[0072] 310 Locking Bar Detailed Implementation

[0073] While this invention has been illustrated and described with reference to specific embodiments, it should not be limited to the details shown. Rather, various modifications to these details may be made within the scope of equivalents of the claims without departing from the invention.

[0074] The descriptions of directions such as "front", "back", "up" and "down" in this article are for ease of understanding only. This utility model is not limited to these directions, but can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0075] Reference Figures 1A to 2 A latch assembly 1 according to a first embodiment of this application is described in general. The latch assembly 1 includes an operating component 100, at least one locking component 200, and at least one locking lever 310 for connecting the operating component 100 and the locking component 200. In use, the latch assembly 1 is mounted to a first object (not shown), such as a door panel. The user operates the locking component 200 via the locking lever 310 through the operating component 100, such that the locking component 200 (specifically the locking element 230 therein, which will be described in detail below) locks to or unlocks from a second object, such as a door frame.

[0076] In this embodiment, four locking components 200 are arranged longitudinally on both sides of the operating component 100. It should be understood that in other embodiments, more or fewer locking components 200 may be provided, and multiple locking components 200 may be located on the same side of the operating component 100.

[0077] In this embodiment, the number and size of the locking rods 310 can be adjusted according to the shape of the first object, and each locking rod 310 can be connected to one or more locking components 200.

[0078] The operating component 100 can be operated to drive the locking lever 310, which in turn drives the locking component 200, so that the locking components 200 on both sides can be locked to or unlocked from the second object respectively.

[0079] The operating component 100 is described in detail with reference to FIG3. The operating component 100 includes a housing 110, a handle 120, a gear 180, and a rack 185.

[0080] The housing 110 is mounted to the first object and serves to house other components of the operating assembly 100. The housing 110 is generally rectangular in shape extending longitudinally and opens vertically (i.e., in the thickness direction) at the top and bottom. A handle 120 is positioned vertically above the housing 110 and is rotatable relative to the housing 110 about a transverse axis. The handle 120 is configured to drive a gear 180 to rotate about the transverse axis; for example, the handle 120 is connected to the gear 180 via a transversely extending pin, such that the handle 120 and the gear 180 rotate together about the transverse axis.

[0081] Gear 180 meshes with rack 185, and locking lever 310 is connected to rack 185, for example, two locking levers 310 are respectively connected to the longitudinal ends of rack 185. Therefore, when handle 120 rotates around housing 110, gear 180 drives rack 185, causing rack 185 to move longitudinally, and rack 185 in turn drives locking lever 310 to move longitudinally.

[0082] In other embodiments, the handle 120 can be connected to the locking lever 310 by other known mechanical structures, such as cams, linkages, etc., as long as the handle 120 can drive the locking lever 310 to move longitudinally.

[0083] Reference Figures 3A to 4 The specific structure of the locking assembly 200 is described. The locking assembly 200 includes a guide 210, a drive 220, a locking member 230, a guide rod 240, a connecting rod 250, a first connecting rod 260, a second connecting rod 270, a sliding pin 281, a first connecting pin 282, and a second connecting pin 283.

[0084] Mounting member 290 is mounted to a first object, such as a door panel (not shown). In this embodiment, mounting member 290 has a plate portion 291 extending generally longitudinally and laterally. A drive member 220 and a locking member 230 are located on one vertical side of the plate portion 291, for example, referred to as the upper side, and a first link 260, a second link 270, and a locking lever 310 are located on the other side of the plate portion 291, for example, referred to as the lower side. Mounting member 290 forms a groove-shaped receiving space 292 on the side facing the locking lever 310 to receive the locking lever 310 and allow the locking lever 310 to slide longitudinally relative to mounting member 290.

[0085] The plate portion 291 of the mounting member 290 has at least one fixing hole 293, at least one mounting hole 295, a connecting hole 294, and an opening 296. A screw 284 passes through the corresponding fixing hole 293 and connects to the guide 210, allowing the guide 210 to be mounted to the mounting member 290. In this embodiment, two sets of fixing holes 293 are longitudinally distributed to mount two guides 210 to the mounting member 290. In other embodiments, the guide 210 and the mounting member 290 may be integrally formed. A second connecting pin 283 passes through the connecting hole 294 and connects to the first link 260, allowing the first link 260 to be pivotally connected to the mounting member 290, for example, rotatably connected to the mounting member 290 about a vertical axis. The mounting hole 295 is used to mount the mounting member 290 to a first object, and the position and shape of the mounting hole 295 can be changed according to the form of the first object. An opening 296 is located at the center of the plate portion 291 of the mounting member 290 so that the sliding pin 281 can pass through the mounting member 290. In this embodiment, the opening 296 is triangular, but this application is not limited to this, as long as the movement trajectory of the sliding pin 281 is not disturbed.

