Detailed Description

In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention may be embodied in many other forms different from those described herein and similar modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and, therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, there is provided a door lock 10 including a latch 11 and two sliders 12.

At least one of the two slides 12 is slidable relative to the other in the direction of the spacing therebetween. Specifically, the slide member 12 is in a stationary state, and the other slide member 12 is movable back and forth in the direction of moving away from and moving closer to the other slide member 12 in the stationary state; alternatively, two sliding members 12 are provided to slide, and the two sliding members 12 can move back and forth in the directions approaching and departing from each other at the same time.

The bolt 11 can be inserted into a locking notch 122 formed by two sliders 12 at intervals, and the sliders 12 can limit and prevent the bolt 11 from exiting the locking notch 122 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction.

As shown in fig. 1, when the sliding member 12 is in the locked state, the sliding member 12 prevents the bolt 11 from being withdrawn from the locking notch 122, so that the door lock 10 can be reliably in the locked state. The pulling force required to forcibly pull the latch bolt 11 out of the locking notch 122 is large.

Based on this, further as shown in fig. 1 to 3, in an embodiment a door lock 10 is provided, said door lock 10 further comprising a pushing means 13. The pushing device 13 acts directly or indirectly between the two sliding pieces 12, and is used for pushing at least one sliding piece 12 away from the other sliding piece 12, so that the distance between the two sliding pieces 12 can satisfy the position where the lock tongue 11 exits the lock notch 122.

When only one of the sliding members 12 is movable, the pushing device 13 can push the sliding member 12 away from the other sliding member 12. When both the sliders 12 are movable, the pushing device 13 pushes both the sliders 12 away from each other at the same time.

When the door needs to be opened, as shown in fig. 2, the pushing device 13 pushes the sliding pieces 12 to slide, so that the distance between the two sliding pieces 12 is increased, the requirement that the lock tongue 11 exits from the locking notch 122 is met, and then the lock tongue 11 can exit more smoothly. The bolt 11 does not need to be pulled forcibly when the locking notch 122 is small, but the bolt 11 is taken out of the locking notch 122 when the locking notch 122 is large enough, so that the force required for opening the door is small.

Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 to fig. 3, when the latch 11 is stopped by the sliding element 12 and cannot exit the locking notch 122, the sliding element 12 is stopped in the exiting direction of the part of the structure of the latch 11, and the part of the structure of the latch 11 is the stopping portion 111.

As shown in fig. 1, when the two sliders 12 are in a locked state, the minimum width of the locking notch 122 is smaller than the maximum width of the retaining portion 111 of the lock tongue 11. Therefore, the two sliding members 12 can provide an increased force for the bolt 11 to prevent the bolt from exiting the locking notch 122, so that the door lock 10 is more firmly locked.

When the door needs to be opened, as shown in fig. 2, the pushing device 13 can push at least one of the sliders 12 away from the other slider 12 to a position where the minimum width of the locking notch 122 is not less than the maximum width of the retaining portion 111.

When the distance between the two sliding members 12 satisfies that the minimum width of the locking notch 122 is not less than the maximum width of the retaining portion 111, the bolt 11 can be smoothly withdrawn from the locking notch 122.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the surface of the sliding member 12 opposite to the other sliding member 12 is a first inclined surface 121, so that the width of the locking notch 122 is gradually reduced in the insertion direction of the locking tongue 11 into the locking notch 122.

When the locking tongue 11 is inserted into the locking notch 122, the part which enters the locking notch 122 first is the front end, and the width of the front end of the locking tongue 11 in the insertion direction is gradually reduced. In other words, the width of the portion of the latch 11 that is first inserted into the locking notch 122 is the smallest. The retaining portion 111 includes a front end of the latch bolt 11.

When the two sliding members 12 are in the unlocked state, the bolt 11 can exit the locking notch 122 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction.

As shown in fig. 5, the control method includes the steps of:

the position where the lock tongue 11 is inserted into the lock notch 122 and is limited by the sliding piece 12 to prevent the lock tongue 11 from exiting the lock notch 122 is a first position, and whether the lock tongue 11 is in the first position is judged;

judging whether the two sliding parts 12 are in a locking state;

when the lock tongue 11 is in the first position and the two sliders 12 are in the locked state, controlling the washing device 20 to be in a washable state;

when the lock tongue 11 is not in the first position and/or the two sliders 12 are not in the locked state, the washing apparatus 20 is controlled to be in the non-washing state.

It is understood that the washing apparatus 20 is in the washable state only when the locking tongue 11 is in the first position and both of the sliders 12 are in the locked state, both conditions being satisfied. Once the slider 12 is moved out of the locked state and/or the latch bolt 11 exits the first position, the washing apparatus 20 is in a non-washable state and the washing apparatus 20 stops the washing process. However, when the door lock 10 is to be opened, firstly the sliding element 12 is moved into the unlocked state and secondly the bolt 11 is pulled out again. Once the sliding member 12 is not in the locked state, the washing device 20 is immediately adjusted to a non-washing state, and at this moment, the latch 11 is not completely pulled out of the locking notch 122, so that a certain reaction time is given to a washing device in the washing device 20, and the use safety is further improved.

Further, the control method of the washing apparatus 20 may be used in the washing apparatus 20 described in any of the above embodiments.

In some embodiments, the determining whether the lock tongue 11 is in the first position specifically includes the following steps:

and judging whether the bolt 11 is located at the first position according to the detection result of the first sensing piece 16.

The step of judging whether the two sliding members 12 are in the locking state specifically includes the following steps:

and judging whether the two sliding parts 12 are in a locking state or not according to the detection result of the second sensing part 17.

When the second sensing member 17 detects that the sliding member 12 is not in a position capable of limiting and preventing the bolt 11 from exiting the locking notch 122, the two sliding members 12 are not in a locked state. And on the contrary, the two sliding parts on the surface are in a locking state.

The control unit of the washing device 20 controls the start and stop of the washing process according to the detection results of the first sensing element 16 and the second sensing element 17.
