[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
[0031] Referring to Figure 1 The utility model provides a door lock mechanism for underwater treadmill 100, wherein underwater treadmill 100 includes a box, and the box is provided with door pillars 4 around, and box doors 3 are opened on the left and right sides of the box, and the box door 3 is provided with locking assemblies 1, and the door pillar 4 is provided with rotating assemblies 2, when the box door 3 is closed, the locking assembly 1 is buckled with the rotating assembly 2, and rotating the rotating assembly 2 can realize the locking of the locking assembly 1 and the rotating assembly 2. In the embodiment, the box door 3 is a glass door. In other embodiments, the box door 3 can also be made of other materials. When using, the box door 3 is locked, and water is injected into the box. The door lock mechanism provided by the utility model has simple structure, reliable locking, and can withstand water pressure of up to one ton.
[0032] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 2 Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the door lock mechanism of the utility model, Figure 3 and Figure 4 Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 respectively show perspective views of the locking assembly 1 and the rotating assembly 2. The locking assembly 1 includes a connecting plate 11 and a locking pin, wherein the locking pin includes a pin portion 13 and support portions 12 connected to both ends of the pin portion, the locking pin is fixed on the connecting plate 11 through one end of the support portion 12, and the connecting plate 11 is fixedly installed on the box door 3 of the underwater treadmill. The rotating assembly 2 includes a handle 21, a handle shaft 23 connected with the handle, a protective cover 22 installed on the handle shaft 23, a first bearing 25, a guide slot plate 24, a stopper 26 and a second bearing 27. The protective cover 22 is installed on the handle shaft close to one end of the handle, the first bearing 25 is arranged on the side of the protective cover 22 away from the handle 21, the first bearing 25 plays a supporting and positioning role, and facilitates the rotation of the entire rotating assembly 2. The guide slot plate 24 is spaced apart from the first bearing 25 by a certain distance. The side of the guide slot plate 24 away from the handle 21 is provided with the stopper 26, which is used to prevent the guide slot plate 24 from moving further. The side of the stopper 26 away from the handle 21 is provided with the second bearing 27, and the second bearing 27 also plays a supporting and positioning role, and facilitates the rotation of the entire rotating assembly 2. With the rotation of the entire rotating assembly 2, the guide slot plate 24 can be buckled and locked with the locking pin of the locking assembly 1, realizing the locking of the door lock mechanism. This process will be described in detail below.
[0033] For the convenience of description, Figure 5 other components are omitted, and only the perspective view of the guide slot plate 24 and the locking assembly 1 is retained. Also for the sake of clarity, Figure 6 andFigure 7 Further, the connecting plate 11 and the supporting part 12 of the locking assembly 1 are omitted, and only the plan view of the pin part 13 and the guide slot plate 24 is shown. Referring to Figures 5 to 7 , the guide slot plate 24 is a special-shaped plate, which includes a base part and a tongue part. The base part is provided with an axle hole 241 for mounting the guide slot plate 24 to the handle shaft. When the cabinet door 3 is locked, the tongue part extends into the space formed between the pin part 13 and the supporting part 12. The guide slot 243 is formed between the tongue part and the base part. The guide slot 243 is a curved slot, which is formed by several smooth- connected circular arcs. At least two of the circular arcs l 1 and l 2 (indicated by the thick black line in Figure 6 and Figure 7 ) are concentric with the axle hole 241. When the rotating assembly 2 is rotated, the guide slot plate 24 is rotated, and the pin part 13 relatively slides in the guide slot 243. When the guide slot plate 24 is rotated to the circular arc l 1 contacts the pin part 13 (as shown in Figure 7 ), the force of the circular arc l 1 on the pin part 13 is perpendicular to the tangent of the contact point and points to the center of the circular arc, i.e. the force direction points to the center w2 of the axle hole 241 along the contact point of the two. Thus, when the water pressure in the cabinet exerts on the cabinet door 3, the locking assembly 1 is subjected to a horizontal leftward pushing force. At this time, the force of the circular arc l 1 on the pin part 13 points to the center w2 of the axle hole 241, which avoids any directional component to rotate the guide slot plate 24, thereby firmly locking the locking assembly 1 and the guide slot plate 24. Similarly, when the user continues to rotate the handle 21 to rotate the guide slot plate 24 to the circular arc l 2 contacts the pin part 13, the same effect can be achieved. The concentric circular arc design enables the locking assembly 1 and the rotating assembly 2 to be locked to each other, and the locking is reliable. In addition, the center w1 of the pin part 13 is slightly higher than the center w2 of the axle hole 241, and the line connecting the center w1 of the pin part 13 and the center w2 of the axle hole 241 forms an angle α with the horizontal direction. Such eccentric structure makes the locking more firm. In the preferred embodiment, the angle α is 3°.
[0034] In the embodiment, the first key groove 242 is further arranged on the axle hole 241, and the second key groove (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the corresponding position of the handle shaft 23. The flat key is clamped between the first key groove 242 and the second key groove. Through the flat key clamped between the first key groove 242 and the second key groove, the rotation of the handle shaft 23 can drive the rotation of the guide slot plate 24. In other embodiments, the flat key can also be other forms of keys. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the handle shaft 23 can also be a light shaft, and the guide slot plate 24 also does not have a key groove, and only the interference fit between the handle shaft 23 and the guide slot plate 24 is used to realize the synchronous rotation. Alternatively, the handle shaft 23 and the guide slot plate 24 can also be integrally formed.
[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Any modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment without departing from the technical solution of the present application, and according to the technical essence of the present application, still belong to the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
