[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention 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 invention 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 a 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.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel magnetic lock tongue locking structure, including a housing 1, a tongue assembly 2, a locking part 3, and a lock cylinder chuck. The tongue assembly 2, the locking part 3, and the lock cylinder chuck are disposed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 has a through hole 101, and the lock cylinder chuck is located inside the first through hole 101. The lock cylinder chuck is disposed inside the lock cylinder and can be rotated by a key or knob. The tongue assembly 2 is horizontally disposed inside the housing 1 and can extend and retract inside and outside the housing 1. When the door is open, the tongue assembly 2 is inside the housing 1. When the door is closed, the housing 1 contacts the tongue box, and the magnet inside the tongue box will... The latch assembly 2 is pulled out. The locking part 3 includes a sliding seat 31, a connecting rod part 32, and a locking block 33. The connecting rod part 32 is located on the upper part of the sliding seat 31, and the locking block 33 is located at the top of the connecting rod part 32. A groove 201 is provided on the upper side of the latch assembly 2, corresponding to the position of the locking block 33. When the lock cylinder pushes the locking part 3 up and down, the locking block 33 is locked into the groove 201 to restrict the movement of the latch assembly 2. When the door is closed, the locking block 33 is locked into the groove 201, thus keeping the latch assembly 2 inside the outer shell 1. This can prevent children from accidentally closing the door and causing safety hazards.

[0029] As an optional embodiment, the outer shell 1 is provided with a second through hole 102 and a first slot 103, and the sliding seat 31 is provided with a third through hole 310. A first spring and a ball bearing 34 are provided in the third through hole 310. When the sliding seat 31 moves upward, the first spring pushes the ball bearing 34 into the first slot 34. When the sliding seat 31 moves downward, the first spring pushes the ball bearing 34 into the second through hole 102. This structure allows the locking part 3 to be fixed in the second through hole 102 or the first slot 34. The second through hole 102 is located below the first slot 34. Thus, when the locking part 3 moves downward to the second through hole 102, the locking block 33 is engaged in the groove 201, keeping the locking tongue assembly 2 inside the outer shell 1.

[0030] As an optional embodiment, the outer shell 1 is provided with at least two second slots 104, and the locking part 3 is provided with a first protrusion 35 corresponding to the second slot 104. The first protrusion 35 is embedded in the second slot 104 so that the locking part 3 can slide vertically. This structure is simple, easy to install, and the sliding distance can be set according to the length of the second slot 104.

[0031] As an optional embodiment, the outer shell 1 is provided with a protrusion 105 in the inward direction. The protrusion 105 is generated by stamping the outer shell. The latch assembly 2 is provided with a third slot 202. A second spring is provided in the third slot 202. The protrusion 105 is embedded in the third slot 202. One end of the second spring supports the protrusion 105, and the other end of the second spring supports the end of the third slot 202. Under the push of the second spring, the latch assembly 2 is placed inside the outer shell 1. When the latch box is sucked in, the second spring will compress and extend out of the outer shell 1, fitting against the latch box, thus entering the closed state.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, an unlocking lever 4 is hinged inside the housing 1. One end of the unlocking lever 4 contacts the sliding seat 31, and the other end of the unlocking lever 4 contacts the bolt assembly 2. When the lock cylinder jack rotates and pushes the sliding seat 31 upward, the upward movement of the sliding seat 31 pushes one end of the unlocking lever 4 to rotate, and the other end of the unlocking lever 4 pushes the bolt assembly 2 to move inward, thus enabling unlocking using a key or knob.

[0033] like Figures 6 to 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the latch assembly 2 includes a front latch 21 and a rear latch 22, which are fastened together. One end of the front latch 21 is embedded in the rear latch 22. A first latch 210 and a second latch 220 are provided between the front latch 21 and the rear latch 22 for fastening connection. This makes disassembly more convenient, and front latches 21 of different shapes can be installed according to user needs, making it more versatile.

[0034] As an optional embodiment, the rear latch 22 is provided with a second protrusion 221, and the outer shell 1 is provided with a fourth slot 106. The second protrusion 221 is embedded in the fourth slot 106, and the latch assembly 2 is in a horizontal movement. The second protrusion 221 and the fourth slot 106 make the latch assembly 2 more accurate and stable.

[0035] As an optional embodiment, a magnet is provided inside the front latch 21, which is used to magnetically attract the latch box.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, the width of the first slot 103 is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. When the sliding seat 31 moves upward, the narrower top of the first slot 103 will cause the ball bearing 34 to press the first spring with greater pressure, and the downward return force will be greater, increasing the force of rotating the lock cylinder to release the pin.

[0037] In existing technologies, children may accidentally close the door, locking themselves inside. Parents need a key or to press the handle to open it, which can easily cause safety hazards. Therefore, a new type of magnetic lock tongue locking structure is provided. By using the lock cylinder to move the locking part 3, the locking part 3's locking block 33 engages in the groove 201, restricting the movement of the lock tongue assembly 2. When the door is closed, the locking block 33 is engaged in the groove 201, thus keeping the lock tongue assembly 2 inside the outer shell 1, which can prevent children from accidentally closing the door and causing safety hazards.

[0038] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model are equivalent substitutions and are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
