Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock-making technology, specifically to a general-purpose lock. Background Technology

[0002] Existing locks, especially those for interior doors, consist of a first handle mounted on a first panel and a second handle mounted on a second panel. During installation, the first and second handles are typically linked by a lock bar, and the first and second panels are connected and secured to the door body and latch assembly by bolts. This system presents the following problems.

[0003] 1. If the first and second handles are damaged, the first and second panels need to be removed to replace the handles. In addition, the bolts are exposed on the front of the first or second panel.

[0004] Second, some interior doors, such as bathroom doors, are mostly composed of glass and aluminum profile frames. Since the thickness and shape of the aluminum profiles used in different door bodies are different, the gap between the second and first panels of the lock and the aluminum profile is uncontrollable after the second and first panels are installed. When the gap is less than zero, the lock cannot be installed, and when the gap is too large, it is not aesthetically pleasing.

[0005] Third, most interior door locks only have an inner deadbolt function, while the outer deadbolt cannot be activated, making it impossible to quickly open the interior door in an emergency. Although some interior door locks do have an outer deadbolt function, they still require a key to unlock. In an emergency, the key is still needed to unlock the door. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a universal lock that is compatible with various door profiles.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows.

[0008] A universal lock includes a first panel assembly, a second panel assembly, and a latch assembly mounted on a door. The first panel assembly includes a first lock box and a first decorative cover. The second panel assembly includes a second lock box and a second decorative cover. The first fixed box, the latch assembly, and the second fixed box are fastened to the door by bolts. The inner side of the first decorative cover has a first movable groove, and the side of the first movable groove has a first protruding buckle. The upper and lower sides of the first lock box have first L-shaped slots. The first protruding buckle is inserted into the first L-shaped slots, and the first lock box is placed in the first movable groove. The tail of the first decorative cover and the first lock box are connected by a first adjustment mechanism. The second decorative cover is connected by a screw. Rotating the first adjusting screw moves the first decorative cover relative to the first lock box within the first L-shaped slot, causing the head of the first decorative cover to abut against the door. The second decorative cover has a second movable groove on its inner side and a second protrusion on its side. The second lock box has second L-shaped slots on its upper and lower sides. The second protrusion is inserted into the second L-shaped slot, and the second lock box is placed in the second movable groove. The tails of the second decorative cover and the second lock box are connected by a second adjusting screw. Rotating the second adjusting screw moves the second decorative cover relative to the second lock box within the second L-shaped slot, causing the head of the second decorative cover to abut against the door.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the first decorative cover head decreases inward from back to front, so that the end face of the first decorative cover head forms a first abutting surface, and the thickness of the second decorative cover head decreases inward from back to front, so that the end face of the second decorative cover head forms a second abutting surface.

[0010] Reducing the contact area between the first and second contact surfaces and the door profile makes it easier to adapt to door profiles of various shapes.

[0011] Furthermore, the first lock box has a first screw hole at its tail end, and a first clearance cavity corresponding to the first screw hole. The first decorative cover has a first countersunk hole. The tail end of the first adjusting screw passes through the first countersunk hole and is threadedly connected to the first screw hole. The head of the first adjusting screw is placed in the first countersunk hole. Tightening the first adjusting screw pushes the first decorative cover to move, and the tail end of the first adjusting screw is inserted into the first clearance cavity. The second lock box has a second screw hole at its tail end, and a second clearance cavity corresponding to the second screw hole. The second decorative cover has a second countersunk hole. The tail end of the second adjusting screw passes through the second countersunk hole and is threadedly connected to the second screw hole. The head of the second adjusting screw is placed in the second countersunk hole. Tightening the second adjusting screw pushes the second decorative cover to move, and the tail end of the second adjusting screw is inserted into the second clearance cavity.

[0012] The first clearance cavity and the first countersunk hole conceal the first adjusting screw, and the second clearance cavity and the second countersunk hole conceal the second adjusting screw. The first and second adjusting screws cannot be directly seen from the inside and outside sides of the lock.

[0013] Furthermore, the first panel assembly and the second panel assembly are arranged symmetrically inside and out, the first lock box and the second lock box have the same structure, and the first decorative cover and the second decorative cover have the same structure.

[0014] The parts are interchangeable, reducing mold opening and production costs.

[0015] Furthermore, the latch assembly is located in the transmission hole through which the lock bar passes, and the first decorative cover is provided with a first clearance elongated hole corresponding to the lock bar. During the movement of the first decorative cover, the lock bar remains in the first clearance elongated hole. The second decorative cover is provided with a second clearance elongated hole corresponding to the lock bar. During the movement of the second decorative cover, the lock bar remains in the second clearance elongated hole.

