Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001]This utility model relates to a position-limiting device, in particular a position-limiting mechanism that can prevent self-slipping out of drawer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002]At present, storage cabinets with drawers used on mobile tool box, automobiles and office desks are easy to use in unlocked status since drawers can be pulled out freely. However, such drawers are not resistant to shaking and will slip out easily. After slipping out of drawers, the whole cabinet may fall. This results in poor reliability and safety, hence such drawers are only applicable to stable environment. To prevent accidental slipping out of drawers and improve drawer safety, traditional method is to use lock and key mechanism to lock drawers. However, with this method, trouble may come from forgetting to lock drawers, leading to accident. In recent years, key-free drawer locking mechanism (against slipping out) appears on the market, eliminating this trouble and bringing about convenience. Such mechanism mostly has complicated structure and cost even exceeding cost of lock, hence is not satisfactory in terms of economy.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0003]The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new position-limiting mechanism against slipping of drawer totally free of the trouble of use of key and of simple structure and low cost. This new mechanism can lock automatically and allow manual release of locking.
[0004]Drawer anti-slipping position-limiting mechanism of this utility mode mainly consists of arresting pin, keyway, self-plugging rivet, compression spring, control handle, and position-limiting pinch plate, and characterized by that said arresting pin, keyway, self-plugging rivet, compression spring, and control handle are provided in strip shaped drawer handle plate groove, and position-limiting pinch plate fixed on side board of box at a position corresponding to edge of keyway front round hole. Among them: said main body of arresting pin is strip shaped and consists of round pin rod and shouldered pin flap with wedge shaped front part, with said control handle fitted on round pin rod tail end; main body of said keyway is strip shaped with round hole in the middle; on one outer side of front end, protruding installation buckle with position-limiting buckle groove is provided. On the same side near tail end, fixed mounting seat with internal assembling hole is provided. On edge of tail end round hole, internal clip shoulder with mounting hole matching diameter of round pin rod is provided; on said position-limiting pinch plate, position-limiting buckle hole is provided.
[0005]In installed status, drawer anti-slipping position-limiting mechanism is provided in strip shaped drawer handle plate groove. Position-limiting buckle groove on said keyway front protruding installation buckle is buckled on side of drawer front panel, and fixed on the set position at box side of drawer panel via assembling hole on fixed mounting seat near tail end of keyway and self-plugging rivet. The arresting pin extends through middle round hole on keyway as a whole part. Position of compression spring is limited by shouldered pin flap and the internal clip shoulder on edge of keyway tail end round hole, and this spring is fitted on round pin rod of arresting pin. At the same time, a control handle is fixed on extended tail end of arresting pin round pin rod. Position-limiting pinch plate is fixed on box side board where its position-limiting buckle hole corresponds to position of keyway front round hole edge.
[0006]For operation, when not subject to external force, the compression spring is stretched, the control handle is clamped at keyway tail end, and under trust force toward keyway front round hole edge, the wedged shouldered pin flap of arresting pin extends outside. With drawer pulled out, wedge shaped shouldered pin flap on front end of arresting pin is in contact with position-limiting pinch plate on box side. When the drawer is fully pushed inward and wedge shaped shouldered pin flap is aligned with position-limiting buckle hole on position-limiting pinch plate, locking is automatic. To open the drawer, pull handle in reverse direction, so that the arresting pin moves and wedge shaped shouldered pin flap retreats from position-limiting buckle hole, unlocking the drawer.
[0007]In the drawer anti-slipping position-limiting mechanism of this utility model based on above design, since the driving force comes from compression spring control handle and the compression spring is fitted on round pin rod of arresting pin in position-limiting shaft mounted mode, during operation, this spring will stretch or compress in an automatic orderly manner, so that the spring will not break to affect reliability and safety. For installation, you only need to arrange a position-limiting notch on edge of drawer front panel and provide a position-limiting rivet hole on the panel to mechanism of this utility model in drawer handle plate groove. In addition, there are not many structural members, among them self-plugging rivet and compression spring are standard procured parts, and drawer handle plate and position-limiting pinch plate are basic members of drawer and box; only arresting pin, keyway and control handle are special parts to be fabricated. Further more, structure of such special parts is simple, and fabrication of is easy. Therefore, production cost is extremely low, even lower than cost of normal lock, installation and operation is easy, and operation is reliable and safe. This invention is especially suitable for drawers subject to movement and poor stability environment.
