Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hinge technology, and in particular to a box-support hinge. Background Technology

[0002] Various types of boxes are widely used in industrial production, warehousing and logistics, and daily life, such as industrial equipment boxes, cargo storage boxes, and household storage boxes. Hinges, as a key component connecting the box body and lid, directly affect the user experience.

[0003] Existing hinges are not designed with ease of closing in mind. For some boxes placed at lower levels, users often need to bend over and manually close the lid. This is not only physically demanding for personnel who frequently handle boxes, but can also easily lead to back fatigue or injury. This inconvenience is particularly problematic for warehouse staff who need to open and close large numbers of storage boxes multiple times a day, severely impacting work efficiency.

[0004] As people's demands for the convenience and comfort of cabinets continue to increase, existing hinges are clearly insufficient. Developing a new type of hinge that can stably maintain the open position after the cabinet is opened, while allowing users to easily close the lid without bending over, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a box-support hinge to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include:

[0007] A box-type support hinge includes: an upper page assembly, a lower page assembly, and a U-shaped support rod. The upper page assembly has a first upper page and an upper groove. A first hinge cap is integrally formed on one side of the first upper page, and a second upper page is integrally formed on the other side through a first bending portion. The first upper page is fixedly installed inside the upper groove, and a first movable space is formed between the first bending portion and the inner wall of the upper groove.

[0008] The lower page assembly includes a first lower page piece and a lower groove body. A second hinge cap is integrally formed on one side of the first lower page piece, and a second lower page piece is integrally formed on the other side through a second bending portion. The second bending portion is fixedly installed inside the lower groove body, and a second movable space is formed between the second bending portion and the inner wall of the lower groove body.

[0009] The first hinge cap and the second hinge cap are movably connected by a hinge axis;

[0010] The two ends of the square-shaped support rod are located inside the first and second movable spaces, respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the edges of both the upper and lower grooves are provided with a plurality of first locking holes.

[0012] Preferably, the second upper page and the second lower page are provided with a second locking hole that communicates with the first locking hole.

[0013] Preferably, the first upper page and the upper groove body, as well as the first lower page and the lower groove body, are fixed together by rivets.

[0014] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The upper page assembly consists of a first upper page piece, a first hinge cap, a first bending portion, and a second upper page piece. The first upper page piece is installed in the upper groove. The first bending portion and the inner wall of the upper groove form a first movable space. The lower page assembly operates on the same principle as the upper page assembly. This structural design makes the hinge more flexible and stable when rotating. The first and second movable spaces provide a reasonable range of motion for the hinge's rotation. At the same time, the one-piece molded structure enhances the strength and integrity of the components. The two ends of the U-shaped support rod are located within the movable space, providing support when the box is open and maintaining the open state. When closing, the lid can be closed without bending over, making it convenient to close.

[0016] Several first locking holes are provided on the edges of the upper and lower grooves to facilitate connection and fixation with other components, and to facilitate the installation of hinges on the housing and related components, thereby improving the convenience and versatility of installation.

[0017] The second upper and second lower flaps have second locking holes that communicate with the first locking hole. These locking holes work together to further enhance the firmness of the connection between the hinge and the housing and other components, ensuring that the hinge will not loosen during use and improving the overall structural stability.

[0018] The first upper page piece and the upper groove body, as well as the first lower page piece and the lower groove body, are fixed together by rivets. The rivet fixing method is simple and reliable, which can tightly connect the components of the upper page piece assembly and the lower page piece assembly, ensuring the stability of the hinge structure and extending the service life of the hinge.
