Description

  The present invention relates to a hinge device used when a door is rotatably attached to a housing, and more particularly to a hinge device that can be attached to a door with one touch.

  In general, this type of hinge device includes a hinge body attached to a housing, a housing side connecting member rotatably connected to a door side end of the hinge body, and a door side inserted into a door mounting hole. And a connecting member. When the housing side connecting member is inserted into the mounting hole with the door side connecting member being inserted into the mounting hole, the door side connecting member is fixed to the mounting hole and the housing side connecting member is connected to the door side connecting member. . Thereby, a door is connected with a housing via a hinge device so that rotation is possible.

  As described in Patent Document 1 below, the door-side connecting member is provided with a pair of locking pieces that oppose each other in the radial direction of the mounting hole. One end of the locking piece located on the opening side of the mounting hole is connected to the door side connecting member. The other end of the locking piece is movable as a free end in the radial direction of the mounting hole. And the other end part of each attachment piece is arrange | positioned from the one end part to the radial inside of an attachment hole. As a result, the distance between the pair of locking pieces is narrower from the opening side to the bottom side of the mounting hole, and is narrower than the distance between both side portions of the housing side connecting member. Therefore, when the housing-side connecting member is inserted into the mounting hole, both side portions of the housing-side connecting member abut against each locking piece and move each locking piece to the outside. A biting portion having a saw blade shape is formed on the surface facing the outside of the locking piece. The biting portion bites into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole when the other end of each locking piece moves outward. Thereby, it fixes to the attachment hole of a door side connection member.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-45021

  The resistance when the biting portion bites into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole increases as the biting amount increases, and becomes extremely large at the final stage of biting. As a result, a great amount of frictional resistance is generated between the contact surfaces of the locking piece and the housing side connecting member. In addition, in the final stage of biting, the pushing amount of the housing side connecting member necessary to bite the biting portion by a certain amount is significantly larger than the biting amount of the biting portion. Therefore, when connecting the housing side connecting member to the door side connecting member, the housing side connecting member is pushed with a large force toward the bottom side of the mounting hole so as to overcome not only the biting resistance of the biting portion but also the frictional resistance. There is a need. Moreover, it must be pushed over a relatively long distance. For this reason, in the conventional hinge apparatus, when connecting the housing side connection member to the door side connection member, there existed a problem that much labor was required.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention provides a hinge main body attached to a housing, a connecting member rotatably connected to one end of the hinge main body, and inserted and fixed in an attachment hole formed in the door. The connecting member includes a biting portion that bites into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole by moving outward in the radial direction of the mounting hole, and a moving mechanism that moves the biting portion radially outward of the mounting hole. When the connecting member is inserted into the mounting hole, the biting portion is moved radially outward of the mounting hole by the moving mechanism and bites into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole, thereby In the hinge device in which the connecting member is fixed to the mounting hole, the moving mechanism has first and second movable parts provided on the connecting member, and adjacent one ends of the first and second movable parts. But It is connected to be pivotable about an axis that extends in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the mounting hole, and is spaced apart from the other end in the axial direction of the mounting hole. The biting portion is provided at the other end of at least one of the two movable portions, and the axis of the mounting hole is connected by the connecting member until one end of the first and second movable portions is located at substantially the same position as the other end. By being pushed and moved in the direction, the biting part is moved radially outward of the mounting hole and bites into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole.
In this case, the connecting member is connected to the housing-side connecting member rotatably connected to the hinge body, and is connected to the housing-side connecting member so as to be displaceable in the axial direction of the mounting hole, and is inserted into the mounting hole. A door-side connecting member, and the door-side connecting member is provided with the first and second movable portions, and one end portion of the first and second movable portions connected to each other so as to be rotatable is the mounting hole. It is desirable that the housing side connecting member inserted into the housing is pressed and moved in the axial direction of the mounting hole. The said door side connection member may be connected with the said housing side connection member so that attachment or detachment is possible, and may be connected with the said housing side connection member so that separation is impossible.
The connecting member is provided with a second biting portion that is moved radially outward of the mounting hole by insertion of the connecting member into the mounting hole and that bites into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole. The two biting portions are arranged away from the biting portion in the circumferential direction of the mounting hole, and the moving direction of the second biting portion is set in a direction intersecting with the moving direction of the biting portion. Is desirable.
The door side connecting member is provided with a second biting portion that is moved radially outward of the mounting hole by insertion of the housing side connecting member into the mounting hole and bites into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole. And the second biting portion is arranged to be spaced apart from the biting portion in the circumferential direction of the mounting hole, and the moving direction of the second biting portion is set in a direction intersecting with the moving direction of the biting portion. It is desirable that
The second biting part is arranged at a distance of approximately 90 ° in the circumferential direction of the mounting hole with respect to the biting part, and the moving direction of the second biting part is in a direction substantially perpendicular to the moving direction of the biting part. It is desirable that it is set.

