Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rotating engineering components, and particularly to a hinge, a housing, and an automated device. Background Technology

[0002] A hinge is a movable connecting device that allows a door, cover, or other swinging part to rotate. Rotating bodies such as door panels or rotating covers can be rotatably mounted to a frame or body via hinges.

[0003] To ensure the safety of rotating bodies such as doors or swivel covers, hinges are typically composed of moving hinges, stationary hinges, friction plates, and locking plates. The moving hinges are installed on the rotating body, while the stationary hinges are installed on the main body. Multiple friction plates abut against each other and are connected to the moving and stationary hinges respectively. This allows the hinge to generate friction through the friction plates when the rotating body rotates, increasing the resistance encountered by the rotating body during rotation, so that the rotating body can achieve a slow closing state through the hinge.

[0004] However, since different rotating bodies have different weights, heavier rotating bodies usually need to be paired with hinges with lower rotational resistance, while lighter rotating bodies usually need to be paired with hinges with higher rotational resistance. However, the rotational resistance caused by friction generated by the hinge when the rotating body rotates is usually constant, so the damping force of the hinge is usually not adjustable. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a hinge that can control the frictional force of the relative rotation of a first hinge and a second hinge, so as to adjust the magnitude of the damping force.

[0006] This invention also proposes a housing having the aforementioned hinge.

[0007] This aspect also proposes an automated device having the aforementioned hinge.

[0008] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a hinge includes: a rotating assembly comprising a first hinge, a second hinge, and a pivot, wherein the first hinge is connected to one end of the pivot and is rotatable synchronously with the pivot, the second hinge is provided with a through-hole receiving channel, and the other end of the pivot passes through the receiving channel; and an adjusting assembly comprising an elastic element, an adjusting element, and a damping element, wherein the damping element comprises a first damping structure and a second damping structure, both the first damping structure and the second damping structure are disposed within the receiving channel and both are sleeved on the pivot, the first damping structure is rotatable synchronously with the pivot, the second damping structure abuts against the first damping structure and is rotatable synchronously with the second hinge, both ends of the elastic element abut against the end of the damping element and the adjusting element respectively, and the adjusting element is movable toward and away from the damping element.

[0009] The hinge according to the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: In the embodiments of the present invention, the external structure can be connected to the first hinge and the second hinge respectively. The second hinge can be fixedly installed. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the first hinge, and the rotation of the first hinge can be synchronous with the rotation of the rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating shaft passes through the receiving channel and is rotatably disposed in the receiving channel. The first damping structure is connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotation of the rotating shaft can drive the first damping structure to rotate synchronously. By rotating the first hinge, the rotating shaft can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the first damping structure to move. The second damping structure is connected to the second hinge. The fixed installation of the second hinge allows the second damping structure to remain stationary relative to the second hinge. The first damping structure abuts against the second damping structure and rotates relative to the second damping structure, thereby generating friction between the first damping structure and the second damping structure, increasing the difficulty of the relative rotation of the first hinge and the second hinge, and enabling the rotation of the first hinge to stop. Since the receiving channel is through-type, the operator can control the second hinge from one side. The adjusting component, by controlling its movement towards the damping component, can compress the elastic component, which in turn compresses the damping component, increasing the pressure between the first and second damping structures. This increases the friction between the first and second damping structures, further increasing the difficulty of their relative rotation. Conversely, by controlling its movement away from the damping component, the force of the elastic component compressing the damping component is reduced, thus decreasing the pressure between the first and second damping structures and reducing the friction, making their relative rotation easier. Controlling the adjusting component allows for adjustment of the pressure between the first and second damping structures, thereby controlling the friction between the first and second hinges and the difficulty of their relative rotation. This allows for adjustment of the hinge's damping force, improving its adaptability and better meeting practical needs.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adjusting member includes an adjusting bolt, and the end of the rotating shaft away from the first hinge is provided with a threaded hole. The adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole and abuts against the end of the elastic member away from the damping member.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adjusting member further includes a protective cover; both ends of the receiving channel extend to the outer wall of the second hinge and respectively form a first connecting port and a second connecting port; one end of the rotating shaft passes through the first connecting port and the rotating shaft portion extends into the receiving channel; the protective cover is slidably disposed in the receiving channel and is capable of closing the second connecting port; a through hole is provided on the protective cover, and the adjusting bolt passes through the through hole and is capable of closing the through hole.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic element, adjusting bolt, and protective cover are disposed within the receiving channel.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, multiple first damping structures and multiple second damping structures are provided, and each can be detachably sleeved on the rotating shaft. The first damping structures are arranged in sequence at intervals, and the second damping structures are arranged one by one between two adjacent first damping structures.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a protrusion is provided on the side end of the second damping structure, and a groove communicating with the receiving channel is provided in the receiving channel. The extending direction of the groove is the same as the extending direction of the receiving channel, and the protrusion is slidably disposed in the groove.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a boss is provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft, and the end of the damping member away from the elastic member abuts against the boss.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first hinge is provided with a through mounting channel, the two ends of the mounting channel extend to the outer wall of the first hinge respectively and form a third connecting port and a fourth connecting port respectively, one end of the rotating shaft passes through the third connecting port and the rotating shaft part extends into the mounting channel, and a locking block is provided at the end of the rotating shaft away from the threaded hole, the locking block engaging with the fourth connecting port.

