[0118] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0119] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in this disclosure can be combined with each other. The technical solutions of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0120] Unless otherwise stated, the exemplary implementations / embodiments shown are to be understood as providing exemplary features of various details that provide ways in which the technical concepts of this disclosure can be implemented in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the features of various implementations / embodiments may be additionally combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concepts of this disclosure.

[0121] The use of crosshairs and / or shading in the accompanying drawings is generally used to clarify the boundaries between adjacent components. Thus, unless otherwise stated, the presence or absence of crosshairs or shading does not convey or indicate any preference or requirement for the specific material, material properties, dimensions, proportions, commonalities between the illustrated components, or any other characteristics, properties, etc., of the components. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, the dimensions and relative dimensions of components may be exaggerated for clarity and / or descriptive purposes. When exemplary embodiments can be implemented differently, a specific process sequence may be performed in a different order than that described. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order of their description. Furthermore, the same reference numerals denote the same components.

[0122] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "above" another component, "connected to," or "joined to" another component, the component may be directly on, directly connected to, or directly joined to the other component, or there may be intermediate components. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on" another component, "directly connected to," or "directly joined to" another component, there are no intermediate components. Therefore, the term "connection" can refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., and may or may not have intermediate components.

[0123] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” another component or feature would subsequently be positioned “above” said other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0124] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well. Furthermore, when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” and variations thereof are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof. It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” and other similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree, thus explaining the inherent biases in measurements, calculated values, and / or provided values ​​that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0125] Figure 1 This is an exploded structural diagram of a locking device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a locking device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a locking device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure from another angle.

[0126] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when in use, the locking device disclosed herein can be installed inside the sliding door (sliding door) of a vehicle (motor vehicle), thereby enabling the sliding door to be opened and locked to the vehicle body (i.e., the vehicle body).

[0127] Specifically, the locking device disclosed herein may include components such as a lock housing 100, a bolt component 200, a pawl assembly 300, a drive assembly 400, a power output component 500, and an unlocking component 600.

[0128] The lock housing 100 houses components such as the bolt assembly 200, the pawl assembly 300, the drive assembly 400, the power output assembly 500, and the unlocking assembly 600. In use, the locking device of this disclosure can be secured by fixing the lock housing 100 to a sliding door of a motor vehicle.

[0129] In one specific embodiment, the lock case 100 may include components such as a base plate 110, a lower housing 120, and an upper housing 130.

[0130] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a base plate according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of the base plate from another angle according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the upper housing and drive device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the upper housing and drive device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0131] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the base plate 110 is formed as a bent structure, for example, it can be set to a generally L-shape, and correspondingly, the upper housing 130 is also set to a generally L-shape. Thus, the locking device of this disclosure can be generally L-shaped so that the locking device of this disclosure can be conveniently arranged inside the sliding door of a motor vehicle.

[0132] The base plate 110 can form a slot 111 through which the latch passes. Thus, when the lock device of the present disclosure is in use, the latch can be inserted into the interior of the lock housing 100 through the slot 111 and held by the latch member 200, thereby realizing the locking function of the lock device; at the same time, when the latch member 200 releases the latch, the unlocking function of the lock device is realized.

[0133] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a drive device 410 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of the drive device 410 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure from another angle.

[0134] like Figure 2 , Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the drive assembly 400 of this disclosure is used to provide driving force. Specifically, the drive assembly 400 of this disclosure may include a drive device 410 and a gear component 420; wherein, the drive device 410 is used to provide driving force.

[0135] Specifically, the drive device 410 of this disclosure may include a motor 411 and a worm gear structure 412 that is drively connected to the motor 411. The motor 411 may be fixed to the upper housing 130. For example, a space for accommodating the motor 411 is formed in the upper housing 130. Accordingly, the motor 411 can be disposed in the space and fixed to the upper housing 130.

[0136] A worm can be installed on the output shaft of the motor 411. The worm is connected to the worm wheel drive. The worm wheel shaft is the output shaft of the drive device 410. A pinion 413 can be installed on the output shaft of the drive device 410. The pinion 413 can mesh with the gear component 420 and drive the gear component 420 to rotate, thereby enabling the gear component 420 to have a large output torque.

