[0029] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0030] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different configurations of the present invention.

[0032] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of an opening and closing mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 A partial exploded view of an opening and closing mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 3 An exploded view of a tongue assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an opening and closing mechanism, including a housing 1, an inclined tongue assembly 2, a square tongue assembly 3, a first transmission assembly 4 and a second transmission assembly 5.

[0034] The shell 1 is used to be installed with the door body. The inclined tongue assembly 2 includes an inclined tongue 21 that is slidably connected to the shell 1. The inclined tongue 21 extends out or is retracted into the shell 1 along the width direction of the shell 1. The square tongue assembly 3 includes a rack 31 and a square tongue 32 that is slidably connected to the shell 1. The square tongue 32 extends out or is retracted into the shell 1 along the width direction of the shell 1. The rack 31 is connected to the square tongue 32 and extends along the width direction of the shell 1.

[0035] It should be understood that during installation, the shell 1 is installed with the door body, and the inclined tongue assembly 2 includes an inclined tongue 21, which is slidingly connected to the shell 1. When locking is required, the inclined tongue 21 extends out of the shell 1 along the width direction of the shell 1 and extends into the door frame for locking. When unlocking, the inclined tongue 21 retracts along the width direction of the shell 1 to the inner cavity of the shell 1, so that the inclined tongue 21 is disengaged from the door frame to facilitate the unlocking setting.

[0036] The latch assembly 3 includes a latch 32, which is slidably connected to the housing 1. When locking, the latch 32 extends from the housing 1 along its width and into the door frame for locking. When unlocking, the latch 32 retracts along its width into the interior of the housing 1, disengaging the latch 21 from the door frame for easier unlocking. The latch 32 is also connected to a rack 31, which can be secured to the latch 32 by bolts, welding, or adhesive bonding. The rack 31 extends along the width of the housing 1.

[0037] The first transmission assembly 4 includes a paddle 41, a first gear 42 and a first transmission member 43. One end of the paddle 41 is connected to the oblique tongue assembly 2. The first transmission member 43 is connected to the first gear 42 and is located in the same plane as the paddle 41. The rotation of the first gear 42 drives the first transmission member 43 to rotate, thereby driving the paddle 41 to move. The movement of the paddle 41 drives the oblique tongue 21 to move.

[0038] The first transmission assembly 4 includes a paddle 41, one end of which is connected to the latch bolt assembly 2. The movement or rotation of the paddle 41 can drive the latch bolt 21 to move. The other end of the paddle 41 can be a free end not connected to any parts. The other end of the paddle 41 can also be rotatably connected to the housing 1 through a rotating shaft. The paddle 41 is coaxially arranged with the first gear 42, that is, the first gear 42 and the paddle 41 are sleeved on the same rotating shaft.

[0039] The first gear 42 is connected to a first transmission member 43, which is integrally formed with the first gear 42. This application does not limit the shape of the first transmission member 43. In one embodiment, the first transmission member 43 is an arc-shaped block. When the first gear 42 rotates, it drives the first transmission member 43 to rotate. The first transmission member 43 and the paddle 41 are coplanar. When the first transmission member 43 rotates to the paddle 41, it contacts the paddle 41 and drives the paddle 41 to rotate. As the paddle 41 rotates about the axis, the other end of the paddle 41 drives the latch bolt assembly 2 to retract along the width of the housing 1 into the inner cavity of the housing 1, thereby unlocking the door.

[0040] The second transmission assembly 5 meshes with the first gear 42 and the rack 31. Rotation of the first gear 42 drives the second transmission assembly 5, which in turn drives the rack 31. The second transmission assembly 5 can comprise a single gear or multiple intermeshing gears. The second transmission assembly 5 meshes with the first gear 42 and the rack 31. That is, when the first gear 42 rotates, the second transmission assembly 5 rotates, which in turn drives the rack 31 to move along its length. Specifically, the rack 31 drives the tongue 32 to retract along the width of the housing 1 into the interior of the housing 1, thereby unlocking the door.

