Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] See also Figure 1-3The utility model provides a technical solution: a car door opening safety locking device, including a car door lock body 1, a lock tongue 2 is symmetrically provided at the upper end of the interior of the car door lock body 1, a lock catch that matches the lock tongue 2 structure can be installed on the door frame, and the corresponding sides of the lock tongue 2 are connected to a vertically distributed linkage rod 3, and a locking actuator 5 is provided between the bottom ends of the linkage rod 3. The locking actuator 5 can drive the lock tongue 2 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position through the linkage rod 3, and a sensor module 4 is provided at the lower end of the interior of the car door lock body 1. The sensor module 4 includes an acceleration sensor (model: ENDEVCO 41A13-M5) and tilt angle sensor 42 (single-axis tilt angle sensor based on capacitive 3D-MEMS technology), the acceleration sensor 41 is used to detect the acceleration change of the vehicle during driving, and the tilt angle sensor 42 is used to detect the rollover state of the vehicle. The door lock body 1 of this structure can usually be installed on the inner frame of the vehicle door. When the vehicle encounters an emergency braking or rollover and other emergencies, the acceleration sensor 41 and the tilt angle sensor 42 will monitor the status information of the vehicle in real time. Once abnormal acceleration or rollover is detected, the sensor module 4 will quickly send the signal The signal is transmitted to the locking actuator 5, and the locking actuator 5 drives the lock tongue 2 to move to the locked position through the linkage rod 3, so that the lock tongue 2 is more firmly embedded in the lock catch on the door frame, thereby enhancing the locking strength of the door and effectively preventing the door from being accidentally opened due to external impact. This not only improves the reliability of the door locking system, but also protects the life safety of the occupants in the car at critical moments, and solves the problem that the door locking system may not be able to effectively prevent the door from being accidentally opened when the vehicle is in a severe collision or rollover. The locking actuator 5 includes an upper rack 51, a gear 52 and a lower rack 53. The gear 52 is connected to the upper rack 51, a gear 52 and a lower rack 53. The motor is connected between the bottom ends of the linkage rods 3, and the upper rack 51 and the lower rack 53 are staggered on the upper and lower sides of the gear 52 and meshed with the gear 52, and the upper rack 51 and the lower rack 53 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding linkage rods 3, and the two linkage rods 3 are also provided with perforations corresponding to the upper rack 51 or the lower rack 53. When the motor drives the gear 52 to rotate, the upper rack 51 and the lower rack 53 meshed with the gear 52 are driven to move up and down accordingly. The movements of the upper rack 51 and the lower rack 53 are respectively transmitted to the lock tongue 2 through the two linkage rods 3 connected thereto, so that the lock tongue 2 can It can realize fast and accurate telescopic action in the door lock body 1, thereby enhancing the locking stability of the door in an emergency. The four corners of the edge of the door lock body 1 are provided with reinforcing ribs 7, and the connection between the reinforcing ribs 7 and the outer wall of the door lock body 1 is fixed by welding. The reinforcing ribs 7 of this structure can effectively disperse and resist the stress applied to the door lock body 1 when the door is subjected to external impact force, enhance the rigidity and anti-deformation ability of the overall structure, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the door lock body 1 in long-term use. A torsion spring 8 connected to the inner wall of the door lock body 1 is provided between the lock tongues 2.And the outer sides of the top ends of the torsion spring 8 are provided with elastic blocks, and the interior of the car door lock body 1 is also provided with a guide shaft 6 that is movably connected to the linkage rod 3. In the displacement process of the lock tongue 2 of this structure, the torsion spring 8 can automatically open and close by its own elastic force, thereby pressing against the inner end of the lock tongue 2 to ensure the stability of the lock tongue 2 in different states, and the guide shaft 6 plays a positioning role when the two linkage rods 3 are relatively displaced, making the movement of the linkage rod 3 more accurate and stable. Both sides of the top of the car door lock body 1 are provided with through-holes that match the structure of the lock tongue 2, and rubber rings 9 are provided on the inner walls of the through-holes on both sides of the top of the car door lock body 1.

The lock tongue 2 acts as a seal and buffer during its movement through the opening, reducing wear and preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior of the door lock body 1, thereby extending the lock body's service life and maintaining good working condition. The sensor module 4 also includes a data processing unit 43, which is electrically connected to the acceleration sensor 41 and the tilt angle sensor 42. The acceleration sensor 41 and the tilt angle sensor 42 in this structure monitor changes in the vehicle's status in real time and transmit this information to the data processing unit 43. The data processing unit 43 analyzes and processes the data from these two sensors to determine whether the safety locking mechanism needs to be activated. If a potential risk is determined, the data processing unit 43 sends a command to the lock actuator 5, thereby achieving rapid response and timely protection.

[0018] Working Principle: When using the vehicle door opening safety locking device, the acceleration sensor 41 and the tilt angle sensor 42 first monitor the vehicle status information in real time. Once abnormal acceleration or rollover is detected, the data processing unit 43 in the sensor module 4 quickly analyzes the sensor signal and issues a command through the lock actuator 5. The motor in the lock actuator 5 drives the gear 52 to rotate, thereby driving the upper rack 51 and the lower rack 53 meshing with the gear 52 to move up and down accordingly. The movement of the upper rack 51 and the lower rack 53 is transmitted to the lock tongue 2 through the two connecting rods 3 connected to them. When the connecting rod 3 moves, it will move along the guide shaft 6, allowing the lock tongue 2 to achieve rapid and precise extension and retraction in the door lock body 1. At the same time, the torsion spring 8 automatically opens and closes due to its own elastic force to press against the inner end of the lock tongue 2 to ensure its stability. At the same time, the rubber ring 9 acts as a seal and cushioning when the lock tongue 2 enters and exits the openings on both sides of the top of the door lock body 1, reducing wear and preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior of the door lock body 1, thereby completing a series of operations.
