[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] As Figures 1-9 shown, an automatic safety lock includes a socket door frame 10 as an installation carrier. One side inside the socket door frame 10 is hinged with a door sill 20. On the outer side of the socket door frame 10, away from the hinge axis of the door sill 20, a lock pin groove 11 is installed. On the outer side of the door sill 20, close to the lock pin groove 11, a lock pin bin 21 is installed. Inside the lock pin bin 21, a movable pin plate 22 that cooperates with the lock pin groove 11 is provided. On the outer side of the lock pin groove 11, an anti-detachment mechanism that cooperates with the movable pin plate 22 is provided. At the middle position on the side of the movable pin plate 22 away from the lock pin groove 11, an installation groove 23 is opened. At the top and bottom on the side of the movable pin plate 22 away from the lock pin groove 11, connecting grooves 24 are symmetrically opened, and a driving spring 25 is installed inside the connecting groove 24. The side of the driving spring 25 away from the lock pin groove 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lock pin bin 21. At the middle position inside the lock pin bin 21, a lock pin adjustment component 26 for controlling the movement of the movable pin plate 22 is provided.

[0034] In this embodiment, the locking pin adjusting assembly 26 includes a rotating rod 261. The rotating rod 261 is arranged at the middle position inside the locking pin bin 21. A driving gear 262 is installed at one end of the outer side of the rotating rod 261. A fixed rack 269 meshing with the driving gear 262 is installed at one end of the inner bottom of the installation groove 23 close to the driving gear 262. A rotation limiting mechanism is arranged at one end of the outer side of the rotating rod 261 away from the driving gear 262.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotation limiting mechanism includes a sleeve 263. The sleeve 263 is sleeved at one end of the outer side of the rotating rod 261 away from the driving gear 262. A connecting ring 264 is installed at one end of the sleeve 263 away from the driving gear 262. And one end of the connecting ring 264 away from the sleeve 263 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the locking pin bin 21. A ratchet wheel 265 and a fixed ring 267 are respectively installed at one end of the outer side of the rotating rod 261 close to the connecting ring 264. The rotating rod 261 can drive the driving gear 262, the ratchet wheel 265 and the fixed ring 267 to rotate at the same time. Four groups of limiting paddles 266 cooperating with the ratchet wheel 265 are evenly installed at one end of the inner wall of the sleeve 263 away from the connecting ring 264. When the rotating rod 261 is pushed to move inside the connecting ring 264, the limiting paddles 266 can be made to leave the tooth grooves of the ratchet wheel 265. A return spring 268 is sleeved at one end of the outer side of the rotating rod 261 close to the connecting ring 264. And both ends of the return spring 268 are fixedly connected with the fixed ring 267 and the sleeve 263 respectively. When the pushing of the rotating rod 261 is released, the return spring 268 can make the limiting paddles 266 snap into the tooth grooves of the ratchet wheel 265 again. A safety assembly 27 cooperating with the fixed rack 269 is arranged at one side of the inside of the locking pin bin 21 away from the locking pin groove 11.

[0036] In this embodiment, the safety assembly 27 includes a lead screw 271. The lead screw 271 is located at one side of the inside of the locking pin bin 21 away from the locking pin groove 11. An internally threaded block 272 is arranged on the outer side of the lead screw 271 in a threaded manner. Slide rods 273 are installed at both ends of the inside of the locking pin bin 21 close to the lead screw 271. And the slide rods 273 penetrate through the internally threaded block 272. A rack clamping block 274 cooperating with the fixed rack 269 is installed at the bottom of the internally threaded block 272. By rotating the lead screw 271, the internally threaded block 272 is driven to slide on the slide rods 273 until the rack clamping block 274 snaps into the tooth grooves of the fixed rack 269, restricting the movement of the movable pin plate 22 from moving any further.

