Description

Electronic linkage cabinet locks

This invention belongs to the field of locks for cabinets, especially an electronic linkage cabinet lock, which uses an electronic device and a locking module, wherein the locking module is designed for different types of interlocking devices, and can be used for various interlocking devices on the market, and can be quickly set up and used to lock or open the slide rail, so that the original interlocking device has an electronic linkage function.

According to the general cabinet, drawers are usually equipped with a slide rail to facilitate sliding and pulling. The slide rail is designed to carry an object for linear sliding. The slide rail structure usually includes a fixed rail, at least one slide rail and at least one slide member. After being installed inside the cabinet, the slide rail can drive the drawer to slide relative to the fixed rail fixed inside the cabinet through the slide member, thereby improving the smoothness of use. Although the slide rail increases the smoothness, it often happens that the drawer slides out by itself or multiple drawers are opened at the same time, causing the center of gravity of the cabinet to deviate, resulting in potential dangers such as crushing or pinching.

In order to prevent danger, slide mechanisms with interlocking functions have emerged. Their main purpose is to prevent the opening of unused drawers. For example, the Republic of China's invention patents M333109 "Front-positioned interlocking structure of drawer slide", M244802 "Drawer interlocking latch device", M245274 "Improvement of drawer interlocking device", M284291 "Drawer interlocking brake latch device", I455700 "Drawer slide linkage interlocking device" and I428102 "Drawer slide linkage interlocking structure" disclose various types of interlocking devices. The interlocking structure or interlocking device of this type is used in a linkage interlocking manner. The principle is that the interlocking structure or interlocking device is provided on each slide rail. When the slide rail is pulled out, the interlocking structure or interlocking device is linked, and an interlocking slider inside it is pushed open. Moreover, each interlocking structure or interlocking device is connected to each other through a linkage (steel cable or linkage rod). Therefore, when the interlocking slider is pushed open, it will drive the linkages to synchronously drive the other interlocking structures or interlocking devices to lock, and then lock other unused drawers, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing the unused drawers from being opened.

In view of this, the creator hopes to further enhance the original cabinet function through such an interlocking structure design, and designs an electronic linkage cabinet lock. Through the existing electronic sensing and identification technology, combined with the ability to be universally used in various types of interlocking devices, or can be directly used in the locking module of general slide rails, and can be quickly set up and used to lock or open the slide rails, so that the original interlocking device has an electronic linkage function, greatly improving the convenience of use.

The end is connected to the first slider to synchronously link the second slider to move vertically, and the locking or opening of the slide rails used in all drawers is synchronously completed by triggering the sensing element. The locking module of this invention can be applied to various interlocking devices or interlocking modules on the market, with a wider range of applications, and the increase of electronic sensing effect improves its practicality and other functions.
