Locking mechanism and locking body assembly for magnetic lock, and the magnetic lock

1. A locking mechanism for a magnetic lock, comprising a locking body, the locking body comprising a lock latch having a first magnet and a pivot shaft, a slide bar switch operatively associated with the lock latch for selectively disengaging the lock latch, and a second magnet; wherein the lock latch is configured to disengage from the slide bar switch when a first end of the slide bar switch is pressed horizontally to a longitudinal axis of the pivot shaft and slides towards the locking body, to provide the locking mechanism in a non-active state, where the lock latch can pivot about the pivot shaft due to a magnetic force action between the first and second magnets, so that the magnetic lock can be locked and unlocked; and wherein, the locking mechanism is configured to move to an active state when a second end of the slide bar switch is pressed horizontally to a longitudinal axis of the pivot shaft and slides towards the locking body, with the slide bar switch abutting and pressing against the lock latch, making the lock latch pivot about the pivot shaft reversely against the magnetic force action between the first magnet and the second magnet, and with the magnetic lock remaining in an unlocked position.

2. The locking mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the slide bar switch includes a blocking member such that pressing of the first end of the slide bar switch provides the blocking member in a position where it interferes with the movement of the lock latch to maintains the lock latch in the inactive position so that the magnetic lock cannot be locked, wherein pressing of the second end of the slide bar switch moves the blocking member out of interference with the movement of the lock latch so that the lock latch is enabled to move to the active position to lock the magnetic lock.

3. The locking mechanism of claim 2 , wherein when the blocking member is out of interference with the movement of the lock latch and the lock latch locks the magnetic lock, the magnetic lock can be opened using an external key that includes a magnet.

4. The locking mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the lock latch is an L-shaped member.

5. The locking mechanism according to claim 4 , wherein the lock latch comprises a first body, a second body and a pivot shaft between the first body and the second body.

6. The locking mechanism according to claim 5 , wherein the lock latch includes a hook portion at a first end thereof, and a protruding rod at a second end, and with a receiving portion for receiving the first magnet located adjacent the second end.

7. The locking mechanism according to claim 6 , wherein the slide bar switch comprises a slide bar portion and the blocking member, and wherein the blocking member is a wedge-shaped location in the middle of the slide bar portion.

8. The locking mechanism according to claim 4 , wherein the second magnet is arranged nearby the pivot shaft of the lock latch.

9. The locking mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein when the latch is disengaged from the slide bar switch, an attraction force between the second magnet and the first magnet enables the lock latch to pivot about the pivot shaft to the unlocked position.

10. The locking mechanism according to claim 7 , wherein movement of the second end of the slide bar switch overcomes an attraction force between the second magnet and the first magnet, so that the lock latch can pivot about the pivot shaft reversely to move the lock latch to the locked position.

11. A locking body assembly for a magnetic lock comprising the locking body and a locking plate, with the locking body comprising a locking body housing, and with the locking plate disposed outside the locking body housing, and the locking mechanism according to claim 1 disposed in the locking body housing.

12. The locking body assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the locking body has a mounting base that includes a centrally mounted receiving indentation, and with a stop portion adjacent the receiving indentation, with the receiving indentation optionally being a blind hole or a through hole.

13. The locking body assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the locking body housing comprises a slide bar switch hole and a pivot shaft hole for engaging the pivot shaft.

14. The locking body assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the locking body housing comprises a first housing and a second housing, with the first and second housings combined to form a cavity for receiving the locking mechanism.

15. The locking body assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the locking body housing includes a groove for receiving the second magnet with the groove positioned adjacent the pivot shaft hole, and with the locking plate including a recess or rod for engagement.

16. The locking body assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the locking plate includes a base surface mounted on a surface in an interior of furniture, and the locking body is, via its mounting base, mounted on a plane at a right angle relative to the locking plate.

17. The locking body assembly according to claim 14 , wherein the first housing, the second housing and the locking plate can each be mounted on a door of the furniture via screw connection or adhesion.

18. The locking body assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the lock latch includes a hook portion and includes a reinforcing rib at the hook portion.

19. A magnetic lock, comprising a key and the locking body assembly according to claim 11 .

20. The magnetic lock according to claim 15 , wherein the key comprises a key magnet, a gripping portion and a base for receiving the key magnet.
