[0027] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The rail vehicle door lock is composed of a lock body 1, lock plates 2, 3, 4, and 5. The lock body 1 is inserted into the door leaf 6 from the side of the door leaf, and the four lock plates are located on the inner and outer sides of the door leaf 6. The upper and lower ends of the lock body 1 and the corresponding inner and outer lock plates (2 and 5, 3 and 4) are connected by bolts or other structures that penetrate the lock body to fix the lock body 1 inside the door leaf 6.

[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7The lock body 1 is used for the door leaf lock of automatic locking and is mainly composed of an oblique lock tongue 1-22 and a shift fork 1-21. The oblique lock tongue 1-22 and the shift fork 1-21 are arranged inside the shell of the lock body 1. The tail of the oblique lock tongue 1-22 is connected to the bending plate 1-10. The oblique lock tongue 1-22 can slide in the fixed groove of the oblique lock tongue bracket inside the shell. The head and tail of the bending plate 1-10 are both provided with bending parts. The head bending part and the shell cooperate to limit the extension amount of the oblique lock tongue 1-22. There is a spring 1-19 between the outside of the tail of the bending plate 1-10 and the shell. The spring 1-19 is used to push the oblique lock tongue 1-22 out of the shell; the shift fork 1-21 is rotatably connected to the shell, and one end of the shift fork 1-21 is located inside the bending plate 1-10. The shift fork 1-21 rotates to push the bending plate 1-10 to slide, driving the oblique lock tongue 1-22 to retract into the shell. When the door leaf is closed and the fork 1-21 is in the reset state, the bending plate 1-10 contacts the fork 1-21, and the oblique lock tongue 1-22 can be pushed back into the shell by the door frame alone, and then pushed out by the spring 1-19 to resume contact with the fork 1-21, thus achieving automatic locking. There is a square through hole (not shown) at the rotation center of the fork 1-21. Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The two main shafts of the handle 5-3 of the inner and outer lock plates can be inserted into the square through hole from both ends. Rotating the handle 5-3 can make the main shaft drive the oblique lock tongue 1-21 to slide, that is, the oblique lock tongue 1-22 retracts. A spring 1-23 is provided between the end of the fork 1-21 away from the bending plate 1-10 and the shell, and a slider 1-24 is provided at the tail end of the spring 1-23. The end of the fork 1-21 away from the bending plate 1-10 is in contact with the slider 1-24. When the handle is rotated on the vehicle, the fork 1-21 is driven to rotate, and the spring 1-23 can be compressed at the same time. The spring 1-19 and the spring 1-23 are located on the opposite sides of the fork 1-21, and can simultaneously push the fork 1-21 to reset, locate the handle position from the inside, and avoid handle deflection.

[0030] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 The mechanism for unlocking the door leaf under the vehicle is the auxiliary fork 1-9, which is rotatably connected to the shell. The fork 1-21 extends a side branch away from the oblique lock tongue 1-22. The auxiliary fork 1-9 is similar in structure to the fork 1-21, and a side branch is extended at the same position. The two side branches are connected by a connecting rod 1-20, so that the fork 1-21 and the auxiliary fork 1-9 move synchronously.

[0031] The shift fork 1-21 adopts a three-pointed star structure, with one fork end located in the bending plate 1-10 of the oblique lock tongue 1-22, which can move the oblique lock tongue 1-22 to retract, and one fork end located in the same straight line fits with the bumper 1-24 of the spring 1-23 to help the shift fork reset; the third fork end located on the back side of the shift fork 1-21 (the side away from the oblique lock tongue 1-22) is connected to the connecting rod 1-20 through a hole. The auxiliary shift fork 1-9 is approximately V-shaped and has a double-fork structure. It has one less fork end that drives the oblique lock tongue 1-22 to move than the shift fork 1-21. The fork end of the auxiliary shift fork 1-9 corresponding to the shift fork 1-21 is connected to the connecting rod 1-20 through a hole, so that getting on and off the vehicle can synchronously drive the oblique lock tongue 1-22 to move; a spring 1-2 is installed between the remaining fork end of the auxiliary shift fork 1-9 and the shell, and the tail end of the spring 1-2 is connected to the slider 1-8. The remaining fork end of the auxiliary shift fork 1-9 contacts the slider 1-8, and the auxiliary shift fork 1-9 rotates to compress the spring 1-2 through the slider 1-8. Similarly, there is a square through hole (not shown) at the rotation center of the auxiliary shift fork 1-9, such as Fig.10 , Fig.10 The main shaft of the handle 4-3 of the outer lock plate is inserted from the square through hole. The handle 4-3 is rotated so that the main shaft can drive the auxiliary fork 1-9 to rotate, thereby driving the fork 1-21 to rotate through the connecting rod 1-20, driving the oblique lock tongue 1-21 to slide, and the oblique lock tongue 1-22 to retract.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 There are a safety mechanism and a safety release mechanism inside the shell. The safety mechanism is mainly a safety block 1-18, and the safety release mechanism is mainly a knob; the safety block 1-18 is located above the oblique lock tongue 1-22 and is slidably connected to the shell. The safety block 1-18 is parallel to the sliding direction of the oblique lock tongue 1-22. The knob is rotationally connected to the shell. The rotation of the knob can drive the safety block 1-18 to slide left and right. A notch is provided at the fork end of the fork 1-21 located in the bending plate 1-10 of the oblique lock tongue 1-22. When the safety block 1-18 enters the notch (at this time, the fork end of the fork 1-21 is located between the bending plate 1-10 and the safety block 1-18), the rotation of the fork 1-21 is restricted.

