[0057] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0058] The door lock assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] like Figures 1-19 As shown, the door lock assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10, a bolt assembly 20, an opening assembly 30, a locking device 40, and a trigger assembly 50.

[0060] The latch assembly 20 is rotatably disposed on the housing 10. The latch assembly 20 engages with or disengages from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body. When the latch assembly 20 engages with the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, the latch assembly 20 can be rotated to disengage from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body so that the door can be opened.

[0061] The opening component 30 is movably disposed within the housing 10 to switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state. When the opening component 30 is in the engaged state, it engages with the latch assembly 20 to rotate it, thereby disengaging the latch assembly 20 from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body to open the door. When the opening component 30 is in the disengaged state, it separates from the latch assembly 20. In this case, the opening component 30 cannot rotate the latch assembly 20, and therefore the door cannot be opened using the opening component 30.

[0062] The locking device 40 includes a rotating member 41, which is rotatably mounted on the housing 10. The rotating member 41 cooperates with the opening component 30 to push the opening component 30 to switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state, so as to adjust the engagement state of the opening component 30 and the latch assembly 20 as needed. When it is necessary to lock the latch assembly 20, the rotating member 41 can push the opening component 30 to switch to the disengaged state, so that the opening component 30 and the latch assembly 20 are disengaged. At this time, when the opening component 30 is operated, the opening component 30 cannot drive the latch assembly 20 to rotate. At this time, the latch assembly 20 cannot disengage from the lock cylinder and the door cannot be opened, so as to lock the latch assembly 20, so as to prevent the door lock from being opened when the opening component 30 is accidentally touched, thus providing better safety protection for children or other special users.

[0063] The trigger component 50 is movably disposed in the housing 10. The trigger component 50 cooperates with the rotating component 41 and the opening component 30 respectively. The trigger component 50 has a first trigger state and a second trigger state. When the trigger component 50 is in the first trigger state, the trigger component 50 pushes the rotating component 41 to switch the opening component 30 to the cooperation state. At this time, the opening component 30 is operated, and the opening component 30 can drive the latch component 20 to rotate, so that the latch component 20 disengages from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, thereby opening the door.

[0064] When the trigger component 50 is in the second trigger state, the trigger component 50 pushes and pushes the opening component 30 to rotate. At this time, the opening component 30 can drive the latch component 20 to rotate, so that the latch component 20 disengages from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, thereby opening the door.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the triggering component 50 is in the first triggering state, the triggering component 50 is triggered for the first time, and the triggering component 50 can drive the opening component 30 to switch to the engaging state. At the same time, the triggering component 50 switches to the second triggering state. When the triggering component 50 is triggered again, the triggering component 50 can drive the locking tongue component 20 to rotate, so that the locking tongue component 20 disengages from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, thereby enabling the door to be opened.

[0066] Specifically, when the rotating component 41 pushes the opening component 30 into the disengaged state, if the triggering component 50 is triggered for the first time and directly drives the opening component 30 to rotate, since the opening component 30 is disengaged from the locking tongue component 20 at this time, the opening component 30 cannot drive the locking tongue component 20 to rotate, and thus the car door cannot be opened. Therefore, when the triggering component 50 is triggered for the first time, the triggering component 50 will drive the opening component 30 to switch to the engaged state. Then, when the triggering component 50 is triggered for the second time, the triggering component 50 can drive the locking tongue component 20 to rotate through the opening component 30, and only then can the car door be opened.

[0067] In summary, the trigger component 50 can switch the state of the opening component 30 to determine whether to lock the latch component 20 as needed. Furthermore, the trigger component 50 can also drive the opening component 30, which in turn drives the latch component 20, allowing it to disengage from the lock cylinder on the vehicle body, thus opening the door.

[0068] This design facilitates a more compact structure for the door lock assembly 1, thereby reducing the space occupied by the bolt assembly 20, the opening assembly 30, and the trigger assembly 50. It also facilitates the miniaturization of the door lock assembly 1 and simplifies the structure, reducing its complexity.

[0069] Therefore, the door lock assembly 1 according to the embodiments of the present invention can lock the bolt assembly 20, and has the advantages of improving the compactness of the door lock assembly 1 structure, simplifying the structure of the door lock assembly 1, and reducing the complexity of the door lock assembly 1 structure.

