[0080] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0081] Example 1

[0082] like Figures 1-11 , Figures 22-31 As shown, a lock body is disclosed. Figure 7 and Figure 22 As shown, the lock body includes a lock housing 1, a bolt assembly 3 mounted on the lock housing 1, and a main bolt assembly 4. (As shown...) Figures 3-6 As shown, the lock body is used to cooperate with the strike plate 2 installed on the door frame.

[0083] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the oblique tongue assembly 3 in this embodiment includes:

[0084] The latch body 31 is slidably disposed on the lock housing 1. The latch body 31 has a latch portion 311 and a rod portion 312 that are connected to each other.

[0085] The first elastic element 32 is provided in the lock housing 1 and is used to directly or indirectly cooperate with the latch body 31 to make the latch body 31 have a tendency to move outward of the lock housing 1.

[0086] The oblique latch attachment 33 is slidably disposed on the oblique latch body 31. When the oblique latch body 31 slides into the lock housing 1, it can drive the oblique latch attachment 33 to move into the lock housing 1 together.

[0087] The second elastic element 34 is disposed in the lock housing 1 and is used to directly or indirectly cooperate with the latch attachment 33 to give the latch attachment 33 a tendency to move outward from the lock housing 1; and

[0088] A circuit board 35 is disposed in the lock housing 1. The circuit board 35 has a first sensor 351. The first sensor 351 has a first state and a second state. The first sensor 351 cooperates with the latch attachment 33. The first sensor 351 switches between the first state and the second state according to the position change of the latch attachment 33.

[0089] One of the first state and the second state is that the first sensor 351 is in a triggered state, and the other is that the first sensor 351 is in a non-triggered state; when the door is closed, the latch assembly 3 of the lock body cooperates with the buckle plate 2, the latch accessory 33 moves into the lock shell 1, and the first sensor 351 is switched from the first state to the second state.

[0090] The latch accessory 33 of the present application is slidably arranged on the latch body 31, which can make the structure more compact compared to the structure in which the trigger tongue is arranged side by side with the latch assembly 3. The latch assembly 3 of the present application can determine the state of the latch accessory 33 through the first sensor 351, that is, the same function as the existing trigger tongue assembly can be achieved.

[0091] In actual use, the cross section of the rod portion 312 can be circular or other shapes, or can be a structure with a cross section changing in the axial direction.

[0092] As shown in Figures 1-6 , in the present embodiment, the circuit board 35 also has a second sensor 352, the second sensor 352 has a third state and a fourth state, the second sensor 352 cooperates with the latch body 31, and the second sensor 352 is switched between the third state and the fourth state according to the position change of the latch body 31;

[0094] The latch assembly 3 has an open door state, a closed door not in place state, and a closed door in place state;

[0095] When the latch assembly 3 is in the open door state, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the latch portion 311 of the latch body 31 extends out of the lock shell 1, the second sensor 352 is in the third state, the latch accessory 33 extends out of the lock shell 1, and the first sensor 351 is in the first state;

[0096] When the latch assembly 3 is in the closed door not in place state, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the latch portion 311 of the latch body 31 is pressed to move and retract into the lock shell 1, the second sensor 352 is in the fourth state, the latch accessory 33 is also moved and retracted into the lock shell 1 under the driving of the latch body 31, and the first sensor 351 is in the second state;

[0097] When the latch assembly 3 is in the closed door in place state, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, the latch body 31 of the latch part 311 extends out of the lock shell 1, the second sensor 352 is in the third state, the latch accessory 33 abuts against the clamping plate 2, the latch accessory 33 is in the compressed back state, and the first sensor 351 is in the second state.

[0098] In actual use, the circuit board 35 can determine whether the door is closed to position according to the signal changes of the first sensor 351 and the second sensor 352, and send a signal to make the main latch assembly 4 of the lock body automatically extend out of the lock shell 1 after the door is closed to position. Specifically, when the second sensor 352 changes from the first state to the second state and then to the first state, and the first sensor 351 changes from the first state to the second state, it is determined that the door closing action is completed and the door is closed to position.

