Description

[0001] This invention is a divisional application of Chinese patent application filed on July 19, 2017, with application number 201710587936.2 and invention title "Silent Buffer Lock Body". Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of door lock technology for buildings and homes, and particularly to lock bodies, especially quiet, buffered lock bodies with low noise. Background Technology

[0003] Currently, door locks used in the home furnishing sector typically have metal components. During opening and closing, the impact or friction between these components generates noise. Common solutions to reduce noise focus on the bolt, the part most prone to impact, directly mitigating the impact or improving the components it contacts. This has had a positive effect on reducing noise during closing. However, the noise generated during closing is not solely due to the extension and retraction of the latch; a significant portion also arises from friction between internal lock components. For double-latch locks, the extension and retraction of the square latch also contributes to the noise. To address these issues, this invention proposes a silent, buffered lock body.

Buffer grooves 301 are provided at both ends of the sound-absorbing guide groove 331, the sound-absorbing positioning groove 332, and the upper sound-absorbing positioning groove 341 to increase the deformation of the buffer area and achieve a better buffering effect.

[0063] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the tail of the square tongue paddle 35 is provided with a square tongue mating tooth 351. The square tongue mating tooth 351 intermittently engages with the square tongue damping gear 61 on the square tongue damper 6, which can play a good buffering role at the end of the square tongue's extension or retraction stroke, maintaining a good operating feel and achieving a good buffering effect. The middle is provided with a positioning hole 354, which is fixed on the stud 23 of the box bottom 20. The side of the square tongue paddle 35 is provided with a paddle opening 353, and the end is provided with a sliding post 355. The sliding post 355 can slide in the sliding groove 321 on the square tongue plate 32 and the noise-absorbing guide groove 331 on the noise-absorbing pad 33 under the square tongue plate, effectively actuating the square tongue 31 while avoiding noise generation.

[0064] In this invention, the oblique tongue paddle mechanism 4 includes a lower oblique tongue paddle 41; an oblique tongue paddle 42; a paddle plate 43; and an upper oblique tongue paddle 44. The oblique tongue paddle silencing assembly includes: a lower silencing ring disposed at the lower end of the oblique tongue paddle; a lower oblique tongue paddle silencing ring and an upper oblique tongue paddle silencing ring nested outside the oblique tongue paddle; and an upper silencing ring disposed at the upper end of the oblique tongue paddle.

[0065] Specifically, in Figure 4 and Figure 5In the embodiment shown, the lower end of the oblique tongue paddle 42 is provided with a lower muffler ring 421, and an oblique tongue paddle lower muffler pad 41 is nested on its outer side. The oblique tongue paddle lower muffler pad 41 is limited in the oblique tongue paddle hole of the box bottom 20. The oblique tongue paddle 42 is provided with a limiting cam 423 on the upper part of the muffler ring 421. A square limiting post 422 (with chamfer in the figure) is provided in the middle of the oblique tongue paddle 42. It is inserted into the irregular limiting hole 433 in the middle of the actuating piece 43, which can realize the relative movement of the actuating piece 43 and the oblique tongue paddle 42 in the radial direction. The relative movement angle range is 0° to 90°. An upper muffler ring 424 is provided on the upper part of the oblique tongue paddle 42, and an oblique tongue paddle upper muffler pad 44 is nested on its outer side. The oblique tongue paddle upper muffler pad 44 is limited in the oblique tongue paddle hole of the box cover 8. The actuating plate 43 has a side actuation limiting groove 431 at one end and a transmission handle 434 at the other end. It has a special-shaped limiting hole 433 in the middle and a slanted tongue engaging tooth 432 on the outside of the special-shaped limiting hole 433. The slanted tongue engaging tooth 432 engages with the slanted tongue damping gear 71 on the slanted tongue damper 7. The intermittent engagement between the slanted tongue engaging tooth 432 and the slanted tongue damping gear 71 on the slanted tongue damper 7 can play a good buffering role at the end of the extension or retraction stroke of the slanted tongue, which maintains a good operating feel and achieves a good buffering effect.

[0066] In this invention, the oblique tongue assembly 5 includes a friction tongue 51, a spring 52, an oblique tongue 53, a spring 54, a limiting silencing ring 55, a pull rod 56, and a slider 57. The oblique tongue assembly's silent buffer mechanism includes a silencing friction tongue and a limiting silencing ring sleeved on the pull rod. Specifically, the silencing friction tongue 51 is pivotally connected to the middle of the oblique tongue 53; the spring 52 is embedded in the oblique tongue 53 and presses against the rear end of the silencing friction tongue 51, keeping the silencing friction tongue 51 aligned with the oblique tongue 53 when it is not extended; the oblique tongue slider 57 has a positioning groove 571 in the middle and a guide post 572 at the rear; a pull rod 56 is fixed to the rear end of the oblique tongue 53, the pull rod is equipped with a spring 54 and a limiting silencing ring 55, and a positioning ring 561 is provided at the rear end of the pull rod 56, which is embedded in the positioning groove 571 of the slider 57; the limiting silencing ring 55 is engaged with the U-shaped part of the positioning plate 27. Inside the 271-shaped hole; a transmission groove 91 is provided in the middle of the transmission plate 9, which is embedded in the guide block 324 of the square tongue plate 32. The upper end of the transmission plate 9 is placed in the transmission plate groove 342 on the sound-absorbing pad 34 of the square tongue plate; the guide post 572 at the rear of the oblique tongue slider 57 slides in the actuation limit groove 431 of the actuation plate 43; after the upper end of the transmission plate 9 abuts against the transmission handle 434 of the actuation plate 43 of the actuation plate 43, the unlocking torque can be transmitted to the actuation plate 43, which drives the slider 57 to retract backward through the actuation limit groove 431, thereby causing the oblique tongue 53 to retract into the bottom 20 of the box.

