It uses gravity to lock, can be easily opened and closed, does not require a spring, has a simple structure, and has no risk of getting stuck.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0005] A gravity self-locking door lock structure includes a door lock frame and a lock fastener; on the panel of the door lock frame, a swingable lock tongue member is connected through a hinge shaft, and a lock rod is inserted through the lock tongue member; both ends of the lock rod are connected with ball head handles; an activity hole for the up and down movement of the lock rod is opened on the door lock frame; a locking groove for clamping the end of the lock tongue member is arranged at the upper end of the lock fastener.
[0006] As a further improvement of the above solution, the lock fastener is an L-shaped plate, one side is a mounting plate, the other side is a lock catch plate, a slope for facilitating the upward sliding of the lock tongue member is arranged on the outer side of the lock catch plate, and a locking groove for facilitating the entry of the lock tongue member is arranged on the inner side of the upper end.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above solution, the lock tongue member is sleeved on the lock rod, and nuts for fixing the lock tongue member are installed at both ends of the lock rod.
[0008] As a further improvement of the above solution, a rotatable locking rod is vertically arranged inside the door lock frame, the upper end of the locking rod extends out from the top surface of the door lock frame, and an adjusting rod is installed; a locking pin that can extend into the activity hole and block the lock tongue member is arranged on the locking rod.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0010] 1. The structure of this door lock is simple. It uses gravity to make the lock tongue fall into the locking groove of the lock catch to achieve locking, and does not require a spring. Therefore, the problem of getting stuck caused by spring rust can be avoided.
[0011] 2. When closing the inspection door, the lock tongue and the lock catch will contact each other. Under the reaction force of the inclined structure of the lock catch, the lock tongue slides upward. During the closing process, the lock tongue slides upward to the top of the inclined surface and then begins to fall downward by its own gravity and falls into the locking position of the lock catch, achieving the effect of automatically closing and locking the inspection door by gravity.
[0012] 3. When you need to open the door, you only need to lift the ball handle of the door lock upwards and push it lightly into the door to pull the lock tongue out of the locking groove of the lock buckle. After passing the top of the lock buckle, it reaches the inclined position of the lock buckle. At this time, the door lock is in the unlocked state. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments. The description in this section is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the protection scope of the utility model.
[0021] Embodiment 1:
[0022] like Figures 1-4As shown, the specific scheme of this embodiment is: a gravity self-locking door lock structure, including a door lock frame 24 and a lock member 23; a lock tongue member 22 that can swing up and down is connected to the panel of the door lock frame 24 through a hinge shaft 26, and a lock rod 27 is installed on the lock tongue member 22; both ends of the lock rod 27 are connected to the ball handle 25; a movable hole 29 for the lock rod 27 to move up and down is opened on the door lock frame 24; a locking groove 231 for clamping the end of the lock tongue member 22 is provided on the upper end of the lock member 23.
[0023] Specifically, the locking member 23 is an L-shaped plate, one side of which is a mounting plate and the other side is a locking plate 232. The outer side of the locking plate 232 is provided with an inclined surface 233 for facilitating the upward sliding of the locking tongue member 22, and the inner side of the upper end is provided with a locking groove 231 for facilitating the entry of the locking tongue member 22.
[0024] Specifically, the locking tongue piece 22 is sleeved on the locking rod 27 , and nuts 28 for fixing the locking tongue piece 22 are installed at both ends of the locking rod 27 .
[0025] Working principle:
[0026] The door lock frame 24 is a box structure, which is installed on the inspection door 11, and the lock tongue piece 22 is located outside the panel of the door lock frame 24; the movable hole 29 is a long strip hole, which is convenient for the lock rod 27 to move up and down inside; the lock rod 27 passes through the center hole of the lock tongue piece 22 and is fixed by a nut 28; the rear end of the lock tongue piece 22 is installed on the door lock frame 24 through a hinge shaft 26; so that the lock tongue piece 22 can be flipped up and down and swung; the ball head handle 25 is a stainless steel ball handle.
[0027] When closing the inspection door 11, the lock tongue member 22 and the lock catch member 23 will contact each other. Under the reaction force of the inclined surface 233 structure of the lock catch member 23, the lock tongue slides upward. During the closing process, the lock tongue slides upward to the top of the inclined surface 233 and then begins to lock downward by its own gravity and falls into the locking position of the lock catch 13, thereby achieving the effect of automatically closing and locking the inspection door 11 by gravity.
[0028] When the door needs to be opened, one only needs to lift the ball handle 25 of the door lock upwards and gently push it into the door to pull the lock tongue 22 out of the locking groove 231 of the lock catch 23, pass the top of the lock catch 13, and reach the inclined surface 233 of the lock catch 13. At this time, the door lock is in an unlocked state.
[0029] Embodiment 2:
[0030] like Figures 5-6 As shown, based on the structure of Example 1, a rotatable locking rod 31 is vertically arranged in the door lock frame 24, the upper end of the locking rod 31 extends from the top surface of the door lock frame 24 and is installed with an adjusting rod 30; the locking rod 31 is provided with a locking pin 32 which can extend into the movable hole 29 and block the lock tongue member 22.
[0031] Specifically, mounting holes are formed at the top and bottom surfaces of the door lock frame 24. The upper and lower ends of the locking rod 31 pass through the mounting holes for installation. The lower end is connected to a nut, and the upper end is connected to the adjusting rod 30. A locking pin 32 is installed in the middle. Since the diameter of the locking rod 31 is relatively large, a threaded hole can be formed in the locking rod 31. Then, threads are designed at the end of the locking pin 32, so that the locking pin 32 can be installed in the threaded hole of the locking rod 31 through threaded connection. The locking pin 32 is installed perpendicular to the locking rod 31. When the adjusting rod 30 is toggled, the locking rod 31 is driven to rotate, and the locking pin 32 is driven to extend into the moving hole 29, thereby blocking the lock tongue member 22, preventing the lock tongue member 22 from loosening, achieving the locked state, and avoiding the opening of the lock tongue member 22 caused by misoperation.
