Detailed Implementation
[0050] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0051] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
[0052] This embodiment relates to a door lock assembly, see reference Figures 14-16The system includes: a mounting plate 1100, a first support plate 1200, a locking tongue 1300, and a linkage component 1400. The linkage component 1400 includes: a linkage body 1410, a first bent portion 1420, and a second bent portion 1430. A movable hole 1110 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 1100. The movable hole 1110 ensures sufficient rotation space for the second bent portion 1430. The first support plate 1200 is mounted on the mounting plate 1100 and located on both sides of the movable hole 1110. The locking tongue 1300 is movably mounted on one side of the first support plate 1200, and the locking tongue 1300 reciprocates along one side of the first support plate 1200. The linkage body 1410 is rotatably mounted on the first support plate 1200. A first bent portion 1420 is provided on one end of the linkage body 1410 and bends toward one side of the latch 1300. A second bent portion 1430 is provided on the other end of the linkage body 1410, passes through the movable hole 1110, and extends away from the mounting plate 1100. The end of the second bent portion 1430 bends toward one side of the latch 1300. The second bent portion 1430 cooperates with the latch 1300 to unlock or lock the door panel 500.
[0053] When the user closes the door panel 500, the door panel 500 pushes the second bending part 1430 to rotate inward, so that the first bending part 1420 pushes the latch 1300 in a direction away from the mounting plate 1100, and the door panel 500 is locked between the latch 1300 and the second bending part 1430.
[0054] When the latch 1300 is pushed toward the first bend 1420, the latch 1300 pushes the first bend 1420 to rotate inward, so that the second bend 1430 rotates outward, and then the second bend 1430 pushes the door panel 500 outward to unlock the door panel.
[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, two first support plates 1200 are provided, located on both sides of the movable hole 1110. A first bent portion 1420 is located on the top side of the latch 1300, and a second bent portion 1430 is located near the lower end of the latch 1300. The latch 1300 is movably fitted to one side of the first support plate 1200, and the latch 1300 moves up and down relative to the mounting plate 1100 along one side of the first support plate 1200. In some embodiments, four first support plates 1200 may also be provided.
[0056] The user locks the door panel 500 as follows: (Refer to...) Figures 14-18When the user closes the door panel 500, the free end of the door panel 500 is moved towards the door lock assembly. The free end of the door panel 500 abuts against the second bending part 1430, and the door panel 500 pushes the second bending part 1430 to rotate inward. Since the first bending part 1420 and the second bending part 1430 are located on both sides of the linkage body 1410 and are both bent towards the side of the latch 1300, and the linkage body 1410 is rotatably mounted on the first support plate 1200, when the second bending part 1430 rotates inward, the first bending part 1420 rotates outward, that is, the first bending part 1420 pushes the latch 1300 in a direction away from the mounting plate 1100, that is, the latch 1300 falls down, and the door panel 500 is locked between the latch 1300 and the second bending part 1430. During the locking process of the door panel 500, simply close the door panel 500 so that the free end of the door panel 500 pushes the second bending part 1430 to rotate, which will link the linkage body 1410, the first bending part 1420 and the lock tongue 1300 to achieve self-locking of the door panel 500. The overall self-locking process is simple and quick, saving users time.
[0057] The user opens door panel 500 as follows: (Refer to...) Figures 14-18 When the door panel 500 is locked between the second bend 1430 and the latch 1300, pushing the latch 1300 towards the first bend 1420 (i.e., pushing the latch 1300 upwards) allows the latch 1300 to not restrict the opening of the door panel 500. As the latch 1300 pushes towards the first bend 1420, it rotates the first bend 1420 inwards, causing the second bend 1430 to rotate outwards. This, in turn, pushes the door panel 500 outwards to unlock it. The entire unlocking process is simple and quick; simply pushing the latch 1300 towards the first bend 1420 activates the first bend 1420, the linkage body 1410, and the second bend 1430, thus unlocking the door panel 500.
[0058] This door lock assembly has a simple structure and does not require drilling holes in the door panel to assemble other door lock components, thus eliminating drilling and other processing costs and saving costs.
[0059] Furthermore, referring to Figures 19-20 A movable groove 1120 for the reciprocating movement of the latch 1300 is provided on the mounting plate 1100, near the first support plate 1200. First limiting protrusions 1310 are provided on both sides of the latch 1300, protruding towards the movable groove 1120; the first limiting protrusions 1310 cooperate with the mounting plate 1100 to prevent the latch 1300 from falling out. Simultaneously, the first limiting protrusions 1310 also prevent the latch 1300 from moving excessively away from the first bend 1420.