[0041] When the first gear 42 rotates, the first transmission component 4 can drive the inclined tongue 21 to unlock, and the second transmission component 5 can also drive the square tongue 32 to unlock, so that the inclined tongue 21 and the square tongue 32 are simultaneously recovered into the inner cavity of the shell 1, that is, the user does not need to wait until the square tongue 32 is unlocked and then wait for the inclined tongue 21 to unlock before completely unlocking, thereby reducing the unlocking time and improving the user experience.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a square tongue provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In some optional embodiments, the square tongue 32 is provided with a bayonet 321 along the height direction of the housing 1. The square tongue assembly 3 also includes a retaining plate 33 slidably connected to the housing 1, and the retaining plate 33 is provided with a buckle 331 adapted to fit the bayonet 321. The first transmission assembly 4 also includes a second transmission member 44 connected to the first gear 42. The second transmission member 44 and the retaining plate 33 are located in the same plane, and the second transmission member 44 drives the retaining plate 33 to move along the height direction of the housing 1.

[0043] The square tongue 32 is provided with a bayonet 321 along the height direction of the shell 1. The bayonet 321 can be set above the square tongue 32 or below the square tongue 32. The setting of the bayonet 321 is set according to the position of the second transmission member 44. When the second transmission member 44 is located above the square tongue 32, the bayonet 321 is set below the square tongue 32. When the second transmission member 44 is located below the square tongue 32, the bayonet 321 is located above the square tongue 32.

[0044] In one example, the second transmission member 44 is located above the square tongue 32 , and the bayonet 321 is disposed below the square tongue 32 .

[0045] The tongue assembly 3 also includes a retaining plate 33, which is slidably connected to the housing 1, allowing it to move along the height direction of the housing 1. The retaining plate 33 is provided with a buckle 331 adapted to fit within the bayonet 321. When the buckle 331 is inserted into the bayonet 321, the retaining plate 33 locks the tongue 32, preventing the tongue 32 from moving along the width direction of the housing 1, thereby maintaining the tongue 32 in an unlocked or locked state. When the buckle 331 is disengaged from the bayonet 321, the tongue 32 can move along the width direction of the housing 1, thereby adjusting the tongue 32 from a locked state to an unlocked state, or vice versa.

[0046] The backstop plate 33 and the second transmission member 44 are located in the same plane. The second transmission member 44 is connected to the first gear 42 and can be connected in an integrated manner. The present application does not limit the shape of the second transmission member 44. In one example, the second transmission member 44 is cylindrical, that is, the circumference of the second transmission member 44 abuts against the backstop plate 33 to avoid damage to the second transmission member 44. When the first gear 42 rotates, the second transmission member 44 rotates with the first gear 42, thereby causing the second transmission member 44 to move toward the backstop plate 33. When the second transmission member 44 contacts the backstop plate 33, the second transmission member 44 drives the backstop plate 33 to move along the height direction of the housing 1, causing the buckle 331 to disengage from the bayonet 321.

[0047] Among them, there are multiple bayonet holes 321 and they are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the square tongue 32. There are also multiple buckles 331 and they are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the retaining plate 33. The number of buckles 331 is less than the number of bayonet holes 321, so that the locked state or unlocked state can be determined by the engagement position of the buckles 331 and the bayonet holes 321.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, a first elastic member 332 is further included. One end of the first elastic member 332 is connected to the retaining plate 33, and the other end of the first elastic member 332 is connected to the housing 1. The elastic force of the first elastic member 332 is in the same direction as the height of the housing 1. The first elastic member 332 can be an elastic member such as a spring or a tension spring. When the tongue 32 is adjusted, the second transmission member 44 no longer abuts the retaining plate 33, and the first elastic member 332 retracts, engaging the buckle 331 with the bayonet 321.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the backstop plate 33 is provided with a sliding hole 333 extending along the height direction of the housing 1, and the housing 1 is provided with a guide 11, and the guide 11 extends into the sliding hole 333. The guide 11 and the housing 1 can be connected in an integrally formed manner. The present application does not limit the shape of the guide 11. In one example, the guide 11 is cylindrical to facilitate relative sliding between the sliding hole 333 and the guide 11. The sliding hole 333 extends along the height direction of the housing 1, limiting the sliding of the backstop plate 33 along the height direction of the housing 1. The number of the sliding holes 333 and the guide 11 can be multiple to ensure the smooth movement of the backstop plate 33.

