Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a door locking structure, a door, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle doors provide access for drivers and passengers, isolate them from external interference, and mitigate side impacts to some extent, protecting occupants. When closed, the doors are locked by the interaction of the door lock cylinder and lock body.

[0003] In related technologies, users often lock car doors remotely. However, when the vehicle loses power, if the user does not have a mechanical key, they cannot lock the doors from the outside of the vehicle. They often need to use the mechanical key to enter the vehicle through the driver's side door to lock the other doors, which is inconvenient and provides a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a door locking structure, a door, and a vehicle to solve the technical problems existing in the related art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a door locking structure, which includes a first pull cable, a second pull cable, a toggle member, and a one-way linkage mechanism. The toggle member is movably disposed on the outside of the door body between a first position and a second position. One end of the first pull cable is connected to the toggle member, and the other end is connected to the one-way linkage mechanism. One end of the second pull cable is connected to the lock cylinder of the door lock, and the other end is connected to the one-way linkage mechanism.

[0006] As the actuating element moves from the first position to the second position, the one-way linkage mechanism enables the first pull cable and the second pull cable to move together, and the second pull cable can drive the lock cylinder to move to the locked position.

[0007] During the process of the toggle moving from the second position to the first position, the one-way linkage mechanism cannot link the first pull cable and the second pull cable together;

[0008] As the lock cylinder of the door lock moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the one-way linkage mechanism enables the second pull cable and the first pull cable to move together, and the first pull cable can drive the actuating member to move from the second position to the first position.

[0009] Optionally, the unidirectional linkage mechanism includes a first slider, a second slider, and a slider seat;

[0010] The slider seat is disposed on the door body;

[0011] The first slider is connected to the first pull wire, and the first slider can reciprocate on the slider seat along the first direction; the second slider is connected to the second pull wire, and the second slider can reciprocate on the slider seat along the first direction.

[0012] As the actuating element moves from the first position to the second position, the first slider can abut against the second slider and cause it to slide.

[0013] As the actuating element moves from the second position to the first position, the first slider gradually moves away from the second slider in the first direction and has no interaction force with the second slider.

[0014] As the lock cylinder of the car door lock moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the second slider can abut against the first slider and drive the first slider to slide.

[0015] Optionally, the slider seat is provided with a first slide groove and a second slide groove extending along the first direction, and the first slide groove and the second slide groove are arranged adjacent to each other along the second direction;

[0016] The first slider is slidably disposed in the first groove;

[0017] The second slider includes a first part and a second part connected to each other. The first part is slidably disposed in the first groove and can abut against the first slider. The second part is slidably disposed in the second groove and connected to the second pull wire.

[0018] Optionally, the one-way linkage mechanism includes a mounting base, a pawl, and a ratchet. The mounting base is disposed on the door body, the pawl is swayably disposed on the mounting base, and the ratchet is rotatably disposed on the mounting base.

[0019] The pawl is connected to the first pull cable, and the ratchet is connected to the second pull cable; when the actuating member moves from the first position to the second position, the pawl can drive the ratchet to rotate; when the actuating member moves from the second position to the first position, the pawl cannot apply driving force to the ratchet; when the door lock cylinder moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the ratchet can drive the pawl to swing; or...

[0020] The ratchet is connected to the first pull cable, and the pawl is connected to the second pull cable. When the actuating member moves from the first position to the second position, the ratchet can drive the pawl to swing. When the actuating member moves from the second position to the first position, the ratchet cannot apply driving force to the pawl. When the lock cylinder of the door lock moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the pawl can drive the ratchet to rotate.

[0021] Optionally, the one-way linkage mechanism further includes a ratchet shaft, the mounting base is provided with a pull wire groove, the ratchet is rotatably mounted on the mounting base via the ratchet shaft, and the first pull wire or the second pull wire is laid in the pull wire groove and is connected to the ratchet shaft for transmission.

[0022] Optionally, the one-way linkage mechanism further includes a limiting member disposed on the mounting base; the pawl is oscillatingly disposed on the mounting base between a first swing position and a second swing position;

[0023] When the first pull wire is connected to the pawl and the actuating member is in the first position, the pawl is in the first swing position and the pawl abuts against the limiting member;

[0024] When the second pull cable is connected to the pawl and the actuating member is in the first position, the pawl is in the first swing position and the pawl abuts against the limiting member.

[0025] Optionally, the door locking structure further includes a cable locking component, which secures the cable sleeve of the first cable and / or the second cable to the door body.

[0026] Optionally, the door locking structure further includes a cable buffer, which covers the cable sleeve of the first cable and / or the second cable.

[0027] This disclosure also provides a vehicle door, the vehicle door including the aforementioned vehicle door locking structure.

[0028] This disclosure also provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned door.

