Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-7In this embodiment of the utility model, a pulley hinge structure is provided, comprising a pulley seat 1, a guide wheel, and a pulley 3. The front end face of the pulley seat 1 is provided with at least one guide wheel plate 11 for mounting the guide wheel, and the front end face of the pulley seat 1 is provided with at least one connecting plate 12 for mounting the pulley 3. The horizontal height of the connecting plate 12 is not higher than that of the guide wheel plate 11. The guide wheel is rotatably mounted on the guide wheel plate 11. The upper and lower ends of the guide wheel are respectively provided with locking blocks 21 for locking the guide rail. The pulley 3 is rotatably mounted on the connecting plate 12. The width of the left and right sides of the guide wheel is equal to the diameter of the pulley 3. The pulley hinge structure also includes a slide rail 4, which has a hollow inner hole 41. A through groove 42 is opened on the lower end face of the slide rail 4 to connect the hollow inner hole 41 for slidingly mounting the pulley seat 1. The width of the through groove 42 is equal to the diameter of the pulley 3. Figure 5-7 As shown, the front end face of the pulley seat 1 is provided with two connecting plates for mounting pulleys 3, and two sets of pulleys 3 are mounted on them respectively, so that the pulley hinge structure can be more stable when sliding at the slide rail 4.

[0037] Among them, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, there is a height difference between the connecting plate and the guide wheel plate, and the horizontal height of the connecting plate is not higher than the horizontal height of the guide wheel plate.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide wheel has locking blocks at both its upper and lower ends for rotating during installation, allowing the locking blocks to engage with the guide rail. The locking blocks at the guide wheel can be formed by machining or casting.

[0039] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3 The end face height of the connecting plate 12 shown is not higher than that of the guide wheel plate 11. The guide wheel 2 is a rotatable structure. When installing the pulley hinge structure, the installer first rotates the guide wheel 2 so that the left and right sides of the guide wheel 2 are engaged in the through groove 42. Then, the installer continues to move the guide wheel 2 so that it moves to the hollow inner hole 41. The installer rotates the guide wheel 2 so that the locking blocks 21 at both ends of the guide wheel 2 are engaged in the hollow inner hole 41. The wheel surface of the pulley 3 is just in contact with the left and right sides of the through groove 42, so that the pulley 3 can slide in the through groove 42.

[0040] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a through groove 42 is inserted into the upper end of the pulley seat 1 so that the guide wheel 2 is located in the hollow inner hole 41. The wheel surface of the pulley 3 abuts against the two sides of the groove surface of the through groove 42 so that the pulley seat 1 slides in the through groove 42. Thus, the pulley hinge structure can slide in the slide rail 4.

[0041] like Figures 1-3 and Figures 6-7As shown, there is a height difference between the guide wheel plate 11 and the connecting plate 12. Its function is to allow the guide wheel 2 at the guide wheel plate 11 to be installed at the hollow inner hole 41, so that the locking block 21 of the guide wheel 2 can be locked into the inner wall of the hollow inner hole 41. At this time, the pulley 3 installed on the connecting plate 12 is located at the through groove 42, and the pulley can slide in the through groove 42. This structure is simple. When installing, the operator only needs to rotate the guide wheel 2 to install the hinge structure of the pulley 3 on the slide rail 4.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment of the invention, the guide wheel plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 are integrally formed. The connection method between the guide wheel plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 includes, but is not limited to, machining, die casting, and casting.

[0043] Please see Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the utility model, the pulley seat 1 includes a mounting base 5, the right end face of which is hinged to the left end face of the pulley seat 1, allowing the mounting base 5 to rotate. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the mounting base 5 rotates around the axis in the front-back direction.

[0044] Please see Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the invention, the mounting base 5 includes a hinge joint 51 and an ear plate 52. The right end face of the hinge joint 51 is hinged to the left end face of the pulley seat 1, and the ear plate 52 is mounted on the right end face of the hinge joint 51. The connection method between the hinge joint 51 and the ear plate 52 includes, but is not limited to, integral molding and machining. Specifically, mounting holes are provided on both sides of the ear plate 52, and the installation methods between the ear plate 52 and the folding door include, but are not limited to, threaded connection, adhesive bonding, and insertion connection.

[0045] Please see Figures 1-9 In this embodiment of the invention, a folding door includes the aforementioned pulley hinge structure. A slide rail 4 is horizontally positioned above the folding door. The folding door includes a first door panel 6 and a second door panel 7. The first door panel 6 is hinged to the second door panel 7, allowing the first door panel 6 and the second door panel 7 to fold together. An ear plate 52 is detachably mounted on the rear end face of the first door panel 6. Specifically, the mounting methods between the ear plate 52 and the first door panel 6 include, but are not limited to, threaded connections, adhesive bonding, and insertion connections. The folding direction is consistent with the sliding direction of the pulley 3.

[0046] Working principle: The connection between the first door panel 6 and the ear panel 52 allows one end of the folding door to move synchronously with the pulley 3 at the pulley hinge structure. When the operator drags one side of the second door panel 7 to the left, the first door panel 6 and the second door panel 7 can be fully unfolded. When the operator drags the second door panel 7 to the right, the first door panel 6 and the second door panel 7 fold together. When the operator continues to drag the second door panel 7, the second door panel 7 drives the first door panel 6 to move to the right. At this time, the overall area occupied by the folding door becomes smaller, which is the optimal folded state.

[0047] Please see Figure 8 In this embodiment of the utility model, a hidden hole 61 is provided on the rear end face of the first door panel 6 near the hinge joint 51. The hinge joint 51 is fitted into the hidden hole 61 so that the left end face of the ear plate 52 abuts against the rear end face of the first door panel 6.

[0048] Specifically, the size of the concealed hole 61 is not smaller than the size of the hinge joint 51. When installing the hinge joint 51 to the first door panel 6, the operator inserts the hinge joint 51 into the concealed hole 61 so that the ear plate 52 abuts against the end face of the first door panel 6. The ear plate 52 can be installed onto the first door panel 6 by using screws. By setting the concealed hole 61, the first door panel 6 can fit more snugly against the slide rail 4, and on the other hand, it can make the overall folding door more beautiful and concise.

[0049] Please see Figures 3-9 In this embodiment of the present invention, the second door panel 7 is provided with a handrail 71, which is detachably installed on the front end face of the second door panel 7. The handrail 71 makes it easier for people to grip, thereby improving the ease of use of the folding door.

[0050] Please see Figures 4-6 In this embodiment of the present invention, the folding door is provided with at least one set of spring hinges 72, which are detachably installed at the hinge joint of the folding door. These hinges enable the first door panel 6 and the second door panel 7 to be hinged together to achieve folding. The working principle of the spring hinges 72 can be found in the description of patent number CN221682741U, and will not be repeated here.

[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
