[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] An automatic locking device for mine safety doors, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes a movable plate 2, a fixed plate 1, a locking structure, and a one-way unlocking structure, specifically:
[0025] Moving plate 2 and fixed plate 1 as follows Figure 4 As shown, both are vertically arranged plate structures, with the movable plate 2 positioned in front of the fixed plate 1.
[0026] Locking structures, such as Figure 5As shown, the system includes a locking tongue 3, a pressing block 5, a sleeve groove 4, a return spring 10, a fixed magnetic block 7, and a movable magnetic block 6. The locking tongue 3 is fixed to the rear side wall of the moving plate 2 and has a through hole in the vertical direction. A sleeve groove 4 is formed on the front side wall of the fixed plate 1 corresponding to the locking tongue 3. The pressing block 5 is movably sleeved in the sleeve groove 4 and connected to the bottom of the sleeve groove 4 through the return spring 10. The fixed magnetic block 7 and the movable magnetic block 6 are respectively set on the upper and lower sides of the pressing block 5. The fixed magnetic block 7 is embedded in the lower side wall of the sleeve groove 4, and the movable magnetic block 6 is slidably set in the upper side wall of the sleeve groove 4. The locking tongue 3 is inserted into the sleeve groove 4. After the moving plate 2 overlaps the fixed plate 1, the locking tongue 3 is inserted into the sleeve groove 4 and pushes the pressing block 5 to move to the rear. After the through hole aligns with the movable magnetic block 6, the movable magnetic block 6 passes through the through hole and is attracted together with the fixed magnetic block 7. At this time, the moving plate 2 and the fixed plate 1 are connected and fixed together by a locking structure (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown).
[0027] One-way unlocking structure such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the assembly includes a handle 8, a trigger 9, a one-way rack 12, a toothed block 13, a contact spring 11, and a connecting rod 15. A pair of vertical grooves 14 are formed on the rear side wall of the fixed plate 1. The handle 8 is a U-shaped rod with its opening facing forward, and its upper end is slidably disposed in the groove 14. One end of the connecting rod 15 is connected to the bottom of the handle 8, and the other end passes through the fixed plate 1 and is connected and fixed together with the side wall of the movable magnetic block 6. The one-way rack 12 is arranged vertically and fixed on the rear side wall of the fixed plate 1 (the one-way rack 12 is disposed between the grooves 14). The trigger 9 is an L-shaped structure and is disposed inside the handle 8. A toothed block 13 is fixed to the front end of its horizontal section, and the bottom of its vertical section is hinged to the handle 8. After the top of the vertical section is connected to the handle 8 through the contact spring 11, the toothed block 13 abuts against the one-way rack 12 and cooperates with the one-way rack 12, preventing the handle 8 from sliding upward (under gravity, the handle 8 drives the movable magnetic block 6 to slide downward).
[0028] In the specific implementation of this embodiment:
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, four columns 18 are fixed around the lifting platform 16, and a safety door 17 is provided between the two front columns 18. Guardrails are fixed between the other two columns 18. The movable plate 2 is fixed on the free side of the safety door 17, and the fixed plate 1 is fixed on the other column 18 of the two front columns 18.
[0030] After the workers and mine cars enter the lifting platform 16, the safety door 17 closes, and the moving plate 2 overlaps the fixed plate 1. The locking tongue 3 is inserted into the sleeve groove 4 and pushes the pressing block 5 to move to the rear until the perforation is aligned with the movable magnetic block 6. Then the movable magnetic block 6 passes through the perforation and is attracted together with the fixed magnetic block 7. At this time, the moving plate 2 and the fixed plate 1 are connected and fixed together by the locking structure.
[0031] When the lifting platform 16 is raised or lowered, it vibrates, and under the action of the resisting spring 11, the toothed block 13 abuts against the one-way rack 12 and cooperates with the one-way rack 12, so that the handle 8 cannot slide upward. The movable magnetic block 6 passes through the hole and is attracted together with the fixed magnetic block 7.
[0032] After the lifting platform 16 has finished lifting, press the inner trigger 9 of the handle 8, and the toothed block 13 will disengage from the one-way rack 12. Then control the handle 8 to slide upward, and drive the movable magnetic block 6 to disengage from the fixed magnetic block 7. Under the elastic force of the return spring 10, the pressing block 5 pushes out the locking tongue 3, and the locking structure connection state is released.
[0033] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
