Description

  The present invention relates to a lock such as a mechanical lock and an electric lock that can be opened and closed mechanically.

  Patent Document 1 describes an electric lock as an example of a lock. In general, this type of electric lock is generally provided with a locking / unlocking mechanism that can be electrically opened and closed, and at the same time mechanically opened and closed by an operating force of an operating member such as a key lock or thumb turn knob.

  Conventionally, for example, a problem to be solved with an electric lock is that when a side pressure is applied to a so-called dead bolt, the dead bolt does not completely protrude from the lock box.

  However, regarding the locking / unlocking mechanism of the electric lock (the mechanism that controls the dead bolt's appearance), it is a general idea to rely on the control of the control unit (information on the electric circuit and storage unit), so as a drive source This is because it was thought that both an electric motor and a mechanically openable / closable cylinder lock were sufficient.

  In addition, since it was thought that the dharma (dead cam) could be rotated by either the electric motor or the cylinder lock, the extra mechanical drive source for driving the dharma was placed in the lock box. There was no need to install.

  Therefore, for example, when the deadbolt is moving from the unlocked state to the locked state and a side pressure is applied to the deadbolt from the lock box side, the deadbolt does not completely protrude from the lock box. A situation has arisen, and it is currently desired to solve such problems.

  In addition, the above-mentioned problem is the same in mechanical locks that can be opened and closed only by the operating force of an operating member such as a general common key or thumb turn knob, and the side pressure is applied to the dead bolt or when the side pressure is applied to the dead bolt. In any case where it does not take, it is desired to improve the operability of the operation member.

  In particular, in recent years, from the viewpoint of barrier-free operation, only the initial rotation operation (for example, slightly twisting) can be performed without operating the operating member from the unlocked position to the locked position (within the entire rotation range) while picking the knob. Therefore, it is expected that the dharma (dead cam) automatically rotates, and as a result, the dead bolt automatically protrudes completely.

JP-A-6-108716

  The intended purpose of the present invention is to improve the operability of the operating member in the locking direction at least when automatically locking, or to allow the dead bolt to move smoothly even when a lateral pressure is applied to the dead bolt. In order to achieve any of the above, dead bolts are inadequate when unlocking the lock based on the fact that the urging means as a power source in the automatic locking direction for Dharma is arranged in the lock box. It is to provide a dead bolt immersion state holding device including a lock mechanism so as not to jump out of the lock box. The second purpose is that the urging means as a power source always operates in a stable state, effectively utilizes the space in the lock box, and is locked in the initial operation of manual operation. The bolt automatically protrudes completely by the urging force of the urging means as a power source, and the dead bolt can be locked by a simple mechanism.

  The lock of the present invention includes a lock member including a sliding member that holds the dead bolt in the locked state, a stopper lever for the sliding member, a dharma that is locked to the lock mechanism, and the lock box side. And a biasing means as a power source with one end attached to the other side and the other end attached to the Dharma side, and the dead is completely protruded from the lock box by the biasing force of the biasing means Sometimes, when the dharma is inserted into the lock box against the urging force of the urging means while rotating the operation member, the sliding member is locked when the rack plate is engaged with the dharma. The sliding member that is displaced from the position to the unlocking position and is displaced is automatically locked by the stopper lever.

  In the above configuration, at the time of unlocking, the lock mechanism is unlocked by the initial power by the operation start by the operation member, and thereafter, the dharma is automatically rotated in the locking direction by the biasing force of the biasing means. The dead dead also automatically protrudes completely from the lock box. Further, the sliding member is characterized by reciprocating between the inner surface of the front wall of the lock box and the inner surface of the rear wall of the lock box while being guided by the inclined guide portion. Further, the urging means includes a torsion coil spring and a movable spring guide that supports the spiral central portion of the torsion coil spring with a horizontal column. In addition, the upper end of the operating arm 14A is pivotally supported by the dharma, while the lower end of the operating arm is a recumbent guide that is guided directly or indirectly to the guide notch 20A provided on the lock box side. The dead stopper 19A is attached, and the dead stopper is guided by the guide notch portion to lock the rear end face of the dead bolt when the dead bolt is fully protruded by the urging force of the urging means. It is characterized by.

