Description

Technical FieldThe invention relates to the technical field of furniture accessories, and more particularly to a door folding-down device with an optimized cushioning effect.Background ArtChinese Patent Application No. CN202420772415.X is a furniture tucker comprising a tucker mechanism, a force adjusting mechanism and an elastic mechanism disposed in the housing, wherein a pulling force is generated by each hinge point of the tucker mechanism. When the wrapping mechanism is driven by an external force on the housing and opened to a certain angle, the elastic mechanism provides an opening force to the wrapping mechanism so that the wrapping mechanism automatically opens. When the hemming mechanism is driven by an external force on the housing and is closed to a certain angle, the elastic mechanism provides a closing force to the hemming mechanism. When the handling mechanism is driven without external force, the pulling force at each hinge point counteracts the elastic force generated by the elastic mechanism, so that the handling mechanism can easily float up to a certain angle at all times after the door is opened. In this structure, there is also a damper mechanism, wherein the damper mechanism is disposed below the elastic mechanism. The damper mechanism includes a seat body and a damper disposed in the seat body. The other end of the damper protrudes from the seat body and abuts the main support arm, so that the damper provides a damping action for the turnover mechanism. Although the turnover mechanism makes floating at all times when the turnover mechanism opens a smaller angle and then closes the door because the cushioning mechanism has not been fully restored, it cannot provide a full cushioning buffer, resulting in less closing cushioning effect, so that the door body collides with the cabinet body and generates noise; therefore, further improvement is

It is understood that when the support arm mechanism 30 is turned over and opened, the elastic member 70 for the transmission member 60 is elastically restored so that the transmission member 60 quickly returns to the opening position even when the support arm mechanism 30 is closed throughout the travel, the support arm mechanism 30 is buffered by the cooperation of the transmission member 60 and the damping mechanism 50 to reduce noise and ensure user-friendliness.Specifically, the elastic force provided by the elastic mechanism 40 for the support arm mechanism 30 is larger than the elastic force provided by the elastic member 70 for the transmission member 60; more specifically, the elastic mechanism 40 counteracts the relative force of the elastic member 70, so that the door body can be firmly closed.More specifically, the elastic member 70 is a torsion spring, the transmission member 60 is provided with a receiving space 603 for receiving the elastic member 70, the lower end of the transmission member 60 is provided on the housing 10 by rotation of the pivot pin, and the coil portion of the spring member 50 is interleaved on the pivot pin, the torsion arms abutting on the transmission member 60 and the housing 10 at both ends, respectively.