[0016] The movement of the first and second decorative covers and the locking strip are uninterrupted.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a first handle assembly, a second handle assembly, and a locking bar. One end of the first handle assembly and the locking bar are detachably connected and fixed. The second handle assembly is provided with a self-locking device, which includes a first fixed seat, a second fixed seat, at least one self-locking plate, and a self-locking spring. One of the opposing surfaces of the first fixed seat and the second fixed seat is a self-locking inclined surface, and the other is a plane. The self-locking spring and the self-locking plate are disposed between the first fixed seat and the second fixed seat. The self-locking spring causes the self-locking plate to tilt towards the self-locking inclined surface. The first fixed seat, the second fixed seat, and the self-locking plate are respectively provided with an axially aligned first lock hole, a second lock hole, and a third lock hole. The other end of the locking bar passes through the first panel assembly, the latch assembly, and the second panel assembly and is inserted into the first lock hole. When the locking bar passes through the third lock hole, the locking bar thrust causes the self-locking plate to move towards the plane and be aligned. The locking bar passes through the third lock hole and is inserted into the second lock hole. After the locking bar stops, the self-locking spring pushes the self-locking plate to tilt, causing the third lock hole to tilt and lock the locking bar.

[0018] The first and second panel assemblies can be pre-installed on the door, and the first and second handle assemblies can be quickly installed without tools afterwards.

[0019] Furthermore, the second handle assembly includes a second handle seat and a second handle body. The outer end face of the second handle seat and the inner side of one end of the second handle body are connected and fixed. A self-locking mounting cavity is formed between the second handle seat and the second handle body. The first fixing seat and the second fixing seat abut against the two ends of the mounting cavity, respectively. The side with the smallest gap between the self-locking inclined surface and the plane is clamped to one side of the self-locking piece. The plane with the largest gap between the self-locking inclined surface and the plane is provided with a fixing groove. The fixing groove is parallel to the lock bar. The self-locking spring is set in the fixing groove. One end of the self-locking spring abuts against the bottom surface of the fixing groove.

The inner end of the push rod is linked with the deadbolt assembly. The deadbolt assembly has both an unlocked state and a deadbolt state when it is activated. In the deadbolt position, the deadbolt pin of the deadbolt assembly is inserted into the positioning hole of the first panel assembly, and the positions of the first handle assembly and the first panel assembly are relatively fixed. In the unlocked state, external force pushes the push rod to move towards the first handle assembly. The push rod causes the anti-lock pin to disengage from the positioning hole, and the first handle assembly can rotate relative to the first panel assembly.

[0022] No key is needed; simply push the lever with an external object to unlock it. It's simple and easy to operate.

[0023] Furthermore, the first handle assembly has a mounting cavity, and the deadbolt assembly is movably disposed within the mounting cavity. The deadbolt assembly includes a deadbolt block and a rocker switch assembly. The deadbolt block has the deadbolt pin, and the deadbolt block moves axially along the push rod. The rocker switch assembly includes a button, which extends out of the first handle assembly. The button is rotatably connected to the mounting cavity. One end of the button is linked to the deadbolt block, and the inner end of the push rod is linked to the deadbolt block. When the button is rotated to move the deadbolt block closer to the latch assembly, the deadbolt pin extends out of the first handle assembly and inserts into the positioning hole, and the first handle assembly is in the deadbolt state. When the button is rotated in the opposite direction to pull the deadbolt block away from the latch assembly, the deadbolt pin disengages from the positioning hole and retracts into the first handle assembly, and the first handle assembly is in the unlocked state.

[0024] The deadbolt assembly is reasonably designed, making it easy to release the deadbolt by pushing the lever.

[0025] Furthermore, the first handle assembly includes a first handle base and a first handle body. The inner side of the first handle body is provided with a first mounting groove, and the outer side of the first handle body is provided with a first clearance hole communicating with the first mounting groove.

The first fixed base 61, the second fixed base 62, and the self-locking plates 63 are respectively provided with axially aligned first locking holes 610, second locking holes 620, and third locking holes 630. The self-locking device 600 is positioned within the self-locking mounting cavity 53, aligning the fourth locking hole 54 and the second locking hole 620. In this embodiment, the lock bar 700 has a square cross-section, and the corresponding first locking hole 610, second locking hole 620, third locking hole 630, fourth locking hole 54, and fifth locking hole 143 are all square holes. When the self-locking plate 63 is aligned, i.e., in a vertical position, the locking bar 700 can freely pass through the third locking hole 630. If the self-locking plate 63 is tilted, the third locking hole 630 tilts along with the self-locking plate 63, the gap between the locking bar 700 and the third locking hole 630 is eliminated, and the third locking hole 630 restricts the movement of the locking bar 700. The gap between the locking bar 700 and the third locking hole 630 determines the tilt angle required for the self-locking plate 63 to lock.

