DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative implementation modes and descriptions of the present application are used to explain the present application, but are not intended to limit the present application.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 8 ,like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the present embodiment provides an electric door lock for an electric vehicle, comprising a lock shell 1, a lock core 2, a transmission shaft 3 and an electrical box terminal 7. The lock core 2 and the transmission shaft 3 are both installed in the lock shell 1, and the lock core 2 and the transmission shaft 3 rotate synchronously. A detachable rotating disk 4 is sleeved on the end of the transmission shaft 3 away from the lock core 2. The rotating disk 4 rotates synchronously with the transmission shaft 3. A synchronously rotating power transmission sheet 6 is provided on the rotating disk 4. The electrical box terminal 7 is engaged with the lock shell 1 to confine the rotating disk 4 in the lock shell 1. The power transmission sheet 6 is fitted with the electrical box terminal 7 by a corresponding first spring 5. The lock core 2 is controlled to rotate to drive the power transmission sheet 6 to rotate so that the power transmission sheet 6 contacts or separates with the contact pins of the electrical box terminal 7. At least one group of elastic limiting mechanisms 10 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating disk 4, and a plurality of convex ridges 11 are provided on the inner wall of the lock shell 1 to cooperate with the elastic limiting mechanism 10 to achieve the limiting of the rotating disk 4.

[0031] Specifically, both sides of the convex ridge 11 have arc-shaped guiding surfaces. When in the locked position, the elastic limiting mechanism 10 and the connected convex ridges 11 are in contact to achieve precise and stable positioning. The automatic guiding of the arc-shaped surface can reduce the matching accuracy between the rotating disk 4 and the transmission shaft 3, and between the transmission shaft 3 and the lock cylinder 2, and can avoid the shaking of the rotating disk 4 causing poor contact. The end surface of the rotating disk 4 has a corresponding blind hole that matches the first spring 5. The power transmission sheet 6 is in a strip shape. The first spring 5 that abuts against the power transmission sheet 6 has two strips, and the contact position of the first spring 5 corresponds to the contact position of the power transmission sheet 6, which improves the strength at the contact point and makes the electrical contact more stable and reliable. The elastic limiting mechanism 10 can also increase the force between the rotating disk 4 and the inner wall of the lock shell 1, and increase the connection effect between the rotating disk 4 and the lock shell 1. The power transmission sheet 6 is made of conductive metal.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the lock core 2 and the transmission shaft 3, as well as the rotating disk 4 and the transmission shaft 3, are connected by using the concave-convex parts. The rigid connection by using the concave-convex parts makes the linkage performance stable, and can match the lock core 2, the transmission shaft 3 and the rotating disk 4 of different sizes according to the electric door locks of different specifications, so that the parts of the products of different specifications have a certain commonality, reduce the types of parts, and make the electric door lock assembly simpler.

[0033] Specifically, the convex shaft portion of the concave-convex portion matching structure is a cylindrical shaft with two symmetrical sections cut on the cylindrical shaft, which simplifies processing and enables the parts to be installed symmetrically, making it convenient to install and use the parts on electric door locks in different directions.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, a symmetrical strip hole is provided at the center of the power transmission sheet 6, and the rotating disk 4 has a limit shaft 41 that is sleeved and matched with the strip hole. The shape of the limit shaft 41 is the same as the structure of the convex shaft part in the concave-convex part matching structure, and the limit shaft 41 can pass through the electrical box terminal 7 to prevent the power transmission sheet 6 from being separated from the limit shaft 41.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, a mounting hole is provided on the outer circumference of the rotating disk 4, and the elastic limiting mechanism 10 includes a second spring 101 and a ball 102 placed in the mounting hole, and the ball 102 is in conflict with the inner wall of the lock housing 1. The structure of the ball 102 and the second spring 101 is relatively durable, and the second spring 101 and the ball 102 can be directly purchased, which reduces the production cost, and the ball 102 has a better adaptive positioning effect when locking, and the rolling friction also reduces wear and has a long service life.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, a sector-shaped limiting protrusion 32 is further provided on the transmission shaft 3, and an arc surface matching the limiting protrusion 32 is provided on the inner wall of the lock housing 1. The limiting protrusion 32 can limit the rotation angle range of the transmission shaft 3, thereby limiting the rotation angle range of the rotating disk 4, and preventing the excessive rotation of the rotating disk 4 from causing the power transmission sheet 6 to accidentally contact the contact pins of the electrical box terminal 7, which is highly safe to use. The sector-shaped limiting protrusion 32 can improve the strength of the installation of the limiting protrusion 32 of the transmission shaft 3, and is not easy to deform.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, a static contact piece is provided on the electrical box terminal 7, one end of the static contact piece is plugged in and installed, and the other end of the static contact piece is bent to form a contact foot, and the angle between the bent end of the static contact piece and the end face of the electrical box terminal 7 is in the range of 15° to 30°.

[0038] Specifically, when connection is required, the transmission sheet 6 slides along the bent arm of the stationary contact sheet from the root to the raised portion. During the sliding process, the elastic force of the first spring 5 gradually increases, thereby making the electrical contact between the transmission sheet 6 and the contact pin more reliable.

A synchronously rotating power transmission piece 6 is provided on the rotating disk 4. The electrical box terminal 7 is engaged with the lock shell 1 to limit the rotating disk 4 in the lock shell 1. The power transmission piece 6 is fitted with the electrical box terminal 7 using a corresponding first spring 5. The power transmission piece 6 is driven to rotate by controlling the rotation of the lock core 2 so that the power transmission piece 6 contacts or separates with the contact pins of the electrical box terminal 7.

The wire pull slider 8 is slidably set in the slide groove of the lock shell 1, and the wire pull slider fixing plate 9 connected to the lock shell 1 by screws restricts the wire pull slider 8 in the slide groove. A notch 12 is provided on the side wall of the lock shell 1 corresponding to the slide groove position, and the toggle arm 31 of the transmission shaft 3 can pass through the notch 12 to toggle the wire pull slider 8 to slide to unlock the lock corresponding to the wire.
