Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft lockers, and in particular to an aircraft double-trolley locker door lock. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of aviation technology, the design of aircraft interior facilities increasingly emphasizes lightweight, high reliability and easy operation. As an important functional component of the cabin, the door lock mechanism of the locker must meet the stringent requirements of aviation conditions: on the one hand, it must have anti-vibration and impact resistance to adapt to the flight environment; on the other hand, it must reduce the weight of the structure through a compact design, while taking into account the durability under frequent opening and closing.

[0003] However, the existing aircraft locker door lock technology still has the following outstanding problems:

[0004] 1. Structural complexity and maintenance difficulties

[0005] Traditional aircraft locker locks mostly use a single-sided bolt with an independent handle design, and their transmission mechanism relies on multi-stage gears or complex connecting rods, resulting in a large number of parts and high assembly precision requirements. This type of structure not only increases the weight of the lock body, but also easily becomes stuck due to component wear after frequent use. A large number of components need to be disassembled for maintenance, which seriously affects the efficiency of cabin equipment operation and maintenance.

[0006] 2. One-way locking and security limitations

[0007] Most existing locks are only equipped with one-way lock tongues, which causes concentrated force on the cabinet door when it is closed. During aircraft takeoff and landing or turbulence, the lock tongue on one side is easily deformed and failed due to excessive force, posing a risk of accidental opening of the cabinet door.

[0008] 3. Insufficient reset performance and durability

[0009] The handle reset of traditional locks mostly relies on a single spring structure, which is prone to spring fatigue after long-term use, resulting in delayed or stuck handle return. At the same time, the transmission mechanism lacks a buffer design, and the impact generated when the handle is quickly operated can easily cause the connecting rod to deform or the connector to loosen, further reducing the life of the lock.

[0010] 4. Aviation adaptability defects

[0011] Most existing locks use a common lock body structure and are not optimized for aviation scenarios. For example, the lock core is weakly protected and cannot resist collision with luggage or intrusion with tools; the material selection does not take into account both lightness and strength, resulting in a bulky lock body or insufficient impact resistance; in addition, the lack of modular design makes it impossible to quickly adapt to the installation requirements of cabinet doors of different sizes.

[0012] In view of the above problems, it is urgent to develop a double-trolley door lock specially used for aircraft lockers to meet the technical requirements of the aviation field for high-reliability locks. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Preferably, the transverse pull rod is linked with the pull rod connecting block at the rear end of the handle through a first fixed latch to convert the rotational movement of the handle into the horizontal linear movement of the transverse pull rod.

[0023] Preferably, the lock tongue assembly includes an upper lock block and a lower lock block symmetrically arranged. The upper lock block includes an upper lock tongue, which is hinged to the upper joint of the upper pull rod through a third fixed latch, and the upper pull rod is hinged to the lower joint of the upper pull rod through a second fixed latch to realize the lifting and locking of the lock tongue driven by the upper and lower pull rods.

[0024] Preferably, the rotating block is composed of a flat head shaft, a gasket, and an open pin for realizing multi-directional rotational connection, and the axial displacement of the rotating block is locked through a first fixed latch.

[0025] Preferably, a spring is sleeved outside the transverse pull rod for providing an elastic restoring force or absorbing movement impacts during the transmission process.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a double-rod locker door lock for an aircraft, the problem of stable locking in the prior art is solved. The lock core protection cover and the back main board form a double-layer protection, effectively resisting the intrusion of lock-picking tools. The door lock is provided with double handles, and a single handle controls the opening and closing of the single-side lock bolt, with a double locking function and a reliable internal structure.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the problem of stable locking in the above-mentioned locker, and the general idea is as follows:

[0046] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a double-rod locker door lock for an aircraft, including

[0047] a lock core mechanism, a housing assembly, a handle assembly link transmission mechanism, and a lock tongue assembly,

[0048] Lock core mechanism and housing assembly

[0049] The lock block 1 is the main frame of the overall lock structure, including a lock core protection cover 11, which is connected to the back main board 28 through a fixed screw 29. The protective cover covering the lock core is formed by the lock core protection cover 11 and the back main board 28. The back main board 28 has an outer lock disc 16 through screws, which is used as the base for fixing the upper and lower handles.

