Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a hydraulic control system of a floor hinge adapted for a right swing door, a left swing door and a biparting door.
- A conventional floor hinge of the type described above comprises means for attaining a delayed action function capable of slowly closing the door from a fully open state to a certain open angle state, means for closing the door at a normal closing speed, i.e. first closing speed, from the certain open angle state of the door to an open angle close to a position where the door is completely closed, and means for closing the door at a second closing speed lower than the first closing speed. Another conventional floor hinge is further provided with means for achieving a latching action capable of speedily closing the door at angles of about 2° to 3° just before the door has been closed to completely close the same. A further conventional floor hinge is provided with means for attaining a back check function for prevention of rapid opening of the door to the door with an open angle between a certain open angle to the fully open angle so as to prevent the door, a knob of the door or a wall to which the door is attached from being damaged by an accidental rapid opening of the door by an external force, for example.
- In order to attain the back check function, there is provided mechanical means for increasing the door opening force to limit the rapid door opening, and a hydraulic circuit means for limiting the rapid door opening by utilizing a cushioning function of the hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic circuit means includes or does not include a mechanism for minutely adjusting the hydraulic pressure attaining the cushioning function, for example, as disclosed in the Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-15639.
- In the conventional floor hinge of the type including the mechanical back check mechanism, it is difficult to minutely adjust the back check function.
- On the other hand, in the conventional floor hinge of the type utilizing the hydraulic circuit means, it may be possible to adjust or control the first and second door closing speeds, the back check function, the delayed action and the latching action. However, some floor hinges of this type include no mechanism for minutely adjusting these functions or actions, or other some floor hinges of this type include mechanisms capable of minutely adjusting these functions or actions but have complicated structures for attaining these functions or actions or involve troublesome adjusting workings, involving much time and cost and, hence, being not practical.
- An object of the present invention is to substantially eliminate the defects or drawbacks encountered to the prior art described above and to provide a hydraulic control system of a floor hinge including a hydraulic circuit means for easily and minutely achieving various functions such as first and second door speed adjusting functions, back check function in suitable combination thereof to thereby attain the ideal door opening and closing action.
- This and other objects can be achieved according to the present invention by providing a hydraulic control system of a floor hinge provided with a hinge case in which is formed a cylinder portion in which a piston is linearly displaced by a door opening action against an urging force of a return spring, the cylinder portion being sectioned into piston front and rear chambers by the location of the piston, and the door is then automatically closed by the accumulated returning force of the spring, characterized in that a first oil passage is disposed on a side wall of the cylinder portion so as to communicate with the piston front and rear chambers, a first check valve is disposed in the first oil passage and acts to move a hydraulic oil in the piston rear chamber into the piston front chamber by a door opening action due to the displacement of the piston, a second oil passage is disposed on the side wall of the cylinder portion, a second check valve is disposed in the second oil passage and acts in a manner reverse to that of the first check valve, a back check adjusting valve is disposed in the first oil passage so as to adjust quantity of displacement of the hydraulic oil from the piston rear chamber to the piston front chamber in a door open angle region ranged from a predetermined door open angle position to a door fully open angle position, a first speed adjusting valve is disposed in the second oil passage so as to adjust the quantity of displacement of the hydraulic oil from the piston front chamber to the piston rear chamber during the movement of the piston from a first door close angle position to a second door close angle position, and a second speed adjusting valve is disposed in the second oil passage so as to adjust quantity of displacement of the hydraulic oil from the piston front chamber to the piston rear chamber during the displacement of the piston from the second door close angle position to a door fully close angle position.
- In preferred embodiments according to the present invention, a latching action adjusting valve is disposed in the first oil passage for allowing the hydraulic oil to move from the piston front chamber to the piston rear chamber in the door closing region at a time when the piston displaces from the predetermined door open angle position just before the door closing position to the door fully closed position and for adjusting the quantity of the displacement of the hydraulic oil.
- A delayed action adjusting valve is disposed in the second oil passage for adjusting the quantity of the displacement of the hydraulic oil moved from the piston front chamber to the piston rear chamber in the door closing region at a time when the piston displaces from the door fully open angle position to the first door close angle position.
- The latching action adjusting valve and the delayed action adjusting valve may be incorporated commonly in the hydraulic circuit means in addition to the back check adjusting valve and the first and second speed adjusting valves.
- According to the hydraulic control system of the floor hinge of the characters described above, in response to the door opening action, the piston moves linearly towards the piston front chamber while compressing the return spring and, the door is opened to a position of a predetermined open angle.
