[0044] The term "and / or" is a description of the association between objects, which means that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B, which means: A or B, or, A and B, the three relationships.
[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.
[0046] This disclosure provides a door lock assembly and a housing device. Rotating the handle drives the push rod to move and press the bolt through the linkage assembly, thereby unlocking the door lock assembly. This solves the problem of inconvenience for users in unlocking the door and improves the user experience.
[0047] This disclosure provides a door lock assembly, including a drive push rod 1, a latch 3, a fixed push rod 2, a sealing plug 204, and a vacuum device 5. The drive push rod 1 is connected to a handle 6 via a connecting rod assembly 4 and has a vacuum chamber 101 inside. The latch 3 includes a first abutment surface 3011 that abuts against the drive push rod 1, and a second abutment surface 3012 corresponding to the first abutment surface 3011. The fixed push rod 2 includes a first insertion portion 201 inserted into the vacuum chamber 101, the first insertion portion 201 being a hollow structure with a hole plug 203. The sealing plug 204 is disposed between the first insertion portion 201 and the drive push rod 1 to seal the vacuum chamber 101. The vacuum device 5 includes a suction pipe 501 inserted into the hole plug 203. The vacuum device 5 can be connected to the vacuum chamber 101 through the first plug-in part 201. When the door lock assembly is in the locked state, the latch 3 abuts against the fixed push rod 2. The handle 6 can drive the drive push rod 1 to move through the linkage assembly 4 and squeeze the first abutment surface 3011 of the latch 3 so that the latch 3 moves and disengages from the fixed push rod 2. At the same time, the vacuum device 5 evacuates the vacuum chamber 101 so that the drive push rod 1 can drive the fixed push rod 2 to move, thereby making the door lock assembly in the unlocked state.
[0048] Understandably, the first abutment surface 3011 of the latch 3 is set as an inclined surface. This allows the latch 3 to move vertically and reposition itself when the drive push rod 1 or the fixed push rod 2 moves horizontally and presses against the first abutment surface 3011, thereby unlocking or locking the door lock assembly. When the first insertion part 201 of the fixed push rod 2 is inserted into the vacuum chamber 101 of the drive push rod 1, it can cooperate with the sealing plug 204 to seal the vacuum chamber 101. The suction pipe 501 is inserted into the plug 203, allowing air to be extracted from the vacuum chamber 101 through the first insertion part 201. At this time, the air pressure in the vacuum chamber 101 can drive the fixed push rod 2 towards the drive push rod 1.
[0049] Specifically, the first insertion part 201 of the fixed push rod 2 is inserted into the vacuum chamber 101 of the drive push rod 1, and the first insertion part 201 can slide back and forth within the vacuum chamber 101. Simultaneously, a limiting structure is provided within the vacuum chamber 101, and a limiting protrusion is provided at the position corresponding to the limiting structure of the first insertion part 201. When the first insertion part 201 slides outward to its maximum position, the limiting structure can stop the limiting protrusion to prevent the first insertion part 201 from disengaging from the vacuum chamber 101. When the door lock assembly is in the locked state, the drive push rod 1 disengages from the latch 3, and the fixed push rod 2 is in the locked position and abuts against the second contact surface 3012 of the latch 3. Rotating the handle 6 can drive the drive push rod 1 horizontally towards the fixed push rod 2 via the connecting rod assembly 4, and press the first contact surface 3011 of the latch 3, causing the latch 3 to move vertically to make room and disengage from the fixed push rod 2. At this time, the vacuum device 5 extracts the air from the vacuum chamber 101, so that the fixed push rod 2 moves to the unlock position in the direction of the drive push rod 1, thereby making the door lock assembly in the unlocked state.
[0050] When the door lock assembly is in the unlocked state, pushing the handle 6 causes the drive push rod 1 and the fixed push rod 2 to move horizontally towards the bolt 3 via the linkage assembly 4, pressing the first abutment surface 3011 of the bolt 3, so that the bolt 3 moves vertically to make room. When the fixed push rod 2 moves to the locked position, the bolt 3 falls, and the fixed push rod 2 abuts against the second abutment surface 3012 of the bolt 3, so that the door lock assembly is in the locked state.
[0051] In some embodiments, the drive push rod 1 further includes a pressure relief valve 102. The pressure relief valve 102 is disposed on the wall surface of the drive push rod 1.
