Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device security protection, and in particular to a door lock. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of smart homes, people's demands for the convenience, security, and intelligence of door lock systems are increasing. Door locks are also a crucial component in the dishwasher industry. Currently, most dishwasher door locks are designed to be difficult to open from the outside once locked. If manual locking were possible, such a structure would often require complex manufacturing processes and extremely high costs, and would also suffer from high maintenance costs and susceptibility to wear and tear. Furthermore, while some automatic door systems can achieve automatic opening and closing, their complex electromechanical structures result in high installation costs and insufficient security. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of this application is to provide a door lock that can be manually locked and cannot be easily opened from the outside after being locked, while having a simple manufacturing process and low cost.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a door lock, comprising:
[0005] First elastic element;
[0006] Sliding component;
[0007] A locking assembly, comprising a locked member and a locking member, wherein the locked member and the locking member engage in a locking cooperation.
[0008] The housing forms an accommodating space, and the sliding assembly, the locking member, and the first elastic member are disposed within the accommodating space. The locking member is rotatably fixed to the housing.
[0009] The first elastic member is used to hold the locking member, and the locked member can move along the sliding direction of the sliding assembly, thereby driving the locking member to rotate;
[0010] The door lock has an open state and a locked state. In the locked state, the locking member is locked in place with the locked member, and the first elastic member holds the locking member, so that the locking member maintains the locked engagement state with the locked member.
[0011] In some embodiments, the locked member is provided with a locking feature, the locking member includes a first locking engagement feature, a second locking engagement feature and a locking member body, the locking member body is provided with a rotating fixing member, the rotating fixing member is fixed to the housing, and the locking member can rotate around the rotating fixing member;
[0012] The first locking engagement feature can engage with the locking feature, and the second locking engagement feature can engage with the sliding component.
[0013] In some embodiments, the door lock further includes an elastic connector disposed between the first elastic member and the locking member, the elastic connector being used to apply the force of the first elastic member to the locking member;
[0014] The elastic connector supports the locking member, and when the locking member rotates, it moves along the connecting edge of the elastic connector.
[0015] In some embodiments, the connecting edge between the locking member and the resilient connector includes a first supporting section and a second supporting section;
[0016] When the door lock is in the open state, the contact point between the locking member and the elastic connecting member is located at the first supporting section. At this time, the first elastic member provides a force to the locking member to prevent it from rotating in a locking manner.
[0017] When the door lock is in the locked state, the contact point between the locking member and the elastic connecting member is located at the second supporting section. At this time, the first elastic member applies a locking rotation force to the locking member, thereby making the first locking engagement feature and the locking feature tightly locked together.
[0018] In some embodiments, the locking member further includes a protrusion, which is composed of a first protrusion segment and a second protrusion segment. The protrusion is located on the side of the locked member body that is away from the first locking engagement feature and the second locking engagement feature, and the connecting edge of the elastic connector holds the protrusion.
[0019] When the door lock is in the open state, the first supporting section of the elastic connector supports one side of the first protruding section of the protrusion; when the door lock is in the locked state, the second supporting section of the elastic connector supports one side of the second protruding section of the protrusion.
[0020] In some embodiments, the sliding assembly includes a seal and a slider. The housing has an opening, the seal is disposed at the opening of the housing and connected to the slider, and the locked member enters the housing through the housing opening, abutting against and driving the seal to move along the slider.
[0021] In some embodiments, the sealing member is provided with a contact engagement feature that matches the locking member on the side facing the sliding member. When the locked member drives the sealing member to move, the contact engagement feature engages with the second locking engagement feature of the locking member, thereby driving the locking member to rotate.
[0022] In some embodiments, the door lock further includes a drive assembly disposed within the housing; a limiting member is also disposed within the housing, and the sliding member is connected to the drive assembly via the limiting member.
[0023] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a drive member, a transmission member, and a connector, wherein the drive member is connected to the transmission member, and the connector is connected to the transmission member and the slider.
[0024] In some embodiments, the drive assembly is further provided with a second elastic member, one end of which is disposed in the housing and the other end of which is connected to the connector. The second elastic member provides a force to the connector toward the opening of the housing, and the housing is used to allow the seal to abut against the opening when the door lock is in the open state.
[0025] The door lock provided in this application combines elastic elements and locking components in a reasonable way, which not only enables manual locking but also prevents it from being easily opened from the outside after locking. At the same time, the door lock of this application has a reasonable and simple structure, which not only has a low cost but also low installation and warranty costs and high security.

