Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-2 A silent latch structure for a door lock includes a main housing 1, a latch body 2, and a turntable 3. The latch body 2 is slidably connected to one side of the main housing 1. The edge of the main housing 1 is provided with multiple fastening holes to facilitate locking and fixing the main housing 1. The main housing 1 is provided with a through-hole corresponding to the latch body 2. Multiple rubber balls 11 are slidably connected in the through-hole. The edges of the rubber balls 11 contact the latch body 2 to reduce the friction between the latch body 2 and the inner wall of the through-hole.
[0021] In this embodiment, a slider 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the latch body 2. A groove corresponding to the slider 4 is provided on the inner wall of the main housing 1. A slide rod 5 is fixedly connected in the groove to support the slider 4. A through hole corresponding to the slide rod 5 is provided on the slider 4. A first spring 6 is sleeved on the slide rod 5. The two ends of the first spring 6 are fixedly connected to the slider 4 and the inner wall of the groove, respectively, to provide a certain elastic support for the slider 4. The outside of the latch body 2 is coated with a magnetic material. The elastic force of the first spring 6 is less than half of the magnetic force between the latch body 2 and the magnet 10, ensuring that the magnetic force between the magnet 10 and the latch body 2 is greater than the elastic force of the first spring 6.
[0022] In this embodiment, a plurality of buffer blocks 7 are fixedly connected to one end of the latch body 2 near the slider 4. A plurality of rubber pads 8 corresponding to the buffer blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main housing 1 near the opening, which play a buffering and shock-absorbing role for the latch body 2. The turntable 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main housing 1 through the rotating shaft 9. One end of the rotating shaft 9 passes through the inner wall of the main housing 1 and extends outward. A magnet 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable 3 near the latch body 2, which is used to drive the latch body 2 to retract. A limit block 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable 3 away from the magnet 10. A stop block 17 corresponding to the limit block 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main housing 1, which limits the rotation angle of the turntable 3.
[0023] In this embodiment, the inner bottom of the main housing 1 is provided with a guide groove, and a guide mechanism corresponding to the turntable 3 is fixedly connected in the guide groove to keep the magnet 10 away from the latch body 2. The guide mechanism includes a guide rod 12 and a guide block 13. The guide block 13 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 12. The guide block 13 is rotatably connected to the turntable 3 through the transmission rod 14. A second spring 15 is sleeved on the guide rod 12. The two ends of the second spring 15 are fixedly connected to the guide block 13 and the inner wall of the guide groove, respectively, to provide elastic support for the guide block 13.
[0024] In this embodiment, when the door is closed, the latch body 2 automatically extends out of the opening under the attraction of the magnet in the door lock groove, thereby locking the door. When it is necessary to open the door, the rotating shaft 9 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, causing the magnet 10 to rotate to the side close to the latch body 2. At this time, under the action of magnetic force, the magnet 10 drives the latch body 2 to disengage from the door lock groove. The setting of the first spring 6 can play an elastic traction role on the slider 4 and the latch body 2, so that the latch body 2 is in a retracted state. The guide mechanism can keep the magnet 10 on the turntable 3 away from the latch body 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, the magnetic latch structure and buffer structure effectively reduce noise generated during the extension and retraction of the latch, thereby improving the usability of the door lock.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
