Description

Cross-Reference to Related Applications

[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202010072147.7, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on January 21, 2020, entitled "Door or Window Lock with Concealable Handle", which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure pertains to the field of locks, and in particular relates to a door or window lock with a concealable handle.

Background Art

[0003] A door lock is a device used for locking a door to prevent others from opening the door. There are many types of door locks. Different door locks are required in various occasions. The currently commercially available door locks basically have handles. The handle functions as a point on which a force acts when the user wants to open the door, so that the door can be opened by twisting the handle. However, such handle has some problems because it is exposed to the outside. For example, the handle is often easily damaged by external impact, or the surface of the handle is scratched to adversely affect the overall appearance, or even the handle may fall off due to an excessive external force or a problem occurs in the connection between the handle and the door lock, so that the door lock cannot be opened by the handle. Moreover, children running and playing, and people such as those lowered their heads to pick up things have often collided with the handles, which may cause some physiological harm to people who are not aware of protecting themselves.

Operating Principle:

[0046] A key 7 is inserted into the lock core 305. When the key 7 is turned, the key 7 will drive the lock core 305 to shift the elastic extendable block 307. In other words, the inclined restoring blocks 3113 of the first limiting block 311 and the second limiting block 312 are pushed by the shift block 3051, so that the first limiting block 311 and the second limiting block 312 are moved towards each other in opposite directions. At this time, the engaging bases 3112 of the first limiting block 311 and the second limiting block 312 are retracted inwardly and then unfixed from the second fixing limiting hole 212, respectively. At the same time, the rotary handle 301 is pushed out of the surface of the fixing sleeve 101 under the action of the push-out spring 308. At this time, the latch 201 may be controlled by rotating the rotary handle 301 by the following control process. In the initial state, the latch 201 and the rotary handle 301 are both in a horizontal state. When the rotary handle 301 is rotated to a position at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the horizontal line, the latch 201 is also positioned at an angle of 90 degrees and limits the position of the door panel. At this time, the internal positioning pin 205 in this door or window lock is rotated by 90 degrees along a path defined by the bottom horizontal groove position of the "L"-shaped groove formed by the adjusting sleeve 204 and the housing 1.

[0047] Further, the rotary handle 301 is rotated to a position at an angle of 180 degrees from the initial state. During this process, the internal positioning pin 205 will be pushed by the projecting blocks inside the housing 1 into the limiting slot 210 and then be positioned by the limiting slot 210.

[0048] When the adjustment of the latch 201 is completed and the rotary handle 301 needs to be concealed, the top of the rotary handle 301 is simply pressed, and then the handle component 3 is moved downward by the positioning effect of the positioning protrusion 309 and the positioning slot 310 until the engaging bases 3112 of the first limiting block 311 and the second limiting block 312 reach the position of the second fixing limiting hole 212, and the engaging bases 3112 are unblocked by the inner wall of the handle cavity 208 and then are protruded outward under the action of the return spring 313. At this time, the shift block 3051 is also pushed by the inclined restoring blocks 3113 of the first limiting block 311 and the second limiting block 312 to drive the lock core 305 to rotate to the initial position.

[0049] The door or window lock according to the embodiment of the present disclosure allows the rotary handle 301 to be concealed by the cooperation of the rotary handle 301 with the concealing part 302. When it is necessary to open the door, the rotary handle 301 can be unlocked by the concealing part 302 by rotating the lock core 305, so that the rotary handle 301 is partially ejected out of the housing 1 so as to be held by the user. When there is no need to open the door, the rotary handle 301 can be pressed to be concealed in the housing 1, thereby ameliorating the problems of the prior art door locks with unconcealable handles which protrude outside so as to be easily damaged or cause potential safety hazards. This door or window lock with a concealable handle is designed by making ingenious use of the characteristics of the respective structures, has a compact overall structure, can be adjusted effectively and conveniently, and therefore is suitable for widespread use in various places.
