Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0017] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, an automatic locking mechanism for a steel door is proposed, including a pusher 1, a first support 2, a first connecting rod 3, a second connecting rod 4, and a rotating shaft 5 located on the front of the steel door 100, and a turntable 6, a transmission mechanism 7, and a door lock 8 located on the back of the steel door 100, wherein: The pusher 1 is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 3. The pusher 1 can extend and retract. One end of the first connecting rod 3 is provided with a first waist-shaped hole 311. The first waist-shaped hole 311 is hinged to the pusher 1, so that the connection position between the pusher 1 and the first connecting rod 3 can have a certain amount of movement when the pusher 1 extends and retracts, ensuring that the first connecting rod 3 will not jam or fail when rotating, thus improving reliability. The first support 2 is fixedly installed on the front of the steel door 100; The middle part of the first connecting rod 3 is hinged to the first support 2; One end of the second connecting rod 4 is hinged to the other end of the first connecting rod 3, and the other end of the second connecting rod 4 is fixed to the rotating shaft 5; the other end of the first connecting rod 3 is provided with a second oblong hole 321, and the second connecting rod 4 is hinged to the second oblong hole 321 by a pin, ensuring that the second connecting rod 4 will not jam or fail when rotating, thus improving reliability; when operation is required, the pin connecting the second connecting rod 4 and the first connecting rod 3 can be removed, so that the rotating shaft 5 can be manually rotated to realize the manual opening and closing of the door lock 8. When the pusher 1 cannot be used, the steel door 100 can also be opened and closed, thus improving the reliability of the device; The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the steel door 100 and passes through the steel door 100 to connect with the turntable 6 on the back. The turntable 6 is installed on the back of the steel door 100 and is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 5; the transmission mechanism 7 is connected to the turntable 6 and the door lock 8 respectively. The door lock 8 is located on the back side of the steel door 100. The door lock 8 closes when the rotating shaft 5 rotates to the first limit position and opens when the rotating shaft 5 rotates to the second limit position. The steel door 100 is hinged to the door frame 200. The door lock 8 is hinged to the steel door 100 in the middle. One end of the door lock 8 is connected to the transmission mechanism 7, and the other end is used to limit the door lock 8 to the door frame 200, thereby locking the steel door 100. When it needs to be opened, the transmission mechanism 7 drives the door lock 8 to rotate around the hinge point, so that the other end of the door lock 8 is released from the limit of the door frame 200, thereby unlocking the steel door 100.
[0018] The automatic locking mechanism for the steel door proposed in this embodiment uses the extension and retraction of the pusher 1 to drive one end of the first connecting rod 3 to move linearly, thereby causing the first connecting rod 3 to rotate around the first support 2, which in turn drives the second connecting rod 4 and the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of the turntable 6. The turntable 6 drives the door lock 8 to move through the transmission mechanism 7, so that the door lock 8 closes when the rotating shaft 5 rotates to the first limit position and opens when the rotating shaft 5 rotates to the second limit position, realizing the automatic opening and closing of the door lock 8. It is convenient to operate and does not require manual opening and closing of the door lock 8, saving time and effort.
[0019] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 7 includes a third link 71, a second support 72, and a linkage clip 73; one end of the third link 71 is hinged to the turntable 6, and the other end is connected to the linkage clip 73; the middle part of the third link 71 is hinged to the second support 72; the second support 72 is fixedly installed on the steel door 100; the linkage clip 73 is connected to the door lock 8. One end of the third link 71 is provided with a third oblong hole 711, and the other end is provided with a fourth oblong hole 712. The third oblong hole 711 is hinged to the turntable 6, and the fourth oblong hole 712 is hinged to the linkage clip 73. Three door locks 8 are evenly provided on each linkage clip 73; by rotating the turntable 6, the third link 71 is driven to rotate around the second support 72, thereby realizing the movement of the linkage clip 73, so as to complete the simultaneous opening and closing of multiple door locks 8. The structure is simple, and the opening and closing operation of the door locks 8 is quick and convenient. In this embodiment, there are two transmission mechanisms 7, which are located on both sides of the turntable 6. The door locks 8 connected by the two linkage buckles 73 are located on both sides of the width direction of the steel door 100, so that both sides of the steel door 100 can be locked and unlocked at the same time.
