[0019] See attached Figures 1 to 6The utility model discloses a cabinet door lock, including a lock shell 1, a handle 2 and a lock mechanism. The lock shell 1 is provided with a handle groove 11, and the handle 2 is arranged in the handle groove 11. One end of the handle 2 is pivotally mounted on the lock shell 1 through a steel bolt assembly, and the other end of the handle 2 is a pop-up end 21. The pop-up end 21 is provided with a lock portion 22. The lock mechanism includes a lock member 4 that cooperates with the lock portion 22 to unlock / lock, and an unlocking key 3 that drives the lock member 4 to disengage and unlock from the lock portion 22. The unlocking key 3 can be a knob, a button, a push button, etc. The handle 2 is provided with a supporting mechanism, which includes a supporting member 5 that is configured to limit movement on the lock shell 1 and is located at the bottom of the pop-up end 21 of the handle 2. The supporting member 5 is matched with the bottom of the handle 2 to push. After the unlocking key 3 drives the lock member 4 to unlock, it drives the supporting member 5 to push the handle 2. When the unlocking button 3 is operated, the unlocking button 3 first drives the locking member 4 to unlock the handle 2, and then drives the lifting member 5 to apply a lifting force to the handle 2, thereby smoothly opening the handle 2. In addition to the function of the handle 2 popping up, a handle lifting mechanism is added to avoid the risk of the handle 2 getting stuck in the handle slot 11.

[0020] Furthermore, the supporting member 5 is connected to a push spring 6. The supporting member 5 has a driven portion 51 corresponding to the travel of the unlocking button 3. The unlocking button 3 is provided with a push portion 31. The unlocking button 3 pushes against the driven portion 51 of the supporting member 5 via the push portion 31. The supporting member 5 can be pressed by the handle 2 inserted into the handle slot 11, driving the push spring 6 to store energy. Driven by the push spring 6, the supporting member 5 contacts the bottom of the handle 2. In other words, the push spring 6 provides a spring-assisted force that pushes the handle 2 out of the handle slot 11, further improving the reliability of opening the handle 2. The push spring also stabilizes the supporting member in its position. For example, when the handle presses down on the supporting member, the supporting member presses against the handle under the push spring's force. After the handle is released, the supporting member, under the force of the push spring, cooperates with the corresponding position-limiting structure to maintain the supporting member in the position for the handle to press against. Furthermore, the unlocking button and the supporting member can employ a push-to-pull mechanism.

[0021] As an embodiment of the present invention, the supporting member 5 is pivotally mounted on the lock housing 1, and the rotation direction of the supporting member 5 corresponds to the direction in which the handle 2 enters and exits the handle slot 11. The supporting member is easy to install and can be reliably matched with the handle. The pushing spring preferably adopts a torsion spring design to achieve a compact structure. Among them, the position limiting structure of the rotating supporting member 5 is the position angle position limiting of the rotating component, and the concave and convex stop structure at the rotation position commonly used in the prior art can be adopted; in this specific embodiment, the supporting member 5 and the pushing portion 31 of the unlocking key 3 abut against the stop to achieve position limiting of the supporting member (see attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 , the handle 2 pops out of the handle slot 11).

[0022] The unlocking key 3 is a button configured to be limited to slide along the depth direction of the handle slot 11 on the lock housing 1 , and the button is equipped with a button return spring 7 that drives the button to bounce up.

[0023] In this specific embodiment, the lock shell 1 includes a base 1-1 with a handle groove 11 formed therein, a mounting cavity connected to the handle groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the base 1-1, and a cover shell 1-2 is provided on the bottom port of the mounting cavity. The mounting cavity has a button positioning hole cavity and a lock hook sliding guide groove, and the unlocking key 3 slides in the button positioning hole cavity, and the lock catch 4 includes a base 41 that slides in the lock hook sliding guide groove, and a hook arm 42 is provided on the base 41 that extends into the handle groove 11 and locks with the lock catch 22. A limiting bottom plate 1-3 is provided in the mounting cavity, and the limiting bottom plate 1-3 sets the base 41 and the unlocking key in a position. The lock element 3 is confined within the mounting cavity. One end of a button return spring 7 is supported on the limiting base plate 1-3, and the other end of the button return spring 7 abuts against the unlocking button 3. A lock hook spring 8 is provided between the base 41 and the limiting base plate 1-3, driving the hook arm 42 to lock onto the locking portion 22. A lock core hole seat is provided on the side of the mounting cavity, on which a lock core 9 is mounted. A lock core cam 91 is provided at the bottom of the lock core. The unlocking button 3 is provided with a locking block 32 that cooperates with the lock core cam 91 to lock / unlock. When the lock core cam rotates to the bottom of the locking block, the unlocking button cannot be pressed to unlock. It has the advantages of compact structure and easy installation. An unlocking pressing block 33 is provided at the bottom of the button, and a pushing ramp surface 411 is provided on the base 41 of the lock element 4. When the button is pressed, the unlocking pressing block 33 on the button abuts against the pushing ramp surface 411, thereby pushing the lock element 4 to move and unlock.

[0024] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Under the guidance of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make corresponding modifications, such as the supporting member may be sliding, or the supporting member may be linked with the unlocking key via a linkage member, so that the unlocking key drives the supporting member; or the unlocking key may be a push button design, or the unlocking key may be a knob, such as the rotation of the lock cylinder; or the supporting key may be directly fixed to the unlocking key, etc.; therefore, all equivalent technical solutions fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
