[0012] Furthermore, a second guide sidewall is provided at the connection between the lower sides of the second guide section and the third guide section. The second guide sidewall is arranged obliquely along the extension direction of the third guide section. The other end of the rotating pin moves along the second guide section to the upper side of the second guide sidewall and moves along the third guide section into the fourth guide section under the guidance of the second guide sidewall.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower end of the third guide section is provided with a third guide sidewall, and the other end of the rotating pin moves along the third guide section to one side of the third guide sidewall and moves along the fourth guide section to the upper end of the first guide section under the guidance of the third guide sidewall; a fourth guide sidewall is provided at the junction of the fourth guide section and the first guide section, and the fourth guide sidewall is arranged obliquely along the extension direction of the first guide section, so that the upper end of the fourth guide section is higher than the upper end of the first guide section.

[0014] Furthermore, the groove depth of the first guide segment gradually decreases from the top to the position of the first guide sidewall; the groove depth of the second guide segment is less than the groove depth of the first guide segment adjacent to the first guide sidewall; the groove depth of the third guide segment is less than the groove depth of the second guide segment; and the groove depth of the fourth guide segment is less than the groove depth of the third guide segment.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotating pin includes a first pin segment, a second pin segment, and a third pin segment that are integrally connected in sequence and located on the same plane.

The first pin segment is rotatably connected to the guide block, and the third pin segment is disposed in the guide groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the guide block has a connecting hole and a V-groove on the side near the guide groove. The connecting hole is located at the lower end of the V-groove, and the second pin section of the rotating pin is limited within the V-groove.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting a V-groove, it is convenient to limit the movement of the rotating pin.

[0033] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1-10 As shown, a concealed push-button quick lock according to this embodiment includes a retainer 100 and a locking mechanism 200. The retainer 100 is mounted on a first mounting surface. The locking mechanism 200 includes a housing, a guide block 203, a locking device 204, a rotating pin 205, and a compression spring 206. The housing is mounted on a second mounting surface, which is perpendicular to the first mounting surface. The housing has a mounting groove 208 arranged parallel to the second mounting surface. One end of the mounting groove 208 facing the first mounting surface is open. An annular closed guide groove is provided on the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 208 near the second mounting surface. A compression spring 206 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 208. The guide block 203 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 208 from the open structure, and its lower end abuts against the compression spring 206. One end of the rotating pin 205 is rotatably connected to the guide block 203, and the other end is disposed in the guide groove. The locking device 204 is elastically connected to the side of the guide block 203 opposite to the guide groove.

[0035] Specifically, by pressing the guide block 203 with the retainer, the other end of the rotating pin 205 slides along the guide groove and is located at the unlocking position 227 or the locking position 226 of the guide groove. When the rotating pin 205 is at the unlocking position 227, when the rotating pin 205 is at the locking position 226, the upper end of the locking device 204 moves closer to the guide block 203 and locks the retainer 100 at the upper end of the guide block 203. The upper end of the locking device 204 springs open relative to the guide block 203 and is located on one side of the retainer 100.

[0036] Specifically, the lower end of the guide block 203 is also provided with a limiting post 215, which can be used to sleeve and limit the upper end of the compression spring 206. The guide groove can adopt a stepped closed structure, and the rotating pin can only move in one direction within the guide groove, which can ensure the reliability of the press-lock and unlock operation.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide block 203 in this embodiment is provided with connecting shafts 210 arranged parallel to the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface, respectively. A torsion spring 209 and a locking device 204 are provided on the connecting shafts 210. One end of the torsion spring 209 abuts against the guide block 203, and the other end abuts against the locking device 204, allowing the upper end of the locking device 204 to swing relative to the guide block 203. By providing the torsion spring and connecting shaft, the locking device can be easily and elastically connected to one side of the guide block, and the lower end of the locking device can be hidden and limited in the clearance opening of the guide block, allowing the upper end of the locking device to move towards or away from the guide block, thereby achieving locking or unlocking engagement with the upper end of the retainer. When the quick-lock is pressed to unlock, the torsion spring pushes the locking device open at a certain angle, allowing the retainer to unlock. When the quick-lock is pressed to lock, the guide block slides into the housing. When the locking position is reached, the housing and the guide block restrict the locking device at the locking position. The locking device can restrict the movement of the retainer, thus achieving locking.

