BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
a) Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a latch device, and more particularly to a latch
device for seat belt.
b) Description of the Prior Art
[0002] Exciting recreational facilities are installed in amusement parks for providing customers
a better, joyful and refresh experience. Moreover, with advanced development of virtual
reality, every amusement park is equipped with haptic simulation theater, in which
seat belts central control system is essential for securing customer safety.
[0003] Please refer to FIG. 1, which concerns Taiwan Patent No.
M473859, a latch 200 for seat belt 100. The seat belt 100 is connected to a latch plate with
two latching holes, and the latch 200 has an insertion slot for inserting the latch
plate. Two vertical locking disks, and an electromagnetic lock and a pressing lock
for engaging with the two vertical locking disks are attached inside the latch 200,
so that the latch plate of seat belt 100 is secured inside the latch 200.
[0004] In addition, the latch 200 only can be unlatched by means of releasing both the electromagnetic
lock and the manual pressing lock, and central control console only can detect whether
the electromagnetic lock is powered up, but cannot confirm latched state of the vertical
locking disks, so it needs staff to confirm latched state of seat belt 100 one by
one.
[0005] Furthermore, dark ambient condition is essential for a haptic simulation theater,
which can let customers enjoy realistic experiences, but it is hard for customers
to find and latch the latch 200 with the seat belt 100 in a dark theater.
[0006] From the above descriptions, certain problems still exist with current latch for
seat belt:
- 1. Unable to confirm a latched state via central control console
Central control console only can detect whether the electromagnetic lock is powered
up, but cannot confirm latched state of the vertical locking disks, so it needs staff
to confirm latched state of seat belt 100, which is possible to increase risk of accidents.
- 2. Unable to find a latch in the dark
Dark ambient condition is essential for a haptic simulation theater, which can let
customers enjoy realistic experiences, but it is hard for customers to find a latch
on a seat in such dark room.
- 3. Unable to comply with strict safety regulations
Regulations and standards of recreational facilities vary from country to country,
if latched state of the two vertical locking disks cannot be monitored, it may not
comply with safety regulations and standards in some countries.
- 4. Possible to increase risk of accidents
It is hard to detect rotatory position of each lock cylinders in a conventional latch.
When one of lock cylinders has a breakdown and cannot be detected from its appearance,
and central control console is also unable to receive breakdown information, the other
good lock cylinder will still be secured to the latch plate, which enables the damaged
latch still be utilized. Under these circumstances, once the good lock cylinder has
a breakdown, accident will happen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0025] Specific structural and functional details disclosed herein will become apparent
from the following description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention
taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] With reference to FIGs. 2 and 3, a preferred embodiment according to an embodiment
of the present invention is depicted, which applies to a latch device selectively
secured to a latch plate device 2. The latch plate device 2 comprises a latch plate
21 with two latching holes 22, while the latch device comprises a housing unit 3,
a disk unit 4, an electromagnetic lock unit 5, a pressing lock unit 6, a detecting
unit 7, an illuminating unit 8, and a forcible release unit 9.
[0027] The housing unit 3 includes a housing 31, which has a pressing hole 32 and an insertion
slot 33, and a fixing flange 34 protruding from bottom of the housing 31. The housing
31 is provided with a frame 311, and a cover 312 mounted on the frame 311. The insertion
slot 33 is provided with a wall 332 for framing a guide passage 331. The wall 332
is presented as a Y-shaped radian in an opening of the guide passage 331, and width
inside the guide passage 331 can match with width of the latch plate 21, so that the
latch plate 21 can be fit into the insertion slot 33.
[0028] A lock hole opened on the fixing flange 34 for fixing the latch device on one side
of a seat (not shown in the drawings), and a seat belt is disposed on the other side
of the seat to connect to the latch plate device 2, so that an occupant can be securely
held in a seat, which can prevent accident when haptic feedback seats are out of work.
[0029] The disk unit 4 includes a supporting rod 41 positioned through the housing 31, two
vertical disks 42 pivotally arranged on the supporting rod 41, and two disk springs
43. The two vertical disks 42 can rotate around the supporting rod 41 within a limited
angle. A hook 421, a first engaging portion 422, a second engaging portion 423, and
a limiting portion 424 are disposed around an outer perimeter of the two disks. One
end of the two disk springs 43 are respectively connected to the two vertical disks
42, and the other ends are connected to two side walls inside the housing 31.