[0050] Handle assembly

[0051] The outer lock disc 16 is symmetrically provided with an upper handle 12 and a lower handle 14. The upper handle 12 and the lower handle 14 are rotatably mounted on the outer lock disc 16 through a handle rotating shaft 15. A handle spring 13 is built into the handle rotating shaft 15 to achieve automatic reset of the handle. Gaskets are provided at the positions where the handle rotating shaft 15 is mounted on both sides of the handle spring 13 to reduce rotational wear. The rotating block 19 includes a combination of a flat head shaft, a gasket and an opening pin. The first fixed bolt 18 is used to lock the rotating block 19.

[0052] Linkage mechanism

[0053] The back main board 28 is fixedly installed with a connecting shaft 23. A first connecting rod 24 and a second connecting rod 25 are rotatably connected through the connecting shaft 23 to form a linkage structure. Installation holes are provided at both ends of the first connecting rod 24 and the second connecting rod 25. The second connecting rod 25 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the upper and lower pull rods 4 through a rotating block 19. The other end of the first connecting rod 24 is rotatably installed with a transverse pull rod 26 through a rotating block 19. The transverse pull rod 26 is connected to the pull rod connecting block 17 at the rear end of the handle through a first fixed bolt 18 and moves horizontally along with the movement of the handle.

[0054] A spring 27 is sleeved outside the transverse pull rod 26 and is arranged in the transmission mechanism to assist in resetting or buffering.

[0055] Lock tongue assembly

[0056] The structures of the upper lock block 3 and the lower lock block are symmetrical. Taking the upper lock block 3 as an example:

[0057] The upper lock block 3 includes an upper lock tongue 31. The upper lock tongue 31 is connected to the upper joint 35 of the upper pull rod through a third fixed bolt 36 to achieve up and down movement;

[0058] The upper pull rod 4 is connected with a lower joint 21 of the upper pull rod through a second fixed bolt 20. The structure of the lower pull rod is the same. The following description will take the upper pull rod 4 as an example. The bushing 22 is sleeved on the end of the connecting shaft 23 to reduce rotational friction.

[0059] Working principle

[0060] Unlocking process: When the user presses down the upper handle 12, the pull rod connecting block 17 drives the transverse pull rod 26 to move horizontally to the right, compressing the spring 27; the transverse pull rod 26 pulls the first connecting rod 24 to swing clockwise around the connecting shaft 23, and the second connecting rod 25 swings counterclockwise accordingly, driving the upper pull rod 4 to move downward and the upper lock tongue 31 to retract; at the same time, the lower pull rod moves upward under the reverse linkage effect, and the lower lock tongue extends, completing unilateral unlocking and locking on the other side, which is applicable to two-way operation inside / outside the door.

[0061] Reset process: After releasing the handle, the handle spring 13 drives the upper handle 12 to return to its original position. The transverse pull rod 26 moves leftward with the assistance of the spring 27, driving the lock tongue to return to the initial locked state.

[0062] Operating handle: When the upper handle 12 or the lower handle 14 is toggled outwards, the rear end thereof pushes the connecting block 17 of the pull rod to move backward, driving the horizontal pull rod 26 to move horizontally backward.

[0063] Linkage drive: The horizontal pull rod 26 drives the first link 24 to rotate clockwise around the connecting shaft 23. Since the connecting shaft 23 is square, the second link 25 rotates synchronously, forcing the upper joint 35 of the upper pull rod to move downward.

[0064] Lock tongue control: The upper joint 35 of the upper pull rod drives the upper lock tongue 31 to move downward through the upper and lower pull rods 4 to release the locking of the cabinet door. After the handle is released, the handle spring 13 resets, and the lock tongue rebounds and closes.

[0065] To sum up:

[0066] Impact resistance and anti-theft: The lock core protection cover 11 and the back main board 28 form a double-layer protection, effectively resisting the intrusion of lock-picking tools. The door lock is provided with double handles, and each handle controls the opening and closing of the single-side lock bolt, with a double locking function. The internal structure is reliable and can be applied to various cabinet doors of the aircraft.

[0067] Smooth operation: The bushings 22 and the gaskets reduce the transmission friction, and the handle spring 13 and the spring 27 provide double reset forces to ensure that the handle returns quickly and without jamming.

[0068] Reliable two-way locking: The upper and lower lock tongues achieve synchronous reverse movement through the symmetric linkages, which meets the requirements of two-way locking of the door body, improves the safety, has high strength, and can better fix the high cabinet door.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
