Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of door lock technology for new energy electric vehicles, and in particular to a silent door lock for the M8 new energy electric vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Door locks for new energy electric vehicles are core body components that integrate mechanical locking mechanisms, electronic control modules, and multi-mode unlocking functions. They must simultaneously meet the basic requirements of reliable door locking and safe opening, as well as the advanced requirements of new energy vehicles for intelligent interaction, cabin quietness, and compact door space layout. They are a key point connecting vehicle safety systems and user experience.

[0003] However, the traditional door locks widely used in the current new energy electric vehicle field, taking the mainstream 502 lock body as an example, have separate electronic locking devices and mechanical lock bodies, which need to be installed in different positions on the car door. They are connected by long-distance wiring harnesses and fixed by additional brackets. This not only results in a loose structure, but also occupies a large amount of space in the depth of the car door. It is easy to cause layout conflicts with high-voltage wiring harnesses, audio modules and other components in the new energy vehicle door. Moreover, the electronic and mechanical parts need to be debugged and troubleshooted separately, which is cumbersome and inefficient. In addition, traditional lock bodies can only meet the basic door opening and closing requirements and cannot integrate multi-mode unlocking functions in a limited space. Facing the space differences of different models and the intelligent entry requirements of new energy vehicles, they need to be significantly modified to adapt, resulting in poor compatibility and flexibility. Therefore, this invention provides a new energy electric vehicle M8 silent door lock. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0020] refer to Figures 1-14As shown, a silent door lock for an M8 new energy electric vehicle includes an integrated door lock assembly 1. The door lock assembly 1 integrates an electronically controlled locking device 3, a multi-mode transmission component, a ratchet locking component 4, and a silent component 5.

The electronically controlled locking device 3, the multi-mode transmission component, the ratchet locking component 4, and the silent component 5 are all integrated into the closed cavity, and an external protective bracket 11 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the door lock assembly 1. Through the integrated design, the core components can be integrated into the closed cavity, which can significantly reduce the space occupied inside the door. The external protective bracket 11 can improve the overall strength of the lock body and avoid layout conflicts with the high-voltage wiring harness, audio module, etc. inside the door.

[0021] refer to Figures 1-14 As shown, the electronically controlled locking device assembly 3 includes a motor 301, a worm gear 302, a large gear 303, and a sliding arm 304. The motor 301 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the motor cover 103. The worm gear 302 is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the motor 301. The large gear 303 is rotatably connected to the front side of the motor cover 103 and meshes with the worm gear 302. The door lock assembly 1 has a pin assembly 10 inside. The pin assembly 10 includes a pin with plastic coating 101 and a micro switch 102. Both the pin with plastic coating 101 and the micro switch 102 are located inside the door lock assembly 1. Both the plastic-coated pin 101 and the micro switch 102 are electrically connected to the motor 301. The motor 301, worm gear 302, and large gear 303 form a high-efficiency reduction drive mechanism, which can increase torque while reducing operating noise. The plastic-coated pin 101 enables a fast and reliable connection with the vehicle's electronic control system. The micro switch 102 provides real-time feedback on the lock body status, ensuring the accuracy of the four-door linkage. The three components are electrically connected to form a closed-loop control, improving the response speed and reliability of electronic unlocking and locking.

[0022] refer to Figures 1-14 As shown, the sliding arm 304 is slidably connected to the front side of the motor cover 103 and located behind the large gear 303. The large gear 303 has symmetrically arranged connecting protrusions 308 on its rear side. The sliding arm 304 has a connecting groove 309 adapted to the connecting protrusions 308 on its front side. The sliding arm 304 has a limiting hole 6 on the side near the large gear 303. The large gear 303 has a support shaft 7 rotatably connected to its rear side via a bearing. One end of the support shaft 7 passes through the limiting hole 6 and is fixed to the motor cover 103. By matching the connecting protrusions 308 and the connecting groove 309, stable transmission between the large gear 303 and the sliding arm 304 can be achieved. By matching the support shaft 7 with the limiting hole 6, the movement trajectory of the sliding arm 304 is restricted, thus avoiding deviation and jamming, and ensuring that the electric drive is transmitted to the subsequent transmission components.

[0023] refer to Figures 1-14 As shown, the multi-mode transmission assembly includes an outward-opening transmission unit, an inward-opening transmission unit, and a lock cylinder transmission unit. The outward-opening transmission unit includes a protruding support column 201, an outward-opening plate 202, an adapter plate 203, an opening plate 205, and a connecting rod 207. The protruding support column 201 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the upper cover 102. The outward-opening plate 202 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the protruding support column 201. The adapter plate 203 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the outward-opening plate 202.