[0017] According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, the housing includes the hinge described in the first aspect embodiment.

[0018] According to the housing of the present invention, at least the following beneficial effects are achieved: Through the hinge of the first aspect embodiment described above, the external structure can be connected to the first hinge and the second hinge respectively. The second hinge can be fixedly installed. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the first hinge, and the rotation of the first hinge can be synchronized with the rotation of the rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating shaft passes through the receiving channel and is rotatably disposed within the receiving channel. The first damping structure is connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotation of the rotating shaft can drive the first damping structure to rotate synchronously. By rotating the first hinge, the rotating shaft can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the first damping structure to move. The second damping structure is connected to the second hinge, and the fixed installation of the second hinge allows the second damping structure to remain stationary relative to the second hinge. The first damping structure abuts against the second damping structure and rotates relative to the second damping structure, generating friction between the first and second damping structures to increase the difficulty of relative rotation between the first and second hinges, thus stopping the rotation of the first hinge. Since the receiving channel is through-type, the operator can access the second hinge from... One side controls the adjustment component. By moving the adjustment component closer to the damping component, it can compress the elastic component, which in turn compresses the damping component, increasing the pressure between the first and second damping structures. This increases the friction between the first and second damping structures, further increasing the difficulty of their relative rotation. Conversely, by moving the adjustment component away from the damping component, the force of the elastic component compressing the damping component is reduced, thus reducing the pressure between the first and second damping structures and decreasing the friction, making their relative rotation easier. The adjustment component also controls the pressure between the first and second damping structures, thereby controlling the friction between the first and second hinges and the difficulty of their relative rotation. This allows for adjustment of the hinge's damping force, improving its adaptability and better meeting practical needs.

[0019] An automated device according to a third aspect of the present invention includes the hinge described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0020] The automated device according to the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: Through the hinge of the first aspect embodiment described above, the external structure can be connected to the first hinge and the second hinge respectively. The second hinge can be fixedly installed. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the first hinge, and the rotation of the first hinge can be synchronous with the rotation of the rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating shaft passes through the receiving channel and is rotatably disposed within the receiving channel. The first damping structure is connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotation of the rotating shaft can drive the first damping structure to rotate synchronously. By rotating the first hinge, the rotating shaft can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the first damping structure to move. The second damping structure is connected to the second hinge, and the fixed installation of the second hinge allows the second damping structure to remain stationary relative to the second hinge. The first damping structure abuts against the second damping structure and rotates relative to the second damping structure, generating friction between the first and second damping structures to increase the difficulty of relative rotation between the first and second hinges, thus stopping the rotation of the first hinge. Since the receiving channel is through-type, the operator can access the second hinge... One side of the control adjustment component moves towards the damping component, causing it to press against the elastic component. This, in turn, causes the elastic component to press against the damping component, increasing the pressure between the first and second damping structures. This increases the friction between the first and second damping structures, further increasing the difficulty of their relative rotation. Conversely, moving the adjustment component away from the damping component reduces the force of the elastic component pressing against the damping component, thus reducing the pressure between the first and second damping structures. This reduces the friction between the first and second damping structures, making their relative rotation easier. By controlling the adjustment component, the pressure between the first and second damping structures can be adjusted, thereby controlling the friction between the first and second hinges. This allows for control over the difficulty of their relative rotation, adjusting the damping force of the hinge, improving its adaptability, and better meeting practical needs.

