DOOR LOCKING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A door locking apparatus comprising:
- a latch mechanism that can latch and release a striker;
a door opening mechanism that can switch between an unlocking position where the striker latched by the latch mechanism can be released and a locking position where the striker latched by the latch mechanism cannot be released, and is operated by a manipulation of an inner handle or an outer handle for opening a door;
a manual locking mechanism that moves the door opening mechanism to the unlocking position or the locking position by a manipulation of a locking knob for use from inside a vehicle or a key cylinder for use from outside the vehicle; and
an automatic locking mechanism that moves the door opening mechanism to the unlocking position or the locking position based on an input of an electric signal, whereina first housing in which at least the door opening mechanism and the manual locking mechanism are disposed and a second housing in which the automatic locking mechanism is disposed are provided,a second housing attaching portion to which the second housing is attached is provided on the outside of the first housing, andfirst and second communication holes through which a rotational driving torque of the automatic locking mechanism is transmitted to the door opening mechanism are made in the first and second housings so as to be communicated with each other.
