Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hinge technology, specifically a hinge installation mechanism with a guiding assembly function. Background Technology

[0002] Hinges, also known as hinges, are commonly used to connect door panels and cabinet mechanisms, allowing relative rotation between the two.

[0003] Hinges are typically installed using screws to secure them to furniture. During on-site installation, the hinge cup is first fixed to the furniture door panel using screws. Then, one hand holds the door panel, aligning it with the cabinet panel, while the other hand holds the screws and tightens them to secure the hinge arm to the cabinet panel. During this process, because the screws are often pointed, they may be misaligned or fall off upon contact with the cabinet panel, severely affecting the installation accuracy and efficiency of the hinge.

[0004] Existing solutions, such as CN202420342588.8, CN202222961154.X, and CN202222961153.5, add a plastic screw guide bracket to make screw installation more convenient, comfortable, and with higher installation accuracy. However, these screw guide brackets are designed for single use only; once the screw passes through the bracket, it will break the bracket and separate. This type of design is more suitable for screws installed on the exterior of hinges, where it is easy to remove the bracket after it breaks. If the screw is installed inside the hinge, it is not easy to remove the bracket after it breaks, and the broken bracket fragments left inside the hinge may cause the product to jam. Secondly, after the screw passes through the guide bracket, the guide component will not completely detach from the screw when it breaks. It may be caught in the countersunk hole by the screw, thus affecting the correct fit between the screw and the hinge. Over time, the hinge screw may become loose due to the shrinkage of the plastic component as it ages, resulting in a loose connection and causing the cabinet door to sag. In addition, once the plastic guide component breaks, there is no guide during subsequent installation and maintenance. This is especially true for screw mounting holes located deep inside the hinge. Although the original screw holes on the cabinet panel are still there, the screws fall into the hinge before they can reach the original screw holes due to the depth of the hinge, which obviously makes it inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a hinge installation mechanism with a guiding assembly function. It has a simple structure, is reliable in use, and greatly improves the hinge installation accuracy. It is especially suitable for scenarios where screws are repeatedly installed and screwed to maintain the hinge, greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: A hinge mounting mechanism with a guiding assembly function includes a fixed seat for assembly with a cabinet and a movable seat for assembly with a hinge body. The movable seat is slidably mounted on the fixed seat. The fixed seat is provided with a guiding assembly device, which includes a mounting screw and a guide bracket. The fixed seat has at least one mounting hole for easy assembly onto the cabinet. The guide bracket is detachably mounted on the fixed seat corresponding to the mounting hole. The guide bracket has a limiting guide hole for limiting the movement of the mounting screw. The bottom of the limiting guide hole has several elastic claws. When the elastic claws are initially closed, they are adapted to clamp and connect with the threaded part of the mounting screw, or the elastic claws move downward as the mounting screw rotates and are adapted to clamp and connect with the protrusion of the mounting screw.

[0007] Based on the above optimization, the elastic claw forms a threaded portion for clamping the mounting screw when it is closed, so as to keep the mounting screw in its factory state. Alternatively, the elastic claw is opened as the mounting screw rotates and moves downward along the limiting guide hole to form a protrusion for clamping the mounting screw, so as to make the mounting screw fit into the clamping hole for installation in the mounting hole.

[0008] Based on the above optimization, the central axes of the limiting guide hole, snap-fit ​​hole, and mounting hole are aligned.

[0009] Based on the above optimization, the limiting guide hole is set as a large cylindrical hole for the installation screw to pass through and move.

[0010] Based on the above optimization, the snap-fit ​​hole is set as a small round hole formed by several elastic claws maintaining their initial state when closed.

[0011] Based on the above optimization, the mounting hole is provided with snap-fit ​​holes on both sides for easy disassembly and assembly of the guide bracket, and the guide bracket is provided with snap-fit ​​blocks for engaging with the snap-fit ​​holes.

