[0002] As the name suggests, an RV door lock refers to the door locking system installed on an RV. As a specialized type of vehicle, RVs not only possess the basic functions of a typical car but also incorporate residential functions. Therefore, their door lock systems are unique and important. The primary function of an RV door lock is similar to that of a regular door lock: to ensure security and prevent unauthorized entry.

[0003] The invention patent with publication number US20240151071A1 in the existing United States patent discloses a "Deadbolt drive mechanism, handle fixing mechanism, and intelligent recreational vehicle lock". The door lock of this patent has an obvious safety hazard in its structure. Specifically, after the lock tongue is successfully ejected and locked in position, it lacks the necessary self-locking or lock holding mechanism. Therefore, once the lock tongue is directly pressed by an external force, whether it is a deliberate attempt at destruction or an unintentional touch, the lock tongue will be easily pressed back into the lock body. Moreover, during the driving of the RV, if the RV is subjected to strong bumps, the lock tongue may also retract into the lock body. Therefore, this design that lacks a self-locking function directly weakens the protection capability of the door lock and increases the safety risk.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a RV door lock transmission device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 10 .

[0035] The utility model provides a door lock transmission device for a recreational vehicle, comprising a first lock body 100 and a second lock body 200. The first lock body 100 and the second lock body 200 are detachably connected.

[0036] Specifically, if Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the first lock body 100 and the second lock body 200 are arranged in parallel. The first lock body 100 has a plurality of connection holes 101 on the side facing the second lock body 200. Each of the connection holes 101 is connected to a stud 102, which is used to increase the installation distance between the first lock body 100 and the second lock body 200. The second lock body 200 has a plurality of through holes 201 on the side facing the second lock body 200. The through holes 201 correspond to the studs 102 in a one-to-one manner. Screws are inserted between the through holes 201 and the corresponding studs 102 to secure the first lock body 100 and the second lock body 200.

[0037] In this embodiment, the interior of the stud 102 is hollow and has an internal thread, and the stud 102 is plugged into the connecting hole 101 through the thread, so that the stud 102 and the connecting hole 101 can be disassembled.

[0038] Therefore, when installing the door lock, the user can pre-align the portion of the first lock body 100 without the stud 102 with the door lock mounting hole reserved in the RV door panel. Without the obstruction of the stud 102, the first lock body 100 can be more smoothly and unobstructedly inserted into the door lock mounting hole, avoiding installation difficulties caused by size mismatch. This step greatly simplifies the installation process.

[0039] After the first lock body 100 is successfully inserted into the door panel, the user only needs to align the stud 102 with the door lock installation hole and screw it in. After the stud 102 is installed, its length effectively lengthens the connection between the first lock body 100 and the second lock body 200, making it easier to install the second lock body 200.

[0040] Once the stud 102 is installed, the user can insert the second lock body 200 into the other end of the door panel, ensuring that it is horizontally aligned with the first lock body 100. A screw is then inserted between the through hole 201 and the installed stud 102, and the tightening force of the screw securely connects the first lock body 100 and the second lock body 200, completing the door lock installation.

[0041] It's worth noting that this installation structure eliminates the need for tedious enlargement when the reserved door lock mounting hole on an RV door panel is smaller than the standard dimensions. The removable connection between stud 102 and connection hole 101 allows for smooth installation even in smaller door lock mounting holes. This approach not only improves installation convenience but also reduces the risk of damage to the door lock due to improper installation, further enhancing overall product quality and user satisfaction.

[0042] In this embodiment, the length of the studs can be selected based on the thickness of the door panels. It is understood that when the door panels are thin, shorter studs are used for connection; when the door panels are thick, longer studs are used for connection. By providing studs of different lengths, the door lock can be easily installed on door panels of varying thicknesses.

[0043] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the self-locking structure of the lock tongue 301 in the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transmission mechanism 300 is provided on the first lock body 100 and / or the second lock body 200; the transmission mechanism 300 includes a lock tongue 301 that can slide linearly, and a first gear 302 for pushing the lock tongue 301 to slide; the radial surface of the first gear 302 is provided with an eccentric piece 3021 away from the center of the gear circle, and the eccentric piece 3021 is inserted into the lock tongue 301 and is slidably connected to the lock tongue 301; the eccentric piece 3021 and the lock tongue 301 have an active state and a self-locking state between them; when in the self-locking state, the eccentric piece 3021 and the lock tongue 301 form a triangular support structure.

[0044] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 300 is mounted within the first lock body 100. The eccentric member 3021 is a circular shaft. The first lock body 100 defines a slideway 103. The lock tongue 301 is located within and slidably connected to the slideway 103. The first gear 302 is rotatably mounted within the first lock body 100 and located on one side of the slideway 103. The lock tongue 301 is L-shaped and has a long rod portion 3011 and a short rod portion 3012, forming a right angle between the long rod portion 3011 and the short rod portion 3012. The short rod portion 3012 is positioned toward the first gear 302 and defines a through slot 3013. The eccentric member 3021 is inserted into and slidably connected to the through slot 3013. The through slot 3013 has a distal end that is distal to the long rod portion 3011. When the eccentric member 3021 is located at the farthest end, the eccentric member 3021 , the short rod portion 3012 and the long rod portion 3011 form a right triangle, achieving a self-locking state.

