The present invention relates to the field of protection apparatuses, and in particular, relates to a rotary door stop.
In everyday life, doors may be closed by wind or opened or closed by children or pets playing in and out, which may cause adverse effects such as noise or finger pinch. A door stop for preventing closing of the door is thus provided in the form of a clamp, a hook, a wedge, or the like.
A rotary door stop, which is more convenient to use than the other door stops described above, may be rotated after being secured to the door, such that the rotary door stop is partially protruded between a door body and a door frame to stop closing of the door, or may be rotated to an inner side of an edge of the door body so as not to affect closing of the door.
However, conventional rotary door stops generally require manual operations by users and are not convenient to use. For example, CN204609590U has disclosed a safety door stop, CN206917572U has disclosed a child safety door stop, and CN212079135U has disclosed a child anti-pinch door stop. These prior patents have all disclosed a rotary door stop.
The present disclosure is intended to provide a rotary door stop which is convenient to use and capable of switching between a stop state and a non-stop state.
According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a rotary door stop is provided. The rotary door stop includes:
According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a rotary door stop is provided. The rotary door stop includes:
The rotary door stop according to the present disclosure achieves the following beneficial effects:
1. The rotary door stop is convenient to use, and the rotary door stop is switchable between the locked state and the unlocked state by rotation of the door stop body. In addition, the operating member may be arranged on the rotatably arranged door stop body, or may be arranged on the fixedly arranged door stop rotation base.
2. By correspondingly arranging the rotation limiting mechanisms, the door stop body may be limited and retained to the unlocked state, such that when the user closes the door body, the user does not need to operate door body while operating the rotary door stop, but only needs to first rotate the rotary door stop to the unlocked position and then close the door body.
3. In a preferred embodiment, the rotary door stop also has the automatic unlocking function. That is, after the door body is closed, since the door frame and the first operating member acts on each other, limit of the rotary door stop at the unlocked position is released; and when the door body is opened again, the door stop body is capable of automatically rotating to the locked state, thereby implementing a convenient operation for door closing at a single time.
4. In a preferred embodiment, the rotary door stop also has the constant opening function. That is, by adjusting the second operating member, the door stop body is long-time retained at the unlocked position, such that the door body can be freely opened or closed without being influenced by the rotary door stop. Where the function of the rotary door stop is implemented, the function is restored only by releasing the second operating member. Therefore, the use is convenient.
5. In other embodiments, unlocking of the rotary door stop at the unlocked position is manually implemented. That is, the door stop body is first rotated to the unlocked position, and after the door body is closed, the rotary door stop is retained in the unlocked state; after the door body is opened, the first operating member or the second operating member is operated to release limit of the door stop body to cause the door stop body to rotate to the locked state (or limit of the door stop body is first released, and then the door body is closed).
6. In a simple embodiment, the rotary door stop may be retained in an intention of rotating to the locked state, and where the door is to be closed, the rotary door stop is manually rotated to the unlocked position and retained in the unlocked state, and then the door is closed.
A rotary door stop 200 is configured to be mounted on a door body or a door frame, to extend out of the door body or the door frame to prevent the door body from being closed. Hereinafter, description is given using a scenario where the rotary door stop 200 is mounted on a surface of the door body.
As illustrated in
In this embodiment, the rotary door stop 200 is entirely elongated, one end of the rotary door stop 200 is formed as the rotation base end 21, and the other end of the rotary door stop 200 is formed as the stop arm 22. A bottom surface of the rotary door stop 200 is arranged close to the surface of the door body, and a top surface of the rotary door stop 200 is configured to be in contact with the door frame to achieve a stop effect.
As illustrated in
In this embodiment, configuration of the rotary door stop 200 is not limited to that illustrated in
As illustrated in
In this embodiment, two ends of the mounting assisting member body 101 are formed as positioning ends 104. During assisting of mounting, in the case that the door body is closed, the mounting assisting member body 101 is attached on the surface of the door body and the positioning ends 104 at the two ends of the mounting assisting member body 101 are caused to abut against the door frame; then the door body is opened, and the rotary door stop 200 is positioned and mounted in the mounting positioning slot 102; and finally; the mounting assisting member 100 is removed.
