[0023] 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.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 A railway freight car locking torsion spring lock includes a first mounting plate 1 installed on the car body and a second mounting plate 2 installed on the car door. The second mounting plate 2 has a lock hole 3 on one side. Two support plates 4 are welded to one side of the first mounting plate 1. A rotating rod 5 is rotatably installed between the two support plates 4 through an interlocking bearing. One end of the rotating rod 5 can pass through the lock hole 3. A square block 6 is welded to the middle part of the rotating rod 5. Two locking plates 7 are welded to one end of the rotating rod 5. A knob 14 is welded to one end of the rotating rod 5. Turning the knob 14 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate, thereby rotating the locking plates 7 to a horizontal position so that the locking plates 7 can pass through the lock hole 3.

[0025] A first connecting rod 8 is fixedly inserted into one side of the support plate 4, and two second connecting rods 9 are fixedly inserted into the rotating rod 5. Two torsion springs 10 are sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 5. The two ends of the torsion springs 10 are respectively connected to the first connecting rod 8 and the second connecting rod 9. Under the action of the torsion springs 10, the rotating rod 5 rotates and resets, thereby driving the locking plate 7 to rotate, and then rotating the locking plate 7 to a vertical position, thereby locking the car door.

[0026] The top of the block 6 is provided with a limiting component 11, which includes a fixed shell 1101. The fixed shell 1101 is fixed to one side of the first mounting plate 1 by bolts. A first limiting seat 1102 is slidably connected inside the fixed shell 1101. The bottom of the first limiting seat 1102 is engaged with the block 6. A slider 1105 is welded to one side of the first limiting seat 1102. A sliding groove is provided on one side of the fixed shell 1101. The slider 1105 slides in the sliding groove. Lifting the slider 1105 upward causes the first limiting seat 1102 to move upward, thereby disengaging the first limiting seat 1102 from the block 6.

[0027] A vertical rod 1103 is welded to the top inner wall of the fixed housing 1101. A tension spring 1104 is sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical rod 1103. One end of the tension spring 1104 contacts the top inner wall of the fixed housing 1101, and the other end of the tension spring 1104 contacts the top of the first limiting seat 1102. Under the elastic force of the tension spring 1104, the first limiting seat 1102 locks the column block 6, thereby keeping the lock plate 7 in a vertical position, and further locking the door.

[0028] The outer sides of the two support plates 4 are fixed with fixing covers 12 by bolts. The fixing covers 12 cover the outside of the torsion spring 10, thereby protecting the torsion spring 10.

[0029] A protective cover 13 is fixed to one side of the second mounting plate 2 by bolts. The protective cover 13 covers the outside of the lock hole 3, thereby protecting the lock plate 7.

[0030] The outer wall of the knob 14 is provided with anti-slip grooves to facilitate the operation of the knob 14. A second limiting seat 16 is welded to one side of the first mounting plate 1. The second limiting seat 16 is located at one end of the fixed cover 12. A fixing block 15 is welded to the top of the rotating rod 5. The fixing block 15 can contact the second limiting seat 16 to limit the rotation of the rotating rod 5.

[0031] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, firstly, lift the slider 1105 upward to move the first limiting seat 1102 upward, thereby disengaging the first limiting seat 1102 from the block 6 and compressing the tension spring 1104. At this time, without releasing the slider 1105, turn the knob 14 clockwise to rotate the rotating rod 5, thereby rotating the locking plate 7 to a horizontal position, while simultaneously causing the torsion spring 10 to contract. Then, release the slider 1105, and under the elastic force of the tension spring 1104, the first limiting seat 1102 resets to the locking block 6, thereby maintaining the locking plate 7 in a horizontal position.

[0032] Next, the car door is closed, causing the second mounting plate 2 to rotate until the lock plate 7 passes through the lock hole 3. Then, the slider 1105 is lifted upwards, causing the first limiting seat 1102 to move upwards, thereby releasing the first limiting seat 1102 from the locking state of the block 6. At the same time, under the action of the torsion spring 10, the rotating rod 5 rotates to reset, thereby causing the lock plate 7 to rotate and then rotate the lock plate 7 to a vertical position, thereby locking the car door. Then, the slider 1105 is released, and under the elastic force of the tension spring 1104, the first limiting seat 1102 resets the locking block 6, thereby keeping the lock plate 7 in a vertical position, and further locking the car door.

[0033] 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.
