Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a locking device for a docking bed. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing medical docking beds use a pin and latch structure. During docking, the bed is pushed from a designated direction to the corresponding position on the bed support, causing the pin to engage with the latch and lock the bed in place. To unlock, the latch is released, and the bed is pushed out from the designated direction. However, docking using the pin and latch structure only allows for one-way pushing and pushing; otherwise, the bed cannot be locked. Furthermore, unlocking can only be done from the location where the pin and latch are set, which is very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a docking bed locking device in this embodiment includes a left main lock 1, a right main lock 2, a linkage shaft 3 connecting the left main lock 1 and the right main lock 2, and four unlocking handles. The left main lock 1 and the right main lock 2 have the same main lock structure, as shown... Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the main lock structure includes a lock housing 15 and a bolt 11, a return spring 12, an unlocking block 13, an unlocking shaft 14, and a bolt guide seat 16 housed within the lock housing 15. Figure 6As shown, the unlocking block 13 includes two vertically arranged rectangular blocks. One rectangular block has a first through hole 131 and a first sliding groove 133, with the axis of the first sliding groove 133 perpendicular to the axis of the first through hole 131. The other rectangular block has a second through hole 132, a second sliding groove 134, a groove 135, and a latch hole for mounting the latch 11, with the axis of the second sliding groove 134 perpendicular to the axis of the second through hole 132. The axes of the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 are perpendicular to each other and have a height difference. The two sides of the first through hole 131 and the second through hole 132 are arc-shaped and connected by a straight line. The inner height of the first through hole 131 is greater than the diameter of the linkage shaft 3, allowing the unlocking block 13 to move up and down relative to the linkage shaft 3. The inner height of the second through hole 132 is greater than the diameter of the unlocking shaft 14, allowing the unlocking block 13 to move up and down relative to the unlocking shaft 14.
[0026] The linkage shaft 3 is installed in the first through hole 131 of the left main lock 1 and the right main lock 2, with both ends of the linkage shaft 3 extending out of the first through hole 131. The unlocking shaft 14 is installed in the second through hole 132, with the axis of the linkage shaft 3 perpendicular to the axis of the unlocking shaft 14 and the linkage shaft 3 located above the unlocking shaft 14. One end of the return spring 13 is fixed to the inner top surface of the lock box 15, and the other end is fixed in the groove 135. The latch 11 is installed in the latch hole via the pin 20. The latch guide seat 16 is located at the bottom of the main lock structure, and the latch guide seat 16 has a guide groove 161, in which the latch 11 slides. The lock box 15 has openings corresponding to the positions of the linkage shaft 3, the unlocking shaft 14, and the latch 11 for the corresponding components to extend out.
[0027] A first cam 31 is fitted onto the linkage shaft 3. One side of the first cam 31 abuts against the unlocking block 13. A first pin 32 is provided at the protruding point of the first cam 31, and one end of the first pin 32 is located in the first slide groove 133. When the linkage shaft 3 rotates, the first cam 31 rotates with the linkage shaft 3, causing the first pin 32 to drive the unlocking block 13 and the locking tongue 11 to slide upward and unlock. A second cam 141 is fitted onto the unlocking shaft 14. One side of the second cam 141 abuts against the unlocking block 13. A second pin 142 is provided at the protruding point of the second cam 141, and one end of the second pin 142 is located in the second slide groove 134. When the unlocking shaft 14 rotates, the second cam 141 rotates with the unlocking shaft 14, causing the second pin 142 to drive the unlocking block 13 and the locking tongue 11 to slide upward and unlock.
[0028] Linkage shaft 3 connects the left master lock 1 and the right master lock 2. Both ends of linkage shaft 3 extend from the left master lock 1 and the right master lock 2 and are respectively connected to the first unlocking handle 4 and the third unlocking handle 6. The unlocking shafts 14 of the left master lock 1 and the right master lock 2 extend in opposite directions. The unlocking shaft 14 of the left master lock 1 is connected to the second unlocking handle 5 via an extension rod 51, and the unlocking shaft 14 of the right master lock 2 is connected to the fourth unlocking handle 7 via an extension rod 71. The left master lock 1, the right master lock 2, and the four unlocking handles are all installed on the docking bed 17. The left master lock 1 and the right master lock 2 are fixedly installed on the docking bed 17 via a mounting plate 19. Figure 9 As shown, the bed support used in conjunction with the docking bed 17 is provided with a locking stop 18. The locking stop 18 has inclined surfaces on both sides and a locking hole in the middle of the locking stop 18 that cooperates with the locking tongue 11.
[0029] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the working principle of the docking bed locking device of the present invention is as follows: During docking, the docking bed 17 is pushed into the bed support 18 from either the front or rear side. When the locking tongue 11 passes the inclined surface of the locking stop 181, it gradually retracts into the lock box 15. After entering the lock hole, under the action of the return spring 12, the locking tongue 11 extends and locks into the lock hole, completing the docking bed locking. During unlocking, any unlocking handle can be rotated. When the first unlocking handle 4 or the third unlocking handle 6 is rotated, the linkage shaft 3 rotates and drives the first deflector 32 to push the unlocking block 13 and the locking tongue 11 upward to slide and unlock. The left main lock 1 and the right main lock 2 are unlocked simultaneously under the action of the linkage shaft 3. When the second unlocking handle 5 or the fourth unlocking handle 4 is rotated, the unlocking shaft 14 rotates and drives the second deflector 142 to push the unlocking block 13 and the locking tongue 11 upward to slide and unlock. The upward sliding of the unlocking block 13 drives the linkage shaft 3 to rotate, and the left main lock 1 and the right main lock 2 are unlocked simultaneously under the action of the linkage shaft 3.
[0030] This invention features four unlocking handles located near the four sides of the docking bed, allowing for unlocking from multiple directions without requiring a specific location, thus enhancing convenience. The two main locks are connected by a linkage shaft, enabling simultaneous unlocking by rotating either unlocking handle. The locking device is centrally symmetrical, allowing the docking bed to be pushed in from either front or rear. The use of a locking tongue provides greater locking strength compared to a snap-fit structure, allowing the docking bed to withstand greater pushing and pulling forces. A return spring ensures automatic locking upon docking bed insertion and when the unlocking handle is not rotated, guaranteeing the stability of the docking bed.
