DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0051] Referring to Figure 3 and 4 , the present application provides an unlocking assembly, comprising:
[0052] A support sleeve 3, a pressing sleeve 33 capable of sliding in a vertical direction is movably sleeved in the support sleeve 3; a pressing rack 331 vertically arranged is fixed on the outer sidewall of the pressing sleeve 33;
[0053] A slide rod 35 is sleeved in the pressing sleeve 33; a force ring 351 located below the pressing sleeve 33 is fixed on the outer wall of the slide rod 35; an unlocking elastic piece 34 with two ends abutting against the pressing sleeve 33 and the force ring 351 is further sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 35;
[0054] An upper shaft sleeve 13 is fixed on the top of the slide rod 35;
[0055] An upper hinge shaft 12 is sleeved with the upper shaft sleeve 13; the lower end surface of the upper hinge shaft 12 is magnetically attracted to the inner bottom surface of the upper shaft sleeve 13;
[0056] Optionally, the upper hinge shaft 12 of the present application is made of magnetic material, preferably strong magnetic material such as neodymium magnet; the upper shaft sleeve 13 is made of magnetic conductive material, or a magnetic attraction layer made of magnetic material is provided on the inner bottom surface of the upper shaft sleeve 13. The upper hinge shaft 12 and the upper shaft sleeve 13 are magnetically attracted and matched, and the two can be separated by overcoming the magnetic attraction force.
[0057] The lower pressing gear 32 is rotatably arranged on the bracket sleeve 3 and is in meshing cooperation with the lower pressing rack 331; the lower pressing gear 32 is also coaxially connected with the driving wheel 31;
[0058] The lower shaft sleeve is arranged below the sliding rod 35 and is sleeved with the lower hinge shaft 24; the lower shaft sleeve includes a lower fixed shaft sleeve 22 and a lower movable shaft sleeve 23;
[0059] The lower fixed shaft sleeve 22 and the lower movable shaft sleeve 23 accommodate the lower hinge shaft 24 after being combined; the lower movable shaft sleeve 23 can be moved in the horizontal direction and separated from the lower fixed shaft sleeve 22, so that the lower hinge shaft 24 is separated from the lower shaft sleeve.
[0060] The sliding rail member 36 can be moved in the horizontal direction; the sliding rail member 36 is fixedly connected with the lower movable shaft sleeve 23 and is drivingly connected with the driving wheel 31;
[0061] Combining Figure 5 The unlocking process: the unlocking force is applied to move the sliding rail member 36 backward in the horizontal direction, drive the lower movable shaft sleeve 23 to move horizontally and separate from the lower fixed shaft sleeve 22, so that a space allowing the lower hinge shaft 24 to enter and exit is formed between the two;
[0062] The driving wheel 31 and the lower pressing gear 32 are driven to rotate, and then the lower pressing sleeve 33 is vertically moved downward to compress the unlocking elastic member 34, so that the unlocking elastic member 34 accumulates elastic energy; when the elastic force accumulated by the unlocking elastic member 34 exceeds the magnetic attraction force between the upper hinge shaft 12 and the upper shaft sleeve 13, the unlocking elastic member 34 releases the elastic energy to drive the sliding rod 35 to move vertically downward, so that the upper hinge shaft 12 is separated from the upper shaft sleeve 13; the lower end of the sliding rod 35 enters the space and blocks the self-resetting of the lower movable shaft sleeve 23.
[0063] Optionally, at this time, the unlocking assembly is rotated by a certain angle, so that the upper hinge shaft 12 is separated from the upper shaft sleeve 13, and the lower hinge shaft 24 is separated from the lower shaft sleeve from the space; the unlocking of the upper and lower hinge structures is realized. After the unlocking of the upper and lower hinge structures, the unlocking force can be removed, and at this time, the lower end of the sliding rod 35 is located in the space and blocks the resetting of the lower movable shaft sleeve 23; it also avoids the self-resetting of the lower movable shaft sleeve 23 to block the return of the lower hinge shaft 24 to the lower shaft sleeve.
[0064] The person skilled in the art can adaptively set the relationship between the rear movement of the sliding rail 36 and the energy storage of the unlocking elastic member 34, so as to adapt them to realize the synchronous unlocking of the upper and lower hinge structures.
[0065] The reset elastic member 4 is further included, which is configured to be compressed and accumulate elastic energy during the unlocking process.
[0066] As an embodiment, one end of the reset elastic member 4 abuts against the lower movable shaft sleeve 23, and the other end abuts against the force point; during the unlocking process, the lower movable shaft sleeve 23 retreats to compress the reset elastic member 4 and accumulate elastic energy.
[0067] The reset process: after the unlocking force is removed, the magnetic attraction force between the upper hinge shaft 12 and the upper shaft sleeve 13 drives the sliding rod 35 to vertically move upward until they are re-attracted; when the lower end of the sliding rod 35 leaves the accommodation space, the reset elastic member 4 releases the elastic energy to reset the movable shaft sleeve 23.
[0068] Preferably, the unlocking elastic member 34 and the reset elastic member 4 of the present application are both springs.
[0069] Optionally, the unlocking elastic member 34 and the reset elastic member 4 can also be elastic rubbers.
