[0020] By arranging the limiting piece 5 on the circumferential outer side wall of the square bar seat 2, the rotation angle of the limiting piece 5 is limited by the lock body shell 1, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the square bar seat 2, and the square bar seat 2 is automatically elastically reset through the square bar seat 2 reset elastic member, the above structure avoids arranging the rotation angle limiting structure and the door handle elastic reset structure in the door handle, thereby making a door handle adapt to different installation directions of the lock, effectively improving the universality of the lock, greatly simplifying the internal structure of the door handle, and reducing the manufacturing cost and operation failure rate of the door handle.

[0021] An arc-shaped hole 6 with its center located on the axis of the square bar seat 2 is arranged on the limiting piece 5, and a limiting column 7 is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the lock body shell 1;

[0022] Alternatively, an arc-shaped hole 6 with its center located on the axis of the square bar seat 2 is arranged on the inner side wall of the lock body shell 1, and a limiting column 7 is fixedly arranged on the limiting piece 5;

[0023] The limiting column 7 is inserted into the arc-shaped hole 6, and the limiting column 7 and the arc-shaped hole 6 can slide relative to each other along the extension direction of the arc-shaped hole 6, when the limiting column 7 is at one end of the extension direction of the arc-shaped hole 6, the square bar seat 2 is in the position state of locking, and when the limiting column 7 is at the other end of the extension direction of the arc-shaped hole 6, the square bar seat 2 is in the position state of unlocking.

[0024] The limiting piece 5 is limited in rotation angle by the limiting column 7 and the arc-shaped hole 6 on the inner wall of the lock body shell 1, which is simple in structure and convenient for production, manufacturing and assembly. In addition, the rotation angle of the limiting piece 5 can also be limited by setting blocking protrusions on both sides of the rotation direction of the limiting piece 5, which are all equivalent replacements that can be thought of by those skilled in the art according to the present application and belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] The limiting column 7 is a rivet arranged on the inner wall of the lock body shell 1 or the limiting piece 5. It can also be a pin, a convex bump or the like, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0026] The restoring elastic member of the square seat 2 is a torsion spring 8, and a torsion spring mounting shaft 9 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the lock body shell 1. The coil of the torsion spring 8 is arranged outside the torsion spring mounting shaft 9. One leg of the torsion spring 8 tightly abuts against the inner wall surface of the lock body shell 1 parallel to the torsion spring mounting shaft 9, and the other leg of the torsion spring 8 tightly abuts against the side wall surface of the limiting piece 5 in the rotation direction thereof. The torsion spring 8 provides a rotating torque for the square seat 2, and the square seat 2 automatically returns to the original position after losing external force. In addition to the torsion spring 8, a compression spring or a tension spring can also be used, which are all equivalent replacements that can be thought of by those skilled in the art according to the present application and belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0027] The other leg end of the torsion spring 8 is formed with a bending structure, the side wall surface of the limiting piece 5 in the rotation direction thereof is formed with an open groove structure 10, and the bending structure of the other leg end of the torsion spring 8 is inserted into the open groove structure 10 and tightly abuts against the bottom surface of the open groove structure 10. The above structure can improve the stability of the torque provided by the torsion spring 8 for the square seat 2 and prevent the two from being separated.

[0028] The driving arm 3 is hingedly arranged on the inner wall of the lock body shell 1 through a hinge shaft 11. The driving arm 3 forms a lever structure with the hinge shaft 11 as the fulcrum. A poking protrusion 12 is fixedly arranged on the limiting piece 5, and a poking step 13 is arranged on the sub-lock tongue assembly 4. The two end side walls of the driving arm 3 tightly abut against the surfaces of the poking protrusion 12 and the poking step 13, respectively. The driving arm 3 is designed as a lever structure, so that the torque output by the square seat 2 is larger and the door lock is easier to open.

[0029] A bearing 14 is arranged outside the poking protrusion 12. The circumferential outer surface of the bearing 14 can roll along the one end side wall of the driving arm 3. The square seat 2 drives the driving arm 3 by rolling on the one end side wall of the driving arm 3 through the bearing 14. The transmission of the bearing 14 is smoother, the friction is smaller, and the hand feels more relaxed and comfortable when opening the door.

[0030] The driving arm 3 has a push protrusion 15 formed on the side wall of the other end, which is in surface contact with the push step 13 on the sub-latch assembly 4 through a circular arc surface. The surface contact between the circular arc surface and the push step 13 on the sub-latch assembly 4 can reduce friction and interference, and make the unlocking more smooth and easy.

[0031] The distance from the contact point between the driving arm 3 and the push step 13 on the sub-latch assembly 4 to the hinged shaft 11 is greater than the distance from the contact point between the driving arm 3 and the push protrusion 12 on the limiting sheet 5 to the hinged shaft 11. Through the above structure, the door can be opened by gently turning the door handle, which is more labor-saving.