A limiting post 305 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the sliding arm 304. A straight slot 306 is provided on the top surface of the end of the connecting rod 207 away from the adapter plate 203. The bottom end of the limiting post 305 passes through the straight slot 306, and a limiting protruding ear plate 307 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer surface of its bottom end. Through the integration of the multi-mode transmission components, three unlocking paths are provided to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. The outer opening plate 202 can be connected to an external handle. The protruding support column 201 facilitates the stable installation of the outer opening plate 202 and the adapter plate 203. The sliding cooperation between the limiting hole 206 and the connecting rod 207, and between the straight slot 306 and the limiting post 305, enables flexible power transmission. The limiting protruding ear plate 307 prevents the connecting rod 207 from falling off, ensuring the reliability of the transmission link.

[0024] refer to Figures 1-14 As shown, the outward-opening transmission unit also includes a direct-push small wrench 208 and a small wrench torsion spring 209. The direct-push small wrench 208 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the upper cover 102, with one end in contact with the outward-opening plate 202. The bottom surface of the direct-push small wrench 208 is provided with a small wrench torsion spring 209. An opening plate torsion spring 204 is provided between the outward-opening plate 202 and the bottom housing 101. One end of the opening plate torsion spring 204 is fixed to the bottom surface of the outward-opening plate 202, and the other end is in contact with the inner sidewall of the bottom housing 101. The inward-opening transmission unit includes an inward-opening plate 801 and an inward-opening plate torsion spring 802. The inward-opening plate 801 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the motor upper cover 103. The rear side of the motor upper cover 103 is provided with an inward-opening plate torsion spring 802. The inner opening torsion spring 802 has one end fixed to the motor cover 103 and the other end fixed to the inner opening plate 801. One end of the inner opening plate 801 contacts the side of the adapter plate 203. The push-to-unlock small wrench 208 can be used to push and unlock. The push-to-unlock small wrench 208 can be used to press and unlock. The torsion spring 209 and the opening plate torsion spring 204 can ensure that the components quickly reset after action to avoid jamming. The contact between the inner opening plate 801 and the adapter plate 203 can realize efficient transmission of the inner opening action. At the same time, the inner opening plate torsion spring 802 can ensure the initial position of the inner opening plate 801.

[0025] refer to Figures 1-14 As shown, the lock cylinder transmission unit includes a lock cylinder bracket 12, a transmission connecting rod 13, and a lock cylinder torsion spring 14. The lock cylinder bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the upper cover 102, and the transmission connecting rod 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the sliding arm 304. One end of the lock cylinder bracket 12 is in contact with the transmission connecting rod 13, and one end of the lock cylinder torsion spring 14 is fixed to the motor base 104, while the other end is fixed to the top surface of the lock cylinder bracket 12. By cooperating with the transmission connecting rod 13, the power connection between mechanical key unlocking and electronic unlocking can be realized. Furthermore, the lock cylinder torsion spring 14 can ensure that the lock cylinder bracket 12 resets after its action. This ensures that mechanical unlocking and electronic unlocking do not interfere with each other, and improves the compatibility of the lock body with different unlocking methods.

[0026] refer to Figures 1-14 As shown, the ratchet locking assembly 4 includes a pawl 401, a ratchet 402, a first pawl torsion spring 403, and a second pawl torsion spring 404. The pawl 401 and ratchet 402 are rotatably connected to the inside of the bottom housing 101 and mesh with each other. One end of the first pawl torsion spring 403 is fixed to the pawl 401, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom housing 101. One end of the second pawl torsion spring 404 is fixed to the ratchet 402, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom housing 101. A control wheel rivet 405 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the ratchet 402. A straight groove limiting hole 40 is provided on the top surface of the upper cover 102. 6. One end of the control wheel rivet 405 passes through the straight groove limiting hole 406 and contacts the opening piece 205; the engagement of the pawl 401 and the ratchet 402 is the core of locking and unlocking. The pawl torsion spring 1 403 and the pawl torsion spring 2 404 can respectively ensure the accuracy of their reset, ensuring reliable locking and smooth unlocking. The cooperation between the control wheel rivet 405 and the opening piece 205 can realize the centralized transmission of multi-mode transmission signals to the locking core. The straight groove limiting hole 406 can limit the rotation stroke of the ratchet 402.

[0027] refer to Figures 1-14 As shown, the noise reduction component 5 includes a first rubber pad 501, a ratchet buffer pad 502, and a second rubber pad 503. The first rubber pad 501 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom housing 101. The ratchet buffer pad 502 is located on the inner wall of the first rubber pad 501 and on the side of the ratchet 402. The second rubber pad 503 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom housing 101. By blocking the ratchet 401 and the second rubber pad 503, the vibration inside the lock body can be transmitted to the door sheet metal, avoiding resonance noise. By absorbing the impact energy when the pawl 401 and the ratchet 402 are engaged, the metal collision noise can be reduced, which can significantly reduce the noise during the opening and closing of the door.

