Abstract

A door lock transmission mechanism is provided on the first surface of a door for transmitting movement to a door lock provided on the second surface of the door opposite to the first surface. The door lock transmission mechanism includes a lock casing unit, an actuation mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The actuation mechanism includes a traction member having a traction portion for driving a locking seat of a core unit of the locking mechanism, wherein the locking seat can rotate freely when the locking mechanism is locked, such that an actuation member of the actuation mechanism can be pressed down by force and keeps the locking state of the door lock, and thus the parts of the door lock transmission mechanism can be protected from being damaged.

6. The door lock transmission mechanism of claim 5 , wherein the holding groove cuts into part of the holding pit, and the holding groove is deeper than the holding pit; and the pin hole is for receiving a push pin that is for catching the traction portion.

7. The door lock transmission mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the locking plate comprises a push portion provided on a side thereof and extended upwardly, a driven bulge provided on a side of the locking plate opposite to the side having the push portion, and two extension portions provided on the side of the locking plate having the push portion.

8. The door lock transmission mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the lock barrel driving plate comprises bifurcating portions provided on two relatively shorter sides thereof respectively for restricting movement of the lock barrel driving plate within a predetermined range, and a first depression and a second depression provided on two relatively longer sides of the lock barrel driving plate respectively.

9. The door lock transmission mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the core unit further comprises a core fixing plate fixed inside the lock casing unit, the core fixing plate having a plurality of extension portions for disposing elastic members thereon.

10. A door lock transmission mechanism provided on a first surface of a door, for driving a door lock provided on a second surface of the door opposite to the first surface, the door lock transmission mechanism comprising:

a lock casing unit provided on the first surface of the door;

an actuation mechanism, which comprises an actuation member provided outside the lock casing unit and having an actuation portion thereof inserted into the lock casing unit, a swivel table provided inside the lock casing unit and driven by the actuation portion, and a traction member partially covering the swivel table and driven by the swivel table, wherein the traction member is formed with a traction portion; and

a locking mechanism, which comprises a core unit provided on a side of the traction member relatively away from the swivel table and comprising a swivel block and a locking seat for retractably catching the swivel block, a locking plate connected to a side of the core unit relatively away from the traction member by an elastic member, a lock barrel driving plate provided on a side of the locking plate relatively away from the core unit and for pushing the locking plate, and a lock barrel inserted into the lock casing unit and for driving the lock barrel driving plate to move away from the side of the locking plate, wherein the swivel block is caught by the locking seat so as to release the door lock when the locking mechanism is unlocked, and when the locking mechanism is locked, the swivel block is free of being caught by the locking seat, and the locking scat is free to rotate, such that the actuation member is pressed down by force and keeps a locking state of the door lock, wherein the lock barrel driving plate comprises bifurcating portions provided on two relatively shorter sides thereof respectively for restricting movement of the lock barrel driving plate within a predetermined range, and a first depression and a second depression provided on two relatively longer sides of the lock barrel driving plate respectively.

11. The door lock transmission mechanism of claim 10 , wherein the lock casing unit comprises a panel and a base frame provided in the panel.

12. The door lock transmission mechanism of claim 11 , wherein the base frame comprises a plurality of tacking studs for screwing assembling rods to connect the lock casing unit to the door lock.

13. The door lock transmission mechanism of claim 10 , wherein the actuation member is a handle bar.