As illustrated in
In this embodiment, a rotation angle of the door stop body 220 relative to the door stop rotation base 210 is approximately 90 degrees, such that when the door stop body 220 rotates to a horizontal position, the door stop body 220 extends out between the door body and the door frame to achieve a stop effect, and when the door stop body 220 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise at an angle of 90 degrees to a vertical position, the door stop body 220 is on an inner side of an edge of the door body such that closing of the door body is not stopped.
When the door stop body 220 rotates to the horizontal position, the door stop body 220 stops closing of the door body and thus defines a locked position (a locked state); and when the door stop body 220 rotates to the vertical position, the door stop body 220 allows closing of the door body and thus define an unlocked position (an unlocked state).
In this embodiment, the stop arm 22 and the buffering portion 23 are both formed on the door stop body 220. In addition, a rotation base slot 204 that is recessed is arranged on a bottom surface of the door stop body 220. The rotation base slot 204 is configured to allow the door stop rotation base 210 to be engaged therein, such that the bottom surface of the rotary door stop 200 formed by the door stop body 220 and the door stop rotation base 210 is approximately a planar surface. In this way, the door stop body 220 is capable of stably rotating on the surface of the door body.
As illustrated in
Nevertheless, in other embodiments, by changing a relative positional relationship between the two rotation limiting members 205, the rotation angle of the door stop body 220 relative to the door stop rotation base 210 may be any other desired angle value.
As illustrated in
A first operating member 221 and a second operating member 222 are arranged between the first body member 201 and the second body member 202. The first operating member 221 and the second operating member 222 are configured to be engaged onto the door stop rotation base 210 to control the door stop body 220 to rotate or to be locked relative to the door stop rotation base 210.
In this embodiment, the door stop body 220 further includes a resetting torsion spring 223. The resetting torsion spring 223 is arranged between the door stop rotation base 210 and the door stop body 220, such that the door stop body 220 is capable of spontaneously rotating from the unlocked position to the locked position.

In this embodiment, the second locking portion 211 is a locking recess, the fourth locking portion 301 is a locking protrusion, and the second locking portion 211 and the fourth locking portion 301 are engaged with each other to limit the door stop body.
The first operating member 221 is configured to lock the door stop body 220 to the unlocked position by engagement between the third locking portion 313 and the first locking portion 212 when the door stop body 220 rotates to the unlocked position. The second operating member 222 is configured to lock the door stop body 220 to the unlocked position by engagement between the fourth locking portion 301 and the second locking portion 211 when the door stop body 220 rotates to the unlocked position. The second operating member 222 is formed as a constantly-opened lock, and the first operating member 221 is formed as an automatic lock.
In this embodiment, the first operating member 221 and the first locking portion 212 are engaged with each other to form a first rotation limiting mechanism, and the second operating member 222 and the second locking portion 211 are engaged with each other to form a second rotation limiting mechanism. The two rotation limiting mechanisms are configured to temporarily and long-time limit and lock the door stop body 220, such that the door stop body 220 is temporarily or long-time in the unlocked state.
As illustrated in
In this embodiment, a slot is formed an upper surface of the rotation base body only on the second locking portion 211. Therefore, at other positions other than this position, the second operating member 222 is incapable of moving along the direction of the Z axis, or the second operating member 222 is capable of moving but a movement stoke is not sufficient to form a constantly opened state.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
In this embodiment, an operation resetting member, for example, a resetting spring, is arranged between the first operating member 221 and the door stop body 220, such that the first operating member 221 retains an extending intention with respect to the door stop body 220 along a negative direction of a Y axis.
When the door stop body 220 rotates from the locked position relative to the door stop rotation base 210, the third locking portion 313 rotates along the rotation base slot wall 218. When the third locking portion 313 approaches the unlocked position, the first limiting portion 214 and the second guiding portion 315 act on each other, such that the first operating member 221 retracts along the Y axis. In this way, the second limiting portion 314 and the second guiding portion 315 are automatically engaged with each other to achieve limiting, such that the door stop body 220 is locked in the unlocked state relative to the door stop rotation base 210.
In this embodiment, the first operating member 221 is arranged on a right side (or a left side) of the door stop body 220, such that when the door stop body 220 is mounted close to the door frame, in the case that the door stop body 220 is in the unlocked state to cause the door to be closed, the first operating member 221 is acted by the door frame to retract and displace inwards along a positive direction of the Y axis, such that the limit effect between the second limiting portion 314 and the first limiting portion 214 is released. When a user opens the door body, the door stop body 220 is capable of automatically rotating to the locked state under the effect of the resetting torsion spring 223.
