Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, and more specifically, to a lock. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, smart lock designs have incorporated electronic control and automation functions to improve user convenience and security, but the way the lock cylinder cover is fixed still has shortcomings.

[0003] In existing technology, the lock cylinder cover is usually fixed to the lock panel by magnetic attraction. Although this method simplifies the opening and closing of the lock cylinder cover to some extent, in daily life, the lock is often subjected to vibrations when the door is closed or external impacts. Such vibrations or impacts can weaken the magnetic attraction or change the relative position between the lock cylinder cover and the panel, resulting in the lock cylinder cover falling off unexpectedly. This not only affects the normal use of the lock, but also reduces the security of the lock. Utility Model Content

[0009] In one exemplary embodiment, the base has an interconnected mounting recess and a through hole, and the locking structure further includes a locking body and a protrusion disposed on the locking body. A second mating part is disposed on the locking body, and the locking body and the second mating part are located within the mounting recess. The protrusion passes through the through hole for mating with the pushing part.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment, the locking assembly further includes: a second elastic structure disposed within the mounting recess, the second elastic structure being connected to the locking body; wherein, when the locking assembly is in an unlocked state, the second elastic structure is used to apply an elastic force to the locking body toward the second mating portion.

[0011] In one exemplary embodiment, the push plate has a fourth mounting hole, and the locking assembly further includes a fastener that passes through the fourth mounting hole and the base to connect the base and the push plate; wherein the first mounting hole is a first strip-shaped hole, the fourth mounting hole is a second strip-shaped hole, and the first and second strip-shaped holes extend in the same direction; when the button portion is located at a first position contacting a portion of the inner surface of the first strip-shaped hole, the fastener is located at a second position contacting a portion of the inner surface of the second strip-shaped hole, so that the locking assembly is in a locked state; when the button portion slides along the extension direction of the first strip-shaped hole to a third position contacting another portion of the inner surface of the first strip-shaped hole, the fastener is located at a fourth position contacting another portion of the inner surface of the second strip-shaped hole, so that the locking assembly is in an unlocked state.

[0012] In one exemplary embodiment, the pushing structure has a spherical or arcuate surface, which contacts the cover when the pushing structure is in the pushing state.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment, the first elastic structure is a first spring, and the pushing structure includes: a column, the first end of which forms a spherical surface or an arcuate surface, and the first spring is sleeved on the second end of the column; and a limiting part, which is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the column for limiting and stopping with the panel.

[0014] In one exemplary embodiment, the cover further includes: a cover body; a hook portion, wherein the first mating portion and the hook portion are spaced apart on the inner surface of the cover body body; wherein, after the hook portion is hooked onto the base, the first mating portion and the second mating portion are limited to stop or disengaged by rotating around the hook portion.

[0015] In an exemplary embodiment, the first mating part is a second protrusion with a first inclined guide surface; the second mating part is a third protrusion with a second inclined guide surface; wherein, when the cover flips around the hook part toward the panel, the first inclined guide surface contacts the second inclined guide surface to push the second inclined guide surface to move until the first mating part and the second mating part are stopped.

Thus, the locking assembly has a locked state where the second mating part is stopped by the first mating part, and an unlocked state where the second mating part is disengaged from the first mating part. When the locking assembly is in the locked state, the aforementioned engagement between the first and second mating parts ensures the stability of the cover in the locked state, preventing the cover from detaching from the panel and solving the problem in related technologies where the lock cylinder cover easily detaches from the panel, affecting the normal use and security of the lock. Simultaneously, when the locking assembly switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the pushing structure pushes the cover away from the panel, achieving an automatic opening action of the cover and ensuring that the cover is in the open state.

[0017] Compared with the magnetic connection between the cover and the panel in the prior art, the snap-fit ​​connection between the cover and the panel in this application not only improves the connection stability of the two, but also makes the disassembly and disassembly easier and simpler, reducing the difficulty of assembly and disassembly.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0038] In order to solve the problem that the lock cylinder cover is easy to fall off the panel in the related technology, which affects the normal use and security of the lock, this application provides a lock.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 15As shown, the lock includes a base 10, a panel 20, a cover 30, and a locking assembly. The base 10 has a first mounting hole 11, and the panel 20 is disposed on the outside of the base 10, having a second mounting hole 21. The cover 30 is detachably mounted on the second mounting hole 21 and includes a first mating portion 31. The locking assembly includes an operating structure 40, a locking structure 50, and a pushing structure 60. The locking structure 50 includes the second mating portion 51, and at least a portion of the operating structure 40 is movably inserted into the first mounting hole 11 to drive the locking structure 50 to move. The locking assembly has a locked state where the second mating portion 51 is stopped by the first mating portion 31, and an unlocked state where the second mating portion 51 is disengaged from the first mating portion 31. When the locking assembly switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the pushing structure 60 pushes the cover 30 toward the side away from the panel 20, thereby opening the cover 30.

