[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic closing hinge device, comprising a first frame 1, a second frame 2 rotatably disposed on the first frame 1, a shaft 3 disposed between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, a first engaging member 4 disposed on the first frame 1, and a second engaging member 5 disposed on the second frame 2. The first engaging member 4 is provided with a groove 41, and the second engaging member 5 is provided with a protrusion 51. The protrusion 51 protrudes into the groove 41 so that the second frame 2 is engaged and fixed to the first frame 1.

[0030] In use, the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 are respectively connected to external working parts. The shaft 3 is located between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2. The first engaging member 4 is located at the top of the first frame 1, and the second engaging member 5 is located at the bottom of the second frame 2. When the external working part drives the second frame 2 to rotate around the shaft 3, the second engaging member 5 protrudes into the groove 41 through the protrusion 51, causing the protrusion 51 and the groove 41 to engage with each other. This automatically closes the second frame 2 at a specific angle to the first frame 1. Subsequently, only a slight force needs to be applied to the second frame 2 to cause it to rotate relative to the first frame 1, allowing the protrusion 51 to completely disengage from the groove 41, thus realizing the rotational change of the second frame 2 relative to the first frame 1. This utility model has a compact structure and reasonable design. Through the cooperation of the protrusion 51 and the groove 41, the hinge rotates to a specific angle and automatically closes, with a large contact area and is not easily worn.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first engaging member 4 is provided with a sliding groove 42, and multiple sliding grooves 42 and multiple grooves 41 are provided. The multiple sliding grooves 42 and multiple grooves 41 are arranged alternately around the central axis of the first engaging member 4. The first engaging member 4 is provided with a first engaging foot 43, and multiple first engaging feet 43 are provided. The multiple first engaging feet 43 are arranged around the circumference of the first engaging member 4. The first frame 1 is provided with a first engaging groove 11, and the first engaging feet 43 are accommodated in the first engaging groove 11. Specifically, preferably, four sliding grooves 42 and four recesses 41 are provided. The four sliding grooves 42 and four recesses 41 are staggered around the first engaging member 4, so that the protrusion 51 slides freely under the guidance of the sliding grooves 42 until the protrusion 51 engages with the recesses 41 to fix the position between the second engaging member 5 and the first engaging member 4. Preferably, four first engaging feet 43 and four first engaging slots 11 are provided. The four first engaging feet 43 are arranged around the circumference of the first engaging member 4, and the four first engaging slots 11 are arranged around the circumference of the first frame 1, so that the four first engaging feet 43 can be respectively engaged in the four first engaging slots 11, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the first engaging member 4 on the first frame 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the second engaging member 5 is provided with a second engaging foot 52. Multiple second engaging feet 52 are provided, arranged circumferentially around the second engaging member 5. The second frame 2 is provided with a second engaging groove 21, in which the second engaging feet 52 are accommodated. Specifically, preferably, four second engaging feet 52 and four second engaging grooves 21 are provided. The four second engaging feet 52 are arranged circumferentially around the second engaging member 5, and the four second engaging grooves 21 are arranged circumferentially around the second frame 2, facilitating the engagement of the four second engaging feet 52 into the four second engaging grooves 21 respectively, thereby fixing the second engaging member 5 onto the second frame 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, a positioning frame 6 is provided on the side of the second frame 2 away from the first frame 1. The positioning frame 6 is provided with a limiting piece 61, and the limiting piece 61 is provided with a spring plate assembly 7.

The spring plate assembly 7 is sleeved on the outside of the shaft 3. By controlling the locking force of the adjusting nut 72, the extension and retraction of the multiple elastic plates 71 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the torque tightness of the second frame 2 relative to the first frame 1. The adjustment is simple and convenient.

[0034] In this embodiment, the positioning frame 6 is provided with positioning feet 62, and multiple positioning feet 62 are provided, arranged around the circumference of the positioning frame 6. The second frame 2 is provided with positioning grooves 22, and the positioning feet 62 are accommodated in the positioning grooves 22.