[0086] In this embodiment, two guides 210 are longitudinally opposed and respectively connected to the mounting member 290. Each guide 210 has a wall portion 211, a guide hole 212, a first guide groove 213, and a second guide groove 214. The wall portion 211 is a generally square block shape, extending laterally and rising vertically from the upper side of the mounting member 290. The guide hole 212 is located on the surface of the wall portion 211 facing the mounting member 290, and a screw 284 is connected to the guide hole 212 to mount the guide 210 to the mounting member 290. The first guide groove 213 is located away from the mounting member 290, extends longitudinally through the wall portion 211, and guides the movement of the locking member 230. The second guide groove 214 is a recess on the surface facing the mounting member 290, extends longitudinally through the wall portion 211, and guides the movement of the driving member 220, as will be described in detail below.

[0087] The locking member 230 includes a top wall 235, side walls 236, a locking end 231, a connecting end 232, a first locking hole 233, and a second locking hole 234. The top wall 235 is a plate extending laterally, with the locking end 231 and the connecting end 232 located at opposite ends of the top wall 235. The two side walls 236 extend longitudinally from both sides of the top wall 235 toward the mounting member 290, extending more towards the mounting member 290 near the locking end 231 and less near the locking end 231, thus forming a pointed tip at the locking end 231. Each side wall 236 has a first locking hole 233 and a second locking hole 234, with the second locking hole 234 closer to the connecting end 232 and the first locking hole 233 further away from the connecting end 232.

[0088] The locking element 230 is disposed between the two guides 210 and is capable of being in a locked position laterally relative to the mounting element 290 (see reference). Figures 5A to 5F ) and unlock location (see Figures 6A to 6F The locking member 230 in the locked position extends from the mounting member 290, while the locking member 230 in the unlocked position is at least partially retracted into the mounting member 290. That is, compared to the unlocked position, the locking end 231 in the locked position extends further outward in the first direction so as to be inserted into a second object such as a door frame to achieve the locking function.

[0089] A longitudinally extending guide rod 240 passes through two first locking holes 233 of the locking member 230, and both ends of the guide rod 240 are respectively inserted into the first guide grooves 213 of the two guide members 210, so that the locking member 230 is guided to move along the first guide grooves 213. In this embodiment, the first guide groove 213 includes a first segment 213a, a second segment 213b, and an inclined segment 213c. The first segment 213a extends laterally and is close to the locking position. The second segment 213b extends in a first direction and is further away from the locking position and further away from the mounting member 290 than the first segment 213a. The inclined segment 213c is inclined relative to the first direction and connects the first segment 213a and the second segment 213b. Therefore, when the locking member 230 is guided to move along the first guide groove 213, the locking end 231 will be closer to the mounting member 290 in the locking position and slightly away from the mounting member 290 in the unlocking position, or in other words, raised a certain distance from the mounting member 290.

[0090] The drive member 220 includes a bottom wall 221, a sliding hole 221a, at least one rising portion 222, and at least one protrusion 223. The bottom wall 221 is generally plate-shaped and conforms to the plate portion 291 of the mounting member 290. The rising portion 222 rises vertically from the bottom wall 221 and is connected to the locking member 230, specifically pivotally connected to the second locking hole 234 of the locking member 230 via a longitudinally extending connecting rod 250. The protrusion 223 extends longitudinally outward from the bottom wall 221 and inserts into the second guide groove 214 of the corresponding guide member 210, thereby restricting the drive member 220 to move in a first direction.

[0091] The sliding hole 221a extends longitudinally and penetrates the bottom wall 221. The sliding pin 281 passes through the sliding hole 221a and is connected to the first connecting rod 260, so that the driving member 220 can be driven by the first connecting rod 260 to move laterally (described in detail later). When the driving member 220 moves laterally, it drives the locking member 230 to move laterally, and since the two are pivotally connected by the connecting rod 250, the locking member 230 can rotate relative to the driving member 220.

[0092] Therefore, in this application, the guide 210 restricts the movement trajectory of the first locking hole 233 of the locking member 230 via the guide rod 240, and the drive 220 defines the movement trajectory of the second locking hole 234 via the connecting rod 250. The trajectory of the first locking hole 233 is approximately lateral and rises vertically in the unlocked position (i.e., slightly away from the mounting member 290), while the trajectory of the second locking hole 234 is lateral. In other words, the guide 210 and the drive 220 jointly guide the movement of the locking member 230, causing the locking end 231 of the locking member 230 to rise relative to the mounting member 290 in the unlocked position, so that the locking end 231 slightly moves away from the second object, thereby smoothly engaging or disengaging from the second object.

