Abstract

A door lock device for emergency doors is provided, in which, through a configuration of a sensing component, the actuating time can be adjusted by a driver according to demands to facilitate time-delayed unlocking.

Claims (27)

1. A door lock device, comprising:

a lock assembly including a push bar and a lock provided on the push bar;

a base provided within the push bar and including a receiving space;

a connecting rod provided within the push bar and passing through the receiving space to link with the lock, wherein the connecting rod includes an elevated portion;

a sliding piece provided within the receiving space in a displaceable manner;

a swinging piece pivotally connected to the base and positioned in the receiving space to link with the sliding piece;

a driver for driving the sliding piece to displace, wherein the sliding piece is actuated to drive the swinging piece to swing upwards and cross over the elevated portion; and

a sensing component provided on the swinging piece and communicatively connected with the driver for sensing movements of the connecting rod,

wherein when the push bar is pressed for a first time, the swinging piece does not cross over the elevated portion, such that the connecting rod is prevented from moving by the swinging piece to the lock being locked, and the elevated portion abuts against and actuates the sensing component to send a control signal to a circuit component,

wherein after a target period has elapsed, the circuit component sends a response signal to the driver, such that the driver is actuated to move the sliding piece to push the swinging piece, and the swinging piece swings upwards and crosses over the elevated portion, and

wherein after the swinging piece swings upwards and crosses over the elevated portion, the push bar is pressed for a second time, the connecting rod is allowed to move, and the pressing of the push bar allows the lock to be unlocked.

2. The door lock device of claim 1 , wherein the base is fixed to the push bar via a supporting piece.

3. The door lock device of claim 1 , wherein the base is directly fixed to the push bar.

4. The door lock device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing component senses a distance between the elevated portion and the sensing component.

5. The door lock device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing component is communicatively connected with a driver via a circuit component.

6. An electric control assembly, comprising:

a base including a receiving space;

a connecting rod passing through the receiving space and including an elevated portion;

a sliding piece provided within the receiving space in a displaceable manner;

a swinging piece pivotally connected to the base and positioned in the receiving space to link with the sliding piece, wherein the sliding piece drives the swinging piece to swing upwards and cross over the elevated portion;

a sensing component provided on the swinging piece for sensing a distance between the elevated portion and the sensing component; and

a driver communicatively connected with the sensing component for driving the sliding piece to displace,

wherein the swinging piece does not cross over the elevated portion initially, such that the connecting rod is prevented from moving by the swinging piece, and the elevated portion abuts against and actuates the sensing component to send a control signal to a circuit component,

wherein after a target period has elapsed, the circuit component sends a response signal to the driver, such that the driver is actuated to move the sliding piece to push the swinging piece, and the swinging piece swings upwards and crosses over the elevated portion, and

wherein after the swinging piece swings upwards and crosses over the elevated portion, the connecting rod is allowed to move.

7. The electric control assembly of claim 6 , wherein the base includes a slot formed corresponding to a direction along which the connecting rod passes through the receiving space.

8. The electric control assembly of claim 6 , wherein the base includes a bar frame to allow ease of handling.
