Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of locks, and more specifically, to a lock assembly, mounting bracket, battery, and electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, an electrical device may be equipped with a locking assembly, which has a locking structure for installing a battery. The locking structure is mounted to the housing of the locking assembly via a mounting shaft. After the battery is installed on the electrical device, the battery is mounted on the locking structure, causing the weight of the battery to be concentrated on the mounting shaft. This results in concentrated force on the locking assembly, which leads to poor static load resistance and affects the service life of the locking assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to at least partially solve one of the aforementioned technical problems in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a locking assembly in which the first locking member and the second locking member share the force, reducing the difference in force distribution between the first and second rotating shafts, improving the locking assembly's ability to withstand static loads, and thus extending the service life of the locking assembly.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a lock component, including:

[0005] The mounting base includes a first locking wall surface having a locking pin through groove configured to be recessed along a first direction;

[0006] The first locking member is rotatably disposed on the mounting base along the first rotating shaft. The first locking member includes a first mating part and a locking groove. The plane passing through the axis of the first rotating shaft and perpendicular to the first locking wall is the first plane, which is parallel to the first direction.

[0007] The second locking member is rotatably disposed on the mounting base along the second pivot. The second locking member includes a second mating part. A plane passing through the axis of the second pivot and perpendicular to the first locking wall is configured as a second plane. The second plane is parallel to the first direction.

[0008] The locking assembly is configured such that when the first locking member rotates to engage the first mating part with the second mating part, the first locking member is locked by the second locking member, and the overlapping area A of the locking groove and the locking pin through groove projected in a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall is located between the first plane and the second plane.

[0009] In the above technical solution, by setting a first locking component and a second locking component, after the battery is assembled on the lock assembly, the weight of the battery is distributed between the first locking component and the second locking component. The first locking component and the second locking component share the force, reducing the difference in force distribution between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, improving the lock assembly's ability to withstand static loads, and helping to extend the service life of the lock assembly.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the first locking member is locked by the second locking member, the area where the projection of the first locking member and the locking pin through groove coincides in a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall is B, and at least a portion of area B is located on the side of area A near the first rotating shaft.

[0011] In the above technical solution, when the first locking member is locked by the second locking member, at least a portion of region B is located on the side of region A near the first rotating shaft. This allows the locking pin to be slowly clamped as the locking assembly changes to the locked state, reducing the jumping of the locking pin after it is locked in the locking groove.

[0012] In some embodiments, the locking pin groove includes an open end and a terminating end, and the edge of the first locking member is recessed towards the center in a direction parallel to the first locking wall to form a locking groove. The first locking member includes a first extension arm and a second extension arm located on both sides of the locking groove. The first extension arm is closer to the terminating end than the second extension arm. The second extension arm is configured to be at least partially located between the open end and the terminating end when the first locking member is locked by the second locking member.

[0013] In the above technical solution, when the first locking member is locked by the second locking member, at least a portion of the second extension arm is located between the open end and the end, which allows the second extension arm to carry the locking pin.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first locking member is configured to be rotatable between a first locked position and a first unlocked position. When the first locking member is in the first locked position, the first locking member is engaged by a second locking member; when the first unlocked position, the first locking member disengages from the engagement with the second locking member.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the first locking member is rotatable between the first locking position and the first unlocking position, which facilitates the locking of the first locking member and the second locking member, and also facilitates the first locking member to disengage from the locking of the second locking member.

[0016] In some embodiments, when the first locking member is in the first unlocked position, the projection of the second extension arm is misaligned with the projection of the locking pin through groove in a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall.

[0017] In the above technical solution, when the first locking member is in the first unlocking position, the projection of the second extension arm is misaligned with the projection of the locking pin through groove, which facilitates the locking pin entering the locking pin through groove.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first mating portion is located on the first extension arm.

[0019] In the above technical solution, by setting the first mating part on the first extension arm, when the first locking member is in the first locking position, the second locking member stops the first locking member by abutting against the first extension arm.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first extension arm further includes a first arcuate surface centered on a first pivot, the first arcuate surface facing the second locking member when the first locking member is in a first unlocked position.

[0021] In the above technical solution, by setting a first arc surface through the first extension arm, during the unlocking process of the lock assembly, the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member and the first locking member always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member. It can also be understood that the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member and the first locking member always passes through the central axis of the first rotating shaft. This ensures that the pressure of the second locking member on the first locking member always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member, without any additional force interfering with the unlocking process.

[0022] In some embodiments, the first arcuate surface is configured to at least partially contact the second locking member when the first locking member is in the first unlocked position.

[0023] In the above technical solution, when the first locking member is in the first unlocked position, it contacts the second locking member through at least a portion of the first arc surface. During the unlocking process of the lock assembly, the second locking member abuts against the first arc surface, which can keep the position of the second locking member stationary.

[0024] In some embodiments, the second locking member has a second unlocking position and a second locking position relative to the mounting base. When the second locking member is in the second unlocking position, it is offset from the maximum rotation range of the first locking member along a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall. When the second locking member is in the second locking position, the first mating part and the second mating part cooperate to make the first locking member be locked by the second locking member.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the second locking member can be rotated to the second unlocking position and the second locking position. By rotating the second locking member between the second unlocking position and the second locking position, it is convenient for the second locking member to engage the first locking member, and it is also convenient for the first locking member to disengage from the engagement of the second locking member.

[0026] In some embodiments, the second locking member has one of a guide post and an arcuate guide hole, and the mounting base has the other of a guide post and a guide hole, the guide post being mounted in the guide hole and the guide hole surrounding the second pivot.

[0027] In the above technical solution, through the guiding cooperation of the guide post and the guide hole, during the rotation of the second locking member around the central axis of the second rotating shaft, the guide post moves along the guide hole in the guide hole. Under the guiding cooperation of the guide post and the guide hole, the second locking member can only rotate around the second rotating shaft, which can reduce the risk of the second locking member deviating, thereby making the second locking member rotate smoothly to the second unlocking position or the second locking position.

[0028] In some embodiments, the lock assembly further includes a first reset member connected between the mounting base and the second locking member, the first reset member being used to drive the second locking member to rotate from a second unlocked position to a second locked position.

[0029] In the above technical solution, by connecting the first reset member between the mounting base and the second locking member, the first reset member can automatically drive the second locking member to rotate from the second unlocking position to the second locking position, thereby achieving automatic locking of the second locking member and the first locking member, and thus achieving automatic locking of the lock assembly.

[0030] In some embodiments, the lock assembly further includes a drive assembly mounted on a mounting base, the drive assembly being configured to drive the second locking member to rotate from a second locked position to a second unlocked position.

[0031] In the above technical solution, by setting a driving component, the second locking member can be driven to rotate from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, thereby achieving the automatic unlocking effect of the lock component.

[0032] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a drive arm and a drive rod. The drive arm is rotatably mounted on the mounting base via a third pivot. The drive rod is connected to the drive arm and is used to drive the drive arm to rotate so as to drive the second locking member to move from a second locked position to a second unlocked position.

[0033] In the above technical solution, by setting a drive arm, when it is necessary to unlock the lock assembly, the drive arm is rotated to push the second locking member from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, thereby achieving the effect of unlocking the lock assembly. By setting a drive rod, the drive rod can drive the drive arm to rotate during its movement, thereby driving the second locking member from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, thus achieving the effect of unlocking the lock assembly.

[0034] In some embodiments, the drive arm is configured to rotate between a third unlock position and a third locking position, and the drive arm is configured to drive the second locking member from the second locking position to the second unlock position when rotating from the third locking position to the third unlock position.

[0035] In the above technical solution, the position of the second locking member can be changed by changing the position of the driving arm between the third unlocking position and the third locking position, thereby changing the position of the first locking member and realizing unlocking or locking.

[0036] In some embodiments, the lock assembly further includes a second reset member connected between the mounting base and the drive arm, the second reset member being used to drive the drive arm to move from a third unlocked position to a third locked position.

[0037] In the above technical solution, by setting a second reset component, after the drive arm moves to the third unlock position and the lock component is converted to the unlock state, the drive arm can return to the third locking position to wait for the next locking action.

[0038] In some embodiments, the drive lever is configured to move between a fourth unlock position and a fourth locking position, and the drive lever is configured to drive the drive arm to move from a third locking position to a third unlock position when moving from the fourth locking position to the fourth unlock position.

[0039] In the above technical solution, the position of the drive arm can be changed between the third locking position and the third unlocking position by changing the position of the drive rod between the fourth unlocking position and the fourth locking position. The drive rod drives the drive arm to move, thereby driving the second locking member to move to the unlocking state, and the first locking member can complete the unlocking.

[0040] In some embodiments, the lock assembly further includes a guide sleeve fixed to the mounting base, and a drive rod passing through the guide sleeve to enable the drive rod to move axially along the guide sleeve.

