Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hinge technology, specifically a heavy-duty hinge with remote locking function. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the field of cultural relic preservation and display, traditional display case locking methods mainly rely on mechanical locks, such as key-operated padlocks and lever locks. These locks achieve locking and unlocking of the cabinet doors by matching a physical key with the lock body. Mechanical locks have been widely used in the past due to their simple structure, ease of use, and low cost. Meanwhile, to enhance the security of display cases, some also employ multiple locking mechanisms, such as installing multiple locks simultaneously or using more complex lock cylinder structures.
[0003] However, traditional mechanical locks also have some obvious drawbacks when used in display cases for cultural relics:
[0004] 1. Mechanical locks require physical keys to open, and key management is often cumbersome. If a key is lost or stolen, it will directly threaten the safety of the artifacts inside the display case.
[0005] 2. Although mechanical locks can improve security by increasing the complexity of the lock cylinder, their protective capabilities are still limited compared to modern electronic locks. Intruders can illegally enter the display case through forced entry, lock picking, or other means.
[0006] 3. Mechanical locks are usually installed directly on the display case, and their appearance and color may not match the overall style of the display case, thus affecting the aesthetics of the display space.
[0007] 4. In situations requiring frequent opening or in emergencies, mechanical locks may be relatively cumbersome to operate and not as convenient as electronic locks.
[0008] To address the problems raised in the background art, those skilled in the art have proposed a heavy-duty hinge with remote locking functionality. Utility Model Content
[0009] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a heavy-duty hinge with a remote locking function. This solution provides a stable 220V voltage via a power cord, which is then stepped down to a safe 12V by a high-efficiency 12V / 24A power converter to power the signal receiver. The signal receiver, as the core component of the entire system, is responsible for receiving control signals from the remote control and, based on the signal commands, driving the remote-controlled electromagnetic lock to perform opening or closing actions.
[0010] A heavy-duty hinge with remote locking function includes a power converter. Both the output and input ends of the power converter are equipped with power cords. The power converter is electrically connected to a signal receiver via the power cords. The signal receiver is installed with a remote-controlled electromagnetic lock via the power cords. A hinge fixing body is installed at the bottom of the remote-controlled electromagnetic lock. An eccentric short rotating rod is rotatably connected to the top of the hinge fixing body. A hinge opening / closing body is rotatably connected to the end of the eccentric short rotating rod away from the hinge fixing body. A lock hole plate is fixedly connected to the outermost end of the hinge opening / closing body. An eccentric long rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the hinge opening / closing body.
[0011] Preferably, the output and input terminals of the signal receiver are also equipped with power cables.
[0012] Preferably, the eccentric long rotating rod is also rotatably connected to the top of the hinge fixing body, the eccentric short rotating rod and the eccentric long rotating rod can rotate to the inside of the hinge fixing body, and the hinge opening and closing body and the hinge fixing body can be closed and connected together.
[0013] Preferably, the remote-controlled electromagnetic lock has a remote function, is connected to a remote control for control, and is connected to a lock hole plate for locking the lock hole plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. Enhanced security: The remote-controlled electromagnetic lock uses electronic control technology, avoiding the risk of loss or theft of physical keys, greatly improving the security of the display cabinet. The tight cooperation between the electromagnetic lock and the keyhole plate makes it difficult to illegally open the cabinet door when it is locked, effectively preventing vandalism.
[0016] 2. Enhanced Convenience: Users can remotely control the signal receiver and thus the switch status of the electromagnetic lock using a remote control without directly touching the display case. The hinge switch design allows the electromagnetic lock's mechanism to be triggered when the hinge is pulled, further enhancing ease of use.
[0017] 3. Enhanced Aesthetics: The remote-controlled electromagnetic lock is hidden inside or on the edge of the display case, without compromising the overall appearance of the display case, maintaining the aesthetics of the display space, and avoiding the disharmony that may result from directly installing traditional mechanical locks on the display case.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0022] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 As shown:
[0023] Example 1: This utility model provides a heavy-duty hinge with remote locking function, including a power converter 1. Both the output and input ends of the power converter 1 are equipped with power cords 2. The power converter 1 is electrically connected to a signal receiver 3 via the power cords 2. The signal receiver 3 is installed to a remote-controlled electromagnetic lock 4 via the power cords 2. A hinge fixing body 5 is installed at the bottom of the remote-controlled electromagnetic lock 4. An eccentric short rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the hinge fixing body 5. A hinge opening / closing body 8 is rotatably connected to the end of the eccentric short rotating rod 7 away from the hinge fixing body 5. The outermost end of the hinge body 8 is fixedly connected to a lock hole plate 9. The bottom end of the hinge body 8 is rotatably connected to an eccentric long rotating rod 6. The output and input ends of the signal receiver 3 are also equipped with power lines 2. The eccentric long rotating rod 6 is also rotatably connected to the top of the hinge fixing body 5. The eccentric short rotating rod 7 and the eccentric long rotating rod 6 can rotate to the inside of the hinge fixing body 5. The hinge body 8 and the hinge fixing body 5 can be closed and connected together. The remote control electromagnetic lock 4 has a remote function and is connected to a remote control to control the switch. The remote control electromagnetic lock 4 is connected to the lock hole plate 9 for locking the lock hole plate 9.
[0024] Specifically, the receiver of the remote control electromagnetic lock 4 is responsible for receiving radio signals from the remote control. After receiving the signal, the receiver decodes it to confirm that the signal comes from a legitimate remote control or mobile app and contains the correct unlocking command. Only after confirming the legitimacy and correctness of the signal will the receiver continue to execute the subsequent unlocking operation. Once the receiver confirms the legitimacy of the unlocking command, it sends an unlocking signal to the electromagnetic lock. The electromagnetic lock works on the principle of electromagnetism. When current passes through the silicon steel sheet, it generates a strong attraction force that tightly holds the metal plate, thus achieving the locking effect. When the electromagnetic lock receives the unlocking signal, it cuts off the current, causing the electromagnetic lock to lose its attraction force, thereby releasing the lock body and opening the door.
[0025] Working principle: The device is connected to 220V AC power via power line 2, providing basic power for the entire system. Power converter 1 converts the 220V AC power to 12V DC power for use by signal receiver 3 and remote control electromagnetic lock 4, ensuring the safety and stability of system operation. Users send unlock or lock commands via remote control. These commands are transmitted in the form of radio signals, carrying specific encoded information to ensure that only a legitimate remote control can send valid commands. After receiving the radio signals from the remote control, signal receiver 3 decodes them. The decoding process verifies the legality of the signal and the correctness of the command, ensuring that only a legitimate remote control can send valid commands. Only authorized commands can be executed. Once the signal receiver 3 confirms that the command is legal and correct, it will send a control signal to the remote control electromagnetic lock 4. The remote control electromagnetic lock 4, based on the received control signal, uses the principle of electromagnetism to open or close the lock body. When current passes through the coil of the electromagnetic lock, a strong magnetic force is generated, attracting the lock hole plate 9 to lock the cabinet door. When the current is disconnected, the magnetic force disappears, the lock hole plate 9 is released, and the cabinet door is unlocked. In some cases, the user may trigger the opening mechanism of the electromagnetic lock by pulling the hinge switch. The hinge switch is connected to the electromagnetic lock. When the hinge is pulled, it will trigger the opening of the electromagnetic lock, thus making it convenient for the user to open the cabinet door.
