[0037] (Example)

[0038] See Figure 1 A latch lock includes a latch assembly 1 and a locking shaft assembly 2. The latch assembly 1 includes a latch bracket 11, a latch 12, and an elastic element 13. The latch 12 is rotatably connected to the latch bracket 11, and the latch 12 and the elastic element 13 are connected. The locking shaft assembly 2 includes a locking shaft bracket 21 and a locking shaft 22 rotatably connected to the locking shaft bracket 21. The front end of the latch 12 is provided with a slope, and the rear end of the slope is provided with a locking groove that mates with the locking shaft 22. The rear end of the latch 12 is provided with a handle. The locking shaft 22 moves along the slope and rolls into the locking groove of the latch 12. The elastic element 13 causes the latch 12 to be locked under force.

[0039] Preferably, see Figure 2 The latch bracket 11 includes an integrally formed left and right side plates 11-1, a bottom plate 11-2 and a rear plate 11-3, and the latch 12 is rotatably connected to the left and right side plates 11-1.

[0040] Preferably, the latch assembly 1 further includes a pin 14 and a corresponding cotter pin 15, with the pin 14 passing through the left and right side plates 11-1 and the latch 12 respectively. The elastic element 13 is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the pin 14, with one end of the torsion spring connected to the latch bracket 11 and the other end connected to the latch 12.

[0041] Preferably, see Figure 3The base plate 11-2 is provided with an upper limit stop 11-4 to limit the upper limit of the upward rotation of the latch 12 handle; the rear plate 11-3 is provided with a lower limit stop 11-5 to limit the lower limit of the downward rotation of the latch 12 handle.

[0042] Preferably, see Figure 2 The upper limit stop edge of the base plate 11-2 is provided with a hook limiting groove 11-6 that matches the torsion spring.

[0043] Preferably, see Figure 4 The lock shaft bracket 21 is provided with a lock shaft mounting hole 21-1 and a fixed mounting hole 21-2; both the lock shaft mounting hole 21-1 and the fixed mounting hole 21-2 are oblong groove holes.

[0044] The locking shaft 22 is rotatably mounted on the locking shaft mounting hole 21-1 via the connector 23, which is a standard hexagonal nut. The fastening connector 24 is a standard internal hexagonal nut and flat washer, which fixes the locking shaft bracket 21 to the corresponding mounting plate.

[0045] See Figure 5 The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] (1) The latch assembly 1 is fixed on the door panel and generates rotational torque of the latch through the action of the torsion spring; when the torsion spring is in a stationary state, the latch 12 is locked by the torque of the torsion spring.

[0047] (2) When the door panel is closed, the slope of the front end of the latch 12 contacts the cylindrical surface of the lock shaft 22. As the door panel is pushed in, the slope of the latch 12 rolls along the cylindrical surface of the lock shaft 22. When it reaches the lock groove position, the lock groove on the latch 12 automatically falls into the lock shaft 22 under the action of the torsion spring, locking the door panel.

[0048] (4) When opening the door panel, manually lift the handle of the latch 12. The lock groove on the latch 12 will disengage from the lock shaft 22 to open the door panel.

[0049] (5) After releasing the latch 12 handle, the latch 12 returns to the locked position under the torque of the torsion spring.

[0050] The latch lock structure in this embodiment is ingenious and can be easily applied to latch lock structures of various door panels; it automatically locks when the door panel is pushed in, and the lock shaft and lock groove are at a certain angle, so it is smooth when locking and not easy to fall off when locking; the user only needs to turn the handle to unlock, which is convenient to use; the device realizes a hidden latch lock without compromising the overall appearance design of the product.

[0051] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
