Referring to fig. 2 to 5, fig. 2 and 3 are a schematic view and an exploded view of a hinge device 1 at a first viewing angle according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively, and fig. 4 and 5 are a schematic view and an exploded view of a hinge device 1 at a second viewing angle according to an embodiment of the present invention, respectively.

The hinge device 1 comprises a base 10, a slider 20, a first compression spring 30 and a connecting member 40. The base 10 has a slide mechanism 11. The slider 20 slides along the slide mechanism 11, and the top of the slider 20 has an inclined surface 21. The first compression spring 30 has a first end 31 and a second end 32, the first end 31 being connected to the bottom of the base 10, and the second end 32 being connected to the bottom of the slider 20. The connecting member 40 is pivotally connected to the base 10, the connecting member 40 has a protrusion 41, the protrusion 41 abuts against the top of the slider 20, and the protrusion 41 slides along the inclined surface 21 when the connecting member 40 rotates relative to the base 10.

In the present embodiment, the base 10 includes a body 12 and a pivot 13. The body 12 is provided with a first shaft hole 121 and the connector 40 is provided with a corresponding second shaft hole 401. The pivot 13 is disposed through the first shaft hole 121 and the second shaft hole 401, so that the connecting member 40 is pivotally connected to the base 10, and therefore the connecting member 40 can rotate relative to the base 10 with the pivot 13 as a rotation center. The body 12 further has a sliding slot 122, and the sliding block 20 is disposed in the sliding slot 122 and can slide along the sliding slot 122.

In this embodiment, the base 10 further includes a bottom plate 14 and a fixing member 15. The fixing member 15 fixes the chassis 14 to the bottom of the body 12, and the chassis 14 closes the opening below the chute 122. The first end 31 of the first compression spring 30 is attached to the chassis 14, and the first end 31 is attached to the bottom of the base 10.

In this embodiment, the base 10 further includes a slide rail 16, and the slider 20 is disposed on the slide rail 16 and can slide along the slide rail 16. The slide rail 16 may include two sliding posts 161, two grooves 22 are disposed on two sides of the sliding block 20, and the two grooves 22 are slidably disposed on the two sliding posts 161, respectively, so that the sliding block 20 can slide along the slide rail 16. Therefore, the sliding mechanism 11 includes the sliding slot 122 and the sliding rail 16, and the sliding block 20 can slide along the sliding mechanism 11.

In this embodiment, the first compression spring 30 is located between the two spools 161. In addition, the hinge device 1 may further include two second compression springs 50, and the two second compression springs 50 are respectively sleeved on the two sliding columns 161.

In this embodiment, the base 10 is further provided with a first stop 123 (shown in fig. 3) on its body 12, and the connecting member 40 is provided with a corresponding second stop 42 (shown in fig. 5). The first stopper 123 and the second stopper 42 cooperate with each other to limit the rotational stroke of the link 40.

Referring to fig. 1, the box body 2 of the storage box is connected to the bottom of the base 10, and the box cover 3 is connected to the connecting member 40, so that the hinge device 1 is connected between the box body 2 and the box cover 3, and the box body 2 and the box cover 3 can be opened and closed relatively through the hinge device 1. When the box body 2 and the box cover 3 are relatively opened and closed to a specific angle, the box cover 3 can drive the connecting member 40 to rotate to the specific angle relative to the base 10, so that the specific angle at which the box body 2 and the box cover 3 are relatively opened and closed can be equal to the rotation angle of the connecting member 40 relative to the base 10, and the box and the hinge device 1 are called to be in the specific angle state. In addition, the first stopper 123 of the base 10 and the second stopper 42 of the connecting member 40 cooperate with each other to limit the rotational stroke of the connecting member 40, i.e., to limit the maximum relative angle of the case body 2 and the case cover 3.

Referring to fig. 6 to 9, fig. 6 to 9 are cross-sectional views of a hinge device at 0, 25, 90 and 120 degrees according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, when the storage box and the hinge device 1 are at 0 degree, the protrusion 41 of the connecting member 40 abuts against the side edge of the top of the sliding block 20. When the user pulls the lid 3 of the storage box with some clockwise force and the protrusion 41 goes over the side edge of the top of the slider 20 and abuts against the inclined surface 21 of the top of the slider 20 to slide, the storage box and the hinge 1 will start to open from the 0 degree state.

As shown in fig. 7, when the storage box and the hinge 1 gradually change from 0 degree to 25 degrees, the protrusion 41 slides along the inclined surface 21 of the sliding block 20 and presses the sliding block 20 to compress the first compression spring 30 until there is a maximum compression distance in the 25 degree state. Then, when the storage box and the hinge device 1 exceed 25 degrees, the protrusion 41 continues to slide along the inclined surface 21 of the sliding block 20, but the first compression spring 30 begins to expand to force the sliding block 20 to push the protrusion 41, thereby accelerating the sliding speed of the protrusion 41 along the inclined surface 21 of the sliding block 20, i.e. the opening speed of the box body 2 and the box cover 3.

As shown in fig. 9, when the storage box and the hinge device 1 are in a 120-degree state, the first stop member 123 of the base 10 and the second stop member 42 of the connecting member 40 stop each other to limit the connecting member 40 to continue rotating relative to the base 10, so as to limit the maximum relative angle between the box body 2 and the box cover 3 to be 120 degrees.

In summary, according to the present invention, the torsion mechanism of the hinge device and the storage box using the hinge device adopts the compression spring, which can provide the user with the hand feeling when the box body and the box cover are relatively opened, and can accelerate the opening speed when the box body and the box cover are relatively opened to the critical angle (e.g. 25 degrees in this embodiment, but not limited thereto).
