AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing hinges have dampers placed on the base, which increases the overall thickness and causes a lack of damping when the cabinet door opens at a small angle.

Method used

Instead of placing the buffer on the buffer seat, a buffer transmission component is installed on the hinge arm. The buffer transmission component slides inside the hinge arm and triggers the buffer, achieving the buffering effect through the movement of the connecting arm assembly.

Benefits of technology

The overall thickness of the hinge was reduced, lowering material costs, while still achieving an effective buffering effect when opened at a small angle, thus solving the problem of lack of damping.
