Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, and more specifically, it relates to an escape fireproof lock with an emergency unlocking function. Background Technology
[0002] Existing fire-resistant locks on the market, installed on fire doors, include a latch mechanism and a bolt mechanism, which lock the fire door simultaneously using both latches. Existing fire-resistant locks have the following drawbacks: 1. In an emergency, when the lock needs to be opened from inside the door, it is impossible to quickly open both the latch and bolt simultaneously, requiring multiple steps and a prolonged operation time; 2. In an emergency, it is impossible to open both the bolt and bolt simultaneously from outside the door (from the inside), thus reducing the chances of escape. Based on the above, this application proposes a fire-resistant lock that allows for keyless, rapid opening of both the latch and bolt simultaneously from inside the door, and in an emergency, it can also be opened simultaneously from outside the door (using a key). In special circumstances where the fire door requires a normally open function, the fire-resistant lock's latch and bolt have a preset normally open function, resulting in a fire-resistant escape lock with higher security performance and wider application scenarios, featuring both emergency unlocking and preset normally open functions.

A first inclined slide groove is provided, and a first sliding pin is slidably fitted within the first inclined slide groove. The first sliding pin is fixed to the swing plate. Vertical slide grooves three and four are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting plate. A push groove adapted to the drive push block is provided above the third vertical slide groove. A first sliding column extends into the third vertical slide groove for slidable fit, and a second sliding column extends into the fourth vertical slide groove for slidable fit. A second sliding pin is provided in the middle of the connecting plate. A torsion spring positioning part is also provided at the tail end of the connecting plate. The push plate is provided with a second inclined slide groove for the second sliding pin to pass through and for slidable fit, and a horizontal slide groove for the first fixed pin to pass through and for slidable fit.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the lock cylinder lever includes a lock cylinder hole, a lever, and a lever block located at the tail end of the lever; the tail end of the push plate is provided with a V-shaped groove for the lever block to slide through and engage.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the V-shaped groove is divided into a locking area, an unlocking area and a normally open area; when the toggle block moves into the locking area, the square tongue block is in a locked state that moves out of the lock housing; when the toggle block moves into the unlocking area, the square tongue block retracts into the lock housing.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the limiting device includes a limiting swing block that is rotatably fitted on the inner wall of the lock housing, the limiting swing block is provided with a locking end and an abutting end, when the lever moves to the normally open area of the push plate V-groove, the lever abuts against the locking end of the limiting swing block, the abutting end abuts against the tail end of the swing plate, and the square tongue and the oblique tongue retract into the lock housing at the same time.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. The door opens quickly with a double-tongue linkage from the inside. By optimizing the linkage structure of the oblique and square tongue mechanisms, the oblique and square tongues can be opened simultaneously and quickly from the inside without a key. Unlocking can be completed with a single operation (such as pressing the handle or knob), which greatly shortens the operation time in emergency situations and improves escape efficiency.
[0014] 2. The latch and square bolt are normally open. An independent control mechanism for both latches allows them to be in the normally open state simultaneously, or the square bolt to remain open without affecting the normal locking and unlocking of the latch. In scenarios requiring only normal locking (such as daily use), the square bolt can be in the unlocked position to avoid repeated operation; when deadbolting is needed, the square bolt can extend normally for locking; and when the door needs to be left unlocked, both the latch and square bolt retract into the lock housing simultaneously and are secured, expanding the lock's applicable scenarios.
[0015] 3. Emergency double-tongue simultaneous unlocking from the outside enhances escape safety. In emergency situations outside the door (such as fire rescue), the oblique and square tongues can be retracted simultaneously using a special tool (such as a fire key) to achieve rapid door opening and improve the success rate of escape and rescue.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 8 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0030] An escape fireproof lock with emergency unlocking function includes a lock case 1. The lock case 1 is provided with a square latch mechanism 3 and a slanted latch mechanism 2. The slanted latch mechanism 2 includes a slanted latch block 20, a pushing device 21 connected to the slanted latch block 20, and a torsion device 22 that drives the pushing device 21 to move back and forth. The square latch mechanism 3 is located above the slanted latch mechanism 2 and includes a square latch block 30, a push plate 31 connected to the square latch block 30, and a lock cylinder lever 32 that drives the push plate 31 to move back and forth. The lock cylinder lever 32 is provided with a limiting device 4 for restricting the square latch block 30 and the slanted latch block 20 from retracting into the lock body. A linkage mechanism 5 is provided between the slanted latch mechanism 2 and the square latch mechanism 3 for simultaneously controlling the movement of the slanted latch block 20 and the square latch block 30.