[0040] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the locking component has a locked state where the second mating part 51 and the first mating part 31 are limited and stopped, and an unlocked state where the second mating part 51 and the first mating part 31 are disengaged. When the locking component is in the locked state, the above-mentioned engagement between the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 51 ensures the stability of the cover 30 in the locked state, preventing the cover 30 from detaching from the panel 20, thus solving the problem in related technologies where the lock cylinder cover easily falls off the panel, affecting the normal use and security of the lock. At the same time, when the locking component switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the cover is pushed towards the side away from the panel 20 by the push structure 60, realizing the automatic pop-up action of the cover 30, ensuring that the cover 30 is in the open state.

[0041] Compared with the magnetic connection between the cover and the panel in the prior art, the snap-fit ​​connection between the cover 30 and the panel 20 in this embodiment not only improves the connection stability between the two, but also makes the disassembly and assembly easier and simpler, reducing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the base 10 has a receiving recess 12, and the panel 20 has a third mounting hole 22. The receiving recess 12 communicates with the second mounting hole 21 through the third mounting hole 22. The push structure 60 is movably provided and has a pushing state and an energy-storing state. When the push structure 60 is in the pushing state, at least a portion of the push structure 60 extends into the second mounting hole 21 through the receiving recess 12 and the third mounting hole 22 to push the cover 30. When the push structure 60 is in the energy-storing state, the push structure 60 retracts into the receiving recess 12. In this way, the push structure 60 has a pushing state and an energy-storing state, and can directly act on the cover 30 by extending at least a portion into the second mounting hole 21 during unlocking, pushing it open. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the opening action of the cover 30, avoiding the disadvantages of unstable cover opening or the need for additional operation in traditional locks.

[0043] In this embodiment, the push structure 60 retracts into the receiving recess 12 when the cover 30 does not need to be pushed, and is in an energy storage state. This not only reduces friction and collision between components and extends the service life of the equipment, but also avoids direct damage to the push structure 60 from the external environment and improves the durability of the lock.

[0044] Specifically, when the locking component is in the locked state, the push structure 60 is in the energy storage state, and at this time the push structure 60 is housed in the receiving recess 12 without generating a push action; when the locking component is in the unlocked state, the push structure 60 switches from the energy storage state to the push state, at this time at least a part of the push structure 60 extends into the second mounting hole 21 through the receiving recess 12 and the third mounting hole 22 to push the cover 30 until the cover 30 is in the open state.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 11 As shown, the locking assembly also includes a first elastic structure 70, which is disposed within the receiving recess 12 and connected to the pushing structure 60. When the pushing structure 60 is in the pushing state, the first elastic structure 70 applies an elastic force to the pushing structure 60, causing it to move towards the cover 30. Thus, when the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the pushing structure 60, pushed by the first elastic structure 70, can push the cover 30 to the open state more quickly and forcefully, thereby improving the automatic opening performance of the lock and enhancing the user experience.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first elastic structure 70 is disposed in the receiving recess 12, which not only makes full use of the space inside the lock and reduces the overall size of the lock, but also protects the elastic structure from the influence of the external environment and extends its service life.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the base 10 has a receiving cavity communicating with the first mounting hole 11. The operating structure 40 includes a button structure 41 and a push plate 42. The button structure 41 includes a button body 411 and a button portion 412 connected to each other. The button portion 412 is movably inserted into the first mounting hole 11, and the button body 411 is located within the receiving cavity. The push plate 42 is connected to the button body 411 and has a pushing portion 421. The pushing portion 421 is used to push the locking structure 50 toward the side away from the first mating portion 31, so that the locking assembly is in the unlocked state. Thus, through the design of the button structure 41, the user only needs to press the button portion 412 to trigger the unlocking process of the lock. At the same time, the design of the push plate 42, through its pushing portion 421, directly pushes the locking structure 50, reducing indirect contact and friction between multiple components, lowering the risk of mechanical wear, and thus extending the service life of the lock.

[0048] In this embodiment, the linkage between the button structure 41 and the push plate 42 ensures that the locking structure 50 will not easily change its state under unauthorized operation, thereby improving the security of the lock and reducing the risk of illegal intrusion or misoperation. Simultaneously, the pushing part 421 of the push plate 42 directly acts on the locking structure 50, improving the reliability and stability of the unlocking action.

