[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 An automatic locking device shown includes a fixed housing 1 and a limiting housing 2, and further includes:

[0033] A sliding groove 3 is formed inside the limiting shell 2. A locking tongue 4 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 3. Several first springs 5 ​​fixed to the inner wall of the sliding groove 3 are fixedly installed at one end of the locking tongue 4. The fixed shell 1 is set on one side of the limiting shell 2. The other end of the locking tongue 4 extends into the fixed shell 1 and is inserted into the fixed shell 1. A rotating rod 6 is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove 3 and at the top of the locking tongue 4.

[0034] Lock cylinder 7 is fixedly installed on limiting shell 2. Limiting groove 8 is opened in limiting shell 2. Limiting plate 9 is slidably installed in limiting groove 8. Several second springs 10 fixed to the inner wall of limiting groove 8 are fixedly installed on one side of limiting plate 9.

[0035] The fixing component is located inside the limiting shell 2 and is used to fix the position of the rotating rod 6.

[0036] When the door is closed, the latch 4 contacts the fixed shell 1, the fixed shell 1 squeezes the latch 4 to slide, and at the same time, several first springs 5 ​​are squeezed and contracted. When the limiting shell 2 is moved to a suitable position, under the action of the rebound force of several first springs 5, the other end of the latch 4 is inserted into the fixed shell 1, so as to achieve the function of automatic locking.

[0037] When it is necessary to replace the bolt 4, the bolt 4 can be removed through the fixed component, and the new bolt 4 can be installed by reversing the above operation. The operation is simple and does not require tools.

[0038] When unlocking is required, pull the limiting plate 9 downwards. At the same time, several second springs 10 are compressed and contracted. Then, use the key to open the limiting shell 2 through the lock cylinder 7. After taking out the key, under the action of the rebound force of several second springs 10, the limiting plate 9 slides away from the second springs 10, which can seal the lock cylinder 7 and ensure that dust will not enter the lock cylinder 7 when it is not in use.

[0039] In this embodiment, the fixing component includes:

[0040] The power chamber 11 is located inside the limiting shell 2. A gear 12 is rotatably installed inside the power chamber 11. A fixing post 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the gear 12. A torsion spring 15 is sleeved on the fixing post 14. The two ends of the torsion spring 15 are fixedly connected to the gear 12 and the inside of the power chamber 11, respectively. A rack 16 is meshed on one side of the gear 12. A limiting strip 17 is fixedly installed at one end of the rack 16. One end of the limiting strip 17 extends into the rotating rod 6 and is inserted into the rotating rod 6.

[0041] When the latch 4 needs to be replaced, first rotate the rotating column 13. The rotating column 13 drives the gear 12 and the fixed column 14 to rotate. At the same time, the torsion spring 15 is twisted. The gear 12 drives the rack 16 that meshes with it to slide. The rack 16 drives the limiting strip 17 to slide. When the limiting strip 17 disengages from the rotating rod 6, the latch 4 can be taken out. Then, the new latch 4 can be installed by reversing the above operation. The operation is simple and does not require tools.

[0042] In this embodiment, a rotating column 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the gear 12, and the upper end of the rotating column 13 passes through the power cavity 11 and extends to the outside.

[0043] The rotating column 13 facilitates the rotation of the gear 12.

[0044] In this embodiment, the other end of the locking tongue 4 is arc-shaped.

[0045] In this process, the fixed shell 1 is ensured to compress the locking tongue 4 and allow it to slide.

[0046] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 9 is in close contact with the lock cylinder 7.

[0047] Among them, the lock cylinder 7 can be sealed to ensure that dust will not enter the lock cylinder 7 when it is not in use.

[0048] In this embodiment, several second springs 10 are distributed at equal intervals.

[0049] Among them, the limit plate 9 is guaranteed to slide stably.

[0050] In this embodiment, both the rack 16 and the limiting strip 17 are slidably connected to the power chamber 11.

[0051] This ensures that both the rack 16 and the limiting strip 17 can slide within the power chamber 11.

[0052] Working principle: When the door is closed, the latch 4 contacts the fixed shell 1, the fixed shell 1 squeezes the latch 4 to slide, and at the same time, several first springs 5 ​​are squeezed and contracted. When the limiting shell 2 is moved to the appropriate position, under the action of the rebound force of several first springs 5, the other end of the latch 4 is inserted into the fixed shell 1, so as to achieve the function of automatic locking.

[0053] When the latch 4 needs to be replaced, first rotate the rotating column 13. The rotating column 13 drives the gear 12 and the fixed column 14 to rotate. At the same time, the torsion spring 15 is twisted. The gear 12 drives the rack 16 that meshes with it to slide. The rack 16 drives the limiting strip 17 to slide. When the limiting strip 17 is disengaged from the rotating rod 6, the latch 4 can be taken out. Then, the new latch 4 can be installed by reversing the above operation. The operation is simple and does not require tools.

[0054] When unlocking is required, pull the limiting plate 9 downwards. At the same time, several second springs 10 are compressed and contracted. Then, use the key to open the limiting shell 2 through the lock cylinder 7. After taking out the key, under the action of the rebound force of several second springs 10, the limiting plate 9 slides away from the second springs 10, which can seal the lock cylinder 7 and ensure that dust will not enter the lock cylinder 7 when it is not in use.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