[0041] In the above technical solution, the guide sleeve and the drive rod cooperate to guide the movement of the drive rod in the height direction of the lock assembly, so that the drive rod can move in the height direction of the lock assembly, reducing the risk of the drive rod tilting or deviating, thereby enabling the lock assembly to unlock smoothly. In addition, by fitting the guide sleeve onto the drive rod, the dustproof effect of the lock assembly can be improved, reducing the risk of dust and other substances entering the installation space through the clearance hole.

[0042] In some embodiments, the drive rod is configured to move axially along the guide sleeve between a fourth unlock position and a fourth locking position. The locking assembly further includes a third reset member disposed within the guide sleeve, and the third reset member is used to drive the drive rod to move from the fourth unlock position to the fourth locking position.

[0043] In the above technical solution, after the lock assembly is unlocked, the third reset component can drive the drive rod to rotate from the fourth locked position to the fourth unlocked position, thereby resetting the drive rod. During the resetting process, the drive rod can drive the drive arm to rotate away from the second rotating shaft, thereby resetting the drive arm.

[0044] In some embodiments, a drive rod is movably disposed on a mounting base, the drive rod having one of a mounting post and a slotted hole, and a drive arm having the other of a mounting post and a slotted hole, the mounting post being mounted in the slotted hole.

[0045] In the above technical solution, by setting the mounting post and the strip hole, the connection between the drive rod and the drive arm can be realized. When the drive rod drives the drive arm to rotate along the height direction of the lock assembly, the mounting post can move along the strip hole, which can reduce the occurrence of jamming at the connection between the drive rod and the drive arm, and make the drive rod move smoothly to drive the drive arm to rotate.

[0046] In some embodiments, the locking assembly further includes a fourth reset member connected between the mounting base and the first locking member, the fourth reset member being used to drive the first locking member to rotate from a first locked position to a first unlocked position.

[0047] In the above technical solution, by setting a fourth reset member, the fourth reset member can drive the first locking member to rotate from the first locking position to the first unlocking position, so that the first locking member can return to its original position, thereby enabling the lock assembly to be unlocked smoothly.

[0048] In some embodiments, the lock assembly further includes a detection switch configured to be triggered when the first locking member moves from a first locked position to a first unlocked position, and / or the detection switch is configured to be triggered when the first locking member moves from the first unlocked position to the first locked position.

[0049] In the above technical solution, by setting a detection switch, it is easy to monitor the switching between the locked and unlocked states of the lock component.

[0050] In some embodiments, the detection switch is fixed to the mounting base and corresponding to the second locking member, so as to trigger the detection switch through the second locking member when the first locking member is engaged with the second locking member, and / or to trigger the detection switch through the second locking member when the first locking member is disengaged from the second locking member.

[0051] In the above technical solution, the detection switch does not directly contact the first locking member for detection, but indirectly detects the switching of the first locking member between the locked and unlocked states through the second locking member. This can reduce the probability of accidental activation of the detection switch when the locking pin jumps and drives the first locking member to move, thus reducing detection errors.

[0052] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a mounting bracket for installing a battery into an electrical device. The mounting bracket includes the aforementioned locking assembly, which is used for detachably connecting to the battery.

[0053] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a battery including the aforementioned locking assembly, which is used to detachably install the battery to an electrical device.

[0054] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an electrical device including a battery and the aforementioned locking assembly, wherein the battery is detachably installed to the electrical device via the locking assembly.

[0077] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0078] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used in the description of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the description, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the description, claims, or accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order or hierarchy.

[0079] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0080] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "attachment" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0081] In this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0082] In the embodiments of this application, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of this application shown in the accompanying drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of the integrated device, are merely illustrative and should not constitute any limitation on this application.

[0083] The battery mentioned in the embodiments of this application refers to a single physical module comprising one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity. For example, the battery mentioned in this application may include a battery module or a battery pack. A battery generally includes a housing for encapsulating one or more battery cells or multiple battery modules. The housing can prevent liquids or other foreign matter from affecting the charging or discharging of the battery cells.

[0084] In recent years, new energy vehicles have experienced rapid development. In the field of electric vehicles, the power battery, as the power source, plays an irreplaceable and crucial role. A battery consists of a casing and multiple individual battery cells housed within it. As a core component of new energy vehicles, the battery faces high requirements in terms of both safety and cycle life.

[0085] In order to install the battery on the electrical device, the electrical device can be equipped with a locking assembly. The locking assembly has a locking structure for installing the battery. The locking structure is mounted to the housing of the locking assembly via a mounting shaft. After the battery is installed on the electrical device, the battery is mounted on the locking structure, which causes the weight of the battery to be concentrated on the mounting shaft. The locking assembly is subjected to concentrated force, resulting in poor static load resistance and affecting the service life of the locking assembly.

[0086] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problems of poor static load resistance and short service life of the lock assembly, this application designs a lock assembly 100. After the battery 300 is assembled on the lock assembly 100, the weight of the battery 300 is distributed between the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30. The first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 share the force, which can reduce the difference in force distribution between the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 32, improve the static load resistance of the lock assembly 100, and help extend the service life of the lock assembly 100.

[0087] The battery 300 disclosed in this application embodiment can be used, but is not limited to, in electrical devices 200 such as vehicles, ships, or aircraft.

[0088] This application provides an electrical device 200 that uses a battery 300 as a power source. The electrical device 200 can be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, electric toy, power tool, electric vehicle, electric car, ship, spacecraft, etc. Among them, electric toys can include stationary or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric airplane toys, etc., and spacecraft can include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft, etc.

[0089] For ease of explanation, the following embodiments will be described using a vehicle as an example of an electrical device 200 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0090] The following is combined Figures 3-7 This application describes in detail the locking assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The locking assembly 100 can be installed on a vehicle, in which case the locking pin 301 is installed on the battery 300. Alternatively, the locking assembly 100 can be installed on the battery 300, in which case the locking pin 301 is installed on the vehicle. This application uses the example of the locking assembly 100 being installed on the vehicle and the locking pin 301 being installed on the battery 300 for description. The locking assembly 100 can be used to lock or unlock the battery 300, enabling the installation and removal of the battery 300. The locking assembly 100 can be installed on the vehicle, for example, on the chassis of the vehicle. The locking assembly 100 is used to assemble the battery 300, so that the battery 300 is fixed to the vehicle. When the locking assembly 100 locks the battery 300, the battery 300 is fixed to the vehicle. This can also be understood as the battery 300 being installed on the vehicle at this time. When the locking assembly 100 unlocks the battery 300, the battery 300 can be removed from the vehicle. However, this application is not limited to this. The lock assembly 100 can also be used to lock or unlock other components. This application uses the lock assembly 100 to lock or unlock the battery 300 as an example for illustration.

[0091] like Figures 3-7As shown, the lock assembly 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes: a mounting base 10, a first locking member 20, and a second locking member 30. The mounting base 10 includes a first locking wall surface 15, which has a locking pin through groove 13, which is configured to be recessed along a first direction. The first locking member 20 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 10 along a first rotating shaft 22. The first locking member 20 includes a first mating portion 25 and a locking groove 21. A plane passing through the axis of the first rotating shaft 22 and perpendicular to the first locking wall surface 15 is a first plane, which is parallel to the first direction. The second locking member 30 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 10 along a second rotating shaft 32. The second locking member 30 includes a second mating portion 34. A plane passing through the axis of the second rotating shaft 32 and perpendicular to the first locking wall surface 15 is configured as a second plane, which is parallel to the first direction. The locking assembly 100 is configured such that when the first locking member 20 is rotated to engage the first mating part 25 with the second mating part 34, the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30, and the overlapping area A of the locking groove 21 and the locking pin through groove 13 projected in a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall surface 15 is located between the first plane and the second plane.

[0092] Mounting bracket 10 can be fixedly installed on electrical device 200. For example, mounting bracket 10 can be fixedly installed on the vehicle's mounting frame, and mounting bracket 10 can be installed on electrical device 200 by bolts. Through the cooperation of first locking member 20 and second locking member 30, the battery 300 is fixedly installed on electrical device 200, and the battery 300 can also be unlocked to remove it.

[0093] Among them, when the lock component 100 is Figure 3 When placed in the indicated direction, the first direction refers to... Figure 3 In the Z direction, the side wall of the mounting base 10 is constructed as a first locking wall surface 15. A locking pin groove 13 is provided on the first locking wall surface 15. The locking pin groove 13 is recessed into the first locking wall surface 15 along the first direction. Figure 3 As shown, the locking pin groove 13 extends vertically and penetrates the first locking wall 15 in a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall 15. This application uses the lock assembly 100 as... Figure 3 The following explanation uses the orientation shown as an example.

