[0002] A closed space is generally surrounded by a plurality of panels, one of which can rotate relative to the other panels. Generally, the movable panel is hinged to the other panels by a connecting mechanism. When rotating the panel, if the panel is not properly attracted, water leakage or overflow may occur. Meanwhile, the panel has inertia during the attraction process, which is easy to collide with other panels or frames, causing damage to the panel. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a connecting mechanism and a shower room to solve the above technical problems.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a connecting mechanism, comprising a rotating shaft mechanism, a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion. The rotating shaft mechanism comprises a fixed portion, a shaft and an elastic member. The shaft is rotatably arranged on the fixed portion, and the shaft is provided with a clamping groove. The elastic member is fixed to the fixed portion and partially embedded in the clamping groove, so as to provide a torque opposite to the rotating direction for the shaft when the shaft rotates. The first mounting portion is connected to the shaft. The second mounting portion is connected to the fixed portion.

[0005] In some embodiments, the fixed portion is provided with a first mounting hole, the shaft is rotatably arranged in the first mounting hole, and the two ends of the shaft are connected to the first mounting portion.

[0006] In some embodiments, the fixed portion is further provided with a second mounting hole, the second mounting hole is communicated with the first mounting hole, and the elastic member is arranged in the second mounting hole and at least partially extends into the first mounting hole and is embedded in the clamping groove.

[0007] In some embodiments, the elastic member comprises a sleeve and a spring. One end of the sleeve is provided with a boss, and the other end is provided with an opening. The spring extends into the sleeve from the opening and abuts against the sleeve. The boss is embedded in the clamping groove.

[0008] In some embodiments, the elastic member further comprises a plug, which is arranged at the end of the spring away from the boss.

[0009] In some embodiments, the surface of the first mounting portion is provided with a protruding portion, the protruding portion surrounds a mounting groove, the fixed portion is arranged in the mounting groove, the protruding portion is provided with a notch, and the end of the shaft is embedded in the notch and fixed to the first mounting portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, a first mounting plate is further included, the first mounting plate is assembled to the first mounting portion, and the first mounting plate is provided with a avoiding slot corresponding to the fixed portion.

[0011] The protruding part comprises opposite first and second protruding parts, the first and second protruding parts enclose the mounting slot, the first protruding part is provided with a first notch, the second protruding part is provided with a second notch, the supporting shaft comprises opposite first and second end parts, the clamping slot is arranged between the first and second end parts, the first end part is embedded in the first notch, and the second end part is embedded in the second notch.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first and second protruding parts are further provided with fixing holes, the two fixing holes pass through the protruding part and respectively communicate with the first and second notches, and the first mounting part further comprises a fixing screw, the fixing screw is arranged in the fixing hole and abuts against the first end part or the second end part.

[0013] In another aspect, the application provides a shower room comprising a first plate body, a second plate body and the hinge mechanism, the first plate body is mounted on the first mounting part, and the second plate body is mounted on the second mounting part.

[0014] The shower room provided by the embodiments of the application can be mounted by using the connecting mechanism, the first plate body is mounted on the first mounting part, and the second plate body is mounted on the second mounting part, so that the first plate body and the second plate body can rotate relative to each other. Meanwhile, the first mounting part is fixedly connected with the supporting shaft, and the fixing part is fixedly connected with the second mounting part. Since the supporting shaft is rotationally connected with the fixing part, the first mounting part and the second mounting part can move relative to each other. The elastic member in the fixing part is embedded in the clamping slot on the supporting shaft. When the first mounting part and the second mounting part rotate relative to each other under the action of an external force and form a certain angle, the elastic member can provide a torque for the supporting shaft, and further provide a torque opposite to the rotation direction for the relative rotation between the first mounting part and the second mounting part. In this way, after the first plate body and the second plate body rotate relative to each other by a certain angle, the first plate body and the second plate body can stop rotating or move reversely under the action of the torque opposite to the rotation direction, so that the first plate body and the second plate body will not move by inertia and cause damage due to collision between the glasses. The application has a certain limiting function and can restore the rotation angle between the first plate body and the second plate body to the position before rotation, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the first plate body and the second plate body are not attracted in place and the gap between the plate bodies is prone to water leakage or overflow.

