Abstract
A locking mechanism includes: a mounting housing; a shaft sleeve rotatably arranged on the mounting housing and having an inner wall provided with a first snap structure; a locking assembly, at least a part of the locking assembly being movably arranged in the shaft sleeve, and the locking assembly being provided with a second snap structure cooperating with the first snap structure; and a driving member, at least a part of the driving member being movably arranged on and passing through the mounting housing, wherein the driving member is in driving connection with at least a part of the locking assembly, and the driving member drives the second snap structure to be snapped with or separated from the first snap structure.
Claims18
A locking mechanism, comprising:
- a mounting housing;
- a shaft sleeve rotatably arranged on the mounting housing, an inner wall of the shaft sleeve being provided with a first snap structure;
- a locking assembly, at least a part of the locking assembly being movably arranged in the shaft sleeve, and the locking assembly having a second snap structure configured to cooperate with the first snap structure;
- and
- a driving member, at least a part of the driving member being movably arranged on and passing through the mounting housing, the driving member being in driving connection with at least a part of the locking assembly, and the driving member configured to drive the second snap structure to be snapped with or separated from the first snap structure,
- wherein the locking assembly further comprises:
- a pushing block movably arranged in the shaft sleeve, the driving member configured to drive the pushing block to move in an axial direction;
- and
- a locking portion arranged along a peripheral edge of the pushing block, the second snap structure being arranged on a side of the locking portion away from the pushing block, and the pushing block configured to push the locking portion to move in a radial direction,
- wherein the locking portion comprises a plurality of locking blocks arranged along a peripheral direction of the pushing block, and the second snap structure is arranged on a side of each locking block away from the pushing block,
- wherein the locking portion further comprises an elastic ring, respective outer sides of the plurality of locking blocks are provided with snap slots extending peripherally, and the elastic ring is arranged in the plurality of snap slots.
A vehicle, comprising a locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism comprises:
- a mounting housing;
- a shaft sleeve rotatably arranged on the mounting housing, an inner wall of the shaft sleeve being provided with a first snap structure;
- a locking assembly, at least a part of the locking assembly being movably arranged in the shaft sleeve, and the locking assembly having a locking position where a second snap structure of the locking assembly is snapped with the first snap structure and an avoiding position where the second snap structure is separated from the first snap structure;
- and
- a driving member, at least a part of the driving member being movably arranged on and passing through the mounting housing, the driving member being in driving connection with at least a part of the locking assembly, and the driving member configured to drive the second snap structure to be snapped with or separated from the first snap structure,
- wherein the locking assembly further comprises:
- a pushing block movably arranged in the shaft sleeve, the driving member configured to drive the pushing block to move in an axial direction;
- and
- a locking portion arranged along a peripheral edge of the pushing block, the second snap structure being arranged on a side of the locking portion away from the pushing block, and the pushing block configured to push the locking portion to move in a radial direction,
- wherein the locking portion comprises a plurality of locking blocks arranged along a peripheral direction of the pushing block, and the second snap structure is arranged on a side of each locking block away from the pushing block,
- wherein the locking portion further comprises an elastic ring, respective outer sides of the plurality of locking blocks are provided with snap slots extending peripherally, and the elastic ring is arranged in the plurality of snap slots.
A locking mechanism, comprising:
- a mounting housing;
- a shaft sleeve rotatably arranged on the mounting housing, an inner wall of the shaft sleeve being provided with a first snap structure;
- a locking assembly, at least a part of the locking assembly being movably arranged in the shaft sleeve, and the locking assembly having a second snap structure configured to cooperate with the first snap structure;
- and
- a driving member, at least a part of the driving member being movably arranged on and passing through the mounting housing, the driving member being in driving connection with at least a part of the locking assembly, and the driving member configured to drive the second snap structure to be snapped with or separated from the first snap structure,
- wherein the locking assembly further comprises:
- a pushing block movably arranged in the shaft sleeve, the driving member configured to drive the pushing block to move in an axial direction;
- and
- a locking portion arranged along a peripheral edge of the pushing block, the second snap structure being arranged on a side of the locking portion away from the pushing block, and the pushing block configured to push the locking portion to move in a radial direction,
- wherein the locking portion comprises a plurality of locking blocks arranged along a peripheral direction of the pushing block, and the second snap structure is arranged on a side of each locking block away from the pushing block,
- wherein the locking assembly further comprises:
- a guide block arranged on the mounting housing and spaced apart from the pushing block, wherein the plurality of locking blocks are arranged along a peripheral direction of the guide block;
- the guide block is provided with a first guide surface, each locking block is provided with a second guide surface cooperating with the first guide surface, and the first guide surface abuts against the second guide surface to guide the plurality of locking blocks by the guide block;
- the mounting housing is provided with a first limiting portion, at least one of the pushing block and the guide block is provided with a second limiting portion, and the first limiting portion cooperates with the second limiting portion to limit the at least one of the pushing block and the guide block from rotating;
- and
- a first limiting structure arranged on each locking block, wherein the locking mechanism further comprises a second limiting structure configured to cooperate with the first limiting structure and arranged on at least one of the pushing block and the guide block to limit movement of the locking block.
