Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of locks, and in particular to a push-type lock used on a pickup truck cargo cover. Background Art

[0002] A pickup truck, also known as a sedan, is a special type of vehicle designed with an open bed specifically for carrying cargo. Due to this open design, items inside the bed can get wet in rainy or snowy weather. To address this issue, special covers have been designed for pickup truck beds. These covers can be installed to cover and protect the cargo inside, preventing them from getting wet.

[0003] While pickup truck hoods can protect items in the cargo bed from rain or snow, the open design of the cargo bed makes the goods vulnerable to theft. Consequently, people have begun considering installing locks to improve cargo security, such as the one disclosed in a prior patent (publication number CN221220102U) for a pickup truck cargo bed cover. However, when in use, the lock can only be unlocked from the outside (outside the cargo bed) by pressing the lock's pressing portion; it cannot be unlocked from the inside (inside the cargo bed). If someone is sitting in the cargo bed, the first lock cannot be unlocked from the inside (inside the cargo bed), making the lock extremely inconvenient to use.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 - Figure 8 A lock cavity 10 is provided on the lock shell 1, the opening of the lock cavity 10 faces outward, and a locking groove 11 is provided in the lock cavity 10; a mounting seat 12 is provided on the lock shell 1 and is located outside the locking groove 11. The mounting seat 12 is used to install and fix the lock at the position to be installed.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13The lock body 2 includes a hinged portion 20 hingedly connected to the lock housing 1, and a locking portion 21 and an operating portion 22 disposed at each end of the hinged portion 20. The hinged portion 20 is hingedly connected to the lock housing 1 via a hinge axis 203. A groove 201 is defined on the inner sidewall of the hinged portion 20. A torsion spring coil 202, which is connected to the hinge axis 203 and is coaxial with the hinge axis 203, is secured within the groove 201. The torsion spring coil 202 is coaxial with the hinge axis 203. The operating portion 22 has a mounting slot 220 extending through its opposing surfaces and communicating with the lock cavity 10.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12 The lock tongue 3 is hinged to the operating portion 22 of the lock body 2 via a hinge shaft 330, and the hinge shaft 330 is keyed to the mounting hole 33 on the lock tongue 3. The first end of the lock tongue 3 is integrally connected to a pressing portion 30 located in the mounting groove 220. The rotation of the pressing portion 30 is limited by the limiting portion 221 in the mounting groove 220, preventing the pressing portion 30 from excessively rotating around the hinge shaft 330 and affecting the use effect. The second end of the lock tongue 3 is integrally connected to a locking portion 31 that can be locked with the locking groove 11; the pressing portion 30 is used to disengage the locking portion 31 from the locking groove 11. In addition, the second end of the lock tongue 3 is also integrally connected to a driving portion 32 for driving the locking portion 31 to disengage the locking groove 11.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 13 The torsion spring 4 includes a coil portion 40 disposed on the hinge portion 20, a first shaft portion 41 connected and fixed to the lock tongue 3, and a second shaft portion 42 connected and fixed to the lock housing 1. Specifically, the coil portion 40 is sleeved on the torsion spring winding portion 202 of the hinge portion 20; the second shaft portion 42 of the torsion spring 4 is fixed to the torsion spring fixing portion 101 in the lock cavity 10.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pressing member 5 is slidably disposed on the side of the lock housing 1 facing away from the operating portion 22. The pressing member 5 is used to push the driving portion 32 of the lock tongue 3, driving the locking portion 31 to disengage from the locking groove 11. When the locking portion 31 and the locking groove 11 are in a locked state, the torsion spring 4 is in an energy-storing state. When the pressing portion 30 is pressed or the pressing member 5 is released to unlock the locking portion 31, the lock body 2 rotates around the lock housing 1 under the kinetic energy provided by the torsion spring 4, causing the operating portion 22 to open the lock cavity 10 and unlock the locking portion 21.

[0056] As an application scenario, when the push-type lock of this embodiment is installed on the cargo box cover of a pickup truck, the mounting seat 12 is fixed on the cargo box cover, and the pressing portion 30 is located outside the cargo box of the pickup truck, and the pressing component 5 is located inside the cargo box of the pickup truck; when the lock is in the locked state, the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 is engaged with the locking groove 11, the torsion spring 4 is in the energy storage state, the operating portion 22 covers the lock cavity 10, and the locking portion 21 is in the locked state; when the lock needs to be unlocked from the outside, the pressing portion 30 of the lock is pressed to drive the lock tongue 3 to rotate, so that the lock tongue 3 The locking portion 31 disengages from the locking groove 11, and the lock body 2 rotates around the lock shell 1 under the kinetic energy provided by the torsion spring 4, so that the operating portion 22 opens the lock cavity 10 and the locking portion 21 is unlocked, thereby completing the action of unlocking the lock from the outside; when the lock needs to be unlocked from the inside, by pressing the pressing component 5 of the lock, the driving portion 32 of the lock tongue 3 is pushed, driving the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 to disengage from the locking groove 11, and the lock body 2 rotates around the lock shell 1 under the kinetic energy provided by the torsion spring 4, so that the operating portion 22 opens the lock cavity 10 and the locking portion 21 is unlocked, thereby completing the action of unlocking the lock from the inside.

