[0026] This structure also includes at least one auxiliary bushing via the first bushing 1. The auxiliary bushing increases the overall length to accommodate door bodies of different thicknesses. Furthermore, the first mounting port 101 of the first bushing 1 allows the key 8 to be inserted. The key 8 can rotate the third extension shaft 7, which in turn twists the actuating element 10 to push the latch. In addition, this structure enables the fourth threaded bushing 4, the auxiliary bushing, and the first bushing 1 to be quickly installed together via the first screw 9. The fourth threaded bushing 4, the auxiliary bushing, and the first bushing 1 are arranged in the same axial direction.

[0027] The fourth threaded bushing 4 can be screwed into the pre-drilled holes in the door body to fix the entire lock cylinder. The first bushing 1 is installed on the outer surface of the door body. The first mounting port 101 of the first bushing 1 is provided for the installation of the combination key 8. The first mounting port 101 and the third mounting port 402 are arranged in the same axis. The size of the first mounting port 101 is adapted to the size of the front end of the combination key 8, providing sufficient space to rotate the combination key 8.

[0028] The auxiliary bushing described in this structure is divided into a second bushing 2 and / or a third bushing 3. Depending on the implementation combination, they are as follows:

[0029] First embodiment: A first bushing 1 and a fourth threaded bushing 4 are combined, and a combination key 8 is installed on the first bushing 1.

[0032] Fourth embodiment: A second bushing 2 and a third bushing 3 are added between the first bushing 1 and the fourth threaded bushing 4. The second bushing 2 and the third bushing 3 are connected. A combination key 8 is installed on the first bushing 1.

[0033] In the first embodiment: a first bushing 1 and a fourth threaded bushing 4, a first screw 9 passes through the fourth threaded bushing 4 and the extension of the first screw 9 is screwed onto the first bushing 1.

[0034] In the second embodiment, the first bushing 1, the fourth threaded bushing 4, and the second bushing 2 are connected by the first screw 9.

[0035] In the third embodiment, the first bushing 1, the fourth threaded bushing 4, and the third bushing 3 are connected by a first screw 9.

[0036] In the fourth embodiment, the first bushing 1, the fourth threaded bushing 4, the second bushing 2, and the third bushing 3 are connected by a first screw 9.

[0037] In the second and fourth embodiments: the second bushing 2 is provided with a second mounting port 201 and a first screw hole 202, and the first screw 9 passes through the first screw hole 202 to fix the position of the second bushing 2.

[0038] In this structure, the second mounting port 201 is provided with a first recess 203, and the front end of the second bushing 2 is provided with a first protrusion 204. The first protrusion 204 is placed in the second recess 303 to fix the position of the third bushing 3 and the second bushing 2.

[0039] In this structure, the rear end surface of the third bushing 3 is provided with a fourth mounting port 301 and a second screw hole 302, and the front end surface of the third bushing 3 is provided with a second protrusion 304. The first screw 9 passes through the second screw hole 302, and the side of the fourth mounting port 301 is provided with a second recess 303. The first protrusion 204 is placed in the second recess 303 to fix the third bushing 3 and the second bushing 2 together.

[0040] Alternatively, in the fourth embodiment: the inner wall of the third mounting port 402 of this structure is provided with a third recess 404. The second protrusion 304 is placed at the third recess 404, so that the third bushing 3 and the fourth threaded bushing 4 are mutually restricted, so that the third bushing 3 cannot rotate when in use.

[0041] Alternatively, in the second embodiment: the first protrusion 204 of the second bushing 2 is placed at the third recess 404 of the fourth threaded bushing 4 to fix the second bushing 2 and the fourth threaded bushing 4 together.

[0042] In the above implementation, the fourth mounting port 301 of this structure is further provided with a second extension shaft 6, the front end of the second extension shaft 6 is provided with a second transmission protrusion 601, and the rear end of the second extension shaft 6 is provided with a second torsion groove 602.

[0044] The second transmission protrusion 601 is inserted into the first torsion groove 501. When the second transmission protrusion 601 is driven, it also drives the first torsion groove 501 to rotate. The second extension shaft 6 and the first extension shaft 5 are used to extend the length. If the front end of the combination key 8 is not long enough, the second extension shaft 6 and the first extension shaft 5 can be added to make up for the length, and finally the third extension shaft 7 can be rotated.

[0045] The first extension shaft 5 is used to implement the transmission function; the first transmission protrusion 502 is placed in the third torsion groove 701, so that when the first transmission protrusion 502 rotates, it drives the third extension shaft 7 to rotate as well.

[0046] For this embodiment, the combination relationship between the third extension shaft 7, the second extension shaft 6, and the first extension shaft 5 is adjusted as follows:

[0047] First embodiment: The third extension shaft 7 is connected to the combination key 8, so that the combination key 8 drives the third extension shaft 7 to rotate.

[0048] Second embodiment: A third bushing 3 is added, and a third extension shaft 7 is connected to the combination key 8, so that the combination key 8 drives the third extension shaft 7 to rotate. Alternatively, the third extension shaft 7, the first extension shaft 5, and the combination key 8 are connected, so that the combination key 8 drives the third extension shaft 7 and the first extension shaft 5 to rotate.

[0049] Third embodiment: A second bushing 2 is added, and a third extension shaft 7 is connected to the combination key 8, so that the combination key 8 drives the third extension shaft 7 to rotate.

[0050] Fourth embodiment: A second bushing 2 and a third bushing 3 are added, and a third extension shaft 7 is connected to a combination key 8, so that the combination key 8 drives the third extension shaft 7 to rotate. Alternatively, the third extension shaft 7, the first extension shaft 5, and the combination key 8 are connected, so that the combination key 8 drives the third extension shaft 7 and the first extension shaft 5 to rotate. Alternatively, the third extension shaft 7, the first extension shaft 5, the second extension shaft 6, and the combination key 8 are connected, so that the combination key 8 drives the third extension shaft 7, the second extension shaft 6, and the first extension shaft 5 to rotate.

[0051] Other structural improvements are as follows:

[0052] The outer surface of the fourth threaded bushing 4 in this structure is provided with a guide groove 401. The guide groove 401 can be adapted to the door body protrusion in the mounting opening inside the door body, and the door body protrusion is placed in the guide groove 401. This solution does not have an internal screw structure inside the door body, and uses another method to fix the position of the fourth threaded bushing 4.

[0053] The third transmission protrusion 702 in this structure is connected to the actuating member 10 via the second screw 11, which loosens the second screw 11 and separates the third transmission protrusion 702 from the actuating member 10.

[0054] The first bushing 1, the second bushing 2, the third bushing 3, and the fourth threaded bushing 4 are cylindrical in shape for easy installation. This American standard lock cylinder structure conforms to the technical standards stipulated in American lock cylinder regulations.
