Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicles, specifically to a tractor cab door lock control structure. Background Technology
[0002] As an important type of agricultural machinery, the design of the tractor's cab directly affects the driver's ease of operation and safety. The cab door lock, as a crucial component of the cab, not only needs to ensure the door is securely locked during driving to prevent accidental opening, but also needs to be easily and quickly opened when needed by the driver. Existing cab door locks use a collision-type lock, such as the one disclosed in patent number 202020861566.4, which has a latch installed on the vehicle body. After the door is closed, the lock automatically locks onto the latch. The lock also has a pull plate; pulling the pull plate unlocks the door.
[0003] To facilitate unlocking via the door handle located on the outside of the door, the door lock on the cab door of a tractor with transmission is usually installed on the left or right front, away from the driver's seat. When the driver wants to unlock the door from inside the cab, he needs to get up and leave the driver's seat and manually turn the door lock. This is not only inconvenient to open the door, but also not quick enough in an emergency, affecting the driver's reaction time. This needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tractor cab door lock control structure that is convenient and quick to open, addressing the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a tractor cab door lock control structure, including a door hinged to the vehicle body, a latch installed on the vehicle body, a door lock installed on the door capable of being locked onto the latch, and a pull plate for opening the door lock. Its structural features are: a switch base is installed on the door, located on the left or right side of the driver's seat; a button is provided on the switch base; the rear end of the button is hinged to the switch base; and a pull rod is hinged to the front end of the button. The other end of the pull rod is connected to a horizontal pull cable, and the other end of the horizontal pull cable is connected to the pull plate. The button, hinged to the switch base, has a simple structure and occupies little space, making it suitable for environments with limited interior space in the cab. The button is linked to the door lock via the horizontal pull cable, realizing remote control of the door lock and reducing the complexity of directly operating the door lock. The switch base is located on the side of the driver's seat, allowing the driver to operate the button to open the door without significant body movement, improving operational convenience.
[0006] A horizontal sleeve is installed on the door, and the switch holder is installed on the horizontal sleeve, which facilitates the installation of the switch holder and its subsequent disassembly and maintenance.
[0007] The horizontal guy cable is installed in the horizontal sleeve. The horizontal and vertical guy cables are the brake cables. The brake cable is inside the cable and outside the cable housing. The end of the cable housing has a spring that allows the cable to extend and retract. The horizontal sleeve hides the cable, making the interior of the cab neater and more aesthetically pleasing, and also protects the horizontal guy cable from damage caused by external friction or vibration, thus extending the cable's service life.
[0008] The switch base is equipped with a spring to reset the button. The spring automatically resets the button after operation, reducing manual intervention and improving ease of use. It also ensures the button remains in a fixed position when not in use, preventing accidental activation due to vibration or accidental touch.
[0009] The door lock is a collision-type door lock, which has two claws for locking the latch. The positions of the two claws correspond to the latch. Collision-type door locks are existing technology. When the pull plate is pulled, the two claws disengage from the latch. When the door is closed, the two claws strike the latch and then close to lock the latch.
[0010] The vehicle body is equipped with a latch seat, and the latch is installed on the latch seat. The rigid structure of the latch seat can withstand the impact force when the door is closed, thus extending the service life of the latch.
[0011] The car door is equipped with a handle base, on which a flap is hinged. A vertical pull cable is connected to the flap, the other end of which is connected to a pull plate. A door handle is mounted on the handle base, and the door handle has a push switch. The push switch has a push rod for rotating the flap, and the push rod is connected to the flap. Pressing the push switch from outside the car pushes the push rod to flip the flap, which in turn pulls the pull plate, thus opening the car door. The pull plate requires only a small amount of movement to unlock the door because although the horizontal and vertical pull cables are pulled in different directions, both can unlock the door.
[0012] Regarding the connection structure between the push rod and the flap, the lower end of the push rod is provided with a connecting rod, which is hinged to the flap.
[0013] A vertical sleeve is installed on the door, located between the door lock and the handle base, with the vertical pull cable installed inside the handle base. The vertical sleeve conceals the pull cable, making the interior of the driver's cab cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing, and also provides protection for the pull cable, preventing damage from external friction or vibration.
[0014] The handle base is located inside the cab, while the door handle is located outside the cab. The door has holes for mounting the handle base.
[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the switch seat is located on the side of the driver's seat. When the driver presses the button on the driver's seat, the horizontal cable can pull the lever to open the door lock. The driver can operate the button to open the door without moving his body significantly, which improves the convenience of operation. The mechanical linkage device enables the door to open and close quickly, while ensuring the stability and durability of the door lock, meeting the needs of tractors in complex working conditions.
