Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hinge technology, and in particular relates to a novel hinge. Background Technology

[0002] As a key device for promoting plant growth, the structural design and performance optimization of plant lights are crucial for improving plant growth efficiency and quality. Plant lights typically consist of a light source assembly, a heat dissipation system, and a frame support. The frame support is used to fix and support the light source assembly, ensuring uniform light distribution to the plants at different angles. However, traditional frame support connections often use simple hinges or bolts. These connections often lack sufficient damping when adjusting the plant light angle, leading to instability and wobbling during adjustment, affecting the accuracy and uniformity of light distribution. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of hinge, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a novel hinge for connecting two side frames. It includes a female hinge, a first male hinge, a second male hinge, and several evenly arranged hook-shaped springs. One end of the female hinge is provided with a bushing, and the bushing has a vertically penetrating connecting groove. A connecting shaft is provided within the connecting groove. The first male hinge enters from one end of the connecting groove and connects to the end of the connecting shaft. The second male hinge enters from the other end of the connecting groove and connects to the end of the connecting shaft, forming rotatable first and second male hinges. Parallel slots extend from the connecting groove. The head end of each hook-shaped spring is limited within a slot, and its end is detachably connected to the connecting shaft, pressing the connecting shaft tightly against the inner circumferential surface of the hook-shaped spring. The outer circumferential surface of the hook-shaped spring is pressed against the inner wall of the connecting groove.

[0005] Furthermore, the number of hook springs is 4 sets.

[0006] Furthermore, the radial length of the slot is less than that of the connecting groove, and the axial length of the slot is shorter than that of the connecting groove.

[0007] Furthermore, an inwardly protruding first protrusion and a second protrusion are respectively provided between the card slot and the connecting slot.

[0008] Furthermore, a pin is provided in the slot, which cooperates with the slot to lock the head end of the hook spring in the slot.

[0009] Furthermore, hollow collars are provided at the upper and lower opening ends of the bushing, and the connecting shaft passes through the two collars in sequence, so that the two collars are respectively limited between the slot and the first hinge component, and between the slot and the second hinge component.

[0010] Furthermore, the first hinge component has a recessed portion on its side end near the second hinge component, and the second hinge component has a corresponding protrusion on its side end. The protrusion is confined within the recessed portion, allowing the two hinge components to engage with each other.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the female hinge component is provided with several mounting holes, and the first male hinge component and the second male hinge component are also provided with several identical mounting holes.

[0012] The novel hinge provided in this embodiment of the present invention has at least one of the following technical effects:

[0013] In this design, the female hinge is fixed to one side frame of the plant light. The male first and male second hinges are inserted from both ends of the connecting slot and connected to the connecting shaft. The head of the hook spring is limited in the slot, and the tail is fixed to the connecting shaft through a suitable connection method. The contact friction between the connecting shaft and the inner circumference of the hook spring provides a damping effect. Adjusting the number of hook springs creates different tensions to achieve the desired damping effect. The compression of the connecting shaft by the hook springs effectively reduces the swaying of the light holder when adjusting the angle, improving the overall stability of the plant light system. Furthermore, the damping design provides a certain resistance to the rotation of the frame while allowing easy adjustment to the desired angle, facilitating precise control by the user according to the plant's growth needs.

The following description is based on the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-3 The described embodiments are exemplary and intended to explain embodiments of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, a novel hinge is provided for connecting two side frames. It includes a hinge mother 100, a first hinge male 110, a second hinge male 120, and a plurality of evenly arranged hook springs 130. One end of the hinge mother 100 is provided with a bushing 140, and the bushing 140 is provided with a vertically penetrating connecting groove 150. A connecting shaft 160 is provided in the connecting groove 150. The first hinge male 110 enters from one end of the connecting groove 150 and connects to the end of the connecting shaft 160. The second hinge male 120 enters from the other end of the connecting groove 150 and connects to the end of the connecting shaft 160, forming a rotatable first hinge male 110 and second hinge male 120. The connecting groove 150 extends into parallel slots 170. The head end of the hook spring 130 is limited in the slot 170, and the end is detachably connected to the connecting shaft 160, pressing the connecting shaft 160 tightly against the inner circumferential surface of the hook spring 130, while the outer circumferential surface of the hook spring 130 is pressed against the inner sidewall of the connecting groove 150.