[0060] Furthermore, referring to Figures 19-20 On one side of the mounting plate 1100 where the first support plate 1200 is located, and on both sides of the movable groove 1120, there are engaging posts 1500 extending away from the mounting plate 1100. The free end of the engaging post 1500 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 1510; the first limiting protrusion 1310 and the second limiting protrusion 1510 cooperate to prevent the latch 1300 from falling off and restricting the movement of the door panel 500. That is, when the user needs to open the door panel 500, the latch 1300 must be moved until the first limiting protrusion 1310 and the second limiting protrusion 1510 on the latch 1300 engage, thus preventing the latch 1300 from obstructing the opening of the door panel 500. The second limiting protrusion 1510 protrudes between the engaging posts 1500. In this embodiment, a first guide slope 1311 is provided on the side of the first limiting protrusion 1310 near the first bend 1420, and a second guide slope 1312 is provided on the side of the first limiting protrusion 1310 away from the first bend 1420; a third guide slope 1511 is provided on the side of the second limiting protrusion 1510 near the mounting plate 1100, and a fourth guide slope 1512 is provided on the side of the second limiting protrusion 1510 away from the mounting plate 1100. When the second guide slope 1312 abuts against the side of the mounting plate 1100 where the locking post 1500 is provided, the latch 1300 restricts the door panel 500 from rotating outward. When the second guide slope 1312 abuts against the fourth guide slope 1512, the latch 1300 is located at the position furthest from the door panel 500, avoiding affecting the normal opening of the door panel 500. The first guide slope 1311 and the third guide slope 1511 facilitate the smooth engagement of the first limiting protrusion 1310 and the second limiting protrusion 1510, thus preventing jamming during the movement of the locking tongue 1300.
[0061] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 16 as well as Figure 19 The latch 1300 has a first clearance groove 1320 recessed in the direction away from the first bend 1420 on the side near the first bend 1420. The design of the first clearance groove 1320 ensures that the latch 1300 has enough room to move, so as to avoid the door panel 500 being affected by the latch 1300 not rising to the right position.
[0062] Furthermore, a handle 1330 is provided on the side of the latch 1300 facing away from the mounting plate 1100, that is, a handle 1330 is provided on the outer side of the latch 1300, so that the user can grip and control the movement direction of the latch 1300, making the user's operation easier and more convenient.
[0063] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 19-20The door lock assembly further includes a second support plate 1600, a third support plate 1700, and a limiting member 1800. The second support plate 1600 is disposed on the mounting plate 1100 and near the bolt 1300. The third support plate 1700 is disposed on the mounting plate 1100 and near the bolt 1300. The limiting member 1800 is slidably fitted between the second support plate 1600 and the third support plate 1700. The limiting member 1800 restricts the movement of the bolt 1300 toward the first bent portion 1420. When the first limiting protrusion 1310 is engaged with the mounting plate 1100, the limiting member 1800 is slid toward the top side of the latch 1300 so that the bottom surface of the limiting member 1800 abuts against the top surface of the latch 1300, preventing the latch 1300 from moving toward the first bend 1420, further enhancing the security of the door panel 500 in the locked state and reducing the risk of the door panel 500 being accidentally unlocked.
[0064] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 22 The top surface of the limiting member 1800 may also be provided with a button protrusion 1811, so that the user can push the button protrusion 1811 to move the limiting member 1800 toward the top side of the latch 1300, thereby restricting the movement of the latch 1300 toward the first bend 1420. The button protrusion 1811 facilitates user operation.
[0065] Furthermore, referring to Figures 19-22 A latch limiting groove 1812 is provided on the side of the limiting member 1800 near the latch 1300. When the first limiting protrusion 1310 is engaged with the mounting plate 1100, the limiting member 1800 is slid toward the latch 1300 so that one end of the latch 1300 is placed in the latch limiting groove 1812, that is, the bottom surface of the latch limiting groove 1812 abuts against the top surface of one end of the latch 1300, thereby achieving precise limitation of the position of the latch 1300, ensuring the stability and reliability of the door lock assembly during operation, and preventing the door panel 500 from being accidentally unlocked due to accidental movement of the latch 1300.
