[0008] A rotary groove cylinder, which is sleeved on the protruding shaft part and fixed by a pin, and the rotary groove cylinder has a rotary groove;
[0009] A torsion bar, which passes through the rotary groove cylinder, and a roller is arranged at the end and is limited in the rotary groove;
[0010] A spring, which is sleeved on the torsion bar, one end is pressed against the rotary groove cylinder, and the other end is limited by a retaining ring at the end of the torsion bar;
[0011] A guide rod, which is hinged to the end of the torsion bar, and the guide rod is used for installing a lock tongue, and a lock tongue protective shell is sleeved outside the lock tongue.
[0012] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the above-mentioned rotary groove has a curvature.
[0013] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the shaft seat and the lock tongue housing are both installed on the drawer panel of the container, and the lock tongue housing is slidably engaged with the lock tongue.
[0014] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the roller is fixed to the side surface of the torsion bar by the cooperation of an inner hexagon screw and an internal thread pin.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model can obtain the following technical effects:
[0016] By rotating the rotary handle, the torsion bar cannot rotate circumferentially under the restriction of the lock tongue and the lock tongue housing. The roller rolls in the spiral groove, driving the middle of the torsion bar to move. At this time, the return spring is compressed and the lock tongue retracts. When the rotary handle is released, under the reset action of the spring, the torsion bar moves outward, driving the rotary handle to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the lock tongue extends to complete self-locking. The structure is simple, easy to use, and has a relatively high opening and closing efficiency.
