Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of locking methods, and more specifically, to a locking method that is easy to operate. Background Technology

[0002] In openable and closable devices, locking devices that lock the opening and closing device to form a closed state are very commonly used.

[0003] Locking devices require frequent tightening and loosening during use, especially for traditional threaded locking methods. Frequent rotation of the locking device for tightening and loosening not only increases the damage rate of the rotating wrench components but also degrades the surface quality of the threads, resulting in poor locking effect and stability, thus affecting the use of the openable device.

[0004] In addition, traditional locking devices with threaded connections require a certain amount of time during the tightening process, which results in a long operation time and makes it impossible to achieve the effect of quick opening, closing and locking. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art and provide an easy-to-operate locking method. This locking method is convenient to operate and has a quick locking / unlocking function. At the same time, this locking method can solve the problem of poor locking effect caused by multiple locking and unlocking operations.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a locking method that is easy to operate, characterized in that: a locking device and an openable / closable device are provided; the openable / closable device includes an opening / closing component one with a hole and an opening / closing component two with a hole; the locking device includes a housing, a pressing component, a transmission component, a positioning pin, and a spring; the housing is a hollow structure; the transmission component and the positioning pin are respectively disposed inside the housing, the pressing component is disposed outside the housing and detachably connected to one end of the transmission component, and the other end of the transmission component abuts against the positioning pin; the spring sleeves the positioning pin and abuts against both the positioning pin and the housing; the housing is provided with a fixing part for fixing it.

[0007] The locking method is as follows: when the openable device needs to be closed, the first and second opening / closing parts are overlapped and joined so that the first and second holes are opposite each other; the outer shell is installed on the first or second opening / closing part through the fixing part, at which time the outer shell is located above the first and second holes; the positioning pin of the locking device is inserted into the first and second holes by pressing to lock the first and second opening / closing parts.

[0008] When the opening and closing device needs to be opened, the positioning pin of the locking device is retracted from hole one and hole two into the housing by pressing, thereby loosening and unloading opening and closing parts one and two; at this time, the locking device is installed on opening and closing parts one or two for locking and closing the next time opening and closing parts one and two.

[0009] In the above-described solution, the locking method of the present invention is convenient to operate. First, the locking device is fixed, and then it is locked or released by pressing, achieving a quick opening and closing locking effect. In addition, when the openable device is opened, the locking device can remain fixed on the openable device without disassembly. Therefore, it can solve the problem that frequent rotation of the locking device causes easy wear and quality degradation of the surface of the fixing part (e.g., threads) of the locking device. Moreover, the present invention uses a telescopic positioning pin as the locking component, eliminating the problem of positioning pin wear. Therefore, it can effectively solve the problem of poor locking effect and poor locking stability caused by long-term locking use, thereby greatly improving practicality without affecting the use and efficiency of the openable device.

[0010] The method of inserting the positioning pin of the locking device into hole one and hole two by pressing to lock the opening and closing parts one and two means: operating the pressing part to push the transmission component to compress the spring and extend the positioning pin out of the outer shell and insert it into hole one and hole two to lock the opening and closing parts one and two.

[0011] The method of retracting the positioning pin of the locking device from hole one and hole two into the housing by pressing to release the opening and closing parts one and two means: resetting the pressing part and resetting the transmission part by spring, and retracting the positioning pin from hole one and hole two into the housing to release the opening and closing parts one and two.

[0012] The overlapping and joining of opening and closing component one and opening and closing component two so that hole position one and hole position two are opposite means that: opening and closing component one is provided with a plug, and hole position one is provided on the plug; opening and closing component two is provided with two connecting blocks, forming a socket between the two connecting blocks, hole position two is provided on the connecting block on the bottom surface, and the connecting block on the end surface is provided with a connecting hole; when the plug is inserted into the socket, opening and closing component one and opening and closing component two overlap and join, at this time, hole position one and hole position two are opposite.

[0013] The outer casing is installed in the connecting hole of the second opening and closing part through the fixing part.

[0014] The fixing part provided for fixing the outer shell means that the fixing part is provided on the bottom outer side of the outer shell.