[0070] The door lock assembly 1 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] like Figures 1-19 As shown, the door lock assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10, a bolt assembly 20, an opening assembly 30, a locking device 40, and a trigger assembly 50.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the opening assembly 30 includes a first driven arm 31 and a second driven arm 32. The first driven arm 31 cooperates with a rotating member 41, which can drive the first driven arm 31 to rotate, so that the first driven arm 31 can cooperate with or disengage from the latch assembly 20. The triggering assembly 50 cooperates with the second driven arm 32 to push the second driven arm 32 to drive the first driven arm 31 to rotate, thereby enabling the first driven arm 31 to drive the latch assembly 20 to move when it is in cooperation with the latch assembly 20, so that the latch assembly 20 can disengage from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, so that the door can be opened.

[0073] Specifically, when the first driven arm 31 engages with the latch assembly 20, that is, when the opening component is in the engaged state and the triggering component 50 is in the second triggering state, the triggering component 50 is triggered. The triggering component 50 will push the second driven arm 32 to rotate, the second driven arm 32 will drive the first driven arm 31 to rotate, and the first driven arm 31 will drive the latch assembly 20 to move, so that the latch assembly 20 disengages from the lock cylinder of the door, thereby enabling the door to be opened.

[0074] When the first driven arm 31 is separated from the latch assembly 20, that is, when the opening assembly 30 is in the disengaged state, and the trigger assembly 50 is in the first trigger state, the trigger assembly 50 is triggered. The trigger assembly 50 will push the second driven arm 32 to rotate. The second driven arm 32 will drive the first driven arm 31 to rotate. However, since the first driven arm 31 is separated from the latch assembly 20, the first driven arm 31 cannot drive the latch assembly 20 to move, and therefore the door cannot be opened. At the same time, the trigger assembly 50 also pushes the rotating member 41 to rotate, so that the rotating member 41 drives the first driven arm 31 to rotate to the position that engages with the latch assembly 20, so that the opening assembly 30 switches to the engaged state.

[0075] After the trigger component 50 pushes the first driven arm 31 to the position where it engages with the latch assembly 20 via the rotating component 41, the trigger component is in the second trigger state. At this time, the trigger component 50 is triggered, and the trigger component 50 will push the second driven arm 32 to rotate. The second driven arm 32 will drive the first driven arm 31 to rotate. At this time, the first driven arm 31 can drive the latch assembly 20 to move, so that the latch assembly 20 disengages from the lock cylinder of the door, thereby opening the door.

[0076] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first driven arm 31 is provided with a first protrusion 311, and the rotating member 41 is provided with a mating groove 413. The first protrusion 311 is located in the mating groove 413, so that when the rotating member 41 rotates, the side wall of the mating groove 413 can push the first protrusion 311 to rotate, thereby pushing the first driven arm 31 to rotate, so that the first driven arm 31 can switch between a position disengaged from the latch assembly 20 and a position engaged with the latch assembly 20.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first driven arm 31 has a first protrusion 311 on the side facing the rotating member 41, the locking tongue assembly 20 is located on the other side of the first driven arm 31, and the first driven arm 31 has a hook 312 on the side facing the locking tongue assembly 20, the hook 312 cooperating with the locking tongue assembly 20.

[0078] The second driven arm 32 is rotatably fixed on the housing 10, and one end of the first driven arm 31 is disposed on the second driven arm 32. When the trigger component 50 drives the second driven arm 32 to rotate, the second driven arm 32 can drive the first driven arm 31 to rotate around the rotation center of the second driven arm 32.

[0079] When the rotating part 41 rotates counterclockwise, the side wall of the groove 413 can push the first protrusion 311 to rotate away from the latch assembly 20, so that the hook 312 disengages from the latch assembly 20. When the rotating part 41 rotates clockwise, the first driven arm 31 rotates towards the latch assembly 20, so that the hook 312 can engage with the latch assembly 20. At this time, the triggering component 50 is triggered, which can drive the second driven arm 32 to rotate around its rotation center. At this time, the second driven arm 32 drives the first driven arm 31 to swing. The first driven arm 31 drives the latch assembly 20 to move through the hook 312, so that the latch assembly 20 disengages from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, thereby opening the door.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3As shown, the locking device 40 also includes a first drive assembly 42, which is connected to the rotating member 41 to drive the rotating member 41 to rotate, so that the rotating member 41 can push the opening assembly 30 to switch between the engaged state and the disengaged state, so as to adjust the engaged state of the opening assembly 30 and the locking tongue assembly 20 as needed.

