Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a mechanical locking mechanism, especially a mutual-constraint
safety multi-drawer locking mechanism with a function of locking all-drawer each time,
however, during using, only one drawer can be opened each time.
Background of the Invention
[0002] At present, the multi-drawer locking mechanism only has the function of locking all-drawer
and unlocking all-drawer simultaneously. During opening one drawer for taking work
pieces, all the other drawers shall be in the unlocked openable state, causing mutual
interference and making several drawers simultaneously slide out. Especially when
dealing with the multi-drawer toolbox and cabinet in a vibration or shaking conditions,
the operator must be careful, otherwise it is easier to cause several other drawers
to slide out simultaneously. Then the toolbox shall lose its gravity center, causing
collapse, and the tools spilling on the ground or safety accidents happening. So the
existing multi-drawer locking mechanism is unreasonable, it is necessary to improve
it.
Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of present invention is to provide a mutual-constraint safety multi-drawer
locking mechanism with the function of locking all-drawer, but during using, only
one drawer can be opened each time, and that only after the opened drawer closed and
reset, another drawer can be selected to open.
[0004] The main body of this mutual-constraint safety multi-drawer locking mechanism consists
of a mounting bracket, a driving mechanism and an action actuating mechanism. It is
characterized in that the mounting bracket is formed by a main bottom plate, an upper top plate, a lower
bottom plate, a limit cover plate and a curved baffle plate. The main body of this
main bottom plate is the strip "the right open box" shaped which shape like the figure
of "⊏", formed by a middle bottom plate and left and right side rods. The left side
plate is arranged with a shaft pin limit concave hole and a limit cover plate mounting
hole. The right side plate is arranged with the shaft pin working hole at the place
symmetrical to that of limit concave hole on the left side plate and limit mounting
hole of curved baffle plate, the upper top plate is symmetrical and matched with the
shape of the main body of the lower bottom plate, in "the right open box" shape matched
with the main bottom plate, formed by the middle mounting surface with the spindle
assembly hole and standby mounting hole and the left and right mounting supports with
the assembly holes. The limit cover plate is arranged with a working hole and an assembly
hole corresponding to the shaft pin limit concave hole and mounting hole on the left
side plate. The curved baffle plate may prevent the deformation of the spindle, with
the assembly hole corresponding to the limit mounting hole on the right side plate.
The driving mechanism has a "L-type" base plate, a lock-plate, a shaft pin and a compression
spring. The "L-type" base plate is arranged with a spring salient seat. The lock-plate
is formed by the left and right bent side brims with the assembly hole on it, and
top bent brim and middle supporting plate with the spring salient seat. The lower
edge of the left bent side brim is arranged with the lock hook with the locking notch,
the near-lower edge of the right bent side brim is extended with one hump limit clamping
strip, one end of the shaft pin has the limit shoulder, under the assembled mode,
the shaft pin is protruded into the assembly hole on the left and right bent side
brim, and welded on the lock-plate. The action actuating mechanism consists of the
optional-one drawer open actuating mechanism and all-drawer lock actuating mechanism.
The optional-one drawer open actuating mechanism is formed by a spindle and several
sets of shaft sleeve assemblies with the quantity matched to that of the drawers.
The spindle is arranged with a longitudinal limit lead rail, with assembly screw holes
at both ends, each set of shaft sleeve assembly includes a spring setting shaft sleeve,
a rotary shaft sleeve, a driven shaft sleeve, a torsion spring and a spacing shaft
sleeve. The inner of the spring setting shaft sleeve is arranged with the limit guide
groove matched with the longitudinal guide rail on the spindle, and its outer is arranged
with the spring salient seat. The inner of the rotary shaft sleeve has the sector
radian limit guide groove with the depth matched with the longitudinal guide rail
on the spindle, permitting the rotary shaft sleeve to rotate 90°on the spindle, and
its outer has the limit salient strip with the spring mounting hole, and its top end
surface has the upper salient working surface formed by the tilted surface and the
flat and straight sliding surface. The inner of the driven shaft sleeve has the limit
guide groove matched with the longitudinal guide rail on the spindle, the lower end
face has the concave-down working surface matched with the upper salient working surface
formed by the tilted surface and the flat and straight sliding surface on the rotary
shaft sleeve top end surface. The spacing shaft sleeve is mounted between the spring
setting shaft sleeve and the driven shaft sleeve, which inner has the limit guide
groove matched with the longitudinal limit lead rail on the spindle.
[0005] Moreover, the length of the shaft sleeve assembled on the spindle depends on the
actual thickness of drawers. If the height of spring setting shaft sleeve, rotary
shaft sleeve, driven shaft sleeve are basically specified, adjust the length of spacing
shaft sleeve to meet with the requirements. The length of spindle equals to the sum
of assembled length of all shaft sleeve assemblies and the height of tilted surface
on one rotary shaft sleeve.
