One end of the driven member 108 of the rotating mechanism passes through the through-hole and is rotatably connected to the third mounting portion, allowing the third mounting portion to rotate under the influence of the rotating mechanism. Mounting structures are provided at the three corners of the third mounting portion. Through these structures, the third mounting portion is fixedly connected to the vehicle door 200 by bolts, preventing the vehicle door 200 from rotating relative to the third mounting portion, thereby allowing the vehicle door 200 to rotate synchronously with the third mounting portion.

[0112] A hinge 100 is further provided with a driving part for driving the hinge 100 to rotate. One end of the driving part is suitable for connecting to the vehicle body, and the other end of the driving part is connected to the third mounting part.

[0113] As shown in Figures 12 and 13, in a specific embodiment, the power source of the hinge 100 is a drive unit, which is a retractable power structure that can be pressure-driven or motor-driven. One end of the drive unit is mounted on the vehicle body, and the other end is connected to the third mounting portion. When the drive unit is extended, it drives the third mounting portion to rotate. Since the third mounting portion is connected to the follower 108 of the rotating mechanism, it also drives the rotating mechanism to rotate. Furthermore, the rotating mechanism is connected to the connecting rod mechanism and the second mounting portion 109, and the second mounting portion 109 is in turn connected to the connecting rod mechanism. Therefore, it drives the second mounting portion 109 and the connecting rod mechanism to rotate accordingly, realizing the combined movement of the vehicle door 200 in the X and Y directions.

[0114] The present application also provides a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body, a vehicle door 200 and a hinge 100 according to any one of claims 1-16, wherein the first mounting portion 101 is connected to the vehicle body, the output end of the rotating mechanism is connected to the third mounting portion, and the third mounting portion is connected to the vehicle door 200.

[0115] As shown in Figures 12 and 13, in a specific embodiment, a hinge 100 is provided at the mounting frame of the vehicle door 200, the first mounting portion 101 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body by bolts, the third mounting portion is fixedly connected to the vehicle door 200 by bolts, and the third mounting portion is installed at the upper end of the vehicle door 200 as much as possible to ensure that the vehicle door 200 is not lifted too high during the opening process.

[0116] As shown in Figures 5 and 11, the second connecting rod always follows the first connecting rod 102 in rotating at a constant speed and radius, but the rotational motion of the first connecting rod 102 and the driving member 105 is not constant speed. The angle between the centerline 151 of the first connecting rod and the centerline 151' of the first connecting rod after the door is opened is the swing arm door opening angle 143, and the angle between the first axis 136 and the sixth axis 134 is the first crank angle 141. When the vehicle door 200 is opened 90°, the first crank angle 141 increases by 90°, and the swing arm door opening angle 143 is greater than 0° and less than 90°. The first crank angle 141 and the swing arm door opening angle 143 change speed during the opening process, and have a quick return characteristic.

[0117] Furthermore, as shown in FIG9 , the angle between the first axis 136 and the fourth axis 132 is a second crank angle 142 , which remains unchanged during the opening and closing process of the vehicle door 200 . The size of the second crank angle 142 can change the swing arm door opening angle 143 .

[0118] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 8, 11, 12 and 13, during the opening process of the car door 200, the electric strut or hydraulic strut will drive the third mounting part to which it is connected, driving the car door 200 to rotate while driving the first connecting rod 102 and the second connecting rod 103 to rotate around the first axis 136 and the second axis 137 respectively. The rotation angles are both the swing arm door opening angle 143. The center line 151 of the first connecting rod rotates to the center line 151' of the first connecting rod after the door is opened. The follower 108 drives the third mounting part and the car door 200 to rotate 90 degrees in the Y direction (i.e. outside the car) and the Z direction (i.e. downward) to open in a compound manner, finally reaching the open state of the car door 200 as shown in Figures 11 and 13.

[0119] During the closing process of the vehicle door 200, the electric support rod or the hydraulic support rod retracts, which will drive the third mounting part to rotate in the opposite direction. Since the third mounting part is connected to the follower 108 of the rotating mechanism, it will drive the rotating mechanism to rotate. Furthermore, the rotating mechanism is connected to the connecting rod mechanism and the second mounting part 109, and the second mounting part 109 is connected to the connecting rod mechanism, so it will drive the second mounting part 109 and the connecting rod mechanism to rotate in the opposite direction accordingly, realizing the combined closing movement of the vehicle door 200 in the X direction and the Y direction.