[0028] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 A hinge, housing, and automated equipment according to embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the hinge includes a rotating assembly 100 and an adjusting assembly 200; the rotating assembly 100 includes a first hinge 110, a second hinge 120, and a rotating shaft 130, the first hinge 110 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 130 and can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 130, the second hinge 120 is provided with a through receiving channel 121, and the other end of the rotating shaft 130 passes through the receiving channel 121; the adjusting assembly 200 includes an elastic member 210, an adjusting member 220, and a damping member 230, the damping member 230... It includes a first damping structure 231 and a second damping structure 232. Both the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 are disposed in the receiving channel 121 and are both sleeved on the rotating shaft 130. The first damping structure 231 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 130. The second damping structure 232 abuts against the first damping structure 231 and can rotate synchronously with the second hinge 120. The two ends of the elastic member 210 abut against the end of the damping member 230 and the adjusting member 220, respectively. The adjusting member 220 can move toward the damping member 230 and away from the damping member 230.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the external structure can be connected to the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120 respectively. The second hinge 120 can be fixedly installed. One end of the rotating shaft 130 is connected to the first hinge 110. The rotation of the first hinge 110 can drive the rotating shaft 130 to rotate synchronously. The other end of the rotating shaft 130 passes through the receiving channel 121 and is rotatably disposed within the receiving channel 121. The first damping structure 231 is connected to the rotating shaft 130. The rotation of the rotating shaft 130 can drive the first damping structure 231 to rotate synchronously. By rotating the first hinge 110, the rotating shaft 130 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the first damping structure 231 to move. The second damping structure 232 is connected to the second hinge 120. The fixed installation of the second hinge 120 allows the second damping structure 232 to remain stationary relative to it. The first damping structure 231 abuts against the second damping structure 232 and rotates relative to it, generating friction between them. This increases the difficulty of relative rotation between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, ultimately stopping the rotation of the first hinge 110. Since the receiving channel 121 is through-hole, the operator can control the adjusting member 220 from one side of the second hinge 120. The position within the accommodating channel 121 is adjusted by controlling the adjusting member 220 to move closer to the elastic damping member 230 to compress the elastic member 210. This allows the elastic member 210 to compress the damping member 230, increasing the pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232, thereby increasing the friction between them and further increasing the difficulty of their relative rotation. Conversely, by controlling the adjusting member 220 to move away from the elastic damping member 230, the force of the elastic member 210 compressing the damping member 230 is reduced, thus reducing the pressure on the first damping structure 231. The pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 and reducing the difficulty of relative rotation between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232. The pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 can be adjusted by controlling the adjustment component 220, thereby controlling the friction between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, thereby controlling the difficulty of relative rotation between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, adjusting the magnitude of the damping force of the hinge, improving the adaptability of the hinge, and better meeting actual needs.

[0031] Specifically, a second gasket is provided between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120. The two ends of the second gasket abut against the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120 respectively, so as to reduce the wear on the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120 when they rotate relative to each other. By providing the second gasket, dust or other external substances can be reduced from entering the interior of the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, thereby improving the sealing effect. The second gasket can also work with the protective cover 222 to form a relatively closed dustproof environment inside the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120.

[0032] Reference Figures 2 to 4 It is understood that the adjusting member 220 includes an adjusting bolt 221, and the end of the rotating shaft 130 away from the first hinge 110 is provided with a threaded hole 131. The adjusting bolt 221 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 131 and abuts against the end of the elastic member 210 away from the damping member 230.