(1) At the time of locking, based on the matter that the urging means as a power source for Dharma is arranged in the lock box, when the lock is unlocked, the dead bolt will not pop out of the lock box inadvertently. can do.
(2) In the invention according to claim 2, when the unlocking state is released to the lock mechanism by the initial power generated by the operation start by the operation member, the dharma is automatically locked by the urging force of the urging means. Since the dead also automatically protrudes completely from the lock box, it becomes a “countermeasure against side pressure”. Also, if the lock is an ordinary general mechanical lock, The demand can be fully satisfied.
(3) The invention described in claim 3 can effectively utilize the space in the lock box.
(4) In the invention according to claim 4, the urging means as the power source always operates in a stable state.
(5) Since the dead stopper is attached to the lower end portion of the operating arm interlocked with the dharma, the invention according to claim 5 locks the dead bolt with a simple mechanism when locking the dead bolt completely protruding. Can do.

In addition, in this embodiment, one end of the drive link 5 is pivotally supported by the first pivot pin 6 on the dead side, and the other end is pivotally supported by the second pivot pin 7 on the Dharma side. The turning force of 3 is converted into advancing and retreating (reciprocating motion) of dead 4.

  In this embodiment, the guide means (guide plate, guide groove, guide protrusion, etc.) for guiding the dead 4 is not particularly shown, but the dead 4 is guided by the guide means provided on the dead 4 and the side wall 1c. Then, the door frame Y can be freely moved in and out of the bracket Z.

  Next, reference numeral 31 denotes a lock mechanism that holds the dead immersion state. The lock mechanism 31 includes a sliding member 32 and a stopper lever 33 for the sliding member. Is also disposed above. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the sliding member 32 and the stopper lever 33 of the lock mechanism 31.

  First, a specific configuration of the sliding member 32 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a front view of the sliding member 32. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the sliding member 32 includes a vertical slider plate 34 (FIG. 8) and a vertical rack plate 35 (FIG. 9). The slider plate 34 and the rack plate 35 are joined in the front-rear direction.

With reference to FIG. 5, the rack plate 35 is positioned on the front side of the slider plate 34, and both the plates 34 and 35 are provided with a plurality of engaging portions, engaged portions, The horizontal notches 36, 37, 37a, 37b, and 37c are combined so as to cooperate with each other.
Here, referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, both plates 34 and 35 will be described. 36 is a pair of left and right engaging projections projecting on the front side (front side) of the wide lower end of the slider plate 34. On the other hand, reference numeral 37 denotes left and right horizontal guide notches and horizontal guide slots formed in the lower end portion of the rack plate 35 so as to engage with the engaging protrusions 36. The front rack plate 35 can reciprocate in a horizontal direction by a predetermined amount via these engaging portions 36 and 37.

  Reference numerals 38 and 39 denote left and right first and second guide projection members projecting from the front surface of the central portion of the slider plate 34. As is clear from comparison between the sectional view of FIG. 6 and the end view of FIG. The first guide projection member 38 on one side (left side in FIG. 8) slightly protrudes to the near side of the second guide projection member 39 on the other side (right side).

  Thus, the first guide protrusion member 38 on the left side passes through the escape horizontal guide notch 37a at the left end portion of the rack plate 35 with the base end portion fixed to the inclined left end portion of the slider plate 34. The first support shaft 38a is composed of a first slider roller 38b and a stopper roller 38c attached to the first support shaft 38a, and the projecting tip portion of the first support shaft 38a is appropriately caulked (see FIG. 6).

  In addition, the protruding tip of the first support shaft 38a is preferably crimped so as to be flush with an unnumbered washer. In the present embodiment, the first guide projection member 38 also functions as a “lock member” as will be described later.

  On the other hand, the second guide projection member 39 on the right side has a base end portion fixed to the projecting right end portion of the slider plate 34, and the second guide projection member 39 passes through the return spring 40 housing horizontal cutout portion 37b of the rack plate 35. It consists of two support shafts 39a and a second slider roller 39b attached to the second support shaft 39a, and the tip end of the projection of the second support shaft 39a is caulked appropriately as well as that of the first support shaft 38a. . Therefore, the length of the second guide protrusion member 39 is shorter than that of the first guide protrusion member 38 because the stopper roller 38c is not provided (see FIG. 7).

  Further, a horizontal cutout portion 37c for a return spring 40 having a predetermined length is formed in the horizontal direction between the first and second guide projection members 38, 39 of the slider plate 35. Therefore, the horizontal cutout of the slider plate 34 is provided. A first spring receiving portion 41 is provided at the right end edge of the portion 37c, while a second spring receiving portion 42 is provided at the left end edge of the horizontal cutout portion 37b of the rack plate 35. The both ends of the return spring 40 are supported by the spring receiving portions 41 and 42 and are housed in both horizontal cutout portions 37b and 37c.