[0050] Reference Figure 5-Figure 7 , Figure 5 A partial structural diagram of an opening and closing mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 6 A schematic diagram showing the structure of the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly of the present application is shown. Figure 7 A structural schematic diagram of a second transmission assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the second transmission assembly 5 includes a second gear 51 and a third gear 52, the second gear 51 is engaged with the first gear 42, and the second gear 51 is provided with an arc-shaped positioning hole 511; the third gear 52 is engaged with the rack 31, and the third gear 52 is coaxially arranged with the second gear 51, and the third gear 52 is provided with a positioning block 521, which is placed in the positioning hole 511 and can move along the extension direction of the positioning hole 511.

[0052] The second gear 51 is connected to the housing 1 via a rotating shaft. This means the second gear 51 is rotationally connected to the housing 1 and meshes with the first gear 42. When the first gear 42 rotates, the second gear 51 rotates simultaneously. The second gear 51 is provided with a positioning hole 511 that extends through the thickness of the second gear 51 and is arc-shaped, centered at the center of the second gear 51.

[0053] The third gear 52 is coaxially arranged with the second gear 51 and is sleeved on the same rotating shaft. The third gear 52 is provided with a positioning block 521. The positioning block 521 is integrally formed with the third gear 52. The positioning block 521 extends into the positioning hole 511 and is movable along the extension direction of the positioning hole 511. In other words, when the second gear 51 rotates, the positioning hole 511 also rotates. When the inner wall of the positioning hole 511 abuts the positioning block 521, the rotation of the second gear 51 drives the third gear 52 to rotate as well. The third gear 52 meshes with the rack 31. The rotation of the third gear 52 drives the rack 31 to move along the width direction of the housing 1, thereby driving the latch 32 to unlock or close.

[0054] When the second transmission member 44 pushes the retaining plate 33 to disengage from the square tongue 32 along the height direction of the shell 1, the positioning hole 511 rotates relative to the positioning block 521. When the buckle 331 of the retaining plate 33 is completely disengaged from the bayonet 321 of the square tongue 32, the inner wall of the positioning hole 511 abuts against the positioning block 521, thereby driving the third gear 52 to rotate. The third gear 52 drives the rack 31 to rotate, and then drives the square tongue 32 to move along the width direction of the shell 1.

[0055] Reference Figure 6 In some optional embodiments, during the unlocking process, the movement path of the first transmission member 43 before contacting the paddle 41 is a locking distance L, and the locking distance L is negatively correlated with the size of the third gear 52 .

[0056] During the unlocking process, a larger locking distance L means a longer time for the first transmission member 43 to contact the paddle 41, while a smaller locking distance L means a shorter time for the first transmission member 43 to contact the paddle 41. A larger third gear 52 means a faster movement of the rack 31, while a smaller third gear 52 means a slower movement of the rack 31. If simultaneous retraction of the square bolt 32 and the oblique bolt 21 is desired, the locking distance L and the size of the third gear 52 should be inversely correlated. A larger locking distance L means a smaller third gear 52, while a smaller locking distance L means a larger third gear 52. This ensures simultaneous retraction of the square bolt 32 and the oblique bolt 21.

[0057] When locked, the length of the square tongue 32 extending from the housing 1 is greater than the length of the oblique tongue 21 extending from the housing 1. If the square tongue 32 and the oblique tongue 21 are to be retracted simultaneously, the square tongue 32 needs to be partially retracted first and then retracted together with the oblique tongue 21.

[0058] Reference Figure 5-Figure 7 In some optional embodiments, the length of the sliding hole 333 is positively correlated with the arc length of the positioning hole 511. The length of the sliding hole 333 represents the maximum distance that the retaining plate 33 can slide along the height direction of the housing 1, and the arc length of the positioning hole 511 represents the waiting time before the third gear 52 rotates. Therefore, in order to prevent the movement of the square tongue 32 from interfering with the retaining plate 33, the length of the sliding hole 333 is positively correlated with the arc length of the positioning hole 511. That is, the longer the arc length of the sliding hole 333, the smaller the length of the sliding hole 333, and the smaller the arc of the positioning hole 511.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5In some optional embodiments, the drive member 6 and the fourth gear 7 are further included. The output end of the drive member 6 meshes with the fourth gear 7, and the fourth gear 7 meshes with the first gear 42. The drive member 6 is a motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to a gear. The fourth gear 7 is provided with helical teeth and spur teeth. The gear of the motor meshes with the helical teeth of the fourth gear 7, and the spur teeth of the fourth gear 7 mesh with the first gear 42. That is, the rotation of the motor drives the fourth gear 7 to rotate through the gear, and the rotation of the fourth gear 7 drives the first gear 42 to rotate.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, the inclined tongue assembly 2 further includes a slide 22, a transmission rod 23 and a second elastic member 24, the slide 22 is slidably connected to the shell 1 along the width direction of the shell 1, and the paddle 41 is connected to the slide 22; one end of the transmission rod 23 is connected to the inclined tongue 21, and the other end is connected to the slide 22; one end of the second elastic member 24 is used to connect to the inclined tongue 21 and the other end is used to connect to the slide 22.

