Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tailgate electric suction locks, and more specifically, to an electric suction lock device and an operating method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The electric suction lock device is a locking structure currently used in automobiles. Because of its excellent locking performance, it can firmly close and lock the trunk of the car, and because it is controlled by an electromagnet, it is also convenient to operate in practice. The lock components in the commonly used electric suction lock devices are mostly large in size and cannot be used in scenes with insufficient space. In addition, the structure of the lock components is scattered and not conducive to assembly. At the same time, it brings great inconvenience to the later inspection and maintenance of the lock components, increasing the maintenance cost.

[0003] For example, announcement number CN221546681U discloses an electric suction lock for the tailgate of a car, including an electric suction lock buckle body, a fixing seat fixedly connected to the electric suction lock buckle body, a mounting structure detachably connected to the electric suction lock buckle body, the mounting structure including a mounting plate, a mounting plate slidably connected between the electric suction lock buckle body and the fixing seat, a lock buckle detachably connected to the mounting plate, a limiting ring fixedly connected to the lock buckle, the limiting ring and the mounting plate are plugged into each other, a limiting groove is provided in the limiting ring, a limiting rod is slidably connected to the mounting plate, and the limiting rod and the limiting groove are plugged into each other.

[0004] It can be seen from the above-mentioned public scheme that the lock buckle of the electric suction lock is large in size, and the space required during the locking action is large, which cannot be used in scenes with insufficient space, narrowing the scope of application. In addition, components such as the lock buckle and spring are installed in the groove of the fixed seat, and modular operation cannot be formed. At the same time, the electric suction lock device needs to be disassembled for maintenance at the later stage, which brings inconvenience to the maintenance operation and increases the maintenance cost.

[0009] Furthermore, a clearance groove is provided at one end of the lifting sleeve, the inner wall of the clearance groove is rotatably connected to a shaft rod, and a connecting block is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the shaft rod, so that one end of the locking hook has a rotating function.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting sleeve is made of iron metal material, and one end of the lifting sleeve is fixedly connected to a limiting block. The outer diameter of the limiting block is larger than the inner diameter of the first mounting hole. The limiting block can limit the lifting position of the lifting sleeve and has a counterweight function to facilitate the falling of the lifting sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, a groove is provided at one end of the positioning seat, the cross-sectional shape of the groove is arc-shaped, and the inner wall of the groove is in contact with the surface of the lock hook, which can increase the contact area with the lock hook and reduce the wear on the surface of the lock hook.

A groove 33 is provided at one end of the seat 3, and the cross-sectional shape of the groove 33 is arc-shaped. The inner wall of the groove 33 is in contact with the surface of the lock hook 52, which can increase the contact area with the lock hook 52 and reduce the wear on the surface of the lock hook 52. The surface of the positioning seat 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 31 and a second mounting hole 32. The inner wall of the first mounting hole 31 is slidably sleeved with a lifting sleeve 5, and one end of the lifting sleeve 5 is rotatably connected to the lock hook 52.