[0094] The first locking member 20 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 10 via a first rotating shaft 22. The first rotating shaft 22 can be fixed to the mounting base 10. The first locking member 20 has a first pivot hole 23, through which the first rotating shaft 22 passes, thereby allowing the first locking member 20 to rotate about the central axis of the first rotating shaft 22. The first locking member 20 includes a first mating part 25 and a locking groove 21. The edge of the first locking member 20 may have a locking groove 21, which can be a notch structure provided on the edge of the first locking member 20. When the battery 300 is installed, the locking pin 301 on the battery 300 is fitted into the locking groove 21. The first plane passes through the axis of the first rotating shaft 22, is parallel to the axis of the first rotating shaft 22, and is perpendicular to the first locking wall surface 15. The first locking wall surface 15 is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction.

[0095] The second locking member 30 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 10 via a second rotating shaft 32. The second rotating shaft 32 can be fixed to the mounting base 10. The second rotating shaft 32 is parallel to the first rotating shaft 32. The second locking member 30 has a second pivot hole 33, through which the second rotating shaft 32 passes, thereby allowing the second locking member 30 to rotate around the central axis of the second rotating shaft 32, achieving the effect that the second locking member 30 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 10 along the second rotating shaft 32. The second locking member 30 includes a second mating part 34. The second plane passes through the axis of the second rotating shaft 32 and is perpendicular to the first locking wall surface 15. The second plane is parallel or substantially parallel to the first direction.

[0096] The locking assembly 100 is configured such that when the first locking member 20 rotates to engage the first mating part 25 with the second mating part 34, that is, when the first mating part 25 and the second mating part 34 are locked in place, the first mating part 25 and the second mating part 34 reliably stop each other, the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30, and the overlapping area A of the locking groove 21 and the locking pin through groove 13 projected in a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall surface 15 is located between the first plane and the second plane.

[0097] When installing the battery 300 onto the lock assembly 100, i.e. when it is necessary to lock the battery 300, the battery 300 is lifted so that it moves toward the lock assembly 100. The locking pin 301 of the battery 300 corresponds to the locking pin through groove 13. The locking pin 301 moves into the locking pin through groove 13 and into the locking groove 21. After the locking pin 301 contacts the first locking member 20, the locking pin 301 continues to move, driving the first locking member 20 to rotate. When the first locking member 20 rotates to the corresponding position, the first mating part 25 and the second mating part 34 engage in a stop-fitting relationship. The second mating part 34 supports the first mating part 25, and the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30. At this time, the first locking member 20 remains in the corresponding position, and the overlapping area A is located between the first plane and the second plane. The first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 simultaneously support the battery 300. The battery 300 is assembled onto the lock assembly 100, completing the installation of the battery 300.

[0098] When it is necessary to remove the battery 300 from the locking assembly 100, that is, when it is necessary to unlock the battery 300, rotate the second locking member 30 to separate the first mating part 25 from the second mating part 34. Under the weight of the battery 300 and the weight of the first locking member 20 itself, the first locking member 20 rotates toward the unlocking position. The battery 300 moves down under its own weight, causing the locking pin 301 of the battery 300 to move out of the locking groove 21, thereby realizing the removal of the battery 300. In this application, after the battery 300 is installed on the lock assembly 100, the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 simultaneously bear the weight of the battery 300, while the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 32 share the force. Compared with the prior art, the weight of the battery 300 is distributed among the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30, which can reduce the difference in force distribution between the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 32, improve the stress on the lock assembly 100, enhance the lock assembly 100's ability to withstand static loads, and reduce the probability that the lifespan of the lock assembly 100 will be affected by the faster breakage of one of the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 32, thus helping to extend the service life of the lock assembly 100.

[0099] In the above technical solution, by setting the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30, after the battery 300 is assembled on the lock assembly 100, the weight of the battery 300 is distributed among the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30. The first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 share the force, which can reduce the difference in force distribution between the first rotating shaft 22 and the second rotating shaft 32, improve the static load resistance of the lock assembly 100, and help extend the service life of the lock assembly 100.

[0100] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30, the area where the projection of the first locking member 20 and the locking pin through groove 13 coincides in the direction perpendicular to the first locking wall 15 is B. At least part of the area B is located on the side of the area A near the first rotating shaft 22.

[0101] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lock component 100 is Figure 3 When placed in the center direction, the direction perpendicular to the first locking wall 15 is Figure 3 In the Y direction, when the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30, along the direction perpendicular to the first locking wall 15, the area where the orthographic projection of the first locking member 20 coincides with the orthographic projection of the locking pin through groove 13 is B. Along the direction parallel to the first locking wall 15, at least a part of the area B is located on the side of the area A near the first rotating shaft 22.

[0102] In the above technical solution, when the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30, at least a part of region B is located on the side of region A near the first rotating shaft 22. When the first locking member 20 rotates to the locked state, the first locking member 20 slowly clamps the locking pin 301, reducing the jumping of the locking pin 301 after it is locked in the locking groove 21.

[0103] According to some embodiments of this application, the width of the locking pin groove 13 is greater than the width of the locking pin 301, which allows the locking pin 301 to smoothly enter the locking pin groove 13 and also reduces the resistance when the locking pin 301 enters the locking pin groove 13.

[0104] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the locking pin through groove 13 includes an open end 131 and a terminal end 132. The edge of the first locking member 20 is recessed towards the center in a direction parallel to the first locking wall surface 15 to form a locking groove 21. The first locking member 20 includes a first extension arm 26 and a second extension arm 27 located on both sides of the locking groove 21. The first extension arm 26 is closer to the terminal end 132 than the second extension arm 27. The second extension arm 27 is configured to be at least partially located between the open end 131 and the terminal end 132 when the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30.

[0105] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the lock component 100 is... Figure 3 When placed in the direction shown, along Figure 3 In the Z direction, the lower end of the locking pin through groove 13 is the open end 131, and the upper end of the locking pin through groove 13 is the terminating end 132. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the first extension arm 26 and the second extension arm 27 are located on both sides of the locking groove 21, along... Figure 3In the Z direction, the first extension arm 26 is closer to the termination end 132 than the second extension arm 27. When the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30, along... Figure 3 In the Z direction, at least a portion of the second extension arm 27 is located between the open end 131 and the terminated end 132, and along a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall surface 15, the orthographic projection of the second extension arm 27 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the locking pin through groove 13. By having at least a portion of the second extension arm 27 located between the open end 131 and the terminated end 132 when the first locking member 20 is engaged by the second locking member 30, the second extension arm 27 can carry the locking pin 301.

[0106] In the above technical solution, when the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30, at least a portion of the second extension arm 27 is located between the open end 131 and the end 132, so that the second extension arm 27 can carry the locking pin 301.

[0107] According to some embodiments of this application, the first locking member 20 is configured to be rotatable between a first locked position and a first unlocked position. In the first locked position (i.e., the "corresponding position" in the above embodiments), the first locking member 20 is engaged by the second locking member 30. In the first unlocked position, the first locking member 20 disengages from the engaging engagement with the second locking member 30.

[0108] The first locking member 20 has a first unlocked position and a first locked position relative to the mounting base 10, and the first locking member 20 is adapted to rotate around the first rotating shaft 22 to the first unlocked position or the first locked position. It should be noted that, as... Figure 6 As shown, the "first unlocked position" refers to the position where the locking pin 301 of the battery 300 can be installed in the locking groove 21 when the battery 300 is installed, and the locking pin 301 of the battery 300 can also be moved out of the locking groove 21 when the battery 300 is removed. The "first locked position" refers to the position where the locking pin 301 of the battery 300 is installed in the locking groove 21, at which time the battery 300 is installed in the locking assembly 100. It can also be understood as the battery 300 being locked to the locking assembly 100 in the "first locked position".

[0109] The first locking member 20 can initially be located in the first unlocked position. When the battery 300 is installed on the lock assembly 100, i.e. when it is necessary to lock the battery 300, the battery 300 is lifted so that it moves toward the lock assembly 100. The locking pin 301 of the battery 300 corresponds to the locking groove 21. After the locking pin 301 moves into the locking groove 21 and contacts the first locking member 20, the locking pin 301 continues to move, driving the first locking member 20 to rotate from the first unlocked position toward the first locked position. When the first locking member 20 rotates to the first locked position, the second locking member 30 supports the first locking member 20, and the first locking member 20 is locked by the second locking member 30, so that the first locking member 20 is kept in the first locked position. At this time, the first locking member 20 supports the battery 300, and the battery 300 is assembled into the lock assembly 100, completing the installation of the battery 300. When it is necessary to remove the battery 300 from the lock assembly 100, i.e., to unlock the battery 300, the second locking member 3 is rotated, causing the first locking member 20 to disengage from its locking engagement with the second locking member 30. Under the weight of the battery 300 and the first locking member 20 itself, the first locking member 20 rotates from the first locked position to the first unlocked position. The battery 300 moves downward under its own weight, causing the locking pin 301 of the battery 300 to move out of the locking groove 21, thus achieving the removal of the battery 300. The fact that the first locking member 20 can rotate between the first locked position and the first unlocked position facilitates the locking of the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30, and also facilitates the disengagement of the first locking member 20 from the locking engagement of the second locking member 30.