[0061] The shell 1 is provided with a sliding hole, which extends along its own width direction. The slide seat 22 extends into the sliding hole to facilitate sliding connection with the shell 1. The slide seat 22 is provided with an installation groove for installing the paddle 41. The paddle 41 extends into the installation groove and is connected to the slide seat 22.

[0062] The transmission rod 23 is arranged in a cylindrical shape. One end of the transmission rod 23 is connected to the inclined tongue 21, and can be connected by welding, one-piece molding or bolt connection. The other end of the transmission rod 23 passes through the slide 22 and is connected to the slide 22. That is, when the slide 22 moves along the width direction of the shell 1, it drives the transmission rod 23 to move.

[0063] The latch bolt assembly 2 also includes a second elastic member 24, a spring-like structure. The second elastic member 24 is mounted on the transmission rod 23 to prevent the second elastic member 24 from tilting during extension or return. One end of the second elastic member 24 is connected to the slide 22, and the other end is connected to the latch bolt 21. When the latch bolt 21 retracts into the housing 1, the second elastic member 24 is in a stretched state. When the first transmission member 43 moves away from the paddle 41, the second elastic member 24 returns to its original position, allowing the latch bolt 21 to extend out of the housing 1 under the action of the second elastic member 24.

[0064] In some optional embodiments, the latch bolt assembly 2 further includes a stopper 25 rotatably connected to the housing 1. The stopper 25 is plate-shaped and connected to the housing 1. When the latch bolt 21 retracts into the interior of the housing 1, the stopper 25 abuts against the latch bolt 21 at one end thereof facing the latch bolt 21, thereby preventing the latch bolt 21 from excessively retracting.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, the housing 1 defines a rotating opening 12 adapted to accommodate the latch bolt 21. The latch bolt 21 is rotatably connected to a transmission rod 23, allowing the latch bolt 21 to rotate about the central axis of the transmission rod 23. A retaining member 25 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. After the opening and closing mechanism is installed, the retaining member 25 rotates without affecting the retraction of the latch bolt 21. The latch bolt 21 retracts to the housing 1 and is positioned at the rotating opening 12. The installer can then rotate the latch bolt 21 to adjust its forward and reverse position, thereby enhancing installation convenience.

[0066] Reference Figures 1-6 , the technical solution provided by this embodiment is described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0067] When the opening and closing mechanism is in a locked state and needs to be unlocked, the driving member 6 drives the fourth gear 7 to rotate, and the rotation of the fourth gear 7 drives the first gear 42 to rotate.

[0068] When the first gear 42 rotates, the first transmission member 43 moves toward the paddle 41, and the second transmission member 44 abuts the backstop plate 33, so that the buckle 331 of the backstop plate 33 disengages from the bayonet 321 of the square tongue 32. The rotation of the first gear 42 drives the second gear 51 to rotate, and the positioning hole 511 of the second gear 51 rotates relative to the positioning block 521 of the third gear 52.

[0069] When the inner wall of the positioning hole 511 of the second gear 51 abuts the positioning block 521, the third gear 52 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the third gear 52 drives the rack 31 to move, causing the square tongue 32 to retract along the width direction of the housing 1. Because the length of the square tongue 32 extending from the housing 1 is longer than the length of the oblique tongue 21 extending from the housing 1, when the square tongue 32 retracts partially until the length of the square tongue 32 extending from the housing 1 is the same as the length of the oblique tongue 21 extending from the housing 1, the first transmission member 43 abuts the paddle 41, driving the oblique tongue 21 to retract along the width direction of the housing 1. In other words, the square tongue 32 and the oblique tongue 21 retract together into the housing 1.

[0070] This application also includes a smart door lock, including the opening and closing mechanism of the smart door lock described in any of the above items.