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0039] With the rapid development of smart homes, people's demands for the convenience, security, and intelligence of door lock systems are increasing. In the dishwasher industry, door locks are also frequently used components, leading to increasingly higher requirements from users. Current dishwasher technology often incorporates functions similar to child locks, and some dishwashers use fully automatic door opening and closing. Such complex electromechanical structures result in high installation costs and insufficient security. Manually lockable dishwasher door locks, on the other hand, often suffer from complex structures and cannot adequately guarantee a tight seal.
[0040] The purpose of this application is to overcome the defects and deficiencies in the prior art and provide a door lock that aims to solve the problems of complex door lock structure, difficult installation and warranty, and high cost in dishwasher door locks.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a door lock according to an embodiment of this application. The door lock of this application includes a first elastic member 10, a sliding assembly 30, a locking assembly 40, and a housing 50. The locking assembly 40 includes a locked member 400 and a locking member 401. The locked member 400 and the locking member 401 engage in a locking engagement. In some embodiments, the locked member 400 may be, but is not limited to, a latch. The latch is located outside the housing 50, and the locked member 400 passes through the housing 50 to engage with the locking member 401 inside the housing 50. The first elastic member 10 holds the locking member 401, and the locked member 400 slides along the sliding direction of the sliding assembly 30, thereby causing the locking member 401 to rotate. This gradually engages the locked member 400 and the locking member 401 until they are fully engaged, at which point the door lock is complete. In some embodiments, the first elastic member 10 is a spring and is in a compressed state, which applies a force to the locking member 401 away from the locking member 401, and the force changes as the locking member 401 rotates.
[0042] The locked member 400 moves under external force, which is the process of manual locking. When the locking state is completed, in order to prevent the door lock from being opened by applying external force to the locked member 400, it can only be unlocked from the inside of the door lock to achieve the effect of child lock. At this time, the first elastic member 10 cooperates with the locked member 400 and the locking member 401 so that the locking member 401 will not be rotated by the force in the direction of the locking member 401; it can only be rotated by the force applied from the direction of the sliding component 30.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a detailed structural diagram of the locked member, locking member, and elastic connector according to an embodiment of this application. The locked member 400 is provided with a locking feature 4000. The locking member 401 includes a first locking engagement feature 4011, a second locking engagement feature 4012, and a locking member body 4013. A rotating fixing member 4013a is provided on the locking member body 4013. The rotating fixing member 4013a is fixed to the housing 50, and the locking member 401 can rotate around the rotating fixing member 4013a. The first locking engagement feature 4011 engages with the locking feature 4000, and the second locking engagement feature 4012 engages with the sliding component 30. In some embodiments, the locking member 401 is a bird-beak shaped rotating block, with one end of the locking member 401 having an "I"-shaped opening and the other end having a protrusion 4010 formed at a certain angle by two inclined edges; wherein, one side of the "I"-shaped opening faces the locked member 400, and the two sides of the "I"-shaped opening respectively form a first locking engagement feature 4011 and a second locking engagement feature 4012; the locked member 400 is a flat-bottomed latch, and the locked member 400 is provided with a groove that matches the first locking engagement feature 4011, thereby forming a hook-shaped latch. In some embodiments, the rotating fixing member 4013a is a rotating column, and the locking member 401 can rotate around the axis of the column. When the door lock is locked, the rotating fixing member 4013a rotates clockwise, and when the door lock is unlocked, the rotating fixing member 4013a rotates counterclockwise.
[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 yes Figure 1A schematic diagram of the door lock from another perspective of the embodiment; the door lock also includes an elastic connector 20, which connects the first elastic member 10 and the locking member 401. The elastic connector 20 is used to uniformly apply the force of the first elastic member 10 to the locking member 401; the locking member 401 is slidably connected to the elastic connector 20, and slides along the connecting edge of the elastic connector 20 when the locking member 401 rotates. In some embodiments, the elastic connector 20 is a trapezoidal slider, which includes a first side 200 and a second side 201, which are arranged opposite to each other; wherein, the first side 200 is the connecting edge of the locking member 401 and the elastic connector 20, and the first side 200 is a combination of a first supporting section 2000 and a second supporting section 2001; the second side 201 of the elastic connector 20 has a receiving groove 2010, and the first elastic member 10 extends into the receiving groove 2010 and abuts against the first side 200. The first side 200 abuts against the protrusion 4010 of the locking member 401, and the force of the elastic member is transmitted to the locking member 401 through the protrusion 4010 of the locking member 401. The protrusion 4010 includes a first protrusion segment 4010a and a second protrusion segment 4010b. The first protrusion segment 4010a is connected to the first locking engagement feature 4011, and the second protrusion segment 4010b is connected to the second locking engagement feature 4012. When the first protrusion segment 4010a and the second protrusion segment 4010b are respectively connected to the elastic connecting member 20, the force exerted by the elastic connecting member 20 on the locking member 401 is different.
