Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of locking structure technology, and in particular to a sliding locking component. Background Technology

[0002] In foldable products, such as foldable walking aids, the folding structure requires sliding links to lock or unlock the entire frame. When locked, the ends of the links need to be restrained to prevent unlocking. When unlocking, the unlocking operation must be performed first to allow the links to slide freely before folding and storing.

[0003] Based on the above, the existing sliding locking structure employs a spring-loaded pin in the base. When the connecting rod slides to the locked position, the spring-loaded pin, under elastic action, inserts into the locking hole of the connecting rod, thus locking it. To unlock, the spring-loaded pin needs to be pressed to disengage it from the locking hole. The problem with this structure is that each connecting rod end requires a spring-loaded pin for locking, resulting in complex unlocking procedures and inconvenience for operation, requiring further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a sliding locking assembly.

[0005] A sliding locking assembly designed for this purpose includes a base, wherein a first locking member and a second locking member are connected to the base;

[0006] The first locking member and the second locking member are movable relative to the base body so that the second locking member and the first locking member move away from or close to each other;

[0007] A locking assembly for connecting or separating the first locking member and the second locking member.

[0008] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a locking hook and a locking ring, the locking ring being provided with a locking hook groove, and the locking hook being able to hook into the locking hook groove to form a lock or disengage from the locking hook groove to form an unlock;

[0009] The locking ring is located on the first locking member;

[0010] The locking hook is rotatably provided on the second locking member;

[0011] The locking hook is connected to an operating component.

[0012] Preferably, the second locking member is provided with an elastic element for constraining the locking hook to remain in the locked state.

[0013] Preferably, the locking hook is connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the second locking member;

[0014] The locking hook rotates around the axis of rotation to switch between locked and unlocked states.

[0015] The elastic element is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the second locking member, and the other end is connected to the second locking member.

[0016] Preferably, the operating element is a rope, and the second locking element has an opening through which the operating element extends outward from the second locking element.

[0017] Preferably, the moving direction of the first locking member is the same as the moving direction of the second locking member.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, this invention provides a locking assembly that can lock the first locking member and the second locking member together. The advantage of this structure is that when the first and second locking members are connected by a connecting rod, the locking assembly constrains the movement of the two connecting rods, reducing the need for a separate locking structure.

[0032] See Figures 1-5 A sliding locking assembly includes a base 10, wherein a first locking member 20 and a second locking member 30 are connected to the base 10;

[0033] The first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 are movable relative to the base 10, so that the second locking member 30 and the first locking member 20 are either far apart or close to each other.

[0034] A locking assembly 40 is provided to connect or separate the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30. In this embodiment, the locking assembly can lock the first locking member and the second locking member together. The advantage of this structure is that when the first locking member and the second locking member are connected by a connecting rod, the locking assembly constrains the movement of both connecting rods, reducing the need for a locking structure. Simultaneously, it saves time and effort during manual unlocking, reduces operational difficulty, and optimizes operational efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 are arranged to move vertically relative to the base 10. Furthermore, the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 are collar structures, both fitted onto the base 10 to move vertically relative to the base 10. The base 10 is a rod.

[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking assembly 40 includes a locking hook 410 and a locking ring 420. The locking ring 420 is provided with a locking hook groove 421. The locking hook 410 can hook into the locking hook groove 421 to form a lock or disengage from the locking hook groove 421 to form an unlock. The locking ring 420 is disposed on the first locking member 20. The locking hook 410 is rotatably disposed on the second locking member 30. The locking hook 410 is connected to an operating member 450. When the operating member 450 is operated manually or by other external forces to drive the locking hook 410 to rotate and disengage from the locking hook groove 421, the lock is unlocked. The advantage of this structure is that after unlocking, both the first locking member 20 and the second locking member 30 can slide freely.

[0037] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second locking member 30 is provided with an elastic element 440 for constraining the locking hook 410 to remain in the locked state. The function of the elastic element 440 is to constrain the locking hook 410 so that it remains in the locked state without the intervention of other forces, that is, the hook portion 411 of the locking hook 410 hooks into the locking hook groove 421. When an external force intervenes to drive the locking hook 410 to rotate and enter the unlocked state, the elastic element 440 is compressed to store force. This stored force is for the elastic element 440 to release its elastic force and drive the locking hook 410 back to the locked state when the external force constraint is released.

[0038] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking hook 410 is connected to a rotating shaft 430, which is rotatably connected to the second locking member 30. The locking hook 410 rotates about the axis of the rotating shaft 430 to switch between locked and unlocked states. The elastic element 440 is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 430. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the second locking member 30, and the other end is connected to the second locking member 30.

[0039] In this invention, the operating component 450 is a rope, and the second locking component 30 has an opening 310. The operating component 450 extends outward from the second locking component 30 through the opening 310. The use of a rope allows multiple sliding locking components to be connected to a single power source for unified control, reducing operational steps and optimizing the operation process. When unlocking, the power source is driven, which in turn drives the connected rope to operate different locking hooks 410 for unlocking. The power source can be a brake lever or other existing components to pull the rope, causing the locking hooks 410 to rotate and unlock.

[0040] In this invention, the moving direction of the first locking member 20 and the moving direction of the second locking member 30 are in the same direction.

[0041] See Figure 5 The specific usage illustration shows that the first locking component 20 is connected to the first connecting rod 50, and the second locking component 30 is connected to the second connecting rod 60. When the walker 70 is folded, the connecting rods need to slide to achieve storage. This is done by operating the locking assembly 40 to unlock, allowing the first locking component 20 and the second locking component 30 to slide.

[0042] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