[0033] Specifically, by rotating the adjusting bolt 221, the adjusting bolt 221 can move within the thread to control the length of the adjusting bolt 221 within the threaded hole 131. The bolt head of the adjusting bolt 221 abuts against the elastic element 210 to compress the elastic element 210, so that rotating the bolt can control the amount of compression of the elastic element 210, thereby controlling the thrust of the elastic element 210 to push the damping element 230. By setting the bolt, the operator can quickly adjust and control the friction between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232, reducing the difficulty of using the adjusting element 220 and improving the convenience of the adjusting element 220.

[0034] The threaded hole 131 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 130, and the extension direction of the threaded hole 131 is the same as the extension direction of the rotating shaft 130.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that the adjusting member 220 also includes a protective cover 222; the two ends of the receiving channel 121 extend to the outer wall of the second hinge 120 respectively and form a first connecting port and a second connecting port respectively; one end of the rotating shaft 130 passes through the first connecting port and the rotating shaft 130 extends into the receiving channel 121; the protective cover 222 is slidably disposed in the receiving channel 121 and can close the second connecting port; a through hole 223 is provided on the protective cover 222; the adjusting bolt 221 passes through the through hole 223 and can close the through hole 223.

[0036] Specifically, the rotating shaft 130 extends into the receiving channel 121 from the second connecting port, and one end of the rotating shaft 130 extends from the first connecting port and into the first hinge 110, so that the rotating shaft 130 is partially located in the receiving channel 121 and can rotate relative to the second hinge 120; a slidable protective cover 222 is provided at the second connecting port, and the shape and size of the cross section of the protective cover 222 are the same as the shape and size of the cross surface of the receiving channel 121, so that the cover can close the second connecting port and prevent external substances from entering the receiving channel 121 from the second connecting port.

[0037] The adjusting bolt 221 includes an integrally formed bolt head and a threaded rod. A through hole 223 is provided on the protective cover 222. The through hole 223 is a stepped through hole. The threaded rod of the adjusting bolt 221 passes through the through hole 223 and is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. The bolt head of the adjusting bolt 221 is located inside the through hole 223 and abuts against the inner wall of the through hole 223. The end of the elastic element 210 away from the damping element 230 abuts against the protective cover 222. The adjusting bolt 221 abuts against the elastic element 210 through the protective cover 222.

[0038] Specifically, the protective cover 222 is provided at the second connection port, which can prevent dust and other external substances from entering the receiving channel 121; and the protective cover 222 can press the elastic member 210, so that the elastic member 210 is in a compressed state and continuously pushes the damping member 230 to ensure that the elastic member 210 can work normally.

[0039] A first gasket 224 is provided between the protective cover 222 and the elastic member 210 to separate the protective cover 222 and the elastic member 210, thereby reducing the wear caused by direct contact between the protective cover 222 and the elastic member 210.

[0040] Furthermore, after the elastic element 210 and the damping element 230 are installed on the rotating shaft 130, the protective cover 222 can be directly installed from the second connecting port into the receiving channel 121 to pre-position the elastic element 210. Then, the adjusting bolt 221 is inserted through the through hole 223 and connected to the rotating shaft 130. By setting the protective cover 222, the assembly difficulty of the hinge can be reduced, and it is also convenient to install and disassemble.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 It is understandable that the elastic element 210, adjusting bolt 221 and protective cover 222 are arranged in the receiving channel 121 to reduce exposed parts, making the hinge more aesthetically pleasing overall. This allows the second hinge 120 to protect the elastic element 210, adjusting bolt 221 and protective cover 222, thereby improving the service life of the hinge.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3It is understandable that by setting multiple first damping structures 231 and second damping structures 232, the frictional force generated by the damping element 230 when the first hinge 110 rotates relative to the second hinge 120 can be increased. The first damping structures 231 and second damping structures 232 are detachably sleeved on the rotating shaft 130. Users can adjust the magnitude of the frictional force generated by the damping element 230 by increasing or decreasing the first damping structures 231 and second damping structures 232 according to actual needs. The second damping structures 232 are arranged one by one between two adjacent first damping structures 231, so that both sides of the second damping structure 232 can abut against the first damping structure 231, so as to make full use of the second damping structure 232.

