Specifically, the first engaging portions 20a, 20b, 25, and 26 of the first lock case 10 are connected to the second engaging portions 91, 92, 93, and 94 of the second lock case 11 as shown in FIG. Is engaged. The fixing projection 88 of the rear side standing wall portion 81 of the second lock case 11 is fitted into the fixing hole 32 of the rear side standing wall portion 17 of the first lock case 10.
Thus, in the latch lock 1, the first lock case 10 and the second lock case 11 made of resin are integrated without using a fastening element such as a screw. Therefore, it is inexpensive and can be easily assembled.

Subsequently, the handle is rotated to change the protruding posture to the retracted posture.
Specifically, the hub member 5 is rotated in the circumferential direction around the handle insertion hole 55 by the rotation of the handle.
At this time, the receiving portion 60 of the hub member 5 presses the compression spring 6 forward as shown in FIG. 12, and the compression spring 6 is in a contracted state. The arm portions 58 and 59 press the front surfaces of the contact pieces 64 and 65 of the auxiliary transmission member 7.

  The auxiliary transmission member 7 receives the pressing of the arm portions 58 and 59 accompanying the rotation of the hub member 5 and transmits the transmission guide groove 51 of the first lock case 10 and the second lock case 11 as shown in FIG. It moves obliquely upward along the guide groove 86.

When the transmission shaft portions 66 and 67 are moved to the uppermost portions of the transmission guide groove 51 and the transmission guide groove 86 after the transmission shaft portions 66 and 67 are moved to the auxiliary transmission member 7, the transmission guide groove 51 is further applied. , 86 rotate in the circumferential direction around the transmission shaft portions 66, 67.
The rotation direction at this time is opposite to the rotation direction of the hub member 5. As the auxiliary transmission member 7 rotates, the seat plate 43 of the latch bolt 3 is pressed backward by the contact pieces 64 and 65. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the latch main body 41 retracts against the urging force of the torsion spring 42, and the latch lock 1 assumes the retracted posture.

  In the process of changing from the protruding posture to the retracted posture, the hub protruding piece 56 of the hub member 5 is guided in the direction of approaching the escape hole 23 along the wall surface of the first guide portion 50 of the first lock case 10 as shown in FIG. It is burned. On the other hand, the hub protruding piece 57 of the hub member 5 is guided in the direction approaching the escape hole 85 along the wall surface of the second guide portion 90 of the second lock case 11. In other words, the escape holes 23 and 85 alleviate the spreading force in the outward direction of the tip portions of the hub protruding pieces 56 and 57 of the hub member 5. Further, as the hub projecting pieces 56 and 57 of the hub member 5 are guided to the escape holes 23 and 85, the first guide portion 50 and the second guide portion 90 are brought closer to each other by the hub projecting pieces 56 and 57 of the hub member 5. It is pressed by. That is, in the retracted position, the latch lock 1 has the first guide portion 50 and the second guide portion 90 sandwiched between the hub protruding pieces 56 and 57 of the hub member 5 as shown in FIG. The integrated strength of 10 and the second lock case 11 is reinforced.

  Since the changing operation from the retracted posture to the protruding posture is the same except that it is a reverse operation, the description thereof will be omitted.

Then, the positional relationship of each member in each attitude | position of the latch lock 1 accompanying the key opening / closing operation | movement is demonstrated.
For convenience of explanation, the positional relationship of each member accompanying the operation of switching from the unlocked state to the locked state will be described.

  The latch lock 1 in the unlocked state shown in FIG. 10 is in the same state as the latch lock 1 in the protruding position described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

The key is inserted into the key receiving portion 72 of the unlocked latch lock 1 and rotated to lock.
At this time, as the key rotates, the locking hub member 70 rotates in the circumferential direction around the key receiving portion 72. That is, the locking hub member 70 rotates from the locking angle (FIG. 15) to the unlocking angle (FIG. 17).
When attention is paid to the connecting portion 73 side of the locking hub member 70, the connecting portion 73 rotates in the circumferential direction around the key receiving portion 72, and a part of the connecting portion 73 is the upper surface side wall portion 18 of the first lock case 10. (FIG. 15 → FIG. 17).
Further, as the connecting portion 73 moves, the state maintaining portion 36 of the first lock case 10 rotates in the circumferential direction around the connecting portion with the upper standing wall portion 37, and the urging direction is changed.
That is, in the unlocked state, the state maintaining unit 36 urges the connecting portion 73 in a direction to press the raised portion 33 of the first lock case 10. However, in the locked state, the state maintaining portion 36 pushes the connecting portion 73 to the first lock case 10. It is urging | biasing in the direction pressed against the upper surface side standing wall part 18.

When attention is paid to the locking shaft portion 74, the locking shaft portion 74 rotates in the circumferential direction around the key receiving portion 72, and as shown in FIG. 16, the locking shaft portion 74 is on the center side (latch bolt 3 side). Moving.
With the movement of the locking shaft portion 74, the locking insertion member 71 has the locking projections 76 and 77 formed in the locking guide groove 52 of the first lock case 10 and the locking guide groove 87 of the second lock case 11. It is guided and moves downward as shown in FIG. Then, the locking insertion member 71 enters the space 96 located behind the latch bolt 3.
Therefore, the latch main body 41 cannot move into the space 96 due to the presence of the locking insertion member 71, and the latch bolt 3 cannot be retracted from the front 9.

