Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stable door lock technology, and in particular to a gravity lock mechanism for a stable sliding door. Background Technology

[0002] The existing patent (publication number: CN220353624U) discloses "This utility model provides a two-finger lock for stables, including a mounting plate, an upper plate, and a lower plate, which are fixedly connected by screws. This utility model, by setting a lock cylinder mechanism, allows users carrying a large number of items to insert two fingers into the two-finger groove and then pull the handle. The handle causes the support rod and pin to move out of the corresponding groove on the door frame, thus opening the stable door. Simultaneously, the user must press both fingers on the push block, cooperating with the anti-collision mechanism, to retract the limiting rod into the mating groove, without affecting the normal movement of the handle. The handle can then cooperate normally with the lock cylinder mechanism to open the stable door. Even if a horse learns to push the handle with its tongue, it cannot simultaneously press its tongue against both push blocks, preventing the limiting rod in the anti-collision mechanism from retracting into the mating groove, thus restricting the handle's movement and preventing the door from opening. This prevents the horse from learning to open the door."

[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: the existing patents mainly rely on unreliable components such as springs to realize the opening and locking function of the stable door. Long-term use requires regular maintenance, the overall service life of the device is short, and its practicality is poor.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-2 4. One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0036] A gravity lock mechanism for a stable sliding door includes a door body mechanism 1. Two hinges 5 are fixedly installed at the rear end of one side surface of the door body mechanism 1. A door frame mechanism 2 is fixedly installed at the other end of the two hinges 5. A protective mechanism 4 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper front of the door frame mechanism 2. A locking mechanism 3 is rotatably installed on one side of the upper front of the door frame mechanism 2.

[0037] The door frame mechanism 2 includes a door frame 201. A movable groove 205 is provided on the inner surface of the door frame 201. A top rod 203 is slidably provided on the inner surface of the movable groove 205. An operating block 204 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the top rod 203 at the middle position. A hand hole 202 is provided at the middle position of one side of the front of the door frame 201. The operating block 204 is slidably provided inside the hand hole 202.

[0038] By opening a movable slot 205 inside the door frame 201, the user can raise and lower the top rod 203 by controlling the operating block 204. Combined with the hand hole 202 on its front, the user can put their hand in to operate it, preventing the horses in the stable from accidentally opening during use. At the same time, the embedded operating block 204 can prevent the rider and horse from colliding and causing danger, thus improving the overall safety of the device during use.

[0039] The protective mechanism 4 includes a protective frame 401. Both ends of the bottom surface of the protective frame 401 are threaded with fixing bolts 402, and a maintenance groove 403 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the protective frame 401.

[0040] By setting fixing bolts 402 on both sides of the bottom of the protective frame 401, and combining them with the maintenance slot 403 opened at the bottom of the protective frame 401, the user can check the working status and condition of the device through the maintenance slot 403 at the bottom when using it. If necessary, the device can be repaired by removing the fixing bolts 402.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 and 5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0042] The door mechanism 1 includes a door body 105. A glass window 104 is fixedly installed at the middle of the upper part of the front of the door body 105. Multiple guardrails 103 are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the middle of the upper part of the front and back of the door body 105. A snap-fit ​​component 101 is fixedly installed at one end of the upper surface of the door body 105. An embedded handle 102 is embedded and fixedly installed at the middle of the outer surface of one side of the door body 105.

[0043] By providing a glass viewing window 104 and a protective railing 103 on the door 105, the safety of the entire device during use is ensured while allowing the user to observe the situation inside the stable. The snap-fit ​​connector 101 allows the user to lock the door 105 by engaging the lock plate 305. The embedded handle 102 ensures that the user can open and close the door 105 daily while preventing the user from colliding with the horses and causing danger.

[0044] The locking mechanism 3 includes a connecting rod 301. A movable plate 302 is fixedly connected to the rear end of one side of the outer surface of the connecting rod 301. A connecting rod 304 is fixedly installed at the front end of the bottom of the connecting rod 301. A locking piece 305 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod 304. A rotating shaft 303 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper end of the front of the connecting rod 304. The rear end of the rotating shaft 303 is rotatably installed inside the door frame mechanism 2.

[0045] One end of the connecting rod 301 is connected to the movable plate 302, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 304. This allows for adjustment of the position of the locking plate 305 when the device is in use. Combined with the lifting and lowering of the top rod 203, the device can open, close, and lock the door when in use. A rotating shaft 303 is provided, which is rotatably connected through the door frame mechanism 2. This enables the connecting rod 301 of the device to rotate around the shaft, providing a basis for the gravity locking of the device.

[0046] Working principle: When in daily use, this device can be installed in the stable. In a stationary state, the top rod 203 descends under the action of gravity, and its bottom end contacts the bottom end of the door frame 201. The part of the movable plate 302 above the top rod 203 is also in a lower position under the action of gravity, which pulls up the connecting rod 301 connected to its other end, causing the locking plate 305 connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 304 to rise. The other end of the locking plate 305 is pressed down, so that it is locked inside the locking member 101, thereby locking the door 105. When the user needs to unlock, he can put his hand into the hand hole 202 and lift the top rod 203 through the operating block 204. The top of the top rod 203 lifts the movable plate 302, and then the connecting rod 301 drives the part of the locking plate 305 above the locking member 101 to lift up, thereby unlocking the device. This allows the user to open the door mechanism 1 through the embedded handle 102.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
