The recreational vehicle lock body 1 includes an outer shell 6, an inner shell 7, and a handle assembly 8. The outer shell 6 is detachably fastened and connected to the inner shell 7. The lock cylinder device 2 is located on a back surface of the outer shell 6. The handle assembly 8 is arranged on the outer shell 6 and the inner shell 7. The lock cylinder device 2 includes a bevel spring bolt 201, a lock bar 202, a spring 203, a connecting rod 204, and a double locking assembly 9. The bevel spring bolt 201 capable of extending and retracting laterally and the lock bar 202 are arranged in the outer shell 6. The lock bar 202 is located on one side of the bevel lock bar 201. A tail end of the bevel lock bar 201 resists against and is provided with the spring 203, so that the spring 203 pushes the bevel spring bolt 201 to extend outwards. The double locking assembly 9 is arranged on a rear side of the lock bar 202. The double locking assembly 9 is movably connected to the lock bar 202 through the connecting rod 204. The bevel spring bolt 201 is laterally movably connected to the handle assembly 8.
The handle assembly 8 includes an inner handle 801 and an outer handle 802. The inner shell 7 is provided with the inner handle 801 connected to a lateral rotating shaft. The outer shell 6 is provided with the outer handle 802 connected to the lateral rotating shaft. A square hole 205 is formed in the bevel spring bolt 201. An inner swing arm 803 is arranged on one surface of the inner handle 801. An outer swing arm 804 is arranged on one surface of the outer handle 802. A tail end of the inner swing arm 803 and a tail end of the outer swing arm 804 are both located in the square hole 205. During use in the recreational vehicle, the inner handle 801 is pulled. The inner handle 801 rotates in one direction along the lateral shaft, and the inner swing arm 803 located in a lateral direction does arc rotation to drive the bevel spring bolt 201 to inwards retract. After the inner handle 801 is released, the bevel spring bolt 201 is reset to extend outwards. During use outside the recreational vehicle, the outer handle 802 is pulled. The outer handle 802 rotates in one direction along the lateral shaft, and the outer swing arm 804 located in the lateral direction does arc rotation to drive the bevel spring bolt 201 to inwards retract. After the outer handle 802 is released, the bevel spring bolt 201 is reset to extend outwards. The tail end of the inner swing arm 803 and the tail end of the outer swing arm 804 are always maintained in the square hole 205.
A second mechanical lock 805 is arranged on the outer handle 802. An end portion of the second mechanical lock 805 is in limiting connection to an inner side end of the outer handle 802. For example, outside the recreational vehicle, the second mechanical lock 805 is locked through a key. A limiting block arranged at a tail end of the second mechanical lock 805 achieves limitation by being clamped to a shaft connection position where the outer handle 802 is located, so that the outer handle 802 cannot swing in one direction, and a stranger is prevented from moving the outer handle 802 or damaging the outer handle 802 at a will.
The double locking assembly 9 includes a rotating column 901, a manual double locking shank 902, and a first mechanical lock 903. The outer shell 6 is provided with the first mechanical lock 903.

The protruding portion 904 is connected to the connecting rod 204. During use, inside the recreational vehicle, double locking is achieved by rotating the manual double locking shank 902, and the rotating column 901 is driven to rotate clockwise. The connecting rod 204 driven by the protruding portion 904 drives the lock bar 202 to extend out laterally, and a door of the recreational vehicle is locked. Outside the recreational vehicle, the first mechanical lock 903 is unlocked using a key, and the rotating column 901 is driven to rotate anticlockwise. In this way, the protruding portion 904 pulls the connecting rod 204 to drive the lock bar 202 to retract laterally, and the door of the recreational vehicle is opened.
In this embodiment, a diamond-shaped limiting block 206 is arranged in the outer shell 6. A 7-shaped gap 207 is arranged on a side end surface of the bevel spring bolt 201.

Two ends of the diamond-shaped limiting block 206 are respectively clamped with the 7-shaped gap 207 and the inverted 7-shaped gap 208. When the manual double locking shank 902 achieves double locking, the inverted 7-shaped gap 208 can block the diamond-shaped limiting block 206. The diamond-shaped limiting block 206 is used to be clamped with the 7-shaped gap 207, so that both the bevel spring bolt 201 and the lock bar 202 cannot move, and the recreational vehicle door is locked. When the manual double locking shank 902 is reset, the avoiding slot 209 on the inverted 7-shaped gap 208 has a space for receiving the diamond-shaped limiting block 206. The inner handle 801 or the outer handle 802 is pulled in one way to drive the bevel spring bolt 201 to retract and move inwards, and the door of the recreational vehicle is opened.
Further, the electrical control device 3 includes a control panel 301, a battery 306, a toggle switch 305, a micro motor 302, a worm wheel 303, and a worm 304.
