Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a door lock device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a door lock device which is detached easily.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
A conventional door lock device has a dead bolt and a latch bolt. However, the latch bolt will block a door while the door is opened. Furthermore, a doorknob is often protruded from an outer face of the door. Thus a child may bump into the doorknob accidentally. If a core of the conventional door lock device is broken, the whole door lock device should be replaced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a door lock device which can be disassembled easily. Thus a core of the door lock device can be replaced easily.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a door lock device which has a case frame having an upper hollow cylinder inserted through an upper through hole of a door and a lower hollow cylinder inserted through a lower through hole of the door so that an outer face of the case frame can contact an outer face of the door flatly.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a door lock device which has a drive mechanism having a rack to drive a latch bolt device so that the latch bolt device will not block a door while the door is opened.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a door lock device which has a torsion spring to force a first pressing plate contacting a case frame while the first pressing plate is not operated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to
FIGS. 1
to
7
B, a door lock device is disposed on a door
1
. The door
1
has an upper through hole
11
and a lower through hole
12
. The door lock device includes a latch bolt device
6
disposed on the door
1
, a case frame
2
having an upper hollow cylinder
22
inserted through the upper through hole
11
and a lower hollow cylinder
23
inserted through the lower through hole
12
, a first pressing plate
8
disposed on the case frame
2
, and a drive mechanism
5
disposed in the upper hollow cylinder
22
.
The case frame
2
further has a recess
21
. A core
3
has a driven block
31
. A lock fastener device
4
has a lateral elastic block
42
and a blocking bar
41
.
The upper hollow cylinder
22
has an inner groove
222
, a lateral slot
221
, and a core seat
223
receiving the core
3
and the lock fastener device
4
. The core seat
223
has a bottom hole
224
.
The drive mechanism
5
has a rack
53
to drive the latch bolt device
6
, and a drive frame
51
having a gear set
52
to drive the rack
53
. The rack
53
has an upper groove
532
. The rack
53
passes through the lateral slot
221
to connect to the latch bolt device
6
. A pressing device
81
′ is disposed in the upper hollow cylinder
22
to connect to the drive frame
51
. The pressing device
81
′ has a protruded block
82
′.
The blocking bar
41
is inserted in the upper groove
532
. A compression spring S is disposed between the drive frame
51
and the rack
53
. A torsion spring S
1
is disposed between the core
3
and the lock fastener device
4
.
The first pressing plate
8
has an upper pressing portion
81
. The recess
21
receives the first pressing plate
8
.
A locking plate
71
covers the upper through hole
11
and the lower through hole
12
.
A decoration plate
72
is disposed on the locking plate
71
. The decoration plate
72
has an opening
73
. A second pressing plate
8
′ is disposed on the decoration plate
72
. The opening
73
receives the second pressing plate
8
′. An upper portion of the second pressing plate
8
′ is connected to the pressing device
81
′.
The compression spring S pushes the latch bolt device
6
to extend (as shown in FIG.
3
A). When the compression spring S is compressed, the latch bolt device
6
retracts (as shown in FIG.
3
B).
Referring to
FIG. 6B
, the blocking bar
41
is inserted in the upper groove
532
. The lateral elastic block
42
is inserted in the bottom hole
224
(as shown in FIG.
4
A). Since the blocking bar
41
is inserted in the upper groove
532
, the latch bolt device
6
locks the door
1
.
When the second pressing plate
8
′ is operated, the protruded block
82
′ contacts the lateral elastic block
42
to force the lateral elastic block
42
to retract (as shown in FIG.
5
). When the core
3
is rotated to contact the lateral elastic block
42
, the core
3
forces the lateral elastic block
42
to retract.
When the lateral elastic block
42
disengages from the bottom hole
224
, the torsion spring S
1
pushes the lateral elastic block
42
to move (as shown in FIG.
4
B).
Referring to
FIGS. 8 and 9
, a connection frame
92
is disposed between the upper portion of the second pressing plate
8
′ and the pressing device
81
′. A link
91
has a first end connected to the connection frame
92
and a second end connected to the second pressing plate
8
′. The user can press the second pressing plate
8
′ to produce a pressing force.