[0081] When it is necessary to lock the latch assembly 20, the opening assembly 30 can be switched to the disengaged state by rotating the rotating component 41, disengaging the opening assembly 30 from the latch assembly 20. In this state, when the opening assembly 30 is operated, it cannot rotate the latch assembly 20. When it is not necessary to lock the latch assembly 20, the opening assembly 30 can be switched to the engaged state by rotating the rotating component 41, engaging the opening assembly 30 with the latch assembly 20. In this state, when the opening assembly 30 is operated, it can rotate the latch assembly 20, disengaging the latch assembly 20 from the lock cylinder on the vehicle body, thus opening the door.

[0082] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first drive assembly 42 includes a first motor 421 and a drive gear 422. The first motor 421 and the drive gear 422 cooperate to drive the rotation of the first motor 421 and the drive gear 422. The drive gear 422 meshes with the rotating member 41. When the first motor 421 drives the drive gear 422 to rotate, the drive gear 422 can drive the rotating member 41 to rotate, so that the rotating member 41 can push the opening assembly 30 to switch between the engaged state and the disengaged state, so as to lock or unlock the latch assembly 20 as needed.

[0083] In this way, by controlling the rotation direction of the output shaft of the first motor 421, the rotation direction of the drive gear 422 can be controlled, which in turn controls the rotation direction of the rotating component 41, so that the rotating component 41 can push the first driven arm 31 to swing between the position of engaging and disengaging with the latch assembly 20, thereby realizing the locking or unlocking of the latch assembly 20.

[0084] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rotating member 41 includes a first extension portion 411 and a second extension portion 412. The first extension portion 411 and the second extension portion 412 have an included angle. The first extension portion 411 engages with or disengages from the opening component 30. The first driving component 42 engages with the second extension portion 412. When the first driving component 42 drives the rotating member 41 to rotate through the second extension portion 412, the first extension portion 411 can drive the opening component 30 to switch between an engaged state and a disengaged state.

[0085] In other words, the first drive component 42 directly drives the rotating component 41 to rotate, and the rotating component 41 directly controls the opening component 30 to switch between the engaged state and the disengaged state. This configuration can achieve the switching of the opening component 30 between the engaged state and the disengaged state without too many transmission mechanisms, which simplifies the structure and improves the stability of the transmission.

[0086] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a first sidewall 11 and a second sidewall 12. The first sidewall 11 extends horizontally, and the second sidewall 12 extends vertically. An opening component 30 is disposed on the first sidewall 11, and a first driving component 42 is disposed on the second sidewall 12. The angle between the first extension portion 411 and the second extension portion 412 is 90 degrees. The first extension portion 411 extends horizontally so that it can smoothly cooperate with the opening component 30 on the first sidewall 11, so that when the rotating member 41 rotates, the rotating member 41 can drive the opening component 30 to switch between a engaged state and a disengaged state. The second extension portion 412 extends vertically so that it can smoothly cooperate with the first driving component 42 on the second sidewall 12, so that the first driving component 42 can smoothly drive the rotating member 41 to rotate through the first extension portion 411.

[0087] In addition, the first extension portion 411 is engaged with the opening component 30, and the second extension portion 412 is engaged with the first drive component 42, so as to adapt to the setting position of the opening component 30 and the first drive component 42 on the housing 10, which facilitates the reduction of the volume occupied by the rotating component 41, the first drive component 42 and the opening component 30 in the housing 10, and facilitates the miniaturization design of the door lock assembly 1.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the trigger assembly 50 includes a handle 91, a first movable arm 51, and a second movable arm 52. The handle 91 is movably disposed in the housing 10. The handle 91 is connected to the first movable arm 51 to drive its movement. The first movable arm 51 cooperates with the rotating member 41 to push the rotating member 41 to rotate. When the handle is pulled, the first movable arm 51 can push the rotating member 41 to rotate, thereby enabling the rotating member 41 to drive the opening assembly 30 to switch between the engaged state and the disengaged state.

[0089] The second movable arm 52 cooperates with the first movable arm 51. The first movable arm 51 drives the second movable arm 52 to rotate. The second movable arm 52 cooperates with the opening component 30. When the opening component 30 is in the engaged state, when the operating handle 91 drives the first movable arm 51 to rotate, the first movable arm 51 can drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate. The second movable arm 52 can drive the opening component 30 to rotate, thereby driving the latch assembly 20 to move through the opening component 30, so that the latch assembly 20 is disengaged from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, so that the door can be opened.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the rotating member 41 has a guide portion 414, and the first end of the first movable arm 51 is engaged with the guide portion 414. When the first movable arm 51 rotates, the first movable arm 51 can drive the rotating member 41 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating member 41 to drive the first driven arm 31 to switch between engaging or disengaging with the locking tongue assembly 20.