[0110] In the above technical solution, the first locking member 20 is rotatable between the first locking position and the first unlocking position, which facilitates the locking of the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30, and also facilitates the first locking member 20 to disengage from the locking of the second locking member 30.

[0111] According to some embodiments of this application, when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, the projection of the second extension arm 27 is misaligned with the projection of the locking pin through groove 13 in a direction perpendicular to the first locking wall 15.

[0112] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, along the direction perpendicular to the first locking wall surface 15, i.e. Figure 3In the Y direction, the orthographic projection of the second extension arm 27 is offset from the orthographic projection of the locking pin groove 13. For example, along the direction parallel to the first locking wall 15, the second extension arm 27 is located on the side of the locking pin groove 13 closer to the first rotating shaft 22. When the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, along the direction perpendicular to the first locking wall 15, the second extension arm 27 is completely away from the projection range of the locking pin groove 13. When the battery 300 is installed into the lock assembly 100, the second extension arm 27 will not interfere with the locking pin 301 that needs to enter the locking pin groove 13, so that the locking pin 301 can be smoothly moved into the locking groove 21.

[0113] In the above technical solution, when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocking position, the projection of the second extension arm 27 is misaligned with the projection of the locking pin through groove 13, so that the locking pin 301 can be moved into the locking pin through groove 13 and the battery 300 can be smoothly installed in the lock assembly 100.

[0114] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first mating part 25 is located on the first extension arm 26.

[0115] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first mating part 25 is disposed on the first extension arm 26. When the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, the second mating part 34 of the second locking member 30 abuts against the first mating part 25, thereby locking the first locking member 20.

[0116] In the above technical solution, by setting the first mating part 25 on the first extension arm 26, when the first locking member 20 is in the first locking position, the second locking member 30 stops the first locking member 20 by abutting against the first extension arm 26.

[0117] According to some embodiments of this application, a second locking member 30 is disposed on the mounting base 10. The second locking member 30 can be disposed adjacent to the first locking member 20. The second locking member 30 can support the first locking member 20, or it can not support the first locking member 20. When the second locking member 30 supports the first locking member 20, the first locking member 20 is located in the first locking position. Under the support of the second locking member 30, the first locking member 20 is limited to the first locking position, locking the locking pin 301 on the battery 300 onto the locking assembly 100, thereby realizing the installation of the battery 300. When it is necessary to remove the battery 300 from the locking assembly 100, the second locking member 30 is controlled to not support the first locking member 20, and the first locking member 20 rotates from the first locking position to the first unlocking position. The locking pin 301 of the battery 300 moves out of the locking groove 21, thereby realizing the removal of the battery 300.

[0118] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an installation space 12 can be formed within the mounting base 10, and both the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 can be disposed within the installation space 12. Both the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 can be disposed on the first locking wall 15 of the installation space 12. When the lock assembly 100 is in... Figure 3 When placed in the center, the bottom wall 14 of the mounting base 10 can form a locking pin through groove 13. The locking pin through groove 13 on the bottom wall 14 is connected to the mounting space 12, and the locking pin through groove 13 on the bottom wall 14 is connected to the locking pin through groove 13 on the first locking wall surface 15. The locking pin through groove 13 on the first locking wall surface 15 is connected to the mounting space 12. When the battery 300 is installed, the locking pin 301 of the battery 300 can be moved into the mounting space 12 through the locking pin through groove 13 to cooperate with the first locking member 20 for assembly.

[0119] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second locking member 30 has a second unlocking position and a second locking position relative to the mounting base 10. In the direction perpendicular to the first locking wall 15, when the second locking member 30 is in the second unlocking position, it is offset from the maximum rotation range of the first locking member 20. When the second locking member 30 is in the second locking position, the first mating part 25 and the second mating part 34 cooperate to make the first locking member 20 be stopped by the second locking member 30.

[0120] The second locking member 30 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 10. The second locking member 30 has a second unlocked position and a second locked position relative to the mounting base 10. The second locking member 30 can rotate relative to the mounting base 10 to either the second unlocked position or the second locked position. When the second locking member 30 is in the second unlocked position, the maximum rotation range of the second locking member 30 is offset from that of the first locking member 20, and neither the second locking member 30 nor the first locking member 20 is engaged. When the second locking member 30 is in the second locked position, the first mating part 25 and the second mating part 34 abut and engage, thereby engaging the first locking member 20 with the second locking member 30. It should be noted that the "second unlocked position" refers to the position relative to the mounting base 10 when the second locking member 30 is not engaging the first locking member 20, and the "second locked position" refers to the position relative to the mounting base 10 when the second locking member 30 engages the first locking member 20.

[0121] When the battery 300 needs to be installed in the lock assembly 100, the second locking member 30 can be rotated to the second unlocked position. When the first locking member 20 rotates to the first locked position, the second locking member 30 rotates to the second locked position. At this time, the first mating part 25 and the second mating part 34 abut and lock, locking the battery 300 in the lock assembly 100. When the battery 300 needs to be removed, the second locking member 30 is rotated to the second unlocked position. At this time, the first mating part 25 and the second mating part 34 separate, and the battery 300 can be removed. It should be noted that a drive structure can be provided to drive the movement of the second locking member 30. The specific structure and arrangement of the drive structure are not specifically limited here. By rotatably mounting the second locking member 30 on the mounting base 10, it is easy for the second locking member 30 to rotate to the second unlocked position or the second locked position, so that the lock assembly 100 can meet the performance requirements.

[0122] In the above technical solution, the second locking member 30 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 10. The second locking member 30 can rotate to the second unlock position and the second locking position. By rotating the second locking member 30 between the second unlock position and the second locking position, it is convenient for the second locking member 30 to engage the first locking member 20, and it is also convenient for the first locking member 20 to disengage from the engagement of the second locking member 30, so that the lock assembly 100 can meet the performance requirements.

[0123] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second locking member 30 is adapted to rotate about the second pivot 32 to the second unlock position or the second locking position.

[0124] As one embodiment, the first locking member 20 can be disposed on the first locking wall surface 15 via the first rotating shaft 22, and the second locking member 30 can be disposed on the first locking wall surface 15 via the second rotating shaft 32. The second locking member 30 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 10, facilitating rotation of the second locking member 30 to a second unlocked position or a second locked position, and facilitating control over whether the second locking member 30 engages the first locking member 20, thereby simplifying the structure of the lock assembly 100.

[0125] It should be noted that, as Figure 6 As shown, when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, the second locking member 30 is in the second unlocked position, and when the first locking member 20 is in the first locked position, the second locking member 30 is in the second locked position.

[0126] In the above technical solution, the second locking member 30 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 10, which allows the second locking member 30 to rotate to the second unlocking position or the second locking position, making it easier to control whether the second locking member 30 jams the first locking member 20, and helping to simplify the structure of the lock assembly 100.

[0127] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second locking member 30 has one of a guide post 31 and an arc-shaped guide hole 11, and the mounting base 10 has the other of a guide post 31 and a guide hole 11. The guide post 31 is mounted in the guide hole 11, which surrounds the second rotating shaft 32.

[0128] The second locking member 30 is provided with one of a guide post 31 and an arc-shaped guide hole 11, and the mounting base 10 is provided with the other of the guide post 31 and guide hole 11. That is, when the second locking member 30 is provided with a guide post 31, the mounting base 10 is provided with a guide hole 11; when the second locking member 30 is provided with a guide hole 11, the mounting base 10 is provided with a guide post 31. Figure 4 As shown, this application uses an example where the second locking member 30 is provided with a guide post 31 and the mounting base 10 is provided with a guide hole 11. The guide hole 11 can be configured as an arc-shaped structure, and the guide hole 11 is arranged around the second rotating shaft 32 in the circumferential direction. During the rotation of the second locking member 30 around the central axis of the second rotating shaft 32, the guide post 31 moves along the guide hole 11 within the guide hole 11. Under the guiding cooperation of the guide post 31 and the guide hole 11, the second locking member 30 can only rotate around the second rotating shaft 32, which can reduce the risk of the second locking member 30 deviating, thereby allowing the second locking member 30 to rotate smoothly to the second unlocked position or the second locked position.

[0129] In the above technical solution, through the guiding cooperation of the guide post 31 and the guide hole 11, during the rotation of the second locking member 30 around the central axis of the second rotating shaft 32, the guide post 31 moves along the guide hole 11 within the guide hole 11. Under the guiding cooperation of the guide post 31 and the guide hole 11, the second locking member 30 can only rotate around the second rotating shaft 32, which can reduce the risk of the second locking member 30 deviating, thereby allowing the second locking member 30 to rotate smoothly to the second unlocking position or the second locking position.

[0130] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lock assembly 100 may further include: a first reset member 40, which is connected between the mounting base 10 and the second locking member 30, and is used to drive the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second unlocked position to the second locked position.

