Abstract
The present invention discloses a lock that does not distinguish between public and private spaces and relates to the field of locks, comprising two sub locking systems which have the same structure, wherein the two sub locking systems are arranged mirror symmetrically on two sides. It can be optionally installed on both spaces where privacy is needed and a change of the entire lock is not required, such that all designs of an indoor layout and different requirements for design logics regarding doors are adjusted to, that a locking on both sides in an electrically controlled manner is possible, that rotation of a cylinder on both sides is prevented, and that an unlaching movement on both sides in an electrically controlled manner is possible.
Claims15
A lock that does not distinguish between public and private spaces, comprising two sub locking systems which have the same structure, wherein the two sub locking systems are arranged mirror symmetrically on both sides,
- wherein each of the two sub locking systems comprises a cylinder mechanism, a mechanical locking mechanism and a motored locking system;
- wherein the two mechanical locking mechanisms do not interfere with each other, and the mechanical locking mechanisms limit the opening and locking movements of a latchbolt mechanism, wherein the latchbolt mechanism limits a displacement of the mechanical locking mechanism towards the latchbolt mechanism when the latchbolt mechanism is in an unlatched state;
- wherein the two cylinder mechanisms drive a latchbolt mechanism commonly, wherein the cylinder mechanisms also drive the mechanical locking mechanism to limit the opening and locking movement of the latchbolt mechanism;
- wherein the two motored locking systems do not interfere with each other and are driven by a common motor, wherein output ends of the two motored locking systems perform a periodical swinging movement, wherein an output end of one of the motored locking systems is driven, while an output end of the other motored locking system is not driven;
- wherein the output ends of the motored locking systems control the output from the cylinder mechanisms to the latchbolt mechanism.
