Two-way releasable mortise structure
View Patent ↗A mortise structure of a digital door lock is applicable to a left handed door and a right handed door. The mortise structure is an improved two-way releasable mortise structure which can unlock a latch bolt and a dead bolt by finally converting a rotary force of actuating means into a one-way rotary force even though the actuating means is rotated in an arbitrary direction.
1. A two-way releasable mortise structure comprising:
a latch bolt extended through a hole of a door frame in a locked position to maintain a closed state of a door;
a latch actuation block rotatably actuated to tow the latch bolt to an unlocked position;
a latch actuation block operating part rotated by outdoor actuating means so as to rotate the latch actuation block to tow the latch bolt to the unlocked position;
a dead bolt extended through a hole of the door frame in a locked position to maintain the closed state of a door;
a simultaneously releasable actuation block rotatably actuated to tow the dead bolt to an unlocked position;
a simultaneously releasable actuation block operating part rotated by indoor actuating means so as to rotate the simultaneously releasable actuation block; and
a rotary force conversion member moving in interlock with the latch actuation block operating part and having a first inclined plane in contact with the latch actuation block, and moving in interlock with the simultaneously releasable actuation block operating part and having a second inclined plane in contact with the simultaneously releasable actuation block to tow the dead bolt to the unlocked position,
wherein the latch actuation block operating part has a pressurizing portion and the latch actuation block has a pressure receiving portion which receives pressure by the pressurizing portion, so that the pressurizing portion pushes the pressure receiving portion, causing the latch actuation block operating part and the latch actuation block to be integrally rotated in a first direction when the latch actuation block operating part is rotated in the first direction by the outdoor actuating means, and
wherein when the latch actuation block operating part is rotated by the outdoor actuating means in in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, the first inclined plane of the rotary force conversion means pushes one side of the latch actuation block while the rotary force conversion member, in interlock with the latch actuation block operating part, moves so as to rotate the latch actuation block in the first direction to tow the latch bolt to the unlocked position,
wherein the latch actuation block partially encloses the latch actuation block operating part, and the latch actuation block operating part is rotated in the second direction by the outdoor actuating means within a predetermined angle range before the latch actuation block is rotated in the first direction by the movement of the rotary force conversion member, and is rotated together with the latch actuation block in the first direction within another predetermined angle range by the outdoor actuating means,
wherein the simultaneously releasable actuation block operating part has a pressurizing portion and the simultaneously releasable actuation block has a pressure receiving portion, which received pressure by the pressuring portion, so that the pressurizing portion pushes the pressure receiving portion, causing the simultaneously releasable actuation block operating part and the simultaneously releasable actuation block to be integrally rotated in a third direction when the simultaneously releasable actuation block operating part is rotated in the third direction by the indoor actuation means to tow the dead bolt to the unlocked position,
wherein when the simultaneously releasable actuation block operating part is rotated by the indoor actuating means in a fourth direction, opposite to the third direction, the second inclined plane of the rotary force conversion member pushes one side of the simultaneously releasable actuation block while the rotary force conversion member, in interlock with the simultaneously releasable actuation block operating part, moves so as to rotate the simultaneously releasable actuation block in the third direction to tow the dead bolt to the unlocked position,
wherein the simultaneously releasable actuation block partially encloses the simultaneously releasable actuation block, and the simultaneously releasable actuation block operating part is rotated in the fourth direction by the indoor actuating means within a predetermined angle range before the simultaneously releasable actuation block is rotated in the third direction by the movement of the rotary force conversion member, and is rotated together with the simultaneously releasable actuation block in the third direction within another predetermined angle range by the indoor actuating means.
2. The two-way releasable mortise structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a latch link adapted to receive a rotary force from the latch actuation block to tow the latch bolt to the unlocked position.
3. The two-way releasable mortise structure according to claim 1 , wherein the latch actuation block has a ring shape including a cut portion at one side and has end portions formed at either side of the cut portion, and the pressure receiving portion of the latch actuation block is formed at one of the end portions of the cut portion.
4. The two-way releasable mortise structure according to claim 1 , wherein the latch actuation block has a latch retaining wing for towing the latch bolt to the unlocked position and the first inclined plane of the rotary force conversion member pushes a bottom of the latch retaining wing so as to rotate the latch actuation block to tow the latch bolt to the unlocked position.
5. The two-way releasable mortise structure according to claim 1 , wherein the simultaneously releasable actuation block tows the dead bolt to the unlocked position by a dead bolt retaining wing for towing the dead bolt, and further has a latch bolt retaining wing for towing the latch bolt.
6. The two-way releasable mortise structure according to claim 1 , wherein the simultaneously releasable actuation block has a ring shape including a cut portion at one side and has end portions formed at either side of the cut portion, and the pressure receiving portion of the simultaneously releasable actuation block is formed at one of the end portions of the cut portion.
7. The two-way releasable mortise structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second inclined plane of the rotary force conversion member pushes a bottom of a latch retaining wing of the simultaneously releasable actuation block so as to rotate the simultaneously releasable actuation block to tow the dead bolt to the unlocked position.
