The utility model adopts a door pulling mechanism composed of a door pull piece, at least two tension springs, a pulley assembly, a pulley seat, and a pulley support plate. And, by providing a pulley hole with multiple-stage pause recesses on the door pull piece and matching with a reasonable pulley assembly, the oven door can also pause at multiple angles. When the oven door of this structure is opened, the pulley can only stop when it abuts against the pause recess. If the user opens the oven door to a large angle at one time during normal use, the smoothness is poor, and there is a feeling of the oven door jumping during the process; when it is necessary to stop the door during the opening process, it is necessary to find the feeling of the pulley falling into the pause recess. Otherwise, if the pulley is just located between two pause recesses, the oven door is easily closed instantly under the action of the tension spring, and, due to inertia, the pulley jumps over the pause recess at once, ultimately resulting in the oven door closing and generating an impact noise; or, the oven door instantly forms an opening action under the action of its gravity, and, under the action of gravity acceleration, the oven door overcomes the tension of the tension spring, and the pulley jumps over the pause recess at once, ultimately resulting in the oven door opening and generating a noise of hitting the table, and even easily breaking the oven glass door. Therefore, an oven hinge that can stop arbitrarily when opening is needed.

[0042] The included angle α between the two sides of the V-shaped groove 21 is 130 degrees to 140 degrees.

[0043] Its working principle is: As shown in Figure 4 , the door panel 7 is turned downward and opened along the R arrow direction. As shown in Figure 6 , when the door panel is in the closed state, the tension spring 3 is in the shortest length LO state, the slider 2 is at the lowest position, the force arm from the acting point of the tension spring on the slider 2 (i.e., at the second hanging ear 23) to the guide rivet 15 is close to the force arm from the second pin shaft 74 (support arm) to the guide rivet 15. At the same time, the door panel 7 is in a vertical state and does not generate a component force at the support arm. The tension spring keeps the door panel in the closed state.

[0044] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the door panel opens against the acting force of the tension spring. The door panel begins to generate a component force on the support arm. At the same time, the height of the outer end of the slider is raised. The lever arm length from the second pin shaft 74 to the guide rivet 15 increases, and the lever arm length from the acting point of the tension spring on the slider 2 to the guide rivet 15 shortens. However, at the same time, the tension spring is stretched to the length L1. Therefore, the acting force of the tension spring increases to balance the acting force of the door panel, enabling the door panel to maintain the opened angle.

[0045] Combined with Figure 8 As shown, continue to open the door panel. The slider continues to rise to the maximum height. The guide rivet 15 falls into the lowest position of the V-shaped groove 21, forming a turning point, which has a certain jamming effect. Moreover, the tension spring continues to be stretched to the length L2, and the acting force of the tension spring further increases to balance the acting force of the door panel, further enabling the door panel to maintain the opened angle.

[0046] Combined with Figure 9 As shown, continue to open the door panel until it is in the fully opened state. The door panel generates the maximum component force on the support arm and causes the tension spring to continue to be stretched to the length L3. The acting force of the tension spring further increases to balance the acting force of the door panel, and continues to enable the door panel to maintain the opened angle.

[0047] The above is the preferred solution of the present invention, which shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
