DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(10) In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

(11) Referring now to FIG. 1, the anti-theft door lock assembly of this disclosure includes a main locking unit 1, a depressing unit 2 and at least one auxiliary locking unit 3.

(12) Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the main locking unit 1 has a main lock set 10, a lock tongue 11, a push member 12, a pushed member 13, a connection link 14, a depression rocker arm 15 and at least one auxiliary lock set 16.

(13) The main lock set 10 has a main mounting frame structure 100. Each of two opposing sides of the main mounting frame structure 100 has a main structural aperture 101. The lock tongue 11 is disposed inside the main mounting frame structure 100. A lock-tongue installation pin 110 is introduced to penetrate through the main mounting frame structure 100, the lock tongue 1 land a lock-tongue torsion spring 111, so that the lock tongue 11 can be pivotally disposed inside the main mounting frame structure 100. One end of the lock tongue 11 protrudes out of the main mounting frame structure 100. One end of the lock-tongue torsion spring 111 contacts against the lock tongue 11, while another end of the lock-tongue torsion spring 111 contacts against the lock-tongue installation pin 110. The lock tongue 11 has an accommodation space 112 located at a bottom thereof and a guide hole 113 communicative with the accommodation space 112.

(14) The push member 12, disposed in the accommodation space 112, has one end thereof protruding out of the accommodation space 112. A push rod 120 is introduced to penetrate through the guide hole 113, a push spring (not shown in the figure) and the push member 12, so as to pivot the push member 12 elastically onto the lock tongue 11. One end of the push spring is pushed against the push member 12, while another end thereof is pushed against the push rod 120.

(15) Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, one end of the pushed member 13 is pivoted to another end of the lock tongue 11 via a pushed pin 130. The pushed member 13 is located between the push member 12 and the lock tongue 11. A pivotal pin 131 penetrates through another end of the pushed member 13, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) and on end of the connection link 14, so that the pushed member 13 can be connected with the push member 12. One end of the torsion spring contacts against the pushed member 13, while another end of the torsion spring contacts against the connection link 14.

(16) Referring now further to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, a push-down pivotal pin 150 penetrates through the main mounting frame structure 100, a rocker-arm torsion spring 151, an action member 154 and the depression rocker arm 15, so that the depression rocker arm 15 can be pivotally mounted to the main mounting frame structure 100. One end of the depression rocker arm 15 is served as a depression end 152, while another end of the depression rocker arm 15 is served as a push end 153. The push end 153, contacting the pivotal pin 131, has a push lever 155 extending from the main structural aperture 101 to outsides of the main mounting frame structure 100. The action member 154 has an action end 156 to push the depression end 152. One end of the rocker-arm torsion spring 151 is contacted against the action member 154, while another end of the rocker-arm torsion spring 151 is contacted against the push-down pivotal pin 150.

(17) In this disclosure, at least one auxiliary lock set 16 is included, and is disposed lateral to the main lock set 10. Referring now to FIG. 2, in this embodiment, two auxiliary lock sets 16 are included and disposed individually to two opposing sides of the main lock set 10. Each of the two auxiliary lock sets 16 has an auxiliary rocker arm 160. An auxiliary pivotal pin 161 is introduced to penetrate through the auxiliary lock set 16, an auxiliary torsion spring 162 and the auxiliary rocker arm 160, so that the auxiliary rocker arm 160 can be connected with the auxiliary lock set 16. One end of the auxiliary rocker arm 160 is served as an auxiliary-lock push end 163, while another end of the auxiliary rocker arm 160 is served as an auxiliary contact end 164. The auxiliary contact end 164 is depressed upon the push lever 155.

(18) Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 1, the depressing unit 2 has a push-down cover 20, a depression-mounting frame 21 and an extension linkage 22. The depression-mounting frame 21 has a press-down rocker arm 210. A push-down pivotal pin 211 is introduced to penetrate through the depression-mounting frame 21, a push-down torsion spring 212 and the press-down rocker arm 210, so that the press-down rocker arm 210 can be pivotally mounted to the depression-mounting frame 21. One end of the push-down torsion spring 212 is contacted against the press-down rocker arm 210, while another end of the push-down torsion spring 212 is contacted against the depression-mounting frame 21.