[0091] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the guide portion 414 includes a guide slope and / or a guide arc surface. The first movable arm 51 is provided with an arc surface 513 that slides in contact with the guide portion 414. When the first movable arm 51 is rotated, the arc surface 513 abuts against the guide slope and / or the guide arc surface, so as to drive the rotating member 41 to rotate through the guide slope and / or the guide arc surface.

[0092] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide portion 414 has a guide slope that extends toward the arc surface 513. When the first movable arm 51 rotates clockwise, the arc surface 513 exerts a pushing force on the guide slope to push the rotating member 41 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the rotating member 41 can drive the opening component 30 to switch from the disengaged state to the engaged state.

[0093] In some embodiments, the main control mechanism of the door lock assembly 1 further includes a first reset member. The first reset member is disposed on the rotating member 41 and the housing 10. The first reset member has a driving force to drive the rotating member 41 to rotate in a counterclockwise direction. When the first movable arm 51 is released and there is no pushing force on the arc-shaped surface of the guide slope and / or guide arc surface, the rotating member 41 can rotate in a counterclockwise direction under the drive of the first reset member. At the same time, the rotating member 41 can drive the opening component 30 to switch from the engaged state to the disengaged state.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the locking device 40 also includes an elastic component 82, which is connected to the rotating component 41 and the housing 10 respectively. When the opening component 30 switches to the engaged or disengaged state, the elastic component 82 positions the rotating component 41 at the current position. Thus, when the rotating component 41 drives the opening component 30 to move, the opening component 30 can be positioned in the engaged or disengaged state, preventing the opening component 30 from moving when it is not subjected to force, thus affecting the state of the opening component 30.

[0095] In some embodiments, the elastic component 82 includes a linkage spring 821, one end of which is connected to the rotating component 41 and the other end is connected to the housing 10, so that the linkage spring 821 is connected between the rotating component 41 and the housing 10, and the housing 10, the linkage spring 821, and the rotating component 41 can be distributed in sequence.

[0096] In some examples, when the rotating member 41 rotates to the engaging position, the opening component 30 can be in the engaging state, and when the rotating member 41 rotates to the disengaged position, the opening component 30 can be in the disengaged state. The linkage spring 821 is configured such that its elastic potential energy is at its maximum when the rotating member 41 rotates to the engaging position and at its disengaged position, and at its minimum when the rotating member 41 rotates to the engaging position and at its disengaged position, so that the linkage spring 821 can position the rotating member 41 in the engaging position and the disengaged position, thereby ensuring that the opening component 30 can be in the engaging state or the disengaged state.

[0097] In some embodiments, the elastic member 82 further includes a buffer block 822, the rotating member 41 has a relief groove 419, the buffer block 822 is connected to the housing 10 and located in the relief groove 419, when the rotating member 41 rotates, the sidewall of the relief groove 419 contacts the buffer block 822 to limit the rotation range of the rotating member 41.

[0098] The buffer block 822 is made of elastic material such as rubber. It is connected to the side of the housing 10 facing the rotating member 41 and is positioned opposite the clearance groove 419, extending into it. During the process of the rotating member 41 driving the opening component 30 to switch between the engaged and disengaged states, the buffer block 822 can abut against the side wall of the clearance groove 419 to achieve buffering and energy absorption, making the movement of the rotating member 41 and the opening component 30 smooth and reliable. Furthermore, the buffer block 822 can be used to limit the rotation range of the rotating member 41. This improves the movement stability of the rotating member 41.

[0099] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7As shown, the door lock assembly 1 also includes a detection device 83, which is used to detect the current position of the rotating part 41. It should be noted that the detection device 83 can be electrically connected to the vehicle's control center so that the detection device 83 can transmit the detection results to the vehicle's control center.

[0100] With the above settings, the detection device 83 can detect the current position of the rotating part 41, so that the control center can determine whether the opening component 30 is in the engaged or disengaged state. The control center can display the detection results through the display device to remind the driver, which helps to improve driving safety.

[0101] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the detection device 83 is a micro switch, which is mounted on the housing 10. The rotating component 41 has a first detection surface 416 and a second detection surface 417. The first detection surface 416 and the second detection surface 417 have different heights. When the opening component 30 is switched to the engaging state, the first detection surface 416 contacts the micro switch so that the micro switch sends a signal. When the opening component 30 is switched to the disengaged state, the second detection surface 417 is directly opposite the micro switch.