  Further, with regard to the configuration of the rack plate 35, a rack 43 that meshes the sector gear 23 of the dharma 3 in the horizontal direction is formed at the lower end edge of the rack plate 35. At an appropriate place, an inclined press for pressing a stopper lever 33 (to be described later) to unlock the lock mechanism 31 (the locked state where the stopper lever is engaged with the first guide projection member 38 of the slider 34). A portion 44 is formed, and at one end on the back side of the rack plate 35, a protruding engagement portion 45 that engages the inside of the engagement arm 25 of the driving cam 22 of the dharma 3 in a surface contact state. Is provided.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sliding member 32 includes the slider plate 34 having the lock member 38 that engages and disengages with the tip end portion of the stopper lever 33, and the slider plate via the engaging portions / engaged portions 36 and 37. And a rack plate 35 having a rack 43 that meshes with the sector gear 23 of the dharma 3 and is incorporated between the spring receiving portion 42 of the rack plate and the spring receiving portion 41 of the slider plate. When the operation member such as the key lock and thumb turn knob is slightly rotated in the locking direction, the rack plate 35 of the sliding member 32 resists the spring force of the return spring 40 for the rack plate. Then, the lock mechanism 31 moves slightly in the locking direction, and the stopper lever 33 is pressed to unlock the lock mechanism 31.

  Here, the guide plate 47 for guiding the sliding member 32 in the linear direction will be described with reference to FIG. The guide plate 47 is appropriately fixed along with an inner wall surface of one side wall 1c of the lock box (a front side wall on the front side as viewed in FIG. 2) together with a stopper lever 33 described later. The number, thickness, shape, and the like of the guide plate 47 are items that can be arbitrarily designed. However, the guide plate 47 has one or more guide plates 47 in the horizontal or oblique direction (in this embodiment). The slider guides 38b and 39b of the first and second guide projection members 38 and 39 are slidably fitted in the linear guide slot 48.

  Next, the stopper lever 33 constituting the lock mechanism 31 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 2, the stopper lever 33 is rotatably supported on the side wall 1 c via a fixed support shaft 51 above the dharma 3. With reference to FIG. 10, the stopper lever 33 is extended with a first engagement arm 52 (equivalent to a thumb) extending slightly obliquely upward with the fixed support shaft 51 as a reference, and with a left obliquely downward direction. And a second engagement arm 53 (equivalent to an index finger) 53 that engages and disengages with the first guide projection member (lock member) 38 of the slider plate 34 and a spring that extends obliquely downward to the right and receives one end of the spring member 55. An end receiving portion 54 and a receiving portion 56 that protrudes in a small protrusion shape at an appropriate portion between the first engaging arm 52 and the second engaging arm 53 and slides on the pressing portion 44 of the rack plate 35. Consists of.

  And the small protrusion 60a of the movable piece 60 which moves freely to a horizontal direction with the power of the trigger not shown provided in the front wall 1a side of a lock box engages with the front-end | tip part of the said 1st engagement arm 52. An engagement hole 52a is formed. The other end of the spring member 55 described above is appropriately supported on the side wall 1c side of the lock box.

  Next, the urging means 70 as a power source will be described with reference to FIGS. 3, 16 and 17. As shown in FIG. 3, the biasing means 70 is disposed in a space between the drive cam 22 of the dharma 3 and the front wall 1a of the lock box.

  The biasing means 70 of this embodiment includes a torsion coil spring 71 and a spring guide 72 that guides the torsion coil spring in a predetermined direction while supporting the torsion coil spring.

  Thus, the torsion coil spring 71 is an open leg displacement spring having both ends extended, and the open leg displacement spring 71 holds the spiral central portion 71b and the one end portion 71a has a fixed shaft 73. The leg is displaced through the movable spring guide 72 that is pivotally supported via the shaft.

  As described above, the other end 71c of the open leg displacement spring 71 is attached to the small protrusion 26 of the drive cam 22 of the dharma 3 via the connecting pin 27 in this embodiment. In addition, the torsion coil spring 71 of the present embodiment is an initial stage due to the activation of the electric motor, the operation activation by the operation member, etc., even when a so-called lateral pressure is applied (loaded) to the dead 4. As long as the locked state of the lock mechanism 31 with respect to the sliding member 32 is released by the power, the spring force is set so that the dead 4 can be completely pushed out through the dharma 3 thereafter.

  16 and 17 show an example of the spring guide 72. FIG. The spring guide 72 has a vertical base plate portion 72a that is in sliding contact with the side wall 1c of the lock box 1, and a frame-shaped enclosure portion 72b that is continuous with the left and right ends of the vertical base plate portion 72a. A shaft hole is formed in the base end portion of 72a, while a horizontal column 74 is provided on the inner surface of the slightly wide free end portion of the vertical base plate portion 72a to which the aforementioned spiral central portion 71b is fitted. . Since the spring guide 72 has the horizontal pillar 74, even if the number of turns of the spiral central portion 71b of the open leg displacement spring is increased, the spring guide 72 is not easily deformed, and the form is always kept constant. .