(19) The push-down cover 20, disposed over the depression-mounting frame 21, has a surface (the inner surface) to directly contact the press-down rocker arm 210. The extension linkage 22 has a main extension bar, an auxiliary extension bar and two hook elements 220. One of the two hook elements 220 is coupled with the main extension bar, the auxiliary extension bar is coupled with the main extension bar, and another hook element 220 is coupled with the auxiliary extension bar. The aforesaid coupling means between any two of the foregoing extension bars and hook elements can be a pin-hole means or a screw-tight means. For example, the hook element 220 couples the main extension bar or the auxiliary extension bar, respectively, via the pin-hole means, and the auxiliary extension bar is tightly screwed to the main extension bar. In particular, the coupling between the auxiliary extension bar and the main extension bar can be adjustable so as to vary a total length of the extension linkage 22. Thereupon, in the case that the extension linkage 22 is to hook two objects but provides insufficient lengths, the two hook elements220 can vary positions at the extension linkage 22, so that the extension linkage 22 can apply the two hook elements 220 to hook the corresponding objects.

(20) In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 8, the depressing unit 2A can be embodied as a push-down handle 20A. The push-down handle 20A has a depression bar 200A for depressing the depression end 152 of the depression rocker arm 15. Motion of the push-down handle 200A is similar to that of the aforesaid extension linkage 22, and motions of the depression-mounting frame 21 and the push-down cover 20 are similar to those of the aforesaid push end 153 and the depression end 152. When the push-down handle 20A is pressed down, the depression bar 200A would further push down the depression end 152, and the push lever 155 of the push end 153 would thus pull up the pushed pin 130.

(21) Referring to FIG. 5, the auxiliary locking unit 3 has an auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30, an auxiliary lock tongue 31, an auxiliary-lock pull member 32, a first auxiliary-lock connection link 33, a second auxiliary-lock connection link 36, an auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34 and an auxiliary-lock cover 35. An auxiliary pivotal pin 310 is introduced to penetrate through the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30, the auxiliary lock tongue 31 and an auxiliary-lock torsion spring 311, so that the auxiliary lock tongue 31 can be mounted pivotally to the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30. One end of the auxiliary-lock torsion spring 311 contacts against the auxiliary lock tongue 31, while another end of the auxiliary-lock torsion spring 311 contacts against the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30. Thereupon, the auxiliary-lock torsion spring 311 can provide the necessary spring force for protruding the auxiliary lock tongue 31 out of the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30 from a state of the auxiliary lock tongue 31 retrieved into the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30.

(22) One end of the auxiliary lock tongue 31 protrudes out of the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30, and a bottom portion of the auxiliary lock tongue 31 is furnished with an auxiliary-lock push member (not shown in the figure). The auxiliary-lock push member can be retrieved into the auxiliary lock tongue 31. The auxiliary-lock pull member 32 is connected with another end of the auxiliary lock tongue 31.

(23) An auxiliary-lock pivotal pin 330 is introduced to penetrate through one end of the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33, an auxiliary-lock connection spring 331 and another end of the auxiliary-lock pull member 32, so that the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 can be pivotally connected with the auxiliary-lock pull member 32.

(24) One end of the auxiliary-lock connection spring 331 contacts against the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33, while another end of the auxiliary-lock connection spring 331 contacts against the auxiliary-lock pull member 32. A connection pin 360 is used to penetrate through another end of the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 and the second auxiliary-lock connection link 36, so that the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 can be pivotally connected with the second auxiliary-lock connection link 36.

(25) Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 2, the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34 has a main auxiliary-lock extension bar, a second auxiliary-lock extension bar and two auxiliary-lock hook elements 340. One of the two auxiliary-lock hook elements 340 is coupled with the main auxiliary-lock extension bar, the second auxiliary-lock extension bar is coupled with the main auxiliary-lock extension bar, and another auxiliary-lock hook element 340 is coupled with the second auxiliary-lock extension bar. The aforesaid coupling means between any two of the foregoing auxiliary-lock extension bars and auxiliary-lock hook elements can be a pin-hole means or a screw-tight means. For example, the auxiliary-lock hook element 340 couples the main auxiliary-lock extension bar or the second auxiliary-lock extension bar, respectively, via the pin-hole means, and the second auxiliary-lock extension bar is tightly screwed to the main auxiliary-lock extension bar. In particular, one of the two auxiliary-lock hook elements 340 is hooked to the second auxiliary-lock connection link 36, while another auxiliary-lock hook element 340 is hooked to the auxiliary-lock push end 163.

