Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To relieve impact applied to a locking/releasing means by arranging a housing chamber having a locking means and a floor surface having inclined balls in a main body and a bearing hole of a vertically long hole for installing a shaft of a locking tool, the locking/releasing means and a releasing means in a hinged door. SOLUTION: In a housing chamber 2 of a device main body 1, a floor surface is formed as an inclined face 2b, and in a state of raising a vertically movable columnar locking means 3, a stopper 3a stops a movement of two balls 4 in the housing chamber 2. While, a locking tool 5 for locking the lower end of the locking means 3 is fixed to a hinged door 91, and a locking/releasing means 6 is arranged. When both two pieces slip out since balls 4 vibrate at an earthquake, the locking means 3 falls on the locking tool 5, and since a locking part 3b is sandwiched between a locking tool tip part 5c and a tip part 6a of a releasing means 6, an opening directional movement of the hinged door 91 stops to prevent release of a housing material. When pushing the hinged door 91, the tip part 6a smoothly pushes up the locking part 3b, and at this time, since the releasing means 6 is supported by a bearing hole 5d of a vertically long hole so as to enable a shock absorbing movement, impact applied to the locking means 3 and the releasing means 6 can be released even at strongly pushing time.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a swing door locking device according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 to 6 show a lock device according to the present invention, wherein the lock device is furniture,
It has an apparatus main body (1) fixed to a main body (90) of a storage body with a hinged door such as a hanging cabinet. The apparatus main body (1) has a storage room (2), and the floor surface of the storage room (2) is a locking means (3).
An inclined surface (2b) inclined toward (described later).
The plane shape of the inclined surface (2b) of the illustrated main body (90) is a circle, but the position of the locking means (3) is eccentric from the center of the circle, so that the locking means (3) can be disposed forward. That is because the whole can be reduced. Locking means (3)
Is vertically movable on its axis (3c).
It is a column-shaped member supported by the robot and can be lowered by gravity. The locking means (3) is stopped at its stopper (3a) by two balls (4). As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the two balls (4) are stored in the storage chamber (2) by partitions (2d) so as not to interfere with each other. As can be seen from FIG. 3, each partitioned ball chamber has a side wall of the partition (2d) inclined and the ball (4) is separated from the inner wall surface of the storage chamber (2) in a stable position. This makes the sphere (4) easier to move in the lateral direction (more easily to move in the lateral direction), and the sensitivity to the lateral direction is increased. Next, the lower end of the shaft (3c) of the locking means (3) is formed into a flange-shaped locking portion (3b) and can be locked to a locking tool (5) (described later) of the hinged door (91). Further, the apparatus main body (1) has a lid (2c) in the illustrated embodiment to facilitate handling up to assembly and installation. Next, a locking tool (5) fixed to the hinged door (91) is provided, and the locking tool (5) is provided with a locking tool main part (5a) positioned below the locking means (3). Have. A release means (6) is rotatably supported by a shaft (8) and receives a force of a spring (7), which is a torsion coil spring, on the locking tool main part (5a). The release means (6) is shown in FIG.
In order to grasp the locking means (3) as shown in FIG.
a) is formed in a V-shape, and its base (6b) is attached to a bearing hole (5d) which is a long hole above and below the locking member (5) so as to be capable of both buffering and rotating movement. Next, the tip of the locking tool (5) is raised as a locking tool tip (5c) and is positioned between the locking tool (3) and the releasing means (6).
Is sandwiched. The front surface of the locking tool tip (5c) and the side surface (in the case where the locking tool (5) hits the locking means (3) obliquely) are directed upward as shown in FIGS. The locking means (3), which has a reduced slope and is lowered by malfunction, can be pushed up by the movement of the opening door (91) in the closing direction. The operation of the locking device for the hinged door according to the present invention shown in the above embodiment is as follows. That is, FIG.
Is a standby state of the lock device of the present invention, and the locking means (3)
Is at rest in a lifted state. Locking means (3)
The stopper (3a) hits the two balls (4), and the locking means (3) stops moving (stops descending due to gravity). Since the inclined surface (2b) of the storage chamber (2) is not a simple mortar-shaped inclined surface but a curved inclined surface, the stable position of the ball (4) is away from the axis (3c) of the locking means (3). It has become. By moving the ball (4) away from the shaft (3c) in this way, the impact accompanying opening and closing of the hinged door (91) is not transmitted to the ball (4), which is effective in preventing malfunction. However, two balls (4)
In the case where the prevention of malfunction is sufficiently achieved by using the individual pieces (for example, the inclination of the inclined surface (2b), the inclination of the stopper (3a), the outer diameter of the sphere (4), the material of the device body (1), the locking means ( In (3) determined by the material and the like, there is no practical problem even if the sphere (4) is not separated from the axis (3c). In the state shown in FIG. 1, the lock (5) of the hinged door (91) does not hit the locking means (3), so that the hinged door (91) can be freely opened and closed. Next, during an earthquake, the sphere (4) vibrates as shown in FIG.
When the amount of movement increases contrary to b), the two balls (4) come off the stopper (3a) and the locking means (3) descends by gravity. That is, the locking means (3) falls to the locking tool (5), while the hinged door (91) tries to open with a swinging force. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the locking part (3b) of the locking means (3) is the tip part (5c) of the locking tool (5).
And the tip (6a) of the release means (6).
In this state, the movement of the hinged door (91) in the opening direction is stopped at the stopper tip (5c) as shown in FIG. The stop state of the hinged door (91) is a state in which the hinged door (91) slightly has a gap between itself and the main body (90) in the opening direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the swing door (91) is returned and stopped at the tip (6a) of the release means (6) with respect to the movement of the swing door (91) in the closing direction for each wave of the shaking of the earthquake. That is, the hinged door (91) is opened and stopped with a slight gap, and the discharge of the stored items from the main body (90) of the storage body with the hinged door is prevented. Next, when the earthquake ends, the user opens the door with the gap shown in FIG.
Press 1). As a result, the tip (6) of the release means (6)
a) is a locking portion (3b) of the locking means (3) as shown in FIG.
Push up. The pushing up of the locking means (3) is performed smoothly by the rotation of the releasing means (6) about its base (6b). The release means (6) is supported up and down by the elongated bearing hole (5d) so that the buffering movement can be performed. The applied shock is reduced. When the locking means (3) is pushed up beyond a certain level, the two balls (4) enter below the stopper (3a) of the locking means (3) according to the inclined surface (2b) as shown in FIG. The locking means (3) returns to the state of FIG.

[0006]

The embodiments of the locking device of the swing door according to the present invention during an earthquake are as described above, and the effects thereof are listed below. (1) In the lock device for a hinged door according to the present invention, in particular, the release means is supported up and down by a long bearing hole, so that the shock applied to the locking means and the release means is reduced even when the release means is strongly pressed at the time of release. . (2) The locking device of the present invention for a hinged door in the event of an earthquake, in particular, has a good earthquake detection sensitivity because the ball is disengaged by a shaking force to perform a locking operation.
