Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a latch assembly for use in a lock mechanism, providing energy saving.
  • Latch assemblies are commonly used in lock mechanisms for securing items such as drawers, cabinets, cabin doors and doorframes.
  • various latches for panel closures have been employed where one of the panels, such as a swinging door, drawer or the like, is to be fastened or secured to a stationary panel, doorframe, cabinet, or compartment body.
  • electrically operated latch assemblies are preferred due to the need for remote or push-button entry, coded access, key-less access, or monitoring of access.
  • a solenoid door lock is a remote door locking mechanism that is operated via an electromagnetic solenoid.
  • the locking mechanism of a solenoid door lock is similar to a conventional key operated mechanism. The only difference between them is that a low voltage solenoid is included in the mechanism that retracts the latch to the door when a button or other controller is activated.
  • the latch is then held as long as the button is pressed until the switch or controller is activated again.
  • this type of lock mechanisms requires high energy usage for keeping the lock open or closed.
  • a malfunction in the locking mechanism for example a voltage loss or an actuator burnout, it is no longer possible to operate the latch electrically.
  • EP3216701 discloses a latch mechanism for releasably locking a lock bolt against axial movement.
  • the mechanism comprises a cylindrical body or housing within which is mounted a slider, to be slidably axially moveable relative to the cylindrical body, the slider biased into a first position by means of a biasing means such as a spring.
  • a retaining means such as one or more balls or ball bearings is provided to retain the slider in the first position relative to the cylindrical body.
  • the retaining means is located between the slider and the cylindrical body.
  • the latch mechanism also includes a pusher arranged to contact the slider and a solenoid arranged to cause the pusher to move axially relative to the cylindrical body when the solenoid is energised.
  • the passive electronic lock proposed in CN113818758A essentially comprises a locking mechanism as well as a status prompting unit, an energy storage unit to ensure both locking and unlocking of the locking mechanism, an energy collection unit, and a control unit.
  • An embodiment of said locking mechanism includes a cavity, a lock groove, a lock bolt provided in the cavity and configured to be fitted into the lock groove, a triggering mechanism for separating the lock bolt from the lock groove, an actuator for activating the triggering mechanism, and an elastic element for maintaining the lock bolt in conflict with the triggering mechanism, i.e., for pushing the lock bolt into the lock groove.
  • the patent document numbered DE102013106220 A discloses a door lock basically having a lock bolt and a thrust element for moving the lock bolt.
  • the thrust element is coupled to the lock bolt via a spring element and lies between the lock bolt and an actuator so that it is driven by the actuator.
  • the actuator acts on a rack gear via another gear in such a way that both the rack gear and the lock bolt move in the same linear direction. Accordingly, the thrust element can be moved from a rear-end position to a front-end position so that the movement of the thrust element can be transmitted to the lock bolt through the spring coupling.
  • the door lock further comprises a sensor for detecting the position of the lock bolt.
  • EP2343424A2 discloses a tumbler having a lock bolt that is movable between a locking and an unlocking end position and an actuator for moving the lock bolt in a linear direction via triggering a transmission element.
  • the tumbler further comprises an energy storage device for buffering the energy of the actuator in case of a blockage of the actuator.
  • the energy storage device is preferably a spring coupled to the lock bolt and the transmission element and capable of being compressed and expanded in accordance with the position of the lock bolt. Accordingly, the lock bolt, transmission, and spring elements are all arranged to move in the same linear direction in order to ensure that the tumbler is locked and unlocked.
  • Primary object of the present invention is to overcome the abovementioned shortcomings of the prior art.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a latch assembly which provides energy saving.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a latch assembly which can be both electromechanically and manually operated.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a latch assembly adaptable to any type of lock mechanism.