[0012] Based on the above optimization, the mounting hole is set as a countersunk mounting hole for mounting screws to be assembled into the cabinet.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] The guide bracket and mounting screw of this structure work together to assemble the guide bracket onto the fixed base. The mounting screw moves inward along the guide bracket's limiting guide, causing the elastic claw to clamp onto the threaded portion of the mounting screw, thus fixing the mounting screw within the guide bracket—this is the factory default state. During assembly, the mounting screw is rotated and tightened into the mounting hole. At this time, the elastic claw is opened and remains clamped on the protruding part of the mounting screw. After subsequent maintenance of the hinge by removing the mounting screw, the elastic claw returns to its initial state. When tightening the mounting screw again, the above clamping and guiding process is repeated. The structure is simple, reliable, and greatly improves the hinge installation accuracy. It is particularly suitable for scenarios involving repeated screw installation and maintenance of hinges, significantly enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] According to the appendix Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the hinge mounting mechanism with guiding assembly function of this utility model includes a fixed base 1 assembled with the cabinet and a movable base 2 assembled with the hinge body. The movable base 2 is slidably mounted on the fixed base 1. The fixed base 1 is provided with a guiding assembly device, which includes a mounting screw 3 and a guide bracket 4. The fixed base 1 has at least one mounting hole 5 for easy assembly onto the cabinet. The guide bracket 4 is detachably mounted on the fixed base 1 corresponding to the mounting hole 5. The guide bracket 4 has a limiting guide hole 6 for restricting the movement of the mounting screw 3 and guiding its movement. The bottom of the limiting guide hole 6 has several elastic claws 7. When initially closed, the elastic claws 7 are adapted to clamp and connect with the threaded portion of the mounting screw 3, or the elastic claws 7 move downwards as the mounting screw 3 rotates and are adapted to clamp and connect with the protrusion of the mounting screw 3.

[0021] Through the structural cooperation between the guide bracket 4 and the mounting screw 3, the guide bracket 4 is assembled onto the fixed base 1. The mounting screw 3 moves inward along the limiting guide of the guide bracket 4, causing the elastic claw 7 to clamp onto the threaded part of the mounting screw 3, thus fixing the mounting screw 3 within the guide bracket 4. This is the factory state. During assembly, the mounting screw 3 is rotated and tightened into the mounting hole 5. At this time, the elastic claw 7 is opened and remains clamped on the protruding part of the mounting screw 3. After the hinge is removed for subsequent maintenance, the elastic claw 7 will return to its initial state. When the mounting screw 3 is tightened again, the above clamping and guiding process will be repeated. The structure is simple, reliable in use, and greatly improves the hinge installation accuracy. It is particularly suitable for scenarios where the hinge needs to be repeatedly installed and repaired with the screw 3, greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in further detail, the elastic claw 7 forms a threaded portion for clamping the mounting screw 3 when it is closed, so as to keep the mounting screw 3 in its factory state. Alternatively, the elastic claw 7 is opened as the mounting screw 3 rotates and moves downward along the limiting guide hole 6 to form a protrusion for clamping the mounting screw 3, so as to make the mounting screw 3 fit into the clamping hole for mounting in the mounting hole 5.

[0023] The mounting hole 5 has buckle holes 9 on both sides for easy disassembly and assembly of the guide bracket 4, and the guide bracket 4 has a snap-fit ​​block 10 for engaging with the buckle holes 9.

[0024] In the optimized scheme, the limiting guide hole 6 is a large cylindrical hole for the installation screw 3 to move through; the snap-fit ​​hole 8 is a small round hole formed by several elastic claws 7 maintaining their initial state when closed; and the mounting hole 5 is a countersunk mounting hole for fitting the installation screw 3 to the cabinet.

[0025] When the snap-fit ​​block 10 is fastened into the snap-fit ​​hole 8, the guide bracket 4 is fitted onto the fixed base 1. At this time, the central axes of the limiting guide hole 6, the snap-fit ​​hole 8, and the mounting hole 5 coincide.

[0026] That is, several elastic claws 7 form a small circular hole concentric with the large cylindrical hole, which is used to clamp the threaded part of the mounting screw 3. At this time, the mounting screw 3 is fixed in the guide bracket 4, which is the factory state. The structure is simple, easy to assemble, and prevents the mounting screw 3 from falling out. At the installation site, the user only needs to use a screwdriver to rotate and screw the positioned mounting screw 3 into the countersunk mounting hole to fix it to the cabinet. When the protrusion at the top of the mounting screw 3 is connected to the mounting surface of the fixing seat 1, the elastic claws 7 are opened and will hold the protrusion of the mounting screw 3. After the hinge is removed for maintenance, the elastic claws 7 will return to the initial state, and the clamping and guiding process will be repeated when the mounting screw 3 is tightened again. It is easy to operate, reliable to use, and greatly improves the hinge installation accuracy. It is especially suitable for scenarios where the hinge needs to be maintained by repeatedly installing the mounting screw 3.

[0027] The above specific embodiments are only specific implementations of the present utility model with better effects. All structures that are the same as or equivalent to the hinge installation mechanism with guiding assembly function of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
