[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the practical embodiment to clearly and completely describe the technical solution in the practical embodiment. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the practical, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment in the practical, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this practical.

[0018] See also Figure 1-4The utility model provides an embodiment: an interlocking mechanism for a horizontal storage cabinet, comprising a first shell 1, a connecting member 2 is installed at the bottom end inside the first shell 1, a connecting rod 3 is slidably installed inside the first shell 1 through the connecting member 2, a gear 4 is provided at one end and the middle position of the outer surface of the connecting rod 3, a pull ring 5 is installed at the other end of the connecting rod 3, a second shell 6 and a third shell 7 are installed at one end and the middle position of the top of the first shell 1 respectively, a lock tongue 8 is slidably installed at the middle position of the bottom end of the second shell 6 and the third shell 7, a spring 9 is installed on the outer surface of the lock tongue 8, a rack 10 is installed at the bottom of the lock tongue 8, the gear 4 and the rack 10 are meshed, and the user rotates the pull ring 5 to drive the connecting rod 3 to rotate, thereby driving the gear 4 to rotate, so that the rack 10 can drive the lock tongue 8 to retract.

[0019] In this embodiment, a connecting hole is opened in the middle position of the other end of the first shell 1. The size of the connecting hole on the first shell 1 is adapted to the size of the connecting rod 3. The first shell 1 is slidingly connected to the connecting rod 3 through the connecting hole. The connecting rod 3 can be partially pulled out of the first shell 1 through the connecting hole, so that the gear 4 and the rack 10 can be separated.

[0020] In this embodiment, a through hole is opened at one end of the connecting member 2, and the size of the through hole on the connecting member 2 is adapted to the size of the connecting rod 3. The connecting member 2 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 3 through the through hole, and the connecting member 2 plays a role in limiting and supporting the connecting rod 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, circular holes are provided in the middle positions of the top and bottom of the second shell 6 and the third shell 7. The size of the circular holes on the second shell 6 and the third shell 7 is adapted to the size of the locking tongue 8. The second shell 6 and the third shell 7 are slidably connected to the locking tongue 8 through the circular holes, and the locking tongue 8 can be retracted into the second shell 6 and the third shell 7 through the circular holes.

[0022] In this embodiment, a clamp is provided at the top of the outer surface of the lock tongue 8, and the lock tongue 8 is clamped with the spring 9 through the clamp. When the spring 9 is compressed, the lock tongue 8 can be ejected from the second shell 6 and the third shell 7 through the clamp.

[0023] In this embodiment, the top of the lock tongue 8 is hemispherical. When the cabinet door is closed, the cabinet door can squeeze the lock tongue 8 because the top of the lock tongue 8 is hemispherical, so that the lock tongue 8 can be retracted into the second shell 6 and the third shell 7.

[0024] Working principle: when the user closes the cabinet door, the lock tongue 8 is squeezed by the cabinet door and retracted into the second shell 6 and the third shell 7, and then the lock tongue 8 bounces into the groove of the cabinet door through the groove provided on the cabinet door, so that the cabinet door can be locked. Regardless of whether the door of the horizontal storage cabinet is opened by flipping or pushing, self-locking can be achieved. When the user needs to open the door, the user can rotate the pull ring 5 to drive the connecting rod 3 to rotate, thereby driving the gear 4 to rotate, so that the rack 10 can drive the lock tongue 8 to retract, and the user can open the cabinet door.
