[0029] See Figures 1 to 7 An opening and closing mechanism for a sliding cover includes a sliding cover 1, on which a locking component and a return component for resetting are provided. The sliding cover 1 is disposed in the accommodating space of the central channel, so that the accommodating space below the sliding cover 1 forms a confidential space. Of course, the opening and closing of the sliding cover 1 needs to be restricted by the cooperation of the opening and closing mechanism.

[0030] The opening and closing mechanism 3 includes an opening and closing motor 31 and an opening and closing pin 32 driven by the opening and closing motor 31. In order to realize the combination lock function in a small space, the opening and closing mechanism 3 is set vertically in the accommodating space of the central passage.

[0031] Of course, the opening and closing mechanism 3 is also electrically connected to the control mechanism to control the action of the opening and closing mechanism 3. In this scheme, the signal output of the combination lock mechanism is preferred to control the action of the opening and closing mechanism 3.

[0032] The sliding cover 1 includes a bracket 11 and a cover body 12. The support 11 is a plate-shaped structure with a closed working part 111 and a hollow working part 112. The two working ends along its width direction are symmetrically provided with mating parts 113, which protrude from the closed working part 111 and the hollow working part 112 to form a groove structure with open ends. The cover plate body 12 is connected to the support 11 through the mounting mating parts 113, and can be guided by the mating parts 113 to close the confidential space by covering the hollow working part 112. Preferably, the mating parts 113 adopt a sliding groove structure and are arranged opposite each other.

[0033] Several mounting positions are provided on the enclosed working section 111, including a return mechanism mounting section 111a and a locking mechanism mounting section 111b.

[0034] The cover plate body 12 includes an operating end and a locking end. An operating part 121 is provided at the operating end to facilitate the operation of the cover plate body 12. A locking component is provided on the upper working surface of the locking end, including a locking seat 21 and a locking and error correction mechanism that cooperates with the locking seat 21 to achieve locking.

[0035] To simplify the component structure, the locking seat 21 can be integrated with the sliding cover 3, or it can be separate, depending on the actual situation.

[0036] The locking seat 21 includes an annular protrusion with an internal cavity and an open portion on one side. A blocking portion 211 is provided in the inner cavity near the eaves of the annular protrusion, and error correction mounting portions 212 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the open portion.

[0037] The locking and error correction mechanism is mainly used to prevent the opening and closing needle from breaking or being damaged due to incorrect signal reception or improper operation, which could cause the opening and closing needle to fail to retract properly.

[0038] The locking and error correction mechanism includes an error correction block having a connecting part 221, an error correction mating part 222, and an error correction working part 223. A spring-loaded torsion spring 224 is fitted on the connecting part 221, and the two extended ends of the connecting part 221 are rotatably disposed in the error correction mounting part 212. The error correction mating part 222 and the error correction working part 223 extend from the opening of the locking seat 21 into the annular protruding cavity, and the working surface of the error correction mating part 222 abuts against the working surface of the blocking part 211. In this way, the error correction block can only rotate clockwise along the connecting part, while the counterclockwise rotation direction is restricted by the blocking part, and it rotates slightly under the action of the spring.

[0039] Of course, when the opening and closing mechanism is released, the sliding cover will automatically return to its original position under the action of the return component.

[0040] The lower working surface of the locking end of the cover plate body is provided with an installation connection part 122, a spring-back mating part 123, and a buffer mating part 124.

[0041] The mounting connection part 122 is used for mounting the mechanical locking assembly, and the spring-back mating part 123 and the buffer mating part 124 are used for mounting the return mechanism.

[0042] More specifically, the buffer mating part 124 is a gear structure and a buffer block located on one side thereof.

[0043] The return assembly is mounted on the closed working part 111 of the bracket 11, and includes a first return mechanism and a second return mechanism arranged symmetrically, as well as a buffer mechanism located between the first return mechanism and the second return mechanism and close to the first return mechanism.

