Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a handle flat lock, specifically a handle flat lock with an auxiliary pop-out mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A flat handle lock is a type of door lock with a handle, commonly found on electrical cabinets. These cabinets are typically made of steel and are used to protect the components, requiring this type of lock to prevent the door from being opened unnecessarily. A flat handle lock generally includes a base, handle, pivot, and bolt assembly. The base contains a lock cylinder assembly and a button assembly for locking the handle. Examples include Chinese patent application number 202310437653.5, published on July 14, 2023, entitled "Hidden Handle Flat Lock"; and Chinese patent application number 202420876765.0, authorized on January 7, 2025, entitled "A Sliding Dust Cover for a Flat Lock Handle." The handles of these products and similar products generally rely on only a torsion spring for ejection, resulting in poor ejection performance. Furthermore, the lock cylinder at one end of the handle lacks an auxiliary ejection mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a flat handle lock with auxiliary ejection mechanism, thereby solving the technical problem that existing similar products generally rely on only a torsion spring to achieve handle ejection, resulting in unsatisfactory ejection performance, and that the lock cylinder lacks an auxiliary ejection mechanism at one end. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0004] A flat handle lock with an auxiliary ejection mechanism is disclosed. The handle is positioned within a handle groove on the top of a base. One end of the handle is hinged to one end of a rotating shaft within a rotating hole at one end of the base and equipped with a torsion spring. The other end of the rotating shaft extends out of the base and is connected to an actuator via a rotating screw. A positioning plate is located at the bottom of the rotating hole in the base at the actuator. A lock cylinder assembly is located at the other end of the handle within the handle groove of the base. The lock head at the bottom of the lock cylinder assembly extends out of the handle and is fixed to the lock groove within the base. The key structural design feature is a lock housing within the lock groove of the base. A lock hook spring is located on one side of the lock housing. One end of the lock hook spring is aligned with the lock head of the lock cylinder assembly, and the other end has a hook groove. A protrusion at one end of a pin is positioned within the hook groove of the lock hook spring to engage the hook. A first spring is located at the bottom of this end of the pin. The top of the other end of the pin extends out of the lock housing and abuts against the bottom of one end of the lock cylinder assembly of the handle within the handle groove. When the lock head of the lock cylinder assembly rotates and unlocks from the lock groove within the base, the lock... The lock head of the core assembly pushes the lock hook spring to move towards the hook groove side. The hook groove of the lock hook spring disengages from the hook groove of the pin. Simultaneously, the handle pops out of the handle groove of the base via the torsion spring. At the same time, the handle pops out of the handle groove of the base from left and right via the pin and the first spring. The lock hook spring returns to its original position due to elastic action. When the handle is pressed into the handle groove of the base, the handle pushes the pin to return to its original position. The protrusion of the pin engages with the hook in the hook groove of the lock hook spring, and the pin retracts into the lock case. The lock head of the lock core assembly engages and locks with the lock groove in the base. The aforementioned lock hook spring undergoes displacement change through self-locking elastic interference deformation or the action of the second spring. The protrusion of the pin is either an integrally formed protrusion or a through-inserted pin.

[0005] One end of the groove of the locking hook spring is abutted against the inner wall of the lock case by a second spring, and the locking hook spring is reset by the elastic action of the second spring. The above structure further improves the reset effect of the locking hook spring.

[0006] The pin has a horizontally positioned protrusion that extends laterally into the hook groove of the locking hook spring, with at least one end of the pin extending out of a groove on one side of the lock housing. This structure further improves the stability of the pin's vertical movement.

[0007] The lock case includes a lock case base and a lock case cover. A lock hook spring, a pin, a first spring, a second spring, and a pin are disposed within the lock case formed by the lock case base and the lock case cover. One end of the lock hook spring extends out of the lock case and aligns with the lock head of the lock cylinder assembly, while the top of the pin extends out of the lock case. This structure facilitates the assembly and use of the lock case as a whole.

[0008] The base has symmetrical positioning grooves on both sides of the pivot hole, the shape of which corresponds to the triangular heads protruding on both sides of the bottom of the pivot end of the upper handle. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the inner wall of the handle groove end of the base above the positioning groove end. When the handle pops out, the end of the handle rotates within the arc-shaped groove of the base. This structural design reduces the gap between the handle and the handle groove inside the base, improving the dustproof sealing effect of the handle. This can also be achieved through the hemispherical inner wall of the base at the handle end of the pivot.

[0009] The base has a sealing washer at the top of the handle groove, extending above the groove opening. The top plane of the handle is aligned with the opening plane of the sealing washer. The outer diameter of the handle groove of the base has at least two symmetrically and equidistantly arranged base mounting ears. The sealing mounting ears of the sealing washer are embedded in the grooves of the base mounting ears. This structure further improves the sealing and dustproof performance of the base and handle.

[0010] The handle has a dust cover on the top keyhole of the lock cylinder assembly. The dust cover screw passes through the handle and abuts against the end of the pin below. The above is an embodiment where the dust cover abuts against the pin; it can also be achieved by having the bottom of the handle abut against the pin.

[0011] The actuator is a bolt assembly, a connecting rod assembly, or a bolt-connecting rod assembly. The above describes the specific structure of the actuator, which is configured according to actual needs.

[0012] The protruding end of the pin is equipped with a magnet. When the protruding end of the pin engages with the hook in the groove of the locking hook spring, the magnet corresponds to a Hall sensor inside the lock housing, or the magnet corresponds to a Hall sensor on the outer diameter of the base through a through hole on one side of the base. This allows for easy confirmation of whether the pin has been reset by pressing the handle, and thus confirms whether the handle has retracted into the base, through the interaction between the Hall sensor and the magnet of the pin.

