Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an anti-stuck structure of a lock of a storage box. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of society, people's demand for storage boxes is increasing, and the innovative design of storage box lock structure has become particularly urgent. The traditional storage box lock structure has some problems in use, such as slow response speed and easy to get stuck.

[0003] Traditional locks are usually connected to the box through a complex mechanical structure, which requires the coordinated cooperation of multiple components when unlocking. The lock can only be driven to lock or unlock after the coordinated work of multiple components such as the motor, the shift block, and the shift plate.

[0004] Moreover, in the prior art, due to the unreasonable arrangement of the micro switch, if the user locks the door too quickly, the paddle will reset faster. At this time, the paddle block has not stopped rotating (that is, the unlocking has not been completed, and the paddle is in a locked state). The paddle block and the paddle rotate synchronously, causing a jamming fault between the paddle block and the paddle. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a lock anti-jamming structure of a storage box in which a jamming situation will not occur between a paddle block and a paddle.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0070] Moreover, during the rotation process of the buckle plate 7, the fourth touch portion 72 of the buckle plate 7 touches the third touch portion 63 of the paddle, and under the tension of the tension spring 100, the buckle plate 7 drives the paddle to rotate to the initial position, and at the same time, the first touch portion 61 of the paddle contacts the control lever 81 of the micro switch 8, and the micro switch 8 sends a power-on signal to the control circuit board 10, and the control circuit board 10 turns on the power of the motor 4 to prepare for the next operation.

[0071] As mentioned above, since the micro switch 8 is controlled by the dial plate 6, when unlocking, the power-off speed of the micro switch 8 is earlier than the rotation unlocking speed of the buckle plate 7. Therefore, the user can lock the door immediately during the unlocking process, and there is no situation where the dial block 5 and the dial plate 6 rotate at the same time, that is, there will be no jamming phenomenon, which greatly improves the reliability and stability of the storage box.