[0030] With reference to FIGs. 4, 5 and 6, the two vertical disks 42 can move between an
unlatched and a latched position. The two disk springs 43 will respectively pull the
two vertical disks 42 for rotating around the supporting rod 41 at an angle until
inner wall of the housing 31 reaches the limiting portion 424. Preferably, a horizontal
rod is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 31 for blocking the limiting portion
424, so that the two vertical disks 42 are forced to be on the unlatched position.
When the two vertical disks 42 are on the unlatched position, the latch plate 21 can
be inserted from the insertion slot 33 and push the two vertical disks 42 against
tension of the two disk springs 43, so that the two vertical disks 42 are reversely
moved to the latched position.
[0031] The electromagnetic lock unit 5 includes two electromagnetic mechanisms 51 fixedly
disposed on the rear end of the housing 31, two retractable bars 52 respectively attracted
and controlled by the two electromagnetic mechanisms 51, two electromagnetic latches
53 respectively connected to the two retractable bars 52, two electromagnetic lock
springs 54, an electromagnetic lock guide rod 55 disposed inside the housing 31, and
two electromagnetic channels 56 respectively disposed on the two electromagnetic latches
53 and positioned through by the electromagnetic lock guide rod 55. The one end of
the two electromagnetic lock springs 54 are respectively connected to the two electromagnetic
latches 53, and the other ends are connected to the inside of the housing 31.
[0032] When the latch plate 21 is inserted into the insertion slot 33, the two hooks 421
will be pushed for moving the two vertical disks 42 to the latched position. The two
electromagnetic lock springs 54 respectively enable the two electromagnetic latches
53 to pull against the two first engaging portions 422, so that the two electromagnetic
latches 53 can respectively interfere with the two vertical disks 42. As a result,
the two vertical disks 42 cannot move, which causes the two latch holes 22 of the
latch plate 21 to be fixed.
[0033] The two electromagnetic mechanisms 51 are electromagnetic elements, when being powered
on, magnetic attraction will be produced for pulling the two retractable bars 52,
so that the two electromagnetic latches 53 can be separated from the two first engaging
portions 422. Meanwhile, the press button 61 is pressed to separate the button latch
62 from the two first engaging portions 423, and the elasticity of the two disk springs
43 can enable the two vertical disks 42 to move to the unlatched position, so that
the latch plate 2 can be ejected.
[0034] When the two electromagnetic mechanisms 51 are not powered on, the two electromagnetic
latches 53 are respectively moved toward the two vertical disks 42 by the two electromagnetic
springs 54, and respectively reach the outer perimeter of the two vertical disks 42
waiting for insertion of the latch plate device 2. When the latch plate 21 of the
latch plate device 2 is inserted into the insertion slot 33, the latch plate 21 concurrently
pushes the hooks 421 of the two vertical disks 42, so that the two vertical disks
42 can move to the latched position, and the two electromagnetic latches 53 can be
respectively moved to the two first engaging portions 422 by the two electromagnetic
springs 54.
[0035] The electromagnetic lock guide rod 55 is positioned through the electromagnetic channels
56 for controlling the movement of the two electromagnetic latches 53, so when the
two electromagnetic lock springs 54 pull the two electromagnetic latches 53, the two
electromagnetic latches 53 can precisely engage with the two first engaging portions
422, and the electromagnetic lock guide rod 55 further provides force to the two electromagnetic
latches 53 to interfere with the two vertical disks 42, so that the two vertical disks
42 are unable to rotate.
[0036] The pressing lock unit 6 includes a press button 61 slidingly connected to the press
hole 32, a button latch 62 connected to the press button 61, two pressing lock springs
63, two pressing lock guide rods 64 disposed inside the housing 31, and two pressing
lock channels 65 disposed on the press button 61 and positioned through by the pressing
lock guide rods 64. One end of the two pressing lock springs 63 are respectively connected
to two side faces of the press button 61, and the other ends are connected to the
inside of the housing 31.
[0037] When the latch plate 21 is inserted into the insertion slot 33, and concurrently
pushes the two hooks 421 for moving the two vertical disks 42 to the latched position,
elasticity of the two pressing lock springs 63 pulls the press button 61, so that
the button latch 62 concurrently interfere with the two second engaging portions 423.
As a result, the button latch 62 can respectively interfere with the two vertical
disks 42, and the two vertical disks 42 cannot move, so that the two latch holes 22
of the latch plate 21 can be secured.
[0038] The press button 61 is exposed outside from the pressing hole 32 for a hand press.
