DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. And embodiments in the present disclosure and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other under the premise of no conflict.



FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an automatic locking device 100 cooperating with an external locking mechanism 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The locking mechanism 200 includes a transmission rod 220 and a locking point 210 fixed on the transmission rod 220. The locking point 210 can be automatically locked into the automatic locking device 100 along a locking path in a horizontal movement direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 1. The transmission rod 220 can be driven by an external force to drive the locking point 210 to move up and down in an up-down movement direction perpendicular to the horizontal movement direction. The locking mechanism 200 can be realized by the prior art and will not be described in detail in the present disclosure. The automatic locking device 100 mainly includes a locking base 110, a locking tongue 120, a locking cover 130, a force assisting rod 140, and an unlocking rod 150. The locking tongue 120 is slidably mounted on the locking base 110 in an elastic resettable manner in the up-down movement direction perpendicular to the horizontal movement direction in which the locking point 210 is locked. The locking cover 130 is fixedly connected to the locking base 110 to cover the locking tongue 120.


Particularly, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, the locking base 110 is provided with a first sliding groove 111 and a second sliding groove 112 extending in an up-down direction. A first sliding block 1211 and a second sliding block 1212 are protruded on a surface of the locking tongue 120 opposite to the locking base 110. The first sliding block 1211 and the second sliding block 1212 cooperate with the first sliding groove 111 and the second sliding groove 112, respectively. The first sliding block 1211 and the second sliding block 1212 are slidably inserted into the corresponding first sliding groove 111 and the second sliding groove 112, so as to guide the locking tongue 120 to slide up and down relative to the locking base 110. The locking cover 130 includes a top plate 131, two side plates 132 and 133 located on both sides of the top plate 131, and a lower end plate 134 located on a lower end of the top plate 131. The locking cover 130 is fixedly connected to the locking base 110 by a first rivet 171 and a second rivet 172 respectively provided at upper and lower ends in a sliding direction of the locking tongue 120, thereby covering the locking tongue 120 in a space surrounded by the top plate 131 and the two side plates 132 and 133. The first sliding block 1211 and the second sliding block 121 of the locking tongue 120 are restricted from being disengaged from the first sliding groove 111 and the second sliding groove 112 of the locking base 110 (see FIG. 4), thereby ensuring that the locking tongue 120 can only slide up and down. Furthermore, the first rivet 171 and the second rivet 172 also act to limit an up and down sliding stroke of the locking tongue 120. When the locking tongue 120 is pushed against to slide down to an end of the sliding stroke, the lower end of the locking tongue 120 will abut against the second rivet 172. When the locking tongue 120 elastically resets upward to the end of the sliding stroke, the upper end of the locking tongue 120 will abut against the first rivet 171, which will be explained later in the description of an operation of the automatic locking device 100.


Particularly, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the lower end of the locking tongue 12 in the sliding direction are protruded downward with a first spring mounting column 1221 and a second spring mounting column 1222. Upper ends of a first spring 161 and a second spring 162 are sleeved on the first spring mounting column 1221 and the second spring mounting column 1222, respectively. Lower ends of the first spring 161 and the second spring 162 abut against the lower end plate 134 of the locking cover 130, respectively. When the locking tongue 120 slides downward under an action of external force, the first spring 161 and the second spring 162 will be compressed and deformed. After the external force is released, the first spring 161 and the second spring 162 restores to its initial shape to enable the locking tongue 120 to be elastically reset upward. In optional embodiments, the first spring 161 and the second spring 162 may be replaced by other elastic member that enables the locking tongue 120 to be elastically reset after the locking tongue 120 slides downward, which is not limited to illustrated embodiments.