[0070] As an embodiment, the lower movable shaft sleeve 23 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 231; the limiting plate 231 is configured to accommodate the lower end of the sliding rod 35 to abut against the limiting plate 231 during the unlocking process; the vertical downward movement of the sliding rod 35 is limited, so that the distance between the upper hinge shaft 12 and the upper shaft sleeve 13 is kept within the effective range of the magnetic attraction force; after the unlocking force is removed, the magnetic attraction force can move the sliding rod 35 upward to start the reset process.
[0071] The distance between the upper hinge shaft 12 and the upper shaft sleeve 13 is prevented from being too large to be out of the effective range of the magnetic attraction force, which affects the spontaneous execution of the subsequent reset action.
[0072] The downward movement of the sliding rod 35 needs to make the upper hinge shaft 12 separate from the upper shaft sleeve 13 while being within the effective range of the magnetic attraction force. Through verification of various schemes of the inventor, the distance of the upper hinge shaft 12 extending into the upper shaft sleeve 13 of the present application is not more than 12 mm; when the sliding rod 35 abuts against the limiting plate 231, the distance between the lower end surface of the upper hinge shaft 12 and the inner bottom surface of the upper shaft sleeve 13 is not more than 15 mm, preferably 12-15 mm; the distance can make the sliding rod 35 move upward after the unlocking force is removed.
[0073] As an embodiment, after the slide rod 35 is lowered, the elastic force of the unlocking elastic member 34 is basically released; at this time, the unlocking force can be continuously applied or increased, so that the lower pressing sleeve 33 continues to be lowered to compress the unlocking elastic member 34 again, accumulate the elastic force, resist the magnetic attraction force, and make the lower end of the slide rod 35 abut against the limiting plate 231, thereby keeping the unlocking state.
[0074] When the next operation is performed: the unlocking assembly is rotated, the upper hinge shaft 12 is out of position with the upper shaft sleeve 13, the magnetic attraction force between the two is disappeared, at this time the unlocking force can be removed, and the slide rod 35 still keeps the unlocking state.
[0075] Optionally, the slide rod 35 and the limiting plate 231 are both metal materials. When the elastic force of the unlocking elastic member 34 is released, the slide rod 35 is pushed to hit the limiting plate 231 at a certain speed, an impact sound is generated, reminding the user that the unlocking action is completed, and the next operation can be performed in time, so that the operation action of the user is standardized and coherent.
[0076] As an embodiment, the drive wheel 31 is a wire wheel, a pull rope is wound on the wire wheel, and the pull rope is further connected with a slide rail member 36; the slide rail member 36 is moved backward, the wire wheel is rotated through the pull rope, and the driving force is transmitted.
[0077] Referring to Figure 6 , as an embodiment, a disc shaft 313 is rotationally arranged on the support sleeve 3, and a torsion spring is connected between the disc shaft 313 and the support sleeve 3; one end of the disc shaft 313 is fixedly connected with the drive wheel 31, and the other end is fixedly connected with a pawl disc 311, and the pawl disc 311 is provided with a pawl 312;
[0078] The lower pressing gear 32 is coaxially connected with a ratchet sleeve 321 which is movably sleeved with the pawl disc 311, and the inner wall of the ratchet sleeve 321 is annularly provided with a ratchet tooth which is matched with the pawl 312;
[0079] In the unlocking process, the drive wheel 31 is rotated, the driving force is transmitted to drive the lower pressing gear 32 to rotate through the cooperation between the pawl 312 and the ratchet tooth. The torsion spring is energized in this process.
[0080] After the unlocking force is removed, the elastic force accumulated by the torsion spring can keep the pull rope in a tension state. In the resetting process, the torsion spring releases the energy, so that the drive wheel 31 is reversely rotated to wind up the pull rope and keep it in a tension state. The pull rope is prevented from being relaxed, so that the unlocking force cannot be completely transmitted and the unlocking is affected. When the drive wheel 31 is reversely rotated, the pawl 312 is disengaged from the ratchet tooth, so that the resistance of the lower pressing gear 32 to reset is reduced.
[0081] Referring to Figure 8 , as an embodiment, the drive wheel 31 is a drive gear, and a drive rack 28 which is drivingly matched with the drive gear is fixedly arranged on the slide rail member 36;
[0082] Further, based on the large distance between the drive rack 28 and the drive wheel 31, the drive rack 28 is engaged with the first transmission gear 281, the first transmission gear 281 is engaged with the second transmission gear 282, and the second transmission gear 282 is engaged with the drive wheel.
[0083] By setting the transmission ratio of the drive gear and the first transmission gear 281, the amount of backward movement of the slide rail 36 and the energy storage relationship of the unlocking elastic member 34 can be accurately controlled, so that they are matched, and the upper and lower hinge structures are unlocked synchronously.
[0084] Further, based on the optimization of the installation position, the slide rail 36 is further fixedly connected with the connecting claw 26, which is used for connecting the pull rope or mounting the drive rack 28.
[0085] The unlocking assembly of the present application can realize the simultaneous unlocking of the upper and lower hinges through the vertical downward movement of the slide rod 35 and the lower movable shaft sleeve 23, and can automatically reset through the magnetic attraction force between the upper hinge shaft 12 and the upper shaft sleeve 13. The operation is stable and reliable, convenient to operate, realizes the unlocking and resetting operation of the hinge shaft and the shaft sleeve cooperation of the single-shaft hinge, and expands the application range of the single-shaft hinge.

At this time, the handle 5 of the other unlocking assembly cannot be pulled, so that the unlocking operation of the other unlocking assembly is limited, thereby avoiding the situation that the two unlocking assemblies are opened at the same time.