[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the door lock in the open state according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the door lock in the locked state according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the door lock in the locked state according to an embodiment of this application. A constant force is given to the locked part 400 in the sliding direction toward the sliding component 30.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, when the door lock is in the open state, the locked member 400 has not yet come into contact with the locking member 401. The end point of the first abutting section 2000 of the elastic connector 20 abuts the first protruding section 4010a. At this time, the first abutting section 2000 provides a holding force to the first protruding section 4010a. The direction of this holding force tends to cause the locking member 401 to rotate counterclockwise. In this state, the locking member 401 remains stable and will not easily rotate. The opening direction is towards the direction in which the locked member 400 enters the housing 50, so that the locked member 400 can cooperate with the locking member 401 when it enters the housing 50.
[0047] When the door lock is engaged and the first protruding section 4010a slides between the first supporting section 2000 of the elastic connector 20, the locked member 400 contacts the locking member 401, and the locked member 400 drives the locking member 401 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the first supporting section 2000 provides a supporting force to the first protruding section 4010a. The direction of this supporting force tends to cause the locking member 401 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the supporting force resists the force of the locked member 400. This arrangement can make there be resistance when the locked member 400 and the locking member 401 are engaged.
[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, when the door lock is engaged, and the connection point of the first protrusion 4010a and the second protrusion 4010b is in contact with the connection point of the first supporting section 2000 and the second supporting section 2001 of the elastic connector 20, the connection point of the first protrusion 4010a and the second protrusion 4010b with the connection point of the first supporting section 2000 and the second supporting section 2001 of the elastic connector 20 is on the same horizontal line as the rotating fixing member 4013a. At this time, the force applied by the elastic connector 20 to the locking member 401 will not affect the rotation of the locking member. This is the midpoint of the locking process. Before and after this point, the supporting force applied by the elastic connector 20 to the locking member 401 affects the rotation direction of the locking member 401 differently.
[0049] When the door lock is engaged and the second protruding section 4010b slides between the second supporting section 2001 of the elastic connector 20, the locked member 400 contacts the locking member 401, and the locked member 400 drives the locking member 401 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the second supporting section 2001 applies a supporting force to the second protruding section 4010b. The direction of this supporting force tends to cause the locking member 401 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the supporting force and the force applied to the locking member 401 by the locked member 400 tend to be the same, and the locking member 401 accelerates to complete the locking.
[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, when the door lock is in the locked state, the end point of the second abutting section 2001 of the elastic connector 20 abuts the second protruding section 4010b; at this time, the second abutting section 2001 provides a holding force to the second protruding section 4010b, and the direction of this holding force tends to cause the locking member 401 to rotate clockwise, thereby making the locked member 400 and the first locking feature 4000 and the first locking engagement feature 4011 of the locking member 401 tightly engaged; in this state, the first elastic member 10 engages with the locked member 400 and the locking member 401, so that the locked member 400 and the locking member 401 are subjected to the holding force brought by the first elastic member 10, so that the locking member 401 will not be driven to rotate by the force in the direction of the locking member 400; it can only be driven to rotate by the force applied from the direction of the sliding component 30, so that the door lock will not be easily opened by external forces.
[0051] The door lock of this application, through the linkage of the locking member 401 and the elastic connector 20, cleverly transforms the resistance encountered when the locking member 400 enters the door lock into an accelerated locking mechanism. Furthermore, it prevents the door lock from rotating due to force applied in the direction of the locking member 401 during locking; rotation is only possible due to force applied in the direction of the sliding component 30. This prevents the door lock from being easily opened by external forces. Simultaneously, the design is reasonable and simple, resulting in lower manufacturing costs, lower installation and warranty costs, and higher security.
[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the door lock in the locked state according to another embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the first side 200 only includes the first supporting section 2000; the first protruding section 4010a and the second protruding section 4010b cooperate with the first supporting section 2000, and the locking member 401 and the elastic connecting member 20 of the door lock are linked. This can also achieve the effect that the locked member 400 goes from being resisted when entering the door lock to being able to accelerate the locking process, and the door lock will not be driven to rotate by the force in the direction of the locking member 401 when locked; it can only be driven to rotate by the force applied in the direction of the sliding component 30, so that the door lock will not be easily opened by the force outside the door lock. However, because there is no segmentation and no clear midpoint of the locking process, the door lock will be in the intermediate state of the above embodiment for a long time when locked, so there may be problems such as jamming when locking, and the effect is not as good as the above embodiment.