  Next, a mechanism for converting the rotational movement of the dharma 3 into the linear movement of the dead 4 and the dead stopper 19A will be described with reference to FIGS. The features of the power conversion mechanism and dead stopper 19A are not limitations of the present invention.

  Now, the power conversion means 5 of the present embodiment is a drive link 5. One end of the drive link 5 is pivotally supported on the first pivot pin 6 on the dead 4 side, and the other end is pivotally supported on the second pivot pin 7 on the dharma side. The rotational force of the dharma 3 that is rotated by the drive force of the drive motor that is not converted is converted into the forward and backward movement of the dead 4. Thus, in the present embodiment, the drive link 5 is pivotally supported by the protrusion 4b provided on the upper side of the main body 4a of the dead 4 via the first pivot pin 6, while the drive link 5 has one end (tip). The other end portion (terminal portion) is directly pivotally supported on the outer peripheral edge portion of the dharma 3 via the second pivot pin 7.

  Reference numeral 19A denotes a dead stopper, and the dead stopper 19A is formed between the rear end surface of the dead 4 and the inner wall surface of the rear wall 1b of the lock box 1 by the displacement of the operating arm 14A different from the drive link 5 at the time of locking. The space between them is entered to prevent the dead 4 from moving backward.

  By the way, the operating arm 14 </ b> A is a second link (not connected to the drive link) with respect to the drive link 5. In addition, in this embodiment, one link mechanism is not configured by linking the first, second, and third links. Further, one end portion (upper end portion) thereof is pivotally supported by the third pivot pin 8 on the dharma side which is spaced apart from the second pivot pin 7 on the dharma side by a predetermined distance at the peripheral end portion of the dharma 3, and others An end (lower end) is integrally provided with a dead stopper 19A, and the dead stopper 19A is provided in the vertical direction provided directly or indirectly (in this embodiment) on the left and right side walls 1c and 1c of the lock box. The curved shape guide notches 20A and 20A are guided to the vertical portion 20c corresponding to the end portion of the guide notch 20A during locking, and the dead 4 is prevented from retreating (locking). It is a rod protrusion.

  The curved guide cutouts 20A are formed so as to face a pair of guide fixing plates 9, 9 fixed to the inner wall surfaces of the left and right side walls 1c, 1c of the lock box 1, respectively. Then, as shown in FIG. 18, for example, the curved guide cutout 20 </ b> A is formed so as to draw a “slightly S-shaped curve” in the vertical direction, and from the start point 20 a of the vertical portion corresponding to the upper end thereof, the middle portion Arc-shaped or inclined portion 20b corresponding to, and a vertical portion 20c corresponding to the terminal portion. Further, the dead stopper 19A for the horizontal bar protrusion is engaged in a state where both ends thereof are installed on the pair of left and right curved guide notches 20A and 20A.

  FIG. 21 is a schematic explanatory view showing the movement of the drive link 5 and the dead stopper 19A from unlocking to locking. At the time of unlocking, the dead 4 is retracted into the lock box 1. At this time, the drive link 5 is in a horizontal state, whereas the operating arm 14A is in a state perpendicular to the upper side of the dead 4.

  In addition, the first pivot pin 6 and the second pivot pin 7 of the drive link 5 are located on the same horizontal line, and a horizontal bar-shaped stopper 19A is located directly below the third pivot pin 8 of the operating arm 14A. positioned. The lower end portion of the operating arm 14 </ b> A or the stopper 19 </ b> A is in contact with the upper end portion 10 a of the inclined receiving surface 10 formed at the rear end portion of the dead 4.

  Therefore, for example, when the spring force of the urging means 70 as a power source acts, the dharma 3 starts to rotate counterclockwise. When the dharma 3 rotates counterclockwise, the dharma 3 and the dead bolt 4 are connected via the first pivot pin 6, the second pivot pin 7 and the drive link 5. 3 exerts a pressing function (stretching function) for converting the rotational force of 3, and the dead 4 moves horizontally in the protruding direction. Then, as the dharma 3 continues to rotate, the dead stopper 19A is guided to the middle portion 20b of the curved guide notch 20A in the middle from the unlocked state to the locked state, and the rear end of the dead 4 is inclined. The shape receiving surface 10 is pressed. That is, the operating arm 14 </ b> A corresponding to the second link presses the dead bolt 4 as an auxiliary force to the drive link 5.

