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 door locking device for a vehicle, the door locking device comprising:
- a key lever having an aperture and locking or unlocking a door according to an operation of a key load;
- a lock lever, coaxially supported with the key lever, and rotatable with respect to the key lever;
- a weight member coupled to a first side of the lock lever and rotating the lock lever using a weight of the weight member when the weight member is tilted,
- wherein an end of the key load is selectively inserted into and engaged to the aperture of the key lever, and the end of the key load is configured to escape from the aperture by the lock lever rotated by the weight member, thereby a combined state between the key lever and the key load is released, and an interlocking relationship between the key load and the key lever is ended through the weight member and the lock lever during the tilting of the weigh member so that opening of the door is prevented.