[0093] The first link 260 and the second link 270 are collectively referred to as a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is mounted to the mounting member 290 and connected to the locking member 230, and is configured to move the locking member 230 laterally in response to a longitudinal drive. Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission assembly moves the locking member 230 laterally via a drive member 220. The first link 260 has a first connecting end 261 and a first guiding end 262 opposite to each other. The first connecting end 261 is pivotally connected to the mounting member 290, specifically via a first connecting pin 282 pivotally connected to a connecting hole 294 in the plate portion 291 of the mounting member 290, such that the first guiding end 262 pivots around the mounting member 290. Therefore, the movement trajectory of the first guiding end 262 is an arc centered on the first connecting pin 282. The first guiding end 262 is pivotally connected to a sliding pin 281, which is inserted into a sliding hole 221a in the drive member 220. Since the sliding hole 221a extends longitudinally, the sliding pin 281 can move freely longitudinally within the sliding hole 221a. Therefore, the first link 260 does not drive the driving member 220 to move longitudinally, but only drives the driving member 220 to move laterally. Thus, the rotational motion of the first link 260 is converted into the lateral movement of the driving member 220.

[0094] The second link 270 is connected to the first link 260 and rotates the first link 260 in response to a drive in the second direction. Specifically, the second link 270 has a second connecting end 271 and a second guide end 272 opposite to each other. The second connecting end 271 is movable longitudinally relative to the mounting member 290. More specifically, the first connecting end 261 is pivotally connected to the locking lever 310 of the latch assembly 1 via a second connecting pin 283, such that the second connecting end 271 is driven by the locking lever 310 to move longitudinally, and the second guide end 272 is rotatable relative to the locking lever 310 about the second connecting pin 283. The second guide end 272 is pivotally connected to a sliding pin 281, such that the second guide end 272, the second guide end 272, and the sliding pin 281 move together.

[0095] Therefore, when the locking lever 310 is driven longitudinally by the operating component 100, it drives the second link 270 to rotate, which in turn drives the first link 260 to rotate. The first link 260 and the second link 270 together drive the driving member 220 to move laterally via the sliding pin 281. When the locking member 230 is in the locked position (see...), Figures 5A to 5F When the first link 260 and the second link 270 are tilted at opposite angles relative to the longitudinal direction, and the locking member 230 is in the unlocked position (see...), the first link 260 and the second link 270 are tilted at opposite angles relative to the longitudinal direction. Figures 6A to 6F When the first link 260 and the second link 270 are engaged, they both extend approximately longitudinally. Therefore, the longitudinal drive of the locking lever 310 is converted into the lateral movement of the driving member 220 and the locking member 230 through a simple and reliable mechanism.

[0096] It should be understood that the second link 270 can be connected to other types of drive components, such as a traction line, a spring, or a rod that moves in other directions (e.g., inclined relative to the longitudinal direction). The form of the drive component can be changed according to the usage environment and is not limited to the locking rod 310 of this embodiment. In addition, the transmission assembly of this application can also have a variety of different forms, such as a cam, a ramp, a gear, etc., as long as it can convert the longitudinal drive of the locking rod 310 into the lateral movement of the drive member 220 and the locking member 230.

[0097] Reference Figures 5A to 5F The latch assembly 1 in the locked position is described. In this state, the locking member 230 extends further from the mounting member 290 to engage with a second object (not shown), and the top wall 235 of the locking member 230 is substantially parallel to the plate portion 291 of the mounting member 290. The guide rod 240 is located in the first section 213a of the first guide groove 213. The first link 260 and the second link 270 form an angle with each other, such that the sliding pin 281 is close to the locking direction.

[0098] from Figures 5A to 5F Starting from the locked position shown, the second connecting end 271 of the second link 270 is moved longitudinally (i.e., along the direction shown) via the locking lever 310. Figures 5A to 5F (Move upwards in the middle), causing the locking component 200 to transition to Figures 6A to 6FThe unlocking position is shown. During this process, the second link 270 moves longitudinally and rotates simultaneously, causing the first link 260 to rotate, which in turn causes the sliding pin 281 to move laterally toward the unlocking direction. Therefore, the driving member 220 is driven by the sliding pin 281 to move toward the unlocking direction, which in turn drives the locking member 230 to move toward the unlocking direction, specifically, the connecting end 232 of the locking member 230 to move toward the unlocking direction. At the same time, the guide rod 240 moves through the inclined section 213c into the second section 213b of the first guide groove 213, causing the locking end 231 of the locking member 230 to be vertically lifted relative to the plate portion 291 of the mounting member 290. Therefore, the top wall 235 of the locking member 230 forms an angle with the plate portion 291 of the mounting member 290, for example, an angle between 45 degrees and 135 degrees.

[0099] Easy to understand, from Figures 6A to 6F Starting from the unlocked position shown, the second connecting end 271 of the second link 270 is moved longitudinally (i.e., along the direction indicated by the locking lever 310) via the locking lever 310. Figures 6A to 6F If the locking component 200 moves in the opposite direction (moving downwards), the components of the locking assembly 200 will move in the opposite direction, causing the locking element 230 to return to its original position. Figures 5A to 5F The lock position is shown.

[0100] While preferred embodiments have been shown and described herein, it should be understood that these embodiments are given by way of example only. Many variations, modifications, and substitutions will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of this invention.
