[0023] Example 1: As Figures 1-5 As shown, a glass door lock structure includes a door body 1, a lock cylinder 2, a panel 3, and a handle 4, as well as a connecting piece 5. The connecting piece 5 is designed for easy attachment and installation, accommodating various sizes of door bodies 1 or lock cylinders 2. The panel 3 has a limiting groove 6 for inserting the door body 1, which limits its position during installation. Since the glass door body 1 is relatively thin compared to other materials, this design meets the requirements. The limiting groove 6 can limit or mitigate vibration to a certain extent, and when the dimensions are precise, it can also significantly improve the stability of the panel 3. The door body 1 also has an installation groove and an inlet for inserting the lock cylinder 2. The installation groove penetrates the door body 1 to form an open slot. The installation groove is a general structural form, providing space for the installation of other components, but it is not limited to this form.

[0024] The connecting pieces 5 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the lock cylinder 2 and at the slot, and the lock cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting pieces 5. The handles 4 are respectively located on the outside of the connecting pieces 5. The handles 4 are clamped and fixed to the door body 1 by fasteners 7. The lock cylinder 2 and the panel 3 are blocked and limited in the direction of the slot. The connecting pieces 5 are also limited by the fixed connection of the handles 4. The handles 4, connecting pieces 5, lock cylinder 2 and panel 3 are parallel in the sequential connection direction. The lock cylinder 2 is equivalent to being located in the center of the mounting slot, with connecting pieces 5 and handles 4 stacked on both sides. The specific stacking is not necessarily in contact, but can just be the stacked arrangement order, which will not be elaborated on here. The blocking and engagement between the lock cylinder 2 and the panel 3 is, in this embodiment, the exposed part of the lock cylinder 2 extends to both sides to form blocking parts, which are embedded in the door body 1. This is a common technical means in the market. It should be noted that after the handle 4 is fixed, it pulls on the connecting piece 5, and the connecting piece 5 is fixed to the lock cylinder 2. The lock cylinder 2 and the panel 3 are also mutually restrained by mutual restraint. Therefore, the handle 4, lock cylinder 2, and panel 3 are tightly connected through the connecting piece 5, and are pulled and tightened in the parallel direction to prevent them from separating. Even with simple assembly, the components can maintain a stable and tight connection, thus improving service life through integration.

[0025] The handle 4 abuts against the panel 3. The handle 4 is fixed to the door body 1 and interacts with the panel 3 through the interaction caused by the connecting piece 5, which is beneficial to structural stability. Simultaneously, the lock cylinder 2, handle 4, and panel 3 are arranged in a triangular or pinion shape, resulting in stronger overall integration and a tighter connection. One end of the connecting piece 5 has a perpendicular connecting portion 9, with a fastening hole 8 at the connecting portion 9. The design of the connecting portion 9 changes the installation square shape, allowing the restricted direction of the fastener 7 after installation to match the design, i.e., the handle 4, lock cylinder 2, and panel 3 are parallel. The connecting piece 5 has an extension 10 at the right angle of the connecting portion 9, connecting to the fastening hole 8. The extension 10 is designed to strengthen the local structure and facilitate extending the depth of the fastening hole 8, which is beneficial for the stability and adjustment of the threaded connection.

[0026] The connecting piece 5 has a second fastening hole 11 for connecting the lock cylinder 2 and a mating hole 12 for connecting the handle 4. The design of the second fastening hole 11 can be adjusted according to the structural design of the lock cylinder 2. As the main connection point connecting the lock cylinder 2 and the connecting piece 5, its number and position are not limited here. In this embodiment, the mating hole 12 is relatively long and corresponds to the rotation axis of the lock cylinder 2 in the middle. The handles 4 are provided with threaded mating posts 13. The mating posts 13 are provided with threaded holes for fasteners 7 to connect. The mating posts 13 pass through the mating holes 12. It should be noted that the design of the mating holes 12 allows the mating posts 13 to pass through. The mating posts 13 are divided into two sections at the inner and outer handles 4. The handles 4 can be initially engaged by the mating posts 13, and then fastened externally using fasteners 7. This is not limited to this method.

[0027] The handle 4 is also provided with an opening 14 corresponding to the fastening hole 8. The handle 4 also contains a positioning part 15 that restricts the movement of the connecting part 9, forming a fixed-point locking position with the connecting part 9. This fixed-point locking design serves two purposes: firstly, it allows for the installation and positioning of the connecting piece 5, improving assembly convenience; secondly, it prevents the connecting part 9 of the connecting piece 5 from detaching, ensuring structural stability. The connecting piece 5 has a bent or curved transition part 16 near the connecting part 9. The transition part 16 is designed to enhance the structure's elastic recovery force, preventing premature reaching of the fatigue strength limit. When the transition part 16 is absent, the structure can also utilize its own bending recovery force to tilt and deform to meet installation and usage needs, adapting to glass of different thicknesses or other components.

[0028] The handle 4 includes a handle and a mounting base 17. The mounting base 17 has a protrusion 18 on its inner wall, forming a mounting slot with the protrusion 18. A mounting strip 19 is provided at the mounting slot. The protrusion 18 is designed to cooperate with the mounting base 17 to create space for the mounting strip 19. The mounting strip 19 enhances anti-slip properties and sealing, which is beneficial for internal moisture and dust prevention and minimizes slippage. Both the protrusion 18 and the mounting strip 19 are arranged evenly along the circumference of the mounting base 17 with small gaps, meeting design requirements. A closed, ring-shaped structure is not necessary; only anti-slip requirements need to be met. Further details are omitted here.

[0029] Example 2: Different from Example 1, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting piece 5 is connected to the tail of the lock cylinder 2, while the panel 3 and handle 4 remain largely unchanged. This structure can shorten the length of the connecting piece 5, which also meets the design requirements. In addition, the fixing point of the connecting piece 5 can be placed in the middle of the lock cylinder or near the head, or even in any workable or easily workable location, as needed. Further explanation and limitations will not be provided here.

[0030] Example 3: Unlike Examples 1 and 2, as follows Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting structure is provided at the tail of the lock cylinder 2, which engages with the connecting piece 5, but this is not the only option. Fasteners or other methods can also be used to reinforce the connection at this location, primarily because it is positioned at the tail or end of the lock cylinder. The connecting piece 5 is then connected to the handle using fasteners; further details and limitations will not be provided here.
