The main bolt 41 is slidably connected to the slide groove 31 of the mounting plate 3. The main bolt 41 includes a bolt seat 411 and a main body 412, which is responsible for directly locking the cabinet door. The movable shaft 43 is rotatably connected to the bolt seat 411 and is connected to the movable bottom plate 44 at the same time, so as to achieve the synchronous movement of the movable bottom plate 44 and the main bolt 41. The two rocker arms 42 are symmetrically distributed on the lock seat 1 with the moving direction of the main bolt 41 as the center line, and the rocker arms 42 are rotatably connected to the lock seat 1. One end of the rocker arm 42 extends into the slide groove 31 and is connected to the movable shaft 43 to achieve linkage with the main bolt 41.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , 3 The movable bottom plate 44 is slidably connected to the slide groove 31 and is located between the lock base 1 and the lock tongue base 411. Furthermore, the lock base 1 is provided with an opening 11 connected to the slide groove 31, and the end of the movable bottom plate 44 close to the handle 2 is provided with an unlocking block 443 extending toward the opening 11, and the end of the handle 2 close to the movable bottom plate 44 is fixed with a push block 21, and the push block 21 is located on the movable path of the unlocking block 443. When the handle 2 is opened outward, the push block 21 can push the unlocking block 443, so that the movable bottom plate 44 moves with the main lock tongue 41 toward the unlocking direction.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 The movable bottom plate 44 is located at one end of the unlocking block 443 and is provided with a blocking hook 444 bent toward a direction away from the opening 11 . The blocking hook 444 extends into the lock tongue seat 411 to limit the lock tongue seat 411 to prevent the lock tongue seat 411 from escaping from the slide groove 31 .

[0052] Reference Figure 3 , 4 A guide hole 32 connected to the slide slot 31 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 3 away from the lock base 1. The guide hole 32 extends along the moving direction of the main lock tongue 41. A limiting hole 442 extending along the moving direction of the main lock tongue 41 is provided on the movable bottom plate 44. Both ends of the movable shaft 43 are respectively located between the limiting hole 442 and the guide hole 32. When the movable bottom plate 44 is locked, the limiting hole 442 can provide a moving space for the movable shaft 43, so that the user can push the main lock tongue 41 to retract into the slide slot 31.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 , 5The rocker arm 42 includes two connecting pieces 421 and a rivet 422, one of the connecting pieces 421 is provided with a waist hole 4211 for connecting with the movable shaft 43; the other connecting piece 421 is provided with a connecting hole 4212. The rivet 422 passes through the middle of the rocker arm 42 and is fixed on the lock seat 1. The rocker arm 42 also includes a sleeve 423 coaxially sleeved on the rivet 422. The rocker arm 42 is limited between the rivet 422 and the sleeve 423, and the rocker arm 42 can rotate around the axis of the rivet 422. The mounting plate 3 is provided with a movable hole 33 for the connecting piece 421 to extend into the slide slot 31. The connecting pieces 421 of the two rocker arms 42 extend into the slide slot 31 respectively, and are movably connected with the movable shaft 43 through the waist hole 4211.

[0054] The connection hole 4212 on the connecting piece 421 can be used to connect with the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected to the auxiliary lock tongues installed at both ends of the cabinet door. When unlocking is required, the user pulls the handle 2 outward, and the handle 2 drives the movable bottom plate 44 to move toward the unlocking direction through the push block 21. The movement of the movable bottom plate 44 drives the main lock tongue 41 to move together. At the same time, the rocker arm 42 rotates accordingly under the drive of the movable shaft 43, so that the connecting piece 421 at one end of the rocker arm 42 away from the movable shaft 43 shrinks toward the direction of the slide groove 31, and moves with the connecting rod, thereby releasing the locking state of the auxiliary lock tongue and the main lock tongue 41.

[0055] Reference Figure 5 The rivet 422 is a stepped structure with a gradually decreasing inner diameter. The riveted section at the end of the rivet 422 passes through the mounting plate 3 and is riveted to the lock seat 1. The step between the middle end of the rivet 422 and the riveted section tightly fixes the mounting plate 3 to the lock seat 1. A limit buckle 12 for inserting the mounting plate 3 is also fixed to the inner side of the lock seat 1. During installation, the mounting plate 3 is first inserted into the limit buckle 12 for positioning, and then passed through the rivet 422 for anchoring.

[0056] Reference Figure 6 An elastic member 6 is installed in the slide groove 31 for driving the main lock tongue 41 to move toward the locked state. Specifically, a downwardly bent rib 34 is provided at one end of the slide groove 31 away from the main lock tongue 41. In this embodiment, a spring is selected as the elastic member 6. One end of the spring abuts against the rib 34 at the bottom of the slide groove 31, and the other end abuts against the lock tongue seat 411. When the handle 2 is not subjected to external force, the spring is in a compressed state, and the main lock tongue 41 is pushed to the locked position by elastic force, thereby realizing automatic locking of the cabinet door.

[0057] Reference Figure 7 , 8The lock body assembly 5 includes a lock core seat 51, a lock core 52, a shift block 53, a lock body nut 54, a lock cap 55 and a screw 56. The lock core seat 51 passes through the lock cap 55 and the lock base 1 in sequence, and then is locked on the lock base 1 by the lock body nut 54. The lock core 52 is located in the lock core seat 51, and the shift block 53 is fixedly connected to the lock core 52 by the screw 56, so that the rotation of the shift block 53 is controlled by the lock core 52. A locking plate 441 is fixed to the end of the movable bottom plate 44 away from the main body 412. When the shift block 53 rotates to the farthest end and abuts against the locking plate 441, the movable bottom plate 44 is fixed, and the handle 2 cannot shift the movable bottom plate 44. After the shift block 53 is turned away, the movable bottom plate 44 can be unlocked and moved.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 , 3 The bolt assembly 4 also includes a dust plate 45. The main function of the dust plate 45 is to prevent dust and other debris from entering the interior of the slide groove 31 and reduce the noise during the overall use process. The dust plate 45 is connected to the movable shaft 43 and moves in the slide groove 31 following the movable shaft 43. Specifically, the dust plate 45 abuts against the bolt seat 411 and moves along the bottom of the slide groove 31. The dust plate 45 always covers the guide hole 32 during the movement of the movable shaft 43. When in use, the surface of the dust plate 45 in contact with the mounting plate 3 is coated with butter to help sliding.

[0059] The implementation principle of a cabinet lock in the embodiment of the present application is:

[0060] When unlocking is required, the user pulls the handle 2 outward, and the handle 2 drives the movable bottom plate 44 to move toward the unlocking direction through the push block 21. The movement of the movable bottom plate 44 drives the main lock tongue 41 to move together, and at the same time, the rocker arm 42 rotates accordingly under the drive of the movable shaft 43, so that the end of the rocker arm 42 away from the movable shaft 43 shrinks toward the slide groove 31, thereby releasing the locking state of the main lock tongue 41 and the auxiliary lock tongue.

[0061] When the user releases the handle 2, the elastic member 6 releases its elastic force, pushing the movable bottom plate 44 and the main locking tongue 41 back to the locked position, thereby achieving automatic locking of the cabinet door.

[0062] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