[0015] Alternatively, the locking device may further include a connector for securing the housing; the connector is detachably connected to the housing, and a fixing portion is provided on the outer side of the connector.

[0016] The fixing part can adopt a threaded structure. In this invention, the locking device is first fixedly installed through the fixing part, and then the subsequent locking operation is performed. This eliminates the need to disassemble the locking device and facilitates each locking operation.

[0017] The outer shell is provided with several support modules. Each support module has a support platform and a transition platform at its end. The support platform and the transition platform are connected by a stepped structure to form a slot. The empty slot between adjacent support modules serves as slide rail one. Each support module is provided with slide rail two.

[0018] The transmission component includes a pressure slide shaft and a rotating gear; the pressing element is connected to one end of the pressure slide shaft, and the other end of the pressure slide shaft is inserted into and in contact with the rotating gear.

[0019] The pressure slide shaft includes a slide shaft body, the bottom of which is provided with a locking part for contacting a rotating gear; the side wall of the slide shaft body is provided with a slide bar, which is slidably connected to slide rail one and slide rail two. This design ensures that the slide shaft body can drive the rotating gear to slide smoothly in the axial direction of the outer casing, while ensuring sliding accuracy.

[0020] The rotating gear includes a main body, one end of which is inserted into a pressure sliding shaft, and the other end abuts against a positioning pin; racks are evenly arranged on the main body, and the end face of the racks is provided with toothed surfaces that engage with the engaging part of the sliding shaft.

[0021] When the pressure slide shaft pushes the rotating gear and the positioning pin, the tooth surface of the rack is locked in the slot between the support platform and the transition platform. At this time, the spring is compressed and the positioning pin extends out of the outer shell, thus locking the openable device. When the pressure slide shaft is reset, it is pushed back by the spring, and the tooth surface of the rack enters the slide rail one through the transition platform. At this time, the positioning pin retracts, thus releasing the openable device.

[0022] The tooth surface and the end face of the transition platform are respectively curved, and the end faces of the tooth surface and the transition platform match each other. The engaging part of the sliding shaft body of the present invention also matches and engages with the tooth surface.

[0023] In this invention, the pressing component and the pressure slide shaft of the transmission component are detachably connected, and the connecting component and the outer shell are detachably connected, so the entire structure of the locking device can be disassembled and assembled, which facilitates the replacement of various parts. In addition, the slot design can support the rack, thereby allowing the positioning pin to be in the extended state.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: the locking method of the present invention is easy to operate and has a quick locking / unlocking function. At the same time, the locking method can solve the problem of poor locking effect caused by multiple locking and unlocking operations. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the easy-to-operate locking method of the present invention is as follows: a locking device and an openable / closable device 10 are provided. The openable / closable device 10 includes an opening / closing member 10.1 with a hole 10.4 and an opening / closing member 10.2 with a hole 2 (not shown). One end of the opening / closing member 10.1 and the opening / closing member 10.2 are hinged, and the other end is openable / closable. The locking device includes a housing 1, a pressing member 2, a transmission component, a positioning pin 3, a spring (not shown), and a connecting member 4 for fixing the housing 1. The housing 1 is a hollow structure. The connecting member 4 is threaded to the housing 1, and the outer side of the connecting member 4 is provided with an external thread 4.1. The transmission component and the positioning pin 3 are respectively disposed inside the housing 1. The pressing member 2 is disposed outside the housing 1 and is detachably connected to one end of the transmission component. The other end of the transmission component abuts against the positioning pin 3. The spring sleeves the positioning pin 3 and abuts against both the positioning pin 3 and the housing 1.

[0039] Specifically, overlapping and engaging opening / closing component 10.1 and opening / closing component 20.2 so that hole position 10.4 and hole position 2 are opposite means that: opening / closing component 10.1 is provided with a plug 10.5, and hole position 10.4 is provided on plug 10.5; while opening / closing component 20.2 is provided with two connecting blocks 10.3, forming a socket between the two connecting blocks 10.3; hole position 2 is provided on the connecting block 10.3 on the bottom surface, and the connecting block 10.3 on the end surface is provided with a threaded connecting hole 10.6; when plug 10.5 is inserted into the socket, opening / closing component 10.1 and opening / closing component 20.2 overlap and engage, at which time hole position 10.4 and hole position 2 are opposite.