[0137] The gear component 420 is rotatably disposed on the lock housing 100; and the gear component 420 has a third axis of rotation, so as to Figure 2 As shown, the third axis of rotation has a direction that is approximately perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Thus, when the gear component 420 is driven by the drive device 410 and rotates clockwise, the gear component 420 can drive the power output component 500 to operate, and output power for unlocking through the power output component 500, thereby unlocking the locking device of this disclosure.

[0138] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the power output component and the unlocking component according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 11 This is another structural schematic diagram of the power output component and the unlocking component according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0139] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the power output component 500 of this disclosure is generally V-shaped and is rotatably disposed in the lock housing 100. Specifically, the power output component 500 includes a first output component portion 510 and a second output component portion 520, with one end of the first output component portion 510 connected to the second output component portion 520.

[0140] A through hole is provided at the connection between the first part 510 and the second part 520 of the output component. A connecting piece such as a pin or anchor passes through the through hole and is fixed to the lock housing 100, so that the power output component 500 can rotate relative to the lock housing 100, thus realizing a rotatable connection with the lock housing 100.

[0141] In a preferred embodiment, the rotation axis of the power output component 500 is parallel or substantially parallel to the third rotation axis, thereby enabling smoother power transmission between the gear component 420 and the power output component 500.

[0142] The first portion 510 of the output component forms an arm of the power output component 500, and the gear component 420 is capable of applying a driving force to the first portion 510 of the output component; more specifically, a columnar protrusion 540 is formed at the other end of the first portion 510 of the output component. The gear component 420 can be an incomplete gear, for example, it can be a sector gear, and one side surface of the gear component 420 can contact the outer peripheral surface of the columnar protrusion 540, thereby driving the power output component 500 to rotate.

[0143] More preferably, the axis of the columnar protrusion 540 is arranged parallel to the third rotation axis and has a first preset distance, so that when the gear component 420 applies force to the power output component 500, the force has a lever arm of a preset length (the same as the first preset distance).

[0144] The second part 520 of the output component forms another arm of the power output component 500; wherein, the other end of the second part 520 of the output component is connected to the output power cable 700 to output power to the transfer mechanism (not shown) through the output power cable 700.

[0145] In a preferred embodiment, the power output component 500 may further include a third output component portion 530, one end of which can be connected to the connection between the first output component portion 510 and the second output component portion 520. The third output component portion 530 is used to cooperate with the first limiting component 550 to limit the position of the power output component 500; specifically, as Figure 10 As shown, when the gear component 420 rotates clockwise, it drives the power output component 500 to rotate counterclockwise; and when the gear component 420 moves counterclockwise towards its midpoint, the power output component 500 will perform a clockwise reset action. After the power output component 500 has rotated clockwise a preset distance, the third part 530 of the output component will contact the first limiting component 550 and be blocked by the first limiting component 550 to prevent the power output component 500 from continuing to rotate clockwise. At this time, the columnar protrusion 540 is located within the motion envelope of the gear component 420, preparing for the next time the gear component 420 drives the power output component 500.

[0146] In this disclosure, the first limiting component 550 can be installed on a component such as the base plate 110, or the first limiting component 550 can be integrally formed with the base plate 110.

[0147] In one specific embodiment, the output power cable 700 can be a Bowden cable, the outer tube of which can be fixed to the lock housing 100, for example, to the base plate 110 of the lock housing 100. The core wire of the Bowden cable is fixedly connected to the other end of the second part 520 of the output component. Thus, when the power output component 500 of this disclosure rotates, the outer tube of the Bowden cable remains stationary, while the core wire of the Bowden cable is driven to move relative to the outer tube, thereby realizing the transmission of power.

[0148] In this disclosure, the other end of the output power cable 700 can be connected to a transfer mechanism (not shown in the figure). Thus, the power output component 500 of this disclosure can output power to the transfer mechanism. After receiving the pulling force transmitted by the output power cable 700, the transfer mechanism can output multiple, such as three, unlocking powers. One of the unlocking powers can be provided to the locking device, another unlocking power can be provided to the sliding door front lock (not shown in the figure), and the third unlocking power can be provided to the fully unlocked door (not shown in the figure).