As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the locking tongue 120 is provided with a guiding surface 125 facing an outer side of the locking point 210 on the locking path of the locking point 210. The guiding surface 125 is inclined relative to the sliding direction of the locking tongue 120. The guiding surface 125 is preferably an inclined plane or an inclined arc surface. An inner side of the locking tongue 120 away from the guiding surface 125 forms an engaging surface 124 extending in the sliding direction, and preferably forms an engaging groove 123 configured to lock the locking point 210. Further, the locking tongue 120 is further provided with a first mounting cylinder 126 and a second mounting cylinder 127 protruding from both sides of the engaging groove 123. The force assisting rod 140 is provided with a first mounting hole 141. The force assisting rod 140 is sleeved on the first mounting cylinder 126 through the first mounting hole 141, so as to rotate around the first mounting cylinder 126 relative to the locking tongue 120. The force assisting rod 140 is provided with a first force assisting surface 142 located outside and below the guiding surface 125 of the locking tongue 120, and a second force assisting surface 143 located between the first mounting cylinder 126 and the first rivet 171 and abutting against the first rivet 171. The first force assisting surface 142 is preferably a vertical plane facing the locking point 210. The second force assisting surface 143 is preferably an arc surface cooperating with an outer periphery of the first rivet 171. The unlocking rod 150 is provided with a second mounting hole sleeved on the second mounting cylinder 127, thereby rotating around the second mounting cylinder 127 relative to the locking tongue 120. The unlocking rod 150 is provided with a first acting surface 152 and a second acting surface 153. The first acting surface 152 is located behind the guiding surface 125 of the locking tongue 120 along a horizontal locking direction of the locking point 210. The second acting surface 153 is located on an upper end of the unlocking rod 150. The first acting surface 152 is preferably a vertical plane facing the locking point 210. The second acting surface 153 is preferably a horizontal plane. The locking tongue 120 is further provided with a third mounting cylinder 128 and a V-shaped elastic member 180 is arranged around the third mounting cylinder 128. An end of the V-shaped elastic member 180 abuts against other side of the unlocking rod 150 opposite to the first acting surface 152. The other end of the V-shaped elastic member 180 abuts against a limiting wall 129 protruding from the locking tongue 120. The first acting surface 152 of the unlocking rod 150 is pushed against by the locking point 210, so that the unlocking rod 150 rotates around the second mounting cylinder 127 away from the force assisting rod 140 to avoid the locking tongue 120, the V-shaped elastic member 180 is compressed and deformed. After a pushing force is removed, the V-shaped elastic member 180 recovers to enable the unlocking rod 150 to rotate reversely and reset. In optional embodiments, the V-shaped elastic member 180 may also be replaced by other forms of elastic members, which is not limited to the illustrated embodiments.


As shown in FIG. 6, the automatic locking device 100 according to the above embodiment of the present disclosure normally cooperates with the locking point 210 to realize automatic locking. When a window sash is closed from an open state, the locking point 210 moves along the locking path indicated by an arrow in the horizontal direction in FIG. 6. The locking point 210 firstly abuts against the guiding surface 125 of the locking tongue 120 and then pushes against the guiding surface 125, so that the locking tongue 120 slides downward relative to the locking base 110 in a direction indicated by the vertical downward arrow in FIG. 6. Meanwhile, when the locking point 210 pushes against the guiding surface 125 to abut against the first acting surface 152 of the unlocking rod 150, the locking tongue 120 pushes against the first acting surface 152 to enable the unlocking rod 150 to rotate about the second mounting cylinder 127 away from the force assisting rod 140, so that the unlocking rod 150 can avoid the locking point 210, and compresses and deforms the V-shaped elastic member 180. When the locking point 210 crosses the guiding surface 125, the pushing force against the locking tongue 120 is released, and the locking tongue 120 is elastically reset. Specially, the locking tongue 120 slides upward in a direction indicated by a vertical upward arrow in FIG. 6 until the upper end of the locking tongue 120 abuts against the first rivet 171, the locking tongue 120 resets in place. At this time, the locking point 210 is clamped between the unlocking rod 150 and the engaging surface 124 of the locking tongue 120, and the engaging surface 124 blocks a horizontal outward movement of the locking point 210 and locks the locking point 210.


When the locking point 210 is away from the automatic locking device 100 compare to the normal position shown in FIG. 6 due to a tilting or dropping of the window sash, referring to FIG. 7, the locking point 210 moves along the locking path in a direction indicated by the horizontal arrow in FIG. 7. Firstly, the locking point 210 abuts against the first force assisting surface 142 of the force assisting rod 140. Then the locking point 210 pushes against the first force assisting surface 142 during continued horizontal movement to enable the force assisting rod 140 to rotate around the first mounting cylinder 126. At the same time, the second force assisting surface 143 of the force assisting rod 140 abuts against the outer periphery of the first rivet 171, and takes the first rivet 171 as a fulcrum to enable the locking tongue 120 to slide in a direction indicated by a vertical downward arrow in FIG. 7, so as to drive the guiding surface 125 of the locking tongue 120 to move downward until the locking point 210 abuts against the guiding surface 125. Thereafter, the locking point 210 pushes against the guiding surface 125 and continues to push the locking tongue 120 to slide downward as in the normal automatic locking process shown in FIG. 6, while the first acting surface 152 of the unlocking rod 150 is pushed against by the locking tongue 120 to rotate away from the force assisting rod 140 to avoid the locking point 210. When the locking point 210 crosses the guiding surface 125, the locking tongue 120 is elastically reset and slide upward, and the locking point 210 is locked between the engaging surface 124 and the unlocking rod 150. At the same time, during the elastic resetting of the locking tongue 120, the second force assisting surface 143 of the force assisting rod 140 abuts against the outer periphery of the first rivet 171 again to enable the force assisting rod 140 to rotate reversely and reset.


