Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a hinge mechanism, for example, a hinge used in furniture.
  • Cik Patent Publication No. CN 102587757B discloses a hinge with a damping device including: a base including a recessed body, and the recessed body includes two sidewalls and a bottom wall; a hinge arm connected to a first location of the two sidewalls of the base in a pin-jointed manner, and a cam portion is disposed in a pin-jointed portion; a mounting member connected to the hinge arm; a fixing pin member disposed on the recessed body of the base, the fixing pin member includes a first pin and a second pin corresponding to the first pin, the first pin is fixed to the first location of the two sidewalls of the base and connected to the hinge arm in the pin-jointed manner, and the second pin is fixed to a second location of the two sidewalls; a hinge spring including a first elastic portion, a second elastic portion corresponding to the first elastic portion, and an intermediate portion interconnected between the first and second elastic portions, with the first elastic portion pressing against the cam portion of the hinge arm, with the second
  • the hinge structure disclosed in the above case it is needed to connect the mounting member to the base in a rotatable way through the arm, and the mounting member rotates at a radius equal to a distance from the mounting member to a center of rotation of the arm.
  • the disadvantage of this structure is that in the pursuit of a sufficiently large opening width and space when the mounting member is opened, it is needed that the mounting member has a sufficiently large radius of rotation, but an overlarge radius of rotation will make the mounting member and the base not be well sealed when the mounting member is closed up.
  • the present disclosure provides a hinge mechanism having a small radius of rotation and capable of sealing up a movable connector and a fixed connector when closed up.
  • the present disclosure provides a hinge mechanism including a movable connector, a fixed connector, and a hinge assembly connected between the movable connector and the fixed connector and configured for enabling the movable connector to rotate relatively to the fixed connector.
  • the hinge assembly includes:
  • the hinge four-rod mechanism is a double-rocker mechanism and further includes:
  • the fixed connector includes:
  • the hinge mechanism further includes a connecting and rotating member secured to the movable connector and at least two connecting points rotatably connected to the first connecting arm are provided on the connecting and rotating member .
  • the first connecting arm includes:
  • modes of rotatable connecting in the hinge mechanism include:
  • the hinge four-rod mechanism is a double-rocker mechanism.
  • the connecting and rotating member is riveted to the movable connector.
  • the present disclosure further provides a furniture, including a fixed furniture member, a movable furniture member, and at least one of the hinge mechanisms described above, where a movable connector is secured to the movable furniture member and a fixed connector is secured to the fixed furniture member.
  • the present invention discards a method of rotating around a fixed axis in the related art and uses the hinge four-rod mechanism.
  • the hinge four-rod mechanism With the hinge four-rod mechanism, the movable connector can rotate and shift relative to the fixed connector during rotation, thereby ensuring that a relatively large extension amount and opening space are achieved when the movable connector is opened relative to the fixed connector, and relatively good closeness and tightness are achieved when the movable connector is closed up. This solves the problem in the related art.
  • 1-hinge mechanism 100-hinge four-rod mechanism; 2-movable connector; 4-fixed connector; 42-fixed portion; 44-bent portion; 6-hinge assembly; 8-connecting rod; 802-first extension part; 11-elastic element; 12-first side link; 1202-second extension part; 13-second side link; 14-first connecting arm; 16-connecting and rotating member; 18-elastic connector; 20-first adjusting rod; 22-second adjusting rod; 200-fixed furniture member; 300-movable furniture member
  • the hinge mechanism 1 includes a movable connector 2, a fixed connector 4, and a hinge assembly 6 connected between the movable connector 2 and the fixed connector 4 and used for enabling the movable connector 2 to rotate relative to the fixed connector 4.
  • the hinge assembly 6 includes:
  • the hinge four-rod mechanism 100 further includes: a second extension part 1202 served as an extension to a first side link 12 in the hinge four-rod mechanism 100 in a lengthwise direction of the first side link 12, where the first side link 12 is relatively far from the first extension 802 among side links in the hinge four-rod mechanism 100.
  • the first side link 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed portion 42.
  • the hinge four-rod mechanism 100 further includes: a first connecting arm 14, where a first end of the first connecting arm 14 is connected to the second extension part 1202, a second end of the first connecting arm 14 is rotatably connected to the movable connector 2, and the first connecting arm 14 has an allowance stretchable in a lengthwise direction thereof and has an elastic element 11 for limiting recovery of the allowance after release of the allowance and/or limiting the release of the allowance. That is, the first connecting arm 14 includes the elastic member 11 so that the first connecting arm 14 is stretchable in the lengthwise direction.
  • the fixed connector 4 includes: a fixed portion 42 and a bent portion 44 bent on the fixed portion 42.