[0149] The structure of the transfer mechanism can adopt the structure in the prior art. The working method of the transfer mechanism will not be described in detail in this disclosure.

[0150] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the transfer mechanism of this disclosure is connected to the unlocking component 600 via an input power cable 800, thereby enabling the unlocking component 600 to receive the unlocking power output by the transfer mechanism, causing the unlocking component 600 to rotate. Figure 10 (clockwise direction) and drive the pawl assembly 300 to move so that the locking device is unlocked.

[0151] The rotation axis of the unlocking component 600 disclosed herein may be parallel or substantially parallel to the third rotation axis. Furthermore, the unlocking component 600 may include a first unlocking arm 610 and a second unlocking arm 620, with one end of the first unlocking arm 610 connected to one end of the second unlocking arm 620. Preferably, the rotation axis of the unlocking component 600 may be located at the junction of the first unlocking arm 610 and the second unlocking arm 620.

[0152] The other end of the first unlocking arm 610 is connected to an input power cable 800, and the unlocking component 600 rotates through the unlocking power input via the input power cable 800. Specifically, when the transfer mechanism inputs unlocking power to the unlocking component 600 via the input power cable 800, the unlocking component 600 will rotate clockwise (towards...). Figure 10 (As shown in the direction), correspondingly, the second unlocking arm 620 will drive the pawl assembly 300 to actuate, thereby unlocking the locking device. The unlocking process of the locking device disclosed herein will be described in detail below.

[0153] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the locking device of this disclosure further includes a pull-out release lever component 920, which can have the same axis of rotation as the unlocking component 600, thereby facilitating the unlocking component 600 to drive the pull-out release lever component 920 to rotate.

[0154] The disclosed pull-out lever component 920 includes a pull-out lever first feature 921, which engages with a first unlocking arm 610. This allows the unlocking member 600 to be driven to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the pull-out lever component 920 to release the pull-out device 401 and causing the pull-out device 401 to release the latch member 200. Then, the pawl assembly 300 releases the latch member 200, causing it to rotate and unlock. In one specific embodiment, the pull-out lever first feature 921 may be a limiting block extending from one arm of the pull-out lever component 920. The pull-out device 401 may be configured as a lever.

[0155] In this disclosure, the unlocking component 600 and / or the suction release lever component 920 can be positioned by the second limiting component 630. Specifically, the second limiting component 630 can be fixed to the lock housing 100, for example, fixed to the base plate 110 of the lock housing 100; Figure 10 As shown, when the unlocking component 600 and / or the pull-off release lever component 920 are driven to rotate clockwise, the lock device can be unlocked. At the same time, when the unlocking power is lost, the unlocking component 600 and / or the pull-off release lever component 920 will rotate counterclockwise under the action of the return spring. During the counterclockwise rotation, the unlocking component 600 and / or the pull-off release lever component 920 can contact the second limiting component 630 and be limited by the second limiting component 630. In this position, the pull-off release lever component 920 can restrict the clockwise rotation of the engaging device 401.

[0156] Those skilled in the art should understand that the unlocking component 600 can reset simultaneously with the attraction release lever component 920. Alternatively, it can reset at different times than the attraction release lever component 920, in which case the unlocking component 600 can reset first, followed by the attraction release lever component 920.

[0157] like Figure 11 As shown, the gear component 420 of this disclosure includes a first drive unit 421, which is used to drive the center position indicator 910 to move and trigger the center position switch 911 through the center position indicator 910 so as to indicate the position of the gear component 420 through the center position switch 911.

[0158] refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the gear component 420 is along the first direction ( Figure 11 When the gear component 420 rotates counterclockwise and leaves the neutral position, the gear component 420 drives the neutral position indicator 910, which triggers the neutral position switch 911, and the neutral position switch 911 can generate a trigger signal; wherein, when the gear component 420 rotates in the first direction, the gear component 420 drives the power output component 500 to operate.

[0159] Continue to refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the gear component 420 returns from a state of driving the power output component 500 to the neutral position ( Figure 11 When the indicated position is reached, the neutral position indicator 910 is reset to the initial position where the neutral position switch 911 is not triggered. Figure 11 (The location shown).

