Fixing structure for lock, and lock therewith

1. A fixing structure for a lock comprising:

a mounting plate comprising a mounting plate body and a guided post, the guided post being parallel to a rotating axis extended from the mounting plate body, the mounting plate body having a locking slot structure;

a cover plate comprising a cover plate body and an obstruction post, the obstruction post extending from the cover plate body, the cover plate body having a guiding slot and an engaging structure, the guiding slot extending in a direction around the rotating axis; and

a drive plate rotatably disposed on the cover plate body relative to the rotating axis, the drive plate having a first protruding tab, the first protruding tab extending in a direction perpendicular to the rotating axis;

wherein the mounting plate is fixedly disposed on a door plank, the cover plate is aligned with the mounting plate through the guided post sliding in the guiding slot, the drive plate can be operated to rotate such that the first protruding tab abuts against the obstruction post and drives the cover plate to rotate with the drive plate, thereby allowing the engaging structure to engage the locking slot structure;

wherein the locking slot structure is disposed around a periphery of the mounting plate body, the locking slot structure comprises an entrance portion, a raised portion, and a holding portion, the engaging structure is disposed around a periphery of the cover plate body, the engaging structure comprises an elastic raised portion, the elastic raised portion is raised toward an interior of the cover plate body, and when the engaging structure engages the locking slot structure, the elastic raised portion enters the locking slot structure through the entrance portion and slidably abuts against the raised portion while elastically deforming in a way for the elastic raised portion to be held by the holding portion.

2. The fixing structure for a lock of claim 1 , wherein the holding portion comprises a notch and a baffle, and when the engaging structure is held by the holding portion, the elastic raised portion is engaged at the notch and the baffle is inserted between the elastic raised portion and the cover plate body.

3. The fixing structure for a lock of claim 2 , wherein the holding portion comprises a protruding part extended from the baffle in a direction parallel to the rotating axis, the engaging structure comprises an opening between the elastic raised portion and the cover plate body, and when the engaging structure is held by the holding portion, the baffle is inserted into the opening and the elastic raised portion is held between the notch and the protruding part.

4. The fixing structure for a lock of claim 1 , wherein the guiding slot has an entrance end and a closed end, the guided post enters the guiding slot through the entrance end, the guided post is positioned at the closed end when the elastic raised portion is positioned at the entrance portion, and the guided post is positioned at the entrance end when the elastic raised portion is positioned at the holding portion.

5. A fixing structure for a lock comprising:

a mounting plate comprising a mounting plate body and a guided post, the guided post being parallel to a rotating axis extended from the mounting plate body, the mounting plate body having a locking slot structure;

a cover plate comprising a cover plate body and an obstruction post, the obstruction post extending from the cover plate body, the cover plate body having a guiding slot and an engaging structure, the guiding slot extending in a direction around the rotating axis; and

a drive plate rotatably disposed on the cover plate body relative to the rotating axis, the drive plate having a first protruding tab, the first protruding tab extending in a direction perpendicular to the rotating axis;

a limiting post connected to the mounting plate body;

wherein the mounting plate is fixedly disposed on a door plank, the cover plate is aligned with the mounting plate through the guided post sliding in the guiding slot, the drive plate can be operated to rotate in a direction relative to the rotating axis such that the first protruding tab abuts against the obstruction post and drives the cover plate to rotate with the drive plate, thereby allowing the engaging structure to engage the locking slot structure;

wherein the drive plate has a second protruding tab, and the limiting post blocks the second protruding tab and prevents the drive plate from rotating in the direction when the engaging structure engages the locking slot structure.

6. A lock comprising:

a fixing structure comprising:

a mounting plate comprising a mounting plate body and a guided post, the guided post being parallel to a rotating axis extended from the mounting plate body, the mounting plate body having a locking slot structure;

a cover plate comprising a cover plate body and an obstruction post, the obstruction post extending from the cover plate body, the cover plate body having a guiding slot and an engaging structure, the guiding slot extending in a direction around the rotating axis; and

a drive plate rotatably disposed on the cover plate body relative to the rotating axis, the drive plate having a first protruding tab, the first protruding tab extending in a direction perpendicular to the rotating axis;

a limiting post connected to the mounting plate body;

wherein the mounting plate is fixedly disposed on a door plank, the cover plate is slidably disposed on the guiding slot through the guided post such that the cover plate aligns with the mounting plate, the drive plate can be operated to rotate in a direction relative to the rotating axis such that the first protruding tab abuts against the obstruction post and drives the cover plate to rotate with the drive plate, thereby allowing the engaging structure to engage the locking slot structure;

wherein the drive plate has a second protruding tab, and the limiting post blocks the second protruding tab and prevents the drive plate from rotating in the direction when the engaging structure engages the locking slot structure;

a first handle set fixedly disposed with the mounting plate on opposite sides of the door plank; and

a second handle set comprising a handle set body and an axial tube, the handle set body being connected to the axial tube, the axial tube being passed through the cover plate and connected to the drive plate.

7. The lock of claim 6 , wherein the limiting post is a screw, and the screw is connected to the mounting plate body and the first handle set.

8. The lock of claim 6 , wherein the limiting post is a locking hole post, and a screw passes through the locking hole post to connect the mounting plate body and the first handle set.

9. The lock of claim 6 , wherein the locking slot structure is disposed around a periphery of the mounting plate body, the locking slot structure comprises an entrance portion, a raised portion, and a holding portion, the engaging structure is disposed around a periphery of the cover plate body, the engaging structure comprises an elastic raised portion, the elastic raised portion is raised toward an interior of the cover plate body, and when the engaging structure engages the locking slot structure, the elastic raised portion enters the locking slot structure through the entrance portion and slidably abuts against the raised portion while elastically deforming in a way for the elastic raised portion to be held by the holding portion.