  According to the present invention having the above-described characteristic configuration, at the final stage of biting, the amount of pressing movement of the first and second movable parts by the connecting member in the axial direction of the mounting hole is substantially the same as the quantity of biting of the biting part. . Therefore, if one end of the first and second movable parts is pushed by the connecting member, even if friction resistance is generated between the one end moving with respect to the connecting member, at the final stage of biting Since the amount of pressing movement by the connecting member is small, labor when inserting and fixing the connecting member in the mounting hole can be reduced. In particular, when the connecting member pushes one end of the first and second movable parts, when the one end does not move relative to the connecting member, no frictional resistance is generated between them. Therefore, the labor at the time of inserting and fixing the connecting member in the mounting hole can be further reduced.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1 to 18 show a first embodiment of the present invention. The hinge device 1 according to this embodiment has a hinge body 2 as shown in FIGS. The hinge body 2 is detachably attached to the inner surface of the side wall of a housing (not shown) such as furniture via a base plate (not shown). One end of a plurality of (two in this embodiment) arms 3A and 3B is rotatably connected to one end of the hinge body 2 on the door D side. A housing side connecting member 4 is rotatably connected to the other end of each of the arms 3A and 3B. A mounting hole Da having a circular cross section is formed on the surface of the door D facing the housing, and two positioning holes Db are formed in the vicinity thereof. And the door side connection member 5 positioned by the positioning hole Db is attached to the attachment hole Da. By connecting the housing side connecting member 4 to the door side connecting member 5, the door D is rotatably connected to the housing via the hinge device 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, 17, and 18, the housing-side coupling member 4 has a cup portion 4 a. In addition to the arms 3A and 3B, one end of the peripheral wall 4b of the cup 4a (the right end in FIG. 2 is referred to as a base end, and the end opposite to the base end is referred to as a front end). The ends are connected so as to be rotatable. As a result, the housing side connecting member 4 is rotatably connected to the hinge body 2 via the arms 3A and 3B. A through hole 4d is formed at the intersection of the peripheral wall 4b and the bottom 4c on the base end side of the cup 4a. As shown in FIG. 6, the through-hole 4d is composed of a wide end portion 4e on the proximal end side and a narrow width portion 4f on the distal end side. The distal end of the peripheral wall 4b of the cup 4a has a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the proximal end and the distal end (hereinafter referred to as the left-right direction, the right side from the proximal end toward the distal end, and the right side, A flange portion 4g is formed extending to the left side (referred to as the left side portion). The flange portion 4g is disposed at an end portion on the opening side of the cup portion 4a (hereinafter referred to as an upper end portion, and an end portion on the bottom portion 4c side is referred to as a lower end portion).

  The cup portion 4a is inserted in the mounting hole Da so as to be hardly movable in the radial direction. Moreover, the cup portion 4a is inserted into the mounting hole Da until the flange portion 4g hits the door D. In a state where the flange portion 4g is in contact with the door D, a gap having a predetermined width is formed between the bottom surface of the mounting hole Da and the bottom portion 4c. The width of this gap is substantially the same as the thickness of the fixing member 6 described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the door side connecting member 5 has one fixing member 6 and two auxiliary fixing members 7.

  The fixing member 6 is made of a metal flat plate and is formed so as to be insertable into the mounting hole Da. The fixing member 6 has first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b having a flat plate shape. The first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b are arranged on the same plane and are placed on the bottom surface of the attachment hole Da. The first substrate portion 6a is a base end portion of the door side connecting member 5, that is, the same end portion as the base end portion of the housing side connecting member 4 (hereinafter, the base end, the front end, and the top, bottom, left and right of the door side connecting member 5 are The second substrate portion 6a is disposed at the tip portion. The first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b are connected to each other on the left and right sides by coupling portions 6c and 6d having a substantially “U” shape. Moreover, the first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b are movable in the direction connecting the base end portion and the distal end portion (hereinafter referred to as the front-rear direction) by the elastic deformation of the coupling portions 6c and 6d. .