[0099] In actual use, each sensor can adopt a sensor used in the existing lock body, such as a mechanical switch sensor. In actual use, other sensor forms can also be used, such as a Hall sensor.

[0100] As shown in Figures 8-11 , in the embodiment, the latch accessory 33 has a small tongue part 331 and a mounting part 332 connected with each other, and the mounting part 332 is slidingly mounted on the rod part 312. There are various ways of slidingly mounting, such as a sleeving form, a form through a track, etc.

[0101] As shown in Figure 2 and 9 , in the embodiment, the mounting part 332 is sleeved on the rod part 312, and the mounting part 332 abuts against the latch part 311 when the latch assembly 3 is in the door opening state.

[0102] In actual use, the first elastic member 32 is a spring, a tension spring or a torsion spring, one end of the first elastic member 32 cooperates with the lock shell 1, and the other end directly or indirectly cooperates with the rod part 312.

[0103] In actual use, the second elastic member 34 is a spring, a tension spring or a torsion spring, one end of the first elastic member 32 cooperates with the lock shell 1, and the other end directly or indirectly cooperates with the rod part 312. Alternatively, the second elastic member 34 is a spring, the second elastic member 34 is sleeved on the rod part 312, one end of the second elastic member 34 cooperates with the lock shell 1 or the rod part 312, and the other end cooperates with the mounting part 332.

[0104] The mounting part 332 is sleeved on the rod part 312, which is convenient for installation; when the latch assembly 3 is in the door opening state, the mounting part 332 abuts against the latch part 311, and when the door is closed, the latch part 311 is retracted into the lock shell 1 under the action of the clamping plate 2, which will drive the mounting part 332 to be retracted into the lock shell 1 synchronously.

[0105] As shown in Figures 8-11As shown, in the embodiment, the latch tongue part 311 has a pressure-retracting surface 311a and a thrust surface 311b, the pressure-retracting surface 311a is an inclined surface or an arc surface, the thrust surface 311b has a sliding groove 3111, and the tongue part 331 is in sliding fit with the sliding groove 3111.

[0106] The design of the sliding groove 3111 can limit the tongue part 331, so that the latch tongue assembly 3 is more stable and reliable in movement.

[0107] As shown in Figure 5 , 6 , 8 and 9, in the embodiment, the tongue part 331 has a portion protruding from the sliding groove 3111, and when the latch tongue assembly 3 is in the door-closed position, the end surface of the portion protruding from the sliding groove 3111 is in contact with the strike plate 2.

[0108] The tongue part 331 has a portion protruding from the sliding groove 3111, and such arrangement can not change the strike plate 2 (the strike plate 2 has various styles, and changing the strike plate 2 can effectively reduce the installation efficiency and cost of the lock body), and when the latch tongue assembly 3 is in the door-open position, the latch tongue body 31 extends into the limiting hole 21 of the strike plate 2, and the tongue part 331 has the portion protruding from the sliding groove 3111, and the protruding portion can continue to contact the strike plate 2, so that the latch tongue assembly 33 is in the retracted state.

[0109] As shown in Figure 9 , in the embodiment, the tongue part 331 protrudes from the avoiding groove 111 along the length direction of the tongue part 331.

[0110] As shown in Figures 1-6 , in the embodiment, the rod part 312 has a first trigger part 3121 cooperating with the first sensor 351, and the latch tongue assembly 33 has a second trigger part 3321 cooperating with the second sensor 352. Specifically, the mounting part 332 of the latch tongue assembly 33 has the second trigger part 3321.

[0111] As shown in Figures 22-31 , the main lock tongue assembly 4 of the lock body comprises:

[0112] a main lock tongue body 41 slidably arranged on the lock shell 1, the main lock tongue body 41 has a main lock tongue part 411 and a main lock tongue plate 412 connected with each other, the main lock tongue plate 412 has a driving groove 4121, and the main lock tongue body 41 has an extended state and a retracted state.

