The first adjusting member 131 slides a certain distance along the first direction, so that the user can easily adjust the relative distance between the lock shell 11 and the fixing plate 12 according to actual needs, thereby quickly adapting to the thickness of the door.

[0034] Optionally, the structure of the adjustment hole 133 can secure the lock case 11 and prevent performance problems caused by loose installation.

[0035] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, one end of the first adjusting member 131 is rotatably connected to the lock housing 11. The first adjusting member 131 has an external thread, and the wall of the adjusting hole 133 has an internal thread that matches the external thread. The first adjusting member 131 is screwed into the adjusting hole 133.

[0036] Optionally, the threaded fit provides the ability to fine-tune. By rotating the first adjusting member 131, the length of the first adjusting member 131 located in the adjusting hole 133 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the lock housing 11 and the fixed plate 12, ensuring that the position of the lock cylinder structure can be precisely adjusted to adapt to doors of different thicknesses.

[0037] Alternatively, threaded connections offer higher mechanical stability, avoiding the risk of the lock cylinder structure loosening due to vibration during long-term use.

[0038] Threaded connections also have the following characteristics:

[0039] Strong shock resistance: The threaded connection, through pre-tightening and locking design, can effectively absorb and resist vibration, thereby keeping the relative distance between the lock housing 11 and the fixing plate 12 stable.

[0040] Self-locking performance: The well-designed threads have good self-locking performance, preventing loosening without the need for additional locking devices, and ensuring that the lock housing 11 and the fixing plate 12 always maintain the required relative distance.

[0041] The threaded connection facilitates installation and disassembly, and is suitable for repeated adjustment of the relative distance between the lock housing 11 and the fixing plate 12 according to different situations. Please refer to... Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the first adjusting member 131 includes a first adjusting rod 1311 with external threads and an adjusting head 1312 disposed on the first adjusting rod 1311; the lock housing 11 has a first connecting hole 111 along a first direction, one end of the first adjusting member 131 is inserted into the first connecting hole 111 and rotatably connected to the lock housing 11, the lock housing 11 has a limiting groove 113 communicating with the first connecting hole 111 along a second direction, the adjusting head 1312 is located in the limiting groove 113, and the threaded end of the first adjusting rod 1311 is screwed into the adjusting hole 133, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction.

[0042] Please see Figures 2 to 4 It is understandable that the second direction is along the horizontal direction, which can be represented as the Y direction.

[0043] Optionally, the first adjusting rod 1311 can rotate relative to the fixed plate 12 and the lock housing 11 within the adjusting hole 133, so as to quickly adjust the distance between the lock housing 11 and the fixed plate 12 to accommodate doors of different thicknesses.

[0044] During the rotation of the first adjusting rod 1311, the adjusting head 1312 is always rotatably connected to the lock housing 11, and the adjusting head 1312 rotates in the limiting groove 113 and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 113, so as to drive the lock housing 11 to move together in the first direction.

[0045] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the lock cylinder structure further includes a retaining ring 16 located in the limiting groove 113, the retaining ring 16 being sleeved on the peripheral side of the first adjusting rod 1311 to prevent the adjusting head 1312 from disengaging from the limiting groove 113.

[0046] Optionally, the outer diameter of the retaining ring 16 is larger than the maximum inner diameter of the first connecting hole 111, thereby restricting the adjusting head 1312 from disengaging from the limiting groove 113, and also allowing the adjusting head 1312 to rotate within the limiting groove 113, thus enhancing the safety and durability of the lock cylinder structure.

[0047] Optionally, the second adjusting member 132 is partially inserted into the first connecting hole 111, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the lock housing 11 and the fixing plate 12.

[0050] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the adjustment cavity is non-circular, such as polygonal or elliptical. A wrench 200 can be inserted into the adjustment cavity, and the cross-sectional shape of the wrench 200 matches that of the adjustment cavity, allowing the adjustment head 1312 to rotate via the wrench 200. This adjustment cavity facilitates fine-tuning using tools, improving operational efficiency.

[0051] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the second adjusting member 132 includes a second adjusting rod 1322 and a limiting ring 1321 connected to one end of the second adjusting rod 1322. The other end of the second adjusting rod 1322 is provided with the adjusting hole 133 and connected to the first adjusting member 1311. The fixing plate 12 is provided with a positioning through hole 122 and a countersunk groove 121 is provided at the opening of the positioning through hole 122. The second adjusting rod 1322 is inserted into the positioning through hole 122 and the limiting ring 1321 is located in the countersunk groove 121.

[0052] Optionally, the second adjusting rod 1322 is inserted into the positioning through hole 122 along the first direction, and the limiting ring 1321 is located in the countersunk groove 121. The countersunk groove 121 restricts the limiting ring 1321 from disengaging from the fixing plate 12 along the first direction. The second adjusting rod 1322 is simultaneously threadedly connected to the first adjusting rod 1311, which effectively enhances the fixing effect of the second adjusting member 132 on the lock shell 11.

[0053] Optionally, the countersunk groove 121 provides an additional support area, capable of withstanding greater tensile forces during use.

[0054] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the lock housing 11 is further provided with a second connecting hole 112 along the first direction, the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 112 are arranged at intervals, and the lock cylinder structure further includes a limiting post connecting the fixing plate 12, the free end of the limiting post being slidably inserted into the second connecting hole 112.

[0055] Optionally, by increasing the cooperation between the second connecting hole 112 and the limiting post, the stability of the overall lock cylinder structure is improved. The multi-point fixing setting reduces the risk of tilting or misalignment of the lock housing 11 due to assembly errors.

[0056] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the limiting post has a hollow structure, and the lock cylinder structure further includes a free-spinning cylinder 151 disposed in the limiting post and a rotating rod 152 connected to the free-spinning cylinder 151.

[0057] Optionally, the door handle can be connected to the idler cylinder 151 so that the handle can drive the rotating rod 152 to rotate.
