Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of building construction, and in particular to an adjustable hinge device and method. Background Art

[0002] Articulation refers to the connection with hinges. It is often used in the connection of two devices or parts of machines, vehicles, doors and windows, and objects, such as articulated trolleybuses, articulated trucks, and articulated buses. Bearing connections and hinge connections are also common hinges. The door leaf and door frame that people commonly see are connected together, so they cannot be separated, but they can still achieve conditional relative movement. This is mainly because the hinges connecting them make them have the movement characteristics of door leaves and door frames. Later, people called the connection with the movement characteristics of door leaves and door frames a hinge.

[0003] In large-space indoor ceiling projects, when multiple modules are assembled, an adjustable hinge state needs to be formed between the modules. However, the current hinge devices are usually locked, and the hinges cannot be adjusted, which has certain defects. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable hinge device and method, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that when assembling multiple modules of a large-space indoor ceiling, an adjustable hinge connection cannot be formed between modules.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention discloses an adjustable hinge device, comprising a first connecting member and a second connecting member;

[0006] A first connecting hole is provided at one end of the first connecting member, and a plurality of adjustment holes that are interconnected are provided on the first connecting member. Second connecting holes are provided at both ends of the second connecting member, and ends of the first connecting member and the second connecting member are connected with connecting components, which include a connecting screw and a limiting rod fixed to the head end and the threaded portion of the connecting screw, the diameter of the limiting rod is suitable for the inner diameter of the adjustment hole, the diameter of the threaded portion of the connecting screw is smaller than the diameter of the limiting rod, and the connecting screw is threadedly connected with a first nut and a second nut.

[0007] A further improvement of the adjustable hinge device of the present invention is that the diameters of the adjustment holes are consistent, and a plurality of the adjustment holes are arranged overlappingly in sequence.

[0008] A further improvement of the adjustable hinge device of the present invention is that a limiting groove is provided on a side of the first nut close to the limiting rod, and an inner wall of the limiting groove is slidably connected to an outer wall of the limiting rod.

[0009] A further improvement of the adjustable hinge device of the present invention is that the threads arranged inside the first nut and the second nut have opposite rotation directions.

[0010] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides an adjustable articulation method, comprising the following steps:

[0011] Providing an adjustable hinge arrangement as described above;

[0012] Screw the second nut and the first nut to the end of the connecting screw;

[0013] Connect the first connecting hole to the module to be installed, and connect the second connecting hole away from the connecting screw to another module to be installed;

[0014] Lift the connecting screw rod and slide the threaded portion of the connecting screw rod into the adjusting hole until the distance between the two modules to be installed reaches a preset value;

[0015] The connecting screw rod is lowered, and the first nut and the second nut are screwed until the first connecting member and the second connecting member are limited at the limiting rod.

[0016] The adjustable hinge device of the present invention is further improved in that the threads arranged inside the first nut and the second nut have opposite rotation directions; when the first nut and the second nut are screwed until the first connecting member and the second connecting member are limited at the limiting rod, the first nut is tightened until the first connecting member and the second connecting member are limited at the limiting rod, and then the second nut and the first nut are screwed against each other until they are locked.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a positive and obvious effect. The present invention realizes the width adjustment between the first connecting member and the second connecting member through overlapping adjustment holes, and realizes the rotatable connection between the first connecting member and the second connecting member through screwing nuts, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that when assembling multiple modules of a large-space indoor ceiling, an adjustable hinge connection cannot be formed between modules. In the large-space indoor ceiling project, the present invention needs to form an adjustable hinge between adjacent modules when assembling adjacent modules, so that the integrity between the modules is guaranteed during adjustment, and the connecting members are guaranteed to remain connected.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Please see attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 2 , an adjustable hinge device, including a first connecting member 1 and a second connecting member 2; a first connecting member 1 is provided with a first connecting hole 11 at one end, and a plurality of adjusting holes 12 that are mutually interlinked are provided on the first connecting member 1, and second connecting holes 21 are respectively provided at both ends of the second connecting member 2, and the ends of the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are connected with a connecting component 3, and the connecting component 3 includes a connecting screw 31 and a limiting rod 32 fixed to the head end and the threaded part of the connecting screw 31, the diameter of the limiting rod 32 is suitable for the inner diameter of the adjusting hole 12, the diameter of the threaded part of the connecting screw 31 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting rod 32, and the connecting screw 31 is threadedly connected with a first nut 33 and a second nut 34. In this embodiment, the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are rotatably connected by the connecting assembly 3, and a plurality of adjustment holes 12 are provided to adjust the rotation radius of the first connecting member 1. The first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are hinged by the cooperation of the connecting screw 31 with the first nut 33 and the second nut 34, which is convenient for construction. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The connecting screw 31 is provided with a limit rod 32, and the outer wall of the limit rod 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment hole 12. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the limit rod 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment hole 12 to prevent the connecting screw 31 from sliding into other adjustment holes 12.