[0113] The main lock tongue pushing block 42 is rotatably installed on the lock shell 1, and can rotate around the first rotation axis 5. The main lock tongue pushing block 42 has a driving part 421 extending into the driving groove 4121. When the main lock tongue pushing block 42 rotates, the driving part 421 and the driving groove 4121 can cooperate to drive the main lock tongue body 41 to slide. The main lock tongue pushing block 42 has a first position and a second position. When the main lock tongue pushing block 42 is in the first position, the main lock tongue body 41 is in the extended state. When the main lock tongue pushing block 42 is in the second position, the main lock tongue body 41 is in the retracted state.

[0114] The rotating pushing piece 43 is rotatably installed on the lock shell 1, and is fixed opposite to the main lock tongue pushing block 42 and can rotate synchronously with the main lock tongue pushing block 42. The rotating pushing piece 43 has a first pressure receiving part 431 and a first matching part 432 arranged adjacent to the first rotation axis 5.

[0115] The lock cylinder 44 is installed on the lock shell 1, as shown in Figure 15 , and has a lock head cam 441. The lock head cam 441 has an initial position, an unlocking position and a locking position.

[0116] The lock head pushing piece 45 is movably arranged on the lock shell 1. The lock head pushing piece 45 has a second pressure receiving part 451 and a second matching part 452. The second pressure receiving part 451 is arranged on one side of the lock cylinder 44 and adjacent to the lock head cam 441.

[0117] The motor transmission part 46 is rotatably installed on the lock shell 1. The motor transmission part 46 and the main lock tongue pushing block 42 have a transmission structure therebetween. The transmission structure includes an arc-shaped hole 422 and a protrusion 461 extending into the arc-shaped hole 422. One of the arc-shaped hole 422 and the protrusion 461 is arranged on the motor transmission part 46, and the other is arranged on the main lock tongue pushing block 42. The motor transmission part 46 is used to cooperate with the motor assembly 6 of the lock body, and is driven by the motor assembly 6 of the lock body to rotate, thereby driving the main lock tongue pushing block 42 to rotate.

[0118] During the process that the lock head cam 441 rotates from the initial position to the unlocking position, the lock head cam 441 is in contact with the second pressure receiving part 451, thereby driving the lock head pushing piece 45 to move. After the lock head pushing piece 45 moves, the second matching part 452 is in contact with the first matching part 432, thereby driving the rotating pushing piece 43 and the main lock tongue pushing block 42 to rotate synchronously, and finally making the main lock tongue body 41 switch from the extended state to the retracted state.

[0119] When the lock head cam 441 rotates from the initial position to the unlocking position, the lock head cam 441 is in contact with the first pressure receiving part 431, thereby driving the rotating pushing piece 43 and the main lock tongue pushing block 42 to rotate synchronously, and finally making the main lock tongue body 41 switch from the retracted state to the extended state.

[0120] The second pressure receiving part 451 of the main lock bolt assembly 4 is located on one side of the lock cylinder 44 and adjacent to the lock head cam 441, and the lock head cam 441 can drive the lock head tumbler 45 to move by rotating a small angle. The first matching part 432 of the main lock bolt tumbler 42 is arranged adjacent to the first rotation axis 5, so that the first matching part 432 can realize the rotation of the main lock bolt tumbler 42 by a large angle by moving a small range. The combination of the two (the second pressure receiving part 451 is located on one side of the lock cylinder 44 and adjacent to the lock head cam 441, and the first matching part 432 is arranged adjacent to the first rotation axis 5) can make the angle of rotation of the main lock bolt assembly 4 smaller when unlocking with a key, and the unlocking process takes a shorter time.

[0121] The design of the transmission structure can make the motor driving part 46 rotate by a set angle after driving the main lock bolt body 41 to the extended state or the retracted state, so that the motor driving part 46 will not be driven to rotate when unlocking with a key (the lock head cam 441 of the lock cylinder 44 is turned to the unlocking position), and the motor driving part 46 will not be driven to rotate (the key unlocks, the main lock bolt tumbler 42 is driven to rotate, the protrusion 461 moves in the arc-shaped hole 422, and the motor driving part 46 is different), which makes it easier to unlock with a key. Figure 30 and Figure 31 , the motor driving part 46 will not be driven to rotate (the key unlocks, the main lock bolt tumbler 42 is driven to rotate, the protrusion 461 moves in the arc-shaped hole 422, and the motor driving part 46 is different), which makes it easier to unlock with a key.