[0031] In Example 1, both the square latch mechanism 3 and the oblique latch mechanism 2 are simultaneously in a locked state (see attached instruction manual). Figure 1 and 2The working principle of unlocking the square latch mechanism 3 and the oblique latch mechanism 2 simultaneously inside the door: The square core component 220 inside the oblique latch mechanism 2 is equipped with a handle. By operating the handle, the square core structure and the rotating plate 221 are driven to rotate clockwise. The end of the rotating plate 221 abuts against the bottom wall of the slide 211, pushing the slide 211 and the push rod 210 to move towards the inside of the lock shell 1, thereby retracting the oblique latch into the lock shell 1. The swing plate 50 in the linkage mechanism 5 has its first end inserted into the slide block 211. When the slide block 211 moves toward the inside of the lock housing 1, it drives the swing plate 50 to rotate counterclockwise along the fixing pin 500. The swing plate 50 is provided with a sliding pin 501. The sliding pin 501 is forced to drive the drive plate 51 to move downward, so that the top wall of the vertical slide groove 510 abuts against the sliding column 513, and the top wall of the vertical slide groove 511 abuts against the sliding column 514. When the drive plate 51 moves downward, it drives the push block 512 to push against the linkage plate 52. The push groove 522 applies force, causing the connecting plate 52 to move downwards. The top wall of the vertical slide groove 3 520 abuts against the slide column 1 513, and the top wall of the vertical slide groove 4 521 abuts against the slide column 2 514. During the downward movement of the connecting plate 52, the sliding pin 2 523 is driven to move along the oblique slide groove 2 314 on the push plate 31, driving the push plate 31 to move towards the inside of the lock case 1, causing the square tongue block 30 to retract into the lock case 1, thereby achieving the function of simultaneously unlocking the oblique tongue mechanism 2 and the square tongue mechanism 3, and improving the success rate of escape and rescue.
[0032] Example 2: The square latch block 30 is normally open, without affecting the locking principle of the latch: A matching key is inserted into the lock cylinder hole 320. A turning operation drives the lever 321 to swing, moving the lever block 322 along the V-groove 310 on the push plate 31 from the locking area 311 to the unlocking area 312. The swinging of the lever 321 causes the push plate 31 to move towards the lock housing 1, retracting the square latch block 30 into the lock housing 1, thus unlocking the square latch. During the movement of the push plate 31, the cooperation of the sliding pin 523 and the oblique sliding groove 314 drives the connecting plate 52 downwards. When the square latch mechanism 3 is in the normally open state, the connecting plate 52 remains in the lower position. At this time, operating the latch mechanism 2 only moves the swing plate 50 and the drive plate 51 when opening or closing, forming an independent control mechanism and expanding the applicable scenarios of the lock.
[0033] Example 3: The oblique latch block 20 and the square latch block 30 are normally open. In an emergency (under special usage scenarios), it is necessary to simultaneously unlock the square latch mechanism 3 and the oblique latch mechanism 2 from the outside, and the lock needs to be in the normally open state. (Refer to the instruction manual for the working principle.) Figure 3 and 4): By matching the key in the lock cylinder hole 320 and turning it, the lever 321 is driven to swing. The lever 322 on the lever 321 moves along the V-shaped groove 310 on the push plate 31 from the locking area 311 to the unlocking area 312. Then, the turning operation continues, moving the lever 322 to the normally open area 313. By swinging the lever 321, the limiting swing block 40 is pushed to swing clockwise until the end corner of the lever 321 is locked in the slot 43 of the limiting swing block 40. At this time, the abutting end 42 on the limiting swing block 40 abuts against the end of the swing plate 50. The swing plate 50 will then rotate counterclockwise with the movement of the limiting swing block 40. The tail end of the swing plate 50 pushes the slide block 211 toward the lock case 1, which drives the push rod 210 to move. The push rod 210 drives the oblique tongue block 20 to retract into the lock case 1. At this time, the square tongue mechanism 3 and the oblique tongue mechanism 2 are simultaneously in the open state. The oblique tongue block 20 will not be subjected to the force of the return torsion spring 222, which will drive it out of the lock case 1 and lock it. This keeps the entire lock in the normally open state, eliminating the need to press the handle or turn the knob, thus achieving quick door opening and improving the success rate of escape and rescue.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
