Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of door closer technology, specifically a heavy-duty buffer door closer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most soft-close mechanisms on louvered hinged doors utilize mechanical compression springs for energy storage and hydraulic cylinder damping. They achieve soft closing through a bypass throttling oil circuit, and their transmission devices are mostly rack and pinion mechanisms. When the door is pushed or pulled by an external force, the spring is compressed through the transmission rod, rack and pinion, and piston rod. When the external force disappears, the spring force is released, closing the door through the piston rod, rack and pinion, and transmission rod. As the door approaches closing, the synchronously moving piston closes the main return oil channel, and the hydraulic oil flows back through the bypass throttling channel, producing damped closing. Because mechanical compression springs are used as energy storage devices, limitations in metal materials and heat treatment processes make it difficult to maintain consistent product specifications.

[0003] In existing technologies, most doors cannot provide a stable buffer during opening and closing. When closing, the door cannot automatically and slowly close smoothly from a specific angle, which can easily generate a large impact force. This can not only damage the door, door frame, and surrounding objects, but also generate a lot of noise, affecting the user experience. Furthermore, there may be no reasonable limit on the opening angle, which can not meet the needs of daily passage, and can easily cause door collision damage or damage to the door closer's own structure due to an excessive opening angle, reducing safety and the lifespan of the door closer.

[0004] Therefore, we have introduced a heavy-duty buffer door closer. Utility Model Content

[0035] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a heavy-duty buffer door closer, comprising: a housing 7, wherein an installation groove 18 is provided inside the housing 7, and a top cover 5 is provided on the top of the housing 7;

[0036] Cavity 19, which is formed inside the outer shell 7 and located on one side of the mounting groove 18, and a buffer 10 is provided inside the cavity 19;

[0039] The housing 7 has a transmission gear set located in the mounting groove 18.

[0040] The transmission gear set includes a bearing 11 located inside the housing 7 and connected to the drive gear 1. The bearing 11 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 1.

[0041] The housing 7 is internally connected to a positioning pin 8, which passes through driven gears A2, B14, C15, D16, and E17. The positioning pin 8 facilitates the rotation of driven gears A2, B14, C15, D16, and E17, resulting in smoother rotation.

[0047] The outer shell 7 has a toothed groove 20 inside for sliding the rack 6, and the toothed groove 20 and the outer shell 7 are integrally formed.

[0048] A buckle 28 is connected to one side of the surface of the top cover 5. The buckle 28 and the top cover 5 are integrally formed. A slot 29 for engaging the buckle 28 is provided inside one side of the outer shell 7. The slot 29 and the outer shell 7 are integrally formed. The slot 29 facilitates the buckle 28 to be engaged. It can be fixed by screwing in the internal hexagon countersunk screw 9.

[0049] Specifically, when using it:

[0050] When the door begins to open under the action of external force, the door body 25 drives the connecting shaft 21 to rotate. The connecting shaft 21 is connected to the bearing 11 inside the drive gear 1, so the rotation of the connecting shaft 21 will drive the drive gear 1 to rotate. After the drive gear 1 rotates, the driven gear A2 meshing with it begins to rotate. The driven gear A2 then drives the driven gear B14 meshing with it to rotate, and so on. The driven gears C15, D16, and E17 rotate in succession. The upper gear 3 connected to the top of the driven gear D16 rotates with the driven gear D16, which in turn drives the driven gear E17 meshing with the upper gear 3 to rotate. The lower gear 4 at the bottom of the driven gear E17 also rotates accordingly.

[0051] The lower gear 4 meshes with the rack 6. Under the transmission action of the gear set, the rack 6 begins to move. Since the protrusion 22 on one side of the rack 6 contacts the hook 24 on one side of the hook 23 inside the buffer 10, the movement of the rack 6 will drive the hook 23, thereby opening the buffer 10.

[0052] When the door 25 is opened to 85°, the buffer 10 is fully opened. At this time, the rack 6 of the gear set disengages from the hook 23 of the buffer 10, and the door can stop freely in the range of 85°-94°. When the door is opened to 94°, the limiting structure inside the door closer plays its role, limiting the door 25 from continuing to open. The maximum opening angle of the product is 94°. During this process, the positioning pin 8 inside the housing 7 passes through the driven gear A2, driven gear B14, driven gear C15, driven gear D16 and driven gear E17, which plays the role of positioning and stabilizing the gear set, ensuring stable meshing transmission between the gears. The positioning blocks 13 on both sides of the surface of the driving gear 1 cooperate with the positioning part 26 inside the housing 7 to further fix the position of the driving gear 1 and ensure transmission accuracy.

[0053] When the door closes to 80° under external force, the door body 25 drives the connecting shaft 21 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the drive gear 1 to rotate in the opposite direction. The reverse rotation of the drive gear 1, through the transmission of the gear set, causes the lower gear 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the rack 6 to move in the opposite direction. During the reverse movement of the rack 6, its protrusion 22 engages with the hook 24 of the pull hook 23 of the buffer 10. The rack 6 continues to move, driving the pull hook 23, causing the heavy buffer 10 to begin to close automatically. Under the action of the buffer 10, the door body 25 automatically closes slowly and smoothly from 80°. The buffer 10 has two sets of internal hexagon countersunk screws 9 connected inside, which may be used to adjust the performance of the buffer 10, such as the buffering force. The support shaft 27 inside the pull hook 23 slides inside the buffer 10 to ensure that the pull hook 23 moves smoothly inside the buffer 10. The toothed groove 20 opened inside the outer shell 7 is used to slide the rack 6, making the movement of the rack 6 more stable and reducing shaking and friction.

[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
