Car door locking mechanism, car door and railway insulation car

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202310917335.9 filed on July 25, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of railway vehicles, and in particular to a door locking mechanism, a door, and a railway insulated vehicle. Background Art

[0004] In order to maintain the stability of thermal insulation performance, railway insulated vehicles have high requirements for the sealing and thermal insulation of the doors. Sliding embedded doors are usually used to press the door body tightly against the door frame, and the sealing and thermal insulation performance of the door area is maintained by the compression deformation of the sealing strip between the door and the door frame.

[0005] Since the door needs to slide open frequently, a stable and reliable locking structure needs to be provided between the door and the door frame to reliably realize the door opening and locking functions. Typically, a locking cam is provided on a locking rod that is rotatably provided on the door, and a locking seat that cooperates with the locking cam is provided on the door frame. After the door is inserted into the door frame, the locking rod is driven to rotate to drive the locking cam to engage with the locking seat to lock the door to the door frame. The locking rods can be symmetrically provided on both sides of the door, and a locking cam is provided on the upper and lower parts of each locking rod. By driving the locking rods to rotate, multiple locking cams can be synchronized and locked with the locking seat, which is convenient and quick.

[0006] However, as the use time of multiple locking cams increases, the locking pace of the multiple locking cams is prone to be inconsistent, resulting in some locking cams being embedded in the locking seat while some locking cams are not yet in place, making it impossible to lock one side or multiple positions of the door body to the door frame, which can easily cause a safety accident in which the door body loosens.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0031] In addition, the present disclosure may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, the present disclosure provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0032] The technical solution of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] A sliding recessed door on a railway vehicle comprises a door body mounted on a door frame and slidable on rails within the vehicle body. Once the door body is aligned with the door frame, it can be moved into the door frame and locked within it via a locking mechanism. To accommodate the door's larger area, multiple locking mechanisms are typically installed in various areas of the door body, each driven in series over a large span via a transmission structure. This makes the locking mechanisms susceptible to factors such as assembly errors, drive distance, and structural damage, leading to deterioration in drive function and unstable and unreliable locking, seriously compromising the safety of the door lock.

[0034] To this end, the present disclosure provides a vehicle door locking mechanism, a vehicle door, and a railway insulated vehicle, which aim to improve, to a certain extent, the reliability and stability of the multi-zone locking function embedded in the vehicle door during sliding.

[0035] Figure 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of the locked state of a vehicle door locking mechanism according to some embodiments of the present disclosure; Figure 2 shows a side view of the vehicle door locking mechanism in Figure 1 from a first perspective; Figure 3 shows a side view of the vehicle door locking mechanism in Figure 1 from a second perspective; Figure 11 shows a structural schematic diagram of the open state of a vehicle door locking mechanism according to some embodiments of the present disclosure; Figure 12 shows a side view of the open state of a vehicle door locking mechanism according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, 11, and 12, in some embodiments, a vehicle door locking mechanism 10 is connected between a door body 21 and a door frame 22 to lock the door body 21 within the door frame 22 after the door body 21 and the door frame 22 are aligned. The vehicle door locking mechanism 10 includes a first locking assembly 100, a drive mechanism 200, a second locking assembly 300, and a transmission assembly 400. The first locking assembly 100 is connected between the door body and the door frame; the drive mechanism 200 is connected to the first locking assembly 100 to drive the first locking assembly 100 to lock or unlock; the second locking assembly 300 is connected between the door body and the door frame; and the transmission assembly 400 is connected between the drive mechanism 200 and the second locking assembly 300 to synchronously drive the second locking assembly 300 to lock or unlock when the drive mechanism 200 drives the first locking assembly 100 to lock or unlock.

[0037] The first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 are used to lock the door body 21 and the door frame 22 together, thereby locking the door body. The first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 can be respectively installed in the upper and lower parts or the left and right parts of the door body 21, so that the first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 will have a certain span.