[0024] In order to make the personnel in the technical field better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the personnel in the technical field without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present application provides a shower room, which comprises a first plate body 2 and a second plate body 3. The first plate body 2 can be fixed relative to the ground, and the second plate body 3 can rotate relative to the first plate body 2. The first plate body 2 can enclose and form a space for a person to take a shower. An entrance is formed on the first plate body 2, and the entrance can be selectively closed or opened when the second plate body 3 rotates relative to the first plate body 2.

[0026] The present application also provides a connecting mechanism 1, which comprises a pivot mechanism 30, a first mounting portion 10 and a second mounting portion 20. The first mounting portion 10 and the second mounting portion 20 are hinged by the pivot mechanism 30. As an example, please refer to Figure 1 , the connecting mechanism 1 can be used to hinge the second plate body 3 and the first plate body 2. The first mounting portion 10 is mounted on the first plate body 2, and the second mounting portion 20 is mounted on the second plate body 3.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 , the rotating shaft mechanism 30 is used to rotate the first mounting part 10 and the second mounting part 20. Please refer to Figure 3 , the rotating shaft mechanism 30 includes a fixed part 31, a support shaft 32, and an elastic member 33. The support shaft 32 is rotatably arranged on the fixed part 31, and the support shaft 32 can be connected with the first mounting part 10. The fixed part 31 is fixedly connected with the second mounting part 20. When the support shaft 32 rotates relative to the fixed part 31, the elastic member 33 can abut against the support shaft 32 and provide a restoring force for the rotation of the support shaft 32.

[0028] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , the fixed part 31 is generally in the structure of a cuboid, and the fixed part is fixedly connected with the second mounting part. The fixed part 31 can be integrally formed with the second mounting part 20, or can be fixedly connected on the second mounting part 20 by assembly. The fixed part 31 is provided with a first mounting hole 311, and the first mounting hole 311 penetrates through the fixed part 31. The support shaft 32 can be arranged in the first mounting hole 311 and rotate relative to the fixed part 31 in the first mounting hole 311. In some embodiments, the fixed part 31 is further provided with a second mounting hole 312, and the axis direction of the second mounting hole 312 can be substantially perpendicular to the axis direction of the first mounting hole 311. The first mounting hole 311 is in communication with the second mounting hole 312. The second mounting hole 312 is used to assemble the elastic member 33. The fixed part 31 is fixedly connected with the second mounting part 20, so that when the support shaft 32 rotates in the first mounting hole 311, the support shaft 32 also rotates relative to the second mounting part 20.

[0029] The elastic member 33 can be arranged in the second mounting hole 312. In the embodiment, the elastic member 33 can include an outer sleeve 331 and a spring 332. As an example, please refer to Figure 4 , the outer sleeve 331 can be made of stainless steel, or can be made of other wear-resistant materials, which are not limited herein. The outer sleeve 331 can be generally in the structure of a cylinder, and the outer diameter of the cylinder can be slightly smaller than the diameter of the second mounting hole 312, so as to facilitate the sliding of the outer sleeve 331 in the second mounting hole 312. A boss 3311 is arranged at one end of the outer sleeve 331, and the boss 3311 is generally arc-shaped and has an arc surface 3313. The boss 3311 is used to abut against the support shaft 32. An opening 3312 is arranged at the end of the outer sleeve 331 away from the boss 3311, and one end of the spring 332 can be embedded in the opening 3312 and abut against the outer sleeve 331. In some embodiments, the other end of the spring 332 can be directly fixed to the hole wall forming the second mounting hole 312. In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 4The elastic member 33 can further include a plug 333, and the other end of the spring 332 (the end away from the boss 3311) can abut against the plug 333, where the plug 333 is fixedly connected in the second mounting hole 312. The second mounting hole 312 can be provided with a thread, and the plug 333 can be embedded into the second mounting hole 312 through threaded connection. However, in some other embodiments, the plug 333 can also be embedded into the second mounting hole 312 through interference fit, which is not limited here. The sleeve 331 moves under the pushing of the spring 332, and when the support shaft 32 rotates, the boss 3311 on the sleeve 331 can abut against the support shaft 32.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 5 The support shaft 32 can be a substantially cylindrical shaft body, and the support shaft 32 includes opposite first and second ends 321 and 322. In some embodiments, the first and second ends 321 and 322 can be square heads, which are fixedly connected with the first mounting portion 10, so as to facilitate assembly and ensure that the support shaft 32 and the first mounting portion 10 do not rotate relative to each other. The second end 322 can have substantially the same structure as the first end 321, and the first and second ends 321 and 322 are fixedly connected with the first mounting portion 10 at the same time. Since both ends of the support shaft 32 are fixedly connected with the first mounting portion 10, the support shaft 32 and the first mounting portion 10 are not easily separated when the support shaft 32 is subjected to a large force.