[0037] In this embodiment, the anti - detachment mechanism includes a limit card slot 15. The limit card slot 15 is located outside the movable pin plate 22. A movable plate 12 is hinged at a position on the outer side of the socket door frame 10 near the lock pin slot 11. And two groups of connecting springs 13 are installed on the inner side of the movable plate 12. The sides of the two groups of connecting springs 13 away from the movable plate 12 are fixedly connected to the socket door frame 10. A limit card block 14 that cooperates with the limit card slot 15 is installed at one end of the inner side of the movable plate 12 near the door bar 20. During the process of the movable pin plate 22 quickly snapping into the lock pin slot 11, the movable pin plate 22 first pushes the movable plate 12 to rotate outward, and the connecting spring 13 is stretched by the force. Then, after the movable pin plate 22 is completely snapped into the lock pin slot 11, the limit card block 14 on the inner side of the movable plate 12 will automatically snap into the limit card slot 15 on the outer side of the movable pin plate 22, restricting the movable pin plate 22 from retracting back into the interior of the lock pin bin 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, a connecting bearing 260 is installed at the central position inside the sleeve 263. The rotating rod 261 passes through the inner ring of the connecting bearing 260, which helps to improve the stability of the rotation of the rotating rod 261.

[0039] In this embodiment, connecting chutes 28 are symmetrically opened at the inner top and inner bottom of the lock pin bin 21. Connecting sliders 29 that cooperate with the connecting chutes 28 are symmetrically installed at the top and bottom of the movable pin plate 22, which helps to improve the stability of the movable pin plate 22 during the process of extending and retracting inside the lock pin bin 21 and can also limit the telescopic distance of the movable pin plate 22.

[0040] In this embodiment, the same end of the rotating rod 261 and the lead screw 271 extends to the outside of the lock pin bin 21 and is installed with a hand wheel, which is convenient for rotating the rotating rod 261 and the lead screw 271 through the hand wheel.

[0041] In this embodiment, inner grooves are opened on the outer sides of the socket door frame 10 and the door bar 20. The lock pin slot 11 and the lock pin bin 21 are both arranged in the inner grooves, which helps to make the planes outside the lock pin slot 11 and the lock pin bin 21 be on the same plane layer as the planes outside the socket door frame 10 and the door bar 20, improving the aesthetics of the safety lock.

[0042] Working principle: First, place your hand on the handwheel outside the rotating rod 261, and then push the door bar 20 to close. When the door bar 20 is completely merged with the socket door frame 10, the door bar 20 can no longer move. At this time, manually push the rotating rod 261 into the inside of the lock pin chamber 21, forcing the rotating rod 261 to drive the ratchet wheel 265 to move deeper into the inside of the sleeve 263, so that the limit dial 266 no longer restricts the rotation of the ratchet wheel 265, and the driving gear 262 and the fixed rack 269 are no longer engaged. Then, the elastic potential energy of the driving spring 25 pushes the head end of the moving pin plate 22 to quickly and automatically snap into the inside of the lock pin groove 11. During this process, the fixed ring 267 pushes the return spring 268 to be compressed and store elastic potential energy. The end of the rotating rod 261 away from the driving gear 262 extends into the inside of the connecting ring 264. After the moving pin plate 22 is completely snapped into the lock pin groove 11 to lock the door bar 20, release the handwheel outside the rotating rod 261. At this time, the elastic potential energy of the return spring 268 pushes the rotating rod 261 to move outside the lock pin chamber 21, and the limit dial 266 is repositioned in the tooth groove of the ratchet wheel 265, and the driving gear 262 and the fixed rack 269 are engaged again. When it is necessary to open the door bar 20, manually rotate the rotating rod 261 clockwise. At this time, the rotating rod 261 cooperates with the driving gear 262 and the fixed rack 269 to drive the moving pin plate 22 to retract into the inside of the lock pin chamber 21. The limit dial 266 cooperates with the ratchet wheel 265 to limit the rotating rod 261 to only rotate clockwise. By rotating the rotating rod 261, the moving pin plate 22 can be quickly retracted into the inside of the lock pin chamber 21, and the driving spring 25 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. If the children's fence is not used, then manually rotate the lead screw 271, and use the thread action to force the internal thread block 272 to drive the rack block 274 to snap into the tooth groove of the fixed rack 269. During this process, the internal thread block 272 slides on the slide bar 273. This method can also be used when the moving pin plate 22 snaps into the lock pin groove 11, so that the fully automatic safety lock cannot be easily opened.
