[0002] With the development of the economy, the demand for furniture products is increasing. Most cabinets use opening and closing cabinet doors. The cabinet doors are used very frequently in daily life. Connecting components are required between the cabinet doors and the cabinet body. Commonly used connecting components are traditional opening and closing devices such as hinges. Especially in cabinet doors that need to be flipped up, hinges cannot make the cabinet doors close slowly. The cabinet doors often hit the cabinet body and make noises. At the same time, they cannot hover, which brings inconvenience to use and affects the user's comprehensive experience. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a new flipping device to solve the existing problems. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide an adjustable upward turning device to solve the problem that the upward turning cabinet door cannot be closed slowly.

[0007] The sleeve is provided with an independently opened adjustment cavity and a damping cavity, the inner wall of the adjustment cavity is provided with an internal thread, the internal thread cooperates with the external thread provided on the adjustment bolt, and the sleeve is linearly moved along the adjustment cavity by rotating the adjustment bolt, the end of the adjustment bolt away from the bottom of the adjustment cavity extends out of the opening of the adjustment cavity and protrudes out of the shell of the base shell, and the adjustment bolt is connected to the base shell by a buckle; the upper part of the sleeve is provided with an opening that avoids the rotation radius of the rotary joint;

[0008] A damper is provided in the damping cavity, one end of the damper is fixed to the bottom of the damping cavity, and the other end abuts against the rotating joint; a damping cap is sleeved on the end of the damper abutting against the rotating joint, the cross-section of the damping cap is U-shaped, and the damping cap slides along the damping cavity with the damper; the rotating joint includes a connecting part and a rotating part, the rotating part is provided with a rotating hole, and a central axis is provided in the rotating hole so that the rotating joint is connected to the base shell and can rotate around the central axis.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic expansion device is a gas spring.

[0010] Preferably, a fixed connector is installed on the piston rod of the elastic telescopic device, and the fixed connector includes a fixed joint fixed to the end of the piston rod and a movable joint movably connected to the fixed joint, and the movable joint rotates along the opening and closing direction of the cabinet door.

[0011] Preferably, the cross section of the rotary joint is 7-shaped, and a protrusion for contacting the sleeve and controlling the suspension of the rotary joint is provided on the rotating part.

[0012] Preferably, the regulating cavity and the damping cavity are both cylindrical and coaxially distributed.

[0017] Preferably, a visual window for observing the adjustment gear position is provided on the base shell.

[0018] The technical effects and advantages of the present invention are as follows: the adjustable flip-up device has a simple structure and is easy to use. On the one hand, when the damper is used to close the cabinet door to a certain angle, the rotary joint contacts the linear damper, and the reaction force of the linear damper suppresses the rotary joint from rotating too fast. Due to this buffering and damping effect, the cabinet door will close slowly, so that the cabinet door will not hit the cabinet body and make a sound, thereby improving the overall user experience. On the other hand, an internal thread is also provided inside the sleeve, which matches the adjusting bolt, and by rotating the adjusting bolt, the sleeve can be moved forward and backward along the axis of the adjusting bolt. Because the sleeve is connected to the supporting structure, the adjusting screw moves forward and backward to change the position of the gravity support point of the cabinet door by this device, so that the device can adapt to cabinet doors of different sizes and weights.

The rotary joint 3 is connected to the base sleeve 7 through the central axis 4 and can rotate freely to support the cabinet door. After the cabinet door is opened, it hovers at any angle. The linear damper 8 is used to close the cabinet door to a certain angle. The rotary joint 3 contacts the linear damper 8. Due to the reaction force of the linear damper 8, the rotary joint 3 rotates too fast. Due to this buffering damping effect, the cabinet door will be closed slowly, so that the cabinet door will not hit the cabinet body and make a sound, thereby improving the user's comprehensive experience. By rotating the adjusting bolt 6, the sleeve 7 moves forward and backward along the axial direction of the adjusting bolt 6. Because the sleeve 7 is connected to the supporting structure, the adjusting screw moves forward and backward to change the position of the gravity support point of the cabinet door by this device, so that the device can adapt to cabinet doors of different sizes and weights.