[0031] The support shaft 32 is provided with a clamping groove 323, which is arranged on the side surface of the support shaft 32 and is used for cooperation between the support shaft 32 and the elastic member 33. Please continue to refer to Figure 5 The first and second ends 321 and 322 are located on both sides of the clamping groove 323. As an example, the clamping groove 323 can be an arc-shaped groove formed by the side surface of the support shaft 32, and the bottom wall surrounding the clamping groove 323 can be an arc-shaped wall 3231, which can cooperate with the arc-shaped surface 3313. When the elastic member 33 abuts against the support shaft 32, the boss 3311 on the elastic member 33 can slide along the arc-shaped wall 3231 on the clamping groove 323. In this embodiment, when the second plate body 3 closes the inlet on the first plate body 2, the boss 3311 just slides to the lowest part of the arc-shaped wall 3231. In this way, when the second plate body 3 does not close the first plate body 2, the support shaft 32 and the fixed portion 31 rotate and form a certain angle, and at this time, the clamping groove 323 and the boss 3311 also form a certain angle. Please refer to Figure 6(1) of FIG. 1, since the arc-shaped wall 3231 is approximately arc-shaped, when the outer sleeve 331 abuts against the spring 332, the spring 332 is compressed at this time, the spring 332 pushes the outer sleeve 331, the boss 3311 abuts against the arc-shaped wall 3231, and an action force F1 is exerted on the arc-shaped wall 3231 in the direction of movement of the boss 3311. Since the arc-shaped wall 3231 cooperates with the arc-shaped surface 3313, a component force f1 of the action force F1 is always perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft 32. Until the boss 3311 slides to the lowest point of the arc-shaped wall 3231. Please refer to Figure 6 (2) of FIG. 1, at this time, since the action force F1 of the boss 3311 on the arc-shaped surface 3313 is exactly perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft 32, the component force f1 of the boss 3311 on the arc-shaped surface 3313 is exactly equal to zero at this time. The component force f1 can constitute a torque E1 in the process, which can drive the shaft 32 to rotate, and the automatic reset of the hinge is realized. Please refer to Figure 6 (3) of FIG. 1, when the second plate body 3 and the first plate body 2 continue to rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow in the drawing due to inertia, the boss 3311 slides away from the lowest point of the arc-shaped wall 3231, at this time, the arc-shaped wall 3231 exerts an action force F2 on the boss 3311, which drives the boss 3311 and compresses the spring. According to Newton's third law, the reaction force -F2 of F2 is also in the direction of movement of the boss 3311, and the component force f2 of the reaction force -F2 is always perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft 32. As the spring is compressed, according to the force analysis, f2 increases as the spring is compressed, and -F2 gradually increases. In the process, the component force f1 can constitute a torque E2, the direction of E2 is opposite to the direction of the inertial rotation, so that the inertial rotation of the second plate body 3 gradually decreases, the limiting effect is realized, and damage caused by the collision between the second plate body 3 and the first plate body 2 is avoided.