[0028] refer to Figures 1-14As shown, a child lock assembly 9 is provided on the rear side of the motor cover 103. The child lock assembly 9 includes a child lock bracket 901, a child lock bracket torsion spring 902, and a connecting lever 904. The child lock bracket 901 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the motor cover 103. The child lock bracket torsion spring 902 is provided on the rear side of the motor cover 103. One end of the child lock bracket torsion spring 902 is fixed to the motor cover 103, and the other end is fixed to the child lock bracket 901. A limit hole 903 is provided on the rear side of the motor cover 103 for connecting... The toggle lever 904 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the sliding arm 304, with one end passing through the interior of the limiting hole 903 and contacting the child lock bracket 901. The child lock assembly 9 enables child safety protection. By connecting the toggle lever 904 and the child lock bracket 901, the movement of the sliding arm 304 controls the child lock switch. The torsion spring 902 of the child lock bracket ensures the stability of the child lock. The limiting hole 903 restricts the range of motion of the connecting toggle lever 904 to prevent accidental triggering.

[0029] Working principle: During normal use, when the vehicle receives locking signals from the remote key, in-car buttons, etc., the pin 101 transmits a signal to the motor 301. The motor 301 starts and drives the large gear 303 to rotate via the worm gear 302 at the drive end. At this time, the large gear 303 engages with the connecting groove 309 of the sliding arm 304 through the rear connecting protrusion 308, driving the sliding arm 304 to slide away from the adapter piece 203. When the sliding arm 304 moves, the limiting post 305 on the bottom surface can drive the connecting rod 207 away from the adapter piece 203. At this time, the connecting rod 207 and the adapter piece 203 are completely disengaged. Even if a person pulls the door handle to rotate the outer opening piece 202, or presses the small door handle, the door will still be locked. When the wrench 208 triggers the adapter plate 203, the adapter plate 203 cannot be linked with the connecting rod 207 when it rotates. At this time, the opening plate 205 cannot be driven, and the ratchet 402 remains stationary. Under the action of the first pawl torsion spring 403 and the second pawl torsion spring 404, the pawl 401 and the ratchet 402 are always precisely engaged, and the door cannot be opened, thus achieving reliable locking. At the same time, the connecting lever 904 in the child lock assembly 9 moves synchronously with the sliding arm 304, triggering the child lock bracket 901 to maintain a safe locking state. The rubber pads 501 and 503 of the noise reduction assembly 5 and the ratchet buffer pad 502 absorb the vibration and impact energy generated by the motor operation and component movement throughout the process, greatly reducing the noise during the locking process.

[0030] When the vehicle receives unlocking signals from the remote key, in-vehicle buttons, etc., the motor 301 starts in reverse, driving the sliding arm 304 to slide closer to the adapter plate 203 via the worm gear 302 and the large gear 303. At this time, as the sliding arm 304 moves, the limiting post 305 acts as a pivot, causing one end of the connecting rod 207 to engage with the adapter plate 203, thus connecting the transmission link. Then, a person can pull the outer opening plate 202 to rotate or press the push-pull wrench 208 to trigger the adapter plate 203, causing the outer opening plate 202 and adapter plate 203 to rotate synchronously. The adapter plate 203 pushes the connecting rod 207, driving the opening plate 205 to rotate with the limiting post 305 as the pivot. When a person triggers the inner opening plate 801 to rotate, the inner opening... The plate 801 pushes the adapter plate 203 to rotate, which in turn drives the opening plate 205 to rotate through the connecting rod 207. When the person drives the lock cylinder bracket 12 to rotate, the lock cylinder bracket 12 pushes the sliding arm 304 to stay close to the adapter plate 203 through the transmission connecting rod 13. At the same time, the adapter plate 203 is linked, which finally drives the opening plate 205 to rotate. After the opening plate 205 rotates, it will push the control wheel rivet 405, so that the ratchet 402 overcomes the elastic force of the pawl torsion spring 404 and rotates. The pawl 401 is disengaged under the drive of the ratchet 402, and the door is unlocked. The micro switch 102 provides real-time feedback on the unlocking status to ensure the coordinated linkage of the four doors. The noise reduction component 5 can continuously absorb the noise of the action to ensure a smooth and quiet unlocking process. The device uses a reduction mechanism consisting of a worm gear 302 and a large gear 303 to convert the rotational power of the motor 301 into the linear motion of the sliding arm 304, thus switching the transmission link on and off. The multi-mode transmission component acts as a signal hub, and through the position switching of the sliding arm 304, it unifies the manual signals of the external pull handle, push handle, internal latch handle, and mechanical key, as well as the electric signals of the electronic unlocking, into the linkage action of the adapter plate 203, connecting rod 207, and opening plate 205. The limit post 305 acts as a pivot, ensuring the rotation trajectory of the connecting rod 207 and preventing deviation and jamming. The ratchet locking component 4 acts as the execution core, and through the engagement and disengagement of the pawl 401 and the ratchet 402, it completes the switching of the door lock's locking and unlocking states. The whole device achieves the effects of multi-mode unlocking, reliable locking, and silent operation in a compact space through an integrated design.