[0038] like Figures 6-8 As shown, the guide groove in this embodiment includes a first guide segment 218, a second guide segment 219, a third guide segment 220, and a fourth guide segment 221 forming a closed annular structure. The upper ends of the first guide segment 218 and the fourth guide segment 221 are connected to form an inverted V-shaped structure. The upper end of the first guide segment 218 serves as an unlocking point 227. The second guide segment 219 and the third guide segment 220 are located between the middle of the first guide segment 218 and the fourth guide segment 221. The upper ends of the second guide segment 219 and the third guide segment 220 are connected to form an inverted V-shaped structure. The upper end of the third guide segment 220 serves as a locking point 226. The lower end of the second guide segment 219 is connected to the middle of the first guide segment 218, and the lower end of the third guide segment 220 is connected to the middle of the fourth guide segment 221. The guide groove in this embodiment has an overall A-shaped structure.

[0039] like Figures 6-8As shown, in this embodiment, a first guide sidewall 222 is provided at the connection between the upper side of the first guide segment 218 and the second guide segment 219. The first guide sidewall 222 is arranged obliquely along the extension direction of the second guide segment 219. The other end of the rotating pin 205 moves along the first guide segment 218 to the lower side of the first guide sidewall 222 and moves along the second guide segment 219 to the locking position under the guidance of the first guide sidewall 222.

[0040] like Figures 6-8 As shown, in this embodiment, a second guide sidewall 223 is provided at the connection between the second guide segment 219 and the third guide segment 220. The second guide sidewall 223 is arranged obliquely along the extension direction of the third guide segment 220. The other end of the rotating pin 205 moves along the second guide segment 219 to the upper side of the second guide sidewall 223 and moves along the third guide segment 220 into the fourth guide segment 221 under the guidance of the second guide sidewall 223.

[0041] like Figures 6-8 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the third guide segment 220 is provided with a third guide sidewall 224. The other end of the rotating pin 205 moves along the third guide segment 220 to one side of the third guide sidewall 224 and moves along the fourth guide segment 221 to the upper end of the first guide segment 218 under the guidance of the third guide sidewall 224. A fourth guide sidewall 225 is provided at the junction of the fourth guide segment 221 and the first guide segment 218. The fourth guide sidewall 225 is arranged obliquely along the extension direction of the first guide segment 218, so that the upper end of the fourth guide segment 221 is higher than the upper end of the first guide segment 218.

[0042] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the groove depth of the first guide segment 218 gradually decreases from the top to the position of the first guide sidewall 222; the groove depth of the second guide segment 219 is less than the groove depth of the first guide segment 218 adjacent to the first guide sidewall 222; the groove depth of the third guide segment 220 is less than the groove depth of the second guide segment 219; and the groove depth of the fourth guide segment 221 is less than the groove depth of the third guide segment 220.

[0043] Specifically, the unidirectional movement of the rotating pin is achieved through changes in the depth of the guide groove. The lower half of the first and fourth guide sections can serve as transitional positions for the rotating pin's movement, preventing jamming. The movement of the rotating pin within the guide groove is as follows: In the unlocked state, pressing the guide block places the rotating pin at the unlocking point, i.e., the uppermost arc position of the first guide section. This is the starting position, and the rotating pin can only slide to the left. The depth of the first guide section gradually decreases, and after passing the first guide sidewall, it enters the second guide section. The groove depth of the second guide section is less than the groove depth of the first guide section at the first guide sidewall. The rotating pin will not return to the first guide section but can only continue moving along the first guide section to its very end. Then, the pressure is released, and the compression spring lifts the guide block. The rotating pin continues its unidirectional movement along the second guide section and crosses the second guide sidewall to the uppermost point of the third guide section, i.e., the locking point. Pressing the quick lock puts it in the locked state. When locked, press the guide block, and the rotating pin starts moving from the locking position. Because the second guide sidewall blocks on the left, the rotating pin can only move to the right. When it passes the third guide sidewall and enters the fourth guide section, the depth of the guide groove decreases again. Press it to the limit position at the bottom of the fourth guide section. After releasing the pressure, the compression spring lifts the guide block, and the rotating pin moves upward along the fourth guide section and crosses the fourth guide sidewall to the top position of the first guide section, which is the unlocking position.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the guide block 203 has a clearance cutout 211, the connecting shaft 210 is arranged to pass through the clearance cutout 211 laterally, and the lower ends of the torsion spring 209 and the locking device 204 are arranged in the clearance cutout 211, which facilitates the compact assembly of the overall structure.