When the press button 61 is pressed against elasticity of the two pressing lock springs
63, the button latch 62 is separated from the two second engaging portions 423. When
the two electromagnetic latches 53 are separated from the two first engaging portions
422 by the two electromagnetic mechanisms 51, elasticity of the two disk springs 43
can move the two vertical disks 42 to the unlatched position, and the latch plate
device 2 is ejected.
[0039] When the press button 61 is released by hand, the two button latches 62 move toward
the two vertical disks 42 via the two pressing lock springs 63, and respectively reach
the outer perimeter of the two vertical disks 42 waiting for insertion of the latch
plate device 2. When the latch plate 21 is inserted into the insertion slot 33, the
latch plate 21 concurrently pushes the hooks 421 of the two vertical disks 42, so
that the two vertical disks 42 can move to the latched position, and elasticity of
the two pressing lock springs 63 enable the button latch 62 to push against the two
first engaging portions 422.
[0040] The two pressing lock channels 65 are respectively positioned through by the two
pressing lock guide rods 64, and the two pressing lock guide rods 64 are parallel
to the two pressing lock channels 65 for controlling the movement of the button latches
62, so when the two pressing lock springs 63 pull the press button 61, the button
latch 62 can precisely engage with the two second engaging portions 423, and the two
pressing lock guide rods 64 further provides force to the button latch 62 to interfere
with the two vertical disks 42, so that the two vertical disks 42 are unable to move.
[0041] When the two vertical disks 42 are on the latched position, the two electromagnetic
latches 53 are respectively latched with the two first engaging portions 422, and
the button latch 62 is concurrently latched with the two second engaging portions
423, so that the two vertical disks 42 are unable to move due to dual locking from
the electromagnetic lock unit 5 and the pressing lock unit 6, and interfere with the
two latching holes 22. As a result, the latch plate device 2 is latched with the latch
device by the two latch holes 22.
[0042] With reference to FIG. 7 and 8, the detecting unit 7 includes two detectors 71 disposed
inside the housing 31 for detecting position of the two electromagnetic latches 53.
In the preferred embodiment, an infrared sensor is served as a detector 71, wherein
an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver are provided, and two light barrier members
72 are respectively disposed on the two electromagnetic latches 53. When the two vertical
disks 42 are on the latched position, the two electromagnetic latches 53 move toward
the two vertical disks 42 by the pushing force of the two electromagnetic lock springs
54 and push against the two first engaging portions 422, so the two light barrier
members 72 won't block infrared light, and the infrared receiver can receive infrared
light, and can respectively transmit latched state information of the latch device
to central control console. In this case, the two detectors 71 can be replaced by
any other detecting unit, and shall not be construed as limiting the invention.
[0043] It is worth mentioning that the hook 421, the first engaging portion 422 and the
second engaging portion 423 disposed around the outer perimeter of the two vertical
disks 42 enable the two latching holes 22, two electromagnetic latches 53, and button
latch 62 to be engaged securely only when being on the latched position.
[0044] When the two vertical disks 42 are on the unlatched position, the two electromagnetic
latches 53 and the button latch 62 reach only the outer perimeter of the two vertical
disks 42, which enables the two light barrier members 72 to move to a specific place
for blocking infrared light, so that the infrared receiver cannot receive infrared
light, and the two detectors 71 can respectively transmit accurate latched state information
to the central control console.
[0045] The illuminating unit 8 includes an illuminator 81 disposed inside the housing 31.
In the preferred embodiment, the illuminator 81 is disposed in a space above the two
retractable bars 52, and can emit light after being powered on. In addition, the housing
31 surrounds its inner mechanism and electronic construction, and the light emitted
by the illuminator 81 will pass through the insertion slot 33 to the outside, so that
the users can find the insertion slot 33 and insert the latch plate 21 into the insertion
slot 33 in a dark room.
[0046] The latch device further comprises a forcible release unit 9, which includes a release
hole 91 opened on the press button 61, and a release 92 being able to insert into
the release hole 91 for pushing the two electromagnetic latches 53 and the button
latch 62. The release 92 is provided with a first pushing portion for pushing the
two electromagnetic latches 53, and a second pushing portion for pushing the press
button 61. The distance between the first and the second pushing portions is equal
to the pushing distance between the two electromagnetic latches 53 and the press button
61, so that the release 92 can be inserted into the release hole 91, and when pressing
the press button 61, the two electromagnetic latches 53 and the button latch 62 are
concurrently separated from the two first engaging portions 422 and the second engaging
portion 423 by the release 92. As a result, the disk unit 4 is unlatched and the latch
plate 21 can be removed from the insertion slot 33.