[0160] Figure 11 The reset spring of the neutral position indicator 910 is shown. The neutral position indicator 910 is reset to its initial position, which does not trigger the neutral position switch 911, by the reset force provided by the reset spring of the neutral position indicator 910. Figure 11 (The location shown).

[0161] Continue to refer to Figure 11 When the gear component 420 starts from the middle position along a second direction opposite to the first direction ( Figure 11 When the indicator rod 910 is rotated clockwise, it is driven by the elastic force (i.e., spring return force) provided by the reset spring of the indicator rod, which causes the indicator rod 910 to trigger the neutral switch 911.

[0162] Based on the above structural design, when the gear component 420 drives the power output component 500 to leave the neutral position, the neutral position switch 911 is triggered by the neutral position indicator rod 910, generating a trigger signal to indicate that the gear component 420 has left the neutral position. When the gear component 420 drives the engaging device 401 to leave the neutral position, the elastic force of the return spring of the neutral position indicator rod 910 drives the neutral position indicator rod 910, causing the neutral position indicator rod 910 to trigger the neutral position switch 911. The neutral position switch 911 generates a trigger signal to indicate that the gear component 420 has left the neutral position.

[0163] Continue to refer to Figure 11 When the gear component 420 starts to rotate from the center position in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the gear component 420 does not drive the center position indicator 910, but the two remain in abutting state. In other words, during the rotation of the gear component 420 of this disclosure, the first end of the center position indicator 910 ( Figure 11The right end of the gear component 420 (in the middle) always abuts against the first drive part 421 of the gear component 420. Figure 11 This shows the state of contact between the two.

[0164] Specifically, when the gear component 420 moves away from the neutral position, the neutral switch 911 is triggered. In the initial state (e.g., the locked state), the gear component 420 of the locking device of this disclosure is in the neutral position; when the locking device needs to be unlocked, the gear component 420 is driven to rotate clockwise (to...). Figure 10 (As shown in the direction), at this time, the gear component 420 will drive the power output component 500 to rotate and output driving force to unlock the lock device. Then, after the lock device is unlocked, the gear component 420 is driven to rotate counterclockwise, at which time the gear component 420 will return to the neutral position.

[0165] Similarly, when the locking device of this disclosure needs to be locked, the gear component 420 is driven to rotate counterclockwise (to... Figure 10 (As shown in the direction), at this time, the gear component 420 will drive the engaging device 401 to operate, and through the engaging device 401, drive the locking tongue component 200 to rotate, thereby locking the locking device. Then, after locking is completed, the gear component 420 is driven to rotate clockwise and return to the neutral position. Specifically, the engaging device 401 is rotatably disposed on the gear component 420, and the engaging device 401 is used to cooperate with the locking tongue first feature 210 of the locking tongue component 200 to drive the locking tongue component 200 to rotate and lock the locking device.

[0166] In other words, when the locking device of this disclosure is in the locked or unlocked state, the gear component 420 will remain in the neutral position. At this time, the neutral switch 911 is not triggered, so the position of the gear component 420 can be accurately indicated by the neutral switch 911.

[0167] In one specific embodiment, one end of the center position indicator 910 is driven by the first driving part 421 or by the second driving part, so that the center position indicator 910 can rotate; in this disclosure, the rotation axis of the center position indicator 910 is located between one end and the other end of the center position indicator 910, preferably parallel to or approximately parallel to the third rotation axis.

[0168] The other end of the center position indicator 910 has a driving surface, and the center of the driving surface is concave. When the gear component 420 is in the center position, the trigger terminal of the center position switch 911 is located in the concave shape of the driving surface. At this time, the center position switch 911 will not be triggered. Correspondingly, when the center position indicator 910 is driven to rotate (clockwise or counterclockwise), the center position switch 911 is triggered, which indicates that the gear component 420 has been driven to rotate (clockwise or counterclockwise) and has left the center position.

[0169] In this disclosure, the input power cable 800 can also provide unlocking power by having the occupants operate a handle inside the vehicle. This unlocking method will not be described in detail here.

