Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0035] See also Figure 1 According to the first embodiment of the present application, the cylindrical lock comprises a lock lining 100 and a lock core 200. The lock lining 100 is used to be fixedly inserted into a lock hole reserved in a door frame (such as a panel door frame of a workshop tool cabinet) to achieve the installation of the cylindrical lock; please refer to Figure 2 The lock lining 100 extends along the center line of the lock hole and is provided with a through hole 131 in the extending direction; the lock core 200 includes a rotating shaft 210, a lock tongue 220 and a sleeve 270, and the tail of the rotating shaft 210 is provided with an eccentric shaft 260 as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the eccentric shaft 260 is parallel to and offset to one side of the central axis of the rotating shaft 210, the sleeve 270 is sleeved on the tail of the rotating shaft 210, and can be slidably connected to the lock lining 100 along the axial direction, and a connecting groove 290 is provided on the lock tongue 220, and the eccentric shaft 260 is passed through the connecting groove 290 and can slide in the connecting groove 290; the tail of the sleeve 270 is provided with a sliding groove 280 perpendicular to the rotating shaft 210, and the lock tongue 220 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 280; under the rotation of the rotating shaft 210, the eccentric shaft 260 can drive the lock tongue 220 to slide in a direction perpendicular to the rotating shaft 210, which is specifically manifested as an extension relative to the rotating shaft 210. In use, the lock tongue 220 can be moved close to or away from the door panel, thereby achieving unlocking or locking.

[0036] A sleeve 270 is movably mounted on the rotating shaft 210 and slidably inserted into the through hole 131. A protrusion 300 is provided on the inner circumference 271 of the sleeve 270. A spiral groove 230 is provided on the circumference of the rotating shaft 210. The spiral groove 230 is spirally arranged along the axis of the rotating shaft 210, and the protrusion 300 is inserted into the spiral groove 230. Under the action of the rotation of the rotating shaft 210, the spiral groove 230 can push the protrusion 300 and the sleeve 270 along the axis of the rotating shaft 210, so that the lock tongue 220 can move along the axis of the rotating shaft 210, thereby adjusting the distance between the lock tongue 220 and the door panel.

[0037] See also Figure 3 Under the action of external torque unlocking torque or locking torque, the rotating shaft 210 and the spiral groove 230 will rotate. Since the protrusion 300 is plugged into the spiral groove 230, the screwing action can drive the lock tongue 220 to move forward or backward in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 210. According to such a structural setting, the lock tongue 220 will move back and forth relative to the door panel corresponding to the door frame during the unlocking and locking processes. The designer can set the spiral direction of the spiral groove 230 according to the actual unlocking direction, so that the lock tongue 220 can be pressed against the door panel during the locking process and leave the door panel during the unlocking process. On the basis of ensuring smooth unlocking, the door is tightly closed in the locked state.

[0038] See also Figure 5 Specifically, the lock lining 100 includes a lock housing 110 and a connecting piece. The lock housing 110 is provided with a shell plate 111 and a shell cylinder 112. The shell plate 111 is perpendicular to the shell cylinder 112 and is located at the end of the shell cylinder 112. The shell plate 111 and the shell cylinder 112 are provided with a circular groove 113 along the same straight line. The rotating shaft 210 is movably provided on the circular groove 113. The shell cylinder 112 is used to be inserted into the lock hole reserved in the door frame. The shell plate 111 is fixedly connected to the door panel through the connecting piece to realize the installation of the cylindrical lock. Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the connecting member is a hexagonal nut 120 , and a thread is provided on the outer circumference of the shell cylinder 112 . The hexagonal nut 120 is screwed to the shell cylinder 112 , thereby clamping the door panel between the hexagonal nut 120 and the shell plate 111 .

