Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive door lock technology, specifically to an inward-opening double-pull mechanism for automotive door locks. Background Technology
[0002] Ratchet-pawl door locks are a common automotive door lock structure that uses the interaction of a ratchet and a pawl to lock and unlock the door. This structure is widely used in automotive door locks due to its high reliability and security. The working principle of a ratchet-pawl door lock is based on the mechanical engagement of the ratchet and pawl. When the door is closed, the latch strikes the ratchet, causing it to rotate and engage the latch. When the door reaches the closed position, the pawl stops the ratchet, limiting its rotation and keeping the door closed. During unlocking, the release mechanism releases the ratchet by actuating the pawl, allowing the ratchet to rotate and unlock the door.
[0003] Existing car door locks are basically single-pull inward-opening mechanisms, where the locking and unlocking parts are separate. Unlocking is achieved via a pull cable connected to an inward-locking button, which affects user experience. Therefore, we propose a double-pull inward-opening mechanism for car door locks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an internal double-pull opening mechanism for car door locks. Unlocking can be achieved simply by pulling the internal opening handle, simplifying the operation and streamlining the door lock mechanism to save costs. This is the trend in the development of door lock bodies both domestically and internationally. It solves the problem that the internal locking and opening parts of car door locks are separate, and the unlocking is achieved by connecting the internal locking button to the pull cable, which affects the user experience.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an inward-opening double-pull opening mechanism for a car door lock, comprising a housing and a lock body, wherein an inward-opening rocker arm connected to an inward handle is provided on the housing, the inward-opening rocker arm is connected to a locking linkage through an inward-locking rocker arm and is used to drive the locking linkage to reciprocate; an inward-opening linkage arm is connected to the inward-opening rocker arm.
[0006] The lock body is provided with an outward opening linkage arm and an opening rocker arm. A sliding arm is provided between the outward opening linkage arm and the opening rocker arm. The locking link is used to restrict the movement of the sliding arm. After the locking link reciprocates, it can cause the sliding arm to return to the unlocking direction under the action of the return spring, so that the outward opening linkage arm and the opening rocker arm can overlap.
[0007] The inner opening linkage arm is used to push the outer opening linkage arm and the opening rocker arm connected to the outer opening linkage arm to move. The opening rocker arm is used to drive the pawl of the lock body to move to disengage and release the ratchet.

[0010] Preferably, the inner locking rocker arm is installed on the inner locking shaft of the housing. One end of the notch is clamped onto the cylinder of the locking connecting rod to form an overlap. The waist-shaped slot of the locking connecting rod is installed on the locking connecting rod mounting column of the housing, and the locking connecting rod can reciprocate along it.
[0011] Preferably, the outer opening linkage arm and the opening rocker arm are sequentially installed on the opening shaft of the lock body. One side of the sliding arm is placed inside the chute of the opening rocker arm, and the cylinder on the other side is placed inside the waist-shaped slot of the opening rocker arm and can reciprocate along the waist-shaped slot. The flanging of the opening rocker arm is placed outside the pawl connecting shaft to form an overlap.
[0012] Preferably, the ratchet wheel is installed on the ratchet wheel shaft, and the pawl is installed on the pawl shaft. One ends of the ratchet wheel shaft and the pawl shaft are both riveted to the door lock cover plate of the lock body, and the other ends are riveted to the connecting plate of the lock body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0014] By adding flanging to the inner opening rocker arm and adding a limit to the inner locking rocker arm in the present utility model, the inner opening and unlocking are connected together to achieve linkage. The inner opening handle unlocks with the first pull and opens with the second pull. This enables the user to unlock by simply pulling the inner opening handle, simplifies the operation, and at the same time streamlines the door lock mechanism and saves costs.
