Since the whole can be rotated up and down or left and right, there is a problem that the door lock rod connected to the key cylinder is moved up and down undesirably, the door latch is released to open the door.

In order to prevent theft as described above, it is proposed to prevent the door lock rod from being operated undesirably by moving the key cylinder and the door lock rod with the ball joint in the up and down direction of the key cylinder bundle. The drawback was that it could not prevent unwanted operation of the door lock rod while rotating in the direction.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and inserts a normal key into the key cylinder so that the door can be released or locked only when the key cylinder is rotated, whereas the stolen tool is inserted into the key cylinder. It is an object of the present invention to provide a door lock structure of a vehicle that prevents theft of a vehicle by preventing the door lock rod connected to the door latch from moving up and down even when the key cylinder bundle is rotated up or down or left and right.

The present invention for achieving the above object, the first key cylinder is formed with a key groove to accommodate the key, and the second key cylinder connected to the first key cylinder rotatably up and down via a pin, A first key lever fixedly mounted to the two key cylinders, and a second key lever fixedly attached to one end of the door lock rod connected to the door latch while being connected to the pin by rotatably from side to side with respect to the first key lever; Doing.

Preferably, the first key cylinder is rotatably received in the housing, the housing is characterized in that the bracket is formed to be fixed to the housing of the outer door handle.

In addition, a semi-circular fastening portion is integrally formed at the rear end of the first key cylinder, and a semicircular fastening portion corresponding to the fastening portion is formed at the front end of the second key cylinder, and each of the fastening portions is formed by the pin. The first key lever is formed integrally with the outer circumferential surface of the second key cylinder and is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second key cylinder. The second key lever has a circular shape and is fixedly mounted to the door lock rod through a clip, and a rectangular protrusion is integrally formed on one outer circumferential surface of the second key lever to correspond to the rectangular protrusion of the first key lever. A protrusion having a rectangular shape is inserted into the fitting groove of the first key lever and coupled to the protrusion so as to be relatively rotatable through a pin. Characterized in that formed integrally.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3 is a perspective view of the door lock structure according to the present invention, Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the door lock structure according to the present invention, that is, in the cylindrical cylinder (1) having a generally cylindrical shape A first key cylinder (2) having a key groove is inserted and rotatably supported, and a bracket (3) for fastening and fixing the key cylinder bundle to the housing of the outer door handle on a predetermined outer circumferential surface of the key cylinder housing (1) It is integrally extended and formed.

The bracket 3 has a fastening hole 3a formed therein for fastening to the housing of the outer door handle by means of fastening means such as bolts, and the rear end portion of the first key cylinder 2 is a semicircular fastening. The part 2a is comprised.

The distal end portion of the second key cylinder 5, which is rotatably fastened via the fastening portion 2a and the pin 4 of the first key cylinder 2, is corresponding to the fastening portion of the first key cylinder. And the pins 4 are fitted to be assembled in a state where the fastening portions 2a and 5a are in close contact with each other.

The outer circumferential surface of the second key cylinder 5 is integrally formed with a circular first key lever 5b, and the outer circumferential surface of the first key lever 5b is a recessed groove 5c. A rectangular protrusion 5d having a recess is formed.

One end of the door lock rod 6, which is connected to the door latch to lock or release the door latch, is bent and a second key lever 6a having a circular shape on the outer circumferential surface thereof is fixedly installed through the clip 7. One side of the second key lever 6a has a rectangular protrusion 6b integrally formed to correspond to the rectangular protrusion 5d of the first key lever, and the first key lever is fitted to the protrusion 6b. A rectangular projection 6c is inserted into the groove and integrally rotatably coupled via the pin 8 so as to be integrally formed.

Accordingly, for example, when the driver inserts a key into the first key cylinder to rotate the first key cylinder clockwise or counterclockwise, the rotational movement of the first key cylinder is transmitted to the second key cylinder, and thus the second key cylinder. Is rotated integrally, and the first key lever rotates together with the second key cylinder by the rotational movement of the second key cylinder while the door lock rod is raised or lowered through the second key lever to lock or release the door latch. do.

However, when the vehicle is repeatedly stolen by inserting a stolen tool such as a driver into the key groove of the first key cylinder for the purpose of theft of the vehicle, the fastening force of the fastening bolt of the key cylinder housing is loosened, and the key as shown in FIG. The entire cylinder can be rotated upwards, in which case the first key cylinder is pinned to the second key cylinder, so only the first key cylinder is rotated upwards and the second key cylinder Since the second key lever is not rotated, the door latch is not undesirably released.