[0057] It can be seen from this that the push-type lock of the present invention can be unlocked by pressing from the outside or from the inside, overcoming the defect that the existing push-type lock can usually only be unlocked by pressing from the outside but not from the inside when in use.

[0058] It should be noted that the locked state of the lock refers to the state in which the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 is engaged with the locking groove 11 , and the unlocked state of the lock refers to the state in which the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 is disengaged from the locking groove 11 .

[0059] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pressing component 5 includes a pressing rod 50 and a pressing head 51. The outer diameter of the pressing head 51 is larger than the outer diameter of the pressing rod 50. The first end of the pressing rod 50 extends into the lock cavity 10, and the second end of the pressing rod 50 is located outside the lock cavity 10. Of course, the pressing rod 50 can slide relative to the lock housing 1. The pressing head 51 is provided at the second end of the pressing rod 50. The pressing head 51 is used to press the pressing rod 50 to slide relative to the lock housing 1, so as to drive the locking portion 31 to disengage from the locking groove 11. It can be seen from this that when the lock needs to be unlocked from the inside, by pressing the pressing rod 50, the pressing rod 50 pushes the driving portion 32 of the lock tongue 3, so as to drive the locking portion 31 to disengage from the locking groove 11.

[0060] In addition, refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12The first end of the pressing rod 50 is provided with a limiting portion 501 located within the lock cavity 10. The limiting portion 501 is coaxially arranged with the pressing rod 50 and is used to prevent the pressing rod 50 from disengaging from the lock cavity 10, thereby facilitating the pressing rod 50 to drive the locking portion 31 out of the locking groove 11. In addition, the first end of the pressing rod 50 is provided with a conical structure 502. The driving portion 32 is provided with an inclined surface 320 facing the pressing rod 50. The conical surface of the conical structure 502 is adapted to slide and adapt with the inclined surface 320. When the pressing rod 50 is manually pushed toward the driving portion 32, the force exerted by the conical surface of the conical structure 502 on the inclined surface 320 causes the lock tongue 3 to rotate about the hinge shaft 330, thereby causing the locking portion 31 to disengage from the locking groove 11.

[0061] In order to automatically reset the pressing rod 50 , a pressing rod reset assembly is provided on the lock housing 1 .

[0062] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The push rod reset assembly includes a mounting plate 52, a spring 53, and a sleeve 54. The mounting plate 52 can be fixed to the lock housing 1 by screws; the sleeve 54 is fixed to the mounting plate 52 along its thickness direction; the first end of the push rod 50 slides through the sleeve 54 and the mounting plate 52 in sequence along the axial direction of the sleeve 54 to enter the lock cavity 10; the push rod 50 is sleeved with a positioning portion 503 located within the sleeve 54, and the positioning portion 503 is coaxial with the push rod 50; the spring 53 is sleeved on the push rod 50, located within the sleeve 54, and the two ends of the spring 53 respectively abut against the mounting plate 52 and the positioning portion 503. When the user presses the above-mentioned pressing head 51 inside (inside the pickup truck cargo bed), the push rod 50 pushes the driving portion 32 of the lock tongue 3 to drive the locking portion 31 out of the locking groove 11, and the push rod 50 is reset under the elastic force of the spring 53.

[0063] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 14 The lock core 6 is rotatably mounted on the operating portion 22 of the lock body 2. The lock core 6 is a commonly used key lock core 6. The lock core 6 is used to prevent or unlock the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 from disengaging from the locking groove 11. An unlocking groove 60 is provided on the lock core 6. When the lock core 6 is rotated by the key, the unlocking groove 60 on the lock core 6 faces the corresponding drive portion 32. At this time, the lock core 6 does not block the rotation of the drive portion 32, so that the lock core 6 is in an unlocked state. When the lock core 6 is rotated by the key, the unlocking groove 60 on the lock core 6 is misaligned with the drive portion 32, that is, the peripheral wall of the lock core 6 blocks the rotation of the drive portion 32, and the lock core 6 is in a locked state.

[0064] It should be noted that the lock core 6 being in the unlocked state means that the lock core 6 does not prevent the locking portion 31 from escaping the locking groove 11 ; the lock core 6 being in the locked state means that the lock core 6 prevents the locking portion 31 from escaping the locking groove 11 .

