Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] As shown in the attached figure, this utility model discloses a universal child handle lock, comprising a handle 1, a base 2, a rotating seat 3, and a positioning element 4. The handle 1 is disposed on the front of the base 2. The rotating seat 3 and the positioning element 4 are both disposed within the base 2. The rotating seat 3 is an integrally formed structure, comprising an insert section 31, a rotating shaft section 32, and a gear section 33 for transmission connection of the shift fork. The rotating shaft section 32 is located between the insert section 31 and the gear section 33. The insert section 31 protrudes from the base 2 and is inserted into the handle 1, connecting to the handle 1. The end face of the gear section 33 is provided with a shaft hole 330 for mounting a square shaft. Specifically, the shaft hole 330 is located on the rotation axis of the rotating seat 3. The rotating shaft section 32 is cylindrical. One end of the positioning element 4 elastically abuts against the outer curve of the rotating shaft section 32 by a spring 44. On the outer curved surface of the pivot section 32, at least two positioning grooves 320 are distributed in a ring to cooperate with the positioning member 4. The handle 1 drives the rotating seat 3 to rotate together. When it rotates to the point where one of the positioning grooves 320 corresponds to the positioning member 4, the positioning member 4 will automatically push into the positioning groove 320 under the elastic force of the spring 44 because the positioning member 4 has room to move forward. The base 2 is slidably provided with a locking member 5 for abutting the other end of the positioning member 4. At this time, the locking member 5 is slidably moved to abut the other end of the positioning member 4, so that the rear end of the positioning member 4 has no room to move backward and cannot slide out of the positioning groove 320, thereby achieving the locking effect. When unlocking, the locking member 5 can be slid open and moved away from the positioning member 4. This child lock structure acts on the pivot section 32 and does not affect the fork or square shaft structure, so that this child lock structure can be used with the fork structure or the square shaft structure.

[0024] This utility model discloses a universal child handle lock. Through the setting of the rotating base 3, the gear segment 33 on the rotating base 3 can be adapted to the shift fork, and the shaft hole 330 on the end face of the gear segment 33 can be adapted to the square shaft. This allows the handle lock structure to be used with either the shift fork or the square shaft. Simultaneously, the handle lock includes a child lock structure. The locking member 5, in conjunction with the positioning groove 320, abuts against both ends of the positioning member 4, preventing the positioning member 4 from sliding and thus achieving a locking effect. This child lock structure is also applicable to the shift fork or the square shaft, improving the versatility of the handle lock, reducing inventory pressure, and increasing the flexibility of use.

[0025] In this embodiment, the base 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 400, and the positioning member 4 is disposed in the receiving cavity 400 and slides radially within the receiving cavity 400 along the rotating shaft section 32. One end of the receiving cavity 400 is provided with a first opening 401 facing the rotating shaft section 32, and the other end is provided with a second opening 402 for the positioning member 4 to extend and retract. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 , 4 9. The base 2 has a groove and a connecting plate 222. The connecting plate 222 covers the groove to form a receiving cavity 400. The connecting plate 222 is snapped onto the base 2 for easy installation. First, the positioning member 4 and the spring 44 are placed in the groove, and then the connecting plate 222 is installed to cover them. The length of the receiving cavity 400 is shorter than that of the positioning member 4. When the positioning member 4 slides toward the rotating seat 3, it extends out of the first opening 401. When the positioning member 4 slides backward, it extends out of the second opening 402. The locking member 5 is located at the second opening 402 in the locked state, and then abuts against the second opening 402 to prevent the positioning member 4 from sliding backward.

[0026] The positioning element 4 is as follows Figure 5 The device includes a pin 41 and a top cap 42 that fits into the positioning groove 320. The spring 44 is sleeved on the outside of the pin 41, with one end of the spring 44 abutting against the top cap 42 and the other end abutting against the inner wall of the second opening 402. The positioning member 4 is held against the rotating shaft section 32 by the action of the spring 44.

[0027] In this embodiment, the base 2 has a slot 105 on its front side, the locking member 5 is disposed in the slot 105, and the locking member 5 has a pushing part 51 protruding from the slot 105 on its front side.

[0028] The back of the locking component 5 is provided with a ball bearing 50, which extends and retracts within the locking component 5 via a compression spring. The base 2 has two limiting recesses 500 that engage with the ball bearing 50, providing a positioning function for the locking component 5. Specifically, the two limiting recesses 500 are located on the side of the connecting plate 222 facing the slot 105, corresponding to the unlocked and locked states of the locking component 5. The locking component 5 slides towards one end of the slot 105. When the ball bearing 50 engages with the corresponding limiting recess 500 in the unlocked state, it is in the unlocked state, and the positioning component 4 can slide forward and backward. When the ball bearing 50 engages with the corresponding limiting recess 500 in the locked state, it is in the locked state, and the locking component 5 is positioned at the second opening 402, abutting against the positioning component 4 and preventing it from sliding backward. (See also...) Figure 7 , 9 The base 2 has lock and unlock markings near the slot 105 for easy access.

[0029] In this embodiment, a cover plate 102 is provided on the front of the base 2. The cover plate 102 is rotatably connected to the handle 1. The shape of the cover plate 102 corresponds to the base 2 and is used to cover the structure of the base 2 and the structure of the lock 5. The cover plate 102 is fastened to the base 2 and rotates about the axis of the handle 1. Under normal conditions, the cover plate 102 is fastened to the front of the base 2. When the lock 5 needs to be used, the cover plate 102 can be rotated open first.

[0030] In this embodiment, a shift fork is included. The shift fork is provided with a toothed plate 66 that meshes with the gear segment 33. The shift fork is an existing structure. It should be noted that the shift fork has a toothed plate 66 for meshing and transmission with the gear segment 33. In addition, the square shaft is also an existing structure and can be directly inserted into the shaft hole 330.
