[0036] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The following combination Figures 1 to 4, describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a key cover structure is provided, comprising a panel 1, a key cover 2, and a first isolating member 3. Specifically, as Figure 1 As shown, panel 1 is provided with a keyhole 101. A key cover 2 is rotatably mounted on panel 1 and can be switched between a first position and a second position when pressure is applied. When in the first position, key cover 2 blocks keyhole 101, closing it and preventing unlocking. When in the second position, key cover 2 clears keyhole 101, opening it and enabling unlocking.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the first spacer 3 is disposed on the panel 1. For example, the first spacer 3 is a rib fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the panel 1 and can be integrally formed with the panel 1 or separately connected. When the key cover 2 rotates between the first and second positions, the key cover 2 abuts against the first spacer 3 and slides along the first spacer 3. Furthermore, to match the rotational path of the key cover 2, the first spacer 3 can be configured as a corresponding curved rib.

[0040] With this arrangement, the key cover 2 can be unlocked by pressing down and rotating it until the keyhole 101 is exposed, then stopping the rotation. This design offers a simple structure, convenient operation, and a compact footprint. During rotation, the key cover 2 slides against the first spacer 3, separating it from the panel 1. This prevents contact and scratches, ensuring a high-quality overall appearance. After unlocking, the key cover 2 rotates back to its original position, re-blocking the keyhole 101. Furthermore, the rotating key cover 2 provides for more flexible and smooth operation.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the key cover structure further includes a pressure plate 4. Figure 1 As shown, the pressure plate 4 is connected to the panel 1, and the pressure plate 4 is arranged on the side of the key cover 2 away from the panel 1. The pressure plate 4 is used to limit the displacement of the key cover 2 along the pressure direction, and the pressure plate 4 is provided with a through hole 401 opposite to the key hole 101. With this arrangement, the key cover 2 is located between the panel 1 and the pressure plate 4. When the key cover 2 is pressed down, the pressure plate 4 can prevent the key cover 2 from moving further, thereby limiting the movement space of the key cover 2, making the key cover 2 more stable and reliable when pressed and turned. It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 For the placement of the key cover structure shown in the figure, the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure is the direction of pressure.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the key cover structure further includes a guide groove 402, which is provided on the pressure plate 4. Figure 2As shown, the key cover 2 is provided with a guide member 5 that mates with the guide groove 402. When the key cover 2 is pressed downward to rotate between the first and second positions, the guide member 5 extends into and slides along the guide groove 402. This arrangement, through the interaction between the guide groove 402 and the guide member 5, enhances the stability of the key cover 2 during movement, reduces deviation caused by external forces or misoperation, improves the user experience, extends the product lifespan, and facilitates easy and quick operation. It is understood that to match the rotation path of the key cover 2, the guide groove 402 can be configured as a corresponding arc-shaped groove.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the key cover 2 includes a main body 201, a rotating part 202 and a contact part 203. Specifically, the main body 201 is arranged opposite to the key hole 101 to cover the key hole 101. The rotating part 202 is connected to the main body 201, for example, it can be integrally formed, or it can be connected separately. The rotating part 202 is rotatably connected to the panel 1 to achieve relative rotation between the key cover 2 and the panel 1. The contact part 203 is connected to the main body 201, for example, it can be integrally formed, or it can be connected separately. Figure 4 As shown, when the key cover 2 is pressed down and rotated between the first and second positions, the contact portion 203 abuts against the first isolating member 3 and slides along the first isolating member 3. It is understood that the rotating portion 202 and the contact portion 203 can be symmetrically arranged on either side of the main body 201 to facilitate rotation of the key cover 2 under the action of an external force. With this arrangement, the various parts of the key cover 2 cooperate with each other, with the main body 201 exposed to block the keyhole 101, and the contact portion 203 and the rotating portion 202 positioned outside the exposed surface. The contact portion 203 slides along the first isolating member 3 to prevent scratches on the exposed surface, and the rotating portion 202 achieves a rotational connection. The coordinated cooperation of these parts facilitates assembly and use, is easy to operate, and ensures the overall appearance quality.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the key cover structure further includes a shaft 6 and a first elastic member 7. The key cover 2 is rotatably connected to the panel 1 via the shaft 6. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shaft 6 is mounted on the panel 1 and can be integrally formed or separately connected. The rotating portion 202 is provided with an axial hole adapted to accommodate the rotating shaft 6, with the rotating shaft 6 being rotatably connected to the axial hole. A first elastic member 7 is sleeved onto the rotating shaft 6. For example, the first elastic member 7 can be a spring. One end of the first elastic member 7 abuts against the key cover 2, while the other end abuts against the pressure plate 4. This arrangement provides a buffering and resetting effect, preventing rigid contact and improving the comfort and stability of pressing the key cover 2.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the key cover structure further includes a second elastic member 8, such as Figure 2As shown, the second elastic member 8 is sleeved onto the guide member 5. For example, the second elastic member 8 can be a spring. One end of the second elastic member 8 abuts the key cover 2, and the other end abuts the pressure plate 4. This arrangement provides a buffering and reset function, preventing rigid impacts and improving the comfort and reliability of pressing the key cover 2. Furthermore, the second elastic member 8 and the first elastic member 7 ensure the tightness of the key cover 2 when closed, preventing it from accidentally opening due to slight vibrations or external forces.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the key cover structure further includes at least two connecting columns 9, such as Figure 1 As shown, each connecting column 9 is provided on the panel 1, and can be integrally formed, or can be connected separately. In addition, each connecting column 9 is spaced apart along the circumference of the pressure plate 4, and the connecting columns 9 and the pressure plate 4 are respectively provided with mounting holes 11 for inserting fasteners 10. For example, screws can be used as fasteners. It should be noted that the number of connecting columns 9 can be specifically determined according to actual design requirements. With such a configuration, the pressure plate 4 can be detachably connected to the panel 1 by inserting fasteners, which is convenient to operate and easy to assemble and maintain.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the key cover structure further includes a second isolating member 12, which is disposed on the panel 1. For example, the second isolating member 12 is a rib fixedly disposed on the inner surface of the panel 1, and can be integrally formed with the panel 1, or can be separately connected. Figure 4 As shown, when the key cover 2 rotates between the first and second positions, the rotating portion 202 abuts against the second isolating member 12 and slides along it. Furthermore, to match the rotational path of the key cover 2, the second isolating member 12 can be configured with a corresponding curved rib. With this configuration, during rotation, the rotating portion 202 slides against the second isolating member 12, thereby cooperating with the first isolating member 3. This allows the key cover 2 to slide stably along the isolating member at all positions, reliably isolating it from the panel 1 and effectively protecting the key cover 2 from scratches.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the end of the first isolating member 3 is provided with a first inclined guide portion 301, and / or the end of the second isolating member 12 is provided with a second inclined guide portion 1201. This arrangement, by providing an inclined guide surface, allows the user to smoothly and naturally transition to the isolating member surface when rotating the key cover 2, improving the fluidity of operation and the overall user experience, preventing the key cover 2 from getting stuck during movement, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0049] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a door lock is provided, comprising a key cover structure as described in the various embodiments described above. With this arrangement, the lock can be unlocked by pressing down and rotating the key cover 2 until the keyhole 101 is exposed and then stopping the rotation. This configuration provides a simple structure, convenient operation, and a compact footprint. During rotation, the key cover 2 slides against the first spacer 3, separating the key cover 2 from the panel 1. This prevents contact between the key cover 2 and the panel 1, which could cause scratches and maintain the overall appearance. The derivation process for this beneficial effect is generally similar to that for the aforementioned key cover structure and will not be further elaborated here.

[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations shall fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
