DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in this embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the utility model is a rotating lock tongue control mechanism for a car ceiling screen, comprising a carrier 1, a connecting rod 2, a power lock tongue 3 and a positioning lock tongue 4. The connecting rod 2 is rotatably arranged on the carrier 1, and a pair of lock tongues are respectively mounted on the left and right ends of the connecting rod and linked with the connecting rod 2. The lower ends of the pair of lock tongues can be synchronously swung backward to lock or swung forward to unlock. The lower ends of the lock tongues are used to lock the display screen;
[0024] It also includes a circuit board 5 and a power actuator 6, which directly or indirectly drives the power lock tongue 3 or the connecting rod 2 to rotate. A micro switch 1 51 and a micro switch 2 52 are also provided on the circuit board 5. The corresponding micro switches on the positioning lock tongue 4 have a contact 1 41 and a contact 2 42. When the lower ends of a pair of lock tongues swing backward into place, the contact 1 41 touches the micro switch 1 51 and stops the power actuator 6; when the lower ends of the pair of lock tongues swing forward into place, the contact 2 42 touches the micro switch 2 52 and stops the power actuator 6.
[0025] Specifically, the upper end of the positioning latch 4 is mounted on the connecting rod 2 and has a pressure head 4a protruding rearward toward the circuit board. Two contacts are located at the upper and lower ends of the pressure head 4a, and two microswitches are located at the upper and lower ends of the circuit board 5. The two contacts are spaced apart to form a clamping opening. The circuit board 5 is located between the two contacts and has a contact clearance opening 5a. The two microswitches are also located on the left and right sides of the clearance opening 5a, with the trigger ends of the micro switches corresponding to the clearance opening 5a.
[0026] Specifically, the middle part of the power lock tongue 3 is mounted on the connecting rod 2, and a dial head 31 is also provided at its upper end. A dial wheel 7 is provided on the rear side of the dial head 31. The dial wheel 7 is driven to rotate by the power actuator 6. The power actuator 6 includes a motor 61, a gear shaft 1 62 and a gear shaft 2 63. The gear shaft 1 62 is arranged close to the connecting rod 2. A shaft sleeve B is provided on the two gear shafts. The shaft sleeve B of the gear shaft 1 62 has the dial wheel 7 and the driven gear 64 arranged side by side. The shaft sleeve B of the gear shaft 2 63 has a driving gear 65 and a turbine 66 arranged side by side. The driving gear 65 is engaged with the driven gear 64 in front, and the turbine 66 is engaged with the worm 67 provided at the output end of the rear motor 61; or the motor is directly coaxially connected to the dial wheel 7, or the motor is connected to the connecting rod 2 through a gear set.
[0027] The elastic member 8 also provides driving force for the dial head 31 at the upper end of the power lock tongue to abut against the front side of the dial wheel 7.
[0028] The dial wheel 7 has a protrusion 71 and a recessed portion 72 around its circumference. When the protrusion 71 turns toward the upper end of the power lock tongue 3 and pushes it forward, it can cause the lower ends of the pair of lock tongues to swing backward synchronously. When the recessed portion 72 turns toward the upper end of the power lock tongue 3, it is driven by the elastic member 8 to cause the lower ends of the pair of lock tongues to swing forward synchronously. The protrusion 71 is arc-shaped, and its thickness gradually increases along the circumferential surface of the dial wheel 7. The protrusion is integrally formed on the circumferential surface of the dial wheel 7.
[0029] Specifically, the elastic member 8 is a torsion spring, which is mounted on the connecting rod 2. The rear end of the torsion spring engages with the corresponding notch 11 of the carrier 1, and the front end of the torsion spring is inserted into the positioning groove A at the lower end of the lock tongue, thereby providing forward thrust for the lock tongue. A torsion spring is installed on both the left and right ends of the connecting rod 2, and each torsion spring acts on the lower end of its respective lock tongue. The lower ends of both lock tongues have a positioning groove.
[0030] The above-mentioned motor may be a bidirectional motor.
[0031] Working principle: The power actuator 6 drives the dial wheel 7 to rotate. When the dial wheel 7 rotates counterclockwise, the protrusion 71 will gradually turn to the dial head 31, and the thickness of the protrusion 71 in contact with the dial head 31 will gradually increase. At this time, the dial head 31 of the power lock tongue 3 will gradually swing forward. Since the pair of lock tongues are driven by the connecting rod 2, the lower ends of the pair of lock tongues will swing backward at the same time, thereby locking under the screen;
[0032] When the dial wheel 7 rotates clockwise, it turns from the inner concave position 72 to the dial head 31, and the protrusion 71 gradually rotates away from the dial head 31, causing the thickness of the protrusion 71 in contact with the dial head 31 to gradually decrease or become 0 (it is also not necessary for the protrusion to completely rotate away from the dial head, as long as there is enough space for the dial head to swing backward to achieve unlocking). The action of the torsion spring will cause the lower ends of the pair of lock tongues to swing forward synchronously to unlock, and the screen can be flipped down to open. At this time, the dial head 31 is gradually swinging backward.
[0033] When the protrusion is spherical, the dial head can be completely rotated away from the protrusion and located in the inner concave position, thereby avoiding being pushed outward by the protrusion.
[0034] During the swinging process, after the lower end of the positioning lock tongue 4 swings back and forth to open and close in place, the pressure head 4a at its upper end swings up and down, and the contact 1 41 and the contact 2 42 respectively trigger the corresponding micro switches on the circuit board, and the trigger switch outputs the lock tongue open and close in place signal to realize monitoring.
[0035] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, all directional indications (such as up, down, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0036] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "coupled," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; they may refer to direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they may refer to the rear connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