After the locking point 210 is locked into the automatic locking device 100 through the automatic locking process shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7, a handle of the transmission rod 220 for driving the locking mechanism 200 is rotated from a flat-open state to a locking state, so that the locking point 210 can be driven to move upward along the engaging surface 124 of the locking tongue 120 to break away from the blocking of the engaging surface 124. As shown in FIG. 8, the locking base 110 is further provided with a blocking wall 117 aligned with the engaging surface 124 of the locking tongue 120 to prevent the horizontal outward movement of the locking point 210. The locking point 210 continues to be locked, and the window sash is in a normal locking state. Meanwhile, the upward movement of the locking point 210 releases a pushing force against the unlocking rod 150. The unlocking rod 150 rotates reversely and resets under the elastic force of the V-shaped elastic member 180 to restore to its initial shape. At this time, the second acting surface 153 of the unlocking rod 150 is located directly below the locking point 210 and above the engaging surface 124 of the locking tongue 120.


Referring to FIG. 9, when the handle of the transmission rod 220 for driving the locking mechanism 200 is rotated from the locking state to the flat-open state, the locking point 210 is driven to move downward along a direction of the vertical downward arrow in FIG. 9. During a downward movement of the locking point 210, the locking point 210 will abut against the second acting surface 153 of the unlocking rod 150, then the unlocking rod 150 drives the locking tongue 120 to slide downward through the second acting surface 153, so that the locking tongue 120 can avoid the locking point 210. When the locking point 210 moves down to free from the blocking of the blocking wall 117, the locking tongue 120 also slides downward to an end of the sliding stroke where the lower end of the locking tongue 120 abuts with the second rivet 172. At this time, the locking point 210 can be disengaged from the automatic locking device 100 in a direction indicated by a horizontal arrow in FIG. 9 to realize unlocking. Thereafter, the locking tongue 120 is elastically reset, and the automatic locking device 100 returns to initial state.


According to the automatic locking device 100 of the above embodiment, the automatic locking of the locking point 210 can be achieved through the cooperation of the guiding surface 125 of the slidable locking tongue 120 and the engaging surface 124. The force assisting rod 140 mounted on the locking tongue 120 is rotated to compensate for a temporary failure of the guiding surface caused by the downward movement of the locking point 210, and the locking point 210 can be unlocked from the automatic locking state to the normal locking state by rotating the unlocking rod 150 mounted on the locking tongue 120. According to the automatic locking device 100 of the above embodiments, the locking point 210 also can be locked automatically and normally even if the locking point 210 is away from the automatic locking device 100 due to a tilting or dropping of the window sash, improving safety performance of a window and user experience. Moreover, a structure of the automatic locking device 100 for preventing failure due to downward movement of the locking point 210 and an unlocking structure are simple and practical, and convenient to be mounted. In addition, according to the automatic locking device 100 of the above embodiments, by providing the blocking wall 117, it is ensured that a user must first drive the locking point 210 downward by a handle before unlocking, so as to avoid opening the window before the locking point 210 returns to the automatic locking position and causing a failure to realize automatic locking the next time.

Referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the window includes a window frame 300 and a window sash 400. The window sash 400 includes the aforementioned locking mechanism 200. The window frame 300 includes the aforementioned automatic locking device 100. As shown in FIG. 2, upper and lower ends of the locking base 110 are respectively provided with mounting holes 115 and 116. The locking base 110 may be fixed to the window frame 300 by a screw 191 passing through the mounting holes 115, 116, a rubber ring 191 and a washer 193 and being threadedly connected to the window frame 300. When the locking point 210 of the locking mechanism 200 is locked into the automatic locking device 100, the window sash 400 is locked and closed (as shown in FIG. 10). When the locking point 210 of the locking mechanism 200 is unlocked and disengaged from the automatic locking device 100, the window sash 400 is unlocked and opened (as shown in FIG. 11). In optional embodiments, the window frame 300 includes the locking mechanism 200 and the window sash 400 includes the automatic locking device 100, and the locking and unlocking of the window sash 400 can also be realized by the cooperation of the locking point 210 and the automatic locking device 100.