[0131] Among them, such as Figure 4As shown, the first reset member 40 can be configured as an elastic member, but this application is not limited to this. The first reset member 40 can also be configured as other types of reset members, as long as it can drive the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second unlocked position to the second locked position. This application uses the first reset member 40 configured as an elastic member as an example for illustration. For example, the first reset member 40 can be configured as a spring or a torsion spring. This application uses the first reset member 40 configured as a torsion spring as an example for illustration. The first reset member 40 can be sleeved on the second rotating shaft 32, and one end of the first reset member 40 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 10, and the other end of the first reset member 40 is connected to the second locking member 30. When the second locking member 30 rotates from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, the first reset member 40 is stretched.

[0132] When the battery 300 is not installed on the lock assembly 100, the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, and the second locking member 30 is in the second unlocked position. The first locking member 20 can abut against the second locking member 30, keeping the second locking member 30 in the second unlocked position. When the battery 300 is installed on the lock assembly 100, the locking pin 301 drives the first locking member 20 to rotate from the first unlocked position toward the first locked position. When the first locking member 20 rotates to the first locked position, the second locking member 30 corresponds to the locking groove 21. Under the pulling force of the first reset member 40, the second locking member 30 rotates from the second unlocked position to the second locked position. The second locking member 30 locks the first locking member 20, keeping the first locking member 20 in the first locked position. The battery 300 is then assembled into the lock assembly 100, completing the installation of the battery 300. When the battery 300 needs to be removed from the lock assembly 100, the second locking member 30 is rotated from the second locked position to the second unlocked position. Under the weight of the battery 300 and the weight of the first locking member 20 itself, the first locking member 20 is rotated from the first locked position to the first unlocked position, thus removing the battery 300. A first reset member 40 is connected between the mounting base 10 and the second locking member 30, enabling the first reset member 40 to automatically drive the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second unlocked position to the second locked position. This achieves automatic locking of the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20, thereby automatically locking the lock assembly 100.

[0133] In the above technical solution, by connecting the first reset member 40 between the mounting base 10 and the second locking member 30, the first reset member 40 can automatically drive the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second unlocking position to the second locking position, thereby realizing the automatic locking of the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20, and thus realizing the automatic locking effect of the lock assembly 100.

[0134] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4As shown, when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, its outer peripheral wall abuts against the second locking member 30, keeping the second locking member 30 in the second unlocked position. At this time, the first reset member 40 is stretched. During the rotation of the first locking member 20 from the first unlocked position to the first locked position, its outer peripheral wall always abuts against the second locking member 30, keeping the second locking member 30 in the second unlocked position. After the first locking member 20 rotates to the first locked position, the second locking member 30 is opposite to the locking groove 21, and the outer peripheral wall of the first locking member 20 is misaligned with the second locking member 30. The first reset member 40 drives the second locking member 30 to rotate to the second locked position, and the second locking member 30 locks the first locking member 20, thus locking the lock assembly 100 and achieving the automatic locking effect of the lock assembly 100.

[0135] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lock assembly 100 may further include a drive assembly mounted on the mounting base 10, the drive assembly being configured to drive the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second locked position to the second unlocked position.

[0136] The drive component can be disposed within the mounting space 12 of the mounting base 10. The drive component can drive the second locking member 30 from the second locked position to the second unlocked position; for example, the drive component can drive the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second locked position to the second unlocked position. The specific structure of the drive component can be reasonably configured according to actual conditions, as long as the drive component can drive the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second locked position to the second unlocked position. The drive component can be constructed as the drive structure in the above embodiment. By setting the drive component, the effect of driving the second locking member 30 from the second locked position to the second unlocked position can be achieved, thus realizing the automatic unlocking effect of the lock component 100.

[0137] In the above technical solution, by setting a driving component, the second locking member 30 can be driven to move from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, thereby achieving the automatic unlocking effect of the lock component 100.

[0138] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive assembly may include a drive arm 51 and a drive rod 52. The drive arm 51 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 10 via a third rotating shaft 56. The drive rod 52 is connected to the drive arm 51 and is used to drive the drive arm 51 to rotate so as to drive the second locking member 30 to move from the second locking position to the second unlocking position.

[0139] The drive arm 51 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 10 via a third rotating shaft 56. The third rotating shaft 56 can be fixed to the mounting base 10, for example, it can be fixed to the first locking wall 15. The drive arm 51 can rotate around the central axis of the third rotating shaft 56, which can be parallel to the second rotating shaft 32. The drive arm 51 has a third pivot hole 511 through which the third rotating shaft 56 passes, thus achieving the effect of the drive arm 51 rotating around the central axis of the third rotating shaft 56. When the second locking member 30 engages the first locking member 20 in the second locking position to lock the lock assembly 100, and it is necessary to unlock the lock assembly 100, the drive arm 51 is rotated to push the second locking member 30 from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, thereby unlocking the lock assembly 100.

[0140] In the above technical solution, by setting the drive arm 51, when it is necessary to unlock the lock assembly 100, the drive arm 51 is rotated to push the second locking member 30 from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, thereby achieving the effect of unlocking the lock assembly 100.

[0141] The drive rod 52 can be disposed within the mounting space 12 of the mounting base 10. The drive rod 52 can move relative to the mounting base 10. The drive rod 52 can be connected to the drive arm 51 via transmission, or the drive rod 52 can be directly connected to the drive arm 51. During the movement of the drive rod 52, it can drive the drive arm 51 to rotate, thereby causing the drive arm 51 to drive the second locking member 30 to move from the second locked position to the second unlocked position. In some embodiments, the bottom wall 14 of the mounting base 10 can be provided with a clearance hole, which is disposed opposite to the drive rod 52. When it is necessary to unlock the lock assembly 100, the unlocking rod extends into the mounting space 12 through the clearance hole. The unlocking rod drives the drive rod 52 to move, causing the drive rod 52 to drive the drive arm 51 to rotate. The drive arm 51 then drives the second locking member 30 to move from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, thereby achieving the effect of unlocking the lock assembly 100.

[0142] In the above technical solution, by setting a drive rod 52, the drive rod 52 can drive the drive arm 51 to rotate during the movement, thereby driving the second locking member 30 to move from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, thus achieving the effect of unlocking the lock assembly 100.

[0143] According to some embodiments of this application, the drive arm 51 is configured to rotate between a third unlock position and a third locking position, and the drive arm 51 is configured to drive the second locking member to move from the second locking position to the second unlock position when rotating from the third locking position to the third unlock position.

[0144] When the second locking member 30 locks the first locking member 20 in the second locking position, thus locking the lock assembly 100, and it is necessary to unlock the lock assembly 100, the drive arm 51 is rotated from the third locking position to the third unlocking position. The drive arm 51 pushes the second locking member 30 from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, thereby unlocking the lock assembly 100.

[0145] In the above technical solution, the position of the second lock 30 can be changed by driving the drive arm 51 between the third unlock position and the third lock position, thereby changing the position of the first locking member 20 and realizing the unlocking or locking of the lock assembly 100.

[0146] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive arm 51 can drive the second locking member 30 from the second locked position to the second unlocked position via the guide post 31. Specifically, the drive arm 51 and the guide post 31 are arranged opposite each other. When it is necessary to unlock the lock assembly 100, the drive arm 51 is rotated, causing the drive arm 51 to rotate from the third locked position to the third unlocked position. This causes the drive arm 51 to push the guide post 31 to move along the guide hole 11. During the movement of the guide post 31, the second locking member 30 is driven to move from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, thereby unlocking the lock assembly 100.

[0147] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lock assembly 100 may further include a second reset member 71, which is connected between the mounting base 10 and the drive arm 51, and is used to move from the third unlock position to the third lock position.

[0148] The second reset member 71 can be configured as an elastic member, but this application is not limited to this. The second reset member 71 can also be configured as other types of reset members, as long as it can drive the drive arm 51 to rotate from the third unlock position to the third lock position. Even if the drive arm 51 is reset, this application will use the second reset member 71 configured as an elastic member as an example for explanation. For example, the second reset member 71 can be configured as a spring or a torsion spring. This application will use the second reset member 71 configured as a torsion spring as an example for explanation.

[0149] The second reset member 71 can be sleeved on the third rotating shaft 56, with one end of the second reset member 71 fixedly connected to the mounting base 10 and the other end of the second reset member 71 connected to the drive arm 51. When the drive arm 51 rotates to drive the second locking member 30 from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, the second reset member 71 is stretched. After the unlocking rod separates from the drive rod 52, the drive arm 51 is driven to rotate from the third unlocked position to the third locked position under the force of the second reset member 71, thus resetting the drive arm 51.

[0150] In the above technical solution, by setting the second reset member 71, after the drive arm 51 moves to the third unlock position and the lock assembly 100 is converted to the unlock state, the drive arm 51 can return to the third locking position to wait for the next locking action.

[0151] According to some embodiments of this application, the drive rod 52 is configured to move between a fourth unlock position and a fourth locking position, and the drive rod 52 is configured to drive the drive arm 51 to move from a third locking position to a third unlock position when moving from the fourth locking position to the fourth unlock position.

