Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock cylinder assembly technology, and in particular to a lock cylinder assembly that is easy to assemble. Background Technology

[0002] As an infrastructure for protecting personal and property safety, locks have played a vital role in human society since ancient times. Their core working principle generally relies on a retractable bolt structure. Through specific mechanical or electronic drive methods, the bolt's extension and retraction relative to the lock body are controlled. When the bolt extends and inserts into the door frame's strike plate, the door is firmly locked and cannot be opened. Conversely, when the bolt retracts from the strike plate, the lock's constraint is released, and the door can be opened freely. With the development of technology, locks have gradually evolved from traditional purely mechanical structures into intelligent systems that integrate electronic, sensing, and communication technologies.

[0003] Existing locks generally include a mounting base, a latch assembly, a drive unit, and a lock cylinder assembly. Rotating the lock cylinder assembly causes an operating element to move the latch assembly to a locked or unlocked position. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN112081464B discloses "a lock" that controls at least part of the drive unit's movement via an electrical signal to move the latch assembly to a locked or unlocked position. The lock cylinder assembly is rotatably connected to the mounting base and has an operating element that, when rotated, causes the operating element to move the latch assembly to a locked or unlocked position. The lock cylinder assembly has an energized position for conducting the vehicle's electrical circuit and an de-energized position for de-energizing the vehicle's electrical circuit, so that rotating the lock cylinder assembly controls the on / off state of the vehicle's electrical circuit.

[0004] However, in actual use, the lock cylinder assembly is assembled and is prone to deviating from the installation position, increasing the difficulty of assembly, and may also cause misalignment between the installed lock cylinder and the through hole on the decorative panel, resulting in difficulty in inserting the key. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the lock cylinder assembly being easily misaligned during assembly, resulting in misalignment between the installed lock cylinder and the through hole on the decorative panel, causing the key to be difficult to insert. Therefore, this utility model proposes a lock cylinder assembly that is easy to assemble.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a lock cylinder assembly that is easy to assemble, including a lock cylinder unit and a mounting base. The lock cylinder unit is provided with a transmission part, and the mounting base is provided with mounting positions that cooperate with the lock cylinder unit and the transmission part. Decorative plates are provided on both sides of the mounting base.

[0008] A limiting component is provided between the decorative panel near the lock cylinder unit and the lock cylinder unit, and the limiting component is provided with a fixing structure that cooperates with the lock cylinder unit.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a limiting frame that is inserted into the lock cylinder unit, and the decorative panel has a through hole that cooperates with the lock cylinder unit.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes two limiting blocks, and the lock cylinder unit is fixedly provided with positioning blocks that cooperate with the two limiting blocks.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes a fixing plate connected to the two limiting blocks. One end of the fixing plate is rotatably connected to one limiting block via a connecting assembly, and the other end of the fixing plate is snapped into the other limiting block via a snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a connecting hole formed on the limiting block, a spring installed in the connecting hole, one end of the spring being fixedly connected to the connecting block, and a movable part rotatably disposed on the connecting block, the movable part being fixedly connected to the fixed plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the buckle assembly includes an elastic part fixedly disposed on the limiting block, a wedge-shaped block fixedly disposed on the elastic part, and a buckle interface that cooperates with the wedge-shaped block and the elastic part on the fixing plate.

[0014] The lock cylinder assembly proposed in this utility model is easy to assemble, and its advantages are as follows:

[0015] In this utility model, by setting a limiting component to cooperate with the lock cylinder unit, the position of the lock cylinder unit is positioned, and the lock cylinder unit is fixed by a fixing structure to prevent misalignment between the lock cylinder unit and the limiting component during assembly;

[0016] Secondly, in this utility model, before combining the decorative panel with the lock cylinder unit, the fixing plate is moved to separate it from the fixing structure, and then the fixing plate is rotated to expose the gap between the two limiting blocks, making it convenient to insert the positioning block of the lock cylinder unit into the gap.

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] Reference Figure 1-5 A lock cylinder assembly that is easy to assemble includes a lock cylinder unit 1 and a mounting base 2. The lock cylinder unit 1 is provided with a transmission part 3. The mounting base 2 is provided with a mounting position 5 that cooperates with the lock cylinder unit 1 and the transmission part 3. Decorative plates 6 are provided on both sides of the mounting base 2.

[0025] Among them, a limiting component 7 is provided between the decorative panel 6 near the lock cylinder unit 1 and the lock cylinder unit 1, and a fixing structure 8 that cooperates with the lock cylinder unit 1 is provided on the limiting component 7.

[0026] In this utility model, by setting a limiting component 7 to cooperate with the lock cylinder unit 1, the position of the lock cylinder unit 1 is positioned, and the lock cylinder unit 1 is fixed by a fixing structure 8 to prevent the lock cylinder unit 1 from being misaligned with the limiting component 7 during assembly, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty and facilitating assembly.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limiting component 7 includes a limiting frame 71 that is inserted into the lock cylinder unit 1. The decorative plate 6 has a through hole that cooperates with the lock cylinder unit 1. By setting the limiting frame 71, the position of the lock cylinder unit 1 is initially restricted so that the part into which the key is inserted corresponds to the through hole, thus preventing misalignment.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limiting component 7 further includes two limiting blocks 72. The lock cylinder unit 1 is fixedly provided with a positioning block 73 that cooperates with the two limiting blocks 72. The positioning block 73 is inserted into the gap between the two limiting blocks 72, thereby further fixing the angle of the lock cylinder, preventing it from rotating, and also playing a foolproof role, making it easier to assemble.

[0029] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the fixing structure 8 includes a fixing plate 81 connected to the two limiting blocks 72. One end of the fixing plate 81 is rotatably connected to one limiting block 72 through a connecting component 82, so that the fixing plate 81 can rotate and adjust the angle with the connecting component 82 as the center, which can expose the gap between the two limiting blocks 72, making it convenient to insert the positioning block 73 of the lock cylinder unit 1 into the gap. The other end of the fixing plate 81 is snapped to the other limiting block 72 through a snap-fit ​​component 83.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the connecting component 82 includes a connecting hole formed on the limiting block 72. A spring 821 is installed in the connecting hole. One end of the spring 821 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 822. A movable member 823 is rotatably disposed on the connecting block 822. The movable member 823 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 81. The connecting block 822 can move along the connecting hole. When it moves, it will pull the spring 821 to deform, and the movable member 823 can rotate to adjust the angle, thereby changing the angle of the fixed plate 81.

[0031] More specifically, in this embodiment, the latching assembly 83 includes an elastic portion 831 fixedly disposed on the limiting block 72, a wedge-shaped block 832 fixedly disposed on the elastic portion 831, and a latching interface that cooperates with the wedge-shaped block 832 and the elastic portion 831 on the fixing plate 81. When the lock cylinder unit 1 is connected to the decorative plate 6, the fixing plate 81 is rotated so that its latching interface corresponds to the latching assembly 83, and the fixing plate 81 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 72 to form an integral structure to fix the lock cylinder unit 1.

[0032] Working method: During operation, the position of the lock cylinder unit 1 is initially restricted by the setting limit frame 71, so that the part into which the key is inserted corresponds to the through hole. The positioning block 73 of the lock cylinder unit 1 is inserted into the gap between the two limit blocks 72, thereby further fixing the angle of the lock cylinder. The fixing plate 81 is rotated so that its locking interface corresponds to the buckle assembly 83, and the fixing plate 81 is fixedly connected to the limit block 72 to form an integral structure to fix the lock cylinder unit 1.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
