Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle parts technology, specifically to a mechanical and electric combined cable-operated seat lock structure. Background Technology
[0002] Motorcycles are used more and more frequently in daily production as a means of commuting and leisure. People have also put forward higher requirements for their use. More and more electronic products are being widely used in motorcycles, which greatly improves the practicality and entertainment value of motorcycle products. At present, the common motorcycle seat cable structure is often a mechanical structure. By using the cable to transmit displacement, the mechanical structure opens and closes, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the seat.
[0003] Existing seat lock cable structures are often mechanical, with the opening mechanism typically located at the ignition switch and operated using a mechanical key, or with an opening lever mechanism inside the plastic parts. Since this requires turning a mechanical key or opening related plastic parts, it is inconvenient. Therefore, we propose a mechanical-electric combined cable opening seat lock structure.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mechanical and electric combined cable-operated seat lock structure, including a frame 1 and a helmet box 2. The helmet box 2 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the frame 1 by bolts. A mounting plate 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom left side of the helmet box 2. Several bolts 14 are passed through the mounting plate 13. A locking plate 15 is fixedly installed on the right side of the mounting plate 13 by several bolts 14. A slot 16 is opened on the top of the locking plate 15. The front and rear parts of the right side of the locking plate 15 are... Lock block 2 18 and lock block 17 are rotatably installed respectively. Cable sheath 1 4 and cable sheath 2 6 are fixedly installed on the front side of lock plate 15. Cable sheath 1 4 and cable sheath 2 6 are respectively threaded through the inside of cable sheath 1 4 and cable sheath 2 6. The ends of cable sheath 1 21 and cable sheath 2 22 near lock plate 15 are fixedly connected to lock block 2 18. The other ends of cable sheath 1 21 and cable sheath 2 22 are respectively installed with mechanical unlocking component and electric unlocking component.
[0016] When using this mechanical-electric combined cable-operated seat lock structure, the helmet box 2 is installed on the top left side of the frame 1. The locking plate 15 is fixed to the bottom of the helmet box 2 by the mounting plate 13. Locking blocks 17 and 18 on the locking plate 15 are locked by rotation. The slot 16 is used to cooperate with the seat lock tongue. One end of the cable wire 121 and 22 is fixed to the locking block 18 and passes through the cable sheath 4 and 6 respectively. The other end is connected to the mechanical unlocking component and the electric unlocking component. When unlocking is required, the cable wire 121 or cable wire 22 is pulled by the mechanical or electric components, which drives the locking block 18 to rotate, causing the seat lock tongue to separate from the locking block 17 and disengage from the slot 16, thus unlocking the seat. When locking, the locking block 18 resets and the seat lock tongue is reinserted into the slot 16 to complete the locking.
[0017] The mechanical unlocking assembly includes a cable bracket 5, which is fixedly installed on the bottom right side of the frame 1 by bolts, and the other end of the cable sheath 4 is fixedly installed on the cable bracket 5.
[0018] The mechanical unlocking assembly includes a cable bracket 5, which is fixed to the bottom right side of the frame 1 by bolts. The end of the cable sheath 4 is fixed to this bracket. When the cable wire 21 is manually pulled, the wire drives the locking block 18 to rotate around the lock plate 15, causing it to disengage from the locking block 17 and the slot 16, thus achieving mechanical unlocking. When locking, the locking block 18 is reset and closed with the locking block 17 under the tension of the tension spring 20.
[0019] The electric unlocking assembly includes a solenoid valve 3, which is located at the bottom left side of the helmet box 2. A pull rod 7 is installed at the output end of the solenoid valve 3, and a connector 8 is snapped onto the other end of the pull rod 7. A cable bracket 10 is installed at the bottom left side of the helmet box 2 by bolts. The other end of the cable sheath 6 is fixedly installed on the cable bracket 10. A tension spring 9 is connected between the other end of the cable wire 22 and the connector 8.
[0020] The electric unlocking assembly is fixed to the bottom left side of the helmet box 2 via the solenoid valve 3. When the pull rod 7 at its output end moves inward, it drives the snap-fit connector 8 to pull the tension spring 9. The tension spring 9 pulls the cable wire 22, which transmits tension through the cable sheath 6, driving the lock block 18 to rotate to unlock. After power is cut off, the tension spring 9 rebounds and pulls the connector 8, causing the pull rod 7 to reset. The cable bracket 10 then fixes the end of the cable sheath 6 to ensure the stability of the cable movement trajectory.
[0021] A solenoid valve connector 12 is installed at the bottom of the solenoid valve 3. The solenoid valve connector 12 is installed at the bottom of the solenoid valve 3 and is used to connect to an external power supply or control signal to provide a circuit connection for the solenoid valve 3 to turn on and off, and to control the opening and closing of the electric unlocking component.
[0022] Several bolts 11 are threaded through the solenoid valve 3, and the solenoid valve 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the helmet box 2 by the bolts 11, which facilitates the installation of the solenoid valve 3.
[0023] Both the bottom of the second locking block 18 and the first locking block 17 have through slots 19. A tension spring 20 connects the two sets of slots 19. The slots 19 at the bottom of the first locking block 17 and the second locking block 18 are connected by the tension spring 20. The tension spring 20 continuously applies tension to keep the two locking blocks in a locked state (locked). When the second locking block 18 is pulled, the tension spring 20 is stretched. After unlocking, the tension spring 20 drives the first locking block 17 and the second locking block 18 to reset and close.
[0024] Working principle: When using this mechanical-electric combined cable-operated seat lock structure, the helmet box 2 is installed on the top left side of the frame 1. The locking plate 15 is fixed to the bottom of the helmet box 2 by the mounting plate 13. Locking blocks 17 and 18 on the locking plate 15 are locked by rotation. The slot 16 is used to cooperate with the seat lock tongue. One end of the cable wire 21 and 22 is fixed to the locking block 18, and they pass through the cable sheath 4 and 6 respectively. When the seat is unlocked, the cable wire 21 can be manually pulled, which will drive the locking block 18 to rotate. The rotation of the locking plate 15 can also provide a circuit connection for the solenoid valve 3 to be powered on or off through the solenoid valve connector 12, thereby causing the pull rod 7 at the output end of the solenoid valve 3 to move inward, driving the snap-fit connector 8 to pull the tension spring 9. The tension spring 9 pulls the cable wire 22, and the cable wire 22 transmits the tension through the cable sheath 6, driving the locking block 18 to rotate, thereby separating the seat lock tongue from the locking block 17 and disengaging it from the slot 16, realizing the mechanical or electric unlocking of the seat. When locking, the locking block 18 resets and the seat lock tongue re-inserts into the slot 16 to complete the locking.