[0102] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a micro switch is mounted on the housing 10 and positioned above the rotating member 41. The upper sidewall of the rotating member 41 corresponds to the micro switch. The upper sidewall of the rotating member 41 has a first detection surface 416 and a second detection surface 417. The heights of the first detection surface 416 and the second detection surface 417 are different. For example, the height of the first detection surface 416 can be set to be greater than the height of the second detection surface 417. The lower end of the micro switch is provided with a contact head 831, which is used to contact the first detection surface 416 or the second detection surface 417.

[0103] Specifically, when the rotating component 41 rotates to switch the opening assembly 30 to the engaged state, the first detection surface 416 is opposite to the micro switch, and the contact head 831 can contact the first detection surface 416. At this time, the micro switch is triggered to continuously send information to the control center. However, when the rotating component 41 drives the opening assembly 30 to the disengaged state, the second detection surface 417 is directly opposite to the micro switch, and the contact head 831 is directly opposite to the second detection surface 417 but not in contact (of course, it can also be in contact, this application does not limit this). At this time, the micro switch is not triggered, and the micro switch does not send information to the control center. Through the above settings, the detection accuracy of the micro switch can be improved.

[0104] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 14As shown, the door lock assembly 1 also includes a mating part 60 and a second drive assembly. The mating part 60 is disposed on the second movable arm 52 to drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate. The second drive assembly is disposed on the housing 10. The second drive assembly cooperates with the mating part 60 to drive the mating part 60 to switch between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0105] Specifically, when the mating part 60 is in the unlocked state, it engages with the first movable arm 51, and the first movable arm 51 drives the second movable arm 52 to rotate via the mating part 60. When the mating part 60 is in the locked state, it disengages from the first movable arm 51. At this time, the first and second movable arms 51 rotate independently. When the operating handle 91 drives the first movable arm 51 to rotate, since the mating part 60 is disengaged from the first movable arm 51, the first movable arm 51 cannot drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate via the mating part 60. Therefore, the second movable arm 52 cannot drive the opening component 30 to move, and consequently, it cannot drive the locking tongue component 20 to move.

[0106] The movement state of the second movable arm 52 can be changed by switching the state of the mating part 60. Since the second movable arm 52 is mated with the opening component 30, the opening component 30 can only be disengaged from the latch component 20 by being driven by the second movable arm 52, and thus the door lock can be opened. Therefore, when the mating part 60 is in the unlocked state, the operating handle 91 can drive the first movable arm 51 to rotate, and the first movable arm 51 can drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate.

[0107] It should be explained here that the switching between the locked and unlocked states of the mating component 60 is controlled by the second drive component to control whether the first movable arm 51 drives the second movable arm 52 to rotate.

[0108] In addition, the first movable arm 51 also cooperates with the rotating member 41. When the handle 91 pulls the first movable arm 51 to rotate, the first movable arm 51 can push the rotating member 41 to rotate. The rotating member 41 can drive the opening component 30 to move, so that the opening component 30 can switch between the engaged state and the disengaged state.

[0109] When the opening component 30 is in the engaged or disengaged state and the engaging component 60 is in the locked state, the engaging component 60 is disengaged from the first movable arm 51. At this time, pulling the handle 91 causes the first movable arm 51 to rotate. The first movable arm 51 can push the rotating component 41 to move, but the first movable arm 51 cannot move the engaging component 60. Consequently, the engaging component 60 cannot drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate. The second movable arm 52 cannot drive the opening component 30 to move, and the opening component 30 cannot drive the latch assembly 20 to rotate. Therefore, the latch assembly 20 cannot disengage from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body.

[0110] In other words, when the mating part 60 is in the locked state, the door cannot be opened by pulling the handle 91, regardless of whether the opening component 30 is in the mated or disengaged state. This is to prevent the door lock from being opened by accidental contact with the handle 91, thus providing better safety for children or other special users.

[0111] When the opening component 30 is in the engaged state and the engaging component 60 is in the unlocked state, pulling the handle 91 causes the first movable arm 51 to rotate. The first movable arm 51 can drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate through the engaging component 60. The second movable arm 52 can drive the opening component 30 to move. Since the opening component 30 is in the engaged state at this time, the opening component 30 can drive the latch component 20 to rotate, so that the latch component 20 disengages from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, so that the door can be opened.

[0112] When the opening component 30 is in the disengaged state and the mating part 60 is in the unlocked state, pulling the handle 91 for the first time causes the first movable arm 51 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating part 41 to rotate. The rotating part 41 can push the opening component 30 to switch to the mating state. Pulling the handle 91 again causes the first movable arm 51 to rotate, which in turn causes the second movable arm 52 to rotate via the mating part 60. The second movable arm 52 can then move the opening component 30. At this time, the opening component 30 can rotate the latch assembly 20 so that the latch assembly 20 disengages from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, allowing the door to be opened.

