Detailed Implementation
[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] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a spring door lock for locking a reptile tank, including a door lock assembly 3 installed on one side of the reptile tank 1. The door lock assembly 3 is used to control the opening and closing of a glass door 2. The glass door 2 is rotatably installed on the front of the reptile tank 1. The door lock assembly 3 includes a lock box 31, a lock cover 32, and a lock tongue 33. The lock box 31 is installed on the front of the reptile tank 1 near the glass door 2. The lock cover 32 is installed on the front of the lock box 31, and a lock tongue 33 that can slide up and down is installed on the inner side of the lock box 31. The lock tongue 33 is used to control the opening and closing of the glass door 2. The door lock assembly 3 is composed of the lock box 31, the lock cover 32, and the lock tongue 33. The lock box 31 is installed on the front of the reptile tank 1 near the glass door 2, and the lock tongue 33 is slidably installed between the lock box 31 and the lock cover 32. By sliding the lock tongue 33, the vertical position of the lock tongue 33 can be adjusted, and the opening and closing of the glass door 2 can be controlled by the lock tongue 33. This structure is easy to install and will not damage the glass door 2, making it convenient to use.
[0025] The lock box 31 has a mounting groove 311 on the front side that mates with the lock tongue 33. The lock tongue 33 is slidably installed in the mounting groove 311. The lock tongue 33 can slide along the mounting groove 311 to adjust its position.
[0026] Two symmetrical spring limiting grooves 312 are formed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 311. Two symmetrical spring push blocks 331 are provided on the back of the latch 33. A spring limiting post 332 is provided on the lower surface of each spring push block 331. A spring 333 is sleeved on the outer side of the spring limiting post 332. The spring 333 is located within the spring limiting groove 312, and its bottom contacts the bottom of the spring limiting groove 312. Specifically, when the latch 33 is slidably installed between the lock cover 32 and the lock box 31, the spring push block 331 on the back of the latch 33 is located within the spring limiting groove 312, and the spring 333... The bottom contacts the bottom of the spring limiting groove 312. When the spring 333 is in a free state, the top height of the latch 33 is higher than the top height of the lock box 31 and the lock cover 32. The protruding latch 33 can block the glass door 2, thereby ensuring that the glass door 2 is in a closed state. When it is necessary to open the glass door 2, press the latch 33 down. The latch 33 will slide down along the mounting groove 311. At the same time, the latch 33 compresses the spring 333 through the spring push block 331, causing the spring 333 to contract, thereby allowing the latch 33 to disengage from the obstruction of the glass door 2, making it easier to open the glass door 2.
[0027] When the external force on the latch 33 disappears, the spring 333 returns to its original position and pushes the latch 33 back to its original position.
[0028] Among them, the lock box 31 is provided with a door lock fixing post 313 on one side. The door lock fixing post 313 cooperates with the slot on the reptile tank 1. The lock box 31 is installed on the reptile tank 1 by the cooperation of the door lock fixing post 313 and the slot. When assembling the reptile tank 1, the lock box 31 is directly installed on the reptile tank 1 by the cooperation of the door lock fixing post 313 and the slot.
[0029] The lock cover 32 has two symmetrical lock cover fixing posts 322 on its back, and the lock box 31 has two positioning grooves 314 on its front that cooperate with the lock cover fixing posts 322. The lock cover 32 is snapped onto the lock box 31 by the cooperation of the lock cover fixing posts 322 and the positioning grooves 314. The lock cover 32 can be snapped onto the lock box 31 by the cooperation of the lock cover fixing posts 322 and the positioning grooves 314, so that the lock tongue 33 is located between the lock cover 32 and the lock box 31.
[0030] The lock cover 32 has a latch limiting cavity 321 on its surface, and the latch 33 has a latch lever 334 that passes through the latch limiting cavity 321 on its surface. The latch lever 334 moves up and down within the range of the latch limiting cavity 321. When the glass door 2 needs to be opened, the latch 33 is pressed down by the latch lever 334, and then the latch 33 slides down along the mounting groove 311. At the same time, the latch 33 compresses the spring 333 through the spring push block 331, causing the spring 333 to contract, thereby allowing the latch 33 to disengage from the glass door 2 and making it easier to open the glass door 2. When the external force on the latch 33 disappears, the spring 333 rebounds and returns to its original position.
[0031] When it is necessary to close the glass door 2, first press the latch 33 downwards using the latch lever 334, then retract the latch 33 to between the lock cover 32 and the lock box 31, and then close the glass door 2. Next, remove the external force applied to the latch lever 334, and then the spring 333 returns to its original position. At the same time, the spring 333 pushes the latch 33 to slide upwards along the mounting groove 311, so that the latch 33 protrudes from the top of the lock cover 32 and the lock box 31, and blocks the glass door 2 through the protruding latch 33, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the door.
[0032] Working principle: In use, the lock box 31 is installed on the front of the reptile tank 1 near the glass door 2, and the lock tongue 33 is slidably installed between the lock box 31 and the lock cover 32. The spring push block 331 on the back of the lock tongue 33 is located in the spring limiting groove 312, and the bottom of the spring 333 is in contact with the bottom of the spring limiting groove 312. When the spring 333 is in a free state, the top height of the lock tongue 33 is higher than the top height of the lock box 31 and the lock cover 32. The protruding lock tongue 33 can block the glass door 2, thereby ensuring that the glass door 2 is in a closed state. When it is necessary to open the glass door 2, press the lock tongue 33 down. The lock tongue 33 will slide down along the mounting groove 311. At the same time, the lock tongue 33 compresses the spring 333 through the spring push block 331, causing the spring 333 to contract, thereby allowing the lock tongue 33 to release its obstruction of the glass door 2, making it easy to open the glass door 2.
[0033] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
