Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of door locks, in particular to a vehicle door lock. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, vehicle safety has become a key concern for consumers. As a crucial component for ensuring vehicle safety, the performance of door locks directly impacts both the effectiveness of vehicle anti-theft measures and the safety of users' personal and property. Traditional door locks primarily consist of a lock housing and a self-locking lever, which locks and unlocks the door through the action of the lever.

[0003] However, in practice, traditional car door locks have some shortcomings. In particular, if there's no proper unlocking mechanism after the self-locking lever has locked, occupants may be unable to quickly open the door and escape in the event of a malfunction or emergency (such as a child being trapped), posing a significant threat to the lives of those inside. Furthermore, in some cases, if a door locks and can't be opened properly, extreme measures like smashing windows are often necessary to gain entry. This not only causes unnecessary property damage but can also delay rescue efforts in an emergency. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only 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 ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications 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 indications will also change accordingly.

[0024] The utility model provides a vehicle door lock.

[0025] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1-3 The door lock comprises a lock housing 1, a self-locking rod 2 and a self-locking linkage 3, and also comprises an unlocking mechanism for unlocking or locking the self-locking rod after it is locked;

[0026] The unlocking mechanism includes an unlocking rod 4 connected to a self-locking linkage and a lock core 5 connected to the unlocking rod. The unlocking rod extends outside the lock housing and is connected to the lock core. After the lock core is inserted with an adapter key and rotated, it can drive the self-locking rod through the unlocking rod and the self-locking linkage to complete the unlocking action or the locking action.

[0027] In the above technical solution, a separate, additional unlocking mechanism is provided to unlock the self-locking lever after it is locked. The self-locking lever can be unlocked or locked simply by inserting the key and rotating the lock cylinder, thus simplifying the user experience and improving the user experience. In an emergency, the unlocking mechanism allows passengers or rescuers to quickly open the door, avoiding the problem of being unable to escape or rescue in time due to the self-locking door, thereby improving user safety.

[0028] Specifically, it also includes a connecting plate 6, one end of which is rotatably connected to one end of the unlocking rod, and the other end is provided with a connecting hole 7 connected to the core shaft of the lock cylinder, an action step 8 is provided in the connecting hole 7, and a driving step 9 adapted to the above-mentioned action step 8 is provided on the core shaft.

[0029] In this embodiment, the interaction between the active step on the connecting plate and the drive step on the lock cylinder shaft ensures accurate transmission of power to the unlocking lever during the lock cylinder's rotation, improving transmission efficiency. The connecting plate design ensures a stable connection between the lock cylinder and the unlocking lever, preventing wear and other factors from affecting the unlocking function even after long-term use, thereby enhancing system reliability. The design of the connecting hole simplifies the assembly process, enabling quick and accurate assembly on the production line, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0030] Specifically, it also includes an upper lock bolt shaft 10 and a lower lock bolt shaft 11 arranged on the lock housing, an upper connecting plate 12 is provided on one end of the upper lock bolt shaft, and a lower connecting plate 13 is provided on one end of the lower lock bolt shaft, a tension spring 14 is connected between the upper connecting plate 12 and the lower connecting plate 13, and an unlocking wrench 15 is rotatably connected to the lock housing away from the side of the lower lock bolt shaft, the unlocking wrench 15 has an active step 16, and the lower connecting plate has a driven step 17, a rotating piece 18 is rotatably connected between the active step and the driven step, and transmission steps 19 are provided on both sides of the rotating piece 18 to offset the above-mentioned active step and driven step.

[0031] In this embodiment, by swinging the unlocking wrench, the rotating piece and the pull ring are linked to drive the upper lock tongue shaft and the lower lock tongue shaft to rotate to achieve manual unlocking.

[0032] Among them, the design of the upper lock tongue shaft and the lower lock tongue shaft, combined with the action of the tension spring, enables the car door lock to respond flexibly when subjected to external unlocking force, which not only ensures stability in the locked state, but also allows smooth operation when unlocking.

[0033] The active step on the unlocking wrench, the passive step on the lower connecting plate, and the rotating piece work together to achieve a coordinated release between multiple components, making the unlocking action more consistent and efficient. The rational arrangement of the various components reduces friction and wear between them, extending the service life of the entire door lock.

[0034] Specifically, the lower connecting plate extends with a self-locking plate 20, and a linkage plate 21 is provided on one end of the self-locking linkage member. Under the downward pressure of the self-locking rod, the linkage plate can extend under the self-locking plate and press against the self-locking plate to complete self-locking.

[0035] In this embodiment, the coordinated design of the self-locking plate and the linkage plate ensures that under the downward pressure of the self-locking rod, the linkage plate can accurately extend under the self-locking plate and press against the self-locking plate, thereby achieving a reliable self-locking function.

[0036] Specifically, a guide plate 22 is fixed on the lock housing at a side away from the lower lock bolt shaft, and a guide groove 23 is provided on the guide plate for sliding cooperation with the linkage plate.

[0037] In this embodiment, the design of the guide plate and guide slot ensures smooth movement of the linkage plate, preventing any jamming or offset, and enabling smoother locking and unlocking. The guide slot provides a precise trajectory for the linkage plate, ensuring accurate positioning of each movement and improving the system's positioning accuracy.

[0038] Specifically, an upper lock tongue 24 is provided on the upper lock tongue shaft, a lower lock tongue 25 is provided on the lower lock tongue shaft, a lock hole 26 is provided on one side of the upper lock tongue 24, and a first convex step 27 and a second convex step 28 that can be engaged with the lock hole are provided on the lower lock tongue 25.

[0039] Two first convex steps and a second convex step that are engaged with the lock mouth are provided on the lower lock tongue, which can realize two locking actions and improve its use safety.

[0040] Technical personnel please note: Although the utility model has been described according to the above specific implementation methods, the concept of the utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification using the concept of the utility model will be included in the scope of protection of this patent right.
