[0001] The utility model relates to the field of door opening and closing hinges, in particular to a manual and automatic integrated door opening and closing motor hinge. Background Art

[0002] A hinge is a tool that can complete the connection between two components. After the two components are connected by the hinge, they can rotate and open and close, so as to achieve the purpose of opening and closing. The fields where hinges are applied are very extensive, such as doors, windows, furniture, household appliances and other fields are often used. With the rapid development of society, in addition to basic electrical appliances such as rice cookers and induction cookers, high-quality household appliances such as microwave ovens and ovens have also entered families. Household appliances such as microwave ovens and ovens rely on hinges to complete the connection between the box body and the box door.

[0032] The following describes the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the present utility model provides a manual-automatic integrated door-opening motor hinge, including a housing 1, a hinge arm 2 hinged to one end of the housing 1, and a connecting seat 3, a linkage arm 4, and a motor rotating arm 5 disposed inside the housing 1. The hinge arm 2, the connecting seat 3, the linkage arm 4, and the motor rotating arm 5 are connected in sequence, and the motor rotating arm 5 is driven by a driving motor 12.

[0034] Refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the hinge arm 2 is installed on the outer door body, and the housing 1 is fixed inside the machine body (such as an oven body, a microwave oven body, etc.). A part of the hinge arm 2 is located outside the housing 1, and a locking tongue 201 is provided at one end of the hinge arm 2 located inside the housing 1. The locking tongue 201 is hinged to the end of the housing 1 through a third pin shaft 15, and a movable locking pin 6 that can cooperate with the locking tongue 201 for locking is slidably installed on the housing 1. When the door body is closed, the locking tongue 201 abuts against the movable locking pin 6, thereby locking the hinge arm 2 to keep the door body in the closed state. The motor rotating arm 5 is rotatably installed inside the housing 1. One end of the linkage arm 4 is hinged to the motor rotating arm 5, and the other end of the linkage arm 4 is located inside the connecting seat 3 and is provided with a first waist-shaped slot 401. One end of the connecting seat 3 is hinged to the locking tongue 201, and the other end is connected to the first waist-shaped slot 401 through a first pin shaft 7; a first pin shaft 7 is installed at one end of the connecting seat 3 close to the linkage arm 4, and the first pin shaft 7 is located inside the first waist-shaped slot 401. In the closed state of the door body, the first pin shaft 7 is located at the right end of the first waist-shaped slot 401. With this structure, the setting of the first waist-shaped slot 401 enables the connecting seat 3 to have a certain movement space; when the door body is opened outward, the hinge arm 2 drives the connecting seat 3 to move, and the linkage arm 4 does not interfere with the movement of the connecting seat 3, making the manual door opening smooth.

[0035] Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , when manually opening the door, manually open the door body outward, the door body drives the hinge arm 2 to rotate outward, the hinge arm 2 drives the connecting seat 3 to move, the connecting seat 3 drives the first pin shaft 7 to move, and the first pin shaft 7 moves from the right end of the first waist-shaped slot 401 to its left end; at the same time, the locking tongue 201 presses the movable locking pin 6 to retract it, and the movable locking pin 6 disengages from the locking tongue 201.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figures 4 to 6As shown, a second waist-shaped slot 101 for the movable locking pin 6 to move is provided on the housing 1, and the movable locking pin 6 is placed in the second waist-shaped slot 101. A roller 601 is installed on the movable locking pin 6, and the roller 601 can be in rolling contact with the locking tongue 201. With this structure, the setting of the roller 601 can reduce friction, making it easier to open and close the door, and also extending the service life; the setting of the second waist-shaped slot 101 allows the movable locking pin 6 to have a certain movement space, facilitating automatic unlocking when opening the door and automatic locking when closing the door.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a spring 8 is installed inside the housing 1, and the spring 8 always makes the movable locking pin 6 tend to move towards the locking tongue 201. A spring bracket 9 is slidably installed inside the housing 1. One end of the spring bracket 9 is inserted into the housing 1, and the other end is provided with a U-shaped slot 901 that can be inserted into the movable locking pin 6; the spring 8 is sleeved on the spring bracket 9 and abuts between the housing 1 and the spring bracket 9.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, a third waist-shaped slot 102 for the first pin shaft 7 to move is provided on the housing 1, and the end of the first pin shaft 7 is placed in the third waist-shaped slot 102. A pull plate 10 is symmetrically arranged inside the housing 1, and the setting of the pull plate 10 can enhance the strength of the connecting seat 3, making the structure more stable. One end of the pull plate 10 is installed on the first pin shaft 7, and the other end is installed with a second pin shaft 11. A fourth waist-shaped slot 103 for the second pin shaft 11 to move is provided on the housing 1, and the second pin shaft 11 is placed in the fourth waist-shaped slot 103.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a driving motor 12 is installed on the outer side of the housing 1, and the motor swing arm 5 is drivingly connected to the driving motor 12. An outer cover 13 is installed on the outer side of the housing 1, and a gear reduction box 14 is installed on the outer cover 13. The driving motor 12 is connected to the gear reduction box 14; the driving shaft 141 of the gear reduction box 14 passes through the outer cover 13 and the housing 1 and then is connected to the motor swing arm 5.

[0040] Refer to Figure 5, when the door is opened automatically, the driving motor 12 rotates, and the driving motor 12 drives the motor swing arm 5 to rotate clockwise (at this time, the first pin shaft 7 is placed at the right end of the first waist-shaped groove 401). The motor swing arm 5 drives the linkage arm 4 to move. The linkage arm 4 pushes the connecting seat 3 to move outward through the first pin shaft 7, so that the hinge arm 2 rotates outward to open, and the lock tongue 201 disengages from the movable lock pin 6, and the door body opens. When the door is closed automatically, the driving motor 12 rotates in the reverse direction. The driving motor 12 drives the motor swing arm 5 to rotate counterclockwise (at this time, the first pin shaft 7 is placed at the right end of the first waist-shaped groove 401). The motor swing arm 5 drives the linkage arm 4 to move so that the first pin shaft 7 is placed at the left end of the first waist-shaped groove 401. At this time, the linkage arm 4 can drive the connecting seat 3 to move inward through the first pin shaft 7. The connecting seat 3 drives the hinge arm 2 to rotate inward to close, and the lock tongue 201 is clamped with the movable lock pin 6, and the door body closes. After the door body is closed, in order to ensure that the door body can be manually opened next time, the driving motor 12 needs to drive the linkage arm 4 to reset, so that the first pin shaft 7 is placed at the right end of the first waist-shaped groove 401 again. This structure can perform manual and automatic door opening, and is convenient to use.

[0041] In this specification, for the same and similar parts between various embodiments, reference can be made to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0042] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered by the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
