[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 The utility model provides a hinge with a locking function, comprising a first fixing frame 1, a second fixing frame 2, a first support arm 3 and a second support arm 4; wherein the first fixing frame 1 is stationary, one end of the first support arm 3 and one end of the second support arm 4 are both hinged to the first fixing frame 1, the other end of the first support arm 3 and the other end of the second support arm 4 are both hinged to the second fixing frame 2, and the hinge points are respectively a first hinge point 5 and a second hinge point 6; it also includes a card 7 with a locking function, the card 7 is hinged to the second fixing frame 2, and the hinge position is a third hinge point 8; the second support arm 4 is provided with a clamping groove or a convex point 9, and the card 7 is provided with an adapting structure 10 for clamping the groove or the convex point 9.

[0023] In some embodiments, an elastic member 11 is further included, one end of the elastic member 11 is fixed to a first fixed point 12 on the second fixing frame 2, and the other end of the elastic member 11 is fixed to a second fixed point 13 on the card 7, and the distance between the second fixed point 13 and the third hinge point 8 is greater than zero.

[0024] A preferred embodiment also includes that the first hinge point 5 and the second hinge point 6 are both higher in height than the third hinge point 8 and the first fixed point 12, and the first fixed point 12 is higher in height than the third hinge point 8; and when the elastic member 11 pulls the second fixed point 13 to be on the same straight line as the first fixed point 12 and the third hinge point 8, the inclination direction of the adaptation structure 10 is toward the position of the protrusion 9 of the second support arm 4.

[0025] See also Figure 3 Under the pulling force of the elastic member 11, due to the distance between the second fixed point 13 and the third hinge point 8, the card 7 can rotate around the third hinge point 8 toward the first fixed point 12, and then when the inspection port cover 17 is opened, the card 7 can return to its original position by itself under the action of the elastic force. When the airflow blows the cover 17, the adapter structure 10 of the card 7 can abut against the protrusion 9 to prevent the cover 17 from being snapped closed by being instantly blown by a large airflow, thereby avoiding unnecessary injuries and / or damage to the inspection port equipment.

[0026] In the hinge with locking function of the utility model, the first fixing frame 1, the second fixing frame 2, the first support arm 3 and the second support arm 4 constitute a hinge four-bar mechanism, and the first fixing frame 1 is a stationary frame. The hinge four-bar mechanism can effectively flip the cover plate 17 hingedly connected to the second fixing frame 2 out of the inspection port completely without obstruction. The arrangement of the card 7 structure can effectively prevent the cover plate 17 from being instantly blown by a large airflow and buckled, avoiding unnecessary injuries and / or damage to the inspection port equipment.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first hinge point 5, the second hinge point 6, and the third hinge point 8 are arranged in sequence from left to right, wherein the distance between the first hinge point 5 and the second hinge point 6 is S1, and the distance between the second hinge point 6 and the third hinge point 8 is S2, S2>S1; and the distance from the end of the card 7 to the third hinge point 8 is less than S2, so as to ensure that the card 7 can effectively return to its position under the pulling force of the elastic member 11.

[0028] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the second arm 4 has an arc-shaped curved portion near the second hinge point 6, one side of the arc-shaped curved portion has a concave arc-shaped curved portion concave side 14, and the other side is convex; the arc-shaped curved portion concave side 14 can accommodate the first arm 3 near the first hinge point 5. The opening angle of the cover plate 17 is further guaranteed.

[0029] In some embodiments, the card 7 includes an adapting structure 10 for engaging with the groove or protrusion 9, and also includes a moving structure 15 for resetting.

[0030] In some embodiments, the adapting structure 10 for engaging the groove or the convex point 9 forms an angle greater than zero with the moving structure 15. Specifically, the line between the point where the adapting structure 10 abuts against the convex point 9 and the third hinge point 8 is the first line, and the line between any point of the moving part of the moving structure 15 and the third hinge point 8 is the second line, and the angle between the first line and the second line is greater than zero.

[0031] After the card 7 is snapped onto the protrusion 9 on the second arm 4, the cover 17 cannot be closed automatically even if it is subjected to strong wind force or other external force, thereby protecting the maintenance personnel from being pinched; when closing the cover 17, the moving structure 15 can be manually rotated to rotate the adapter structure 10 to a position above the protrusion 9 of the second arm 4, and the stuck state is released. When the cover 17 continues to be closed, the convex side of the arc-shaped curved portion of the second arm 4 resists the action of the adapter structure 10, driving the adapter structure 10 to tighten the elastic member 11, and the elastic member 11 can also play a good elastic role in returning to its original position when waiting to be opened.

[0032] See also Figure 2 The utility model also provides an inspection port including the above-mentioned hinge with a locking function, and the inspection port also includes a keel frame 16 and a cover plate 17. The keel frame 16 is fixedly connected to the first fixing frame 1, and the back plate or keel of the cover plate 17 is fixedly connected to the second fixing frame 2.

[0033] In some embodiments, the keel frame 16 is a secondary keel in the ceiling keel system, forming an enclosure structure to protect the inspection opening. If the surface material of the ceiling is a loose material such as gypsum board, corner guards can also be installed to protect the edge of the inspection opening from damage due to repeated opening and closing.

[0034] In some embodiments, in addition to the cuttable backboard, the cover plate 17 can also be installed with the secondary keel in the ceiling keel system as a supporting structure. Like the keel frame 16, it is also an enclosed structure, and its shape is consistent with the shape of the inspection opening. If the surface material of the ceiling is a loose material such as gypsum board, a corner guard can be installed to protect the edge of the inspection opening from damage due to repeated opening and closing. This type of inspection opening that is consistent with the ceiling material and ceiling keel is easier to make. During the construction of the ceiling, the excess scraps can meet the requirements of making the inspection opening, which is more in line with the requirements of uniformity and beauty, and is more cost-effective.

[0035] In some embodiments, the inspection opening further comprises an elephant trunk hook lock 18, and the cover plate 17 and the keel frame 16 are detachably connected by the elephant trunk hook lock 18. The elephant trunk hook lock 18 is fixedly connected to the keel frame 16.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