[0038] In order to maintain stable and reliable actuation of the first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300, the drive mechanism 200 can be directly connected to the first locking assembly 100 to achieve direct drive, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of its locking and unlocking operations. The second locking assembly 300 can be indirectly connected to the drive mechanism 200 via the transmission assembly 400, and the second locking assembly 300 can be driven to operate via a second drive path. In this way, the first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 are independently driven by the drive mechanism 200, rather than driving the first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 in series. As a result, the first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 are independently driven synchronously as a whole, achieving stable locking and unlocking of each area and ensuring functional reliability and stability.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 can be respectively arranged in the upper and lower areas of the door body 21 to lock the upper and lower parts of the door body. The first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 can also be provided in two groups, and the two groups of first locking assemblies 100 can be respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part of the door body, and the two groups of second locking assemblies 300 can be respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part of the door body 21, thereby achieving locking at the four corner areas of the door body 21, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the locking.

[0040] In some embodiments, the number of first locking assemblies 100 and second locking assemblies 300 can be increased to expand the locking area and improve locking reliability to a certain extent. Accordingly, the number of first locking assemblies 100 and second locking assemblies 300 can be increased according to the overall specifications of the door body 21, such as length and height. The number of first locking assemblies 100 and second locking assemblies 300 can avoid the situation where there are too few locking points within a large length range, which may affect the stability and reliability of the door body locking.

[0041] FIG7 shows an enlarged view IV of the locked state of the door lock mechanism in FIG1 ; and FIG10 shows an enlarged view VI of the locked state of the door lock mechanism in FIG1 .

[0042] 3 , 7 and 10 , in some embodiments, the first locking assembly 100 may include: a first locking seat 110 , a first locking cam 120 , a first connecting rod 130 and a first lever 140 .

[0043] The first locking seat 110 can be set on the door frame 22, and the first locking cam 120 can be deflectedly set on the door body 21, and the first locking cam 120 and the installation position of the first locking seat 110 are matched to enable the first locking cam 120 to be deflected and embedded in the first locking seat 110, and the first locking cam 120 can be deflected in the opposite direction to disengage from the first locking seat 110, thereby realizing the locking and then unlocking of the door body 21 and the door frame 22.

[0044] To achieve deflection drive of the first locking cam 120, the first connecting rod 130 can be connected to the first locking cam 120, and the first locking cam 120 can be pulled by the first connecting rod 130 to deflect. To adapt to the stable reciprocating deflection of the first locking cam 120, the movement mode of the first connecting rod 130 can be set to reciprocate along a set trajectory. Accordingly, the first connecting rod 130 can be connected to the first lever 140, and the first lever 140 can be connected to the driving mechanism 200. The driving mechanism 200 can drive the first lever 140 to deflect, push and pull the first connecting rod 130 to move, thereby driving the first locking cam 120 to deflect and embed or disengage from the first locking seat 110, thereby locking and unlocking the door body.

[0045] In order to ensure smooth and compatible movement of the first locking cam 120, the first connecting rod 130 and the first lever 140 and avoid rigid interference, the connection between the first connecting rod 130 and the first locking cam 120 and the first lever 140 can be set as a movable connection, such as a pivot connection, so that the smooth and compatible movement of each component can be achieved through relative rotation of the first connecting rod 130, the first locking cam 120 and the first lever 140, and rigid interference can be avoided.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first locking seat 110 may include a first seat body 111 and a first locking pin 112; the first seat body 111 may be configured as a frame-shaped structure with a cavity provided inside to accommodate the first locking cam 120; the first locking pin 112 is provided on the first seat body 111 and on the deflection trajectory of the first locking cam 120. After the first locking cam 120 deflects to the set position in the first seat body 111, it can abut against the first locking pin 112, thereby locking the first locking cam 120, and then pressing the door body 21 connected to the first locking cam 120 to lock it in the door frame 22.