[0020] In some embodiments, the automatic locking mechanism further includes a first limiting member 9 and a second limiting member 10 installed on the steel door 100. The first limiting member 9 abuts against the second connecting rod 4 to limit the rotation shaft 5 to the first limiting position; the second limiting member 10 abuts against the second connecting rod 4 to limit the rotation shaft 5 to the second limiting position. The first limiting member 9 and the second limiting member 10 can be flat plates. The first limiting member 9 abuts against the first side of the second connecting rod 4 to limit the rotation shaft 5 to the first limiting position, and the second limiting member 10 abuts against the second side of the second connecting rod 4 to limit the rotation shaft 5 to the second limiting position. The second side and the first side are arranged back-to-back. By using the first limiting member 9 and the second limiting member 10 to limit the rotation angle of the second connecting rod 4 and the rotation shaft 5, the door lock 8 can be closed at the first limiting position and opened at the second limiting position, improving the reliability of the device.
[0021] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first limiting member 9 and the second limiting member 10 is 90 degrees, and the second connecting rod 4 moves within the lesser arc region between the first limiting member 9 and the second limiting member 10. By setting the included angle, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 5 can be limited to 90 degrees, at which the door lock 8 can be opened and closed. Of course, the included angle is not limited to 90 degrees; it can be other values, as long as it satisfies the angles corresponding to the opening and closing of the door lock 8.
[0022] In some embodiments, the pusher 1 is an electric push rod, which pushes one end of the first connecting rod 3 to move linearly along the height direction of the steel door 100. By pushing one end of the first connecting rod 3 linearly along the height direction of the steel door 100, the electric push rod causes the first connecting rod 3 to rotate around the first support 2, which in turn causes the second connecting rod 4 and the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, thus rotating the turntable 6. This transmits the operation of the front of the steel door 100 to the door lock 8 on the back, enabling the automatic opening and closing of the door lock 8.
[0023] In some embodiments, the automatic locking mechanism further includes a base 20, which is fixedly mounted on the steel door 100, and the electric push rod is mounted on the base 20. Fixing the electric push rod to the base 20 facilitates its installation and removal; the electric push rod can be removed simply by opening the steel door 100, making installation and maintenance more convenient.
[0024] In some embodiments, the first link 3 includes a pushing section 31 and a swinging section 32. The end of the pushing section 31 away from the swinging section 32 is connected to the pushing member 1. The swinging section 32 forms an angle with the pushing section 31 and is hinged to the second link 4. The pushing member 1 pushes the pushing section 31 to rotate around the first support 2, causing the swinging section 32 to rotate as well. Because the swinging section 32 forms an angle with the pushing section 31, mechanism failure can be avoided during the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 from the first limit position to the second limit position. The length of the pushing section 31 is less than the length of the swinging section 32, so that a small displacement of the pushing member 1 can complete the rotation of the first link 3 at the corresponding angle, realizing the rapid opening and closing of the door lock 8.
[0025] In some embodiments, the automatic locking mechanism further includes a control box 30, which is electrically connected to the pusher 1 to control the pusher 1 to perform forward and backward movements with a specified stroke. Corresponding pressure sensors may also be provided on the first and second limiters for detecting the arrival of the second link 4. The control box 30 is also electrically connected to these pressure sensors. When the control box 30 senses that the second link 4 is in contact with the first or second limiter, it controls the pusher 1 to stop moving.
[0026] The working principle of the automatic locking mechanism of the steel door in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: the extension and retraction of the pushing member 1 drives one end of the first connecting rod 3 to move linearly, thereby driving the first connecting rod 3 to rotate around the first support 2, driving the second connecting rod 4 and the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, realizing the rotation of the turntable 6; the turntable 6 drives the third connecting rod 71 to rotate around the second support 72, thereby realizing the movement of the linkage latch 73, so as to complete the simultaneous opening and closing of multiple door locks 8. When the first limiting member 9 abuts against the second connecting rod 4, the rotating shaft 5 is in the first limiting position, and the door lock 8 is in the closed state; when the second limiting member 10 abuts against the second connecting rod 4, the rotating shaft 5 is in the second limiting position, and the door lock 8 is in the open state.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