Further, at this time, as shown in FIG. 18, the protruding portions 21 and 83 enter between the locking engagement pieces 78 and 79, and the protruding portions 21 and 83 are inserted into the locking engagement pieces 78 and 79. 79. That is, the integrated strength of the first lock case 10 and the second lock case 11 is reinforced by the locking engagement pieces 78 and 79 of the locking insertion member 71.
Further, the locking engagement piece 78 is guided to the escape hole 22 along the wall surface of the protruding portion 21 of the first lock case 10, and the spreading force in the outward direction of the distal end portion of the locking engagement piece 78 is exerted. It has been eased. The locking engagement piece 79 is guided to the relief hole 85 along the wall surface of the protruding portion 83 of the second lock case 11, and the outward spreading force of the distal end portion of the locking engagement piece 79 is reduced. ing.

The relationship of the force around the state maintaining unit 36 when switching from the unlocked posture to the locked posture will be described.
In the unlocked posture, the state maintaining unit 36 has a biasing force working obliquely upward as shown in FIG. That is, the urging force of the state maintaining unit 36 has a component force Fy of the vertical component (vertical component) and a component force Fx of the front-rear component (horizontal component). The urging force F1 of the state maintaining unit 36 in the unlocked posture is such that the component force Fx of the front-rear direction component is larger than the component force Fy of the vertical component. In other words, a force that urges the connecting portion 73 of the locking hub member 70 backward acts greatly, and the locking hub member 70 is difficult to rotate forward about the key receiving portion 72. Therefore, the latch lock 1 is not changed from the unlocked posture unless an external force is applied.

  When switching from the unlocked posture to the locked posture, the state maintaining unit 36 applies an external force (the rotational force of the locking hub member 70), but until the state maintaining unit 36 assumes a predetermined posture, the locking is performed. The hub member 70 is difficult to rotate forward about the key receiving portion 72. When the state maintaining portion 36 approaches a locking posture beyond a predetermined posture, the locking hub member 70 is moved to the key receiving portion 72. It becomes easy to rotate forward about 72. More specifically, the angle of the state maintaining unit 36 changes from the unlocking posture toward the locking posture, and the force relationship between the component force Fy of the vertical component of the urging force of the state maintaining unit 36 and the component force Fx of the front-rear direction component is It will change. Then, when the component force Fy of the vertical component of the urging force F2 of the state maintaining unit 36 and the component force Fx of the front-rear component are equal to each other as shown in FIG. The force relationship between the component force Fy and the component force Fx of the front-rear direction component is reversed, and the urging force acts in the direction of switching to the locked posture. That is, the latch lock 1 moves from the unlocked posture to the locked posture through the thought point where the state maintaining unit 36 is most compressed.

  And when it becomes a locking posture, the urging | biasing force works diagonally upward as shown in FIG.19 (c). That is, the urging force of the state maintaining unit 36 has a component force Fy of the vertical component and a component force Fx of the front-rear component. In the urging force F3 of the state maintaining unit 36 in the locked posture, the component force Fy in the vertical direction component is larger than the component force Fx in the front-rear direction component. In other words, the force that urges the connecting portion 73 of the locking hub member 70 upward acts greatly, and the locking hub member 70 is less likely to rotate backward about the key receiving portion 72. Therefore, the latch lock 1 is not changed from the locked posture unless an external force is applied.

  According to the latch lock 1 of the present invention, since the lock case 2 and the state maintaining portion 36 are made of resin and are integrally formed, they are formed at a lower cost than a conventional metal lock case. be able to. In addition, the number of parts can be reduced, and it is easy to assemble without being detached from the lock case.

  According to the latch lock 1 of the present invention, the rotational force of the hub member 5 is transmitted to the latch bolt 3 via the auxiliary transmission member 7, and the rotation direction of the hub member 5 and the rotation direction of the auxiliary transmission member 7 are reversed. As a result, the rotation angle of the handle is successfully reduced as compared with the case where the auxiliary transmission member 7 is not interposed. Therefore, it is possible to easily open and close the door.

  In the above-described embodiment, the rotational force of the hub member 5 is indirectly transmitted to the latch bolt 3 via the auxiliary transmission member 7, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is directly from the hub member 5. May be transmitted to the latch bolt 3.

  In the above-described embodiment, the lock case 2 and the locking insertion member 71 are engaged in the locking posture. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the lock case 2 and the locking member in the unlocking posture. The insertion member 71 may be engaged.

  In the above-described embodiment, the lock case 2 and the hub member 5 are engaged in the retracted posture. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the lock case 2 and the hub member 5 are in the protruding posture. It is good also as a structure to engage.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the state maintaining unit 36 is adapted to the latch bolt driving mechanism has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the state maintaining unit may be a dead bolt driving mechanism or push-pull. You may adapt to the drive mechanism of a lock, and the drive mechanism of a sickle lock.