[0047] In some embodiments, the deflection plane of the first locking cam 120 can be set to be perpendicular to the extension direction of the plate surface of the door body 21, so that the locking force between the first locking pin 112 and the first locking cam 120 is basically parallel to the extension direction of the plate surface constituting the first locking cam 120, rather than in a direction that forms an angle with the plate surface of the first locking cam 120, thereby greatly reducing the risk of force deformation of the first locking cam 120 and ensuring the reliability of the structural form of the first locking cam 120 and the stability of the locking state.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 7, in some embodiments, in order to maintain the stability of the rotational posture of the first locking cam 120, so that the direction of the abutment force between the first locking cam 120 and the first locking pin 112 is basically parallel to the plate extension direction of the first locking cam 120, the first locking assembly 100 may also include a first support seat 170 and a first locking rod 160, the first support seat 170 is fixed on the door body 21, the first locking rod 160 is rotatably arranged in the first support seat 170, and the first locking cam 120 is fixed on the first locking rod 160, so that the cooperation relationship between the first support seat 170 and the first locking rod 160 can be used to form a stable deflection support structure for maintaining the stability of the deflection posture of the first locking cam 120.

[0049] In some embodiments, the number of the first support seats 170 can be set to two or more, so as to support the first locking rod 160 at multiple points of rotation to ensure the stability of the rotation posture of the first locking rod 160; the first locking rod 160 ensures the uniformity of force under the support limit of multiple first support seats 170, avoiding deformation, swinging and other defects caused by unilateral support, thereby improving the structure of the first locking assembly 100 and the reliability of the locking function.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 10 , in some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the deflected posture of the first lever 140, the first locking assembly 100 may further include a first lever support 150. The first lever support 150 is disposed on the door body 21, and the first lever 140 is rotatably connected to the first lever support 150, thereby achieving stable, independent installation and deflection of the first lever 140. Furthermore, this can reduce the need for modification and processing of the door body 21, thereby improving the adaptability of the first locking assembly in installation and implementation.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1 and 10, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 200 may include a core shaft 210 and a slider 220, the core shaft 210 being rotatably arranged on the door body 21, and the core shaft 210 being screwed into the slider 220 to constitute a driving functional structure in the form of a ball screw; that is, the core shaft 210 can only rotate in situ, and the slider 220 can only move back and forth in the axial direction of the core shaft 210, so that when the core shaft 210 rotates, the slider 220 moves in the axial direction of the core shaft 210 under the drive of the core shaft 210 to realize the push-pull operation of the first lever 140.

[0052] In some embodiments, the axial direction of the core shaft 210 can be set to be perpendicular to the extension direction of the door body's plate surface, and the moving direction of the slider 220 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the door body's plate surface, that is, the slider 220 can only approach or move away from the door body 21 in a direction perpendicular to the door body. In the process of the slider 220 approaching or moving away from the door body 21, the slider 220 pushes and pulls the first lever 140 to deflect, thereby pushing and pulling the first connecting rod 130 and the first locking cam 120 in turn, driving the first locking cam 120 to deflect and embed into or disengage from the first locking seat 110.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 10 , in some embodiments, the drive mechanism 200 may further include a drive support 240, which may be mounted on the door body. The end of the core shaft 210 may be rotatably embedded in the drive support 240, thereby enabling the core shaft 210 to achieve in-situ relative rotation relative to the door body 21. Furthermore, a structure such as a slide rail or a slide groove may be provided on the drive support 240 for slidably connecting the slider 220, and the slider 220 may move in a direction perpendicular to the door body 21 relative to the drive support 240.

[0054] Therefore, when the driving mechanism 200 is in operation, the core shaft 210 rotates to drive the slider 220 to move relative to the driving support 240 in a direction perpendicular to the door body 21 and simultaneously push and pull the first lever 140 .