[0044] Both the first and second rebound mechanisms are coil spring structures. The coil spring seat is installed through the return mechanism mounting part, and the working end of the coil spring is connected to the rebound mating part 123. The buffer mechanism is mainly used to avoid the impact force caused by the large rebound force of the first and second rebound mechanisms.

[0045] The buffer mechanism includes a rack seat 331 disposed at the closed end of the bracket 11, and a limit groove 332 is provided on one side of the rack seat 331.

[0046] Specifically, the gear structure of the buffer mating part 124 meshes with the rack on the rack seat 331, and the buffer block is inserted in the limiting slide groove 332. The buffering of the rebound is achieved through the meshing of the gear and rack. At the same time, the cooperation between the buffer block and the limiting slide groove can ensure the smoothness of the sliding cover plate during the rebound process.

[0047] A mechanical locking assembly that cooperates with a mechanical locking mechanism is provided on the cover plate body 12 located on one side of the locking assembly. The device includes a locking block 5, with a first connecting part 51 and a second connecting part 52 respectively provided at its two working ends. A locking structure is provided on the lower working surface of the locking block 5 between the first connecting part 51 and the second connecting part 52.

[0048] The locking structure includes a working groove 53 with one end open and the other end closed. The working groove 53 at the closed end is divided into a locking channel and a release channel by a stop 54 and then merges at the opening. A locking working position 541 is provided on the working end of the stop 54.

[0049] The mechanical locking mechanism is a locking rod installed on the locking mechanism mounting part 111b.

[0050] When the above-mentioned mechanism is used, there are two modes. One is the confidential space mode, which is to control the opening and closing mechanism through the signal output of the combination lock mechanism to realize the unlocking and closing of the sliding cover 1.

[0051] In the locked state, the opening / closing pin 32 is inserted into the annular protrusion cavity, keeping the sliding cover 1 locked, i.e., the security space is closed. When unlocking is required, after entering the password on the combination lock mechanism, the signal output controls the opening / closing motor 31 to actuate. The opening / closing motor 31 drives the opening / closing pin 32 to retract vertically, disengaging from the annular protrusion cavity and contacting the obstruction, thus unlocking the security space. Conversely, to close the security space, the sliding cover 1 is pulled to the position set by the opening / closing motor 31, and the combination lock is manually operated. The mechanism has a locking function. The opening and closing motor 31 drives the opening and closing needle 32 to move downward and enter the annular protrusion cavity to lock it. Of course, during the process of closing the sliding cover 1, there may be a situation where the opening and closing needle 32 continues to move downward even if it is not closed in place. At this time, the opening and closing needle 32 reaches the error correction working part 223 of the error correction block in advance and interacts with it. Under the action of the external force of the opening and closing needle 32, the error correction block rotates clockwise along the connecting part 221, so that the opening and closing needle 32 enters the annular protrusion cavity to achieve position correction and prevent damage to the opening and closing needle 32.

[0052] Another mode is the normal storage mode. When the sliding cover 1 slides to the position of the locking mechanism mounting part 111b, the locking rod enters the working groove through the opening of the working groove 53. As the sliding cover 1 moves, the locking rod moves along the locking channel until it stops and locks at the locking working position 541 set on the working end of the stop block 54, and keeps the sliding cover 1 in this position. When the sliding cover 1 needs to be reset, continue to pull the sliding cover 1. The locking rod disengages from the locking working position 541 and enters the release channel. Then it disengages from the working groove through the opening of the working groove. The first spring mechanism and the second spring mechanism pull the sliding cover 1 to reset, and the springback buffer is achieved through the buffer mechanism.

[0053] By incorporating an opening and closing mechanism within a limited storage space, the system can both secure the space and provide standard storage functions, meeting various customer storage needs and enhancing the customer experience.

[0054] This allows for more diverse storage options, meeting various customer storage needs and improving customer experience.

[0055] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
