Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of locking mechanism technology, specifically relating to a machine cover door lock limiting and guiding locking structure. Background Technology
[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] With the rapid development of the construction machinery industry, excavators, as important construction equipment, are widely used in various engineering projects. During the operation and movement of excavators, the continuous vibration of the vehicle body under complex working conditions causes high-frequency vibration of various vehicle body components.
[0004] Prolonged exposure to such vibrations will gradually degrade the hinge fit of vehicle body door components. As a crucial component connecting the door to the vehicle body, a decrease in hinge precision not only leads to incomplete door closure and gaps, affecting sealing and sound insulation, but may also cause abnormal noises during operation, interfering with operator work. Simultaneously, door panels are prone to fatigue due to vibration, resulting in damage and deformation. Door deformation or loose hinges directly affect the normal opening and closing / locking functions of the doors, preventing reliable closure and locking, posing safety hazards. For example, the door may accidentally open while the equipment is in motion, endangering operator safety. Furthermore, frequent door problems increase maintenance frequency, raise equipment maintenance costs, and reduce equipment efficiency and economic benefits.
[0005] Currently, there are relatively limited solutions for problems caused by vibration in excavator body doors. Most designs cannot simultaneously meet the dual requirements of addressing the impact of door deformation or loose hinges on the opening and closing status, as well as extending the service life of door-related components. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a door lock limiting and guiding locking structure, which solves the problem that door deformation or loose hinges directly affect the normal opening and closing locking function of the door, making it impossible for the door to close and lock reliably.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0008] This utility model provides a machine cover door lock limiting and guiding locking structure, including: a door lock bracket mounted on the machine cover, a mounting bracket on one side of the door lock bracket, a guide plate mounted on the mounting bracket, the guide plate being L-shaped, one end of the guide plate being connected to the mounting bracket, and the other end being provided with a guide groove, the opening of the guide groove being V-shaped; the guide groove is used to cooperate with a fixing pin mounted on the frame to achieve guiding and limiting, and the fixing pin is connected and fixed to the frame through a fixing plate.
[0009] As a further implementation, the mounting bracket is a bent plate, one plane of which is fixedly connected to the door lock bracket, and the other plane is provided with fasteners and positioning pins.
[0010] As a further implementation, the end of the guide plate connected to the mounting bracket is provided with two first waist holes. One first waist hole is used to install the fastener to connect the guide plate to the mounting bracket, and the other first waist hole is used to position the guide plate to prevent the guide plate from rotating.
[0011] As a further implementation, the door lock bracket is a U-shaped steel plate, and mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the door lock bracket for mounting the door lock body and the cover.
[0012] As a further implementation, the door lock bracket and the mounting bracket are connected by welding or are made by stamping.
[0013] As a further implementation, the fixing pin is fixedly connected to the fixing plate by fasteners. The fixing pin is L-shaped or U-shaped and is made of a solid steel bar bent into shape.
[0014] As a further implementation, the fixing plate is provided with a second waist hole, the fixing pin is installed in the second waist hole, and is clamped and fixed by fasteners.
[0015] As a further implementation, the frame is also provided with a latch mounting base, which consists of a fixing block and a U-shaped plate. The U-shaped plate is mounted on the frame by the fixing block, and a latch is also provided on the U-shaped plate. The latch is fixed to the U-shaped plate by fasteners.
[0016] As a further implementation, the door lock body is provided with a lock hook, which engages with the lock buckle to lock the cover.
[0017] As a further implementation, the latch is L-shaped or U-shaped and is made of a solid steel bar bent into shape.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0019] The guide plate of this utility model is L-shaped, with one end connected to the mounting bracket and the other end having a guide groove. The opening of the guide groove is V-shaped, used to cooperate with the fixing pin set on the frame to achieve guiding and limiting. The fixing pin is connected and fixed to the frame through a fixing plate. The guide groove provides precise guidance for the installation and movement of the door lock bracket, effectively preventing the door lock end from sagging. Furthermore, for door lock structures that have failed, it guides the relative position closure of the latch and hook, achieving a normal opening and closing state, thus improving the stability and reliability of the entire locking structure. The V-shaped structure of the guide groove opening reduces the locking difficulty of the hood door lock, avoiding repeated fastening of the hood and causing misalignment and collision between the hood door lock and the frame, ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the guiding and limiting function, and extending the service life of the locking structure.
[0020] The mounting bracket of this utility model is a bent plate, with one plane fixedly connected to the door lock bracket 1, and the other plane provided with a connector and a positioning pin. The bent plate mounting bracket has a simple structure and low processing cost, while effectively connecting the door lock bracket and the guide plate into a whole. The fasteners and positioning pins not only ensure reliable installation of the guide plate but also allow for quick adaptive adjustments during installation for different vehicle hoods. Two first waist holes are provided at the end of the guide plate connected to the mounting bracket. One first waist hole is used to install the fastener, connecting the guide plate to the mounting bracket, while the other first waist hole is used to position the guide plate and prevent rotation. The design of the first waist holes provides flexibility for the installation of the guide plate; by adjusting the position of the fasteners in the waist holes, the installation position of the guide plate can be fine-tuned to adapt to different hood models and installation precision requirements.
