Unless otherwise indicated, the exemplary implementations/embodiments shown are to be understood as providing exemplary features of various details of some ways in which the technical concepts of the present disclosure may be practiced. Thus, unless otherwise indicated, features of the various implementations/embodiments may be additionally combined, separated, interchanged, and/or rearranged without departing from the technical concepts of the present disclosure.

The use of cross-hatching and/or shading in the drawings is typically used to clarify the boundaries between adjacent components. As such, the presence or absence of cross-hatching or shading does not convey or represent any preference or requirement for a particular material, material property, dimension, proportion, commonality between illustrated components, and/or any other characteristic, attribute, property, etc. of a component, unless indicated. In addition, in the drawings, the size and relative sizes of elements may be exaggerated for clarity and/or descriptive purposes. While the exemplary embodiments may be variously implemented, the specific process sequences may be performed in a different order than that described. For example, two consecutively described processes may be performed substantially simultaneously or in reverse order from that described. Moreover, like reference numerals designate like parts.

When an element is referred to as being "on" or "over", "connected to" or "coupled to" another element, it can be directly on, connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present. However, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element, there are no intervening elements present. For this reason, the term "connected" may refer to physical connections, electrical connections, and the like, with or without intermediate components.

When the latch 101 is moved away from the main closing position, the clutch actuator 601 is moved away from the operating position by the clutch drive spring 604, thereby disengaging the clutch actuator hook 6011 from engagement with the electric release lever 401. The clutch drive second feature 6022 is used to engage the clutch drive spring 604. The clutch actuator third feature 6023 is configured to cooperate with the clutch actuator tab feature 6012 to drive the clutch actuator 601 out of or into the operative position.

Referring to fig. 16, a cover plate 800 of the electric actuation lock device 1000 of the present disclosure is provided with a cover plate first feature 8001 and a cover plate second feature 8002.

The cover first feature 8001 is used to be clamped in the housing 701 to enhance the strength of the housing 701. The cover plate second feature 8002 is used to provide a snap-fit structure for the cable of the lift and close assembly 500, transmitting the power and motion of the electric actuator to the lift and close assembly 500.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electric actuation lock device 1000 of the present disclosure further includes a first electric actuator, a driving force of which can be transmitted to the electric release lever 401, such that the electric release lever 401 can actuate the pawl 201 out of engagement with the latch tongue 101, thereby achieving electric unlocking of the electric actuation lock device 1000.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electric actuation lock device 1000 of the present disclosure further includes a second electric actuator, a driving force of the second electric actuator can be transmitted to the lifter 501, the lifter 501 drives the actuation member 502 to move, and when the latch tongue 101 can move toward the main closing position, the actuation member 502 can be engaged with the latch tongue 101, so as to implement electric actuation of the locking device.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first and second electric actuators may be the same actuator.

Wherein the motorized release lever 401 of the present disclosure may be connected to the first motorized actuator described above by a bowden cable. The actuation member 502 may be coupled to the second electric actuator via a bowden cable. Preferably, the bowden cable interface of the electric release lever 401 and the bowden cable interface of the actuation member 502 are arranged on the same side of the locking device.

The first electric actuator and the second electric actuator may adopt electric actuators in chinese patent CN202010283886.0, chinese patent CN202020530719.7, chinese patent CN202111476814.9 or other similar structures, which are not described in detail in this disclosure.

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first electric actuator, the second electric actuator, and the electric actuation lock device 1000 may be integrated as one piece, thereby reducing costs.

Fig. 17 to 24 are schematic views of an electric release process of the electric suction lock device 1000 of one embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 17 and 18, the tongue 101 of the electric actuation lock device 1000 of the present disclosure is in the main closed position and the pawl 201 is in the main locking position. Both latch bolt assembly signaling device 702 and pawl assembly signaling device 703 are in an unactuated state. The motorized release lever 401 is not in the actuated position.

Referring to fig. 19, when the release assembly 400 is first operated to the actuated position, the motorized release lever 401 pushes the pawl 201 out of the primary locking position. Because of the constraint of the clutch actuator hook 6011, the electric release lever 401 can only push the pawl 201 to the secondary locking position, at this time, under the action of the lifter 501, the lifter 501 drives the engaging member 502 to move, the engaging member 502 drives the latch 101, and the latch 101 moves toward the secondary closing position, so as to push the latch to move toward the opening direction. Since the pawl 201 is in the secondary locking position, the deadbolt 101 is locked in the secondary closed position by the pawl 201, as shown in fig. 20, when the pawl assembly signaling device 703 is activated, indicating that the electric actuation lock device 1000 has been unlocked.

