Technical Field
The present invention relates to a lock, and more particularly to a lock mechanism for relatively movable objects.
Background
Generally, the slide rail assembly can be used in a rack system of a home, office, or electronic device. The sliding rail assembly comprises a first rail and a second rail which are respectively arranged on a first object and a second object, such as a cabinet body and a drawer, so that the drawer can be opened or closed relative to the first rail and/or the cabinet body through the second rail.
Depending on the demand, sometimes the market or the user does not want the second rail (the second object) to be arbitrarily operated from a predetermined position with respect to the first rail (the first object) to leave the predetermined position. For example, U.S. patent publication No. US8,328,299B2 discloses a drawer slide and lock mechanism. The locking mechanism 104 is an electronic lock. As can be seen from fig. 1 of the drawings, the drawer slide includes an outer rail 106 and an inner rail 108. The inner rail 108 is movable relative to the outer rail 106 to a retracted position. Wherein the inner rail 108 is provided with a pin 116 at the rear end. The lock mechanism 104, on the other hand, includes a latch receiver 115, a lever arm 117, and a motor 119. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the latch receivers 115 and 218 may be in a first position, and in the first position, the latch receiver 115,218 is in a state of catching the pins 116 and 216 of the inner rail 108, and in cooperation with fig. 3, once the motors 119 and 240,328 receive an electronic control signal, the motor 328 may drive the