[0055] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate driving the core shaft 210 to rotate, a handle 230 may be connected to the core shaft 210 , so that when opening or closing the door body 21 , the handle 230 may be operated to drive the core shaft 210 to rotate.

[0056] In some embodiments, the core shaft 210 can also be connected to an automated power device such as a drive motor to achieve automatic door locking and unlocking operations.

[0057] In some embodiments, considering that the moving direction of the slider 220 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the panel surface of the door body 21, the deflection plane of the first lever 140 can also be set to extend perpendicular to the panel surface of the door body 21, so as to smoothly adapt to the movement forms of the slider 220 and the first lever 140, thereby ensuring the driving smoothness of the first locking assembly 100 and the driving mechanism 200.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first lever support 150 can be configured as a U-shaped bracket, the first lever 140 is pivotally connected to the U-shaped bracket, and the first lever 140 is placed upright on the door body 21 .

[0059] In some embodiments, considering that the first lever 140 and the slider 220 have different movement forms, in order to reduce the probability of interference caused by a rigid connection, the first lever 140 and the slider 220 can also be movably connected, such as pivotally connected, so that they can adapt to each other through relative rotation to avoid interference.

[0060] FIG4 shows an enlarged view I of the locked state of the door lock mechanism in FIG1 ; and FIG8 shows an enlarged view V of the locked state of the door lock mechanism in FIG1 .

[0061] 3 , 4 and 8 , in some embodiments, the second locking assembly 300 may include: a second locking seat 310 , a second locking cam 320 , a second connecting rod 330 and a second lever 340 .

[0062] The second locking seat 310 can be set on the door frame 22, and the second locking cam 320 can be deflectedly set on the door body 21, and the second locking cam 320 and the installation position of the second locking seat 310 are matched to each other, so that the second locking cam 320 can be deflected and embedded in the second locking seat 310, and the second locking cam 320 can be deflected in the opposite direction to disengage from the second locking seat 310, thereby realizing the locking and then unlocking of the door body 21 and the door frame 22.

[0063] To achieve deflection drive of the second locking cam 320, the second connecting rod 330 can be connected to the second locking cam 320, and the second locking cam 320 can be pulled by the second connecting rod 330 to deflect. To adapt to the stable reciprocating deflection of the second locking cam 320, the movement mode of the second connecting rod 330 can be set to reciprocate along a set trajectory. Accordingly, the second connecting rod 330 can be connected to the second lever 340, and the second lever 340 can be connected to the drive mechanism 200 via the transmission assembly 400. This can indirectly drive the deflection of the second lever 340 remotely through the drive mechanism 200, pushing and pulling the second connecting rod 330 to move, thereby driving the second locking cam 320 to deflect and engage or disengage from the second locking seat 310, thereby locking and unlocking the door body.

[0064] In order to ensure that the movement of the second locking cam 320, the second connecting rod 330 and the second lever 340 is smooth and compatible and to avoid rigid interference, the connection between the second connecting rod 330 and the second locking cam 320 and the second lever 340 can be set as a movable connection, such as a pivot connection, so that the movement of each component can be smooth and compatible through the relative rotation of the second connecting rod 330 and the second locking cam 320 and the second lever 340 to avoid interference.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second locking seat 310 may include a second seat body 311 and a second locking pin 312; the second seat body 311 may be configured as a frame-shaped structure with a cavity provided inside to accommodate the second locking cam 320; the second locking pin 312 is provided on the second seat body 311 and on the deflection trajectory of the second locking cam 320. After the second locking cam 320 deflects to the set position in the second seat body 311, it can abut against the second locking pin 312, thereby locking the second locking cam 320, and then pressing the door body 21 connected to the second locking cam 320 to lock it in the door frame 22.

[0066] In some embodiments, the deflection plane of the second locking cam 320 can be set to be perpendicular to the extension direction of the plate surface of the door body 21, so that the locking force between the second locking pin 312 and the second locking cam 320 is basically parallel to the extension direction of the plate surface of the second locking cam 320, rather than in the direction at an angle to the plate surface of the second locking cam 320, thereby greatly reducing the risk of force deformation of the second locking cam 320 and ensuring the reliability of the structural form of the second locking cam 320 and the stability of the locking state.

