and deformed to form a second buffer cavity. Through this double buffering impact effect, the cam column 502 and the travel switch 4 are avoided from instantaneously impacting when the lock tongue hook 301 instantaneously responds to the electromagnetic coil in the electromagnetic lock 3, which is beneficial to protecting the contact 401 of the travel switch 4.

[0031] As another preferred embodiment of the above, Figure 5 As shown, the cam column 502 includes a column 502a, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bolt hook 301 and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the base plate of the electromagnetic lock 3. A corner protrusion 502b is provided on the circumference of the column 502a. The tip of the corner protrusion 502b is embedded with a roller 502c. The surface of the roller 502c contacts the arcuate convex surface of the second buffer ring 501c-2. The present invention further designs the roller 502c on the corner protrusion 502b of the cam column 502, thereby reducing friction when the roller 502c contacts the second buffer branch 501c, thereby protecting the second buffer branch 501c.

[0032] It is worth emphasizing that if Figure 4As shown, the rotation trajectory of the tip of the corner protrusion 502b intersects with the plane projection of the first buffer ring 501b-2, so that when the corner protrusion 502b follows the rotation of the column 502a, the tip of the corner protrusion 502b can be squeezed into the first buffer ring 501b-2, causing the first buffer branch 501b and the second buffer branch 501c to overlap on the rotating root 501a during the buffering deformation process, thereby facilitating the rotating root 501a to trigger the touch twist 401.

[0033] In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in the present invention are all existing technologies and can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. Needless to say, the content protected by the present invention does not involve improvements to internal structures and methods.

[0034] Working principle: When the switch smoke sensor 1 is triggered by smoke in the energized state, the output switch signal is transmitted to the delay switch module 2. The power-on action of the delay switch module 2 responds to the logical operation of the switch signal in the output signal of the switch smoke sensor 1, thereby controlling the power-on of the electromagnetic lock 3. After the electromagnetic coil of the electromagnetic lock 3 is energized, it drives the lock tongue hook 301 to rotate and bounce open. During this process, the cam column 502 squeezes the secondary buffer 501, and the secondary buffer 501 squeezes the contact button 401 on the travel switch 4, causing the travel switch 4 to detect that the electromagnetic lock 3 has bounced open and output a variable signal to the delay switch module 2. The power-off action of the delay switch module 2 responds to the logical operation of the variable signal in the output signal of the travel switch 4, causing the delay switch module 2 to disconnect the power circuit of the electromagnetic lock 3, so that the electromagnetic lock 3 cannot be locked after power is off, ensuring smooth fire rescue or self-rescue.

[0035] The embodiments disclosed in the present invention are preferred embodiments, but are not limited to them. Ordinary technicians in this field can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. As long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
