Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lockset, especially relates to a handrail lock. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the design of automobile seats, the rear central armrest is an important component for improving passenger comfort and convenience, and its stability and reliability are crucial. The armrest lock, as a key device for locking the central armrest of the rear seat of the vehicle, directly affects the use experience and safety of the armrest. The traditional armrest locking method mainly relies on the locking of multiple tooth features of the toothed part. Although this design achieves the basic locking function of the armrest to some extent, it has many shortcomings.

[0003] Firstly, the machining precision of the tooth feature is extremely high. In order to ensure the tightness and stability of the locking, the shape, size and arrangement of each tooth need to be strictly controlled, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and cost of machining. High-precision machining equipment and complex process flow limit the production efficiency of traditional armrest locks, and also increase the manufacturing cost of the product.

[0004] Secondly, due to the existence of machining errors, the meshing surface between the teeth is often difficult to achieve the ideal state of complete adhesion. This small gap may cause unnecessary rotation of the armrest during locking, affecting the stability of the locking, and may also produce abnormal noise, reducing the passenger's riding experience.

[0005] In addition, the size of the traditional tooth feature is relatively small, which makes it difficult to withstand a large torque load. During vehicle driving, especially when encountering bumpy sections, the armrest may be subjected to a large impact force or torque, and the traditional tooth locking method is often difficult to effectively resist such external forces, resulting in locking failure or damage. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0006] To solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an armrest lock which has low machining precision requirement, lower production cost and can bear larger load.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the utility model is as follows:

[0013] When being opened, the unlocking hook is driven to rotate by external force, the unlocking tongue cooperates with the unlocking slot to drive the pawl to rotate away from the ratchet wheel, and the limiting hook is away from the first limiting tongue to release the limiting of the rotation of the ratchet wheel towards the opening direction;

[0014] When the handrail is opened by external force, the lock shaft is driven to rotate, the rotation of the lock shaft drives the rotation of the ratchet wheel, and when the first limiting tongue rotates to cooperate with the limiting member, the ratchet wheel and the handrail are limited.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the unlocking hook is provided with an elastic member, and the elastic member gives the pawl elastic force of rotation;

[0016] When being opened, the unlocking hook is driven to rotate by external force overcoming the elastic force, the unlocking tongue cooperates with the first side of the unlocking slot to drive the pawl to rotate away from the ratchet wheel, the limiting hook is away from the first limiting tongue and abuts against the side wall of the ratchet wheel, the side wall of the ratchet wheel limits the limiting hook, and the unlocking tongue abuts against the second side of the unlocking slot by the elastic force;

[0017] When being folded, when the first limiting tongue rotates to be opposite to the limiting hook, the side wall of the ratchet wheel releases the limiting of the limiting hook, and the unlocking tongue drives the pawl and the limiting hook to rotate by the elastic force to make the limiting hook rotate to cooperate with the first limiting tongue.

[0018] According to the utility model one embodiment, the ratchet wheel is provided with a waist-shaped assembly hole, the lock shaft is provided with a waist-shaped assembly part, the cross section shape of the waist-shaped assembly part matches the waist-shaped assembly hole, the ratchet wheel is sleeved on the waist-shaped assembly part through the waist-shaped assembly hole, and the waist-shaped assembly hole is in interference fit with the waist-shaped assembly part.

[0025] The utility model has the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art due to the above technical scheme:

[0026] 1、 the utility model pawl and ratchet wheel adopt limiting hook and first limiting tongue cooperation, compared with the traditional tooth thread cooperation makes the machining precision requirement small, the production cost is lower, the traditional tooth thread cooperation needs high-precision machining to ensure the close meshing between teeth and teeth, and the cooperation mode of limiting hook and first limiting tongue is relatively tolerant, even in the case of certain machining error, stable cooperation effect can be ensured, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0027] Secondly, in the bearing capacity aspect, due to the larger cooperation surface feature of limiting hook and first limiting tongue, the contact area between pawl and ratchet wheel is increased, and then the bearing capacity of the mechanism is improved, and larger load can be carried.

[0028] Moreover, the utility model discloses a ratchet wheel is positioned from two directions to ratchet wheel through pawl and stopper, and effectively eliminates the rotation gap. The traditional toothed cooperation mode is prone to the condition that tooth and tooth cannot be completely attached because of processing error and long -term use wear and tear, causes the rotation gap when folding, and the stability and reliability of mechanism are affected.