[0113] It should be explained here that the opening component 30 can be controlled to switch between the engaged state and the disengaged state in two ways. One way is that the first motor 421 drives the drive gear 422 to rotate, and the drive gear 422 can drive the rotating part 41 to rotate, so that the rotating part 41 can drive the opening component 30 to rotate, thereby enabling the opening component 30 to switch between the engaged state and the disengaged state.

[0114] Another method involves rotating the first movable arm 51 via the handle 91. The first movable arm 51 then rotates the rotating component 41, which in turn rotates the opening assembly 30, allowing the opening assembly 30 to switch between an engaged and disengaged state. Either of these two methods is sufficient to control the opening assembly 30 to be in either the engaged or disengaged state.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 As shown, at least a portion of the first movable arm 51, at least a portion of the second movable arm 52, and at least a portion of the second drive assembly are arranged to overlap on the pivot axis of the first movable arm 51, so as to reduce the space occupied by the first movable arm 51, the second movable arm 52, and the second drive assembly, and facilitate the miniaturization design of the door lock assembly 1.

[0116] For example, in an embodiment where the first movable arm 51, the second movable arm 52, and the second drive assembly are applied to a vehicle, both the first movable arm 51 and the second movable arm 52 extend along the height direction of the vehicle, and at least a portion of the first movable arm 51, the second movable arm 52, and the second drive assembly overlap along the width or length direction of the vehicle. This facilitates the use of space by the first movable arm 51, the second movable arm 52, and the second drive assembly as a whole, thereby reserving more space for the vehicle and facilitating the layout of other components within the vehicle.

[0117] It should be explained here that the first movable arm 51 and the second movable arm 52 may also extend along the width direction, length direction or other directions of the vehicle, and at least a part of the first movable arm 51, the second movable arm 52 and the second drive assembly may be arranged to overlap along the height direction or other directions of the vehicle. No further restrictions are imposed here.

[0118] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the mating member 60 is provided with a second protrusion 62, the second movable arm 52 is provided with a moving groove 522, and the first movable arm 51 is provided with a switching groove 511. The second protrusion 62 extends through the moving groove 522 into the switching groove 511. When the mating member 60 is in the locked state, the second protrusion 62 abuts against one end of the side wall of the moving groove 522, and the second protrusion 62 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the switching groove 511. At this time, when the operating handle 91 drives the first movable arm 51 to rotate, since the second protrusion 62 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the switching groove 511, the first movable arm 51 cannot drive the second protrusion 62 to move, and therefore cannot drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate through the second protrusion 62.

[0119] When the mating part 60 is in the unlocked state, the second protrusion 62 abuts against the other side wall of the moving groove 522, and the second protrusion 62 abuts against the side wall of the switching groove 511. At this time, when the operating handle 91 drives the first movable arm 51 to rotate, since the second protrusion 62 abuts against the side wall of the switching groove 511, the first movable arm 51 can drive the second protrusion 62 to move. The second protrusion 62 has a pushing force on the side wall of the moving groove 522, and the second protrusion 62 can drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate. Thus, when the first movable arm 51 rotates, it can drive the second movable arm 52 to move.

[0120] Specifically, when the mating part 60 is in the locked state and the mating part 60 is spaced from the side wall of the switching groove 511, pulling the handle 91 will cause the first movable arm 51 to rotate. The first movable arm 51 cannot drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate. At this time, the first movable arm 51 can push the rotating part 41 to rotate, so that the rotating part 41 can push the first driven arm 31 to switch between the position of mating with the locking tongue assembly 20 and the position of disengaging from the locking tongue assembly 20.

[0121] When the mating part 60 is in the unlocked state and the mating part 60 is abutted against the side wall of the switching groove 511, pulling the handle 91 will cause the first movable arm 51 to rotate. The first movable arm 51 can push the rotating part 41 to rotate. The first movable arm 51 can also drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate through the mating part 60. The second movable arm 52 can push the second driven arm 32 to rotate. The second driven arm 32 can drive the first driven arm 31 to rotate. When the first driven arm 31 is engaged with the latch assembly 20, the first driven arm 31 can drive the latch assembly 20 to move, thereby disengaging the latch assembly 20 from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, so that the door can be opened.

