Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, specifically to a lock installation structure and a cabinet lock. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some cabinet locks use a one-piece manufacturing process to create the connecting lugs. These lugs are then fitted with through holes and bolts to the cabinet door for installation inside. The lock handle extends through a pre-drilled window in the door. Since the lock body is typically made of metal, this one-piece manufacturing method results in higher processing costs, hindering cost control. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lock installation structure and cabinet lock, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the lock installation structure and improve the design flexibility of the installation structure.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A lock mounting structure, comprising: Lock body; A handle is attached to the lock body; A connector for mounting the lock body onto an external component; the connector is separate from the lock body and is a bent metal plate component.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0016] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a lock mounting structure according to this embodiment includes: Lock body 1; Handle 2 is installed on lock body 1; Connector 3 is used to install lock body 1 onto external components. Connector 3 is separate from lock body 1 and is a bent metal plate component. A groove 31 is provided on the connector 3 at the position corresponding to the lock body 1, and the lock body 1 is accommodated in the groove 31; The connector 3 has extensions 32 on both sides, and each extension 32 has a connection hole 33. The connector 3 cooperates with the first fastener through the connection hole 33 to install the lock body 1 onto the external component.

[0017] In the above-described lock installation structure, the lock body 1 is the main structure of the lock, and the handle 2 is installed on the lock body 1 for the user to operate the lock opening and closing. The connector 3 is separate from the lock body 1, meaning that the connector 3 is manufactured independently of the lock body 1. The connector 3 is made of metal sheet into an integral component through a bending process. Compared with the integral casting or machining connecting ears in the prior art, the bending of metal sheet is less difficult, less wasteful of materials, and significantly reduces manufacturing costs. During assembly, the lock body 1 is first placed into the groove 31 of the connector 3. The shape of the groove 31 is adapted to the corresponding outer contour of the lock body 1, so that the lock body 1 can be reliably accommodated and positioned in the groove 31. Then, the extensions 32 on both sides of the connector 3 are attached to the mounting surface of the external component (e.g., cabinet door). The first fastener (e.g., bolt) is passed through the connecting hole 33 on the extension 32 and fastened to the external component, thereby fixing the entire lock installation structure to the external component. A window is provided at a corresponding position on the external component for the handle 2 to extend out, through which the handle 2 extends for user operation. Through the split design and the use of metal plate bending parts, the connector 3 is no longer limited by the material and processing technology of the lock body 1, and the manufacturing flexibility and cost control capabilities are greatly improved.

[0018] To improve installation stability, in some options, the extension 32 extends along the length of the lock body 1.

[0019] The extension 32 extends along the length of the lock body 1, increasing the contact area between the connector 3 and the external components. This makes the fit between the connector 3 and the external components tighter and more uniform, improving the overall stability and reliability during use.

[0020] To improve the positioning reliability of the lock body 1 in the groove 31, in a specific structure, the connector 3 is fixed to the lock body 1 by a second fastener 4, the position of the second fastener 4 corresponding to the position of the groove 31.

[0021] During assembly, the connector 3 can be fixed to the lock body 1 first, and then the connector 3 can be installed onto the external component. The second fastener 4 passes through the connector 3 and connects to the lock body 1, forming a fixed connection between the lock body 1 and the connector 3. The lock body 1 is positioned in the groove 31 and is also fixed in the groove 31 by the second fastener 4, preventing the lock body 1 from relative shaking or displacement in the groove 31 due to vibration or external force during use, further improving its robustness and reliability.

[0022] Furthermore, the position of the second fastener 4 corresponds to the bottom position of the groove 31.

[0023] The fastener passes through the connector 3 and lock body 1 from the bottom of the groove 31. This position makes installation more convenient and allows tools to be directly operated on the second fastener 4.

[0024] To further increase the contact area and the number of mounting holes, in one alternative, the extension 32 extends further away from the groove 31, such that the end of the extension 32 protrudes beyond the edge of the groove 31.

[0025] The extension 32 continues to extend along the length of the locking body 1 (i.e., away from the groove 31), and the end of the extension 32 extends beyond the edge of the groove 31, forming an extension area. This increases the contact area between the connector 3 and the external component, making the installation more stable. Simultaneously, additional connection holes 33 can be provided on the protruding extension area as needed, meeting the flexible requirements of different installation scenarios regarding the number and arrangement of fixing points.

[0026] To accommodate the deviations in the mounting hole positions of different external components, in one specific structure, the connecting hole 33 is an elongated hole.

[0027] Compared to circular holes, elongated holes offer a greater range of adjustment in the extension direction of extension 32. This improves installation flexibility and versatility, and reduces the requirements for installation precision. The elongated holes mentioned above do not include short, slotted holes.

[0028] To enhance the security of the installation, in some options, the extension 32 is provided with multiple connection holes 33.

[0029] Multiple connection holes 33 are machined on the extension 32, and each connection hole 33 can be used to fix the first fastener to the external component.

[0030] A cabinet lock is also provided, including the lock mounting structure as described in any one of the above descriptions.

[0031] Based on the above embodiments, the overall working principle and installation process of this lock installation structure and cabinet lock are as follows: The connector 3 is made of metal sheet through a bending process into an integral structural component, forming a groove 31, extensions 32 on both sides, and connecting holes 33 on the extensions 32. The lock body 1 and the handle 2 are pre-assembled as one unit, and then the lock body 1 is embedded into the groove 31 of the connector 3 for reception and positioning. According to actual needs, the connector 3 and the lock body 1 can be further fixed by the second fastener 4 at the bottom of the corresponding groove 31 to prevent the lock body 1 from shaking in the groove 31. The assembled lock body 1 and connector 3 are attached to the mounting surface of the external component, so that the extensions 32 are in close contact with the surface of the external component. The first fastener is passed through the connecting holes 33 on the extensions 32 and fastened to the external component, thereby fixing the entire lock installation structure to the external component. When multiple connecting holes 33 are provided on the extension 32, multiple first fasteners are used for multi-point fixation to enhance the firmness. When the connecting hole 33 is an elongated hole, the position of the first fastener in the elongated hole can be adjusted before locking to accommodate the installation hole deviation. The extension 32 extends along the length of the lock body 1 to increase the contact area, and the end of the extension 32 continues to extend and protrude beyond the edge of the groove 31 to further increase the available installation area. The handle 2 extends through the window reserved on the external component for the user to operate the lock opening and closing. Throughout the installation and use process, since the connector 3 is a metal plate bending part and is set separately from the lock body 1, the manufacturing and assembly costs are greatly reduced. At the same time, with a variety of optional optimized structures, it can meet the installation requirements of different application scenarios and effectively solve the problems of high cost and poor design flexibility caused by the integrated machining of the connector in the prior art.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