[0032] In some embodiments, a limiting portion 324 can also be arranged on the shaft 32, the limiting portion 324 can be located on both sides of the clamping groove 323, and the limiting portion 324 can protrude from the clamping groove 323. The distance between the two end limiting portions 324 can be approximately matched with the size of the boss 3311 on the outer sleeve 331, so that when the boss 3311 slides along the arc-shaped wall 3231, the two sides of the boss 3311 can abut against the two limiting portions 324, and the boss 3311 cannot slide relatively with the shaft 32 in the axial direction of the shaft 32, nor can it be taken out of the clamping groove 323.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 7The first mounting portion 10 has a first mounting plane 11 which is tightly assembled with the first plate body 2. The first mounting portion 10 also has a first mounting column 111 which can be formed on the first mounting plane 11. The first plate body 2 has a first assembly hole (not shown in the figure) which is matched with the first mounting column 111. The first mounting column 111 is arranged in the first assembly hole. In some embodiments, the first mounting column 111 is sleeved with a first rubber sleeve (not shown in the figure). The first rubber sleeve is annular and is sleeved on the first mounting column 111. The outer surface of the first rubber sleeve can be in contact with the first plate body 2 to form a buffer. In this way, the first plate body 2 is prevented from being broken due to the mutual extrusion between the first mounting column 111 and the first plate body 2. Meanwhile, the connection between the first plate body 2 and the first mounting portion 10 is more compact.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first mounting plane 11 has a protruding portion 13. The protruding portion 13 is substantially U-shaped, and the two ends of the U-shaped protruding portion 13 are the edges of the first mounting plane 11. The protruding portion 13 has an installation groove 133 which is formed on the inner side of the U-shaped protruding portion 13 and is perpendicular to the first mounting plane 11. In this embodiment, the installation groove 133 can pass through the entire first mounting portion 10 from the first mounting plane 11. The protruding portion 13 also has a notch 134. The shaft 32 can be embedded in the notch 134 and is fixedly connected with the protruding portion 13.

[0035] As an embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The protruding portion 13 can include a first protruding portion 131 and a second protruding portion 132. The first protruding portion 131 is substantially L-shaped, and the second protruding portion 132 is substantially opposite to the first protruding portion 131. One end of the short side of the L-shaped first protruding portion 131 can abut against the second protruding portion 132. In this way, the first protruding portion 131 and the second protruding portion 132 form the two sides of the U-shaped protruding portion 13, and the first protruding portion 131 and the second protruding portion 132 jointly form the installation groove 133. The notch 134 includes a first notch 1341 and a second notch 1342. The first notch 1341 is arranged on the first protruding portion 131 and can be matched with the first end 321 of the shaft 32. Since the first end 321 of the shaft 32 is square, the first end 321 can be embedded in the first notch 1341. Similarly, the second notch 1342 can also be square, and the second end 322 of the shaft 32 is square. Therefore, the second end 322 can be embedded in the second notch 1342. In this way, the shaft 32 is fixedly connected with the first mounting portion 10.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first protruding portion 131 and the second protruding portion 132 also have a fixing hole 14. A fixing bolt (not shown in the figure) can be arranged in the fixing hole 14. The fixing bolt is used to abut against the shaft 32 to prevent the shaft 32 from being pulled out of the notch. Please refer to Figure 6The fixing hole 14 can be arranged at the end of the first protruding part 131 and the second protruding part 132. As an example, the fixing hole 14 can be substantially parallel to the first mounting plane 11. In other embodiments, the fixing hole 14 can be arranged at an angle with the first mounting plane 11, which is not limited herein. The fixing hole 14 arranged on the first protruding part 131 penetrates the first protruding part 131 and communicates with the first gap 1341. The fixing hole 14 arranged on the second protruding part 132 penetrates the second protruding part 132 and communicates with the second gap 1342. The length of the fixing bolt can be slightly longer than the length of the fixing hole 14. When the fixing bolt is inserted into the fixing hole 14 from the end, part of the fixing bolt can penetrate the protruding part 13 and enter the gap 134. The fixing bolt arranged on the first protruding part 131 and the second protruding part 132 respectively enters the first gap 1341 and the second gap 1342 and abuts against the first end 321 and the second end 322 of the support shaft 32. In the embodiment, the fixing hole 14 can be provided with a thread. The bolt can be screwed into the fixing hole 14 by threaded connection. In other embodiments, the fixing bolt can be in interference fit with the fixing hole 14. The fixing bolt and the protruding part 13 are fixedly connected by friction, which is not limited herein.