  • the first side link 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed portion 42, and a second side link 13 on the hinge four-rod mechanism is rotatably connected to the bent portion 44.
  • an included angle between the movable connector 2 and the fixed portion 42 changes within a preset included angle range when the movable connector 2 rotates.
  • an end of the movable connector 2 closest to the bent portion 44 is within a region where the included angle between the fixed portion 42 and the bent portion 44 is located.
  • a working principle of the hinge mechanism 1 in this embodiment may be: a door panel is fixed to the movable connector 2 and the fixed connector 4 is fixed to a door frame (the door frame and the door panel are not shown in the figure).
  • rotation of the door panel drives rotation of the movable connector 2, and the movable connector 2 is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm 14 and the first extension part 802 of the connecting rod 8.
  • Rotation of the movable connector 2 drives movement of the hinge four-rod mechanism 100, and the hinge four-rod mechanism 100 is a double-rocker mechanism; therefore, when rotating around the hinge four-rod mechanism 100, the movable connector 2 has a sufficient extension amount, ensuring that the door panel has a sufficient opening width and space.
  • a movement path of the hinge four-rod mechanism 100 is fixed, so the maximum angle at which the door panel finally opens is also fixed.
  • rotation of the movable connector 2 drives rotation of the hinge four-rod mechanism 100 through the first connecting arm 14 and the first extension part 802 of the connecting rod 8, so that the door panel rotates to a position where the door panel and the door frame are closed up.
  • Movement of the movable connector 2 during the whole process includes rotation and shift, and the movement path of the hinge four-rod mechanism 100 is plannable; therefore, as long as a size and shape of the hinge four-rod mechanism 100 are designed according to requirements, the best state in which the movable connector 2 is located between the bent portion 44 and the fixed portion 42 is that the movable connector 2 or a section of the door panel abuts against the bent portion 44 when the door panel is closed up. This ensures relatively good closeness and tightness between the door panel (or the movable connector) and the fixed connector 4.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show structure diagrams of a hinge mechanism according to embodiment 1. The working principle has been mentioned above. In this embodiment, improvements are made on the first connecting arm 14.
  • This first connecting arm 14 includes:
  • the first connecting arm 14 and the first extension part 802 are connected to the movable connector 2 in a rotatable way, so the first connecting arm 14 is provided with the elastic element 11 (for example, a spring) for resistance of the movable connector 2 during rotation.
  • a magnitude of this force is related to a spring force of the spring and a length of the first connecting arm 14. In this embodiment, this spring force acts when an opening angle of the door panel is 0 to 50 degrees and does not act when the opening angle of the door panel is 50 to 115 degrees.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show structure diagrams of a hinge mechanism according to embodiment 2.
  • Embodiment 2 is similar to embodiment 1 except that, in embodiment 2, the length of the first connecting arm 14 is changed and thus a deformation of the spring is changed.
  • the built-in spring force acts in the whole process when the opening angle is 0 to 115 degrees.
  • a converter may be provided. The converter can be connected to the first connecting arm 14 of different sizes, thereby reducing the production costs.
  • modes of rotatable connecting in the hinge mechanism 1 includes:
  • connection mode installation is easy, multiple rotation pins and through holes have the same size, interchangeability is high, and thus the production costs are reduced. Further, it is also feasible to set the plug pin and the connecting pin into the same shape and size so as to satisfy the interchangeability requirement and further reduce the production costs.
  • FIG. 6 is a structure diagram of a furniture according to an embodiment.
  • a hinge mechanism in this embodiment is widely used and is applicable to any furniture structure similar to a rotatable door panel. It is feasible to secure a fixed furniture member 200 of the furniture to a fixed connector 4 of the hinge mechanism 1 and a movable furniture member 300 to a movable connector 2 of the hinge mechanism 1. With the hinge four-rod mechanism 100, the movable connector 2 can rotate and shift relatively to the fixed connector 4 during rotation, thereby ensuring that a relatively large extension amount and opening space are achieved when the movable connector 2 is opened relative to the fixed connector 4, and relatively good closeness and tightness are achieved when the movable connector 2 is closed up. This solves the problem in the related art.
  • Riveting has the following advantages: detachability is achieved, a simple process is involved, assembly and disassembly are flexible, vulnerable parts can be replaced, and toughness is strong.
  • the hinge mechanism provided by the present invention discards a method of rotating about a fixed axis in the related art and uses the hinge four-rod mechanism.
  • the hinge four-rod mechanism With the hinge four-rod mechanism, the movable connector can rotate and shift relatively to the fixed connector during rotation, thereby ensuring that a relatively large extension amount and opening space are achieved when the movable connector is opened relative to the fixed connector, and relatively good closeness and tightness are achieved when the movable connector is closed up. This solves the problem in the related art.