[0006] The all-drawer locked action actuating mechanism consists of a lock lever, a fixed
lock piece and a sliding lock piece. The main body of the fixed lock piece is "L-type"
curved shaped, consisting of a horizontal mounting surface with the matched standby
mounting hole on the upper top plate and vertical supporting surface with a lock lever
working hole, with the included angle 90°. The main body of sliding lock piece is
"L-type" curved shaped, consisting of a horizontal sliding working surface with a
strip kidney-type assembly hole and one side extended lock head with 180° bend brim
and a vertical supporting surface with a vertical strip kidney-type hole, with the
included angle 90°. The main body of lock lever is long rod type, consisting of straight
rod end and curved shape control actuating end arranged near the tail end.
[0007] Under the assembled conditions, the main bottom plate is fixed on the base plate
behind the cabinet body opposite to the top of the drawer, both the upper top plate
and the lower bottom plate are respectively arranged on the upper and lower ends of
main bottom plate, the "L-type" base plate is welded on the middle bottom plate of
the main bottom plate. The main body of shaft pin is welded on the lock-plate; one
end is flexibly protruded in the working hole on the right side plate of main bottom
plate; the other end is placed in the limit concave hole of left side plate, and assembled
and limited by the limit cover plate. One end of the compression spring is inserted
on the spring salient seat of "L-type" base plate; the other end is inserted on the
spring salient seat at the top bent brim of lock-plate. Through the spindle assembly
holes on the upper top plate and lower bottom plate, the spindle with the longitudinal
limit lead rail may be assembled between the upper top plate and lower bottom plate,
which shall be assembled with several sets of shaft sleeve assemblies formed with
spring setting shaft sleeve, rotary shaft sleeve, driven shaft sleeve, and spacing
shaft sleeve as necessary. The torsion spring is inserted on the spring setting shaft
sleeve, one end is installed on the spring salient seat of spring setting shaft sleeve,
the other is installed on the spring mounting hole of limit salient strip on the rotary
shaft sleeve. The upper surface of upper top plate is installed with the fixed lock
piece, and its lower surface is flexibly installed with the sliding lock piece. The
straight rod end of lock lever is connected with the lock core, after passed through
the vertical strip kidney-type hole on the sliding lock piece, the control actuating
end is protruded into the lock lever working hole on the fixed lock piece.
[0008] When the mutual-constraint safety multi-drawer locking mechanism of this invention
is used for the multi-drawer cabinets, all latches on the top of drawers are limited
by the lock hook, all located in the locking notch of lock-plate on the shaft sleeve
assembly, and kept in locked state, all hump limit clamping strips on the lock-plate
may contact with the limit salient strips on the rotary shaft sleeve, all sleeves
on the spindle are tightly connected in successive mode, a gap equal to the height
of tilted working surface on one rotary shaft sleeve is maintained on the upper part
of the spindle. So when pulling one of the drawers and driving the lock-plate to deflect,
the lock-plate may push the rotary shaft sleeve to deflect 90°through the hump limit
clamping strip on it and the relevant limit salient strip on the rotary shaft sleeve,
while driving its tilted surface to make the relative displacement, ensure the sum
of its height and that of driven shaft sleeve to add the height of one tilted surface,
just then occupy the free sliding gap of all shaft sleeves on the spindle, so, under
this condition, other drawers can't be opened, only after this drawer closed and reset,
rotate the shaft sleeve, and return under the function of the torsion spring, and
the gap on the spindle recovered, another drawer can be opened. When needing to lock
all the drawers, the rotation of the lock lever may be controlled through a key to
drive the movable lock piece to slide to the spindle and to let the end lock head
at the horizontal sliding working surface of movable lock piece protrude into the
gap on the upper part of spindle in order to realize the locking of all the drawers.
[0009] Moreover, in theory, with one of the drawers opened, the other drawers can't be opened
simultaneously, however, in practice, it is not equivalent that other drawers can't
be pulled out. Once an external force pulls out the other drawers, a deflection force
may be formed on the relevant lock-plates of other drawers, which may also form a
torsion force for the spindle through the limit salient strip on the rotary shaft
sleeve. Therefore a curved baffle plate is added on the relevant position of right
side plate on the main bottom plate to prevent the deformation and bending of spindle,
ensure the high reliability and long service life.
[0010] Based on the design concept mentioned above, this mutual-constraint safety multi-drawer
locking mechanism may ensure only the free gap for one drawer's being opened on the
spindle under the non-locked state. So under the conditions of one drawer opened,
none of the second or more drawers can be opened simultaneously, thus ensuring the
operator to open the specified drawer and improve the working efficiency, avoiding
confusion of things among drawers, with easier management, and locking all the drawers
through a key. So the toolbox or cabinet with this mutual-constraint safety multi-drawer
locking mechanism have high convenience and reliability in complex working environment.
The mechanism can thoroughly solve the problems of existing technologies of multiple
drawers sliding out simultaneously, the cabinet or toolbox collapsing due to the lose
of gravity center, the tools spilling on the ground or safety accidents. Thus it has
the high practicability and brilliant market foreground.