[0047] Specifically, the first fixing seat 61 and the second fixing seat 62 abut against both ends of the mounting cavity 101, respectively. The side with the smallest gap between the self-locking inclined surface 611 and the plane 621 clamps one side of the self-locking piece 63. The plane 621 with the largest gap between the self-locking inclined surface 611 and the plane 621 is provided with a fixing groove 623, which is parallel to the locking bar 700. A self-locking spring 64 is disposed within the fixing groove 623, with one end of the self-locking spring 64 abutting against the bottom surface of the fixing groove 623, and the self-locking spring 64 extending out of the fixing groove 623 to abut against the self-locking piece 63. One of the first fixing seat 61 and the second fixing seat 62, corresponding to the side with the smallest gap between the self-locking inclined surface 611 and the plane 621, is provided with a positioning protrusion 612, and the other with a positioning slot 622. The corresponding self-locking piece 63 is provided with a clearance notch 631, through which the positioning protrusion 612 passes and inserts into the positioning slot 622. The self-locking piece 63 swings relative to the positioning protrusion 612 through the clearance notch 631.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first fixing base 61 is provided with the self-locking inclined surface 611 and the positioning protrusion 612, and the self-locking inclined surface 611 is inclined away from the second fixing base 62. The second fixing base 62 is provided with the plane 621 and the positioning slot 622. The first fixing base 61 is provided with a positioning pin, which is inserted into the positioning hole 55 to form the limiting connection. The side of the second handle assembly 500 is provided with an unlocking hole 56 that communicates with the self-locking mounting cavity 53, and the inner end of the unlocking hole 56 faces the side with the largest distance between the self-locking inclined surface 611 and the plane 621.

[0049] Preferably, the second handle base 52 has a second fastening screw hole 57 on its side that connects to the fourth lock hole 54. A second fastening screw 58 is provided in the second fastening screw hole 57. The lock bar 700 has a second fastening hole 703 on its side. The lock bar 700 is inserted into the fourth lock hole 54. The second fastening hole 703 is aligned with the second fastening screw hole 57. The second fastening screw 58 is tightened. The tail of the second fastening screw 58 is inserted into the second fastening hole 703, so that the other end of the second handle assembly 500 and the lock bar 700 can be detachably connected, further improving the connection firmness of the first handle assembly 100, the lock bar 700 and the second handle assembly 500.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first panel assembly 200 and the second panel assembly 400 have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically inside and outside the door, that is, the first lock box 21 and the second lock box 41 have the same structure, and the first decorative cover 22 and the second decorative cover 42 have the same structure.

[0051] Universal lock installation process. The latch assembly 300 is installed into the door body, and the first panel assembly 200 and the second panel assembly 400 are respectively placed on the inner and outer sides of the door body. The first fixing box, the latch assembly 300, and the second fixing box are fastened to the door body with bolts. The first decorative cover 22 and the first lock box 21 are snap-fitted together, and the second decorative cover 42 and the second lock box 41 are snap-fitted together. The first decorative cover 22 and the second decorative cover 42 cover the bolts used to connect the first fixing box and the second fixing box.

[0052] The first handle assembly 100 aligns the locking bar 700 through the first clearance elongated hole 225 of the first decorative cover 22, the first lock box 21, the transmission hole of the latch assembly 300, the second lock box 41, and the second clearance elongated hole 425 of the second decorative cover 42 before inserting it into the second handle assembly 500 for connection. Specifically, the locking bar 700 is inserted into the first lock hole 610 from the fourth lock hole 54. When the locking bar 700 passes through the third lock hole 630, the pushing force of the locking bar 700 causes the self-locking plate 63 to move and align towards the plane 621. The locking bar 700 can then pass through the third lock hole 630 and continue to be inserted into the second lock hole 620. After the locking bar 700 stops being inserted, the self-locking spring 64 pushes the self-locking plate 63 to tilt, causing the third lock hole 630 to tilt and lock the locking bar 700. The outer end of the push rod 8 is inserted into the unlocking hole 50. During this process, as the locking bar 700 is inserted, the distance between the first handle assembly 100 and the second handle assembly 500 decreases, thereby achieving a self-locking connection between the first handle assembly 100 and the second handle assembly 500.