[0037] Please refer again to Figure 3 The connecting mechanism 1 can further include a first mounting plate 40 which can be assembled on the first mounting part 10. The first mounting plate 40 can be substantially a plate structure. In the embodiment, the first mounting plate 40 can be provided with a first connecting hole 41 which penetrates the first mounting plate 40. The first mounting column 111 can be provided with a first threaded hole 1111 at the end away from the first mounting plane 11. The first threaded hole 1111 can be coaxially arranged with the first connecting hole 41. In some embodiments, the first mounting plate 40 can be fixed to the end surface of the first mounting column 111 by using a bolt through the first threaded hole 1111. In this way, the first plate body 2 can be assembled between the first mounting plate 40 and the first mounting plane 11.

[0038] In the embodiment, the first mounting plate 40 is further provided with an avoiding groove 42 which is substantially the same size as the outer surface of the protruding part 13 and corresponds to the fixing part 31. In this way, the fixing part 31 can pass through the avoiding groove 42 during relative rotation between the fixing part 31 and the first mounting part 10, avoiding interference between the fixing part 31 and the first mounting plate 40 during movement.

[0039] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 1 can further comprise a first cover plate 50, which can be assembled on the first mounting portion 10 and protect the first mounting portion 10. One side of the first cover plate 50 can be inwardly recessed and can be formed with a first recess 51, and the first cover plate 50 can be fixed to the first mounting portion 10 through the first recess 51.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 1 can further comprise a first pressing plate 60. Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 , the first pressing plate 60 can be arranged opposite to the first mounting plate 40 and abut against the first mounting plate 40, and a through hole opposite to the position of the first threaded hole 1111 is also arranged on the first pressing plate 60. The first pressing plate 60 can be fixedly mounted on the end face of the first mounting column 111 by using a bolt to pass through the first pressing plate 60 and the first mounting plate 40, so that the first mounting plate 40 can abut against the first plate body 2. Since the first mounting plane 11 and the first mounting plate 40 are located on both sides of the first plate body 2 and clamp the first plate body 2, the fixed connection between the first mounting portion 10 and the first plate body 2 is more firm.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first pressing plate 60 can also be used to fix the first cover plate 50. Please refer to Figure 7 , the shape of the first pressing plate 60 can be substantially the same as that of the first recess 51, so that the first pressing plate 60 can be embedded into the first recess 51 during assembly. As an example, the first pressing plate 60 can further comprise a first circlip 61, which can be a substantially M-shaped circlip, but in other embodiments, the first circlip 61 can also be other shapes of the first circlip 61, which are not limited herein. A first circlip groove 62 can also be arranged on the first pressing plate 60, which is arranged at the end of the first pressing plate 60 and has a shape substantially the same as one end of the first circlip 61. One end of the first circlip 61 is embedded into the first circlip groove 62, and when the first mounting plate 40 is embedded into the first recess 51, the first circlip 61 can be deformed, and the other end of the first circlip 61 is located in the first recess 51 and abuts against the first cover plate 50, so that the first cover plate 50 can be mounted on the first mounting portion 10 by using the frictional force between the first circlip 61 and the first cover plate 50. At the same time, the assembly process of the first cover plate 50 is relatively simple. In other embodiments, the first cover plate 50 can also be arranged with a through hole for fixing the bolt of the first pressing plate 60, and the first cover plate 50 can be directly fixed relative to the first mounting plate 40 and the fixing plate by using the bolt to pass through the through hole, and the fixing manner of the first cover plate 50 is not limited herein.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3The second mounting portion 20 has a second mounting plane 21, which is tightly assembled with the second plate body 3. The second mounting portion 20 has a second mounting column 211, which can be formed on the second mounting plane 21. A second assembly hole (not shown in the figure) is formed on the second plate body 3 and matched with the second mounting column 211. The second mounting column 211 is arranged in the second assembly hole. In some embodiments, a second rubber sleeve (not shown in the figure) is further sleeved on the second mounting column 211. The second rubber sleeve is also substantially annular and is sleeved on the second mounting column 211. The outer surface of the second rubber sleeve can be in contact with the second plate body 3 to form a buffer. In this way, the mutual extrusion between the second mounting column 211 and the second plate body 3 is avoided to prevent the second plate body 3 from being broken. Meanwhile, the connection between the second plate body 3 and the second mounting portion 20 is more compact.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second rubber sleeve can be an eccentric sleeve, which has an eccentric hole. The outer surface of the second rubber sleeve can be in contact with the second plate body 3. When the second rubber sleeve is sleeved on the second mounting column 211, the second mounting column 211 is arranged in the eccentric hole. By rotating the second rubber sleeve around the eccentric hole, the relative position between the second plate body 3 and the second mounting portion 20 can be adjusted. When the glass is sagging, the glass can be lifted by adjusting the second rubber sleeve.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 1 can further include a second cover plate 80, which is assembled on the second mounting portion 20 and protects the second mounting portion 20. The second cover plate 80 can have a second groove 81, and the second cover plate 80 can be fixed to the second mounting portion 20 through the second groove 81. The first cover plate 50 and the second cover plate 80 have consistent appearances, so that the connecting mechanism 1 is more beautiful.