[0047] The two electromagnetic mechanisms 51 produces electromagnetic force by electricity,
which separates the two electromagnetic latches 53 from the two first engaging portions
422. When electricity control is out of work and the two electromagnetic latches 53
cannot be separated from the two first engaging portions 422, the disk unit 4 cannot
be unlatched by the press button 61. Under this circumstance, the release 92 is necessary
for unlatching.
[0048] It is hard to detect rotary position of each lock cylinders in a conventional latch.
When a breakdown is occurred in one of lock cylinders, it is difficult to detect such
breakdown from its appearance, and the central control console is also unable to receive
breakdown information. However, the other well-functioning lock cylinder will still
be secured to the latch plate, which leads the unperceived malfunctioned latch still
be utilized. During operation of haptic feedback facilities, once the rest of well-functioning
lock cylinder has a breakdown, latch plate will be pulled out immediately and cause
accidents.
[0049] The light barrier members 72 are respectively disposed on the electromagnetic latches
53, and the two detectors 71 confirm the latched state of the two vertical disks 42
by means of double detection. Once one of the vertical disks 42 is out of work, the
central control console can immediately obtain information to prevent the customers
from seating themselves in a malfunctioned seat, and notify the technical staff of
repair, which can improve the safety of conventional latches.
[0050] The inventor would like to emphasize that the present invention uses the two detectors
71 for respectively detecting the positon of the two retractable bars 52, which can
respectively confirm whether the two vertical disks 42 are on the latched position,
and whether the two electromagnetic latches 53 are pushed into the two first engaging
portions 422. Furthermore, the detected information of each detector 71 will be transmitted
to the central control console, so that the central control console can respectively
confirm whether the two lock cylinders of each latch device are well-functioning or
not. Therefore, the objective that two independent lock cylinders are disposed in
a latch device can be obtained by the present invention.
[0051] When the central control console finds that one of the detectors 71 is out of work,
even though the latch plate 21 can successfully insert into the insertion slot 33,
the central control console still can detect one of the vertical disks 42 is out of
work, and notify the technical staff of repair, so that the two lock cylinders can
function well and ensure passengers safety.
[0052] With the aforementioned descriptions, the following benefits of the present method
can be obtained:
- 1. Transmitting latched state information
When the two electromagnetic latches 53 move toward the two vertical disks 42 by pushing
force of the two electromagnetic lock springs 54 and push against the two first engaging
portions 422, the two light barrier member 72 are unable to block infrared light emitted
from the infrared emitter, so that the infrared receiver can respectively receive
infrared signal and can transmit latched state information of the latch device to
central control console.
- 2. Ensuring passengers safety
The hook 421, the first engaging portion 422 and the second engaging portion 423 disposed
around the outer perimeter of the two vertical disks 42 enable the two latching holes
22, two electromagnetic latches 53, and button latch 62 to be engaged securely only
when being on the latched position. When the two vertical disks 42 are on the unlatched
position, the two electromagnetic latches 53 and the button latch 62 reach only the
outer perimeter of the two vertical disks 42, which enables the two light barrier
members 72 to move to a specific place for blocking infrared light.
- 3. Identifying position under dark ambient condition
The dim light emitted by the illuminator 81 will pass through the insertion slot 33
to the outside, so that the users can find the insertion slot 33 and insert the latch
plate 21 into the insertion slot 33 in a dark room.
- 4. Avoiding the continual use of a malfunctioned latch device
When the central control console finds that one of the detectors 71 is out of work,
it will determine one of the vertical disks 42 is out of work and stop operation of
haptic feedback facilities, and notify the technical staff of repair, so that the
two lock cylinders can function well to ensure the passengers safety. Thus, the present
invention is capable of avoiding the continual use of a malfunctioned latch device.
[0053] In conclusion, the two infrared detectors 71 disposed on the space beside the two
retractable bars 52 can respectively detect the two light barrier members 72 interlocked
with the two electromagnetic latches 53 for respectively confirming rotary position
of the two vertical disks 42. The illuminating unit 8 disposed in the space above
the two retractable bars 52 can help the users find the insertion slot 33 in a dark
room. Therefore, the objective can be obtained by the present invention.
[0054] The foregoing detailed description is merely in relation to a preferred embodiment
