Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hinges in sliding doors, and more specifically, it relates to a hinge device in a sliding door and its processing technology. Background Art

[0002] A car door hinge is a component connecting the car door and the vehicle body. On the one hand, the car door hinge bears the weight of the car door, and on the other hand, the car door hinge serves as a hub for opening or closing the car door. Since a sliding door can reduce the space in the width direction of the vehicle body when opened, it is widely used in models such as small passenger cars and mini cargo vans. Generally, the car door and the vehicle body are connected by three hinges, namely upper, middle, and lower hinges. Among them, the middle hinge of the sliding door is a component that cooperates with the middle guide rail of the vehicle body. On the one hand, the middle hinge of the sliding door bears the weight of the sliding door, and on the other hand, the middle hinge of the sliding door serves as a hub for opening or closing the sliding door.

Its surface is connected to the vehicle body by three M8 bolts, and an M6 adjusting bolt and an adjusting bolt sheath (PA66) are installed on it;

[0010] Step S2: Processing of the middle hinge swing arm: The material of the middle hinge swing arm is selected as QSTE420TM, the surface treatment method is black electrophoresis, and it is made by forging process. The middle hinge swing arm is connected to the middle hinge mounting seat by a riveting shaft process. The material of the middle hinge shaft is ML40CR, the middle hinge torsion spring is made of spring stainless steel wire, the self-lubricating bushing is a copper-backed bushing, and the middle hinge shaft sheath is PA66;

[0011] Step S3: Processing of the middle hinge load-bearing bracket: The material of the middle hinge load-bearing bracket is selected as QSTE420TM, the surface treatment method is black electrophoresis, and it is made by stamping process. It is connected to the middle hinge swing arm by three M8 bolts;

[0012] Step S4: Processing of the middle hinge connecting bracket: The material of the middle hinge connecting bracket is selected as SAPH440, the surface treatment method is black electrophoresis, and it is made by stamping process. It is riveted to the middle hinge load-bearing bracket through a roller; Step S5: Installation: Install the middle hinge mounting seat, the middle hinge swing arm, the middle hinge load-bearing bracket and the middle hinge connecting bracket precisely according to the above steps, and then use three M8 bolts and three threaded holes arranged on the mounting seat to tighten them on the sliding door with a force of 33 ± 3 Nm. Check that there are no defects on the surface that affect installation, function and aesthetics. After the inspection is completed, install the middle hinge on the rigid mechanism and determine the movement trajectory of the sliding door. Hang the end of the wire rope on the middle hinge connecting bracket. After the installation is completed, pull the sliding door to check the smoothness of the sliding door. After the debugging is completed, open and close the electric sliding door switch, and the electric sliding door hinge can work normally
