[0014] Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the structure and use of the utility model are further described. Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a large hexagonal nut 14 is provided at the outer diameter thread of the base 11 of the tension lock, a raised outer flange is provided at the outer diameter of the top hole of the base, an internal serrated locking washer 13 and a waterproof gasket 12 are provided at the outer diameter thread above the large hexagonal nut of the base; the square hole of the steel bolt 15 is arranged at the square end of the locking rod 10 extending from the base, and an external hexagonal anti-loosening screw 16 is provided at the end of the locking rod at the square end. The outer diameter of the lock rod in the base is sleeved with a lock core 2, and the non-knurled pins 9 extending out of both sides of the lock rod are inserted into the S-slot 201 at one end of the lock core. The outer diameter of the spiral hole at the S-slot of the lock rod is sleeved with a shaft sleeve 4, and the end of the non-knurled pin extending out of the spiral hole at the lock core is simultaneously located at the L-shaped sleeve edge 401 at the bottom of the shaft sleeve. A lock rod spring 7 is provided in the groove at the bottom of the lock core in the base and the groove at the top of the lock rod. A raised ring rib platform 202 is provided on the outer diameter above the S-slot of the lock core in the base, and a dust cover spring 3 is provided on the outer diameter above the ring rib platform of the lock core in the base. The dust cover spring is abutted against the bottom of the dust cover 1 sleeved on the outer diameter of the other end of the lock core in the top hole of the base, and the waist-shaped grooves 101 on both sides of the dust cover are fixed to the top hole in the base through the single-head knurled pins 8 driven into the outer diameter on both sides of the base. A sealing ring 6 is provided in the sealing groove at the outer diameter of the ring rib platform of the lock core, and a wire retaining ring 5 is provided at the inner diameter of the base above the ring rib platform of the lock core. The outer diameter of the wire retaining ring is snap-fixed to the inner diameter of the base, and the ring rib platform of the lock core is limited to the inner diameter of the wire retaining ring; the inner diameter shape of the top opening of the dust cover corresponds to the outer diameter shape of the end boss of the lock core. When the key is inserted into the opening at the top of the base and the dust cover is pressed down to move below the boss at the end of the lock core, the lock core is unlocked and the lock core is driven to rotate by the key.
[0015] The inner diameter of the top opening of the dust cover is an inner octagon, and the outer diameter of the corresponding boss at the end of the lock core is an outer octagon. The outer octagonal outer diameter of the lock core fits with the inner octagonal inner diameter of the dust cover. The bottom of the dust cover where the dust cover fits with the lock core forms an annular groove, and the dust cover spring is inserted into the annular groove at the bottom of the dust cover at the outer diameter of the lock core in the base.
[0016] Unlocking: Insert the tool key into the dust cover. After pressing the specified stroke, the dust cover limiter will be separated from the locking surface of the lock core. The lock core will rotate 180° counterclockwise. After the lock rod steel bolt extends a specified distance, it will rotate 90° counterclockwise and disengage from the lock buckle structure welded on the cabinet body. The cabinet door is opened to unlock. Pull out the key, the dust cover pops up, and the lock core completes self-locking.
[0017] Locking: Press down the cabinet door, insert the tool key into the dust cover, and after pressing the specified stroke, the dust cover limiter will be separated from the locking surface of the lock core, the lock core will rotate 180° clockwise, and the lock rod steel bolt will shrink the specified distance and then rotate 90° clockwise, and the lock structure welded on the cabinet body will be tightened and locked. The cabinet door is tightened to lock, the key is pulled out, the dust cover pops up, and the lock core completes self-locking.
[0018] Therefore, the tension lock is a dust cover with a waist-shaped groove, and involves a lock core with a tool lock core-shaped boss, and the boss height is the unlocking height of the lock core; when unlocking the tension lock, the dust cover needs to be pressed down with a key to a certain stroke before the lock core can be rotated to complete the unlocking. If the dust cover does not reach the specified height, the tension lock cannot complete the unlocking or locking action and is in a self-locking state; the above is the unlocking and locking action of the lock, which can maximize the stability and reliability of the locking system and has an anti-foolproof function.
[0019] To sum up, the tension lock relates to the field of cabinet accessories and tools. It is a vibration-proof tension lock suitable for use in rail transit distribution cabinets. It is a tension lock that can achieve 100% self-locking through a dust cover. The structure has a traditional tension lock S-groove semi-enclosed vibration-proof structure, and also has a dust cover self-locking mechanism. The structure has been tested to meet the IP65 dust and water resistance level, which solves the problem of the current tension lock having the steel bolt automatically unlocking in scenarios with more vibrations.
