The two sides of the inner wall of the lower bracket 1 are interference-fitted with the surfaces of one end of two mounting shafts 2. The surfaces of the other end of the two mounting shafts 2 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the upper bracket 4 through an adjusting component 3.

[0026] Please see Figure 3The adjustment component 3 includes two sets of POM wear-resistant plates 31 installed on the other end surfaces of the two mounting shafts 2. The two sets of POM wear-resistant plates 31 are in clearance fit with the two ends of the upper bracket 4. The other side of the POM wear-resistant plate 31 abuts against the side of the lower bracket 1. The other side of the lower bracket 1 abuts against two corrugated washers 32 sleeved on the surface of the mounting shaft 2. The other side of the two corrugated washers 32 abuts against one end of the self-locking nut 33. The inner wall of the self-locking nut 33 is threadedly connected to the end face of the mounting shaft 2.

[0027] In practical use: Adjust the position of the two self-locking nuts 33 on the adjustment part 22 on the surface of the two mounting shafts 2. The two self-locking nuts 33 lock the two sets of wave washers 32 at the threaded groove position of the two adjustment parts 22. At the same time, the two sets of POM wear-resistant plates 31 at the other end of the two mounting shafts 2 engage with the two ends of the upper bracket 4 with a gap, so that the connection part 21 between the upper bracket 4 and the surface of the two mounting shafts 2 can rotate relative to each other. The design of the two sets of wave washers 32 can increase the force-bearing area of ​​the self-locking nuts 33, thereby controlling the clamping force of the two sets of POM wear-resistant plates 31, and then controlling the torque of the rotation of the upper bracket 4, ultimately realizing the hovering function.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 The surface of the mounting shaft 2 is divided into a connecting part 21 and an adjusting part 22. The connecting part 21 has flat grooves on both sides, and the adjusting part 22 has threaded grooves on its surface.

[0029] In practical use: the flat grooves on both sides of the connecting part 21 on the surface of the mounting shaft 2 facilitate the normal installation of the upper bracket 4, and the threaded groove on the adjusting part 22 on the surface of the mounting shaft 2 facilitates the adjustment of the structural torque by the self-locking nut 33.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 The upper bracket 4 has two rotating holes 41 on both sides of its inner wall. The inner walls of the two rotating holes 41 rotate relative to the two connecting parts 21 on the surfaces of the two mounting shafts 2.

[0033] In practical use: the inner walls of the two rotating holes 41 are rotatably connected to the two connecting parts 21 on the surfaces of the two mounting shafts 2, so as to facilitate the relative rotation between the upper bracket 4 and the mounting shaft 2.

[0034] Please see Figure 2Limiting protrusions 12 are provided on both sides of the lower bracket 1, and the end faces of the two limiting protrusions 12 are engaged with the inner wall of the upper bracket 4.

[0035] In practical use: The connection design between the two self-locking nuts 33 and the two mounting shafts 2 facilitates the installation and replacement of the POM wear-resistant sheet 31 and the wave washer 32, so as to ensure that the torque does not change too much when the upper bracket 4 rotates. At the same time, in conjunction with the two limiting protrusions 12 on the structure of the lower bracket 1, the rotation angle range of the upper bracket 4 can be controlled, which plays a limiting role.

[0036] Please see Figure 3 The inner walls of the two sets of POM wear-resistant plates 31 rotate and engage with the surfaces of the two connecting parts 21.

[0037] In practical use: the inner walls of the two sets of POM wear-resistant plates 31 rotate and engage with the surfaces of the two connecting parts 21, which facilitates the clamping of the upper bracket 4 with the mounting shaft 2.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 The inner walls of the two sets of wave washers 32 interlock with the threaded grooves on the surfaces of the two adjustment parts 22.

[0039] In practical use: the inner walls of the two sets of wave washers 32 interlock with the threaded grooves on the surfaces of the two adjustment parts 22, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the torque of the hinge structure by cooperating with the two self-locking nuts 33.

[0040] In use, adjust the position of the two self-locking nuts 33 on the adjustment part 22 on the surface of the two mounting shafts 2. The two self-locking nuts 33 lock the two sets of wave washers 32 at the thread groove position of the two adjustment parts 22. At the same time, the two sets of POM wear-resistant plates 31 at the other end of the two mounting shafts 2 gap engage with the two ends of the upper bracket 4, so that the connection part 21 between the upper bracket 4 and the surface of the two mounting shafts 2 can rotate relative to each other. The design of the two sets of wave washers 32 can increase the force-bearing area of ​​the self-locking nuts 33, thereby controlling the clamping force of the two sets of POM wear-resistant plates 31, and then controlling the torque of the rotation of the upper bracket 4, ultimately realizing the hovering function.

[0041] The connection design of the two self-locking nuts 33 and the two mounting shafts 2 facilitates the installation and replacement of the POM wear-resistant sheet 31 and the wave washer 32, so as to ensure that the torque does not change too much when the upper bracket 4 rotates. At the same time, in conjunction with the two limiting protrusions 12 on the structure of the lower bracket 1, the rotation angle range of the upper bracket 4 can be controlled, thus playing a limiting role.