[0045] The connecting mechanism 1 can further include a second pressing plate 70, which is assembled on the second mounting portion 20. The second pressing plate 70 can be substantially a plate structure. In this embodiment, the second pressing plate 70 can be provided with a second connecting hole 71, which penetrates the second pressing plate 70. The second mounting column 211 can be provided with a second threaded hole 2111 at the end away from the second mounting plane 21. The second threaded hole 2111 can be coaxially arranged with the second connecting hole 71. The second pressing plate 70 can be fixedly mounted on the end surface of the second mounting column 211 by using a bolt, so that the second pressing plate 70 can abut against the second plate body 3. The second mounting plane 21 and the second pressing plate 70 are located on the two sides of the second plate body 3 and clamp the second plate body 3.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second pressing plate 70 can further include a second circlip 72, which is used to fix the second cover plate 80. Please continue to refer to Figure 3The outer contour of the second pressing plate 70 is substantially the same as the first recess 81, and the second cover plate 80 can be fixed by embedding the second pressing plate 70 into the first recess 81. The second spring 72 can be an M-shaped second spring 72. A second spring groove 73 can be arranged on the second pressing plate 70, and the second spring groove 73 is arranged at the end of the second pressing plate 70 and has a shape substantially the same as one end of the second spring 72. When the second pressing plate 70 is embedded into the first recess 81, the second spring 72 can be deformed, and the other end of the second spring 72 abuts the inner side of the second cover plate 80. In this way, the second cover plate 80 can be installed on the second mounting portion 20 by the friction between the second spring 72 and the second cover plate 80. The second cover plate 80 is easier to assemble.

[0047] The working principle of the hinge provided in the application is as follows:

[0048] When the first plate body 2 and the second plate body 3 rotate relative to each other and have a certain angle, the first mounting plane 11 and the second mounting plane 21 have a certain angle. Since the first mounting portion 10 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 30, and the second mounting portion 20 is fixedly connected with the fixed portion 31, when the support shaft 32 and the fixed portion 31 rotate relative to each other by a certain angle, the outer sleeve 331 arranged in the second mounting hole 312 of the fixed portion 31 is deformed under the action of the spring 332, the boss 3311 on the outer sleeve 331 abuts the arc-shaped wall 3231 on the support shaft 32, the arc-shaped wall 3231 generates a component force in the same direction as the rotating direction of the support shaft 32, and the arc-shaped wall 3231 provides torque for the rotation of the support shaft 32. In this way, the support shaft 32 starts to rotate under the action of the torque, and finally the boss 3311 slides along the arc-shaped wall 3231 to the bottom of the clamping groove 323, so that the automatic reset of the second plate body 3 is realized, and the leakage or overflow of the second plate body 3 when the second plate body 3 is forgotten to be closed is avoided. Meanwhile, when the first plate body 2 and the second plate body 3 rotate by inertia, the arc-shaped wall 3231 generates a component force in the opposite direction of the rotating direction of the support shaft 32, so that the inertia rotation can be stopped in time, and the damage of the first plate body 2 and the second plate body 3 due to the inertia movement is avoided.