Referring to fig. 21, when the power release lever 401 is released, the power release lever 401 will return to the initial position (i.e., the non-actuated position) under the influence of the release assembly spring 403, and as the latch 101 moves away from the main closed position, the latch 101 (latch fourth feature 1014) releases the constraint on the clutch driver 602 (clutch driver first feature 6021), and under the influence of the clutch driver spring 604 and the clutch return spring 603, the clutch actuator 601 moves away from the operating position (the clutch actuator 601 will rotate clockwise under the influence of the clutch driver 602 in fig. 21), thereby causing the clutch actuator hook 6011 to release the constraint on the power release lever 401. When the electric release lever 401 is operated again, since the clutch actuator hook 6011 releases the restraint on the electric release lever 401, the electric release lever 401 can push the pawl 201 from the sub-lock position to the unlock position so that the latch tongue 101 can move from the sub-close position toward the open position as shown in fig. 22.

As shown in fig. 22 and 23, when the pawl 201 is pushed to the unlock position, the tongue 101 can move from the sub-close position toward the open position. At this time, under the action of the lifter 501, the latch tongue 101 moves toward the opening position, thereby pushing the shackle to move toward the opening direction. When the lifter flange feature 5014 contacts the housing second feature 7012, the lifter 501 is restrained and no longer pushes the shackle in the opening direction, at which time the latch bolt assembly signaling device 702 remains unactuated, indicating that the latch bolt 101 is not in the fully open position.

As shown in fig. 24, when the shackle is pushed by an external force and drives the latch 101 to the fully opened position, the latch assembly signaling device 702 is triggered, indicating that the latch 101 reaches the fully opened position. At this time, the electric suction lock device 1000 is in the fully opened state.

Fig. 25 to 30 are schematic views of an electric actuation process of the electric actuation lock device 1000 of one embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 25, when the shackle moves downward, the shackle will push the locking bolt 101 from the open position to the secondary closed position until the shackle contacts the lifter 501, the bolt assembly signaling device 702 is triggered, at which time the electric actuator begins to move under the control of the vehicle controller, pulling the lifter 501 to move toward the primary closed position.

As shown in fig. 26, the engaging member 502 moves with the lifting member 501, and when the engaging member 502 moves to the point where the engaging member second feature 5022 is out of engagement with the housing first feature 7011, the engaging member 502 moves in a direction to lock into the third feature 1013 under the influence of the engaging member spring 504.

As shown in fig. 27, when the latch 101 is blocked by an obstacle (e.g., a hand) and cannot fall under the action of gravity, the first feature 5021 of the engaging member cannot lock into the third feature 1013 of the latch, so that the lifter 501 cannot push the latch 101 to move toward the main closing position, thereby realizing the anti-pinch of the obstacle.

As shown in fig. 28, when the latch 101 can fall under the force of gravity, the actuation member first feature 5021 can lock into the latch third feature 1013 such that the lifter 501 can push the latch 101 toward the main closed position to effect the electric actuation.

As shown in fig. 29 and 30, as the deadbolt 101 is pushed to the main closed position, the pawl 201 can enter the main latched position and the pawl assembly signaling device 703 is released, thereby fully locking the power operated actuation lock device 1000. At the same time, the latch fourth feature 1014 actuates the clutch driver first feature 6021 such that the clutch driver 602 brings the clutch actuator 601 into the operating position such that the clutch actuator hook 6011 can again constrain the travel of the electric release lever 401.

Fig. 31 to 33 are schematic views of a mechanical unlocking process of the electric suction lock device 1000 of one embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 31 to 33, when the mechanical release lever 402 moves in the operation direction 1 or the operation direction 2, the mechanical release lever 402 pushes the electric unlocking lever 401 to move together, so that the mechanical unlocking of the electric suction lock device 1000 can be achieved after the same action as the electric unlocking is performed. At the same time, the mechanical release lever second feature 4022 pushes the engaging member second feature 5022 to disengage the engaging member first feature 5021 from the latch tongue 101, thereby disengaging the engaging member 502 from the latch tongue 101, so that the electric engaging lock device 1000 can be mechanically released by the mechanical release lever 402 even in special cases such as power failure of the electric actuator during the engaging process, as shown in fig. 32 and 33.