[0039] Regarding the sliding connection principle between the sleeve 270 and the circular groove 113, the sleeve 270 is provided with one or more positioning ribs 140 on its circumferential surface, and the inner circumferential surface of the shell 112 is provided with positioning grooves 150 corresponding to the positioning ribs 140. Figure 6 As shown, the positioning rib 140 is inserted into the positioning groove 150, and the positioning rib 140 and the positioning groove 150 extend along the axial direction of the shaft sleeve 270. According to this arrangement, the positioning rib 140 and the positioning groove 150 are equivalent to forming a guide assembly between the shell barrel 112 and the shaft sleeve 270, thereby achieving a sliding connection between the shell barrel 112 and the shaft sleeve 270 during the assembly of the fixed lock, which not only helps to improve the coaxiality between the shell barrel 112 and the shaft sleeve 270, but also limits the shaft sleeve 270 to be able to slide back and forth along the extension direction of the shell barrel 112.

[0040] The following further explains the principle of the locking tongue 220 rotating in the process of opening and closing the cylindrical lock. Figure 2 and Figure 3, since the protruding piece 300 is provided on the inner circumference of the shaft sleeve 270, and the shaft sleeve 270 is slidably connected to the shell cylinder 112, the protruding piece 300 can slide along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 210; on this basis, the number of turns of the spiral groove 230 is set to be less than one turn, for example, half a turn, and the spiral groove 230 extends in the direction away from the lock housing 110 from the lock tongue 220. When the lock tongue is in the unlocked state where the lock tongue extends out of the shaft sleeve 270 at the longest distance, the protruding piece 300 is plugged into the groove end of the spiral groove 230 away from the lock housing 110; according to the spiral direction of the spiral groove 230 and the protruding piece 300, the spiral groove 230 is connected to the groove end of the spiral groove 230 away from the lock housing 110. 00, during the locking process, the spiral groove 230 will push the protrusion 300 back in the direction close to the lock shell 110, thereby driving the lock tongue 220 to press against the door panel, thereby achieving a tight closure between the door panel and the door frame; the rotating shaft 210 and the lock tongue 220 will rotate in the direction close to the lock shell 110, thereby driving the lock tongue 220 to press against the door frame, thereby achieving a tight closure between the door panel and the door frame; during the unlocking process, as the rotating shaft 210 rotates in the opposite direction, the spiral groove 230 will push the protrusion 300 out in the direction away from the lock shell 110, thereby driving the lock tongue 220 to leave the door panel, thereby achieving smooth unlocking.

[0041] Among them, please see Figure 3 The protrusion 300 abuts against the two opposite side groove walls of the spiral groove 230. This arrangement can reduce the gap between the protrusion 300 and the spiral groove 230 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 210, thereby further reducing the shaking of the rotating shaft 210 in the axial direction, which helps to further reduce the gap between the lock tongue 220 and the door frame.

[0042] The surface of the protrusion 300 and the groove surface of the spiral groove 230 are both rounded to reduce the risk of jamming when the protrusion 300 and the spiral groove 230 abut. Based on this principle, it is recommended that the protrusion 300 be a cylindrical member. Cylindrical members are easy to process and their outer circumference is smooth enough to well accommodate the screwing action of the spiral groove 230, reducing the risk of jamming. In some embodiments, the protrusion 300 is a pin, and the circumference of the sleeve 270 is provided with a pin hole. The pin is inserted into the pin hole and the end of the pin extends into the interior of the sleeve 270 and is inserted into the spiral groove 230.

[0043] Further, see Figure 2 The number of protrusions 300 can be set to more than two, each protrusion 300 is arranged on the same plane and is evenly arranged around the axis of the rotating shaft 210, and each protrusion 300 is correspondingly provided with a spiral groove 230. By increasing the number of protrusions 300 and spiral grooves 230, the movement smoothness of the spiral groove 230 and the rotating shaft 210 during the screwing process can be effectively enhanced.

[0044] It is understandable that the free rotation of the shaft 210 can easily affect the user experience, and in severe cases can even cause the cylinder lock to automatically unlock or lock, so it is necessary to set a positioning measure for the rotation of the shaft 210.

[0045] See also Figure 2 An elastic member 400 is provided on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 210, and a plurality of spring grooves 500 are recessed on the inner circumferential surface 271 of the sleeve 270 in a direction away from the rotating shaft 210. When the rotating shaft 210 rotates to a specified position, the elastic member 400 can align with the spring grooves 500 and be inserted into the spring grooves 500 under the action of its own elastic force, thereby limiting the rotating shaft 210 to a specified rotation angle.

