Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of lock catch, especially a lock catch device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Locks used in limited spaces need to meet several key requirements. First, the volume of the lock must be small, while at the same time providing sufficient unlocking travel within a limited rotation range, thus facilitating use in environments where space is limited.

[0003] Even if the size of the lock is reduced, even to a size smaller than a finger, it is still necessary to ensure that the user can easily operate the control lever of the lock.

[0004] In addition, the control lever of the lock also needs to have a reliable mechanism to ensure that it can be securely maintained in the closed state, avoiding accidental ejection of the control lever.

[0005] In addition, during operation, the user may encounter a situation where the control lever is not fully closed, especially when closing, the control lever does not reach the fully seated position. However, due to the lack of clear feedback, the user often does not realize this problem, which can lead to the lock being accidentally opened without being fully closed. DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

One end of the control lever is rotatably connected with the shell. One end of the hinged piece is hingedly connected with the lock tongue. The other end of the hinged piece is rotatably connected with the control lever. The locking mechanism is clamped and fixed with the control lever embedded in the shell. The control lever and the shell are rotatably connected through a shaft body. A first torsional spring is sleeved on the shaft body. One end of the first torsional spring abuts against the back surface of the control lever. The other end of the first torsional spring abuts against the lock tongue. Under the action of the first torsional spring, the control lever, the hinged piece and the lock tongue form an obtuse angle triangle indicator.

[0012] In addition, the hinge seat is located in the middle region of the lock tongue, so that in the locked state, the control handle is completely embedded in the shell.

[0013] It should be noted that in the locked state, the control handle is embedded in the shell, and the first torsional spring is also compressed, and in the unlocked state, the first torsional spring automatically opens the control handle, forcing the lock tongue to reset, so that the control handle can be rotated out of the shell, which is beneficial to the use of the control handle.

[0014] The above-mentioned locking mechanism comprises a button, a second torsional spring and a clamping piece extending outwardly formed on the head of the control handle, one end of the second torsional spring is connected with the hinge seat, and the other end is located below the button, the button is rotatably connected with the shell, under the action of the second torsional spring, the button is always pushed, and a parallel relationship is maintained between the button and the shell, a clamping hole for clamping the clamping piece is arranged on the surface opposite to the control handle, the clamping piece has a length for contacting the button, and when the clamping piece touches the upper surface of the clamping hole, a force is applied to the button, in the embodiment, the direction of the force is to the right, therefore, the button rotates clockwise under the external force, and the clamping hole can correspond to the clamping piece smoothly, and clamping between the two is realized.

[0015] In summary, the locking mode has a simple structure, and can directly act on other components, such as the button and the control handle, thereby greatly optimizing the design of the utility model and reducing the number of parts used.

[0016] Specifically, the control handle also has a rotary switch, the rotary switch has a lock piece located in the shell, the lock piece is elliptical, the hinge piece is provided with a lock hole matched with the lock piece, and the lock piece is abutted between the lock piece and the lock catch after passing through the lock hole by twisting the rotary switch, so that the control handle and the hinge piece are locked together, and the lock catch device cannot be opened.