  At the time of locking, when the drive link 5 is tilted at a predetermined position, the stopper 19A falls into the vertical portion 20c corresponding to the end point of the guide notch, thereby preventing the dead 4 from moving backward. In other words, the dead stopper 19A is suspended in the vertical portions 20c and 20c of the pair of curved guide notches 20A and 20A provided indirectly on the left and right side walls of the lock box 1 at least. Dead 4 does not easily retreat.

Finally, the operation of the main part of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As described above, the lock X of this embodiment can also be used as an electric lock, but is mechanically applied and unlocked at least by the operating force of the operating member. 2 and 3, when the thumb turn knob 76 as an example of the operation member shown in FIG. 13 is slightly rotated in the locking (arrow A) direction, the rack plate 35 of the sliding member 32 is The sector gear 23 of the drive cam 22 of the dharma 3 moves slightly in the direction of locking (arrow B) slightly against the spring force of the return spring 40.

Then, during the initial operation of the rack plate 35, the pressing portion 44 of the rack plate 35 presses the receiving portion 56 of the stopper lever 33 so as to push up the receiving portion 56, so that the stopper lever 33 locks the fixed support shaft 51 on the fulcrum. It rotates by a required amount in the direction of the arrow C to be solved (clockwise in FIG. 14).
Then, since the lock state of the lock mechanism 31 with respect to the sliding member 32 is released, the torsion coil spring 71 of the biasing means 70 is displaced from the contracted state to the outwardly expanded state, whereby the spring force is reduced to Dharma. Acts directly on 3. When the spring force of the urging means 70 acts on the dharma 3, the dharma 3 continues to rotate in the unlocking direction without stopping, so that the slider plate 34 is also engaged with the engaging portions 36, as shown in FIG. 15. It moves while being guided by the linear guide slot 48 of the guide plate 47 to the unlocking position in cooperation with the rack plate 35 via the engaged portion 37 or the like.

FIG. 23 shows a state where the engagement arm 25 and the sliding member 32 of the drive cam 22 of the dharma 3 are displaced from the unlocked position to the locked position. Thus, in this embodiment, as long as the lock state of the lock mechanism 31 with respect to the sliding member 32 is released by the initial power by the activation of the electric motor, the operation activation by the operation member, etc., the spring force of the urging means 70 is thereafter applied. The dharma 3 automatically rotates in the locking direction, and the dead 4 automatically protrudes completely from the lock box 1.
Thus, the dead immersion state holding device as the main part of the lock of the present invention is the above-described configuration, in the locking state in which the dead 4 completely protrudes from the lock box 1 by the biasing force of the biasing means 70. When the dharma 3 is immersed in the lock box 1 against the urging force of the urging means 70 while rotating the operation member, the sliding member 32 constituting the lock mechanism 31 has its rack plate 35. Is displaced from the locked position to the unlocked position while meshing with the dharma 3, and the displaced sliding member 32 is automatically locked to the stopper lever 33 of the lock mechanism 31.

  The sliding member 32 of the present embodiment is preferably inclined between the inner surface of the front wall 1a of the lock box 1 and the inner surface of the rear wall 1b of the lock box 1 via a guide plate 47 having an inclined guide long hole 48. Reciprocate. If comprised in this way, the internal space of the vertically long lock box 1 can be utilized effectively.

  In this embodiment, the stopper lever 33 rotates in the direction in which the sliding member is locked by the spring force of the spring member 55 for the stopper lever. Of course, the stopper lever 33 is replaced with the spring force of the spring member 55. Thus, the sliding member 32 can be rotated in the direction of locking by the repulsive force of the magnetic body. When the repulsive force based on the polarity of the magnetic material is used, the magnetic material is provided at an appropriate location of the lock box and an appropriate location of the stopper lever 33, respectively.

  Further, the sliding member 32 of the present embodiment preferably cooperates with a slider plate 34 having a lock member 38 that engages with and disengages from the distal end portion of the stopper lever 33, and the slider plate via an engaging portion 36. A rack plate 35 having a rack which is combined and meshes with the sector gear 23 of the dharma 3; and a rack plate return spring 40 incorporated between the spring receiving portion of the rack plate and the spring receiving portion of the slider plate. However, the sliding member 32 may be a single rack plate 35 instead of the two plates. Further, the shapes of the stopper lever 33 and the rack plate 35 are matters that can be arbitrarily changed in design.

  Further, although not particularly illustrated, the matter of converting the rotational movement of the dharma 3 into the reciprocating movement of the dead 4 is also an operation of extending the dead cam (dharma) described in Patent Document 1 in the radial outward direction instead of the drive link 5. It can also be a cam.

  The present invention is mainly used in the locksmith and joinery industries.
