[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described content cannot fully list all implementation manners. The following embodiments are only a part of numerous implementation manners, rather than all embodiments. Based on the disclosed content of the present invention, all other implementation results obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment of a hinge applicable to desks and chairs

[0033] As Figure 1 and Figure 8 shown, a hinge applicable to desks and chairs includes a limit hole 1. A limit boss 2 is clamped in the limit hole 1. Two or more limit grooves 11 are externally connected to the limit hole 1. A plug 3 is slidably arranged in the middle of the limit boss 2. The plug 3 is connected to a dial plate 4 with a hand-held part 41 at the upper end. The dial plate 4 can control the sliding of the plug 3 in and out of the limit groove 11 to control the unlocking of the hinged position. When adjusting the hinge angle, the limit boss 2 rotates to a certain angle in the limit hole 1. Pull the relatively wide hand-held part 41 at the upper end of the dial plate 4 to drive the plug 3, so that the plug 3 slides into different limit grooves 11. Since part of the plug 3 is still in the middle of the limit boss 2, the limit groove 11 can limit the rotation of the limit boss 2, thereby locking the rotation angle of the hinge. The multiple limit grooves 11 externally connected to the limit hole 1 provide different gears for the plug 3 to slide into, so as to fix the hinge at different gear angles.

[0034] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the limiting hole 1 is a circular hole. The limiting boss 2 can rotate at a certain angle within the circular hole. The limiting hole 1 is also externally connected with a limiting arc 12. The upper end of the limiting boss 2 has a limiting convex neck 21, and the limiting convex neck 21 can be restricted in its movement by the limiting arc 12. The limiting arc 12 and the limiting groove 11 are externally connected to the circular hole. When the limiting hole 1 is circular, it can better fit the limiting boss 2, increasing the hinge structure strength while ensuring smooth rotation of the hinge. The circular external limiting arc 12 and limiting groove 11 of the limiting hole 1 do not affect the rotation of the limiting boss 2, and can share the force when clamping the limiting convex neck 21 and the locking pin 3, increasing the force-bearing area and further increasing the hinge strength.

[0035] The limiting arc 12 restricts the movement distance of the limiting convex neck 21, thereby restricting the maximum angle of rotation of the limiting boss 2 in the limiting hole 1. This prevents the unlocked limiting boss 2 from rotating freely by a large angle and being difficult to reset when the dial 4 pulls out the pin 3 from the limiting groove 11 during the adjustment of the hinge angle, and even causing accidents such as pinching the hand by the hinge connection structure.

[0036] As Figure 1 and Figure 8 shown, a spring 5 is also provided at the upper end of the pin 3. A first shoulder 22 is provided in the middle of the limiting boss 2, and the first shoulder 22 can limit the movement range of the pin 3. A second shoulder 23 is also provided in the middle of the limiting boss 2, and the second shoulder 23 can limit the compression of the spring 5. The spring is accommodated between the first shoulder 22 and the second shoulder 23 to ensure that the spring is not over-compressed. When adjusting the angle, the dial 4 pulls out the pin 3 from the limiting groove 11, and the pin 3 slides upward until it touches the first shoulder 22, providing a rigid touch feedback to the user to avoid excessive force by the user. When the limiting boss 2 is unlocked and starts to rotate, the pulling force on the dial 4 can be released. When it rotates to the next limiting groove 11, the elasticity of the spring 5 will automatically push the pin 3 into the limiting groove 11 to lock the hinge angle.

[0037] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8 shown, there is a notch 31 on the pin 3 and a convex block 42 on the dial 4. The convex block 42 is aligned with the notch 31 so that the dial 4 can push and pull the pin 3. The connection between the pin 3 and the dial 4 can also be set as an integral body or a fixed connection, as long as the dial 4 can drive the pin 3 to disengage from the limiting groove 11.

[0038] As Figure 3 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, one side edge of the lower end of the bolt 3 is a slope 32. One side edge of the limiting groove 11 is provided with an inclined groove 111 for guiding the movement of the slope 32, and the other side edge is provided with a straight groove 112 for restricting the continuous movement of the bolt 3. The inclined groove 111 can guide the slope 32 to slide in, and can also play a role in saving effort when the bolt 3 disengages from the limiting groove 11. Gently pulling the dial 4 to provide an initial force can make the slope 32 easily slide out of the limiting groove 11. The function of the straight groove 112 is opposite to that of the inclined groove 111, and can stop the bolt 3 from continuing to slide. The straight groove 112 has a large stress area, making the hinge stronger.

[0039] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 shown in the figure, it further includes a protective cover 6. The protective cover 6 is snap-fitted on the surface of the hinge to protect internal structures such as the spring 5 and the bolt 3, ensuring that the internal structures slide within the hinge plane and will not move outward and fall apart, further increasing the strength of the hinge. Structures such as hooks can also be provided on the protective cover 6.

[0040] Embodiment of an adjustable chair

[0041] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown in the figure, an adjustable chair includes a pair of hinges suitable for tables and chairs. A pair of limiting holes 1 and limiting bosses 2 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the backrest 71 or the seat board 72. The dial 4 can move perpendicular to the seat board 72 to unlock the hinged position. A chair leg 73 is connected below the seat board 72, and the height of the chair leg 73 can be adjusted. A flap 74 is also provided below the seat board 72. By adjusting the angle of the hinge, the backrest 71 can be adjusted to a certain inclination angle for people to lie down and rest. After the flap 74 is flipped out, it can also be pulled outwards to support the legs to help blood circulation, making lying down more comfortable and improving sleep quality. The position of the dial 4 is set so that the user can easily adjust the angle of the backrest 71 with one hand when sitting or leaning on the chair.

[0042] As Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown in the figure, C-shaped limiting rings 75 are also provided on both sides of the backrest 71 of the adjustable chair. When the hinges suitable for tables and chairs are adjusted to two maximum angles, the two ends of the C-shaped limiting rings 75 respectively abut against the upper edge and the lower edge of the seat board 72. The backrest 71 is provided with a reset mechanism for resetting the backrest 71, and the other end of the reset mechanism is connected to the seat board 72 or the chair leg 73. The C-shaped limiting rings 75 fixedly connected to both sides of the backrest 71 further increase the stress structure around the hinge, share part of the stress of the hinge, and extend the service life of the chair. The reset mechanism connecting the backrest 71 and other structures of the chair can make the backrest 71 rebound and reset, making the operation of rotating the hinge angle when the backrest 71 is reset more labor-saving.

[0043] As Figure 6 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, an adjustable table includes a pair of hinges suitable for desks and chairs, and also includes a pair of table legs 81 with adjustable height. The hinges suitable for desks and chairs hinge the tabletop 82 and the table legs 81. The dial 4 is arranged near the lower part of the tabletop 82 and can move perpendicular to the tabletop 82 to unlock the hinged position. There are a total of three inner limit slots (11) in the hinges used for the adjustable table, and the tabletop (82) can be adjusted to a horizontal direction, an obliquely upward and an obliquely downward direction deviating from the horizontal. The dial 4 is near the lower part of the tabletop 82, which is convenient for pulling to adjust the hinge so that the tabletop tilts at a certain angle. The bolt 3 locks different limit slots 11, and the tabletop 82 can be adjusted to a drawing board mode obliquely downward, or the tabletop 82 can be adjusted obliquely upward to make space. When paired with the adjustable chair in the present utility model as a student lunch break desk and chair, it can save space while ensuring the comfort of students during lunch breaks.

[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