[0065] When the lock core 6 is in the locked state, no matter whether the pressing portion 30 is pressed from the outside or the pressing rod 50 is pressed from the inside, the lock tongue 3 cannot be driven to rotate, that is, the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 cannot be disengaged from the locking groove 11, and thus the lock of this embodiment cannot be unlocked.

[0066] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 15 The locking knob 7 can be rotatably mounted on the lock housing 1 via a bearing. The locking knob 7 is located on the side of the lock housing 1 facing away from the operating portion 22. The locking knob 7 is used to prevent the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 from being disengaged from the locking groove 11. The locking knob 7 and the lock core 6 are independent of each other. When the locking knob 7 prevents the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 from being disengaged from the locking groove 11, the lock core 6 cannot unlock the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 from being disengaged from the locking groove 11. In other words, it can be understood that when the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 is locked from the locking groove 11 by the locking knob 7 internally, the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 cannot be unlocked from the locking groove 11 from the outside by pressing the pressing portion 30 of the lock or rotating the lock core 6 with a key.

[0067] The first end of the locking knob 7 is located in the lock cavity 10, and the second end of the locking knob 7 is located outside the lock cavity 10. When the second end of the locking knob 7 is rotated, the second end of the locking knob 7 is configured as a knob portion 702, so that the first end of the locking knob 7 abuts against the driving portion 32, the locking knob 7 is in a locked state; when the second end of the locking knob 7 is rotated so that the first end of the locking knob 7 is misaligned with the driving portion 32, the locking knob 7 is in an unlocked state. Specifically, it can be understood that the first end of the locking knob 7 has a locking block portion 70, which is a square structure and has a locking end 701. When the second end of the locking knob 7 is manually rotated, the locking end 701 on the locking block portion 70 rotates toward the driving portion 32 of the lock tongue 3. The locking block portion 70 of the locking knob 7 blocks the driving portion 32 of the lock tongue 3 from rotating. At this time, whether pressing the above-mentioned pressing portion 30 from the outside or pressing the above-mentioned pressing rod 50 from the inside cannot drive the lock tongue 3 to rotate, that is, it is impossible to unlock the locking portion 31 from the locking groove 11. Even if the lock core 6 is in the unlocked state, pressing the above-mentioned pressing portion 30 from the outside cannot drive the lock tongue 3 to rotate, that is, it is impossible to unlock the locking portion 31 from the locking groove 11. In this case, the only way to unlock the locking portion 31 from the locking groove 11 is to unlock the locking knob 7 from the inside and press the above-mentioned pressing rod 50.

[0068] It should be noted that the locking knob 7 is in a locked state, which means that the locking end 701 of the locking knob 7 is facing the driving part 32 of the lock tongue 3, so that the locking block part 70 of the locking knob 7 blocks the rotation of the lock tongue 3; the locking knob 7 is in an unlocked state, which means that the locking end 701 of the locking knob 7 is misaligned with the driving part 32 of the lock tongue 3, and the locking block part 70 does not block the rotation of the lock tongue 3.

[0069] In addition, finger gripping portions 703 are provided on opposite sides of the second end of the locking knob 7 , and the finger gripping portions 703 can facilitate the user to grip the locking knob 7 with their fingers to rotate it.

[0070] The working principle of the push-type lock of the present invention is as follows:

[0071] When the lock core 6 and the locking knob 7 are both in the locked state, the pressing portion 30 of the lock is pressed from the outside or the pressing rod 50 of the lock is pressed from the inside, driving the lock tongue 3 to rotate, causing the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 to disengage the locking groove 11. At this time, the lock body 2 rotates around the lock housing 1 under the kinetic energy provided by the torsion spring 4, and the lock tongue 3 and lock core 6 also rotate with the lock body 2, causing the operating portion 22 to open the lock cavity 10 and unlock the locking portion 21, thereby completing the unlocking action of the lock. When the lock needs to be locked, the user manually pushes the operating portion 22 of the lock body 2 from the outside, causing the lock body 2 to rotate around the hinge axis 203, and the lock tongue 3 and lock core 6 also rotate with the lock body 2 until the locking portion 31 on the lock tongue 3 is engaged in the locking groove 11, completing the locking action of the lock.

[0072] In summary, it can be seen that the push-type lock of the present invention can be unlocked by pressing from the outside or from the inside; the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 can be locked or unlocked from the locking groove 11 by rotating the lock cylinder 6 with a key from the outside; the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 can be locked or unlocked from the locking groove 11 by the locking knob 7 from the inside; when the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 is locked and disengaged from the locking groove 11 by the locking knob 7 from the inside, the locking portion 31 of the lock tongue 3 cannot be unlocked from the outside to disengage from the locking groove 11 by pressing the pressing portion 30 of the lock from the outside and rotating the lock cylinder 6 by the key, thereby greatly improving the safety performance of the lock.
