[0028] During the locking or unlocking action, the motor 15 can drive the worm gear 16 to drive the locking swing arm 2 to swing in a linkage manner inside the vehicle; the lock cylinder rotating arm 52 can also be rotated by a key outside the vehicle, thereby driving the locking transmission arm 5 to move upward, and then the locking swing arm 2 is driven to swing by the locking transmission arm 5; in addition, the backup locking knob 131 can be directly rotated, and then the locking arm 3 is directly driven to swing through the backup locking block. The above three methods can all lock the door, providing users with a variety of ways to lock the door, and the above three locking methods all achieve locking of the door by driving the locking swing arm 2 or the locking arm 3 to swing, the locking structure is simple and more compact, and the locking or unlocking action is more accurate and fast.

[0029] An outward opening rocker arm 6 is provided in the housing 1, and the outward opening rocker arm 6 is located on the same side as the locking arm 3. One end of the outward opening rocker arm 6 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the lock body base 13, and the other end extends out of the housing 1, and the lock body base 13 and the front upper shell 11 are both provided with an opening slot for the outward opening rocker arm 6 to move. One end of the outward opening rocker arm 6 located outside the housing 1 is used to connect the outward opening pull rope, and then connected to the outward opening handle through the outward opening pull rope, so that the user can drive the outward opening rocker arm 6 to swing by pulling the outward opening handle outside the vehicle.

[0030] An outward opening push plate 61 is integrally formed at the middle section of the outward opening rocker arm 6, and the outward opening push plate 61 abuts against the outer wall of the locking protrusion 42 of the opening hook 4. When the outward opening rocker arm 6 swings, the locking protrusion 42 drives the opening hook 4 to move, thereby realizing the door opening action. An outward opening tension spring 62 is provided on the side of the outward opening rocker arm 6 away from the locking protrusion 42, one end of the outward opening tension spring 62 is connected to the inner wall of the lock body base 13, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the outward opening rocker arm 6, and the outward opening tension spring 62 is used to return the outward opening rocker arm 6 to the initial position.

[0031] An inner opening rocker arm 7 is provided inside the housing 1, and the inner opening rocker arm 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the front lower housing 12, and the rotation axis is parallel to the rotation axis of the locking rocker arm 2. An unlocking plate 71 and an inner opening clamping plate 72 are integrally formed on the inner opening rocker arm 7, and the inner opening clamping plate 72 and the unlocking plate 71 are both distributed in a divergent shape along the rotation axis of the inner opening rocker arm 7. One end of the inner opening rocker arm 7 extends out of the housing 1 for connection with the inner opening pull rope, and the inner opening pull rope is connected to the inner opening handle, so that pulling the inner opening handle can drive the inner opening rocker arm 7 to swing. An opening rocker arm 132 is provided on the side of the lock body base 13 close to the locking arm 3, and one end of the opening rocker arm 132 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the lock body base 13, and the rotation axis is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the inner opening rocker arm 7. The other end of the opening rocker arm 132 extends inward until it overlaps with the inner opening clamping plate 72, and the middle part of the opening rocker arm 132 is rotatably connected to the opening hook 4.

[0032] The locking swing arm 2 is integrally formed with an unlocking protrusion 24 on the circumferential side wall. The unlocking protrusion 24 is located on the swinging path of the unlocking plate 71. When the inner opening handle is pulled once, the inner opening rocker arm 7 swings and drives the unlocking plate 71 to swing along. At this time, the unlocking plate 71 can overlap with the unlocking protrusion 24 to drive the locking swing arm 2 to swing, thereby realizing the action of unlocking the door; when the inner opening handle is pulled again, the inner opening rocker arm 7 swings again. Since the locking arm 3 has swung to a state of being separated from the opening hook 4 at this time, the swinging of the inner opening card plate 72 can drive the opening rocker arm 132 to swing. After the opening rocker arm 132 swings, it can drive the opening hook 4 connected to it to slide, thereby realizing the action of opening the door. The inner opening rocker arm 7 is also provided with an inner opening torsion spring 73, which can return the inner opening rocker arm 7 to its initial position after the inner opening rocker arm 7 moves.

[0033] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In order to further improve the safety of the car door lock when in use, an auxiliary locking arm 8 is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the front lower shell 12, and the rotation axis is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the inner opening rocker arm 7. The auxiliary locking arm 8 can abut against the unlocking plate 71 after swinging to limit the movement of the unlocking plate 71 on the inner opening rocker arm 7, thereby limiting the unlocking function of the inner opening rocker arm 7, and an auxiliary locking wall torsion spring is also provided on the auxiliary locking arm 8, which has a similar function to other return torsion springs and can return the auxiliary locking arm 8 to its initial position, which will not be repeated here.

[0034] Furthermore, an electromagnet 9 is also provided on the inner wall of the front lower shell 12. The electromagnet 9 includes an auxiliary drive arm 91 and a movable part 92 that can be telescopically movable. The auxiliary drive arm 91 is fixed to the side of the electromagnet 9 away from the movable part 92. The movable part 92 can be fixed by suction with the end of the worm 16 after the electromagnet 9 is energized, so that the electromagnet 9 and the worm 16 are combined as a whole. At this time, the electromagnet 9 can drive the auxiliary drive arm 91 to rotate with the worm 16. The auxiliary locking arm 8 is integrally formed with an auxiliary drive plate 81 in the circumferential direction, so that the auxiliary locking arm 8 is L-shaped as a whole. In the initial state, the auxiliary drive arm 91 overlaps with the auxiliary drive plate 81. When the auxiliary drive arm 91 swings, it can drive the auxiliary drive plate 81 to swing. After the auxiliary drive plate 81 swings, it drives the auxiliary locking arm 8 to swing. After the auxiliary locking arm 8 swings, it overlaps with the unlocking plate 71. At this time, the unlocking plate 71 is restricted by the auxiliary locking arm 8 and cannot swing, so that the unlocking function of the inner opening rocker arm 7 fails.

[0035] At this time, when the inner opening rocker arm 7 is pulled in the car, the auxiliary locking arm 8 will limit the swing of the inner opening rocker arm 7 by abutting against the unlocking plate 71, so the door cannot be unlocked by pulling the inner handle in the car. The power supply of the electromagnet 9 can be directly controlled by the button on the main driver's side, or directly set in advance by the vehicle system. If the co-driver wants to unlock the door by pulling the inner opening handle during the driving process of the car, or the co-driver accidentally pulls the inner opening handle, the door will be directly unlocked. At this time, if the co-driver pulls the inner opening handle again, the door will be directly opened. This design allows the passenger on the co-driver to unlock and open the right door at will. In some extreme cases, there is a risk that the co-driver opens the door and falls out of the car. When the main driver needs to keep the co-driver passenger in the car all the time, he can actively press the button on the main driver's side to control the power supply of the electromagnet 9. At this time, the co-driver cannot unlock the door by pulling the inner opening handle, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidents.
