Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hinge technology, specifically relating to a steel alloy folding hinge for furniture. Background Technology

[0002] Hinges, also known as folding hinges, are widely used in applications such as doors, windows, and cabinets. They are mechanical devices used to connect two solid objects and allow relative rotation between them. Steel alloy folding hinges are made of alloy steel, are small in size, can support objects weighing about 2 tons, are corrosion-resistant, have high hardness, and are not easily deformed by the time and number of rotations. They also provide a buffer function when the door or window is closed, minimizing the noise caused by the collision when closing.

[0003] In existing steel alloy folding hinges, a rotating shaft is installed between the top seat and the U-shaped base to enable rotation between them. However, the installation method of the existing rotating shaft is cumbersome, making the assembly between the top seat and the U-shaped base inconvenient and reducing the overall assembly efficiency of the folding hinge. It is also inconvenient to disassemble the folding hinge later. Therefore, this utility model proposes a steel alloy folding hinge for furniture. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a steel alloy folding hinge for furniture, including a U-shaped base 1 and a top seat 2 rotatably connected to the U-shaped base 1. The bottom of the top seat 2 is provided with an integral end block 8, and the end of the end block 8 is rotatably installed in a notch at the top of the U-shaped base 1. A rotating shaft 9 is provided through the end of the end block 8. Both sides of the U-shaped base 1 are provided with rod holes corresponding to the rotating shaft 9. The two ends of the rotating shaft 9 are respectively located in the two rod holes. The inside of the top seat 2 is provided with an inner pull groove 10, and the inner side of the inner pull groove 10 is provided with an inner pull rod 11, an inner sleeve spring 12, and an inner pull block 13. The bottom of the inner pull rod 11... The inner pull rod 11 is fixed to the inner pull block 13. The inner spring 12 is sleeved on the surface of the inner pull rod 11. A rectangular locking pin 15 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the inner pull block 13. A rectangular hole 14 corresponding to the rectangular locking pin 15 is opened through the center of the rotating shaft 9. The top of the rectangular locking pin 15 passes through to the inside of the rectangular hole 14. A C-shaped groove 3 is provided on the top surface of the top seat 2. A C-shaped plate 4 is provided on the inside of the C-shaped groove 3. The top of the inner pull rod 11 passes through to the inside of the C-shaped groove 3 and is rotatably connected to the C-shaped plate 4. This makes the assembly method of the rotating shaft 9 simpler and faster, thus making it easier for operators to connect and assemble the top seat 2 and the U-shaped base 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the front surfaces of both the U-shaped base 1 and the top seat 2 are provided with bolt grooves 5, and the bottom end of the bolt groove 5 is provided with a through hole. The surfaces of both the U-shaped base 1 and the top seat 2 are provided with sealing structures corresponding to the bolt grooves 5. The sealing structures include a circular groove 6, a circular sealing plate 7, a rotating side member 17, a side groove 16, and a circular plug 18. The circular groove 6 is located at the top of the bolt groove 5, and the side groove 16 is located on one side of the circular groove 6. The rotating side member 17 is rotatably mounted inside the side groove 16. The groove 16, the circular sealing plate 7, and the circular plug 18 are an integral structure. The size of the circular plug 18 is adapted to the bolt groove 5, and the size of the circular groove 6 is adapted to the size of the circular sealing plate 7. The surface of the circular plug 18 is provided with two integral annular retainers 19. Both the circular plug 18 and the annular retainers 19 are made of rubber. The inner wall of the bolt groove 5 is provided with an annular retainer groove adapted to the annular retainer 19, so that after the folding hinge is fixed to the outside door and window, the top of the bolt groove 5 can be sealed by the sealing structure.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, semi-circular buckle grooves are provided on both ends of the C-shaped plate 4, and the U-shaped base 1, top seat 2, end block 8 and rotating shaft 9 are all made of steel alloy components, which makes this folding hinge able to bear objects of considerable weight, and it is corrosion resistant, has high hardness, and is not easily deformed due to the time and number of rotations.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the two ends of the rotating shaft 9 are provided with first positioning grooves, and the two sides of the top seat 2 are provided with second positioning grooves corresponding to the first positioning grooves. This can play a good role in identification and positioning when the rotating shaft 9 is installed, making it easy for the operator to align the rectangular hole 14 with the rectangular locking pin 15.

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the top end of the inner pull groove 10 is provided with a pull hole corresponding to the inner pull rod 11, and the bottom end of the inner pull groove 10 is provided with a pop-out hole corresponding to the rectangular locking pin 15.

[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When it is necessary to install the rotating shaft 9 between the top seat 2 and the U-shaped base 1, first pull the C-shaped plate 4 out forcefully from the inside of the C-shaped groove 3, causing the inner pull rod 11 to pull the inner pull block 13 and the rectangular locking pin 15, and causing the rectangular locking pin 15 to be pulled into the inside of the inner pull groove 10, and causing the inner sleeve spring 12 to be compressed. Then, rotate the C-shaped plate 4 ninety degrees, so that both ends of the C-shaped plate 4 can rest on the top surface of the top seat 2, so that the rectangular locking pin 15 no longer springs back. Then, insert the end block 8 into the notch at the top of the U-shaped base 1. The rotating shaft 9 is inserted into the U-shaped base 1 and the end block 8, and the first positioning groove at the end of the rotating shaft 9 is aligned with the second positioning groove on the side of the top seat 2. Finally, the C-shaped plate 4 is rotated 90 degrees and released, so that the inner spring 12 pushes the inner pull block 13 back, and the top of the rectangular pin 15 is inserted into the inner side of the rectangular hole 14, and the C-shaped plate 4 is pulled into the inner side of the C-shaped groove 3. This completes the rotational connection between the U-shaped base 1 and the top seat 2, making it easier for operators to connect and assemble the top seat 2 and the U-shaped base 1.

[0030] After the folding hinge is subsequently fixed to the external doors and windows with bolts, the circular sealing plate 7 can be rotated 180 degrees so that it can be aligned with the circular groove 6. Then, the circular sealing plate 7 is pressed firmly into the inside of the circular groove 6, causing the circular plug 18 to be pressed into the inside of the bolt groove 5, and the annular locking plug 19 to be engaged in the annular locking groove. This secures the circular sealing plate 7 into the inside of the circular groove 6 and provides a good sealing effect on the top of the bolt groove 5, providing a certain degree of protection for the bolts installed inside the bolt groove 5. It also prevents the inside of the bolt groove 5 from being blocked by foreign objects, ensuring the removal of the folding hinge during subsequent maintenance.

[0031] 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.