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 18 As shown, the first movable arm 51 is provided with a clearance groove 512. One end of the clearance groove 512 is connected to the switching groove 511. When the second protrusion 62 is in the locked state, the second protrusion 62 is in the clearance groove 512. At this time, when the first movable arm 51 is rotated, the clearance groove 512 will avoid the second protrusion 62. At this time, the first movable arm 51 cannot drive the second protrusion 62 to rotate.

[0123] In some other embodiments, the first movable arm 51 is provided with a clearance protrusion that protrudes away from the second protrusion 62. When the second protrusion 62 is in the locked state, the second protrusion 62 is located at the corresponding position of the clearance protrusion. At this time, when the first movable arm 51 is rotated, the clearance protrusion will avoid the second protrusion 62, and the first movable arm 51 cannot drive the second protrusion 62 to rotate.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 As shown, the door lock assembly 1 also includes a first elastic element 81, which cooperates with the mating member 60 and the second drive assembly respectively. The first elastic element 81 applies a force to the mating member 60 toward switching to a locked state, so that the mating member 60 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state under the drive of the second drive assembly and the first elastic element 81.

[0125] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the second driving component includes a swing member 71 and an active driving member 72. The swing member 71 is rotatably disposed on the housing 10. The active driving member 72 cooperates with the swing member 71 to drive the swing member 71 to swing. A first elastic member 81 is connected to the swing member 71 and the mating member 60. The first elastic member 81 applies a force to the mating member 60 toward switching to the locked state, so that the mating member 60 and the swing member 71 slide into contact, so that the mating member 60 can fit against the swing member 71, thereby keeping the mating member 60 and the swing member 71 in a mutually abutting state. Thus, when the active driving member 72 drives the swing member 71 to swing, it prevents the swing member 71 from disengaging from the mating member 60. When the active driving member 72 drives the swing member 71 to swing, under the joint drive of the swing member 71 and the first elastic member 81, the mating member 60 can be driven to switch between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0126] In some embodiments, the active drive member 72 can drive the swing member 71 to rotate between a first position and a second position. When the swing member 71 is in the first position, the mating member 60 is in an unlocked state. When the swing member 71 rotates to the second position, the first elastic member 81 drives the mating member 60 to switch toward a locked state, so that the mating member 60 switches to a locked state.

[0127] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 16-19 As shown, the mating member 60 is provided with a third protrusion 63, and the swing member 71 is provided with a guide groove 710. The third protrusion 63 extends into the guide groove 710 and slides in contact with the guide groove 710 so that when the active drive member 72 drives the swing member 71 to swing, the third protrusion 63 can slide in the guide groove 710, thereby controlling the position of the mating member 60 through the third protrusion 63 so that the mating member 60 can switch between the unlocked state and the locked state.

[0128] In some embodiments, such as Figure 19 As shown, the second protrusion 62 and the third protrusion 63 are located on opposite sidewalls of the mating member 60. When the active drive member 72 drives the swing member 71 to rotate, causing the third protrusion 63 to slide relative to the guide groove 710 within the guide groove 710, the second protrusion 62 can change accordingly when the position of the third protrusion 63 changes. This allows the second protrusion 62 to switch between a stop-fitting position with the inner wall of the switching groove 511 and a position spaced apart from the inner wall of the switching groove 511, so that the mating member 60 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state.

[0129] In addition, the second protrusion 62 and the third protrusion 63 are disposed on the opposite sidewalls of the mating member 60. The second protrusion 62 is abutted or disengaged from the switching groove 511 of the first movable arm, and the third protrusion 63 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 710 of the swing member 71, so as to place the first movable arm 51 and the swing member 71 on both sides of the mating member 60, thereby facilitating the reduction of the space occupied by the mating member 60, the first movable arm 51 and the swing member 71.

[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the guide groove 710 includes a first guide groove 711 and a second guide groove 712. The first guide groove 711 is formed as an arc-shaped groove. One end of the second guide groove 712 is connected to the first guide groove 711, and the other end of the second guide groove 712 extends toward the rotation center of the swing member 71. The first elastic member 81 is connected to the mating member 60 and the swing member 71 respectively, so as to apply a force to the mating member 60 to move toward the rotation center of the swing member 71.

[0131] When the third protrusion 63 is located in the first guide groove 711, the mating part 60 is in the unlocked position. At this time, the second protrusion 62 abuts against the side wall of the switching groove 511. Pulling the handle 91 will drive the first movable arm 51 to rotate. The first movable arm 51 can drive the second protrusion 62 to rotate, and the second protrusion 62 can drive the second movable arm 52 to rotate, so that the second movable arm 52 can drive the latch assembly 20 to rotate, so that the latch assembly 20 is disengaged from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body, and the door can be opened.