(26) Since the screw-tight coupling between the second auxiliary-lock extension bar and the main auxiliary-lock extension bar is adjustable to vary a total length of the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34. Thereupon, in the case that the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34 is to hook two objects but provides insufficient lengths, the two auxiliary-lock hook elements 340 can vary positions at the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34, so that the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34 can apply the two auxiliary-lock hook elements 340 to hook the corresponding objects.

(27) Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, if the push-down cover 20 of the depressing unit 2 is pressed down, the press-down rocker arm 210 is thus depressed down by the push-down cover 20 so that a push-down torsion spring 213 is compressed. Simultaneously, the press-down rocker arm 210 pulls the extension linkage 22, and then the extension linkage 22 is further to pull the action member 154.

(28) The action end 156 of the action member 154 depresses the depression end 152 of the depression rocker arm 15, and then the push end 153 is rotated to push the pivotal pin 131, so that rotation between the pushed member 13 and the connection link 14 is made. Thereupon, the lock tongue 11 is retrieved into the main mounting frame structure 10. In this state, the lock tongue 11 compresses the lock-tongue torsion spring 111, the pushed member 13 is forced by the compressed torsion spring 111, and the action member 154 compresses the rocker-arm torsion spring 151.

(29) Referring to FIG. 2, in the case that the lock tongue 11 is retrieved into the main mounting frame structure 10, the push member 12 would be retrieved into the lock tongue 11. The push spring 121 is compressed by the push member 12. As the push lever 155 displaces along the main structural aperture 101, the auxiliary contact end 164 is pushed, the auxiliary rocker arm 160 compresses the auxiliary torsion spring 162, the auxiliary-lock push end 163 pulls the auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34, the pulled auxiliary-lock extension linkage 34 moves the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 so as to move the auxiliary-lock pull member 32 as well, thus the auxiliary lock tongue 31 is retrieved into the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30, and the auxiliary-lock push member is retrieved into the auxiliary lock tongue 31. In this state, the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 is to compress the auxiliary-lock connection spring 331.

(30) Since the lock tongue 11 is retrieved into the main lock set 10, and the auxiliary lock tongue 31 is retrieved into the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30, thus the safety door furnished with the aforesaid door lock assembly can be shifted from a locking state to an unlock state, so that the safety door can be opened.

(31) After the safety door is opened, and the push-down cover 20 is released, then the push-down torsion spring 213 would drive the press-down rocker arm 210 back to its initial position. In other words, the push-down cover 20 is sent back to a depression-free position. The lock-tongue torsion spring 111 of this disclosure is to provide a spring force for driving the lock tongue 11 to a state of protruding out of the main mounting frame structure 100; i.e., the state prior to the lock tongue 11 being retrieved into the main mounting frame structure 100.

(32) The push spring is to provide a spring force for driving the push member 12 to protrude out of the lock tongue 11, and another torsion spring is to provide a spring force to drive the pushed member 13 back to its initial position.

(33) The rocker-arm torsion spring 151 is to provide a spring force to drive the action member 154 and the depression rocker arm 15 back to the corresponding initial positions. The auxiliary torsion spring 162 is to provide a spring force for driving the auxiliary rocker arm 160 back to its initial position. The auxiliary-lock connection spring 331 is to provide a spring force for driving the first auxiliary-lock connection link 33 back to its initial position. Also, the auxiliary-lock torsion spring 331 is to provide a spring force for driving the auxiliary lock tongue 31 to protrude out of the auxiliary lock-mounting frame 30. Namely, the auxiliary-lock push member is sent back to its initial position, and thus protrudes out of the auxiliary lock tongue 31.

(34) Since the lock tongue 11 is controlled by the pushed member 13 to protrude or retrieve with respect to the main lock set 10, thus, when the safety door is in the locking state, the lock tongue 11 restrained by the pushed member 13 is unable to be retrieved back to the main lock set 10, even that the lock tongue 11 is forced by any arbitrary foreign forcing. Thereupon, the safety door would not be easy to be pried open, and thus possible illegal invasion by unexpected persons via the safety door would be inhibited.

(35) With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present disclosure.