[0067] Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 8, in some embodiments, in order to maintain the stability of the rotational posture of the second locking cam 320, so that the abutting force between the first locking cam 120 and the first second locking pin 312 is basically parallel to the plate extension direction of the second locking cam 320, the second locking assembly 300 may also include a second support seat 370 and a second locking rod 360, the second support seat 370 is fixed on the door body 21, the second locking rod 360 is rotatably arranged in the second support seat 370, and the second locking cam 320 is fixed on the second locking rod 360, so that the cooperation relationship between the second support seat 370 and the second locking rod 360 can be used to form a stable deflection support structure for maintaining the stability of the deflection posture of the second locking cam 320.

[0068] Accordingly, the number of the second support seats 370 can be set to two or more, so as to support the second locking rod 360 at multiple points of rotation to ensure the stability of its rotation posture; the second locking rod 360 ensures the uniformity of its force under the support limit of multiple second support seats 370, avoiding deformation, swinging and other defects caused by unilateral support, thereby improving the structure of the second locking assembly 300 and the reliability of the locking function.

[0069] Figure 6 shows an enlarged view III of the locked state of the vehicle door locking mechanism in Figure 1; Figure 13 shows an enlarged view IX of the open state of the vehicle door locking mechanism according to some embodiments of the present disclosure; Figure 14 shows an enlarged view X of the open state of the vehicle door locking mechanism according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0070] Referring to Figures 4, 6, 13, and 14, in some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the deflected posture of the second lever 340, the second locking assembly 300 may further include a second lever support 350. The second lever support 350 is disposed on the door body 21, and the second lever 340 is rotatably connected to the second lever support 350 to achieve stable, independent installation and deflection of the second lever 340. Furthermore, this can reduce the need for modification and processing of the door body 21, thereby improving the adaptability of the first locking assembly in installation and implementation.

[0071] Referring to FIG8 , in some embodiments, considering that the second locking assembly 300 is far away from the driving mechanism 200, in order to ensure the stability of the posture and amplitude of the driving of the second locking cam 320, the second locking assembly 300 may further include a connecting rod 380 and a first guide seat 390. The first guide seat 390 can be mounted on the door body, and the connecting rod 380 can be movably set on the first guide seat 390 to stably reciprocate in a set direction. The two ends of the connecting rod 380 are movably connected to the second locking cam 320 and the second connecting rod 330 respectively. Under the constraint of the first guide seat 390, the push-pull direction and amplitude of the second locking cam 320 are stably guaranteed; it can also flexibly adapt to the movement error or assembly error of the second connecting rod 330 to ensure stable and reliable driving of the second locking cam 320.

[0072] In some embodiments, the connection method between the connecting rod 380 and the second locking cam 320 and the second connecting rod 330 can be set to be pivoted, and can be specifically pivoted to the second connecting rod 330 through a first movable joint 381 set at one end of the connecting rod 380, and pivoted to the second locking cam 320 through a second movable joint 382 set at the other end of the connecting rod 380.

[0073] In some embodiments, a pull rod head 331 may be provided at the end of the second connecting rod 330 and pivotally connected to the second lever 340 .

[0074] Figure 5 shows an enlarged view II of the locked state of the vehicle door locking mechanism in Figure 1; Figure 9 shows an enlarged view VI of the locked state of the vehicle door locking mechanism in Figure 1; Figure 15 shows an enlarged view XI of the open state of the vehicle door locking mechanism according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0075] Referring to Figures 2, 5, 6, 9 and 15, in some embodiments, in order to achieve remote indirect driving of the driving mechanism 200 and the second locking assembly 300, the transmission assembly 400 may include a driving gear 410 and a translation link 420, and the driving gear 410 is sleeved on the core shaft 210 and can rotate following the core shaft 210; the translation link 420 is movably arranged on the door body 21 and connected to the second lever 340, and the translation link 420 is provided with a transmission tooth portion 421 arranged along the axial direction of the translation link 420, and the transmission tooth portion 421 can directly engage with the driving gear 410. In the process of the driving gear 410 following the rotation of the core shaft 210, the translation link 420 is driven by the driving gear 410 to move along its axial direction to push and pull the second lever 340 to deflect.