[0170] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the locking tongue component and the pawl assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 13 This is a structural schematic diagram of the latch component and pawl assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure from another angle. Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of a locking device in a locked state according to the present disclosure. Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of a locking device in a semi-locked state according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0171] like Figure 12 As shown, the latch component 200 of this disclosure has a first rotation axis and a first locking position and a second locking position; wherein, the first locking position can be a fully locked position, in which the locking device is in a locked state, and the second locking position can be a partially locked position, in which the locking device is in a partially locked state. In addition, the latch component 200 may also include an unlocked position, in which the locking device is in an unlocked state, and in this unlocked position, the latch component 200 can release the latch and realize the unlocking of the locking device of this disclosure.

[0172] In other words, when the latch component 200 is driven and rotated, the latch component 200 can move to one of the first locked position, the second locked position, and the unlocked position. For example, with Figure 12 As shown, when the latch member 200 rotates counterclockwise, it can move from the first locked position to the second locked position, and when the latch member 200 rotates further counterclockwise, it can move from the second locked position to the unlocked position, thereby unlocking the lock device. Conversely, when the latch member 200 rotates clockwise, it can move from the unlocked position to the second locked position, and when the latch member 200 rotates further clockwise, it can move from the second locked position to the first locked position, thereby locking the lock device of this disclosure.

[0173] In one specific embodiment, the counterclockwise rotation of the latch component 200 can be achieved by the restoring force provided by components such as a return spring, and the clockwise rotation of the latch component 200 can be driven by the gear component 420 to achieve electric locking of the locking device of this disclosure.

[0174] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The pawl assembly 300 disclosed herein includes a first pawl 310, a second pawl 320, and a sliding pawl 330. The first pawl 310 is used to restrict the latch member 200 to a first locked position, and the second pawl 320 is used to restrict the latch member 200 to a second locked position. The sliding pawl 330 is used to restrict the position of the first pawl 310 so that the first pawl 310 can restrict the latch member 200 to the first locked position. The sliding pawl 330 can be driven by the second pawl 320, causing the sliding pawl 330 to release the first pawl 310.

[0175] refer to Figure 13 In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first pawl 310 has a first locking surface 311 and a first feature portion 312. The first locking surface 311 is used to engage with the first locking position (first locking surface) of the latch member 200 to lock the latch member 200 in the first locking position (fully locked position). The first feature portion 312 is used to cooperate with the second pawl 320. The second pawl 320 pushes the first feature portion 312 to push the first pawl 310, thereby releasing the engagement of the first pawl 310 with the first locking position of the latch member 200 and unlocking the lock device.

[0176] The second pawl 320 has a second locking surface 321, a second feature portion 322, and a first groove feature 323. The second locking surface 321 is used to engage with the second locking position (the column structure on the latch member 200) of the latch member 200, locking the latch member 200 in the second locking position (half-locked position). The second feature portion 322 releases the engagement between the first pawl 310 and the first locking position of the latch member 200 by pushing the first feature portion 312 of the first pawl 310. The first groove feature 323 is used to drive the sliding pawl 330 to slide out from between the first pawl 310 and the limiting member 340.

[0177] Preferably, the second feature portion 322 may be formed as a cylindrical protrusion formed from the surface of the base of the second pawl 320.

[0178] refer to Figure 14In some embodiments of this disclosure, the sliding pawl 330 includes a shaft feature 331, wherein the shaft feature 331 is slidably and rotatably disposed in the first groove feature 323 of the second pawl 320, and the second pawl 320 drives the shaft feature 331 through the first groove feature 323, so that the sliding pawl 330 can slide out from between the first pawl 310 and the limiting member 340.

[0179] The second unlocking arm 620 of the unlocking component 600 can drive the second pawl 320 to rotate. For example, when the unlocking component 600 rotates clockwise, it can cause the second pawl 320 to rotate counterclockwise. Figure 2 direction shown).

[0180] When the latch component 200 is in the first locked position, the counterclockwise rotation of the second pawl 320 will first cause the sliding pawl 330 to slide out from between the first pawl 310 and the limiting member 340. Then, the second pawl 320 drives the first pawl 310 to rotate, causing the first pawl 310 to disengage from the second pawl 320. The latch component 200 will then rotate from the first locked position to the second locked position. At this time, if the second pawl 320 is not in the position that stops the latch component 200, the latch component 200 will pass the second locked position and rotate directly to the unlocked position.