Therefore, use of the rotary door stop 200 is described as follows:
1. Mounting of the rotary door stop 200 is assisted by the mounting assisting member 100, such that the position satisfies requirements to achieve automatic unlocking in daily use. The process of assisting positioning and mounting of the mounting assisting member 100 is as described above, and upon completion of mounting, the mounting assisting member 100 is removed.
2. During normal use, the door stop body 220 is by default in the locked state at the horizontal position, and the stop arm 22 is between the door body and the door frame to prevent closing of the door body. In this process, the buffering portion 23 acts on the door frame to achieve buffering and mutation effects.
3. When the door body needs to be closed, the door stop body 220 is rotated counterclockwise in a state where the door body is opened, such that the door stop body 220 moves upwards to a vertical position. In this case, the door stop body 220 does not stop closing of the door body, and the door stop body 220 may be retained in the unlocked state until the user closes the door body.
4. When the door body is closed, the first operating member 221 of the door stop body 220 is acted by the door frame to retract inwards, such that the limit effect between the second limiting portion 314 and the first limiting portion 214 is released.
5. When the door body is opened again, since the limit effect is released and the resetting torsion spring 223 acts, the door stop body 220 rotates clockwise relative to the door stop rotation base 210 at an angle of 90 degrees to the locked state at the horizontal position, such that subsequently automatically stopping closing of the door body is achieved.
6. Described above is an operating mode of closing the door for a single time, where the door body needs to be closed for multiple times, in the case that the door stop body 220 rotates to the unlocked state, the second operating member 222 may be operated, such that the fourth locking portion 301 and the second locking portion 211 are male-female engaged with each other to long-time lock rotation of the door stop body 220 relative to the door stop rotation base 210, that is, the rotary door stop does not function, or a constantly opened state of the rotary door stop is defined.
In other embodiments, either of the first limiting portion 214 and the second guiding portion 315 may be a guiding curved surface or a guiding planar surface.
It should be noted that the above description is given using
For example, the positions of the first operating member 221 and the second operating member 222 are exchanged (corresponding adjustments are also made to the other engaged parts). This is substantially the same as the above practice. However, only the position of the unlocked state is changed from the upward vertical direction to the downward vertical direction, which does not change the function of the product. Optionally, the first operating member 221 is adjusted from a side surface of the door stop body 220 to underneath of the door stop body 220 opposite to the stop arm 22. This may affect implementation of the automatic unlocking functions.
Optionally; the first operating member 221 and the corresponding structure thereof are canceled, and instead, the second operating member 222 and the engaged structure thereof are only remained. That is, the second operating member 222 is only remained such that the door stop body 220 is locked when rotating to the unlocked position, such that the user is capable of closing the door with no need of operating the rotary door stop. On the contrary; the case is similar, and the first operating member 221 is only remained.
These changes also achieve the effect of stopping closing of the door body. However, upon unlocking, the door body may not be automatically unlocked but needs to be manually unlocked, that is, whether the rotary door stop is capable of automatically canceling limit or lock of the locked state in closing the door. The manual unlocking may be performed after the door body is closed, which is similar to the automatic unlocking process according to the above embodiment, or the manual unlocking may be performed when the door body is opened again after being closed. These two unlocking patterns achieve substantially the same effect. However, in the first unlocking pattern, the operation is quiet and less damage is caused to the rotary door stop; while in the second unlocking pattern, the operation is performed in the state where the door is opened, and in this case, manual unlocking causes the door stop body 220 to quickly rotate to the locked position and thus cause noise and damage to the product under the effect of the resetting torsion spring 223.
In other embodiments, the rotary door stop 200 may also not provided with the first operating member 221 or the second operating member 222. In this case, where the rotary door stop needs to be closed, the door stop body 220 needs to be first rotated to the unlocked state and the door is closed in this state. After the door is closed, the door stop body 220, under the effect of the resetting torsion spring 223, the door stop body 220 may not be retained at the intention of rotating to the unlocked state but only stopped by the door frame, and when the user opens the door again, the door stop body 220 automatically rotates to the unlocked state to stop closing of the door body.
Nevertheless, in this embodiment, the rotation angle of the door stop body 220 relative to the door stop rotation base 210 is not limited to 90 degrees, which may be any angle value in the range of 90 to 270 degrees. The rotation angle may be defined according to actual needs by defining an angular relationship between the two second rotation limiting members 205.
