Abstract
A device is capable of preventing a door and a user from being damaged by automatically locking the door during a cab tilting of a truck. An automatic door locking device having a new shape in which a locked state of the door can be forcibly maintained in a cab tilted state by an associated operation between a weight and a key lever when the cab is tilted, is implemented so that door unlocking when the cab is tilted cannot be performed and thus damage of the cab caused by opening of the door and user injury can be prevented.

- a lock lever, supported in a coaxial structure with the key lever, is rotatable and releases combination between the key lever and the key load through contact with the key load;
- a weight coupled to one side of the lock lever and rotates the lock lever using its own weight when a cab is tilted,
- wherein an interlocking relationship between the key load and the key lever is ended through the weight and the lock lever in the cab tilted state so that opening of the door is prevented.