[0067] The noise-absorbing components described in this invention, including the square tongue noise-absorbing block 22, the oblique tongue noise-absorbing block 29, the noise-absorbing friction tongue 51, the oblique tongue upper noise-absorbing pad 44, the oblique tongue lower noise-absorbing pad 41, the square tongue lower noise-absorbing pad 33, and the square tongue upper noise-absorbing pad 34, are all made of noise-absorbing plastic materials. Depending on actual needs, one or more noise-absorbing materials such as nylon, TPE elastic plastic, TPR elastic plastic, and ABS can be used to manufacture the above-mentioned noise-absorbing components.

[0068] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 (combination) Figures 1 to 5 As shown, during the extension (or retraction) of the square tongue 31, the sliding post 355 at the end of the square tongue lever 35 slides within the sliding groove 321 on the square tongue plate 32 and the noise-reducing guide groove 331 on the lower noise-reducing pad 33 of the square tongue plate, effectively actuating the square tongue 31 while avoiding noise generation. At the same time, the square tongue mating tooth 351 intermittently engages with the square tongue damping gear 61 on the square tongue damper 6, providing a good buffering effect at the end of the extension or retraction stroke of the square tongue, maintaining a good operating feel while achieving a good buffering effect, reducing the speed of the square tongue 31 extension (or retraction), and reducing the noise generated by the collision between the various linkage components. Furthermore, during the extension (or retraction) of the square tongue 31, the square tongue 31 slides within the square tongue noise-reducing block 22 without generating noise, and the lower noise-reducing pad 33 and the upper noise-reducing pad 34 on both sides of the square tongue plate 32 make flexible contact with the bottom of the box 20 and the lid of the box, respectively, without generating noise.

[0069] The oblique tongue 53 extends under the elastic force of the spring 54 or retracts under the action of external force. During this process, the oblique tongue 53 slides in the oblique tongue noise-absorbing block 29, and no friction noise is generated. The lower noise-absorbing pad 41 of the oblique tongue jack is limited to the oblique tongue jack hole of the bottom of the box 20, and the upper noise-absorbing pad 44 of the oblique tongue jack is limited to the oblique tongue jack hole of the cover 8. No friction noise is generated during the rotation of the oblique tongue jack. Moreover, the oblique tongue mating tooth 432 and the oblique tongue damping gear 71 on the oblique tongue damper 7 are intermittently engaged, which can play a good buffering role at the end of the oblique tongue extension or retraction stroke. This maintains a good operating feel and achieves a good buffering effect, reduces the speed of the oblique tongue 53 extension or retraction, and reduces the noise generated by the collision between the linkage components.

[0070] like Figure 8 As shown, after the upper end of the transmission plate 9 contacts the transmission handle 434 of the actuating plate 43, the unlocking torque can be transmitted to the actuating plate 43. Through the actuating limit groove 431, the slider 57 is driven to retract backward, thereby causing the oblique tongue 53 to retract into the bottom 20 of the box. When the oblique tongue 53 retracts, the spring piece 52 pressing against the rear end of the silencing friction tongue 51 pushes the silencing friction tongue 51 forward, keeping the silencing friction tongue 51 aligned with the oblique tongue 53.

[0071] like Figure 9As shown, when the latch 53 extends, the friction tongue positioning post 291, located within the latch silencing block 29, prevents the tail end of the silencing friction tongue 51 from sliding out of the latch silencing block. The front end of the silencing friction tongue 51 is raised above the surface of the latch 53. Simultaneously, the spring 52 is compressed to provide elastic preload to the silencing friction tongue 51. When the door closes, the silencing friction tongue 51 contacts the latch box on the door frame before the latch 53, buffering the impact force of closing and reducing noise generated by the collision of various linkage components. Furthermore, the silencing friction tongue 51 makes flexible contact with the latch silencing block 29 during extension and retraction, preventing noise generation.

[0072] This invention comprehensively utilizes flexible material buffering, damping buffering, and elastic buffering to significantly reduce the extension or retraction speed of the square latch 31 and the oblique latch 53, thereby reducing noise generated by the collision of various linkage components. It achieves all the noise reduction technical indicators of a silent door lock, providing a high-quality product for improving people's quality of life.

[0073] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the silent buffer lock body provided by the present invention eliminates the noise generated by the square tongue assembly during use through the silent buffer mechanism of the square tongue assembly, the square tongue damper, and the square tongue muffler; and eliminates the noise generated by the oblique tongue assembly during use through the silent buffer mechanism of the oblique tongue assembly, the oblique tongue damper, the oblique tongue muffler, and the oblique tongue pusher muffler assembly; thereby solving the problem of noise generated by the impact or friction between the various components of the lock body when closing or opening the door.