[0076] Due to the meshing transmission of the translation connecting rod 420 and the driving gear 410, the driving mechanism 200 can remotely and synchronously drive the second locking assembly 300 to move when driving the first locking assembly 100, so that the first locking assembly 100 and the second locking assembly 300 can be independently driven by one driving mechanism, thereby ensuring the multi-point and multi-position synchronous locking and unlocking of the door body 21, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle door locking mechanism.

[0077] In some embodiments, in order to adapt to the different movement forms of the translation link 420 and the second lever 340, the transmission assembly 400 may also include a connecting head 450 and a movable link 460. The connecting head 450 is arranged on the translation link 420, and the connecting head 450 is movably connected to one end of the movable link 460, such as a pivot connection, and the other end is movably connected to the second lever 340, such as a pivot connection, so that the greater mobility of the movable link 460 ensures the stable connection and transmission of the translation link 420 and the second lever 340, and can offset the influence of assembly errors.

[0078] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the direction of the translation link 420 and reduce the swing amplitude, the transmission assembly 400 may also include a second guide seat 470, and the second guide seat 470 can be installed on the door body 21. The translation link 420 can be connected to the second guide seat 470 along its axial sliding connection, so that when the driving gear 410 drives the translation link 420 to move, the second lever 340 is pushed and pulled stably to achieve stable and reliable driving of the second locking assembly 300.

[0079] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 400 may further include a transmission screw 440, which has threads on its inner and outer walls. When the transmission screw 440 is sleeved on the translation connecting rod 420, the transmission screw 440 is threadedly connected to the transmission tooth portion 421, and the external thread of the transmission screw 440 is also threadedly connected to the driving gear 410, so that when the driving gear 410 rotates, the transmission screw 440 follows the rotation and applies a force to the transmission tooth portion 421. Since the translation connecting rod 420 cannot rotate, it can only move axially, thereby pushing and pulling the second lever 340.

[0080] In some embodiments, in order to coordinate and avoid the surrounding structure of the driving gear 410, the transmission assembly 400 may also include a driven gear 430, which is engaged with the driving gear 410 and is engaged with the transmission screw 440 or the transmission tooth portion 421, so as to avoid arranging too many structural parts in a smaller area, thereby avoiding an increase in the risk of interference.

[0084] In some embodiments, in order to achieve stable sliding of the door body 21 , a sliding wheel set 540 may be connected to the door body 21 and matched with the sliding arrangement on the first slide rail 550 .

[0085] In order to ensure that the door body 21 is smoothly embedded in the door frame, a door pivot rod 510 and a first crank 530 and a second crank 520 connected to both ends of the door pivot rod 510 can be provided on the door body 21. The door pivot rod 510 is rotatably connected to the door body; one end of the first crank 530 is pivotally connected to the sliding wheel assembly 540, and the other end is fixed to the door pivot rod 510; one end of the second crank 520 is fixed to the door pivot rod 510, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second slide rail 560. Therefore, when the door body 21 slides to align with the door frame 22, the door pivot rod 510 can be rotated to allow the door body 21 to move closer to the door frame 22 or move away from the door frame 22.

[0086] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate operation, a handle or other structure may be provided on the door pivot rod 510 to facilitate operation.

[0087] In some embodiments, in order to reduce occupied space, the door pivot rod 510 can be rotatably disposed within the first support seat 170 and the second support seat 370 .