[0052] Specifically, the latch 3 is also equipped with a detection device. When the detection device detects that the fixed push rod 2 has disengaged from the latch 3, it can control the pressure relief valve 102 to open, so that the vacuum chamber 101 returns to normal pressure, thus preventing the fixed push rod 2 from failing to engage with the latch 3 when locking the door lock assembly. Preferably, the detection device is a photosensitive sensor.
[0053] In some embodiments, the vacuum device 5 further includes a fixed switch 502. The fixed switch 502 is disposed outside the suction pipe 501, and a pressure sensor is disposed on the end face that abuts against the fixed push rod 2.
[0054] Specifically, the first distance L1 between the fixed switch 502 and the opening of the suction pipe 501 is greater than or equal to 0.5 cm, for example, it can be 0.5 cm, 1 cm, or 1.5 cm. This setting ensures that after the suction pipe 501 is inserted into the plug 203, the fixed push rod 2 then abuts against the fixed switch 502. When the pressure sensor detects that the fixed push rod 2 abuts against the fixed switch 502, the vacuum device 5 can be controlled to extract air from the vacuum chamber 101.
[0055] In some embodiments, the handle 6 includes a cam that abuts against the linkage assembly 4. When the handle 6 is rotated, the linkage assembly 4 can be moved by the cam.
[0056] Specifically, the handle 6 includes a cam and a latch directly connected to the cam. The latch includes a first end connected to the cam, and the first end of the latch is provided with a pivot. The user can rotate the handle 6 around the pivot via the latch, thereby driving the linkage assembly 4 to move via the cam.
[0057] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 4 includes a main linkage 401 and a secondary linkage 402. The main linkage 401 includes a first end that abuts against a cam of the handle 6 and a second end disposed opposite to the first end; one end of the secondary linkage 402 is rotatably connected to the second end of the main linkage 401, and the other end is rotatably connected to the drive push rod 1. The first end of the main linkage 401 is disposed below the second end.
[0058] Specifically, the main connecting rod 401 and the drive push rod 1 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the auxiliary connecting rod 402 is used to connect the main connecting rod 401 and the drive push rod 1. When the door lock assembly is in the locked state, the main connecting rod 401 and the auxiliary connecting rod 402 are in the locked position. The handle 6 is rotated and the cam lifts the main connecting rod 401, which in turn drives the drive push rod 1 to move through the auxiliary connecting rod 402.
[0059] It is understandable that since the secondary connecting rod 402 is rotatably connected to the main connecting rod 401 and the drive push rod 1, when the main connecting rod 401 drives the drive push rod 1 to move through the secondary connecting rod 402, the drive push rod 1 can be guaranteed to move along a predetermined trajectory. For example, the drive push rod 1 can be made to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the main connecting rod 401.
[0060] In some embodiments, the angle between the secondary connecting rod 402 and the axis of the drive push rod 1 is a first angle θ. When the door lock assembly is in the locked state, the first angle θ is less than or equal to 45°.
[0061] Specifically, the first included angle θ is less than or equal to 45°. For example, it can be 40°, 35°, or 30°. This setting is more conducive to the main connecting rod 401 driving the drive push rod 1 to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the main connecting rod 401.
[0062] Furthermore, when the door lock assembly is in the locked state, the first included angle θ is at its maximum. Rotating the handle 6 lifts the main connecting rod 401 via the cam, which in turn drives the push rod 1 to move via the secondary connecting rod 402. At this time, the door lock assembly is in the unlocked state, and the first included angle θ is at its minimum.
[0063] In some embodiments, the main connecting rod 401 is vertically arranged, and the drive push rod 1 is horizontally arranged. When the door lock assembly is in the locked state, the handle 6 rotates, and the cam drives the main connecting rod 401 to move vertically upward, which in turn drives the drive push rod 1 to move horizontally through the auxiliary connecting rod 402 to press the latch 3.
[0064] Specifically, when the door lock is in the locked state, the drive push rod 1 is in the unlocked position, and the main connecting rod 401 abuts against the cam of the handle 6 and is at its lowest point. When the handle 6 is rotated, the cam pushes the main connecting rod 401 up, and through the secondary connecting rod 402, drives the drive push rod 1 to move horizontally towards the fixed push rod 2. The drive push rod 1 presses against the first abutment surface 3011 of the latch 3, causing the latch 3 to move vertically to make room.
[0065] In some embodiments, the door lock assembly further includes a first elastic element 7. One end of the first elastic element 7 abuts against the drive push rod 1, and the other end abuts against the fixed push rod 2.