[0025] Specifically, the female hinge 100 is fixed to one side frame of the plant light. The male hinge 110 and the male hinge 120 are inserted from both ends of the connecting groove 150 and fixed to the connecting shaft 160 by means of grooves, welding, glue, etc. The first end of the hook spring 130 is limited in the slot 170, and the end is fixed to the connecting shaft 160 by a suitable connection method. The hook spring 130 is close to the inner wall of the connecting groove 150 and limited therein. The contact friction between the connecting shaft 160 and the inner circumferential surface of the hook spring 130 provides a damping effect. Adjusting the number of hook springs 130 creates different tensions to achieve the ideal damping effect. The compression of the connecting shaft 160 by the hook spring 130 effectively reduces the shaking of the lamp holder when adjusting the angle, improving the overall stability of the plant light system. Moreover, the damping design makes the rotation of the frame both have a certain resistance and can be easily adjusted to the required angle, allowing users to make precise adjustments according to the plant's growth needs.

[0026] Furthermore, the number of hook springs 130 is 4 sets. Specifically, the number of hook springs 130 can be 2 sets, 4 sets, or 8 sets, but the damping effect is best when the number of hook springs 130 is 4 sets.

[0027] Furthermore, a pin 180 is provided within the slot 170, which engages with the slot 170 to secure the head end of the hook spring 130 within the slot 170. The radial length of the slot 170 is less than that of the connecting groove 150, and the axial length of the slot 170 is also shorter than that of the connecting groove 150. Specifically, when the hook spring 130 is installed in the slot 170, its head end naturally bends around the pin 180 and engages, forming a secure connection point so that the connecting shaft 160 will not move the hook spring 130 regardless of its rotation. The radial length of the slot 170 (i.e., the width of the slot 170, perpendicular to the connecting shaft 160) is less than that of the connecting groove 150, which means that the slot 170 occupies a more compact space within the hinge nut 100, helping to reduce material usage and improve the compactness of the hook spring 130 connection.

[0028] Furthermore, a first protrusion 190 and a second protrusion 200 are respectively provided between the slot 170 and the connecting groove 150. These protrusions effectively prevent the hook spring 130 or the pin 180 from accidentally coming out of the slot 170 or the connecting groove 150, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the entire connection device.

[0029] Furthermore, hollow collars 210 are provided at the upper and lower open ends of the bushing 140. The connecting shaft 160 passes through the two collars 210 in sequence, so that the two collars 210 are respectively limited between the slot 170 and the first hinge male 110, and between the slot 170 and the second hinge male 120. Specifically, the bushing 140 is an intermediate component that is sleeved on the connecting shaft 160 to support and fix the connecting shaft 160. The upper and lower open ends of the bushing 140 are designed with hollow collars 210. These collars 210 can be integrally formed with the bushing 140, or they can be fixed to the bushing 140 by some method such as welding, glue fixing, or threaded connection, which improves the overall strength of the structure.

[0030] Furthermore, the first hinge member 110 has a recess 220 on its side end near the second hinge member 120, and the second hinge member 120 has a corresponding protrusion 230 on its side end. The protrusion 230 is confined within the recess 220, allowing the two hinge members to engage with each other. Specifically, the recess and protrusion 230 provide a basis for the synchronous rotation of the two hinge members, and installation is very convenient. The two hinge members can be connected simply by bringing them close together and pushing them into place, without any additional fixing or adjustment steps.

[0031] Furthermore, one end of the hinge female component 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 240, and the first hinge male component 110 and the second hinge male component 120 are also provided with a plurality of identical mounting holes 240. The mounting holes 240 are used to connect with the frame on both sides of the hinge, and bolts or screws can be inserted into the mounting holes 240 to form a fixation.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