[0066] In this embodiment, a second clearance groove 1813 is provided at the lower end of the limiting member 1800 and on the side near the locking post 1500 to prevent the limiting member 1800 from being restricted in its movement by the locking post 1500 as it moves toward the locking tongue 1300, thus ensuring the smooth movement of the limiting member 1800.
[0067] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 19-20The limiting member 1800 includes a limiting member body 1810, a first slide bar 1820, and a second slide bar 1830. The first slide bar 1820 is disposed on one side of the limiting member body 1810, and the second slide bar 1830 is disposed on the other side of the limiting member body 1810. The first slide bar 1820 and the second slide bar 1830 are slidably mounted on the second support plate 1600 and the third support plate 1700, respectively; the first slide bar 1820 and the second slide bar 1830 cooperate to allow the limiting member body 1810 to slide relative to the second support plate 1600 and the third support plate 1700. Specifically, the first slide bar 1820 and the second slide bar 1830 are slidably mounted on the top side of the second support plate 1600 and the top side of the third support plate 1700, respectively. The first slide bar 1820 and the second slide bar 1830 ensure that the limiting member body 1810 can slide smoothly and steadily relative to the second support plate 1600 and the third support plate 1700.
[0068] Furthermore, referring to Figure 22 The first slide bar 1820 has a first extension plate 1840 extending away from the limiting member body 1810 on its side away from the limiting member body 1810; a second extension plate 1850 extending vertically towards the mounting plate 1100 is provided on the bottom side of the first extension plate 1840; a first arc-shaped protrusion 1851 is provided on the side of the second extension plate 1850 facing the second support plate 1600; a second arc-shaped protrusion 1610 cooperating with the first arc-shaped protrusion 1851 is provided on the side of the second support plate 1600 facing away from the third support plate 1700. The first arc-shaped protrusion 1851 and the second arc-shaped protrusion 1610 cooperate to buffer and limit the sliding of the limiting member body 1810 during the sliding process, preventing the limiting member body 1810 from sliding accidentally due to external force, which would cause the latch 1300 to move, and ultimately cause the door panel 500 to be accidentally unlocked or locked, affecting the normal use by the user.
[0069] This embodiment also relates to a reptile tank, as shown in the following figure. Figures 1-4The system includes: a base 100, support columns 200, side panels 400, a top panel 300, a door panel 500, and a door lock assembly as described above. The top of the base 100 is open, and the inner wall of the base 100 is an inclined surface sloping inwards. Multiple support columns 200 are detachably mounted on the upper periphery of the base 100, and each support column 200 has a first slot 210 on both sides. Multiple side panels 400 are detachably mounted between two adjacent support columns 200, with each side of the side panel 400 inserted into a corresponding first slot 210. The top panel 300 is detachably mounted at the end of the support column 200 away from the base 100, and has ventilation holes 321. The door panel 500 is located between two adjacent support columns 200 and is movably mounted between the top panel 300 and / or the base 100, used to open or close the reptile tank. This reptile tank has the advantages of simple and quick unlocking and self-locking operation of the door panel 500 and a simple overall structure. In this embodiment, the door panel 500 is movably mounted between the top plate 300 and the base 100, and the door lock assembly is mounted between the free end of the door panel 500 and the top plate 300. Specifically, the door lock assembly is located on the top plate 300. During the closing process of the door panel 500, the latch 1300 can fall naturally under the action of gravity, realizing self-locking and making it easier to lock the door panel 500. In some embodiments, the door panel 500 is movably mounted on the top plate 300 or the base 100, and the door lock assembly is mounted between the free end of the door panel 500 and the base 100.
[0070] Specifically, a reptile tank, referring to Figures 1-4The system includes: a base 100, support pillars 200, a top plate 300, side plates 400, and a door panel 500. The top of the base 100 is open. In existing reptile tanks, the base is assembled with the surrounding panels, leaving gaps at the bottom that can lead to leaks during reptile care. While some reptile tanks use silicone sealant, this sealant is prone to mold or aging over time. In this reptile tank, the base 100 is a single, integrated unit, meeting the needs of a wider range of reptiles and avoiding leaks, aging, and mold issues, providing excellent waterproofing. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the base 100 is a single, lightweight, impact-resistant, and leak-proof design, allowing water to be poured into it for convenient home use. Multiple support pillars 200 are detachably mounted to the upper periphery of the base 100, each with a first slot 210 on both sides.