[0045] See also Figures 6 to 8The lock tongue 301 can slide left and right on the slideway 103. The slideway 103 serves as a track for the lock tongue 301 to move. It not only ensures the stability and accuracy of the lock tongue 301 during the sliding process, but also provides it with necessary guidance and support, thereby improving the sliding stability of the lock tongue 301. When the lock tongue 301 slides to the right, the lock tongue 301 will slide out of the first lock body 100 and insert into the corresponding door sill lock hole, thereby locking the door.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, a cover plate is installed on the side of the first lock body 100 facing the second lock body 200. When the cover plate is installed on the first lock body 100, the slide 103 can be closed. Thus, the lock tongue 301 is positioned in the first lock body 100 to prevent the lock tongue 301 from shaking back and forth.

[0047] The first gear 302 can rotate under external force. As the first gear 302 rotates, the eccentric member 3021 on the first gear 302 also rotates synchronously. During the rotation of the eccentric member 3021, due to its sliding connection with the through slot 3013, the eccentric member 3021 can push the lock tongue 301 to slide horizontally. This converts the circular motion of the first gear 302 into linear motion of the lock tongue 301.

[0048] See also Figure 8 When the eccentric member 3021 moves to the end of the through slot 3013 farthest from the long rod 3011, the eccentric member 3021, the short rod 3012, and the long rod 3011 form a right triangle. Simultaneously, the plane formed between the first gear 302 and the eccentric member 3021 is substantially parallel to the long rod 3011. Consequently, when the lock tongue 301 is pressed by an external force, the eccentric member 3021 cooperates with the first gear 302 to resist the pressing force, thereby locking the lock tongue 301 and preventing it from sliding, thereby achieving self-locking. This prevents the lock tongue 301 from being pressed into the first lock body 100 by external forces, thereby improving the security of the door lock.

[0049] Of course, the lock tongue 301 is not limited to the L-shaped structure of this embodiment. In other embodiments of the lock tongue 301 (not shown), the lock tongue 301 can also be a single straight bar structure, with the width of the lock tongue 301 increased, and the through slot 3013 can be provided at the end near the first gear 302, with the end of the through slot 3013 away from the centerline of the lock tongue 301 being the farthest end. In this way, the straight bar lock tongue 301 can also have the self-locking function.

[0050] Of course, the lock tongue 301 is not limited to the two shapes mentioned above, and can also be a trapezoid, a triangle, or any other geometric shape suitable for the self-locking mode of the present invention.

[0051] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the transmission mechanism 300 also includes a second gear 303, which is rotatably installed in the first lock body 100 and meshes with the first gear 302. A motor 306 is installed in the first lock body 100, and the power output shaft of the motor 306 is connected to the second gear 303. The center of the first gear 302 is plugged with a central shaft 3022, and the two ends of the central shaft 3022 are respectively installed with a knob switch 304 and a mechanical lock core 305, and the knob switch 304 and the mechanical lock core 305 respectively pass through the first lock body 100 and the second lock body 200.

[0052] In this embodiment, the knob switch 304 is set on the side of the door lock facing the room. Turning the knob switch 304 by hand can drive the central axis 3022 and the first gear 302 to rotate. The rotating first gear 302 drives the lock tongue 301 to slide, so that the door lock can be unlocked or locked manually.

[0053] The mechanical lock cylinder 305 is located on the side of the door lock facing the outside, and a suitable key can be inserted into the mechanical lock cylinder 305. When the key is inserted into the mechanical lock cylinder 305, the mechanical lock cylinder 305 is unlocked and can be rotated by the key, which in turn drives the central shaft 3022 and the first gear 302 to rotate. The rotating first gear 302 drives the lock tongue 301 to slide, thereby allowing the door lock to be unlocked or locked using the key.

[0054] The motor 306 can drive the second gear 303 to rotate. When the second gear 303 rotates, since the second gear 303 is engaged with the first gear 302, the second gear 303 will also synchronously drive the first gear 302 to rotate. The rotating first gear 302 drives the lock tongue 301 to slide, so that the door lock can be unlocked or locked in an electric manner.

[0055] Motor 306 can be equipped with an intelligent control panel. This control panel can be equipped with a fingerprint unlocking module, a password unlocking module, a wireless remote control unlocking module, a video surveillance module, a facial recognition module, a card swiping module, an NFC module, and a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module. By using multiple unlocking methods, the door lock can be unlocked in a variety of ways, achieving intelligent control unlocking and improving user convenience. These intelligent control methods are well known in the art and will not be described in detail in this application.