34-42, the technical scheme of the electric actuation lock device described above is adjusted, and the present disclosure also provides an electric actuation lock device according to the following technical scheme, and it should be noted that the structures, which are not described in detail below, of the latch bolt assembly 100 and its subcomponents, the pawl assembly 200 and its subcomponents, the release assembly 400 and its subcomponents, the lifting actuation assembly 500 and its subcomponents, the clutch assembly 600 and its subcomponents, and the like, described above, may also be used in the electric actuation lock device described below, and the following emphasis is placed on the matters related to the technical scheme adjustment.

Referring to fig. 1-42, and particularly fig. 34-42, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a powered actuation lock device 1000 of the present disclosure includes:

the lock tongue 101, the lock tongue 101 has a first locking position 1011 and a second locking position 1012, based on the first locking position 1011 and the second locking position 1012, the lock tongue 101 can move between a main closing position, a sub closing position and an opening position;

a pawl 201, the pawl 201 being movable between a primary locking position, a secondary locking position and an unlocking position; in the main locking position, the pawl 201 engages with the first locking position 1011 of the locking bolt 101, locking the locking bolt 101 in the main closed position; in the secondary locking position, the pawl 201 engages with the second locking position 1012 of the locking bolt 101, locking the locking bolt 101 in the secondary closed position;

The bottom plate 300, the lock tongue 101 and the pawl 201 are rotatably arranged on the bottom plate 300;

a lifter 501 (i.e., a jack lever), the lifter 501 pushing the latch tongue 101 to move from the main closed position to the open position via the shackle when the latch tongue 101 is released by the pawl 201;

the actuation member 502, the actuation member 502 being capable of actuating the locking bolt 101 from the secondary closed position towards the primary closed position.

In the locking process, the lifter 501 is driven before the latch bolt 101, the to-be-lifted member 501 is driven to a lifter preset position (fig. 35), the latch bolt 101 is driven to move to the secondary closing position, and the engaging member 502 drives the latch bolt 101 reaching the secondary closing position to drive the latch bolt 101 to the primary closing position.

In the solution of the present embodiment, by arranging the lifter 501 to be driven to the lifter predetermined position prior to the latch bolt 101, the driving force required for the latch bolt 101 to be driven to the sub-closing position (i.e., the position waiting for actuation) can be reduced, thereby increasing the reliability of the electric actuation lock device 1000. Wherein the locking bolt 101 can be actuated by the shackle to move from the open position to the secondary closed position.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the control circuit board of the electric actuation lock device 1000 receives a locking signal (the locking signal may be generated from a key fob or based on the triggering of a trigger button of an automobile front cover), the shackle drives the locking bolt 101 under the driving force (i.e., an external force) from the motor, so that the locking bolt 101 moves from the open position to the sub-closed position (the state shown in fig. 36).

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the external force that drives the striker described above may be a mechanical operating force, such as the front vehicle cover (front hatch) being subjected to a pressing operating force that drives the striker, thereby the striker drives the tongue 101 and moves the tongue to the sub-closed position.

Further, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electric actuation lock device 1000 further includes: the lifter position switch 505, when the lifter 501 is driven to the lifter predetermined position, the lifter 501 triggers the lifter position switch 505 to generate a signal indicating that the lifter 501 has moved to the lifter predetermined position (refer to fig. 35).

The power actuation lock device of this embodiment eliminates the latch assembly signaling device 703 described above by configuring the pawl first switch 7031 to indicate movement of the latch bolt 101 to the secondary closed position (i.e., the half-lock position). The pawl first switch 7031 can accurately indicate movement of the locking bolt 101 to the secondary closed position.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, based on the signal generated by the pawl first switch 7031 indicating that the latch 101 has moved to the secondary closed position, the lifter 501 is continuously driven by the lifter predetermined position to drive the actuation member 502 to drive the latch 101, so that the latch 101 moves from the secondary closed position to the primary closed position (full-lock position) (refer to fig. 37).

