Double-door lock assembly
A double-door lock assembly includes a first lock and a second lock which are respectively mounted on a first door and a second door. The double-door lock assembly utilizes a first linkage member of the first lock to connect a second linkage member of the second lock to allow the first and second locks to co-operate. Hence the first and second doors can be opened or closed simultaneously in the same direction.
1. A double-door lock assembly which is mounted on a first door and a second door comprising:
a first lock mounted on the first door, wherein the first lock includes a first handle group, a first rotation member, and at least one first linkage member, the first handle group is coupled to the first rotation member for rotating the first rotation member, and the at least one first linkage member is disposed on and rotated with the first rotation member and
a second lock mounted on the second door, wherein the second lock includes a second handle group, a second rotation member, and at least one second linkage member, the second handle group is coupled to the second rotation member for rotating the second rotation member, the at least one second linkage member is disposed on and rotated with the second rotation member and wherein, when the at least one second linkage member is located at a first position, the at least one first linkage member corresponds and connects to the at least one second linkage member for simultaneous rotation of the first and second rotation members and, when the at least one second linkage member is located at a second position, the at least one first linkage member misaligns with and disconnects from the at least one second linkage member to separate the first and second locks.
2. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first lock further includes a first transmission tube, a limiting plate and a limiting member, the limiting member is positioned on the first lock, a first end of the first transmission tube is coupled to the first handle group, and the limiting plate is coupled to the first transmission tube, wherein when the first rotation member is driven by the second rotation member to rotate in a first direction, the first transmission tube and the limiting plate are rotated in the first direction with the first rotation member, and wherein when the second rotation member drives the first rotation member to rotate in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction, the limiting member blocks the limiting plate to cause the first transmission tube and the first rotation member to be unable to rotate in the second direction, and cause the at least one second linkage member to misalign with and separate from the at least one first linkage member.
3. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the first lock further includes a shaft tube which is coupled to the first rotation member and is simultaneously rotated with the first rotation member.
4. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the first lock further includes a fixing member which is utilized to couple the first rotation member and the shaft tube.
5. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the first lock further includes a supporting member disposed in the shaft tube, and the fixing member is utilized to couple the first rotation member, the shaft tube and the supporting member.
6. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the first lock further includes a transmission plate coupled with the shaft tube, and the transmission plate is rotated with the shaft tube simultaneously, wherein a second end of the first transmission tube is coupled to the transmission plate.
7. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the second lock further includes at least one pushing member disposed on the second rotation member and wherein, when the at least one second linkage member is located at the second position, the at least one pushing member corresponds to and disconnects from the at least one first linkage member to separate the second lock from the first lock.
8. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the first lock includes a plurality of first linkage members, the second lock includes a plurality of second linkage members and pushing members, and the second linkage members and the pushing members are placed alternately.
9. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the second lock further includes a base which is positioned on the second door, and the second rotation member is rotatably disposed on the base.
10. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the second lock further includes a second transmission tube, and a first end and a second end of the second transmission tube are respectively coupled to the second handle group and the second rotation member.
11. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first lock further includes a lock cylinder, a first transmission shaft and a first knob, and a first end and a second end of the first transmission shaft are respectively coupled to the lock cylinder and the first knob, wherein the second lock further includes a second transmission shaft, a knob base and a second knob, and a first end and a second end of the second transmission shaft are respectively coupled to the knob base and the second knob, and wherein the first knob is accommodated in the knob base when the at least one second linkage member is located at the first position.
12. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 11 , wherein the second lock further includes an elastic member which is located between the knob base and the second rotation member, and the knob base is rotatably disposed on the second rotation member.
13. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 11 , wherein the knob base includes a restriction groove and at least one restriction rib located in the restriction groove, and the restriction groove is provided for accommodating the first knob.
14. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one first linkage member and the at least one second linkage member are magnetic components having different magnetisms.
15. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the first at least one linkage member and the at least one pushing member are magnetic components having the same magnetism.
16. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the magnetic components are magnets or electromagnets.
17. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 15 , wherein the magnetic components are magnets or electromagnets.
18. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first at least one linkage member is disposed in a cover and is restricted between the cover and a blocking member.
19. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one second linkage member is disposed in a cover and is restricted between the cover and a blocking member.
20. The double-door lock assembly in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the at least one pushing member is disposed in a cover and is restricted between the cover and a blocking member.