[0122] In this embodiment, when the lock head cam 441 rotates from the initial position to the unlocking position, the angle of rotation of the lock head cam 441 is less than or equal to 90°.

[0123] As shown in Figure 29 , in this embodiment, the main lock bolt plate 412 is located between the main lock bolt tumbler 42 and the rotating tumbler 43. In this way, the main lock bolt plate 412 is evenly stressed and moves more stably and reliably.

[0124] As shown in Figure 27 , in this embodiment, the driving part 421 is arranged on the driving groove 4121;

[0125] One end of the driving part 421 is fixed to the main lock bolt tumbler 42, and the other end is inserted into the rotating tumbler 43; or one end of the driving part 421 is fixed to the rotating tumbler 43, and the other end is inserted into the main lock bolt tumbler 42.

[0126] As shown in Figure 22 , 27 and 29, in this embodiment, the rotating tumbler 43 further has a third matching part 433, the third matching part 433 and the first matching part 432 are located on the same side of the first rotation axis 5, and the distance between the third matching part 433 and the first rotation axis 5 is greater than the distance between the first matching part 432 and the first rotation axis 5;

[0127] The lock head tumbler 45 has a fourth matching part 453 matched with the third matching part 433;

[0128] During the process of the lock head cam 441 rotating from the initial position to the unlocked position, the lock head cam 441 contacts and engages with the second pressure part 451, driving the lock head lever 45 to move. At first, the fourth engagement part 453 of the lock head lever 45 contacts and engages with the third engagement part 433, driving the rotating lever 43 to rotate. Then, the fourth engagement part 453 and the third engagement part 433 no longer contact and engage, but the second engagement part 452 contacts and engages with the first engagement part 432, continuing to drive the rotating lever 43 to rotate, ultimately causing the main bolt body 41 to switch from the extended state to the retracted state.

[0129] The first mating part 432 is located adjacent to the first rotation axis 5, which results in a small lever arm. Therefore, a larger force needs to be applied to the key at the beginning of rotation. This application addresses this by providing a third mating part 433 (the distance of the third mating part 433 from the first rotation axis 5 is greater than the distance of the first mating part 432 from the first rotation axis 5) and a fourth mating part 453, so that at the beginning of unlocking, [see...]. Figure 22 and 24 The third mating part 433 and the fourth mating part 453 drive the rotating paddle 43 to rotate. Compared with the initial mating with the first mating part 432, the lever arm is increased, which can better drive the rotating paddle 43 to rotate. Then, the fourth mating part 453 no longer contacts the third mating part 433, but the second mating part 452 contacts the first mating part 432 to continue driving the rotating paddle 43 to rotate, and finally the main locking tongue body 41 switches from the extended state to the retracted state.

[0130] In this embodiment, the first mating part 432 and the third mating part 433 are located on both sides of the lock cylinder lever 45, respectively. This arrangement results in a compact structure.

[0131] In this embodiment, the lock head lever 45 is slidably disposed on the lock housing 1.

[0132] like Figure 22 and 27 As shown, in this embodiment, the motor drive component 46 has teeth 462, which are used to cooperate with the motor assembly 6.

[0133] like Figure 22 and 27 As shown, in this embodiment, the motor assembly 6 includes:

[0134] The drive gear 61 is rotatably mounted on the lock housing 1, and the drive gear 61 meshes with the teeth 462 of the motor transmission component 46;

[0135] The drive motor 62 is used to drive the drive gear 61 to rotate.