Further, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electric actuation lock device 1000 further includes: when the latch tongue 101 moves to the main closing position, the pawl 201 rotates under the pushing of the latch tongue 101 and triggers the pawl second switch 7032 (refer to fig. 37, the pawl 201 releases the pawl second switch 7032) to generate a signal indicating that the latch tongue 101 has moved to the main closing position. Thus, the electric suction is completed, and the locking process is completed.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electric actuation lock device 1000 of the present disclosure further includes: the engaging member spring 504, the engaging member spring 504 is capable of loading the engaging member 502 with an elastic force such that the engaging member 502 has a tendency to move in a direction of engagement with the tongue 101.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electric actuation lock device 1000 of the present disclosure further includes: a lifter spring 503, the lifter spring 503 being capable of loading the lifter 501 with an elastic force such that the lifter 501 is capable of driving the shackle to lift the tongue 101 via the shackle such that the tongue 101 moves from the main closed position to the open position.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the lifting surface 5011 of the lifter 501 is higher than the lower edge of the mouth of the tongue 101 (i.e., the tongue mouth second edge 1017, fig. 33 shows the tongue mouth first edge 1016 and the tongue mouth second edge 1017) before the tongue 101 reaches the secondary closed position during the tongue 101 is driven to move from the open position to the secondary closed position, such that during the tongue 101 is driven to move from the open position to the secondary closed position, the shackle contacts the lifting surface 5011 of the lifter 501 before contacting the lower edge of the mouth of the tongue 101 to drive the tongue 101 to the secondary closed position.

Through the above-mentioned structural design, in the unblock process, the lifter 501 can promote the hasp based on the effect of lifter spring 503, with electronic actuation lock device 1000 by half-lock state (spring bolt in secondary closed position) operation to open state (spring bolt in open position). This structural design eliminates the need for a snow load mechanism (e.g., the snow load unit in chinese patent CN 202010423903.6) that is required to be deployed in existing lock arrangements.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the status signals of the locking bolt 101 in the primary and secondary closed positions are generated by the pawl 201 triggering the respective switches (pawl first switch 7031, pawl second switch 7032).

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the lifter 501 has a lifter switch trigger structure 5016, and the lifter 501 triggers the lifter position switch 505 based on the lifter switch trigger structure 5016.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the lifter switch trigger structure 5016 is a protruding structure such that the signal state of the lifter position switch 505 when the tongue 101 is in the open position and when the tongue 101 is in the main closed position is the same.

Referring to fig. 34, the present disclosure preferably designs the lifter switch trigger structure 5016 to be a protruding structure, i.e., protruding in an outward direction from the rotation center of the lifter 501, such that the state signal of the lifter position switch 505 is a first state signal before the lifter 501 is operated (when the latch bolt is in the open position) during the locking of the electric suction lock device 1000, and the state signal of the lifter position switch 505 is inverted to a second state signal and then to the first state signal during the lifter 501 is operated to the lifter predetermined position, and the state signal of the lifter position switch 505 is the first state signal when the lifter 501 is in the lifter predetermined position, and the lifter 501 continues to be operated, and the state signal of the lifter position switch 505 is still the first state signal when the latch bolt 101 is operated to the main closed position.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the contact surface of the lifter switch trigger structure 5016 with the lifter position switch 505 is coated with a flexible material (e.g., a plastic material) and the lifting surface 5011 is coated with a flexible material (e.g., a plastic material).

Fig. 39 also shows an emergency release wire 405 via which the mechanical unlocking lever 401 can be operated. Fig. 39 also shows a harness plug assembly 902, via which harness plug assembly 902 the status signals of the various switches described above may be transmitted to an actuation/release actuator or a control circuit board described above, which may be disposed within the actuation/release actuator.

The above described electric attraction lock device 1000 of the present disclosure, the electric attraction lock device 1000 has and has only one pawl 201.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the radius of engagement of the locking bolt 101 in the primary closed position is less than the radius of engagement of the locking bolt 101 in the secondary closed position. The engagement radius is the distance from the rotation center of the lock tongue to the first locking position/the second locking position.

The present disclosure also provides a motor vehicle lock comprising: the electric actuation lock device 1000 of any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure; and a shackle, which cooperates with the locking tongue 101 to perform a locking function.