[0132] When the active drive member 72 drives the swing member 71 to rotate counterclockwise, the swing member 71 gradually rotates from the first position to the second position. At this time, the third protrusion 63 slides along the first guide groove 711 relative to the swing member 71 to the connection between the first guide groove 711 and the second guide groove 712. When the third protrusion 63 disengages from the first guide groove 711, under the drive of the first elastic member 81, the third protrusion 63 moves towards the direction closer to the rotation center of the swing member 71. At the same time, the second protrusion 62 moves from the position of stopping against the side wall of the switching groove 511 to the position spaced apart from the side wall of the switching groove 511. At this time, the mating member 60 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0133] When the active drive 72 drives the swing member 71 to rotate clockwise, the swing member 71 gradually rotates from the second position to the first position. At this time, the third protrusion 63 moves along the second guide groove 712 in a direction away from the rotation center of the swing member 71. When the third protrusion 63 disengages from the second guide groove 712 and slides into the first guide groove 711, the second protrusion 62 moves from a position spaced apart from the side wall of the switching groove 511 to a position that abuts against the side wall of the switching groove 511. At this time, the mating member 60 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0134] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 14 As shown, the active drive component 72 includes a second motor 722 and a worm gear 721. The second motor 722 is connected to the worm gear 721 to drive it to rotate. The worm gear 721 meshes with the oscillating component 71 so that when the second motor 722 drives the worm gear 721 to rotate, the worm gear 721 can drive the oscillating component 71 to rotate, thereby realizing the reciprocating rotation of the oscillating component 71.

[0135] The second motor 722 drives the oscillating member 71 to rotate via the worm gear 721, so as to reasonably set the positions of the second motor 722, the worm gear 721 and the oscillating member 71, and to reduce the space occupied by the second drive assembly.

[0136] like Figure 14 As shown, by setting a worm gear 721, the rotation of the second motor 722 is transmitted to the swing member 71, so that the length direction of the second motor 722 is consistent with the length direction of the swing member 71 or the first movable arm 51 and the second movable arm 52. This makes it easier to reduce the space occupied by the second motor 722 in other planes, so that the position of the second drive component can be reasonably set, and the space occupied by the second drive component can be reduced.

[0137] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below. The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a door and a door lock assembly 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0138] The housing 10 is located on the door, and the body has a latch engagement part that cooperates with the latch assembly 20. When the latch assembly 20 moves, the latch assembly 20 disengages from the latch engagement part to open the door.

[0139] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the latch assembly 20 includes a second latch portion 22 and a first latch portion 21, which are arranged spaced apart. Both the first latch portion 21 and the first latch portion 22 are rotatable relative to the housing 10, and the first latch portion 21 is used to selectively limit the second latch portion 22 so that the second latch portion 22 can engage or disengage with the lock cylinder of the vehicle body.

[0140] Specifically, when the first locking tongue 21 rotates to Figure 12 When the position shown is reached, the first latch 21 can limit the second latch 22, allowing the second latch 22 to engage with the lock cylinder of the vehicle body to lock the door; and when the first latch 21 rotates to... Figure 13 When in the position shown, the first latch 21 can avoid the second latch 22, and the second latch 22 can rotate and disengage from the lock cylinder of the vehicle body to open the door.

[0141] Specifically, when the door does not need to be locked, the opening assembly 30 can be switched to the engaged state by rotating the rotating component 41. At this time, the opening assembly can engage with the latch assembly 20, that is, the opening assembly 30 engages with the first latch 21. If an external force is applied to the opening assembly 30 (such as through a motor or handle), the opening assembly 30 can drive the first latch 21 to move, so that the first latch 21 avoids the second latch 22, allowing the second latch 22 to rotate and disengage from the latch engagement part of the vehicle body, thereby opening the door.

[0142] When the door lock needs to be secured, the opening component 30 can be switched to the disengaged state by rotating component 41. The opening component 30 separates from the latch component 20, that is, the opening component 30 separates from the first latch part 21. At this time, if an external force is applied to the opening component 30, the opening component 30 cannot drive the first latch part 21 to move, and the door remains locked.

[0143] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by utilizing the door lock assembly 1 of the present invention as described above, the latch assembly 20 can be locked, which has the advantages of improving the compactness of the door lock assembly 1 structure, simplifying the structure of the door lock assembly 1, and reducing the complexity of the door lock assembly 1 structure.

[0144] Other configurations and operations of the vehicle according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
