Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of push-button technology, specifically to a combined panel button structure and push-button lock. Background Technology

[0002] Push-button locks, a common type of lock widely used in cabinet door applications, are favored by users for their convenient operation. In daily use, to lock the cabinet door, simply press the push button on the lock. The pressure causes the push rod inside the lock body to compress the connected spring. Simultaneously, the push rod extends the latch from the lock body. After the latch extends, the push rod is locked by a locking plate to prevent it from springing back, thus locking the cabinet door. To unlock the cabinet door, press the button again and release your finger. The locking plate releases the push rod, and the spring pushes the push rod upwards, causing the latch to retract into the lock body, unlocking the cabinet door.

[0003] A typical push-button lock consists of a panel, a button, and a lock body. Currently, the panels and buttons on the market are all integral metal structures. Although they have a good texture and appearance, they are heavy and costly. Furthermore, during the process of pressing the button to open or close the lock, the friction between the two metal parts can produce abnormal noises, affecting the user experience.
