[0032] In some embodiments, the transmission block 141 is connected to the lock cylinder 110 in a transmission manner. This structure ensures that the lock cylinder 110 can accurately trigger the position sensor 140 through the transmission block 141 during operation, thereby accurately controlling the first indicator light 210 to emit a corresponding signal, improving the working stability of the locking control device.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5This application embodiment also provides a sightseeing vehicle, including: a main body 500, a door 400 and a locking control device as described above; the display unit 200 and the control unit 300 are both located at the front end of the main body 500, and the door lock 100 and the door 400 are distributed on both sides of the main body 500; the door 400 is provided with a slot 410 that cooperates with the lock block 130.

[0034] In the installation process of the locking control device in this embodiment, firstly, doors 400 are installed on both sides of the sightseeing vehicle, and door locks 100 are installed in the slots 410. The door lock 100 includes a lock cylinder 110, a solenoid valve 120, a lock block 130, and a position sensor 140. The position sensor 140 is used to monitor whether the lock cylinder 110 locks the door 400, and the solenoid valve 120 is used to move the lock block 130 to fix the door 400. The solenoid valve 120 can move the lock block 130 in and out of the slot 410 to lock the door 400. Next, a display unit 200 is installed at the front of the sightseeing vehicle. The control unit 300 is connected to the power supply of the main body 500, such as a 12V DC power supply. One end of the solenoid valve 120 is connected to the first terminal of the power supply, and the other end of the solenoid valve 120 is connected to the second terminal of the power supply via a control switch 310. The control switch 310 and the second indicator light 320 are connected in series between the two terminals of the power supply. The first input terminal of the first indicator light 210 is connected to the first output terminal of the position sensor 140, the second input terminal of the first indicator light 210 is connected to the second output terminal of the position sensor 140, and the output terminal of the first indicator light 210 is connected to the second terminal of the power supply. In practical applications, the control switch 310 is located in the driver's position of the sightseeing vehicle so that the driver can control the solenoid valve 120 through the control switch 310. The first indicator light 210 and the second indicator light 320 are located at the front end of the main body 500 so that the driver and passengers can observe them.

[0035] In the use of the locking control device in this embodiment, when the sightseeing vehicle is parked, the driver disconnects the connection between the solenoid valve 120 and the second terminal of the power supply via the control switch 310. The solenoid valve 120 is de-energized, and the second indicator light 320 is turned off. At this time, the solenoid valve 120 is in its initial state, i.e., the locking block 130 is located near the lock cylinder 110. The locking block 130 moves outside the slot 410. At this time, the sightseeing vehicle is in a door-openable state, and passengers inside or outside the vehicle can open the door by turning the lock cylinder 110. After the sightseeing vehicle has finished picking up and dropping off passengers, the door 400 is closed and locked by the lock cylinder 110. The transmission block 141 triggers the position sensor 140 to make the first output terminal of the position sensor 140 conduct with the first terminal of the power supply, i.e., the first LED connected to the first input terminal of the first indicator light 210 is powered on. The first indicator light 210 illuminates red. When the driver sees all the first indicator lights 210 illuminate red, the control switch 310 connects the solenoid valve 120 to the second terminal of the power supply, energizing the solenoid valve 120 and activating the second indicator light 320. At this time, the solenoid valve 120 is in the activated state, meaning the locking block 130 is located away from the lock cylinder 110. The locking block 130 moves into the slot 410 to lock the door 400. At this time, the sightseeing vehicle is in a door-locked state, and passengers inside the vehicle cannot open the door by turning the lock cylinder 110, thus avoiding the safety hazard caused by the accidental opening of the door 400 during the operation of the sightseeing vehicle. At the same time, the driver can monitor the closing status of each door 400 by observing the first indicator light 210 and the second indicator light 320 to ensure driving safety.

[0036] This application provides a door locking control device and its sightseeing vehicle. By setting a door lock 100 and a control unit 300, the lock cylinder 110 can lock the vehicle door 400, and at the same time, the control switch 310 can control the solenoid valve 120 to move the lock block 130 to fix the vehicle door 400, thereby preventing the vehicle door 400 from being opened from the inside and improving the security of the door locking control device. By setting a display unit 200 and a second indicator light 320, the position sensor 140 can determine whether the lock cylinder 110 has locked the vehicle door 400 and display it intuitively through the first indicator light 210. When the control switch 310 is closed, it conducts electricity. The second indicator light 320 serves to remind the solenoid valve 120 that it is in working condition, ensuring that the user can intuitively grasp the locking status of the door 400 and improve the ease of use of the door locking control device. By setting the first and second LED beads, the first indicator light 210 can light up the corresponding LED bead according to the signal from the input end, thereby intuitively showing whether the lock cylinder 110 has locked the door 400, improving the observation convenience of the door locking control device. By setting the transmission block 141, the position sensor 140 can accurately obtain the working status of the lock cylinder 110, improving the security of the door locking control device.