[0049] Specifically, the design of the button structure 41 allows the unlocking operation to act quickly and directly on the locking structure 50, reducing operation delay, improving the response speed of the lock, and enabling users to receive immediate feedback when unlocking, thereby enhancing the immediacy and efficiency of the lock.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 10 has an interconnected mounting recess 13 and a through hole 14. The locking structure 50 also includes a locking body 52 and a protrusion 53 disposed on the locking body 52. ​​A second mating part 51 is disposed on the locking body 52, and the locking body 52 and the second mating part 51 are located within the mounting recess 13. The protrusion 53 passes through the through hole 14 to engage with the pushing part 421. This design of the protrusion 53 engaging with the pushing part 421 allows the operating structure 40 to act directly and effectively on the locking structure 50 when triggered, thereby improving the efficiency of the lock's transition between unlocked and locked states and making the entire operation process smoother. Simultaneously, the above-mentioned design simplifies the structure of the locking structure 50, making it easier to manufacture and implement, and reducing the manufacturing cost and difficulty of the locking structure 50.

[0051] Specifically, when the user operates the button structure 41 to rise, the pushing part 421 of the push plate 42 pushes the protrusion 53 to rise, so that the locking body 52 and the second mating part 51 are driven to rise through the protrusion 53 until the second mating part 51 separates from the first mating part 31, so that the locking component is in the unlocked state. Afterwards, the push structure 60 pushes the cover 30 to move away from the panel 20, so that the cover 30 is in the open state.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 as well as Figure 11 As shown, the locking assembly also includes a second elastic structure 80, which is disposed within the mounting recess 13 and connected to the locking body 52. ​​When the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the second elastic structure 80 applies an elastic force to the locking body 52 towards the second mating part 51. Thus, when the locking assembly is in the unlocked state, the second elastic structure 80 applies an elastic force to the locking body 52 towards the second mating part 51, causing the locking body 52 and its second mating part 51 to quickly and automatically reset to the locked position, thereby avoiding the need for manual reset, simplifying the lock operation process, and improving user convenience.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second elastic structure 80 is located within the mounting recess 13, which not only saves space inside the lock but also protects the second elastic structure 80 from adverse effects of the external environment.

[0054] Specifically, when the locking component is in the locked state, the second elastic structure 80 is in the initial state, at which time the second elastic structure 80 abuts against the locking body 52, so that the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 51 are in a limited engagement. When the user pushes the button structure 41 upward, the button structure 41 pushes the push plate 42 upward, so that the push part 421 of the push plate 42 pushes the protrusion 53 of the locking body 52 upward, so as to separate the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 51. At this time, the locking component switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, and the push structure 60 pushes the cover 30 to move away from the panel 20 until the cover 30 is in the open state.

[0055] like Figure 4 and Figure 14As shown, the push plate 42 has a fourth mounting hole 422, and the locking assembly further includes a fastener 90, which passes through the fourth mounting hole 422 and the base 10 to connect the base 10 and the push plate 42. The first mounting hole 11 is a first strip-shaped hole, and the fourth mounting hole 422 is a second strip-shaped hole, with the first and second strip-shaped holes extending in the same direction. When the button portion 412 is in a first position contacting a portion of the inner surface of the first strip-shaped hole, the fastener 90 is in a second position contacting a portion of the inner surface of the second strip-shaped hole, thus locking the locking assembly. When the button portion 412 slides along the extension direction of the first strip-shaped hole to a third position contacting another portion of the inner surface of the first strip-shaped hole, the fastener 90 is in a fourth position contacting another portion of the inner surface of the second strip-shaped hole, thus unlocking the locking assembly. In this way, the first and second strip holes extend in the same direction, so that the sliding of the button part 412 can be directly and accurately converted into the state change of the locking component, that is, from the locked state to the unlocked state, and vice versa. This ensures that the linkage between the operating structure and the locking structure is more flexible and the operation is more intuitive.

[0056] In this embodiment, both the first and second strip-shaped holes extend along the height direction of the lock. Due to the shape and positional relationship between the first and second strip-shaped holes, the different contact points between the fastener 90 and the hole wall in different states ensure the accuracy of the locking component's state transition, avoiding operational failures or lock malfunctions caused by inaccurate positioning, and improving the reliability of the lock.

[0057] Specifically, the first position is located below the third position, and the second position is located above the fourth position. When the cover 30 is fastened to the panel 20, the locking assembly is in a locked state, at which time the button part 412 is in contact with the first position, and the fastener 90 is in contact with the second position. When it is necessary to open the cover 30, the button part 412 is pushed upward to slide along the extension direction of the first strip hole. When the button part 412 slides to contact the third position, the fastener 90 contacts the fourth position. At this time, the locking assembly switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, and the push structure 60 pushes the cover 30 to the open state.

[0058] Optionally, the first strip hole and / or the second strip hole are oblong holes.

