Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clock spring technology, and in particular to a locking structure for a clock spring. Background Art

[0002] In existing technology, a clock spring is a device used to connect the main airbag to the airbag wiring harness, also known as an airbag clock spring. It is typically wound around the steering wheel shaft, loosening or tightening as the steering wheel rotates to ensure the wiring harness does not break when the steering wheel is turned. The clock spring is designed to remain safe even at the steering wheel's extreme turning positions; therefore, special care is needed during installation to ensure it is in the center position to avoid overstretching. In existing technology, if the clock spring lacks locking during use, it will rotate excessively, potentially causing internal wiring breakage and affecting its operation.

[0003] Therefore, this application proposes a locking structure for a clock spring to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing clock springs, where excessive rotation can occur if there is no locking mechanism, leading to internal circuit breakage and affecting usability. This invention proposes a locking structure for clock springs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A locking structure for a clock spring includes a housing and a clock spring;

[0007] A control box, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer casing;

[0008] A movable plate is slidably connected to the inner left side wall of the control box, and a button is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate, with the top of the button extending outside the control box;

[0009] A control ring, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the housing;

[0010] A hollow locking plate is fixedly connected to the top of the clock spring;

[0011] Two clamping plates are fixedly connected to the rear side of the clock spring;

[0012] A locking mechanism includes an auxiliary plate, a push plate, a hollow plate, a connecting plate, an extension plate, and a positioning plate. The auxiliary plate is slidably connected to the rear inner wall of the control box. The push plate is rotatably connected to the front side of the auxiliary plate. The hollow plate is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the control box, and the front side of the hollow plate is rotatably connected to the right side of the push plate. The connecting plate is rotatably connected to the front side of the hollow plate. The extension plate is slidably connected to the rear inner wall of the control box, and the bottom of the extension plate is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate. The top of the extension plate extends outside the control box. The positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of the extension plate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the locking plate is provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning plate is movably connected to the positioning hole.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting plate is slidably connected inside the hollow plate, and a limiting hole is provided at the bottom of the control box, with the limiting plate and the limiting hole being movably connected.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the control box is provided with a through hole, and an extension plate passes through the through hole and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole. A No. 1 spring is fixedly connected to the top of the extension plate, and one end of the No. 1 spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the control box.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rear inner wall of the control box is rotatably connected to two rotating columns, and the outer walls of the two rotating columns are fitted with the same transmission belt.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate, and one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow plate. Beneficial effects

[0018] 1. By inserting the clock spring with the clamping plate into the housing, the clamping plate passes through the housing for fixation, and the locking plate passes through the control ring. At this time, pressing the button will lower the plate, which will control the movable plate to descend. The movable plate will then control the transmission belt to rotate, and the transmission belt will synchronously control the auxiliary plate to rise.

[0019] 2. As the auxiliary plate moves, it can push the push plate to move. At the same time, the push plate can push the hollow plate to the right. When the hollow plate moves, it can push the connecting plate, thereby pushing the extension plate to rise. When the extension plate moves, it can push the positioning plate to rise. At this time, the positioning plate passes through the locking plate and fixes the locking plate, thereby positioning the clock spring.

[0020] 3. The movement of the hollow plate drives the movement of the limiting plate. The limiting plate descends through the second spring and connects with the limiting hole to lock the entire device, ensuring the stability of the clock spring lock.

[0021] In this invention: a clock spring connected to a clamping plate is inserted into the outer shell, the clamping plate passes through the outer shell for fixation, and a locking plate passes through the control ring. By pressing a button, the clock spring is lowered, and the button can assist the positioning plate in passing through the locking plate. At the same time, the limiting plate is connected to the limiting hole to lock the entire device and ensure the stability of the clock spring locking. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The locking mechanism includes an auxiliary plate 7, a push plate 8, a hollow plate 9, a connecting plate 10, an extension plate 11, and a positioning plate 13. The auxiliary plate 7 is slidably connected to the rear inner wall of the control box 2. The push plate 8 is rotatably connected to the front side of the auxiliary plate 7. The hollow plate 9 is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the control box 2, and the front side of the hollow plate 9 is rotatably connected to the right side of the push plate 8. The connecting plate 10 is rotatably connected to the front side of the hollow plate 9. The extension plate 11 is slidably connected to the rear inner wall of the control box 2, and the bottom of the extension plate 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate 10. The top of the extension plate 11 extends to the outside of the control box 2. The positioning plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension plate 11.

[0035] With the above structure: by setting up a movable plate 4, the movable plate 4 moves with the movement of button 3, which facilitates the movement of the auxiliary plate 7; by setting up a control ring 16, the control ring 16 plays the role of assisting the locking plate 15 to pass through; by setting up a clamping plate 19, the clamping plate 19 plays the role of initially controlling the connection between the clock spring 14 and the outer shell 1.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the locking plate 15 is provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning plate 13 is movably connected to the positioning hole. When the positioning plate 13 passes through the positioning hole, the positioning plate 13 can fix the locking plate 15.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting plate 17 is slidably connected inside the hollow plate 9, and a limiting hole is provided at the bottom of the control box 2. The limiting plate 17 is movably connected to the limiting hole. By setting the limiting plate 17 and connecting the limiting plate 17 to the limiting hole, the entire device is locked.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two rotating columns 5 are rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the control box 2. The outer walls of the two rotating columns 5 are fitted with the same transmission belt 6. The outer wall of the transmission belt 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable plate 4 and the left side of the auxiliary plate 7. When the movable plate 4 moves, the movable plate 4 controls the transmission belt 6 to rotate, thereby synchronously controlling the auxiliary plate 7 to rise.

By setting the second spring 18, the second spring 18 is initially in a stretched state, which facilitates pulling the limiting plate 17 down.

[0041] It should be noted that the specific model of clock spring 14 used is to be selected by those skilled in the art, and the above-mentioned clock spring 14 is existing technology, so this solution will not elaborate on it.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In actual operation, the clock spring 14 connected to the clamping plate 19 is inserted into the outer shell 1, and the clamping plate 19 passes through the outer shell 1 for fixation. At the same time, the locking plate 15 passes through the control ring 16. At this time, pressing the button 3 lowers the plate 4, which in turn controls the transmission belt 6 to rotate. The transmission belt 6 then synchronously controls the auxiliary plate 7 to rise. As the auxiliary plate 7 moves, it pushes the push plate 8 to move, and the movement of the push plate 8 pushes the hollow plate 9 to the right. When the hollow plate 9 moves, it can push the connecting plate 10, thereby pushing the extension plate 11 to rise. When the extension plate 11 moves, it can push the positioning plate 13 to rise. At this time, the positioning plate 13 passes through the locking plate 15 and fixes the locking plate 15, thereby positioning the clock spring 14. At the same time, the movement of the hollow plate 9 drives the movement of the limiting plate 17. The limiting plate 17 descends through the second spring 18 and connects with the limiting hole to lock the entire device and ensure the stability of the clock spring 14.