[0029] In the above technical solution, when the vehicle experiences a power outage and the doors cannot be locked remotely, the user can operate the toggle switch from the first position to the second position from the outside of the door. Because the one-way linkage mechanism enables the first and second cables to move together, the second cable drives the door lock cylinder to the locked position, thus locking the door. This allows locking the door without entering the vehicle, facilitating operation and providing a superior user experience. Furthermore, once the user has locked the door using this door locking structure, even if the toggle switch back from the second position to the first position, the one-way linkage mechanism cannot link the first and second cables. Even if the first cable moves under the toggle switch's influence, it cannot move the second cable, thus preventing the door lock from being unlocked. This avoids unlocking the door lock using the toggle switch and improves security. In addition, as the door lock cylinder moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the one-way linkage mechanism can link the first and second pull cables, and the first pull cable can drive the actuating element to reset from the second position to the first position without manual reset, which is convenient for users.

[0030] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0054] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and explanatory and do not limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this disclosure provides a door locking structure 100, which includes a first pull cable 1, a second pull cable 2, an actuating member 3, and a one-way linkage mechanism 4. The actuating member 3 is movably disposed on the outside of the door body between a first position and a second position. One end of the first pull cable 1 is connected to the actuating member 3, and the other end is connected to the one-way linkage mechanism 4. One end of the second pull cable 2 is connected to the lock cylinder of the door lock 10, and the other end is connected to the one-way linkage mechanism 4. When the actuating member 3 moves from the first position to the second position, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 enables the first pull cable 1 and the second pull cable 2 to move together, and the second pull cable 2 can drive the lock cylinder to the locked position. When the actuating member 3 moves from the second position to the first position, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 cannot enable the first pull cable 1 and the second pull cable 2 to move together. When the lock cylinder of the door lock 10 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 enables the second pull cable 2 and the first pull cable 1 to move together, and the first pull cable 1 can drive the toggle member 3 to move from the second position to the first position.

[0056] In the above technical solution, when the vehicle 300 experiences a power outage and cannot lock the door 200 via remote control, the user can operate the toggle 3 from the outside of the door 200 to switch the toggle 3 from the first position to the second position. Because the one-way linkage mechanism 4 can link the first pull cable 1 and the second pull cable 2, the second pull cable 2 can drive the lock cylinder of the door lock 10 to move to the locked position, thereby locking the door 200. The door can be locked without entering the door 200, which is convenient for operators and provides a high level of user experience. Furthermore, when a user locks the door lock 10 using the door locking structure 100 disclosed herein, even if the actuating element 3 is switched from the second position back to the first position, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 cannot link the first pull cable 1 and the second pull cable 2. Even if the first pull cable 1 moves under the action of the actuating element 3, it cannot move the second pull cable 2, thus preventing the door lock 10 from being unlocked. This avoids unlocking the door lock 10 through the actuating element 3, improving security. In addition, when the lock cylinder of the door lock 10 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 can link the first pull cable 1 and the second pull cable 2, and can cause the first pull cable 1 to drive the actuating element 3 to reset from the second position to the first position, eliminating the need for manual reset and simplifying user operation.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 5As shown, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 includes a first slider 41, a second slider 42, and a slider seat 43; the slider seat 43 is disposed on the door body. The first slider 41 is connected to the first pull cable 1, and the first slider 41 can reciprocate on the slider seat 43 along the first direction A; the second slider 42 is connected to the second pull cable 2, and the second slider 42 can reciprocate on the slider seat 43 along the first direction A. When the actuating member 3 moves from the first position to the second position, the first slider 41 can abut against the second slider 42 and drive it to slide. When the actuating member 3 moves from the second position to the first position, the first slider 41 gradually moves away from the second slider 42 in the first direction A and has no interaction force with the second slider 42. When the lock cylinder of the door lock 10 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the second slider 42 can abut against the first slider 41 and drive the first slider 41 to slide.

[0058] For example, the first direction A mentioned above is the vertical direction. The first slider 41 is located below the second slider 42. When the actuating member 3 moves from the first position to the second position, the first slider 41 moves upward and can abut against the second slider 42, causing the second slider 42 to slide upward. Since the second slider 42 is connected to the second pull cable 2, the second pull cable 2 also moves under the drive of the second slider 42 during the upward sliding of the second slider 42, thereby driving the lock cylinder of the door lock 10 connected to it to move to the locked position. However, when the actuating member 3 moves from the second position to the first position, the first slider 41 moves downward and gradually moves away from the second slider 42. That is, the first slider 41 and the second slider 42 do not move together. As the lock cylinder of the door lock 10 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the second pull cable 2 moves under the drive of the lock cylinder, causing the second slider 42 to move downward. During the downward movement of the second slider 42, it abuts against the first slider 41, causing the first slider 41 to move downward. During the downward movement of the first slider 41, the first pull cable 1 drives the actuating element 3 to move from the second position to the first position, achieving automatic reset of the actuating element 3. This one-way linkage mechanism 4 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, effectively reducing costs.