[0033] The structure of the safety block 1-18 sliding when the knob is rotated is as follows: the knob is axially connected to the auxiliary gear 1-13, the auxiliary gear 1-13 is directly or indirectly connected to the safety gear 1-16 through the large gear 1-12, the safety gear 1-16 is eccentrically provided with a short pin 1-17 on the side, and the safety block 1-18 is provided with a vertical long hole, and the short pin 1-17 is located in the long hole. When the safety gear 1-16 rotates, the safety block 1-18 can be driven to slide left and right in the shell through the short pin 1-17 and the long hole. The knob is rotatably connected to the lock plate 2 inside the vehicle, and the lock plate 5 located outside the vehicle is connected to the lock core 5-2, which is axially connected to the knob, that is, the rotation of the lock core 5-2 can drive the auxiliary gear 1-13 to rotate, and then drive the safety gear 1-16 to rotate.

[0034] The safety release structure under the vehicle is a sub-knob, which is rotatably connected to the housing, and the sub-knob is axially connected to the sub-gear 1-4, which is meshed with the large gear 1-5, and the large gear 1-5 is axially connected to the lever 1-6; at this time, the sub-gear 1-13 is connected to the safety gear 1-16 through the large gear 1-12, and the large gear 1-12 is axially connected to the lever 1-11, and there is a connecting rod 1-7 between the lever 1-6 and the lever 1-11, and the large gear 1-5 and the large gear 1-12 move synchronously through the connecting rod 1-7 to realize the safety release under the vehicle. A torsion spring 1-3 is provided between the large gear 1-5 and the housing; a torsion spring 1-15 is provided between the safety gear 1-16 and the housing, and there is no spare space on the large gear 1-12 to install a reset torsion spring. A torsion spring 1-15 is provided between the side of the safety gear 1-16 away from the safety block 1-18 and the housing. When the safety state is restored, the safety gear 1-16 can transmit the reset force to the large gear 1-12; the knob has a radially asymmetrical, straight-shaped handle. When the safety state is released, the knob's own gravity can keep the safety gear 1-16 stable, so that the safety block 1-18 can stably leave the fork 1-21 until the next manual operation.

[0035] The lock plate 4 located outside the vehicle is connected to the lock core 4-2, and the auxiliary knob is axial with the lock core, or the auxiliary knob is the lock core 4-2, that is, the rotation of the lock core 4-2 can drive the auxiliary gear 1-4 to rotate, and the movement is transmitted to the large gear 1-5 and the connecting rod 1-7 to the large gear 1-12 and the safety gear 1-16. The rotation of the safety gear 1-16 drives the safety block 1-18 to slide and release the safety. The lock cores 4-2 and 5-2 are provided with cover plates 4-1 and 5-1 respectively outside the lock cores. When the driver and passengers are outside the door leaf, their professional keys can be inserted into any of the lock cores 4-2 and 5-2 under the vehicle or on the vehicle to release the safety structure. When the driver and passengers are inside the door leaf, they can turn the knob to directly drive the safety gear 1-16 to rotate and release the safety.

[0036] like Fig. 9 , Fig.11A U-shaped groove around the end of the handle is provided inside the lock plate, and the end of the handle extending into the lock plate is connected to the stopper 4-4, which rotates with the handle. The stopper 4-4 abuts against any end of the U-shaped groove opening, which can limit the rotation angle of the handle and realize a 90-degree rotation of the handle to lock or release. The bending plate 1-10, the fork 1-21, and the stopper 4-4 cooperate to position the recovery and extension of the oblique lock tongue 1-22.

[0037] When in use, the driver or passenger lifts the lock core cover 4-1 outside the door under the vehicle, inserts the professional key into the door lock core 4-2, and rotates the key 90 degrees counterclockwise to rotate the secondary gear 1-4, which engages and drives the large gear 1-5 to rotate. The lever 1-6 and the large gear 1-5 rotate synchronously, driving the connecting rod 1-7 to move upward, and at the same time compressing the torsion spring 1-3 to move. The connecting rod 1-7 transmits the linkage result of the lock core 4-2 movement to the upper part of the door lock; the connecting rod 1-7 drives the lever 1-11 to rotate, The large gear 1-12 is driven to rotate, so that the secondary gear 1-13 and the safety gear 1-16 are rotated. The safety gear 1-16 drives the main gear short pin 1-17 to rotate, pushing the safety block 1-18 to move along the slide groove in the oblique lock tongue bracket 1-14. The safety gear 1-16 compresses the torsion spring 1-15 to move to another stable position, and the safety block 1-18 leaves the gap of the fork 1-21. The fork 1-21 can rotate with the handle to complete the unlocking of the fork 1-21 outside the door under the vehicle. After unlocking is completed, the handle 4-3 can be operated outside the door under the vehicle, and the handle 4-3 can be pressed down to rotate the limit plate 4-4 90° to the stop position of the door lock outer lock plate 4-5. The handle 4-3 drives the auxiliary fork 1-9 to rotate, compresses the spring 1-2, drives the connecting rod 1-20 to move, and transmits the linkage result of the handle 4-3 movement to the upper part of the door lock; the handle connecting rod 1-20 moves, drives the fork 1-21 to rotate, drives the oblique lock tongue 1-22 to retract, and compresses the springs 1-23 and 1-19. The door lock unlocking operation of the driver and passengers outside the door under the vehicle is completed, and the door opening outside the door under the vehicle is completed.
