[0005] This utility model aims to address the technical problems of traditional mechanical locking mechanisms, which often rely on physical contact or complex mechanical components, resulting in inconvenient operation, prone to wear and tear, and insufficient safety. This utility model provides a magnetically triggered self-locking mechanism. This mechanism achieves self-locking and unlocking functions by varying the distance between three magnetic elements with the same magnetic orientation, ensuring convenient and safe operation. This structure also reduces physical contact and friction, minimizing component wear and extending service life.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] The upper surface of the lower shell of the locking unit is recessed inward to form a groove for installing the first magnetic element. The upper shell of the locking unit is arranged at the groove opening on the upper surface of the lower shell of the locking unit in a sealing form. The locking groove is located on the lower surface of the lower shell of the locking unit and passes through the groove.

[0011] Specifically, the first magnetic element is located in a groove inside the lower housing of the locking unit, ensuring its stable fixation. The upper housing of the locking unit is responsible for fixing and sealing the first magnetic element to protect it from external influences, thereby ensuring the overall functionality and reliability of the locking unit.

[0012] In one embodiment, the lower shell of the locking unit is a cylindrical structure, the locking groove is a circular groove axially extending through the middle of the lower shell of the locking unit, the groove is a circular groove concentric with the locking groove, the groove is located at the top of the lower shell of the locking unit, the diameter of the groove is larger than the diameter of the locking groove, and the first magnetic element is an annular magnetic part, which is fixedly installed in the groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the first magnetic element is greater than or equal to the diameter of the locking groove.

[0014] In one embodiment, the trigger unit further comprises a trigger unit housing, the locking assembly is disposed at an upper end of the interior of the trigger unit housing, and the unlocking assembly is disposed at a lower end of the interior of the trigger unit housing, the locking assembly being an upper portion of the trigger unit and the unlocking assembly being a lower portion of the trigger unit;

[0015] A vertical mounting hole is provided inside the trigger unit housing, and an annular mounting platform is provided on the inner wall of the vertical mounting hole, which divides the vertical mounting hole into an upper mounting cavity and a lower mounting cavity;

[0018] The first magnetic element, the second magnetic element and the third magnetic element have the same magnetic direction.

[0019] Specifically, the second magnetic element is fixed to the locking slider and moves with it. A slot is provided within the trigger unit housing to guide the up and down movement of the locking slider and the second magnetic element, achieving effective locking and unlocking. Furthermore, a stopper is provided at the bottom of the slot to limit the range of motion of the locking slider and the second magnetic element.

[0020] The trigger unit housing has a structure inside which a pressing member passes, enabling effective coordination between the pressing operation and the elastic recovery assembly. The pressing member also has a structure for securing the third magnetic element and is capable of moving up and down within the trigger unit housing.

[0021] The third magnetic element is fixed to the pressing component and installed through the bottom of the trigger unit housing, working in conjunction with the elastic recovery assembly. The lower plate of the trigger unit housing is used to seal and secure the pressing component, ensuring it remains stable during movement and prevents it from falling out.

[0022] The second magnetic element and the third magnetic element have the same magnetic direction and attract each other, so that the locking slider and the pressing component remain stationary.

[0023] In one embodiment, the elastic recovery component is a spring arranged in the lower mounting cavity in a compressed state, one end of the spring is fixed to the inner wall of the lower mounting cavity, and the other end is fixed to the pressing component.

[0024] Specifically, a compression space (lower mounting cavity) for spring compression is provided inside the trigger unit housing, and the spring is installed through the bottom of the trigger unit housing to provide the necessary support and rebound force for the pressing component.

[0029] One end of the spring is fixed in the lower mounting cavity, and the other end is fixed on the guide ring.

[0030] In one embodiment, the sum of the axial thicknesses of the guide ring and the third magnetic element is smaller than the distance between the annular mounting platform and the lower plate of the trigger unit housing.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] When the trigger unit approaches the locking unit, the locking slider and the second magnetic element on its upper portion are attracted to the first magnetic element in the locking unit, causing them to move toward the first magnetic element in the locking unit. During this process, the locking slider smoothly inserts into the locking slot in the trigger unit. The centers of the first and second magnetic elements are aligned and have the same magnetic direction, forming a stable attractive force. The attraction stops after reaching the locked position, ensuring a stable locking function.

[0033] When the push member is pressed, it compresses the spring, causing the third magnetic element on its upper portion to approach the second magnetic element on the locking slider. The third and second magnetic elements align in the same magnetic direction, attracting each other. As the distance between the third magnetic element and the second magnetic element decreases, the locking slider moves downward, unlocking the device.

[0034] Subsequently, the trigger unit is moved to separate it from the locking unit, completely disconnecting the two. When the external force is released, the elastic restoring force generated by the compression spring quickly resets the pressing component, and the second and third magnetic elements return to their initial positions.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0036] 1. This utility model utilizes the interaction between magnetic components to achieve fast and reliable locking and unlocking, overcoming many of the drawbacks of traditional mechanical locking methods. Magnetic triggering technology significantly reduces physical wear during operation, improving component durability. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the magnetic components, the locking mechanism can complete its operation in a shorter time, improving efficiency. Furthermore, the contactless operation of the trigger and locking units not only reduces wear but also mitigates the risk of failure due to long-term use.

[0037] 2. Mechanical wear is no longer the main factor affecting the self-locking structure. Its service life is mainly affected by magnetic attenuation. Taking the common neodymium iron boron magnet as an example, in the natural environment, the magnetic attenuation is slow, and this structure can still function.

[0038] 3. Magnetic trigger technology provides innovative ideas for the development of modern locking mechanisms, meeting users' growing demand for convenience, safety and efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0098] Subsequently, the trigger unit 2 is moved to separate it from the locking unit 1, thereby completely disconnecting the two. When the external force is released, the elastic restoring force generated by the compression spring 205 quickly resets the pressing component 302, and the second magnetic element 5 and the third magnetic element 6 return to their initial positions.