[0152] When the lock assembly 100 is in a locked state, and it is necessary to unlock the lock assembly 100, the drive rod 52 is moved from the fourth locked position to the fourth unlocked position. During the process of the drive rod 52 moving from the fourth locked position to the fourth unlocked position, the drive arm 51 is rotated from the third locked position to the third unlocked position. During the rotation of the drive arm 51, the second locking member 30 can be driven to rotate from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, thereby unlocking the first locking member 20 and thus unlocking the lock assembly 100.

[0153] In the above technical solution, the position of the drive arm 51 can be changed between the third locking position and the third unlocking position by changing the position of the drive rod 52 between the fourth unlocking position and the fourth locking position. The second locking member 30 can be moved to the unlocked state by the drive rod 52 driving the drive arm 51 to move. The first locking member 20 can then be unlocked.

[0154] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive rod 52 is movably disposed on the mounting base 10. The drive rod 52 has one of a mounting post 53 and a strip hole 54. The drive arm 51 has the other of a mounting post 53 and a strip hole 54. The mounting post 53 is mounted in the strip hole 54.

[0155] The drive rod 52 is mounted on the mounting base 10 and is movable relative to the mounting base 10. The drive rod 52 can be directly and movably mounted on the mounting base 10, or it can be movably mounted on the mounting base 10 via other components. When the drive rod 52 has a mounting post 53, the drive arm 51 has a slotted hole 54. This application uses the example of the drive rod 52 having a mounting post 53 and the drive arm 51 having a slotted hole 54 for illustration. The mounting post 53 is installed within the slotted hole 54, which can be an elongated slotted hole 54. The mounting post 53 can move relative to the drive arm 51 along the slotted hole 54. Figure 4 As shown, when the lock component 100 is... Figure 4When placed in the center position, the drive rod 52 is movable relative to the mounting base 10 along the height direction of the lock assembly 100. The drive rod 52 drives the drive arm 51 to rotate by moving along the height direction of the lock assembly 100. By providing the mounting post 53 and the slotted hole 54, the drive rod 52 and the drive arm 51 can be connected. When the drive rod 52 drives the drive arm 51 to rotate along the height direction of the lock assembly 100, the mounting post 53 can move along the slotted hole 54, which can reduce the occurrence of jamming at the connection between the drive rod 52 and the drive arm 51, and make the drive rod 52 move smoothly to drive the drive arm 51 to rotate.

[0156] In the above technical solution, by setting the mounting post 53 and the strip hole 54, the connection between the drive rod 52 and the drive arm 51 can be realized. When the drive rod 52 drives the drive arm 51 to rotate along the height direction of the lock assembly 100, the mounting post 53 can move along the strip hole 54, which can reduce the occurrence of jamming at the connection between the drive rod 52 and the drive arm 51, and make the drive rod 52 move smoothly to drive the drive arm 51 to rotate.

[0157] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive arm 51 may include a first sub-arm 512 and a second sub-arm 513 connected together, forming an angle between them. A third pivot hole 511 may be formed at the connection between the first sub-arm 512 and the second sub-arm 513. When the drive arm 51 drives the second locking member 30 to rotate, the first sub-arm 512 can abut against the second rotating shaft 32 to drive the second locking member 30 to rotate. The second sub-arm 513 has a strip-shaped hole 54 and is assembled with the drive rod 52. By forming an angle between the first sub-arm 512 and the second sub-arm 513, when the drive rod 52 drives the drive arm 51 to rotate, the drive rod 52 moves only slightly, which is enough to make the first sub-arm 512 push the second rotating shaft 32 to move, facilitating the first sub-arm 512 to push the second rotating shaft 32 to move along the guide hole 11.

[0158] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the lock assembly 100 may further include: a guide sleeve 60, which is fixed to the mounting base 10, and a drive rod 52 passing through the guide sleeve 60 so that the drive rod 52 can move axially along the guide sleeve 60.

[0159] The guide sleeve 60 can be disposed within the mounting space 12 of the mounting base 10. The guide sleeve 60 can be fixed to the mounting base 10 by bolts. For example, the guide sleeve 60 can be fixed to the bottom wall 14 of the mounting base 10 by bolts. When the locking assembly 100 is in the position of... Figure 4When placed in the center direction, the lower end of the guide sleeve 60 is open, and the guide sleeve 60 is positioned opposite the clearance hole. The guide sleeve 60 can cover the clearance hole. The guide sleeve 60 is fitted on the outside of the drive rod 52, and the drive rod 52 can abut against the inner peripheral wall of the guide sleeve 60. The axial direction of the guide sleeve 60 is consistent with the height direction of the lock assembly 100. When the drive rod 52 moves along the axial direction of the guide sleeve 60, the guide sleeve 60 can guide the movement of the drive rod 52 in the height direction of the lock assembly 100 by abutting against the inner peripheral wall of the guide sleeve 60, so that the drive rod 52 moves in the height direction of the lock assembly 100, reducing the risk of the drive rod 52 tilting or deviating, thereby enabling the lock assembly 100 to unlock smoothly. Furthermore, by fitting the guide sleeve 60 onto the drive rod 52, the dustproof effect of the lock assembly 100 can be improved, reducing the risk of dust and other substances entering the installation space 12 through the clearance hole.

[0160] In the above technical solution, through the guiding cooperation of the guide sleeve 60 and the drive rod 52, when the position of the drive rod 52 changes between the fourth unlocking position and the fourth locking position, the guide sleeve 60 can guide the movement of the drive rod 52 in the height direction of the lock assembly 100, so that the drive rod 52 moves in the height direction of the lock assembly 100, reducing the risk of the drive rod 52 tilting, and also reducing the risk of the drive rod 52 deviating, thereby enabling the lock assembly 100 to unlock smoothly. In addition, by fitting the guide sleeve 60 onto the drive rod 52, the dustproof effect of the lock assembly 100 can be improved, reducing the risk of dust and other substances entering the installation space 12 through the clearance hole.

[0161] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the drive rod 52 is configured to move axially along the guide sleeve 60 between a fourth unlock position and a fourth locking position. The lock assembly 100 may also include a third reset member 70, which is disposed within the guide sleeve 60 and is used to drive the drive rod 52 from the fourth unlock position to the fourth locking position.

[0162] The third reset element 70 is disposed within the guide sleeve 60. The third reset element 70 can drive the drive rod 52 to reset, that is, the third reset element 70 can drive the drive rod 52 to rotate from the fourth unlocked position to the fourth locked position. Figure 7 As shown, when the lock component 100 is... Figure 7When the lock assembly 100 is placed in the center position, and it is necessary to drive the second locking member 30 to rotate to the second unlocking position (i.e., to drive the lock assembly 100 to unlock), the drive rod 52 rotates from the fourth locking position to the fourth unlocking position, i.e., the drive rod 52 moves upward. The drive rod 52 drives the drive arm 51 to rotate toward the second rotating shaft 32, and the drive arm 51 drives the second locking member 30 to rotate to the second unlocking position, thereby unlocking the lock assembly 100. Because a third reset member 70 is provided, after the lock assembly 100 is unlocked, the third reset member 70 drives the drive rod 52 to rotate from the fourth unlocking position to the fourth locking position, i.e., the third reset member 70 drives the drive rod 52 to move downward, thus resetting the drive rod 52. During the resetting process, the drive rod 52 can drive the drive arm 51 to rotate away from the second rotating shaft 32, thereby resetting the drive arm 51. It should be noted that the third reset member 70 can be a cylinder or a linear motor, but this application is not limited to these. The third reset member 70 can also be other types of reset members, as long as they can drive the drive rod 52 to reset.

[0163] In the above technical solution, by setting the third reset member 70, after the lock assembly 100 is unlocked, the third reset member 70 drives the drive rod 52 to rotate from the fourth locked position to the fourth unlocked position, thereby resetting the drive rod 52. During the resetting process of the drive rod 52, the drive rod 52 can drive the drive arm 51 to rotate in a direction away from the second rotating shaft 32, thereby resetting the drive arm 51.

[0164] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the third reset member 70 is an elastic member. One end of the drive rod 52 is located inside the guide sleeve 60 and has a stop flange 55. The guide sleeve 60 has a stop wall 61 opposite to the stop flange 55. The drive rod 52 passes through the stop wall 61. The third reset member 70 is located between the stop wall 61 and the stop flange 55.

[0165] The third reset member 70 can be configured as an elastic element, such as a spring or a torsion spring. This application uses a spring as an example for illustration. One end of the drive rod 52 is located inside the guide sleeve 60. The end of the drive rod 52 inside the guide sleeve 60 can have a stop flange 55. The upper end of the guide sleeve 60 can have a stop wall 61 opposite to the stop flange 55. The drive rod 52 passes through the stop wall 61. The third reset member 70 is located between the stop wall 61 and the stop flange 55. The third reset member 70 can be sleeved on the drive rod 52. One end of the third reset member 70 can abut against the stop wall 61, and the other end of the third reset member 70 can abut against the stop flange 55.