[0043] Specifically, both the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 can be sheet-like structures. The two end faces of the second damping structure 232 abut against the side end faces of the first damping structure 231, so that friction can be generated when the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 rotate relative to each other.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understandable that the damping component 230 also includes a spacer 233, and multiple spacers 233 are provided, with each spacer 233 being disposed between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232.

[0045] By setting the spacer 233, excessive friction between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 can be avoided, and the wear caused by friction between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 can be reduced. Specifically, the spacer 233 can be made of copper sheet or other materials. Of course, the number of copper sheets can be reduced depending on the specific situation to ensure the friction between the first damping element 230 and the second damping element 230.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that multiple elastic elements 210 are provided and arranged sequentially on the rotating shaft 130, and one of the elastic elements 210 abuts against the first damping structure 231 or the second damping structure 232.

[0047] Specifically, multiple elastic elements 210 are arranged sequentially, with adjacent elastic elements 210 abutting against each other. One elastic element 210 abuts against the first damping structure 231, and another elastic element 210 abuts against the first gasket 224. By increasing or decreasing the number of elastic elements 210, the pressure applied by the multiple elastic elements 210 to the damping element 230 can be controlled. The elastic elements 210 are detachably sleeved on the rotating shaft 130. According to actual needs, the user can control the magnitude of the force that the elastic elements 210 can apply to the damping element 230 by increasing or decreasing the number of elastic elements 210, so as to adjust the magnitude of the frictional force generated between the damping elements 230.

[0048] Specifically, the elastic element 210 can be a spring sheet or other elastic structure.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that a protrusion 234 is provided on the side end of the second damping structure 232, and a groove 122 communicating with the receiving channel 121 is provided. The extension direction of the groove 122 is the same as the extension direction of the receiving channel 121, and the protrusion 234 is slidably disposed in the groove 122.

[0050] The second damping structure 232 is slidably disposed within the receiving channel 121. The protrusion 234 of the second damping structure 232 is disposed within the slide groove 122. Since the extension direction of the slide groove 122 is aligned with the extension direction of the receiving channel 121, the second damping structure 232 can slide within the receiving channel 121 along the extension direction of the receiving channel 121. The protrusion 234 and the slide groove 122 prevent the second damping structure 232 from rotating within the receiving channel 121, thereby preventing the first damping structure 231 from rotating and causing the second damping structure 232 to rotate, thus improving the stability of the damping component 230.

[0051] Specifically, the first damping structure 231 is provided with a non-circular hole, and the cross-section of the portion of the rotating shaft 130 that passes through the non-circular hole is a non-circular surface, so that the rotating shaft 130 can cooperate with the non-circular hole, allowing the first damping structure 231 to slide on the rotating shaft 130 but not to rotate on the rotating shaft 130, so that the first damping structure 231 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 130; while the second damping structure 232 is provided with a circular hole, through which the rotating shaft 130 passes, and the second damping structure 232 can slide and rotate relative to the rotating shaft 130, so that the second damping structure 232 can rotate synchronously relative to the second hinge 120.

[0052] Specifically, depending on the actual situation, the side end of the protective cover 222 can be provided with a protruding structure. The protruding structure can be set in conjunction with the slide groove 122. After the protective cover 222 is installed into the receiving channel, the protruding structure of the protective cover 222 is set in the slide groove 122 and can close the slide groove 122, so that the protective cover 222 can close the second communication port and seal the receiving channel 121, thereby preventing dust and other external substances from entering the receiving channel 121. Of course, depending on the actual situation, a mounting block that matches the slide groove can be provided. The mounting block is placed in the slide groove 122, and the mounting block abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove and the protective cover 222, so that the mounting block can close the slide groove 122, thereby preventing dust and other external substances from entering the receiving channel 121 from the slide groove 122.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understandable that a boss 132 is provided on the side wall of the rotating shaft 130, and the end of the damping member 230 away from the elastic member 210 abuts against the boss 132.