[0181] In other words, during the unlocking process, the bolt component 200 of the lock device disclosed herein can rotate directly from the first locking position to the unlocking position without pausing in the second locking position.

[0182] When locked, the gear component 420 engages with the first feature 210 of the latch component 200, driving the latch component 200 to rotate via a suction device. Simultaneously, as the latch component 200 rotates from the unlocked position to the second locked position, the second pawl 320 rotates clockwise under the return force of the return spring. Figure 12 (as shown in the direction), and restrict the latch component 200 to the second locking position; when the latch component 200 is further pushed and rotated to the first locking position, the first pawl 310 will rotate clockwise under the action of the return spring (to the direction ... shown in the direction), and restrict the latch component 200 to the second locking position; when the latch component 200 is further pushed and rotated to the first locking position, the first pawl 310 will rotate clockwise under the action of Figure 12 (as shown in the direction), and restrict the latch component 200 to the first locking position. At the same time, the sliding pawl 330 slides under the action of the return force of the return spring and moves between the first pawl 310 and the limiting member 340, thereby realizing the stable holding of the latch component 200, that is, realizing the locking of the locking device.

[0183] refer to Figure 12 In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first feature 210 of the latch is formed as an arm of the latch component 200.

[0184] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the pawl assembly 300 may further include a buffer 350, which may be disposed in the lock housing 100. When the sliding pawl 330 moves between the first pawl 310 and the limiting member 340 under the action of the return force of the return spring, one end of the sliding pawl 330 may contact the buffer 350 to buffer the movement of the sliding pawl 330 and prevent damage to the sliding pawl 330.

[0185] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 12 As shown, the pawl assembly 300 may further include a pawl position indicator 360, which is driven and actuated by the sliding pawl 330 to trigger the pawl switch 370 (see...). Figure 16 The position of the pawl assembly 300 is indicated by the pawl switch 370.

[0186] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the pawl switch 370 is triggered when the latch member 200 is in a first locked position. In one particular embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 12 The pawl position indicator 360 is generally formed as an elongated structure. The middle part of the pawl position indicator 360 (i.e., the portion between one end and the other end of the pawl position indicator 360) is rotatably disposed on the lock housing 100, and the rotation axis of the pawl position indicator 360 can be parallel to the rotation axis of the first pawl 310 and / or the second pawl 320. One end of the pawl position indicator 360 is formed as a trigger portion 361, which may include a curved trigger surface; the other end of the pawl position indicator 360 includes a second groove feature 362, which can be an arc-shaped groove. The pawl position indicator 360 includes an arc-shaped groove. When the sliding pawl 330 is driven and slides by the second pawl 320, at least a portion of the sliding pawl 330 (i.e., the shaft feature 331 of the sliding pawl 330) can slide within the arc-shaped groove, causing the pawl position indicator 360 to rotate.

[0187] Preferably, when the sliding pawl 330 moves between the first pawl 310 and the limiting member 340 and contacts the buffer member 350, the pawl position indicating member 360 is driven to the maximum position in the clockwise direction. At this time, the pawl position indicating member 360 triggers the pawl switch 370, and the position of the pawl assembly is indicated by the pawl switch 370. The trigger signal of the pawl switch 370 indicates that the locking device is in the locked state.

[0188] Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the configuration of the switches according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 17This is another schematic diagram of the configuration of the switches according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0189] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the locking device of this disclosure may further include: a latch position indicator 930, which is driven by the latch component 200 to trigger a latch switch 931 and indicate the position of the latch component 200 through the latch switch 931.

[0190] In this disclosure, the latch position indicator 930 can be fixed to the latch component 200 or integrally formed with the latch component 200. When the latch component 200 rotates, the latch position indicator 930 also rotates with the latch component 200. Thus, when the latch component 200 is in a position between the fully open position and the second locked position, the latch switch 931 is triggered. Correspondingly, the latch switch 931 can indicate that the latch component 931 is in the second locked position, that is, the latch switch 931 indicates that the locking device of this disclosure is in a half-locked state.

[0191] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the ratchet switch 370, neutral switch 911 and latch switch 931 of this disclosure can all be installed in the lock housing 100 and connected to the terminal block via a cable, thereby connecting to the vehicle controller via the terminal block.

