LOCKING APPARATUS, CONNECTING STRUCTURE, AND ELECTRIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18223548 titled 'LOCKING APPARATUS, CONNECTING STRUCTURE, AND ELECTRIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a locking apparatus that includes a housing, a bolt, a sleeve, a restraint structure, and an elastic structure. - The housing has a first wall with a first opening. - The bolt is located inside the housing and extends out of the first opening. - The sleeve is also inside the housing and fits around the bolt. The sleeve and bolt can move relative to each other in an axial direction. - The restraint structure is fixed to the housing and prevents the sleeve from moving away from the first wall. - An elastic structure inside the housing applies an axial elastic force on the sleeve, causing it to join with the restraint structure. - The restraint structure is designed to lock the sleeve in place when joined with it. - The elastic structure has two ends that respectively abut against the first wall and the sleeve.
Original Abstract Submitted
A locking apparatus may include: a housing including a first wall, where the first wall may be provided with a first opening; a bolt arranged inside the housing and penetrating out of the first opening; a sleeve arranged inside the housing and fitting around the bolt, where the sleeve and the bolt may be circumferentially locked and relatively movable in an axial direction; a restraint structure fixed at the housing to prevent the sleeve from departing from the housing in a direction leaving the first wall; and an elastic structure arranged inside the housing to apply an axial elastic force on the sleeve such that the sleeve and the restraint structure may be joined, where the restraint structure may be configured to circumferentially lock the sleeve when being joined with the sleeve; where two ends of the elastic structure may respectively abut against the first wall and the sleeve.
