When the user pushes the pressing shell 13 to the direction of the base 11 (i.e. shown in
Further, when the user does not push the pressing shell 13, the elastic restoring force of the elastic part 124 supports the roller column 122 so that the roller column 122 is lifted up to move to one end of the sliding hole 1214, two ends of the roller column 122 lift up the pressing shell 13. Additionally, the auxiliary torsion spring 140 drives the gearing component 141 to rotate counterclockwise, making the pressing part 1411 of the gearing component 141 lift up the inner side of the pressing shell 13. At meanwhile, the lock torsion spring 148 also drives the lock 142 to rotate outwardly, the lock gearing part 1422 of the lock 142 pushes downwardly the gearing part 1413 of the gearing component 141, and the pressing part 1411 of the gearing component 141 is driving to lift up the inner side of the pressing shell 13, thereby the fixing protrusion part 1421 of the lock 142 rotating outwardly again from the locking base 143.
In summary, A door lock structure is provided in which the fixing plate of the pressing component serves as a structure of adjusting the fixed position of the pressing base. The locking part sequentially locks the first locking hole of the base, the adjusting hole of the pressing base and the second locking hole of the fixing plate. The first locking hole of the base and the second locking hole of the fixing plate are in relatively restricted fixing positions. The hole area of the adjusting hole of the pressing base is larger than the hole areas of the first locking hole and the second locking hole, so the fixing position of the pressing base is not limited by the first locking hole and the second locking hole. Thus, the pressing base can adjust position according to the tolerance of the inner structure, which is beneficial to the assembly of the door lock structure.