[0059] In this embodiment, the pushing structure 60 has a spherical or arc-shaped surface, which contacts the cover 30 when the pushing structure 60 is in the pushing state. This contact between the spherical or arc-shaped surface and the cover ensures a smoother contact between the pushing structure 60 and the cover 30 during the pushing process, reducing jamming and noise caused by irregular contact surfaces, improving the smoothness of the pushing process, and avoiding noise generation. Simultaneously, the contact between the spherical or arc-shaped surface and the cover 30 reduces the force at the contact point, reducing potential localized damage caused by direct contact between the pushing structure 60 and the cover 30, protecting the appearance and functional integrity of the cover 30, and extending the service life of the lock.

[0060] In this embodiment, the jacking structure 60 has a spherical surface.

[0061] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the first elastic structure 70 is a first spring, and the pushing structure 60 includes a column 61 and a limiting part 62. The first end of the column 61 forms a spherical or arc-shaped surface, and the first spring is sleeved on the second end of the column 61. The limiting part 62 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the column 61 to limit and stop it against the panel 20. Thus, the first spring sleeved on the second end of the column 61 provides elastic restoring force to the pushing structure 60, ensuring that the cover 30 can quickly return to its original position after the lock is unlocked. Simultaneously, when subjected to external impact, the spring's buffering effect reduces direct damage to the internal structure, improving the durability of the lock.

[0062] In this embodiment, the limiting part 62 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the column 61 and cooperates with the limiting stop of the panel 20. It can limit the movement range of the pushing structure 60, avoid excessive pushing that could cause structural damage or the cover 30 to fall off, and ensure the stability and safety of the lock during use.

[0063] Optionally, the second elastic structure 80 is a second spring.

[0064] like Figure 12 As shown, the cover 30 also includes a cover body 32 and a hook-on portion 33. The first mating portion 31 and the hook-on portion 33 are spaced apart on the inner surface of the cover body 32. After the hook-on portion 33 is hooked onto the base 10, it can be rotated around the hook-on portion 33 to limit or disengage the first mating portion 31 from the second mating portion 51. Thus, during the assembly of the cover 30 and the panel 20, the operator first operates the hook-on portion 33 to hang on the base 10, then inserts the first mating portion 31 into the mounting recess 13 until the first mating portion 31 and the second mating portion 51 mutually limit and engage, thereby achieving the assembly of the cover 30 and the panel 20.

[0065] In this embodiment, the hook part 33 allows the cover 30 to be initially positioned by a simple hooking action when it is opened. Subsequently, the user can rotate the cover 30 around the hook part 33 to complete the engagement or disengagement of the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 51. The operation process is intuitive and convenient, improving the user experience.

[0066] like Figure 9 As shown, the first mating part 31 is a second protrusion with a first inclined guide surface 311; the second mating part 51 is a third protrusion with a second inclined guide surface 511. When the cover 30 flips around the hook part 33 toward the panel 20, the first inclined guide surface 311 contacts the second inclined guide surface 511 to push the second inclined guide surface 511 to move until the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 51 are stopped at a limit. Thus, the contact between the first inclined guide surface 311 and the second inclined guide surface 511, utilizing the guiding effect of the inclined surfaces, allows the cover 30 to smoothly and gradually engage with the second mating part 51 during the flipping process, avoiding impact and jamming, and improving the smoothness of the flipping process.

[0067] In this embodiment, the guiding effect of the inclined guide surface reduces the friction and collision between the cover 30 and the locking assembly when they are in direct contact, reduces the wear of mechanical parts, and helps to extend the service life of the lock.

[0068] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0069] The lock includes a base, a panel, a cover, and a locking assembly. The base has a first mounting hole. The panel is disposed on the outside of the base and has a second mounting hole. The cover is detachably mounted on the second mounting hole and includes a first mating part. The locking assembly includes an operating mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a pushing mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a second mating part. At least a portion of the operating mechanism is movably inserted into the first mounting hole to drive the locking mechanism. Thus, the locking assembly has a locked state where the second mating part is stopped by the first mating part, and an unlocked state where the second mating part is disengaged from the first mating part. When the locking assembly is in the locked state, the aforementioned engagement between the first and second mating parts ensures the stability of the cover in the locked state, preventing the cover from detaching from the panel and solving the problem in related technologies where the lock cylinder cover easily detaches from the panel, affecting the normal use and security of the lock. Simultaneously, when the locking assembly switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the pushing mechanism pushes the cover away from the panel, achieving an automatic pop-out action of the cover and ensuring that the cover is in the open state.

[0070] Compared with the magnetic connection between the cover and the panel in the prior art, the snap-fit ​​connection between the cover and the panel in this application not only improves the connection stability of the two, but also makes the disassembly and disassembly easier and simpler, reducing the difficulty of assembly and disassembly.

[0071] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