[0054] Specifically, the damping member 230 is composed of a plurality of first damping structures 231 and a plurality of second damping structures 232 stacked sequentially. Each second damping structure 232 has a first damping structure 231 on both sides. Since the first damping structure 231 is stationary relative to the rotating shaft 130, the damping member 230 abuts against the boss 132 through the first damping structure 231, so as to avoid friction between the first damping structure 231 and the boss 132 and reduce wear between the boss 132 and the first damping structure 231. By setting the boss 132, the position of the damping member 230 relative to the rotating shaft 130 can be defined, reducing the difficulty of installation. It can also cooperate with the adjusting member 220 to clamp the damping member 230, improving the stability of the hinge operation and reducing the contact area between the damping member 230 and the inner wall of the receiving channel 121.

[0055] Specifically, a third gasket is provided between the boss 132 and the inner bottom wall of the receiving channel 121. The third gasket abuts against the boss and the inner bottom wall of the receiving channel 121. By providing the third gasket, the wear between the boss 132 and the inner bottom wall of the second hinge 120 can be reduced.

[0056] It is understood that the first hinge 110 is provided with a through mounting channel, and the two ends of the mounting channel extend to the outer wall of the first hinge 110 respectively to form a third connecting port and a fourth connecting port respectively. One end of the rotating shaft 130 passes through the third connecting port and the rotating shaft 130 extends into the mounting channel. A locking block 133 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 130 away from the threaded hole 131, and the locking block 133 engages with the fourth connecting port.

[0057] The first hinge 110 is disposed on one side of the second hinge 120. The third connecting port on the first hinge 110 is disposed opposite to the first connecting port of the second hinge 120. The two ends of the rotating shaft 130 extend into the receiving channel 121 and the mounting channel from the first connecting port and the third connecting port, respectively. The shape of the mounting channel can match the shape of the part of the rotating shaft 130 located in the mounting channel. The cross-section of the mounting channel and the cross-section of the part of the rotating shaft 130 located in the mounting channel are the same and are both non-circular surfaces, so that the rotating shaft 130 can engage with the first hinge 110 after extending into the mounting channel, so that the rotating shaft 130 and the first hinge 110 can be relatively stationary. The shape of the cross-section of the mounting channel can be rectangular, square, elliptical, or other non-circular surfaces.

[0058] Specifically, a locking block 133 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 130 away from the threaded hole 131. The locking block 133 is integrally formed with the rotating shaft 130. The locking block 133 is interference-fitted with the fourth connecting port so that after the rotating shaft 130 is inserted into the installation channel, the locking block 133 can be locked at the fourth connecting port to fix the position of the rotating shaft 130 in the installation channel, prevent the rotating shaft 130 from sliding out of the installation channel, and improve the stability of the installation.