[0040] The locking method is as follows: when the openable device 10 needs to be closed, the first opening and closing part 10.1 and the second opening and closing part 10.2 are overlapped and engaged so that the first hole 10.4 and the second hole are opposite to each other; the outer shell 1 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole 10.6 of the second opening and closing part 10.2 through the external thread 4.1 of the connector 4, at which time the outer shell 1 is located above the first hole 10.4 and the second hole; the pressing part 2 is operated to push the transmission component so that the spring is compressed and the positioning pin 3 extends out of the outer shell 1 and is inserted into the first hole 10.4 and the second hole to lock the first opening and closing part 10.1 and the second opening and closing part 10.2.

[0041] When the openable / closable device 10 needs to be opened, the operating pressing member 2 resets, and the transmission component resets via the spring. The positioning pin 3 retracts from holes 10.4 and 10.2 into the housing 1, thus releasing the opening / closing member 10.1 and 10.2. At this time, the housing 1 of the locking device is mounted on the opening / closing member 10.2 for locking the opening / closing member 10.1 and 10.2 for the next closing.

[0042] The locking device of the present invention has the following specific structure:

[0043] The outer casing 1 of the locking device is provided with several support modules 7. Each support module 7 has a support platform 7.1 and a transition platform 7.2 at its end. The support platform 7.1 and the transition platform 7.2 are stepped to form a slot. The empty slot between adjacent support modules 7 serves as a slide rail 8. Each support module 7 is provided with a slide rail 7.3.

[0044] The transmission component of this invention includes a pressure slide shaft 5 and a rotating gear 6. A pressing member 2 is connected to one end of the pressure slide shaft 5, and the other end of the pressure slide shaft 5 is inserted into and contacts the rotating gear 6. The pressure slide shaft 5 includes a slide shaft body, and the bottom of the slide shaft body is provided with a locking portion 5.1 for contacting the rotating gear 6. A slide bar 9 is provided on the side wall of the slide shaft body, and the slide bar 9 is slidably connected to slide rail 8 and slide rail 7.3. This design ensures that the slide shaft body can smoothly push the rotating gear 6 to slide in the axial direction of the outer casing 1, while also ensuring sliding accuracy.

[0045] The rotary gear 6 of the present invention includes a main body, one end of which is inserted into a pressure sliding shaft 5, and the other end abuts against a positioning pin 3. A rack 6.1 is evenly distributed on the main body, and the end face of the rack 6.1 is provided with a tooth surface 6.2 that engages with the engaging portion 5.1 of the sliding shaft body. The end faces of the tooth surface 6.2 and the transition platform 7.2 are respectively curved, and the end faces of the tooth surface 6.2 and the transition platform 7.2 match. The engaging portion 5.1 of the sliding shaft body also matches and engages with the tooth surface 6.2. When the pressure slide shaft 5 pushes the rotating gear 6 and the positioning pin 3, the tooth surface 6.2 of the rack 6.1 is engaged in the slot between the support platform 7.1 and the transition platform 7.2. At this time, the spring is compressed and the positioning pin 3 extends out of the outer shell 1, thereby locking the openable device 10. When the pressure slide shaft 5 is reset, it is pushed back by the spring, and the tooth surface 6.2 of the rack 6.1 enters the slide rail 8 through the transition platform 7.2. At this time, the positioning pin 3 retracts, thereby releasing the openable device 10.

[0046] The locking method of the present invention is convenient to operate. First, the locking device is fixed, and then it is locked or released by pressing, achieving a quick opening and closing locking effect. In addition, when the openable device 10 is opened, the locking device can remain fixed on the openable device 10 without disassembly. Therefore, it can solve the problem that the surface of the fixing part (e.g., the thread) of the locking device is easily worn and the quality deteriorates due to frequent rotation of the locking device. Moreover, the present invention uses a telescopic positioning pin 3 as the locking component, so there is no problem of wear on the positioning pin 3. Therefore, it can effectively solve the problem of poor locking effect and poor locking stability caused by long-term locking use, thereby greatly improving practicality and not affecting the use and efficiency of the openable device 10.
