[0002] At present, the lock bodies on the market generally include a lock shell, a lock tongue, a reset member and a rotatable dial wheel are arranged in the lock shell. The lock tongue can extend or retract into the lock shell. A lock frame is slidably arranged in the lock shell. The lock tongue and the lock frame are integrally arranged. The reset member abuts against the lock frame to reset the lock frame. A long groove is arranged on the lock frame along its sliding direction. A dial piece extends from the dial wheel into the long groove. A contact surface that can cooperate with the dial piece is arranged on the inner wall at the rear end of the long groove. The dial piece abuts against the contact surface in the long groove. When the dial wheel rotates, the lock frame can drive the lock tongue to slide backward into the lock shell.

[0033] Embodiment: As shown in the attached Figures 1 to 6 A silent lock body, including a lock housing 1, a lock tongue 2 provided at one end of the lock housing 1, linkage arms 3 provided on the left and right sides of the lock tongue 2, a dial 4 rotatably provided on the lock housing 1 and cooperating with the linkage arms 3, and a reset member 5 provided in the lock housing 1 for resetting the lock tongue 2 (the reset member 5 can be a spring, one end of the spring abuts against the inner support plate of the lock housing 1, and the other end abuts against the lock tongue 2). A sliding hole 6 for the lock tongue 2 to retract into or slide out of the inner cavity of the lock housing 1 is provided at one end of the lock housing 1. When the dial 4 is rotated, the dial 4 drives the linkage arms 3 to cause the lock tongue 2 to retract into the inner cavity of the lock housing 1. The lock body further includes a buffer member 7 provided in the lock housing 1, and when the dial 4 drives the linkage arms 3 to cause the lock tongue 2 to completely retract into the inner cavity of the lock housing 1, the inner end of the linkage arm 3 abuts against the buffer member 7. By providing the buffer member 7 inside the lock housing 1, it buffers and limits the linkage arms 3 when the lock tongue 2 moves inward, avoiding direct impact on the lock housing 1, having the advantages of good silent effect and improving the service life of the lock body.
[0034] Among them, the buffer member 7 is made of an elastic material. This enables the buffer member 7 to effectively absorb the impact generated by the linkage arms 3, avoiding large vibrations and noises. In this embodiment, the buffer member 7 is made of silica gel material, which has good buffer performance and can also meet the requirements of light weight and durability.
[0035] As shown in the attached Figure 2As shown, the buffer member 7 is clamped between the inner end of the lock housing 1 and the dial wheel 4, and the left and right sides of the buffer member 7 are respectively abutted against the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the lock housing 1, and the front and rear sides of the buffer member 7 are respectively abutted against the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the lock housing 1. The buffer member 7 can be installed by the limitation of the lock housing 1 and the dial wheel 4, and the installation operation is very convenient.
[0036] As shown in the appendix Figure 2 and the appendix Figure 3 As shown, an arc-shaped groove 8 is provided on one side of the buffer member 7 close to the dial wheel 4, and the arc-shaped groove 8 is adapted to the outer circular surface of the dial wheel 4. The buffer member 7 is attached to a part of the outer circular surface of the dial wheel 4 by providing the arc-shaped groove 8, which improves the stability of the installation of the buffer member 7, and increases its contact area with the dial wheel 4, which can effectively reduce the vibration generated by the friction of metal parts and further improve the mute effect of the lock body.
[0037] As shown in the appendix Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a limit step 9 is respectively provided at the positions corresponding to the front and rear ends of the outer circular surface of the dial wheel 4, an installation hole 10 coaxial with the dial wheel 4 is respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the lock housing 1, a limit flange 11 is provided on the inner circular surface of the installation hole 10, and the two limit flanges 11 are respectively abutted against the corresponding limit steps 9, and a relief groove 12 for the corresponding limit flange 11 to be embedded is respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the buffer member 7. This design can realize the axial limit installation of the dial wheel 4 and realize its function of rotating and installing on the lock housing 1. At the same time, the relief groove 12 is provided on the buffer member 7 to avoid interference in installation with the limit flange 11.
[0038] As shown in the appendix Figure 1 As shown, an arc-shaped stroke limit groove 13 is provided on the inner circular surface of the limit flange 11, and a stroke limit protrusion 14 that can be movably arranged in the stroke limit groove 13 is provided on the dial wheel 4. When the stroke limit protrusion 14 abuts against the end of the stroke limit groove 13, the rotation of the dial wheel 4 is limited. This design can limit the rotation angle of the dial wheel 4 and avoid the excessive rotation of the dial wheel 4 driven by the handle, which causes the linkage arm 3 to be squeezed and deformed by the lock housing 1.
[0039] As shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of hollow grooves 15 are provided on the buffer member 7. In this embodiment, the number of the hollow grooves 15 is two, and they are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the end of the buffer member 7. This design can not only reduce the weight of the buffer member 7, but also reduce the amount of raw materials used for the buffer member 7 and reduce costs.
[0040] As shown in the appendix Figure 2As shown, a long hole 16 is provided on the linkage arm 3. One end of the long hole 16 away from the locking tongue 2 serves as an abutting portion 17. A driving protrusion 18 that extends into the long hole 16 and cooperates with the abutting portion 17 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the dial 4. When the dial 4 is rotated, the driving protrusion 18 on the dial 4 acts on the abutting portion 17 on the linkage arm 3, driving the linkage arm 3 to move, and further driving the locking tongue 2 to retract into the lock housing 1 to achieve unlocking.
[0041] As shown in the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a limiting bend 19 that extends outward is provided at one end of the linkage arm 3 corresponding to the abutting portion 17. An outer hole 20 for the limiting bend 19 to extend into and move is provided on the lock housing 1. After the locking tongue 2 drives the linkage arm 3 to move outward under the drive of the reset member 5, the limiting bend 19 abuts against the end of the outer hole 20 to form a limit. When the locking tongue 2 extends out of the lock housing 1 and reaches the limit position of locking, the linkage arm 3 can be limited to prevent the locking tongue 2 from completely disengaging from the lock housing 1.
[0042] As shown in the attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown, a positioning hole 21 is further provided on the linkage arm 3. A positioning block 22 that fits with the positioning hole 21 is provided on the side of the locking tongue 2. A protective sleeve 23 is also sleeved on the outer periphery of the locking tongue 2. The protective sleeve 23 can be made of plastic material. The protective sleeve 23 wraps the positioning block 22 and the positioning hole 21 inside. Among them, the protective sleeve 23 is made of plastic material, making it deformable and easier to install. The front and rear ends of the protective sleeve 23 are limited by providing limiting protrusions or stepped structures on the locking tongue 2. The detachable structure of the linkage arm 3 and the locking tongue 2 not only facilitates the pre - processing and assembly, but also is conducive to the later maintenance and replacement. At the same time, sleeving the protective sleeve 23 on the outer periphery of the locking tongue 2 can not only protect the locking tongue 2, but also fix the connection part between the linkage arm 3 and the locking tongue 2, ensuring the reliability of the connection structure between the two.
[0043] In addition, the lock housing 1 is formed by detachably connecting an upper housing and a lower housing, and can be specifically assembled together by means such as snap - connection and screw - connection, so as to facilitate the installation of internal components.