[0045] like Figures 1-3 , Figure 5 As shown, the rotating pin 205 in this embodiment includes a first pin segment, a second pin segment, and a third pin segment that are integrally connected in sequence and located on the same plane. The first pin segment and the third pin segment are respectively vertically connected to both ends of the second pin segment, and the first pin segment and the third pin segment extend in opposite directions. The first pin segment is rotatably connected to the guide block 203, and the third pin segment is disposed in the guide groove.

[0046] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, the guide block 203 has a connecting hole 216 and a V-groove 217 on the side near the guide groove. The connecting hole 216 is located at the lower end of the V-groove 217, and the second pin section of the rotating pin 205 is limited within the V-groove 217. The upper end of the V-groove 217 and one side of the back locking device are open structures. The V-groove facilitates the limitation of the movement of the rotating pin. The V-groove in the guide block 203 provides sufficient rotation space corresponding to the position of the rotating pin 205. When the guide block is in the unlocked state, the rotating pin restricts the guide block from detaching from the housing. When the rotating pin passes the depth difference position within the guide groove (i.e., the guide sidewall position), the front end of the rotating pin impacts the limiting block, producing a crisp clicking sound. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the guide block 203 is provided with a pressure plate 213 on the side away from the locking device 204. The lower end of the pressure plate 213 is provided with an avoidance notch, which avoids the V-shaped groove. The lower end of the pressure plate 213 abuts against the step on one side wall of the guide block 203. The upper end of the pressure plate 213 is higher than the upper end face of the guide block 203, which is used to tightly fit and lock with the retainer 100.

[0047] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the housing in this embodiment includes a housing body 201 and a limiting block 202. The housing body 201 is mounted on a second mounting surface. The housing body 201 has a mounting opening on the side near the second mounting surface. The limiting block 202 is detachably connected to the mounting opening, specifically by being installed in the mounting opening with screws 214. The limiting block 202 has an annular closed guide groove on one side of the housing body 201.

[0048] The concealed push-button quick-lock of this embodiment enables concealed locking of electronic devices. Its compact structure allows for installation inside the device, leaving no unnecessary external parts, resulting in a neat and uniform appearance. The pressing method aligns with natural human operating habits, requiring no tools, and offers high reliability and quick operation. This concealed push-button quick-lock features a simple structure, high reliability, and its installation direction is not limited by gravity, making it convenient to use.

[0049] This embodiment also provides an electronic device, including a cover plate and a device body, and the aforementioned concealed push-button quick lock; the upper end of the device body is an open structure, one end of the cover plate is hinged to a side wall of the open structure of the device body, the side of the cover plate near the device body is a first mounting surface, and one inner side of the device body is a second mounting surface; the upper surface of the retainer 100 has a recessed locking groove 101 in the middle, the two ends of the upper surface of the retainer 100 form a first mounting surface 102 and are mounted on the first mounting surface, the side of the housing body 201 with the mounting opening is a second mounting surface 207, and the second mounting surface 207 is mounted on the second mounting surface; the lower end of the locking device 204 is rotatably connected to the guide block 203, and the upper end of the locking device 204 is bent toward the guide block 203 to form a locking flange 212, the locking flange 212 can be inserted into the locking groove 101 to lock or disengage from the locking groove 101 to release the lock. The first mounting surface is located above the second mounting surface, positioning the retainer 100 directly above the guide block 203. When the cover is locked to the device body, the entire quick-release lock is concealed within the electronic device.

[0050] The electronic device of this embodiment enables a concealed locking connection between the cover and the device body. After locking, the lock body can be completely hidden inside the cover and the device body, without affecting the appearance. In the locked state, pressing the quick-lock mounting position unlocks the device; in the unlocked state, pressing the cover locks it. Locking and unlocking operations require no tools, and the pressing operation is more in line with natural human operating habits. Each press produces a crisp click sound as the rotating pin engages with the guide groove inside the limit block, providing better audio feedback and a superior user experience.
