[0054] ​​The present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely exemplary and are not limiting to the present disclosure. In addition, it should also be understood that for the convenience and clarity of the description, only parts of the relevant are shown in the drawings.

[0055] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the present disclosure can be combined if there is no conflict. The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0056] Unless otherwise specified, the exemplary embodiments / examples shown will be understood as providing exemplary features of various details that can implement the technical concepts of the present disclosure in practice. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the features of various embodiments / examples can be additionally combined, separated, interchanged and / or rearranged without departing from the technical concepts of the present disclosure.

[0057] In the drawings, cross-hatching and / or shading are generally used to indicate that a portion of one component is positioned above another component. As such, unless otherwise specified, the presence of cross-hatching or shading is not a requirement of the present disclosure. In addition, for clarity and / or descriptive purposes, the sizes of components shown in the drawings can be exaggerated relative to other components. When the exemplary embodiments can be carried out in different ways, a specific process sequence can be performed in a different order from the described order. For example, two consecutively described processes can be performed substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order from the described order. In addition, the same reference numerals denote the same components.

[0058] When a component is referred to as being "on" or "above" another component, "connected to" or "coupled to" another component, it can be directly on, directly connected to, or directly coupled to the other component, or there can be intervening components. However, when a component is referred to as being "directly on", "directly connected to", or "directly coupled to" another component, there are no intervening components. For this reason, the term "connected" can refer to a physical connection, an electrical connection, etc., with or without intervening components.

[0059] For descriptive purposes, this disclosure may use spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “above,” “higher,” and “side (e.g., in a “sidewall”)” to describe the relationship between one component and another component as shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, the spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device during use, operation, and / or manufacture. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, a component described as “below” or “under” another component or feature would subsequently be positioned “above” said other component or feature. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both “above” and “below” orientations. Furthermore, the device may be otherwise positioned (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), thus interpreting the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein accordingly.

[0060] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well. Furthermore, when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” and variations thereof are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, parts, components, and / or groups thereof. It should also be noted that, as used herein, the terms “substantially,” “about,” and other similar terms are used as approximate terms rather than as terms of degree, thus explaining the inherent biases in measurements, calculated values, and / or provided values ​​that would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art.

Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a locking system (in a half-locked state) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A structural diagram from another angle. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a locking system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure (fully locked state). Figure 6 yes Figure 5 A structural diagram from another angle.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the locking system disclosed herein may include components such as a bolt component 100, a pawl component 200, a locking lever 300, and an unlocking lever 400.

[0063] Although Figures 1 to 6 Although not shown, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the lock system of the present disclosure can include a lock body, and the lock bolt member 100, the pawl member 200, the locking rod 300 and the unlocking rod 400 are rotatably arranged in the lock body. In addition, the lock system of the present disclosure can be a side door lock, a machine cover lock or a trunk lock, that is, the present disclosure does not limit the arrangement position of the lock system.

[0064] The lock bolt member 100 of the present disclosure is arranged to rotate along a first axis and includes at least a full lock position and an open position; specifically, the lock bolt member 100 of the present disclosure can include a full lock position, a half lock position and an open position. In the direction shown, when the lock bolt member 100 rotates clockwise, it can move from the open position to the half lock position or the full lock position in sequence. Figure 1 In the direction shown, when the lock bolt member 100 rotates counterclockwise, it can move from the full lock position to the half lock position or the open position in sequence. Figure 5 In the direction shown, when the lock bolt member 100 rotates counterclockwise, it can move from the full lock position to the half lock position or the open position in sequence.

[0065] In addition, the clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation of the lock bolt member 100 can be driven by a motor or by the restoring force of a torsional spring. Since this technical feature is a common feature in the prior art, it will not be described again in the present disclosure.

[0066] Correspondingly, when the lock bolt member 100 is in the open position, the lock system is in Figure 1 the open state shown. When the lock bolt member 100 is in the half lock position, the lock system is in Figure 3 the half lock state shown. When the lock bolt member 100 is in the full lock position, the lock system is in Figure 3 the full lock state shown.

[0067] The pawl member 200 is arranged to rotate along a second axis and includes at least a first position and a second position, wherein when the pawl member 200 is in the first position, the pawl member 200 is used to limit the lock bolt member 100 in the full lock position or the half lock position; when the pawl member 200 is in the second position, the lock bolt member 100 is allowed to move from the full lock position to the open position.

[0068] wherein, Figure 1 The pawl member 200 shown in the above figure is in the second position. Correspondingly, when the pawl member 200 rotates clockwise, it can move from the second position to the first position. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The pawl member 200 shown in the above figure is in the first position. Correspondingly, when the pawl member 200 rotates counterclockwise, it can move from the first position to the second position.

