Description

    Technical Field
  • The utility model is related to anti-theft locks, and it specifically involves in a new type of lock cylinder and lockset.
  • Background technology
  • The traditional security door lock cylinder is easy to be unlocked by using powerful unlocking tools, and it is also easy to be drilled by electric drill, because pins are used to lock the barrel of the lock cylinder, and the barrel is directly connected with the latch. When the barrel encounters a strong torsion, the pins will be destroyed, and then the barrel will be rotated, so it drives the latch to rotate and the door lock will be unlocked. In addition, the reason why traditional security door lock cylinder is easy to be unlocked by electric drill is because the rotating barrel is locked by the pins, and when the electric drill drills the rotating barrel, it's easy to force, and the rotating barrel is easily damaged. Therefore, traditional security door lock cylinder cannot effectively prevent prying and impact, so the inventor has developed a lock shown in patent: CN201610199496.9 , which is an improved lock cylinder mechanism. It cooperates with the spring, external cam flange and two locking pieces to achieve the effect of being harder to pick or force, but there are also some problems in actual use and assembly, and it needs certain skills when installing each locking piece and axle sleeve, so it is impossible to achieve the actual production effect in the rapid fabrication and production process. CN 102606004 A discloses a lock cylinder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • According to the present invention, there is provided a new lock cylinder, including: a connection member, and the fixing sleeve set on the extension of the said connection member; a lock cylinder mechanism, including an unlocking cam set in the back of the fixing sleeve, and the unlocking cam having a slip connection with the fixing sleeve. There is an axle sleeve in the said unlocking cam, and there is a connection shaft in the said unlocking cam. The front end of the said connection shaft extends through the fixing sleeve, and the rear end of the connection shaft features limit through-holes, the limit through-holes including an elastic part within, there being balls on both end of the elastic part, and a stop collar in the limit through-hole corresponding to the said connection shaft.
  • Further, there is a flange in the middle of the connection shaft, and the said connection shaft forms a lock-out cavity through the flange part and axle sleeve. The said connection shaft is set in the middle of the unlocking cam between the stop collar, axle sleeve and flange activities.
  • Further, there is a transmission block in the end of the connection shaft, and there is a cavity in the internal of the said transmission block. There is a compression spring in the said cavity, and there are top bolts on the said compression spring, and the said top bolts are contacted with the connection shaft.
  • Also, the invention provides a lock device, including front lock shell, rear lock shell and new lock cylinder. The new lock cylinder is the one described above.
  • When considering the technical scheme of the lock set, at the initial state, there is a lock shell on the front and back end of the connection member, and normally, when the key is inserted into the lock shell and rotated, the correct aligns the pins and then the lock will be unlocked. But when it is unlocked by force outside the door, as shown in figure, the lock shell on the outside of the door will loosen and detach, so that there is no obstacle in the front of the connection shaft, and the top bolt in the back of the connection shaft pushes the connection shaft forward due to the action of internal compression spring. The limit through-hole of the connection shaft moves away from the position of the stop collar, so there is vacancy both in upper and lower space, and at the same time, the elastic part set up in the limit through-hole pushes out the balls, so that the connection shaft cannot be connected to the transmission block. Because the lock-out cavity is occupied by the balls, the connection shaft cannot be pushed towards the inside, so that the lock cylinder mechanism provided by the utility model performs the anti-force and anti-theft role.
  • Therefore, the utility model has a number of characteristics, such as simple structure, easy fabrication and strong rigidity. At the same time, the new type of lock cylinder provided by the utility model is easy to manufacture, convenient to assemble, and it is stable in structure and durable in use.
  • In addition to the purposes, features and advantages described above, the utility model has other purposes, features and advantages. The utility model is described in more detail with reference to the figure below.