[0046] Specifically, the elastic member 400 includes a spring 410 and a hard bead 420. The hard bead 420 is connected to the rotating shaft 210 via the spring 410. The inner circumferential surface 271 of the sleeve is provided with a spring groove 500 at positions corresponding to the initial placement angle of the rotating shaft 210 (here, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 210 is 0°) and the maximum set rotation angle, such as 180°. When the rotating shaft 210 rotates between these two positions, the hard bead 420 abuts against the inner circumferential surface 271 of the sleeve, and the spring 410 is squeezed; when the rotating shaft 210 rotates to these two positions, the hard bead 420 aligns with the spring groove 500. Since the spring groove 500 is recessed on the inner circumferential surface 271 of the sleeve, the spring 410 can be extended at this position. Under the rebound action of the spring 410, the hard bead 420 is inserted into the spring groove 500 to limit further rotation of the rotating shaft 210. Since the spring 410 has a certain elasticity, when the rotating shaft 210 is subjected to a sufficiently large torsion force, the rotating shaft 210 can resume rotation, thereby repeatedly performing unlocking and locking.

[0047] The hard ball 420 may be a steel ball structure. The steel ball has a smooth surface and good wear resistance, and can adapt to repeated engagement and disengagement with the spring groove 500.

[0048] The circumference of the rotating shaft 210 is provided with a shoulder, which has a shoulder surface 240 perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 210. The shoulder surface 240 is located on one side of the spiral groove 230 and abuts the plate surface of the shell 111. An elastic washer 610 is provided between the shoulder surface 240 and the lock housing 110. The elastic washer 610 can be a structure such as a wave washer. The elastic washer 610 can provide a buffering effect on the rotating shaft 210 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 210. In addition to optimizing the rotation performance of the rotating shaft 210, it can also prevent the rotating shaft 210 from frequently rigidly colliding with the lock housing 110, which may cause improper use.

[0049] In some embodiments, the head end of the rotating shaft 210 extends out of the lock housing 110 and is connected to a handle 700. Specifically, a column 800 is provided at the end of the handle 700. The head of the rotating shaft 210 is provided with an insertion hole 250. The column 800 is movably inserted into the insertion hole 250, thereby enabling the handle 700 to be flipped relative to the rotating shaft 210. The column 800 is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 210. To unlock or lock the lock, the user flips the handle 700 around the axis of the column 800 away from the lock tongue 220, and then rotates the handle 700 around the axis of the rotating shaft 210 to unlock or lock the lock. After the lock is opened or closed, the handle 700 can be flipped toward the lock tongue 220 until the end surface of the handle 700 contacts the surface of the housing plate 111, thereby completing the storage of the handle 700.

[0050] Furthermore, a gasket 620 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 210 between the shell plate 111 and the handle 700 , and the gasket 620 is used to prevent the handle 700 or the column 800 from directly scraping the surface of the shell plate 111 .

[0051] Furthermore, the lock shell 110 can adopt a circular plate structure, and the handle 700 can adopt a semicircular flat plate structure. When the handle 700 is attached to the shell surface of the lock shell 110, the lock surface of the cylindrical lock can produce a consistent aesthetic feeling as a whole. The lock shell 110 can also be provided with a decorative cover 900 on one side of the handle 700. The decorative cover 900 is used to cover the main area of ​​the shell plate 111 except the handle 700, reduce the height difference between the shell plate 111 and the handle 700, and enhance the appearance of the cylindrical lock surface. It can also prevent the two ends of the column 800 from being exposed, making it difficult for the column 800 to be maliciously disassembled or loosened, which helps to improve the durability of the handle 700.

[0052] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further provides a cabinet on which the above-mentioned cylindrical lock is provided.

[0053] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further provides an automated device, on which the above-mentioned cylindrical lock is provided.

[0054] While the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Various modifications may be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by a person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof may be combined with one another unless there is a conflict.