[0166] When it is necessary to drive the second locking member 30 from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, that is, when it is necessary to drive the lock assembly 100 to unlock, the drive rod 52 moves upward, the third reset member 70 is compressed and has an elastic force, and at the same time the drive rod 52 drives the drive arm 51 to rotate toward the second rotating shaft 32, and the drive arm 51 drives the second locking member 30 to rotate to the second unlocked position, thereby unlocking the lock assembly 100. After the lock assembly 100 is unlocked, because the third reset member 70 is compressed and has an elastic force, the third reset member 70 drives the drive rod 52 to move downward, thereby resetting the drive rod 52. During the resetting process, the drive rod 52 can drive the drive arm 51 to rotate away from the second rotating shaft 32, thereby resetting the drive arm 51. By setting the third reset member 70 as an elastic member, the structure of the third reset member 70 can be simplified, and the effect of automatically driving the drive rod 52 to reset can also be achieved, so that the drive rod 52 can return to its original position.

[0167] In the above technical solution, by setting the third reset member 70 as an elastic member, the structure of the third reset member 70 can be simplified, the manufacturing cost of the lock assembly 100 can be reduced, and the effect of automatically driving the drive rod 52 to reset can be achieved, allowing the drive rod 52 to return to its original position. In addition, by setting the third reset member 70 between the stop wall 61 and the stop flange 55, when the lock assembly 100 is unlocked, the third reset member 70 can be compressed, thereby allowing the drive rod 52 to reset smoothly.

[0168] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second reset member 71 is connected between the mounting base 10 and the drive arm 51 and is sleeved on the outside of the third rotating shaft 56. The second reset member 71 is used to drive the drive arm 51 to rotate from the third locking position to the third locking position.

[0169] The second reset member 71 can be configured as an elastic member, but this application is not limited to this. The second reset member 71 can also be configured as other types of reset members, as long as it can drive the drive arm 51 to rotate in a direction away from the guide post 31. Even if the drive arm 51 is reset, this application will use the example of the second reset member 71 being configured as an elastic member for explanation. For example, the second reset member 71 can be configured as a spring or a torsion spring. This application will use the example of the second reset member 71 being configured as a torsion spring for explanation.

[0170] The second reset member 71 can be sleeved on the third rotating shaft 56, with one end of the second reset member 71 fixedly connected to the mounting base 10 and the other end of the second reset member 71 connected to the drive arm 51. When the drive arm 51 rotates to drive the second locking member 30 from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, the second reset member 71 is stretched. After the unlocking rod separates from the drive rod 52, the drive arm 51 is driven to rotate to the initial position under the force of the second reset member 71, thus resetting the drive arm 51. During the resetting process, the drive arm 51 can drive the drive rod 52 to reset, thereby allowing the drive rod 52 to reset smoothly.

[0171] In the above technical solution, by setting a second reset member 71, when the drive arm 51 rotates and drives the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, the second reset member 71 is stretched. After the unlocking rod separates from the drive rod 52, the drive arm 51 is driven to rotate to the initial position under the force of the second reset member 71, so that the drive arm 51 is reset. During the reset process of the drive arm 51, the drive rod 52 can be driven to reset, so that the drive rod 52 can be reset smoothly.

[0172] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lock assembly 100 may further include a fourth reset member 72, which is connected between the mounting base 10 and the first locking member 20. The fourth reset member 72 is used to drive the first locking member 20 to rotate from the first locked position to the first unlocked position.

[0173] The fourth reset member 72 can be configured as an elastic member, but this application is not limited to this. The fourth reset member 72 can also be configured as other types of reset members, as long as it can drive the first locking member 20 to rotate from the first locking position to the first unlocking position. This application uses the fourth reset member 72 configured as an elastic member as an example for illustration. For example, the fourth reset member 72 can be configured as a spring or a torsion spring. This application uses the fourth reset member 72 configured as a torsion spring as an example for illustration.

[0174] The fourth reset member 72 can be sleeved on the first rotating shaft 22, with one end of the fourth reset member 72 fixedly connected to the mounting base 10 and the other end connected to the first locking member 20. When the first locking member 20 rotates from the first unlocked position to the first locked position, the fourth reset member 72 is stretched. After the second locking member 30 rotates from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, the force of the fourth reset member 72 can drive the first locking member 20 to rotate from the first locked position to the first unlocked position, so that the first locking member 20 can stably return to its original position.

[0175] In the above technical solution, by setting a fourth reset member 72, the fourth reset member 72 can drive the first locking member 20 to rotate from the first locking position to the first unlocking position, so that the first locking member 20 can stably return to its original position, thereby enabling the lock assembly 100 to be unlocked smoothly.

[0176] It should be noted that the lock assembly 100 may be provided with a first reset member 40, a third reset member 70, a second reset member 71 and a fourth reset member 72 at the same time, or the lock assembly 100 may be provided with at least one of the first reset member 40, the third reset member 70, the second reset member 71 and the fourth reset member 72.

[0177] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first extension arm 26 also includes a first arc surface 24 centered on the first pivot 22, which faces the second locking member 30 when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position.

[0178] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 are arranged adjacent to each other. The outer peripheral wall of the first extension arm 26 has a first arc surface 24 suitable for abutting against the second locking member 30. When the second locking member 30 is in the second unlocked position, it abuts against the first arc surface 24. During the rotation of the first locking member 20 from the first locked position to the first unlocked position, as... Figure 4 As shown, during the clockwise rotation of the first locking member 20 from the first locked position to the first unlocked position, the second locking member 30 abuts against the first arc surface 24, and when the first locking member 20 rotates to the first unlocked position, the second locking member 30 still abuts against the first arc surface 24, thus maintaining the second locking member 30 in the second unlocked position. During the rotation of the first locking member 20 from the first unlocked position to the first locked position, as... Figure 6 As shown, during the counterclockwise rotation of the first locking member 20 from the first unlocking position to the first locking position, the second locking member 30 abuts against the first arc surface 24, keeping the second locking member 30 in the second unlocking position. When the first locking member 20 rotates to the first locking position, the second locking member 30 is opposite to the locking groove 21, and the first arc surface 24 of the first locking member 20 is misaligned with the second locking member 30. The first reset member 40 drives the second locking member 30 to rotate to the second locking position, and the second locking member 30 locks the first locking member 20, thereby locking the lock assembly 100 and achieving the automatic locking effect of the lock assembly 100.

[0179] It should be noted that if the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 does not always pass through the rotation center of the first locking member 20, the pressure of the second locking member 30 on the first locking member 20 will have a component force. This component force will restrict the first locking member 20 from rotating to the first unlocking position, which may cause the first locking member 20 to fail to return to its original position.

[0180] In this application, since the outer peripheral wall of the first locking member 20 has a first arc surface 24, during the unlocking process of the lock assembly 100, the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member 20. It can also be understood that the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 always passes through the central axis of the first rotating shaft 22. This ensures that the pressure of the second locking member 30 on the first locking member 20 always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member 20, without any additional force interfering with the unlocking process. The fourth reset member 72 only needs to overcome the frictional force of the movement of the first locking member 20, so that the first locking member 20 can be stably rotated from the first locked position to the first unlocked position, so that the first locking member 20 returns to its original position. Furthermore, during the unlocking process of the lock assembly 100, the second locking member 30 abuts against the first arc surface 24, so that the position of the second locking member 30 remains unchanged.

[0181] In the above technical solution, the first arc surface 24 is set by the first extension arm 26. During the unlocking process of the lock assembly 100, the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member 20. It can also be understood that the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 always passes through the central axis of the first rotating shaft 22. This ensures that the pressure of the second locking member 30 on the first locking member 20 always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member 20, without any additional force interfering with the unlocking process.

[0182] According to some embodiments of this application, the first arc surface 24 is configured to at least partially contact the second locking member 30 when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position.

[0183] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, at least a portion of the first arc surface 24 is in contact with the second locking member 30. When the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, the contact between at least a portion of the first arc surface 24 and the second locking member 30 allows the second locking member 30 to remain stationary during the unlocking process of the lock assembly 100, as it abuts against the first arc surface 24. Furthermore, during the unlocking process of the lock assembly 100, the normal to the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member 20. This can also be understood as the normal to the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 always passing through the central axis of the first rotating shaft 22, ensuring that the pressure of the second locking member 30 on the first locking member 20 always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member 20, without any additional force interfering with the unlocking process.

[0184] In the above technical solution, when the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, it contacts the second locking member 30 through the first arc surface 24. During the unlocking process of the lock assembly 100, the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member 20. This can also be understood as the normal of the contact surface between the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 always passing through the central axis of the first rotating shaft 22. This ensures that the pressure of the second locking member 30 on the first locking member 20 always passes through the rotation center of the first locking member 20, without any additional force interfering with the unlocking process. Furthermore, the contact between the second locking member 30 and the first arc surface 24 keeps the second locking member 30 stationary.

