Description

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of door locks, and more specifically, to a handle lock. The door lock is a commonly used door protection device to prevent illegal intrusion. The existing door lock locking method mainly involves setting a locking mechanism in the lock body to push the deadbolt, so that the deadbolt cannot retract from the buckle box into the lock body. To realize the reverse locking of the door lock; and by locking the door handle that drives the lock tongue to telescope on the door lock base, so that people cannot drive the lock tongue to telescope by turning the door handle; For example, the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN216110120U discloses a rack-type anti-locking mechanism of a door lock, which locks the outer door handle to the outer panel through a locking assembly, so that the outer door handle cannot rotate relative to the outer panel, thereby realizing the door lock. Reverse lock, wherein the locking assembly includes a square bushing, a locking cam and a locking ball matching the locking cam. One end of the square bushing is fixedly connected to the door outer handle, and the other end passes through the locking seat of the outer panel and the square shafts are connected; the locking cam is rotated and set in the square shaft sleeve, and one end of the locking cam is connected to the rotating rod; when the rotating rod drives the locking came to rotate, the locking cam prompts the locking ball to squeeze outwards, Make part of the locking ball pass through the ball hole of the square shaft sleeve and place it in the locking groove of the locking seat; lock the outside door handle on the locking seat, restricting the rotation of the outside door handle on the outer panel; making it impossible for people to turn the outside door handle, and thus cannot The door lock operation is performed; however, due to the locking method in which the ball is squeezed by the cam surface of the locking cam through the ball hole, and a part of the ball is placed in the locking groove of the lock seat, the door lock closing or unlocking operation often suffers from jamming, causing the door lock to not operate smoothly.

[0002] Other constructions of handle locks are known from US 2007 / 051 145 A1, US 6 470 721 B2 or US 6 543 265 B1.

[0005] According to the invention, the anti-lock driving assembly includes a rotating member rotatably arranged in the inner handle and an anti-lock button slidably arranged on the inner handle. One end of the rotating member is connected to the linkage plate, and the other end of the rotating member is provided with threaded groove;

[0006] The anti-lock button is provided with a pin that matches the threaded groove, and the pin drives the rotating member to drive the linkage plate to rotate by compressing the threaded groove.

[0007] In an embodiment, the inner handle connected to the inner handle head is provided with a mounting frame for installing the anti-lock button, and the mounting frame is provided with a sliding mechanism for the anti-lock button with sliding groove.

[0008] In an embodiment, a button window is provided on the inner handle, and the pressing part of the anti-lock button passes through the button window.

[0009] In an embodiment, one end of the linkage plate passes through the lock plate and is connected to the lock core.

[0010] Beneficial effects of the invention: the inner handle of the handle lock is provided with the anti-lock driving assembly, and the outer handle is provided with the locking assembly; wherein the locking assembly includes an outer handle head connected to the outer handle, a lock plate and a linkage plate , the lock plate is slidably arranged inside the outer handle; when the door lock is reverse-locked, the reverse-lock driving assembly drives the linkage plate to rotate, and the linkage plate squeezes and drives the driving backrest to move the lock plate toward the locking groove, and the locking portion passes through the insertion slot of the outer handle and places it in the locking slot. During this process, the locking part of the lock plate can be accurately inserted into the locking slot under the push of the linkage plate, so that the outer handle cannot rotate in the rotation slot of the outer base. The outer handle is firmly locked on the outer base, so that people outside the door cannot unlock the door lock by turning the outer handle, thereby realizing the reverse lock of the door lock; the reverse lock driving assembly drives the linkage plate to rotate in the reverse direction, and the linkage plate reverses. The lock plate is driven to move, so that the locking part and the locking groove are separated, and the lock of the outer handle is released; the unlocking operation can be performed by turning the outer handle; the locking groove on the outer base of the lock plate cooperates to enable the reverse locking and unlocking operations of the door lock. Smoother and effectively avoids lagging.Description of the drawings
