Deadbolt lock device and assembly
An assembly includes a frame and a linear actuator coupled thereto. A link, lever, spring (LLS) subassembly may be coupled to the frame and may include a short link, a long link, a lever, and a spring. A lockbolt subassembly may further be coupled to the frame. The lockbolt subassembly may comprise a latch, a bolt housing, and a lockbolt.
1. A locking assembly, comprising:
a linear actuator;
a lockbolt subassembly, the lockbolt subassembly further comprising:
a latch;
a bolt housing; and
a lockbolt; and
a link, lever, spring subassembly coupled to a frame and further comprising:
a lever;
a short link, wherein:
a first end of the short link is coupled to the linear actuator; and
a second end of the short link is coupled to a bottom portion of the lever:
a long link, wherein:
a first end of the long link is coupled to the latch; and
a second end of the long link is coupled to a top portion of the lever; and
a spring; and
wherein the linear actuator is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position; and
wherein the unlocked position comprises:
extension of the linear actuator toward the lever such that the lever rotates clockwise about a pivot point and moves the long link toward the linear actuator, and
rotation of the latch from the locked position; and
retraction of the lockbolt.
2. The locking assembly of claim 1 , wherein the locked position comprises:
retraction of the linear actuator toward the lever such that the lever rotates counterclockwise about a pivot point and moves the short link toward the linear actuator;
movement of the lockbolt into the locked position; and
rotation of the latch into the locked position.
3. The locking assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the spring is coupled to the lever; and
the spring maintains a constant pressure on the lever when the linear actuator is released such that the position of the lever n the locked or unlocked position is maintained.