[0185] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the lock assembly 100 may further include: a detection switch 80, which is configured to be triggered when the first locking member 20 moves from the first locking position to the first unlocking position, and / or the detection switch 80 is configured to be triggered when the first locking member 20 moves from the first unlocking position to the first locking position.

[0186] The detection switch 80 can be a micro switch. The detection switch 80 is configured to be triggered when the first locking member 20 moves from the first locked position to the first unlocked position, or the detection switch 80 is configured to be triggered when the first locking member 20 moves from the first unlocked position to the first locked position, or the detection switch 80 is configured to be triggered both when the first locking member 20 moves from the first locked position to the first unlocked position and when the first locking member 20 moves from the first unlocked position to the first locked position. This application uses the example of the detection switch 80 being triggered both when the first locking member 20 moves from the first locked position to the first unlocked position and when the detection switch 80 is configured to be triggered both when the first locking member 20 moves from the first unlocked position to the first locked position as an example for explanation. When the first locking member 20 moves from the first locking position to the first unlocking position, the detection switch 80 is triggered, which can monitor the lock assembly 100 in the unlocked state. When the detection switch 80 is configured to be triggered when the first locking member 20 moves from the first unlocking position to the first locking position, the detection switch 80 can monitor the lock assembly 100 in the locked state.

[0187] In the above technical solution, by setting a detection switch 80, it is convenient to monitor the switching between the locked state and the unlocked state of the lock component 100.

[0188] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the detection switch 80 is fixed to the mounting base 10 and is correspondingly arranged with the second locking member 30 so as to trigger the detection switch 80 through the second locking member 30 when the first locking member 20 is locked with the second locking member 30, and / or to trigger the detection switch 80 through the second locking member 30 when the first locking member 20 is disengaged from the second locking member 30.

[0189] Specifically, when the first locking member 20 is engaged with the second locking member 30, the second locking member 30 triggers the detection switch 80, at which point the lock assembly 100 is in a locked state. When the first locking member 20 disengages from the second locking member 30, the second locking member 30 triggers the detection switch 80, at which point the lock assembly 100 is in an unlocked state. The detection switch 80 is triggered by the second locking member 30 when the first locking member 20 is engaged with the second locking member 30, or when the first locking member 20 disengages from the second locking member 30, or both when the first locking member 20 is engaged with the second locking member 30 and when the first locking member 20 disengages from the second locking member 30.

[0190] A detection switch 80 is fixed to the mounting base 10 and correspondingly disposed with the second locking member 30. The detection switch 80 is configured to cooperate with the second locking member 30 to detect whether the lock assembly 100 is locked or unlocked. The detection switch 80 can be disposed within the mounting space 12, or fixed to the bottom wall 14 of the mounting base 10, and is disposed opposite to the second locking member 30. The detection switch 80 is located between the second locking member 30 and the bottom wall 14 of the mounting base 10. The detection switch 80 has a first contact end 81 and a second contact end 82. The first contact end 81 is adapted to abut against the second locking member 30. When the lock assembly 100 is locked, the first locking member 20 is stopped by the second locking member 30, and the second locking member 30 triggers the detection switch 80 to monitor that the lock assembly 100 is in a locked state. When the lock assembly 100 is unlocked, the second locking member 30 does not lock the first locking member 20. The second locking member 30 triggers the detection switch 80 to monitor that the lock assembly 100 is in the unlocked state.

[0191] In the above technical solution, the detection switch 80 does not directly contact the first locking member 20 for detection, but indirectly detects the switching of the first locking member 20 between the locked and unlocked states through the second locking member 30. This can reduce the probability of accidental activation of the detection switch 80 when the locking pin 301 jumps and drives the first locking member 20 to move, thus reducing detection errors.

[0192] According to some embodiments of this application, the detection switch 80 can be connected to the controller via a wiring harness 83, and the wiring harness 83 can be fixed to the mounting base 10 via a cable tie 90. One end of the wiring harness 83 is located inside the mounting space 12 and connected to the detection switch 80, while the other end of the wiring harness 83 is located outside the mounting base 10 and connected to the controller. When the locking assembly 100 is locked, i.e., the first locking member 20 is in the first locked position and the second locking member 30 is in the second locked position, the first contact end 81 and the second contact end 82 are separated, and the controller detects that the locking assembly 100 is in a locked state. When the locking assembly 100 is unlocked, i.e., the second locking member 30 is in the second unlocked position, the second locking member 30 drives the first contact end 81 to contact the second contact end 82, and the controller can receive an unlock signal. The controller detects that the locking assembly 100 is in an unlocked state, thereby facilitating the monitoring of the locking assembly 100 in both locked and unlocked states. Furthermore, by setting the detection switch 80, it is possible to detect whether the lock component 100 is fully unlocked during the unlocking process and whether the lock component 100 is fully locked during the locking process.

[0193] During the unlocking process of the lock assembly 100, the second locking member 30 abuts against the first arc surface 24, keeping the second locking member 30 in place, and the first contact end 81 and the second contact end 82 are always in contact, which can improve the stability of the signal transmitted from the detection switch 80 to the controller.

[0194] In the above technical solution, by setting a detection switch 80, it is convenient to monitor whether the lock component 100 is in the locked state and the unlocked state. In addition, during the unlocking process of the lock component 100, it can be detected whether the lock component 100 is unlocked in place, and during the locking process of the lock component 100, it can be detected whether the lock component 100 is locked in place.

[0198] Electrical device 200 can be any of the aforementioned application lock components 100 devices or systems, for example, electrical device 200 can be a vehicle.

[0199] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figures 4-5 As shown, this application provides a lock assembly 100, which includes a mounting base 10, a first locking member 20, a second locking member 30, a first reset member 40, a drive assembly, a guide sleeve 60, a third reset member 70, a second reset member 71, a detection switch 80, and a fourth reset member 72. The first locking member 20, the second locking member 30, the first reset member 40, the drive assembly, the guide sleeve 60, the third reset member 70, the second reset member 71, the detection switch 80, and the fourth reset member 72 are all disposed within the mounting space 12 of the mounting base 10. The first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 are arranged adjacent to each other. The first locking member 20 is rotatably mounted on the first locking wall 15 via the first rotating shaft 22. The second locking member 30 is rotatably mounted on the first locking wall 15 via the second rotating shaft 32. The drive arm 51 of the drive assembly is rotatably mounted on the first locking wall 15 via the third rotating shaft 56. The guide sleeve 60 is fixed to the bottom wall 14 of the mounting base 10. The guide sleeve 60 is sleeved on the drive rod 52. The drive rod 52 is connected to the drive arm 51. The third reset member 70 is disposed inside the guide sleeve 60 and sleeved on the drive rod 52. The first reset member 40 is connected between the mounting base 10 and the second locking member 30. The second reset member 71 is connected between the mounting base 10 and the drive arm 51. The fourth reset member 72 is connected between the mounting base 10 and the first locking member 20. The outer peripheral wall of the first extension arm 26 has a first arc surface 24 suitable for abutting against the second locking member 30. The detection switch 80 is located between the second locking member 30 and the bottom wall 14 of the mounting base 10.

[0200] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the lock assembly 100 is unlocked, the first locking member 20 is in the first unlocked position, the second locking member 30 is in the second unlocked position, the first arc surface 24 and the second locking member 30 abut against each other, the drive arm 51 is in the third locked position, the drive rod 52 is in the fourth locked position, and the second locking member 30 can abut against the first contact end 81 of the detection switch 80, causing the first contact end 81 and the second contact end 82 to contact. When the lock assembly 100 is locked, the first locking member 20 moves from... Figure 6 As shown, the first locking member 20 rotates counterclockwise toward the first locking position. When the first locking member 20 rotates to the first locking position, the first reset member 40 drives the second locking member 30 from... Figure 6 The second locking member 30 is rotated counterclockwise from the second unlocking position to the second locking position, thereby locking the lock assembly 100.

[0201] like Figure 4As shown, when the lock assembly 100 needs to be unlocked, the drive rod 52 moves from the fourth locking position to the fourth unlocking position under the action of the external unlocking component, driving the drive arm 51 to rotate from the third locking position to the third unlocking position. When the drive arm 51 rotates, it drives the second locking member 30 to rotate from the second locking position to the second unlocking position, so that the rotation range of the first locking member 20 is completely offset from that of the second locking member 30. The fourth reset member 72 drives the first locking member 20 to rotate from the first locking position to the first unlocking position, thereby unlocking the lock assembly 100. During the rotation of the first locking member 20, the second locking member 30 always abuts against the first arc surface 24. At the same time, the second locking member 30 drives the first contact end 81 and the second contact end 82 to contact. Among them, the second reset member 71 drives the drive arm 51 to reset, and the third reset member 70 drives the drive rod 52 to reset.