[0053] In other embodiments, the first side may include multiple holding segments. The locking method of this embodiment is similar to the combination of the first holding segment 2000 and the second holding segment 2001 of the first side 200, so it will not be described in detail. Its protection scope is included in this application.
[0054] like Figure 1As shown, the sliding assembly 30 includes a seal 300 and a slider 301. The housing 50 has an opening, and the seal 300 is disposed at the opening of the housing 50 and connected to the slider 301. The locking member 400 enters the housing 50 through the opening, abutting against and driving the seal 300 to slide along the slider 301. The seal 300 has a contact engagement feature 3001 on the side facing the slider 301 that matches the locking member 401. When the locking member 400 drives the seal 300 to slide, the contact engagement feature 3001 contacts and engages with the locking member 401, thereby driving the locking member 401 to rotate. In some embodiments, the sliding member 301 is a sliding rod, and the side of the sealing member 300 facing the opening is configured to match the shape of the opening to achieve a seal. The side of the sealing member 300 facing the sliding member 301 is provided with a snap-fit groove 3000, and the end of the sliding member 301 is provided with a snap-fit member 3010. The snap-fit groove 3000 and the snap-fit member 3010 of the sliding member 301 and the sealing member 300 cooperate to form a snap-fit connection. The snap-fit groove 3000 is disposed in the contact fit feature 3001, and the thickness of the snap-fit groove 3000 is the same as the thickness of the sliding member 301, so that the snap-fit of the sliding member 301 and the sealing member 300 will not affect the contact fit between the sealing member 300 and the locking member 401.
[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 50 includes a first housing 500 and a second housing 501. The first housing 500 includes a first cover 5001, and the second housing 501 includes a second cover 5010. A first elastic member 10, a sealing member 300, and a locking member 401 are disposed within the first housing 500. The first elastic member 10 is fixed to the side wall of the first housing 500. The housing 50 forms an accommodating space and protects the sliding assembly 30, the locking assembly 40, and the first elastic member 10. The locking member 401 is rotatably fixed to the housing 50. The door lock also includes a drive assembly 60, which is disposed within the second housing 501. The first housing 500 and the second housing 501 are provided with a limiting member 5000. In some embodiments, the limiting member 5000 may be, but is not limited to, a clearance groove that matches the shape of the sliding member 301. The sliding member 301 enters the first housing 500 through the second housing 501 via the limiting member 5000. The drive assembly 60 is connected to the sliding member 301, and the sliding member 301 is connected to the sealing member 300 via the clearance groove. When the door lock is locked, the sealing member 300 and the locking member 401 abut against the clearance groove.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drive assembly 60 includes a drive member 600, a transmission member 601, and a connecting member 602. The drive member 600 is connected to the transmission member 601, and the connecting member 602 is connected to the transmission member 601 and the sliding member 301. In some embodiments, the drive member 600 is a drive motor, the transmission member 601 is a reduction gear set, the transmission member 601 and the drive member 600 are connected by a worm gear, and the connecting member 602 is a rack gear. A slide rail is provided on the second housing 501, and the connecting member 602 moves on the slide rail. The rack teeth of the rack gear... The drive unit 600 is connected to the reduction gear set, which allows the drive unit 600 to move the connecting unit 602. A slider 603 is also provided on the connection to connect with the sliding member 301. When the door lock needs to be unlocked, the drive unit 600 drives the connecting member 602 to move in the opening direction, which in turn drives the sliding member 301 to move in the opening direction. The sealing member 300 causes the locking feature 4000 of the locked member 400 and the first locking engagement feature 4011 of the locking member 401 to separate, thereby achieving the unlocking effect.
[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 60 is also provided with a second elastic element 604, which is connected to the connector 602. In some embodiments, the second elastic element 604 is a torsion spring and is provided on both sides of the connector 602. The torsion spring gives the connector 602 a force toward the opening, so that when the door lock is in the open state, the sealing element 300 can be abutted against the opening of the housing 50 by the force given to the connector 602 by the torsion spring, thereby achieving a seal.
[0058] The door lock of this application, through the cooperation of the drive component and the sliding component, can achieve manual locking and automatic unlocking, while being flexible and convenient, and also has extremely high security.
[0059] The above description is only a part of the embodiments of this application and does not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent device or equivalent process transformation made based on the content of this application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are similarly included in the patent protection scope of this application.