[0026] The diameters of the adjustment holes 12 are consistent, and a plurality of the adjustment holes 12 are arranged in an overlapping manner. In this embodiment, a plurality of adjustment holes 12 are arranged in an overlapping manner, and the distance between the centers of two adjacent adjustment holes 12 is less than twice the radius, so that the connecting screw 31 has enough width to move into different adjustment holes 12 without being stuck by the adjustment hole 12, thereby realizing the adjustment of the rotation radius of the first connecting member 1.

[0027] A limiting groove 331 is provided on one side of the first nut 33 close to the limiting rod 32, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 331 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 32. In this embodiment, the first nut 33 achieves a limiting effect on the connecting screw 31 through the cooperation between the limiting groove 331 and the limiting rod 32, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the connecting screw 31.

[0028] The internal threads of the first nut 33 and the second nut 34 are arranged in opposite directions. In this embodiment, the internal threads of the first nut 33 and the second nut 34 are arranged in opposite directions, that is, the threads of the first nut 33 are opposite to the threads of the screw rod 31, and the threads of the second nut 34 are the same as the threads of the screw rod 31. For example, when the first nut 33 is screwed on the screw rod 31 in a clockwise direction, the second nut 34 is screwed on the screw rod 31 in a counterclockwise direction. When the first nut 33 and the second nut 34 are installed on the connecting screw rod 31, and the first nut 33 is fitted with the limiting rod 32, and the second nut 34 is fitted with the first nut 33, relative locking is achieved to prevent the first nut 33 and the second nut 34 from being separated from the connecting screw rod 31.

[0029] To summarize, the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are rotatably connected through the connecting assembly 3, and a plurality of adjustment holes 12 are provided to adjust the rotation radius of the first connecting member 1; the limiting rod 32 is respectively slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting hole 12 and the inside of the second connecting hole 21, so that the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 can be rotated after being locked with the cooperation of the connecting screw 31, the first nut 33 and the second nut 34, thereby realizing the hinge function and facilitating construction.

[0030] On the other hand, please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 The present invention also provides an adjustable articulation method, comprising the following steps:

[0031] Providing an adjustable hinge arrangement as described above;

[0032] Screw the second nut 34 and the first nut 33 to the end of the connecting screw 31;

[0033] Connect the first connecting hole 11 to the ceiling module to be installed, and connect the second connecting hole 21 away from the connecting screw 31 to another ceiling module to be installed;

[0034] The connecting screw 31 is lifted, and the threaded portion of the connecting screw 31 is slid into the adjusting hole 12 until the distance between the two modules to be installed reaches a preset value. Since the diameter of the threaded portion of the connecting screw 31 is smaller than the diameter of the adjusting hole 12, the connecting screw 31 can move back and forth between the multiple adjusting holes 12 to achieve the spatial position adjustment between the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2, thereby meeting the distance adjustment between adjacent assembled modules of the large ceiling;

[0035] The connecting screw rod 31 is lowered, and the first nut 33 and the second nut 34 are screwed until the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are limited at the limiting rod 32 .

[0036] Furthermore, the threads arranged inside the first nut 33 and the second nut 34 have opposite rotation directions; when the first nut 33 and the second nut 34 are screwed until the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are limited at the limiting rod 32, the first nut 33 is tightened until the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are limited at the limiting rod, and then the second nut 34 and the first nut 33 are screwed against each other until they are locked. At this time, the first connecting member 1 and the second connecting member 2 are not completely locked and cannot slide along the adjustment hole 12, but can still rotate around the limiting rod 32, thereby forming a fixed position hinge, and then the rotation fine-tuning of two adjacent ceiling modules can be adjusted.

[0037] The present invention realizes the width adjustment between the first connecting member and the second connecting member through overlapping adjustment holes, and realizes the rotatable connection between the first connecting member and the second connecting member through screwing nuts, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art that when assembling multiple modules of a large-space indoor ceiling, an adjustable hinge connection cannot be formed between modules. In the large-space indoor ceiling project, the present invention needs to form an adjustable hinge between adjacent modules when assembling adjacent modules, so that when adjusting, the integrity between the modules is guaranteed, and the connecting member is guaranteed to remain in a connected state.

[0038] The parts not involved in the present invention are the same as the prior art or can be implemented by the prior art. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as the preferred embodiment, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modify the technical content disclosed above to an equivalent embodiment of equivalent changes without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still belongs to the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