[0136] like Figures 22-26As shown, in the embodiment, the latch assembly 3 has an extended state and a retracted state; the lock body further comprises:

[0137] The handle shaft 71 is rotatably installed on the lock housing 1 and is used for installing the handle; and

[0138] The handle push piece 72 is installed on the handle shaft 71 and can rotate relative to the handle shaft 71, the handle push piece 72 has a fifth matching part 721 and a sixth matching part 722, the fifth matching part 721 matches with the latch assembly 3 and is used for switching the latch assembly 3 from the extended state to the retracted state;

[0139] The lock head push piece 45 has an unlocking part 454, in the process of rotating the lock head cam 441 from the initial position to the unlocking position, the lock head cam 441 is in contact with the second pressure receiving part 451, drives the lock head push piece 45 to move, after the lock head push piece 45 moves, the unlocking part 454 abuts against the sixth matching part 722 to rotate the handle push piece 72, and finally switches the latch assembly 3 from the extended state to the retracted state through the fifth matching part 721 of the handle push piece 72.

[0140] Embodiment 2

[0141] As shown in FIGS. Figure 12 , 13 and 14, the difference between the embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that the buckle plate 2 has a limiting hole 21 for clamping the latch main body 31, and the buckle plate 2 further has a convex part 22 extending into the limiting hole 21; the tongue part 331 is completely embedded in the sliding groove 3111, and when the latch assembly 3 is in the door closing in place state, the latch main body 31 extends into the limiting hole 21 and the tongue part 331 is in contact with the convex part 22.

[0142] The tongue part 331 is completely embedded in the sliding groove 3111, which means that the tongue part 331 does not protrude from the sliding groove 3111, and this setting can not change the thickness of the lock body, that is, it will not increase the thickness of the lock body because the tongue part 331 protrudes from the sliding groove 3111.

[0143] Embodiment 3

[0144] As shown in FIGS. Figures 16-21 , the difference between the embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that the tongue part 331 has a convex block 3311 protruding from the sliding groove 3111 at the end away from the mounting part 332, and the lock housing 1 has a avoiding groove 111 for embedding the convex block 3311, and when the latch assembly 3 is in the door closing in place state, the convex block 3311 abuts against the buckle plate 2 and at least part of the convex block 3311 is embedded in the avoiding groove 111.

[0145] The tongue part 331 is thus set, which, compared with other structural forms, will not increase the thickness of the lock body and does not need to specially design the buckle plate 2.

[0146] In actual use, the avoiding groove 111 can be a non-penetrating structure or a penetrating structure.

[0147] As shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 In this embodiment, the convex block 3311 has a first guide surface 33111 which is inclined or arc-shaped near one side of the mounting portion 332, and the thickness of the convex block 3311 decreases as it is farther away from the sliding groove 3111. The avoiding groove 111 has a second guide surface 1111 which is adapted to the first guide surface.

[0148] The cooperation between the first guide surface 33111 and the second guide surface 1111 does not affect the embedding of the convex block 3311 into the avoiding groove 111 when the latch bolt assembly 3 is in the door-closed position, but can reduce the amount of material that needs to be removed from the lock housing 1 due to the setting of the avoiding groove 111, and can ensure the structural strength of the lock body. That is, if the first guide surface 33111 and the second guide surface 1111 are not set, the convex block 3311 is a block with a certain thickness, and in this case, a larger volume of avoiding groove 111 is needed, which will remove more material and affect the structural strength.

[0149] As shown in Figure 20 and 21 In this embodiment, the lock housing 1 includes a relatively fixed vertical plate 11 and a panel 12, the latch bolt body 31 and the latch bolt accessory 33 are arranged on the vertical plate 11, the avoiding groove 111 is located on the vertical plate 11, one end of the panel 12 near the vertical plate 11 has a notch 121, a reinforcing member 13 is fixed to the side of the vertical plate 11 facing the notch 121, the reinforcing member 13 is embedded in the notch 121, and the avoiding groove 111 corresponds to the position of the reinforcing member 13.

[0150] The setting of the reinforcing member 13 can enhance the structural strength of the vertical plate 11, prevent the problem of reduced structural strength of the vertical plate 11 due to the setting of the avoiding groove 111, and is particularly suitable for the case of a lock housing 1 with a relatively small width of the vertical plate 11.

[0151] The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the patent protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation, direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the protection scope of the present application.