[0066] Specifically, when the door lock assembly is in the unlocked state, pushing the handle 6 causes the drive push rod 1 and the fixed push rod 2 to move horizontally towards the latch 3 via the linkage assembly 4, pressing the first abutment surface 3011 of the latch 3, so that the latch 3 moves vertically to make room. When the fixed push rod 2 moves to the locked position, the first elastic element 7 pushes the fixed push rod 2, so that the first insertion part 201 slides outward to its maximum position within the vacuum chamber 101. At the same time, the latch 3 resets, and the fixed push rod 2 abuts against the second abutment surface 3012 of the latch 3, so that the door lock assembly is in the locked state.
[0067] Furthermore, the locking tongue 3 is symmetrically arranged in two sets, one above the other.
[0068] Understandably, symmetrically arranging two sets of latches 3 is beneficial to the stability of the door lock assembly when it is locked. At the same time, this arrangement can distribute the force on each individual latch 3, which helps to improve the durability of the door lock assembly.
[0069] In some embodiments, the latch 3 is further provided with a second elastic element 303. When the drive push rod 1 disengages from the latch 3, the second elastic element 303 can drive the latch 3 to reset.
[0070] Specifically, when the fixed push rod 2 moves to the locked position, the second elastic element 303 pushes the fixed push rod 2 so that the first insertion part 201 slides outward to the maximum position in the vacuum chamber 101. At the same time, the second elastic element 303 pushes the latch 3 to reset, and the fixed push rod 2 abuts against the second abutment surface 3012 of the latch 3 so that the door lock assembly is in the locked state.
[0071] In some embodiments, the latch 3 includes a second insertion portion 302 and a second abutment portion 301 corresponding to the second insertion portion 302. The second abutment portion 301 includes a first abutment surface 3011 and a second abutment surface 3012.
[0072] Specifically, the second insertion portion 302 of the locking tongue 3 is inserted into the sliding sleeve 304, and the locking tongue 3 can slide within the sliding sleeve 304. A stop member 305 is provided at the end of the second insertion portion 302 opposite to the second abutment portion 301. The stop member 305 abuts against the sliding sleeve 304 to prevent the locking tongue 3 from disengaging from the sliding sleeve 304. Simultaneously, the first end of the second elastic element 303 abuts against the second abutment portion 301, and the second end abuts against the sliding sleeve 304.
[0073] This disclosure also provides a cabinet device including a cabinet, a main door 8 disposed at the opening of the cabinet, and a secondary door 9 disposed outside the main door 8, and also includes the aforementioned door lock assembly.
[0074] Specifically, the refrigerator is a door-in-door refrigerator, and the door lock assembly can lock the secondary door 9 to the main door 8. When the secondary door 9 is locked to the main door 8, the main door 8 and the secondary door 9 can rotate synchronously to open or close the opening of the refrigerator. When the secondary door 9 is unlocked to the main door 8, the secondary door 9 can rotate independently to open or close the main door 8.
[0075] In some embodiments, the vacuum device 5 and the latch 3 are disposed inside the main door 8; and the drive push rod 1 and the connecting rod assembly 4 are disposed inside the secondary door 9.
[0076] Specifically, the main door 8 is provided with a fixing groove that can accommodate the latch 3, and the latch 3 is slidably disposed in the fixing groove. Among them, a bushing fixing structure is provided in the fixing groove, and the sliding bushing 304 is fixedly disposed in the bushing fixing structure.
[0077] In some embodiments, the secondary door 9 is provided with a first mounting groove 901 for mounting the main connecting rod 401; and the first mounting groove 901 is provided with a guide structure 9011 for guiding the movement of the main connecting rod 401.
[0078] Specifically, the guide structure 9011 is a protrusion, and the guide structure 9011 fits against the main connecting rod 401 so that the main connecting rod 401 moves along a predetermined trajectory. When the handle 6 drives the main connecting rod 401 to move vertically in the first mounting groove 901, the guide structure 9011 can prevent the main connecting rod 401 from moving horizontally.
[0079] In some embodiments, the secondary door 9 is further provided with a second mounting groove 902, and the drive push rod 1 is slidably disposed in the second mounting groove 902; and the second mounting groove 902 is disposed perpendicular to the first mounting groove 901.
[0080] Specifically, the second mounting groove 902 is perpendicular to the first mounting groove 901 so that the movement direction of the drive push rod 1 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the main connecting rod 401.