[0013] This utility model has a reasonable and simple structural design, is convenient to produce, assemble and use, has a good concealment effect of the base, with only the handle exposed on the door panel, and has a good sealing and dustproof effect. In particular, the handle is guaranteed to pop out and be used through the dual action of torsion spring and pin. It is suitable for use as a flat lock with an auxiliary pop-out handle, as well as for structural improvements of similar products. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The structure and use of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7As shown, the handle 2 of the flat handle lock is located in the handle groove at the top of the base 1. One end of the handle is hinged to one end of the rotating shaft 16 in the rotating shaft hole at one end of the base and is provided with a torsion spring 17. The other end of the rotating shaft in the base extends out and is connected to the actuator through the rotating shaft screw. The bottom opening of the rotating shaft hole of the base at the actuator is provided with a positioning piece 15. The actuator is a steel bolt assembly 8. The other end of the handle in the handle groove of the base is provided with a lock cylinder assembly 6. The lock head 601 at the bottom of the lock cylinder assembly extends out of the handle and is fixed in the lock groove in the base. A lock case is provided in the lock groove inside the base. A lock hook spring 7 is provided on one side inside the lock case. One end of the lock hook spring is aligned with the lock head of the lock cylinder assembly. The other end of the lock hook spring is provided with a hook groove 701. This end of the lock hook spring abuts against the inner wall of the lock case through a second spring 13. A horizontally penetrating pin 14 is provided in the hook groove of the lock hook spring. A hook for locking the pin is provided on one side of the hook groove of the lock hook spring. The pin is fixedly set at one end of the pin 10 inserted into the lock case. A first spring 11 is provided at the bottom of the pin end. The top of the other end of the pin extends out of the lock case and abuts against the bottom of one end of the lock cylinder assembly of the handle in the handle groove. When the lock cylinder assembly's cylinder head rotates and unlocks from the lock groove in the base, the lock cylinder assembly's cylinder head pushes the lock hook spring to move towards the hook groove. The hook groove of the lock hook spring disengages from the hook groove of the pin. Simultaneously, the handle pops out of the handle groove of the base via the torsion spring. At the same time, the handle pops out of the handle groove of the base from the left and right via the pin and the first spring. The lock hook spring resets due to the elastic action of the second spring. When the handle is pressed back into the handle groove of the base, the handle pushes the pin back to reset. The pin of the pin engages with the hook in the hook groove of the lock hook spring. The pin retracts into the lock case, and the lock cylinder assembly's cylinder head engages and locks with the lock groove in the base.

[0023] The aforementioned pin, horizontally positioned, is horizontally inserted into the hook groove of the lock hook spring, with one end of the pin extending out of a sliding groove on one side of the lock housing. The lock housing includes a lock housing base 5 and a lock housing cover 12. The lock hook spring, pin, first spring, second spring 13, and pin are disposed within the lock housing formed by the lock housing base and lock housing cover. One end of the lock hook spring extends out of the lock housing and aligns with the lock head of the lock cylinder assembly, while the top of the pin extends out of the lock housing. The base has symmetrically arranged positioning grooves 101 on both sides of the pivot hole. The shape of the positioning groove corresponds to the triangular heads 201 protruding from both sides of the bottom of one end of the pivot of the upper handle. An arc-shaped groove 102 is provided on the inner wall of the handle groove end of the base above the positioning groove end. When the handle is extended, the end of the handle rotates within the arc-shaped groove of the base.

[0024] The base has a sealing washer 4 extending above the handle groove opening at its top. The top plane of the handle is aligned with the opening plane of the sealing washer. The outer diameter of the handle groove of the base has six symmetrically arranged, equidistant base mounting ears. The sealing mounting ears of the sealing washer are embedded in the grooves of the base mounting ears. The keyhole at the top of the handle's lock cylinder assembly has a dust cover 3. The dust cover screw 9 passes through the handle and abuts against the end of the pin below.

[0025] When in use, turn to open the dust cover, insert the key into the keyhole of the lock cylinder assembly, turn the key, the key will drive the lock head at the bottom of the lock cylinder assembly to rotate, the lock head pushes one end of the lock hook spring, the handle pops out of the base through the action of the torsion spring and the second spring at the bottom of the pin, and turning the handle will drive the steel bolt assembly at the bottom of the base to rotate through the rotating shaft to unlock or lock.

[0026] Based on the above structural features, the above-mentioned actuator can also be a linkage assembly or a bolt linkage assembly. The protrusion or pin end of the above-mentioned pin is provided with a magnet. When the protrusion of the pin is engaged with the hook in the hook groove of the lock hook spring, the magnet corresponds to the Hall sensor in the lock housing, or the magnet passes through the through hole on one side of the base to correspond to the Hall sensor on the outer diameter of the base, thereby realizing the electronic lock method to determine whether the handle has popped out and then reset.

[0027] In summary, this flat handle lock, based on the torsion spring of existing products, adds an auxiliary handle ejection function at the end of the handle. This flat handle lock is particularly suitable for use in charging stations for new energy vehicles, meeting the requirement that the entire lock be concealed within the cabinet while the handle automatically ejects. Currently, there is no solution on the market that addresses both the need for concealed locks with only the handle exposed and the need to ensure stable handle ejection; this solution perfectly resolves these customer pain points.