[0059] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the slider base 43 is provided with a first groove 431 and a second groove 432 extending along a first direction A, and the first groove 431 and the second groove 432 are arranged adjacent to each other along a second direction B; the first slider 41 is slidably disposed in the first groove 431; the second slider 42 includes a first part 421 and a second part 422 connected to each other, the first part 421 is slidably disposed in the first groove 431 and can abut against the first slider 41, and the second part 422 is slidably disposed in the second groove 432 and connected to the second pull wire 2. The slider base 43, the first slider 41 and the second slider 42 have a simple structure and can achieve a unidirectional linkage effect.

[0060] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 may further include a mounting base 44, a pawl 45, and a ratchet 46. The mounting base 44 is disposed on the door body, the pawl 45 is swayably disposed on the mounting base 44, and the ratchet 46 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 44. The pawl 45 is connected to the first pull cable 1, and the ratchet 46 is connected to the second pull cable 2. When the actuating member 3 moves from the first position to the second position, the pawl 45 can drive the ratchet 46 to rotate. When the actuating member 3 moves from the second position to the first position, the pawl 45 cannot apply driving force to the ratchet 46. When the lock cylinder of the door lock 10 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the ratchet 46 can drive the pawl 45 to swing.

[0061] That is, in this embodiment, by setting the one-way linkage mechanism 4 as a ratchet mechanism, the one-way linkage effect can also be achieved, so that the door lock 10 can be locked from outside the vehicle even when the power is off. This disclosure does not limit the specific structural design of the one-way linkage mechanism 4.

[0062] In the modified implementation, refer to Figure 7 As shown, alternatively, ratchet 46 can be connected to the first cable 1, and pawl 45 can be connected to the second cable 2. When the actuating element 3 moves from the first position to the second position, ratchet 46 can drive pawl 45 to swing. When the actuating element 3 moves from the second position to the first position, ratchet 46 cannot apply driving force to pawl 45. When the lock cylinder of the door lock 10 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, pawl 45 can drive ratchet 46 to rotate. This also achieves a one-way linkage effect, allowing the door lock 10 to be locked from outside the vehicle even in the event of a power outage.

[0063] In another embodiment, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 also includes a ratchet shaft 47. A cable groove 440 is provided on the mounting base 44. The ratchet 46 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 44 via the ratchet shaft 47. The first cable 1 or the second cable 2 is laid in the cable groove 440 and is drivenly connected to the ratchet shaft 47. The cable groove 440 facilitates the guidance of the first cable 1 or the second cable 2, preventing bending. Furthermore, the drive connection between the first cable 1 or the second cable 2 and the ratchet shaft 47 improves the ease of connection.

[0064] It should be noted that both the first pull wire 1 and the second pull wire 2 mentioned above include a pull wire sleeve and a pull wire body disposed within the pull wire sleeve. The movement of the first pull wire 1 and the second pull wire 2 mentioned above refers to the movement of the pull wire body. Furthermore, the pull wire body of this disclosure is constructed as a rigid pull wire, meaning that it can achieve the effect of force transmission whether it is pulled or pushed.

[0065] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the one-way linkage mechanism 4 also includes a limiting member 48, which is disposed on the mounting base 44. A pawl 45 is swayably disposed on the mounting base 44 between a first swing position and a second swing position. When the first pull cable 1 is connected to the pawl 45 and the actuating member 3 is in the first position, the pawl 45 is in the first swing position, and the pawl 45 abuts against the limiting member 48. When the second pull cable 2 is connected to the pawl 45 and the actuating member 3 is in the first position, the pawl 45 is in the first swing position, and the pawl 45 abuts against the limiting member 48. By setting this limiting member 48, excessive rotation of the pawl 45 can be avoided, which would affect the durability of the product and extend its service life. For example, the limiting member 48 can be constructed as a limiting pin, but this disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the limiting member 48.

[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the door locking structure 100 also includes a cable locking member 5, which secures the cable sleeves of the first cable 1 and / or the second cable 2 to the door body. This improves the stability of the first cable 1 and / or the second cable 2, preventing them from wobbling. The cable locking member 5 can be constructed in any suitable shape and structure, and this disclosure does not limit it. For example, the cable locking member 5 can be constructed as a fixing buckle that engages with the door body.

[0067] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the door locking structure 100 also includes a cable buffer 6, which covers the cable sleeve of the first cable 1 and / or the second cable 2. The cable buffer 6 cushions the first cable 1 and / or the second cable 2 from hitting the door glass when they swing, preventing damage to the door glass. For example, the cable buffer 6 can be constructed as cushioning foam, but this disclosure does not limit the specific material of the cable buffer 6.

[0068] Furthermore, the aforementioned toggle member 3 can be installed on the exterior door handle assembly 20. For example, the toggle member 3 can be constructed as a toggle lever, which is connected to the first pull cable 1 and rotatably mounted on the door handle assembly 20.

[0069] Reference Figure 8 As shown, this disclosure also provides a car door 200, which includes a car door body and the aforementioned car door locking structure 100.

[0070] Reference Figure 8 As shown, this disclosure also provides a vehicle 300, which includes the aforementioned door 200.

[0071] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0072] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0073] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
