Detailed Implementation
[0022] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the present utility model will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.
[0023] Example:
[0024] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a display cabinet with a retractable hinge, including a display cabinet body 1 and a display cabinet door 2 disposed on the front of the display cabinet body 1. One side of the display cabinet door 2 is rotatably connected to the display cabinet body 1 via a hinge 3, allowing the display cabinet door 2 to be opened and closed in a conventional rotation manner. A U-shaped blocking strip 4 extending vertically is provided to cover the outer side of the door gap between the side of the display cabinet door 2 and the display cabinet body 1. The opening of the U-shaped blocking strip 4 faces the display cabinet body 1, and the hinge 3 is located at the U-shaped door gap. The U-shaped shielding strip 4 is internally connected to both sides of the door hinge 3, so that when the display cabinet door 2 is opened or closed and the door hinge 3 is rotated, the U-shaped shielding strip 4 will also rotate accordingly. When the display cabinet door 2 is closed, the U-shaped shielding strip 4 can just cover the door hinge 3 and the door gap between one side of the display cabinet door 2 and the display cabinet body 1, thereby improving the appearance of the display cabinet. The U-shaped shielding strip 4 also covers the door hinge 3, making it difficult to disassemble the door hinge 3 and improving safety.
[0025] This utility model uses a U-shaped blocking strip 4 set on the outside of the door gap to cover the door gap, and at the same time, the door hinge 3 is set inside the U-shaped blocking strip 4. When the display cabinet door 2 is closed, the U-shaped blocking strip 4 can completely cover the door gap and the door hinge 3, which improves the appearance of the display cabinet and makes the door hinge 3 difficult to disassemble, thus improving safety. The two sides of the door hinge 3 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the U-shaped blocking strip 4, so when the display cabinet door 2 is opened or closed and the door hinge 3 is rotated, the U-shaped blocking strip 4 will also rotate accordingly, without affecting the normal opening and closing of the display cabinet door 2.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the door hinge 3 includes a first gear 301 and a second gear 302 that mesh with each other and are both located within the U-shaped blocking strip 4, allowing the first gear 301 and the second gear 302 to rotate relative to each other. The first gear 301 is connected to one side of the display cabinet door 2 via a first connecting plate 303, and the second gear 302 is connected to the front of the display cabinet body 1 via a second connecting plate 304. Thus, when the display cabinet door 2 is opened, the display cabinet door 2 will drive the first gear 301 to rotate via the first connecting plate 303, and the first gear 301 can rotate around the second gear 301. When the display cabinet door 2 rotates, the U-shaped shielding strip 4 also rotates accordingly. When the display cabinet door 2 is closed, the first connecting plate 303 and the second connecting plate 304 are parallel to each other, thus minimizing the door gap when the display cabinet door 2 is closed. The first gear 301 and the second gear 302 are rotatably connected to both sides of the U-shaped shielding strip 4. For example, both the first gear 301 and the second gear 302 are provided with a central shaft. The two central shafts are rotatably connected to or fixedly connected to both sides of the U-shaped shielding strip 4. When the two central shafts are fixedly connected to both sides of the U-shaped shielding strip 4, the first gear 301 and the second gear 302 are rotatably connected to their respective central shafts.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the second connecting plate 304 is vertically connected to the side away from the second gear 302 by a third connecting plate 305 located inside the display cabinet door 2. The third connecting plate 305 is connected to the display cabinet body 1, which makes the connection between the second gear 302 and the display cabinet body 1 more stable. When the display cabinet door 2 is closed, the third connecting plate 305 is parallel to the display cabinet door 2, which makes the fit of the display cabinet door 2 on the display cabinet door 2 better.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the first gear 301 and the first connecting plate 303 are both long strip structures extending from the upper inner end to the lower inner end of the U-shaped shielding strip 4. In this way, only one of the first gear 301 and the first connecting plate 303 needs to be set, which makes the installation of the structure simpler and also makes the connection between the display cabinet door 2 and the display cabinet body 1 more stable.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the first gear 301 is an arc-shaped gear with an opening on the side away from the second gear 302. The central hole on one side of the first gear 301 is an opening with a first arc-shaped limiting groove. A first round shaft 306 is rotatably connected in the first arc-shaped limiting groove. The first round shaft 306 can only rotate in the first arc-shaped limiting groove and cannot be disengaged from the opening on one side. The first round shaft 306 is connected to the inner wall on one side of the U-shaped blocking strip 4 through a first connecting strip. The first connecting strip passes through the opening of the first arc-shaped limiting groove, and the width of the first connecting strip is smaller than the opening width of the first arc-shaped limiting groove, thereby allowing the first gear 301 to rotate relative to the U-shaped blocking strip 4, ensuring the flexibility of the first gear 301.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the second gear 302 and the second connecting plate 304 are both long strip structures extending from the upper inner end to the lower inner end of the U-shaped shielding strip 4. In this way, only one of the second gear 302 and the second connecting plate 304 needs to be set, which makes the installation of the structure simpler and also makes the connection between the display cabinet door 2 and the display cabinet body 1 more stable.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the second gear 302 is an arc-shaped gear with an opening on the side away from the first gear 301. The center hole on one side of the second gear 302 is an opening of a second arc-shaped limiting groove. A second round shaft 307 is rotatably connected within the second arc-shaped limiting groove. The second round shaft 307 can only rotate within the second arc-shaped limiting groove and cannot disengage from the opening on one side. The second round shaft 307 is connected to the inner wall on the other side of the U-shaped blocking strip 4 through a second connecting strip. The second connecting strip passes through the opening of the second arc-shaped limiting groove, and the width of the second connecting strip is smaller than the opening width of the second arc-shaped limiting groove. This allows the second gear 302 to rotate relative to the U-shaped blocking strip 4, ensuring the flexibility of the second gear 302.
[0032] It should be noted that, preferably, the lower ends of the first and second arc-shaped limiting grooves are sealed to ensure the stability of the first and second circular shafts 306 and 307. Alternatively, the display cabinet body 1 may have steps, and the display cabinet door 2 may be rotatably connected to the upper end of the steps. In this way, the lower end of the second circular shaft 307 can be directly rotatably connected to the steps of the display cabinet body 1 after passing through the U-shaped shielding strip 4, which can also ensure the stability of the first and second circular shafts 306 and 307. Alternatively, the stability of the first and second circular shafts 306 and 307 may be ensured by other means. The specific method can be set according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that a vertically extending baffle 5 is fixed on the outer wall of the other side of the display cabinet door 2. When the display cabinet door 2 is closed, the baffle 5 covers the outside of the door gap between the other side of the display cabinet door 2 and the display cabinet body 1, which can further improve the aesthetics.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