[0069] Figure 7 andFigure 8 is a structural schematic view of different angles of the pawl member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0070] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the lock system of the present disclosure further comprises a first reset member 500 for providing a reset force to the pawl member 200 so that the pawl member 200 has a movement tendency from the first position to the second position by the reset force. In a preferred embodiment, the first reset member 500 can be a torsion spring. Moreover, in the direction shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the pawl member 200 has a movement tendency away from the latch member 100 by the reset force provided by the torsion spring.

[0071] The lock dead bar 300 of the present disclosure is arranged to rotate along a third axis, wherein the lock dead bar 300 is at least used to limit the pawl member 200 in the first position. Specifically, the lock dead bar 300 of the present disclosure comprises a lock position and an unlock position, as shown in Figure 1 , the lock dead bar 300 is in the unlock position. As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the lock dead bar 300 is in the lock position. That is, in the direction shown in Figure 1 , when the lock dead bar 300 rotates clockwise, it will move from the unlock position to the lock position, and when the lock dead bar 300 moves from the unlock position to the lock position, it can push the pawl member 200 to move so that the pawl member 200 moves from the second position to the first position. Conversely, in the direction shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , when the lock dead bar 300 rotates counterclockwise, it will move from the lock position to the unlock position, at this time, since the pawl member 200 is out of the control of the lock dead bar 300, it will move from the first position to the second position under the reset force of the first reset member 500.

[0072] In the structure of the lock system of the present disclosure, the pawl member 200 can be in contact with the lock dead bar 300 at all times, so that the pawl member 200 can be driven to move by the lock dead bar 300. In another implementation form, the pawl member 200 can also be out of contact with the lock dead bar 300, at this time, the pawl member 200 can be driven to move from the second position to the first position by the unlocking bar 400.

[0073] When the lock dead bar 300 is in the lock position, the lock dead bar 300 limits the pawl member 200 in the first position; correspondingly, the lock dead bar 300 comprises a locking surface 310, when the lock dead bar 300 is in the lock position, the pawl member 200 is in contact with the locking surface 310, and the lock dead bar 300 limits the pawl member 200 in the first position.

[0074] When the dead bar 300 is in the unlocking position, the first reset component 500 drives the pawl component 200 to move from the first position to the second position, wherein the dead bar 300 is also used to limit the pawl component 200 in the second position. At this time, the dead bar 300 also includes a driving surface 320, when the dead bar 300 is in the unlocking position, the pawl component 200 is in contact with the driving surface 320 of the dead bar 300, so that the pawl component 200 is limited in the second position. That is, in the unlocking process of the lock system of the present disclosure, the pawl component 200 can push the dead bar 300 to rotate during the movement from the first position to the second position. Specifically, in the state and direction shown, the dead bar 300 will be first driven by the unlocking lever 400 to move counterclockwise by a certain angle, at this time the pawl component 200 is released by the dead bar 300, and the pawl component 200 will be able to move from the first position to the second position; during the movement of the pawl component 200 from the first position to the second position, one corner of the pawl component 200 will be in contact with the driving surface 320 of the dead bar 300, and can push the dead bar 300 to further rotate counterclockwise. In addition, due to the structure and position of the pawl component 200 and the dead bar 300, finally, the pawl component 200 and the dead bar 300 are in the position shown, at this position, the pawl component 200 can be in pressure contact with the dead bar 300, and at this time, the dead bar 300 limits the pawl component 200 in the second position. Figure 5 Figure 1

[0075] More specifically, as shown in Figure 1 When the pawl component 200 is in the second position, the contact position of the pawl component 200 with the driving surface 320 of the dead bar 300 is located on the side of the plane formed by the second axis and the third axis close to the first axis, so that when the dead bar 300 rotates clockwise, it can push the pawl component 200 to move clockwise synchronously.

[0076] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 The dead bar 300 of the present disclosure is rotatably arranged in the unlocking lever 400, wherein the unlocking lever 400 is used to drive the dead bar 300 to move to the unlocking position. Specifically, the unlocking lever 400 of the present disclosure includes a limiting component 410, which is used to limit the dead bar 300 in the first limiting position, wherein when the latch component 100 is in the full locking position (i.e. when the lock system is in the full locking state), the first limiting position is the dead position of the dead bar 300, that is, the dead bar 300 is both in the first limiting position and in the dead position.

[0077] ​​The lock system of the present disclosure can further comprise a second return component 600 for providing a driving force to the dead bolt 300 so that the dead bolt 300 has a tendency to move towards the first limit position. That is, in the free state, the dead bolt 300 will be restricted by the unlocking lever 400 at the first limit position and be kept at the first limit position by the return force of the second return component 600.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, the unlocking lever 400 and the dead bolt 300 have the same rotation axis. As such, the lock system of the present disclosure has fewer pivoting axes and the structure is correspondingly simpler. Alternatively, the unlocking lever 400 and the dead bolt 300 can have different rotation axes, i.e. the unlocking lever 400 is rotatably arranged at the lock body and the dead bolt 300 is rotatably arranged at the unlocking lever 400.

