[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lock technology, specifically relating to a labor-saving lock. Background Technology

[0002] Locks typically include a bolt assembly, a linkage assembly, and a cylinder derailleur. The movement of the bolt is controlled by the cooperation between the cylinder derailleur and the linkage assembly, thus achieving locking and unlocking.

In order to achieve forward and reverse cooperation between the cylinder derailleur plate and the derailleur plate, the forward and reverse rotation angles of the cylinder derailleur plate are limited to a small range, making it impossible to achieve large-angle rotation, resulting in difficulty in locking and unlocking.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a labor-saving lock, which includes a lock housing 10, and a lock cylinder dial 20, a bolt assembly, and a linkage assembly assembled in the lock housing 10; the bolt assembly includes a main support plate 32 and a main bolt 31 assembled above the main support plate 32.

[0025] The linkage assembly includes a first lever 41 for unlocking and a second lever 51 for locking. The first lever 41 has a first force-bearing structure that cooperates with the lock cylinder wheel 20, and the second lever 51 has a second force-bearing structure that cooperates with the lock cylinder wheel 20. The lock cylinder wheel 20 has a protruding lever 21. The first force-bearing structure is located on the forward rotation trajectory of the lever 21, and the second force-bearing structure is located on the reverse rotation trajectory of the lever 21. Specifically, the first lever 41 and the second lever 51 are respectively located on both sides of the lock cylinder wheel 20. The first force-bearing structure is a first force-bearing piece 411 formed at the end of the first lever 41, which extends toward the lock cylinder wheel 20. The second force-bearing structure is a second force-bearing piece 511 vertically disposed at the end of the second lever 51. The lever and rotating parts are provided in two sets. The force-bearing structures of the two levers are respectively set on the forward and reverse rotation paths of the lock cylinder lever 20, and respectively perform the unlocking and locking actions. This removes the limitation on the forward and reverse rotation angles of the lock cylinder lever 20, allowing the lock cylinder lever 20 to achieve large-angle rotation, making unlocking and locking more effortless.

[0026] A first rotating member 42 is hinged to the first lever plate 41, and a second rotating member 52 is hinged to the second lever plate 51. The linkage assembly also includes a tray linkage member 33 that is linked and cooperates with the main tray plate 32. The tray linkage member 33 is provided with a insert 331. The main tray plate 32 has a first slot that cooperates with the insert 331, and the second rotating member 52 has a second slot that cooperates with the insert 331. The tray linkage member 33 is also provided with a force-bearing pin 332. The first rotating member 42 is provided with a first force-applying arm 421 that cooperates with the force-bearing pin 332. The first rotating member 42 includes a first rotating arm. The first rotating part has a first force-applying arm 421 protruding from the periphery of the first rotating part; the periphery of the first rotating part also has a first hinge arm 422 that is rotatably hinged to the first lever plate 41; a first rotating hole is opened in the center of the first rotating part; the pallet linkage 33 has a first end angle and a second end angle, the insert 331 and the force-receiving pin 332 are both located at the first end angle, and a second rotating hole is opened at the second end angle; a pin 11 is fixed on the lock housing 10, and the pin 11 passes through the first rotating hole and the second rotating hole, and the first rotating part 42 and the pallet linkage 33 both rotate around the pin 11 as the rotation center. When the lock cylinder dial 20 rotates forward, the first dial plate 41 moves under force, driving the first rotating component 42 to rotate. The first force-applying arm 421 of the first rotating component 42 applies force to the force-receiving pin 332 of the support plate linkage component 33, causing the support plate linkage component 33 to swing, driving the main support plate 32 and the main lock tongue 31 to retract, thus unlocking. When the lock cylinder dial rotates in reverse, the second dial plate 51 moves under force, driving the second rotating component 52 to rotate. The second slot of the second rotating component 52 engages with the insert 331 of the support plate linkage component 33, causing the support plate linkage component 33 to swing, driving the main support plate 32 and the main lock tongue 31 to extend outward, thus locking. Both rotating components are linked with the main support plate 32 through the support plate linkage component 33, thereby completing the unlocking and locking actions. The structure is compact and the cooperation is reliable.

[0027] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the latch assembly also includes a beveled latch 61 and a support rod 62 fixed on the beveled latch 61. The lock housing 10 is also equipped with a handle deflector 80 and a handle linkage wheel 91 mounted on the handle shaft 70. The handle deflector 80 includes a first main wheel that engages and disengages with the handle shaft 70, and a paddle 81 and a linkage plate 82 protruding from the periphery of the first main wheel. The paddle 81 extends toward the drag bar and engages with a baffle at the bottom of the drag bar. When the handle shaft 70 rotates clockwise, it drives the handle deflector 80 to rotate. The paddle 81, in conjunction with the baffle, drives the support rod 62 and the beveled latch. 61 moves down, causing the oblique tongue 61 to retract; the linkage plate 82 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 821, and the first lever plate 41 is formed with a linkage pin 412 that cooperates with the linkage plate 82. The linkage pin 412 passes through the tail end of the arc-shaped groove 821. When the first lever plate 41 performs the unlocking action, it will push the handle lever wheel 80 to rotate to pull back the oblique tongue 61. The arc-shaped groove 821 can make way for the linkage pin 412, and only cooperate when cooperation is needed, so as to avoid the first lever plate 41 from being passively displaced when the handle lever wheel 80 rotates actively.

[0028] The handle linkage wheel 91 includes a second main body wheel that engages and disengages with the handle shaft 70, and a swing arm 911 protruding from the periphery of the second main body wheel. A handle linkage plate 92 is provided between the handle linkage wheel 91 and the second rotating member 52 to realize the linkage between the handle and the latch plate. The handle linkage plate 92 includes a first linkage arm 921 and a second linkage arm 922. The connection position of the first linkage arm 921 and the second linkage arm 922 is at an obtuse angle. The end of the first linkage arm 921 is hinged to the swing arm 911, and the end of the second linkage arm 922 is hinged to the second rotating member 52. The linkage wheel and the linkage plate realize the linkage between the handle shaft 70 and the main latch assembly, and the locking and unlocking are realized through the handle shaft 70.

[0029] This utility model optimizes the structure and coordination of the linkage components, thereby removing the limitation on the forward and reverse rotation angles of the lock cylinder dial 20. The lock cylinder dial 20 can achieve large-angle rotation, making unlocking and locking more effortless. The structure of each linkage component is reasonably designed and the coordination is reliable.