- In a case where the door is opened from the fully closed position (0°) to a predetermined open angle position (70°, for example), the hydraulic oil filled up in the piston rear chamber freely moves into the piston front chamber through the first oil passage and the check valve. At this moment, the check valve in the second oil passage is closed by the hydraulic oil, so that the hydraulic oil does not move into the second oil passage.
- Next, in a case where the door is opened to the fully open angle position from the predetermined open angle position (70°, for example), the hydraulic oil in the piston rear chamber moves into the piston front chamber through the back check adjusting valve in the first oil passage and the check valve. At this moment, the quantity of the displacement of the hydraulic oil can be minutely adjusted by the back check valve arranged in the first oil passage, whereby an accidental rapid door opening which may be caused by a strong wind or external force can be restricted.
- In a case where the door is closed from the door fully open angle position to the predetermined door close angle position (70°, for example) the hydraulic oil in the piston front chamber moves into the piston rear chamber through the second oil passage while opening the check valve. At this moment, the quantity of the displaced hydraulic oil is adjusted by the first and second speed adjusting valves disposed in the second oil passage. In this operation, in a case where the delayed action adjusting valve is further disposed in the second oil passage, the hydraulic oil in the piston front chamber moves into the piston rear chamber through the first and second speed adjusting valves and the delayed action adjusting valve while opening the check valve. At this moment, the quantity of the displaced hydraulic oil can be minutely adjusted by the first and second speed adjusting valves and the delayed action adjusting valve disposed in the second oil passage. The hydraulic oil in the piston front chamber flows in the intermediate portion of the first oil passage, but the check valve in the first oil passage is closed by the hydraulic oil, so that the hydraulic oil does not flow into the piston rear chamber through the first oil passage.
- Next, in a case where the door is closed in the first door close speed range from the predetermined close angle position (70°, for example) to an open angle close to a position where the door is completely closed, the hydraulic oil in the piston front chamber moves into the piston rear chamber through the first and second speed adjusting valves at a time when the oil passage in which the first speed adjusting valve of the second oil passage is disposed is closed at the piston seal surface. At this moment, the quantity of the displaced hydraulic oil is minutely adjusted by the speed adjusting valve disposed in one of opened oil passages in two branched oil passages of the second oil passage in which the first and second speed adjusting valves are disposed. However, in an ordinal operation, the first speed is preset to be faster than the second speed, the quantity of the displaced hydraulic oil can be minutely adjusted by the first speed adjusting valve in the first speed region.
- When the door is closed in the second speed region, the hydraulic oil in the piston front chamber moves into the piston rear chamber through the second oil passage and the second speed adjusting valve. At this moment, the quantity of the displaced hydraulic oil can be minutely adjusted by the second speed adjusting valve.
- In addition, in a case where the latching action adjusting valve is disposed in the first oil passage, the hydraulic oil in the piston front chamber moves into the piston rear chamber through the first oil passage and the latching action adjusting valve by opening a portion of the oil passage at which the latching action adjusting valve is disposed at the piston seal surface. Accordingly, the door closing speed is made speed-up just before the door closing, thus surely closing the door.

Thecheck valve 23 acts in substantially the same manner as that described with reference to the first embodiment. - The other construction of the floor hinge of the fourth embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, so that the detail thereof is now omitted herein.
- The embodiments of the floor hinges of the constructions described above according to the present invention will operate in the manner described hereunder.
- Figs. 1 and 2 show the closed state of the
door 30, and the lower end of thedoor 30 is fixed to the main shaft 1 of the floor hinge through an arm member and the like, not shown. As illustrated, thepiston 7 is held in a position where thepiston 7 is moved on the side of the front chamber B by thereturn spring 11, and therollers cam 32. - Now supposing that the
door 30 is opened counterclockwisely as shown in Fig. 18, the main shaft 1 of the floor hinge is rotated in the counterclockwisely as viewed in Fig. 1 together with thecam 32, so that the slidingplates 3 are moved leftwardly as viewed through therollers cam 32. Accordingly, thepiston 7 moves linearly towards the side of the rear chamber A while compressing thereturn spring 11 through theconnection rod 5, whereby the piston returning force, i.e. door closing force, is accumulated in thereturn spring 11. - Referring to Fig. 18, it is supposed that the opened angle of the door is to be 120° in which the door opening and closing angle ranged from 70° to 120° is referred to as back check region (BC region), the angle ranged from 120° to 70° is referred to as delayed action region (DA region), the angle ranged from 70° to 20° is referred to as first speed region, the angle ranged from 20° to 0° is referred to as second speed region and the angle ranged from 5° to 0° is referred to as latching action region (LA region).