[0192] Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the installation state of the latch component and the pawl assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 19 This is a structural schematic diagram of the latch component and pawl assembly according to one embodiment of the present disclosure from another angle. Figure 20 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the lower housing according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 21 This is a structural schematic diagram of the lower housing from another angle according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 22 This is a schematic diagram of the upper housing according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 23 This is a structural schematic diagram of the upper housing from another angle according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 24 This is a structural schematic diagram of a support component according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 25 This is a structural schematic diagram of a support member according to one embodiment of the present disclosure from another angle.

[0193] In this disclosure, the latch component 200 can be rotatably disposed on the lower housing 120 via the first shaft component 220. Specifically, the lower end of the first shaft component 220 can be fixed to the lower housing 120 or fixed to the base plate 110, and its upper end can be fixed to the support component 940, for example, fixed to one arm of the support component 940.

[0194] The first pawl 310 and / or the second pawl 320 can be rotatably mounted on the lower housing 120 via the second shaft component 380. In this disclosure, the first pawl 310 and the second pawl 320 can have the same axis of rotation or different axes of rotation. When the first pawl 310 and the second pawl 320 have different axes of rotation, the second shaft component 380 can include two shaft segments with different axes of rotation.

[0195] In one specific embodiment, the lower end of the second shaft component 380 is fixed to the lower housing 120 or to the base plate 110, and its upper end can be fixed to the support component 940, for example, to another arm of the support component 940.

[0196] Meanwhile, the third arm of the support member 940 can be connected to the lower housing 120 via a support shaft, thereby the support member 940 can be stably held by the lower housing 120, wherein at least a portion of the support shaft can be formed as the aforementioned limiting member 340.

[0197] In a preferred embodiment, the support member 940 may include a limiting feature 941, which can cooperate with the latch position indicator member 930 to restrict the latch member 200 to the unlocked position; that is, when the latch member 200 is in the unlocked position, due to the presence of the limiting feature 941, the latch member 200 will not be able to rotate further under the force of the return spring, and thus the latch member 200 will be stably held in the unlocked position.

[0198] In this disclosure, the upper housing 130 can be fixed to the base plate 110, and the lower housing 120 is located between the upper housing 130 and the base plate 110, thereby fixing the base plate 110, the lower housing 120 and the upper housing 130 to each other and forming the lock housing 100 of the locking device of this disclosure.

[0199] Figure 26 This is a schematic diagram of the suction device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0200] In this disclosure, the end face of one arm of the pull-out lever component 920 is formed as an outwardly convex curved surface, which is the third feature of the pull-out lever. Accordingly, as Figure 26As shown, the engaging device 401 has a limiting feature 402, which is an inwardly concave curved surface shape. When the engaging device 401 is in a certain position, for example, when the engaging device 401 contacts the first locking tongue feature 210 and the locking tongue member 200 is in the first locking position, i.e., when the locking device is in the locked state, the outwardly protruding curved surface of the engaging release lever member 920 can rotate into the limiting feature 402. Therefore, the engaging release lever member 920 can restrict the position of the engaging device 401, i.e., restrict the engaging device 401 so that it cannot rotate, thereby restricting the position of the locking tongue member 200. In other words, when the gear member 420 rotates and approaches the power output member 500 ( Figure 2 (As shown, rotating counterclockwise), the engaging device 401 can at least remain in the position of the locking tongue member 200, that is, when the engaging release lever member 920 is not operated, the engaging device 401 can keep the locking tongue member 200 in the locked state; when the engaging release lever member 920 is operated, the engaging device 401 will disengage from the locking tongue member 200 under the action of the restoring force provided by the return spring.

[0201] Next, if the gear component 420 rotates clockwise, it will not cause the engaging device 401 to rotate synchronously. The engaging device 401 will be restricted to this position by the engaging release lever component 920. Only when the engaging release lever component 920 is driven by the unlocking component 600 and rotates clockwise can the outwardly protruding curved surface of the engaging release lever component 920 move out of the limiting feature 402. Under the action of the elastic restoring force, the engaging device 401 will return to a state of tightly adhering to one surface of the gear component 420, thereby releasing the locking tongue component 200.

[0202] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a motor vehicle is provided that includes the aforementioned locking device.
