[0025] Example

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a hinge with a buffer function, including a fixed hinge 1, a movable hinge 2, a mounting pin 3, and a top post mechanism. The fixed hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2 are hinged and supported by the mounting pin 3. Specifically, see attached... Figure 1 As shown, to facilitate hinged installation, hinge bearings are fixedly installed on the mating sides of both the fixed hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2. The hinge bearings on the fixed hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2 sides are concentrically aligned. The mounting pin 3 is used to fix the hinged mating installation of hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, the end shaft of the mounting pin 3 is inserted into the pin hole in the middle of the hinged shaft seat. In order to lock and limit the mounting pin 3 after installation, an annular groove is provided at the lower part of the mounting pin 3. The inner side of the annular groove is fitted and locked with a limiting ring 10. The limiting ring 10 can prevent the mounting pin 3 from moving up and falling out after installation.

[0027] To facilitate the installation of the fixed hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2, bolt mounting holes 8 are provided through the middle of both the fixed hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2. Mounting bolts are installed inside the bolt mounting holes 8. The fixed hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2 are fastened to the upper part of the door frame and the door body respectively by the mounting bolts.

[0028] The top post mechanism is installed on the inner edge of the movable hinge 2. The top post mechanism includes a ball-head top post 4 and a spring 5. The ball-head top post 4 is movably installed on the inner side of the movable hinge 2 via the spring 5. See attached diagram for details. Figure 5 As shown, to facilitate the connection and installation of the ball-head top post 4, a top post mounting hole 9 is provided on the inner side of the movable hinge 2. The ball-head top post 4 is slidably fitted into the inner side of the top post mounting hole 9. The front end of the spring 5 is fixedly installed with the rear end of the ball-head top post 4, and the rear end of the spring 5 abuts against the inner side of the top post mounting hole 9, which can provide elastic support for the installation of the ball-head top post 4. In order to realize the installation guidance of the end of the ball-head top post 4, as shown in the attached figure... Figure 3 As shown, an annular guide groove 6 is provided on the inner side of the fixed hinge 1. The end of the ball head post 4 is slidably supported and installed with the groove surface of the annular guide groove 6. The annular guide groove 6 is opened on the outer periphery of the hinge shaft seat on the side of the fixed hinge 1. In order to reduce sliding friction, the front end of the ball head post 4 is spherical. The ball head of the ball head post 4 is slidably supported and installed with the groove surface of the annular guide groove 6. After installation, solid lubricating grease needs to be added to the annular guide groove 6. In order to achieve closed buffering, a buffer protrusion 7 is provided on the inner side of the annular guide groove 6. The buffer protrusion 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the annular guide groove 6. Both sides of the protrusion 7 are inclined arc surfaces. During operation, the end of the ball head post 4 is slidably supported on the inner side of the annular guide groove 6. In conjunction with the buffer protrusion 7 set on the inner edge of the annular guide groove 6, when the hinge reaches the closing stop point, the elastic retraction of the ball head post 4, guided by the convex seat, can absorb the closing impact and achieve closing buffer protection for the hinge. The structure is simple and the operation is reliable. After closing, the ball head of the ball head post 4 is fitted and locked with the arc surface of the inner edge of the buffer protrusion 7, which can realize the temporary flipping limit of the hinge after closing, which can avoid accidental closing caused by external force, and greatly improve the working reliability of the hinge.

[0029] Working principle or structural principle: During installation, the fixed hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2 are installed on the upper part of the door frame and door panel respectively by bolt tightening. After installing the ball head post 4, the fixed hinge 1 and the movable hinge 2 are connected and installed by the insertion and limiting of the installation pin 3. During operation, when the door is closed, the end of the ball head post 4 slides against the inner side of the annular guide groove 6 under the push of the spring 5. When the door flips to the closed stop position, the end of the ball head post 4 contacts and supports the inclined arc surface of the buffer protrusion 7. The ball head post 4 retracts and compresses the spring 5 through the push of the buffer protrusion 7. The elastic retraction of the ball head post 4 can absorb the closing impact and realize the closing buffer protection of the hinge. After closing, the end of the ball head post 4 is engaged with the inner edge of the buffer protrusion 7 in the annular guide groove 6, which can realize the temporary flipping limit of the hinge after closing, and avoid the door from being accidentally closed due to external force.

[0030] In summary, this hinge adopts a top-column sliding guide-type closing buffer structure. A ball-head top column 4 is installed inside the top column mounting hole 9 on the inner side of the movable hinge 2 via a spring 5. During operation, the end of the ball-head top column 4 slides and supports the inner side of the annular guide groove 6. In conjunction with the buffer protrusion 7 located on the inner edge of the annular guide groove 6, when the hinge reaches its closing stop, the elastic retraction of the ball-head top column 4, guided by the protrusion, absorbs the closing impact, achieving closing buffer protection for the hinge. The structure is simple and the operation is reliable. Furthermore, after closing, the ball-head top column 4 engages with the inner edge of the buffer protrusion 7 in the annular guide groove 6, enabling temporary flipping and limiting of the hinge after closing. This avoids accidental closing due to external force, greatly improving the hinge's operational reliability.
