Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0030] See Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0031] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a novel lock body structure includes a cover plate assembly and a square latch assembly, a bevel latch assembly, a lock cylinder, and a handle located within the cover plate assembly. The cover plate assembly includes a lower cover plate 1, an upper cover plate, and a front panel 2, wherein the front panel 2 and the lower cover plate 1 are fixed together by bolts, and the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate 1 are fixed together by screws.
[0032] The cover plate assembly is provided with corresponding lock cylinder hole 101 and handle hole 102. The lock cylinder hole 101 and handle hole 102 are located at both ends of the cover plate assembly. The square tongue assembly and the oblique tongue assembly are located between the lock cylinder hole 101 and handle hole 102. This arrangement makes the distance between the lock cylinder hole 101 and handle hole 102 relatively large, which increases the hole spacing while keeping the overall size of the lock small, making operation more convenient and reducing costs.
[0033] Because the distance between the lock cylinder hole 101 and the handle hole 102 has been adjusted, the internal linkage structure has been changed accordingly.
[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the tongue assembly includes a tongue 61 and a guide plate 62. A matching tongue paddle 12 is provided below the guide plate 62. A fork 9 and a fork piece 8 are provided at the handle hole 102. The fork piece 8 is connected to the tongue paddle 12 via a toothed engagement. The handle is connected to the fork 9 via a square bar. The handle is linked to the tongue assembly via the fork 9, fork piece 8, and tongue paddle 12. The guide plate 62 has a cross-shaped structure. The upper and lower cover plates 1 have slots corresponding to the guide plate 62. The guide plate 62 is slidably connected to the upper and lower cover plates 1 via these slots. A tongue spring 13 is provided at the tail of the guide plate 62. One end of the tongue paddle 12 is rotatably connected to the lower cover plate 1 via a tongue paddle pin 7. A slot for the tongue paddle 12 to pass through is provided below the guide plate 62. The shift fork 9 is rotatably connected to the handle hole 102. The shift fork plate 8 is sleeved on the shift fork 9 and engaged with the shift fork 9. Shift fork washers 10 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the shift fork 9. A shift fork spring 11 is provided on the outer circumference of the shift fork 9. The shift fork spring 11 is connected to the shift fork plate 8, and the shift fork plate 8 is reset by the shift fork spring 11.
[0035] Through the above technical solution, the latch assembly pushes the latch tongue 61 out of the front panel 2 under the elastic force of the latch tongue spring 13. The latch tongue lever 12 is fixed on the lower cover plate 1 by the latch tongue lever lever pin 7. The latch tongue lever 12 can rotate around the latch tongue lever pin 7. The left side of the latch tongue lever 12 passes through the slot below the guide plate 62. When the latch tongue lever 12 rotates counterclockwise, it can abut against the guide plate 62 and move towards the latch tongue spring 13, so that the latch tongue assembly can be pulled back into the lock body 32.
[0036] The shift fork 9 is rotatably connected to the handle hole 102, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the step of the shift fork 9 is engaged with the hole in the upper cover plate. The shift fork plate 8 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the shift fork 9. Several teeth are provided on the outer side of the shift fork plate 8. These teeth mesh with the teeth on the oblique tongue plate 12 to achieve mutual linkage. A small triangular protrusion is provided on the inner hole of the shift fork plate 8. A matching step is provided on the outer circumference of the shift fork 9 so that the shift fork plate 8 and the shift fork 9 are engaged. When the handle bar is inserted into the shift fork 9, the handle is rotated to drive the shift fork 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the shift fork plate 8 to rotate, which in turn causes the engaged oblique tongue plate 12 to rotate, thereby realizing the extension and retraction control of the oblique tongue assembly.
[0037] A fork washer 10 is installed at both the upper and lower ends of the fork 9, and a fork spring 11 is installed on the outer circumference of the fork 9. The two force-bearing feet of the fork spring 11 are locked on the lower cover plate 1. At the same time, one end of the fork piece 8 is locked between the two force-bearing feet of the fork spring 11, and the fork 9 is reset through the fork spring 11.
[0038] Furthermore, the square latch assembly includes a square latch 31 and a lock body 32. The lock body 32 has swing blocks 15 on both its upper and lower sides. The swing blocks 15 cooperate with the locking cylinder's shift head, and the lock cylinder is linked to the square latch assembly via the swing blocks 15. The rear of the lock body 32 has a strip-shaped hole 34, and the lower cover plate 1 has mounting pins 35 corresponding to the position of the strip-shaped hole 34. The lock body 32 is slidably connected to the lower cover plate 1 via the strip-shaped hole 34 and the mounting pins 35. The middle part of the swing block 15 is rotatably connected to the mounting pins 35. The middle part of the lock body 32 has an L-shaped groove 33, and one end of the swing block 15 has a swing block nail 16, which is inserted into and slidably connected to the L-shaped groove 33.
[0039] Through the above technical solution, the lock body 32 of the square tongue assembly is provided with a strip-shaped hole 34 at its tail, which is fitted onto the corresponding mounting pin 35 on the lower cover plate 1. A swing block 15 is installed on each of the upper and lower sides of the lock body 32. The middle part of the swing block 15 is rotatably connected to the mounting pin 35. A round hole is provided at the front left side of the swing block 15, and a swing block pin 16 is fitted into the round hole at the front of the swing block 15. The swing block pin 16 passes through the L-shaped groove 33 provided in the middle of the lock body 32. When the lock cylinder's dial rotates, the dial engages with the latch on the swing block 15, causing the dial to drive the swing block 15 to rotate around the mounting pin 35. This, in turn, causes the swing block pin 16 to drive the lock body 32 to slide along the L-shaped groove 33, allowing the lock body 32 and the square tongue 31 to retract or extend.
[0040] A limiting spring 14 is provided on the side of the pendulum block 15 away from the pendulum block nail 16. One end of the limiting spring 14 is connected to the lower cover plate 1, and the other end of the limiting spring 14 is connected to the pendulum block 15. The rotation of the pendulum block 15 is limited by the limiting spring 14.
[0041] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the slanted tongue commutator 5 are rotatably connected to the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate 1, respectively. One end of the commutator spring 4 is connected to the slanted tongue commutator 5, and the other end of the commutator spring 4 is connected to the swing block 15. One end of the slanted tongue commutator 5 abuts against the slanted tongue lever 12.
[0042] Through the above technical solution, the fixing feet at both ends of the latch reversing plate 5 are installed in the corresponding holes of the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate 1, and the latch reversing plate 5 is rotatably connected to the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate 1. A reversing plate spring 4 is installed on the left side of the latch reversing plate 5, and the latch reversing plate 5 stays in the working position under the elastic force of the reversing plate spring 4. At the same time, when the swing block 15 rotates with the lock cylinder's lever, the swing block 15 will pull the reversing plate spring 4, thereby driving the latch reversing plate 5 to rotate and abut against the latch deflector 12, thereby causing the latch deflector 12 to rotate and drive the latch assembly to retract.
[0043] The lock cylinder is connected to the square bolt assembly via the pivot block 15, and the handle is connected to the latch bolt assembly via the shift fork 9, shift fork plate 8, and latch bolt plate 12; simultaneously, the square bolt assembly is connected to the latch bolt assembly via the reversing spring 4 and the latch bolt reversing plate 5. The entire lock has a simple structure, ingenious connections, and is easy to install and operate, while also reducing the size of the lock and lowering costs.