[0079] Figure 9 is a structural schematic diagram of the latch component according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0080] As shown in Figure 9 , the latch component 100 of the present disclosure comprises a driving surface 110, which is capable of cooperating with the dead bolt 300 to drive the dead bolt 300 to rotate when the latch component 100 moves from the open position to the fully locked position. Specifically, the dead bolt 300 will be able to abut against the driving surface 110 when the latch component 100 moves from the open position to the fully locked position, i.e. the dead bolt 300 is in pressure contact with the driving surface 110, and the dead bolt 300 will be able to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise at any time when the latch component 100 is at different positions, i.e. the driving surface 110 is capable of driving the dead bolt 300 to rotate.

[0081] In other words, the lock system of the present disclosure drives the latch component 100 to rotate when locking, so that the latch component 100 moves from the open position to the fully locked position.

[0082] When the lock system is unlocked, the unlocking lever 400 will be returned, i.e. the unlocking lever 400 will rotate counterclockwise from the position shown in Figure 1 to the position shown in Figure 11 .

[0083] As shown in Figure 11 , when the latch component 100 just leaves the open position, the pawl component 200 is unable to rotate due to being restricted by the latch component 100, and correspondingly, the dead bolt 300 is also unable to rotate.

[0084] The dead bolt 300 comprises an extension 330, which will be in contact with the driving surface 110 when the latch component 100 leaves the open position, at which time the dead bolt 300 is restricted at the unlocking position and is unable to rotate.

[0085] When the latch component 100 rotates further counterclockwise, the extension 330 of the locking lever 300 can be located in the groove. At this time, the locking lever 300 can move clockwise under the reset force of the second reset component 600. In addition, since the upper end of the pawl component 200 corresponds to the opening position of the latch component 100, the pawl component 200 can also rotate clockwise. At this time, under the elastic force of the second reset component 600, the locking lever 300 can move from the unlocked position to the locked position. At the same time, the locking lever 300 also drives the pawl component 200 to move from the second position to the first position. Correspondingly, the pawl component 200 keeps the latch component 100 in the half-locked position.

[0086] Furthermore, as the latch component 100 continues to rotate counterclockwise, the extension 330 will disengage from the groove 120. Correspondingly, the latch component 100 will drive the locking lever 300 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. Then, under the action of the reset force of the first reset component 500, the pawl component 200 will move from the first position to the second position.

[0087] When the latch component 100 continues to rotate counterclockwise, the extension 330 will separate from the drive surface 110. At this time, the locking lever 300 can move clockwise under the reset force of the second reset component 600. In addition, since the upper end of the pawl component 200 corresponds to the notch below the opening of the latch component 100, the pawl component 200 can also rotate clockwise. At this time, under the elastic force of the second reset component 600, the locking lever 300 can move from the unlocked position to the locked position. At the same time, the locking lever 300 also drives the pawl component 200 to move from the second position to the first position. Accordingly, the pawl component 200 keeps the latch component 100 in the fully locked position.

[0088] Thus, the locking operation of the lock system disclosed herein is achieved. Furthermore, when the lock system of this disclosure is to be unlocked, it can be achieved by driving the unlocking lever 400 to rotate counterclockwise (to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 (Direction). Figure 5 For example, when the unlocking lever 400 is driven to rotate counterclockwise, it will simultaneously drive the locking lever 300 to rotate counterclockwise. Then the pawl component 200 is released and moves from the first position to the second position. At this time, the bolt component 100 will be allowed to rotate counterclockwise to move from the fully locked position to the open position and unlock the lock system.

[0089] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the pawl component 200 of this disclosure can also be driven by the unlocking lever 400 to move toward the first position. That is, with Figure 11In the illustrated direction, the unlocking lever 400 will be able to drive the pawl member 200 to rotate clockwise so that the pawl member 200 moves away from the second position and moves toward the first position.

[0090] Specifically, the pawl member 200 can include a force receiving surface 210 which can be formed in an arc shape protruding outward, and the unlocking lever 400 can include a force applying surface 420 which can be formed as a protruding member, and when the unlocking lever 400 has a tendency to move clockwise under the action of a spring or the like, the force applying surface 420 can apply a pushing force to the force receiving surface 210 and cause the pawl member 200 to rotate clockwise.

[0091] That is, the movement of the pawl member 200 from the second position to the first position can be completed by the unlocking lever 400 and the lock lever 300 together, and specifically, the first half of the movement can be completed by the unlocking lever 400, and the second half can be completed by the lock lever 300.

[0092] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a motor vehicle including the above-described lock system.