- In this supposition, when the
door 30 shown in Fig. 18 is opened counterclockwisely by angles from 0° to 70° with ahang base 0 being the center of the rotation of thedoor 30, thehydraulic oil 10 in the rear chamber A shown in Fig. 1 or 2 freely flows into the front chamber B through, as shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 7, theintermediate oil passage 13, thefirst oil passage 34, thecheck valve 14 and theoil passage 15. - When the
door 30 is opened with the angle of the BC region in Fig. 18, theintermediate oil passage 13 is closed with apiston seal surface 16, so that thehydraulic oil 10 in the rear chamber A moves into the front chamber B through thefront oil passage 17 of thefirst oil passage 34, thecheck valve 14 and theoil passage 15. At this moment, thedoor 30 is subjected to the back check function because of the location of the backcheck adjusting valve 18 on the side of thefront oil passage 17 of thefirst oil passage 34. - The quantity of the displaced
hydraulic oil 10 at this moment is minutely adjusted by the backcheck adjusting valve 18, so that the rapid opening of the door due to strong wind or strong external force, for example, can be restricted. - When the
door 30 is closed from the fully opened condition, thecheck valve 14 in thefirst oil passage 34 is closed by means of thehydraulic oil 10′ in the front chamber B and, hence, thehydraulic oil 10′ in the front chamber B passes thesecond oil passage 35 without passing thefirst oil passage 34. Namely, thehydraulic oil 10′ in the front chamber B flows into the rear chamber A through thefront oil passage 19, therear oil passage 20 in thesecond oil passage 35, thecheck valve 23, and thefront oil passage 25. At this moment, the quantity of the displacedhydraulic oil 10′ can be minutely adjusted by the firstspeed adjusting valve 21 and the secondspeed adjusting valve 22 disposed in thesecond oil passage 35. That is, when the door is closed, the door is closed at a first speed in the region from 70° to 20° by controlling the first and secondspeed adjusting valves speed adjusting valve 22. - In a case where the floor hinge is provided with the latching function as described with reference to the second embodiment shown in Figs. 9 to 11, the
hydraulic oil 10′ in the front chamber B flows into the rear chamber A through theoil passage 15, latchingaction adjusting valve 27 and therear oil passage 28 in thefirst oil passage 34 in addition to thesecond oil passage 35 when the door is closed to its complete close position. Accordingly, when thedoor 30 is closed with door closing angles ranged in the LA region in Fig. 18, therear oil passage 28 is opened from the seal surface 16a of thepiston 7 and the door closing speed is increased and, hence, thedoor 30 can be surely closed. - In a case where the floor hinge is provided with the delayed action function as described with reference to the third embodiment shown in Figs. 12 to 14, when the
door 30 is closed from the door fully opened state with door closing angles ranged in the DA region, thehydraulic oil 10′ in the front chamber B flows into the rear chamber A through thefront oil passage 19, therear oil passage 20, the firstspeed adjusting valve 21, the secondspeed adjusting valve 22, thecheck valve 23, the delayedaction adjusting valve 24, and thefront oil passage 25, all disposed in thesecond oil passage 35, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13. - At this moment, in the DA region, the quantity of the displaced
hydraulic oil 10′ can be minutely adjusted by the firstspeed adjusting valve 21, the secondspeed adjustirig valve 22 and the delayedaction adjusting valve 24. In this operation, however, in a case where the opening degree of the delayedaction adjusting valve 24 is wider than those of the first and secondspeed adjusting valves hydraulic oil 10′ can be minutely adjusted by the firstspeed adjusting valve 21. The door opening angle region which can be adjusted by the firstspeed adjusting valve 21 is from 120° to 20° shown in Fig. 18. When the door is closed to a position of 70°, thefront oil passage 26 is opened with the delayedaction adjusting valve 24 being in a non operational condition. - With reference to the fourth embodiment of the floor hinge shown in Figs. 15 to 17, the operation will be carried out in a manner totally combined by those described above with reference to the first, second, and third embodiments and, accordingly, the detail of the operation of the fourth embodiment is omitted herein.
- According to the respective embodiments of the present invention, the ideal door opening and closing action can be achieved in suitable combination of the respective functions of the hydraulic circuit means of the hydraulic control system of the floor hinge.