[0059] According to the actual situation, the hinge of the first aspect embodiment of the present invention can be assembled as follows: A third washer is fitted onto the rotating shaft 130, such that the third washer and the rotating shaft 130 are coaxially fitted; the rotating shaft 130 is passed sequentially through the first hinge 110, the second washer, and the second hinge 120; then, the first damping structure 231, the second damping structure 232, and the spacer 233 are sequentially fitted onto the rotating shaft 130; then, the elastic element 210 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 130 and abuts against the damping element 230; finally, the first washer 224 and the protective cover 222 are installed at the second communication port, and the adjustment bolt 22 is used to... 1 passes through the through hole 223 on the protective cover 222 and abuts against the protective cover 222, and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 131 on the rotating shaft 130 to fix the position of the protective cover 222; the external structure can be connected to the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120 respectively. By rotating the adjusting bolt 221, the position of the adjusting bolt 221 relative to the rotating shaft 130 can be controlled, so as to control the compression state of the elastic element 210, thereby controlling the damping force between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232, and controlling the friction force between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, the housing includes the hinge described in the first aspect embodiment. Through the hinge of the first aspect embodiment, an external structure can be connected to the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120 respectively. The second hinge 120 can be fixedly installed. One end of a rotating shaft 130 is connected to the first hinge 110. Rotation of the first hinge 110 can drive the rotating shaft 130 to rotate synchronously. The other end of the rotating shaft 130 passes through the receiving channel 121 and is rotatably disposed within the receiving channel 121. A first damping structure 231 is connected to the rotating shaft 130. Rotation of the rotating shaft 130 can drive the first damping structure 231 to rotate synchronously. By rotating the first... A hinge 110 can drive the rotating shaft 130 to rotate, thereby driving the first damping structure 231 to move. The second damping structure 232 is connected to the second hinge 120. The fixed installation of the second hinge 120 allows the second damping structure 232 to remain stationary relative to it. The first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 abut against each other and rotate relative to each other, generating friction between them. This increases the difficulty of the relative rotation of the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, eventually stopping the rotation of the first hinge 110. Because the receiving channel 121 is through-through, the operator can access the second hinge 120 from the second hinge 120. One side of the control adjustment member 220 controls the position of the adjustment member 220 within the receiving channel 121. By controlling the adjustment member 220 to move towards the elastic damping member 230 to compress the elastic member 210, the elastic member 210 can compress the damping member 230, increasing the pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232, thereby increasing the friction between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232, and further increasing the difficulty of relative rotation between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232. Conversely, by controlling the adjustment member 220 to move away from the elastic damping member 230, the compression of the damping member 230 by the elastic member 210 is reduced. The force is adjusted to reduce the pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232, thereby reducing the friction between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 and reducing the difficulty of relative rotation between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232; the pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 can be adjusted by controlling the adjusting component 220 to control the friction between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, thereby controlling the difficulty of relative rotation between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, adjusting the magnitude of the damping force of the hinge, improving the adaptability of the hinge, and better meeting actual needs.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, according to a third aspect embodiment of the present invention, the automated device includes the hinge described in the first aspect embodiment. Through the hinge of the first aspect embodiment, an external structure can be connected to the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120 respectively. The second hinge 120 can be fixedly installed. One end of a rotating shaft 130 is connected to the first hinge 110. Rotation of the first hinge 110 can drive the rotating shaft 130 to rotate synchronously. The other end of the rotating shaft 130 passes through a receiving channel 121 and is rotatably disposed within the receiving channel 121. A first damping structure 231 is connected to the rotating shaft 130. Rotation of the rotating shaft 130 can drive the first damping structure 231 to rotate synchronously. Rotating the first hinge 110 drives the rotating shaft 130 to rotate, thereby moving the first damping structure 231. The second damping structure 232 is connected to the second hinge 120. The fixed installation of the second hinge 120 allows the second damping structure 232 to remain stationary relative to the second hinge 120. The first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 abut against each other and rotate relative to each other, generating friction between them. This increases the difficulty of the relative rotation of the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, eventually stopping the rotation of the first hinge 110. Since the receiving channel 121 is through-through, the operator can access the second hinge... One side of the chain 120 controls the adjustment member 220, which is positioned within the receiving channel 121. By controlling the adjustment member 220 to move closer to the elastic damping member 230, it compresses the elastic member 210, causing the elastic member 210 to compress the damping member 230. This increases the pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232, thereby increasing the friction between them and further increasing the difficulty of their relative rotation. Conversely, by controlling the adjustment member 220 to move away from the elastic damping member 230, the compression of the damping member 230 by the elastic member 210 is reduced. The force is reduced to 0, thereby reducing the pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232, thus reducing the friction between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 and reducing the difficulty of relative rotation between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232; the pressure between the first damping structure 231 and the second damping structure 232 can be adjusted by controlling the adjusting component 220, thereby controlling the friction between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, thereby controlling the difficulty of relative rotation between the first hinge 110 and the second hinge 120, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the damping force of the hinge, improving the adaptability of the hinge, and better meeting actual needs.

[0062] Specifically, the automated equipment includes a main body and a flap. A first hinge and a second hinge are connected to the main body and the flap, respectively. The hinge serves as the structure for connecting the main body and the flap. By controlling the damping force of the hinge, the flap can be rotated to any angle without automatically closing due to gravity, so that the flap can be stopped relative to the main body at any position.