[0053] Tighten the first adjusting screw 224. The first adjusting screw 224 pushes the first decorative cover 22 to move, that is, the first decorative cover 22 moves relative to the first lock box 21 within the first L-shaped slot 211. The tail of the first adjusting screw 224 inserts into the first clearance cavity 213, so that the first abutting surface 20 of the head of the first decorative cover 22 abuts against the door body. During the movement of the first decorative cover 22, the lock bar 700 remains within the first clearance elongated hole 225. Tighten the second adjusting screw 424. The second adjusting screw 424 pushes the second decorative cover 42 to move, that is, the second decorative cover 42 moves relative to the second lock box 41 within the second L-shaped slot 411. The tail of the second adjusting screw 424 inserts into the second clearance cavity 413, and the second abutting surface 40 of the head of the second decorative cover 42 abuts against the door body (as shown in the profile). During the movement of the second decorative cover 42, the lock bar 700 remains within the second clearance elongated hole 425. This eliminates the installation gap between the door body and the first panel assembly 200 and the second panel assembly 400. Generally, the latch assembly 300, the first panel assembly 200, and the second panel assembly 400 are pre-installed on the door body. The first handle assembly 100 and the second handle assembly 500 are then installed subsequently.

[0054] During the disassembly process of the first handle assembly 100 and the second handle assembly 500, an external object (such as a flathead screwdriver) is inserted into the unlocking socket 56 to align the self-locking plate 63, causing the locking bar 700 to disengage from the second locking hole 620. In the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, the self-locking plate 63 has a relatively large tilt angle to facilitate a visual understanding of the self-locking process of the first handle assembly 100 and the second handle assembly 500. In practice, the tilt angle is relatively small, and the self-locking plate 63 will not conform to the self-locking inclined surface 611; that is, a gap is left between the self-locking plate 63 and the self-locking inclined surface 611 for the insertion of an external object.

[0055] Universal lock usage process. The universal lock has a deadbolt state and an unlocked state. In the deadbolt state, pressing button 121 rotates the button 121, which in turn pushes the deadbolt block 11 closer to the bolt assembly 300 via the first linkage shaft 126, linkage rod 127, and second linkage shaft 128. The deadbolt block 11 drives the deadbolt pin 111 to move, extending out of the second clearance hole 142, passing through the first clearance elongated hole 225, and inserting into the positioning hole 214 of the first lock box 21. The positions of the first handle assembly 100 and the first panel assembly 200 are relatively fixed, that is, the first handle assembly 100 cannot be rotated, and consequently the lock bar 700 cannot be rotated, thus achieving the deadbolt purpose. Simultaneously, the rotation of button 121 drives the swing part 129 and the limiting shaft 123 to rotate. The limiting shaft 123 presses the top rod 124 back into the third mounting groove 146 and rotates against the elastic force of the limiting spring 125 until the limiting shaft 123 is located on the right side of the top rod 124. The spring force pushes the top rod 124 to reset. The top rod 124 restricts the movement of the limiting shaft 123 to the left side of the top rod 124, so that button 121 remains in the locked state.

[0056] In the unlocked state, pressing button 121 causes it to rotate in the opposite direction, pulling the anti-lock block 11 away from the latch assembly 300. The anti-lock block 11 then moves the anti-lock pin 111, disengaging it from the positioning hole 214 and the first clearance slot 225 and retracting it into the second clearance hole 142. This allows the first handle assembly 100 to rotate relative to the first panel assembly 200. Simultaneously, the rotation of button 121 causes the swing part 129 and the limiting shaft 123 to rotate. The limiting shaft 123 presses the top rod 124 back into the third mounting groove 146 and rotates against the spring force of the limiting spring 125 until the limiting shaft 123 is located to the left of the top rod 124. The spring force then pushes the top rod 124 back to its original position, restricting the movement of the limiting shaft 123 to the right side of the top rod 124, thus keeping button 121 in the unlocked state.

[0057] In this embodiment, the universal lock is mostly used for interior doors, such as bathroom doors. The first handle assembly 100 is usually located inside the bathroom, and the second handle assembly 500 is located outside the bathroom. The first handle assembly 100 is used to lock and unlock the universal lock.

[0058] Of course, in special circumstances, by inserting a foreign object into the unlocking hole 50 of the second handle assembly 500, the foreign object pushes the push rod 8 towards the push block, that is, the push rod 8 extends out of the third clearance hole towards the first contact slope. The push rod 8 presses against the first contact slope, causing the push block to move in the opposite direction. The first abutment surface 621 and the second abutment surface 621 disengage, and the first contact slope and the second contact slope come into contact. The elastic force of the anti-lock spring pushes the anti-lock block 11 to reset, that is, the anti-lock pin 111 disengages from the positioning hole 214 and the first clearance elongated hole 225 and retracts into the second clearance hole 142. The first handle assembly 100 can rotate relative to the first panel assembly 200, that is, the second handle assembly 500 can also rotate relative to the second panel assembly 400. This allows for convenient and quick opening of the lock, avoiding damage to the door and the lock.