  Between the second substrate parts 6a and 6b, first and second movable plate parts (first and second movable parts) 6e and 6f are provided. One end portions of the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are connected to each other. In this case, the end portions of the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are shown in FIGS. 9, 11, and 14 to 18 before the housing side connecting member 4 is connected to the door side connecting member 5. As shown, the connecting portions of the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are bent in a mountain folded state. The angle formed by the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f is set to an angle slightly smaller than 180 °, for example, about 160 °. The other end portion of the first movable plate portion 6e is connected to the distal end portion of the first substrate portion 6a, and the other end portion of the second movable plate portion 6f is connected to the proximal end portion of the second substrate portion 6b. . The connecting portion between the other end portion of the first movable plate portion 6e and the tip portion of the first substrate portion 6a, and the connecting portion between the other end portion of the second movable plate portion 6f and the base end portion of the second substrate portion 6b are as follows. Before the housing side connecting member 4 is connected to the door side connecting member 5, both are bent in a valley folded state.

  Since the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are configured as described above, one end portions of the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are located above the other end portions (the mounting holes Da). The opening side). When one end of the first and second movable plates 6e and 6f is pushed downward, the other end abuts against the bottom surface of the mounting hole Da, so the angle formed by the first and second movable plates 6e and 6f The first and second movable plate portions 6e, 6f are deformed so that the angle formed between the first and second movable plate portions 6e, 6f and the first and second substrate portions 6a, 6b is increased. 6f moves downward while rotating in the opposite directions around one end thereof. As a result, the first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b are moved away from each other in the front-rear direction. In addition, since the angle formed by the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f is set to be slightly smaller than 180 °, when the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are pushed downward, the force is reduced. The signal is transmitted to the first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b in a greatly increased state. The force transmitted to the first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b increases as the angle formed by the first and second movable plates 6e and 6f approaches 180 °.

  First biting portions (biting portions) 6g and 6h having a plurality of biting teeth that are substantially triangular are formed at the base end portion of the first substrate portion 6a and the tip end portion of the second substrate portion 6b, respectively. The first biting portions 6g and 6h are arranged on the same circumference. The outer diameter D1 (see FIG. 14) of the first biting portions 6g and 6h is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the mounting hole Da before the housing side connecting member 4 is connected to the door side connecting member 5. Accordingly, when the first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b are moved away from each other by the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f, the first biting portions 6g and 6h are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole Da. Bite into each. Thereby, the fixing member 6 is fixed to the attachment hole Da. As is apparent from this, a moving mechanism is constituted by the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f.

  Second biting portions 6i and 6j having a plurality of biting teeth that are substantially triangular are formed at the upper ends of the coupling portions 6c and 6d, respectively. The 2nd biting parts 6i and 6j are located above the 1st biting parts 6g and 6h, and are located on the same circumference as the 1st biting parts 6g and 6h. In addition, the second biting portions 6i and 6j are arranged at a distance of approximately 90 ° in the circumferential direction with respect to the first biting portions 6g and 6h so as to face in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first biting portions 6g and 6h. . Since the second biting portions 6i and 6j are arranged on the same circumference as the first biting portions 6g and 6h, when the coupling portions 6c and 6d move away from each other due to elastic deformation, the attachment holes Da I bite into the inner peripheral surface. Moreover, the second biting portions 6i and 6j are fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole Da at a position that is approximately 90 ° away from the first biting portions 6g and 6h in the circumferential direction. As a result, the fixing member 6 is more firmly fixed by the mounting hole Da.

  The auxiliary fixing member 7 is formed by molding resin, and has an abutting portion 7A and a positioning portion 7B that are integrally formed with each other. The contact portions 7A and 7A of the two auxiliary fixing members 7 and 7 are attached to the coupling portions 6c and 6d, respectively, and are inserted into the attachment hole Da together with the fixing member 6. The contact portions 7A and 7A are attached to the coupling portions 6c and 6d so as not to move in the vertical direction. Moreover, one abutting portion 7A is attached to the coupling portion 6c so as not to move leftward, and the other abutting portion 7B is attached to the coupling portion 6d so as not to move rightward. Therefore, when the contact portions 7A and 7B move in a direction away from each other, the coupling portions 6c and 6d are elastically deformed in the same direction accordingly, and the second biting portions 6i and 6j are moved away from each other. . In addition, the contact portions 7A and 7B are arranged so as to be pressed and moved in directions away from each other by the left and right side portions of the cup portion 4a inserted into the attachment hole Da. Therefore, when the cup portion 4a is inserted into the attachment hole Da, the upper end portions of the coupling portions 6c and 6d are moved away from each other, and the second biting portions 6i and 6j bite into the inner peripheral surface of the attachment hole Da. .

  On the outer surface of the contact portion 7A facing the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole Da, a plurality of protrusions 7a extending in an arc shape along the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole Da are formed. When the protrusions 7a are moved so that the contact portions 7A and 7B are separated from each other, they are brought into press contact with the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole Da. Thereby, the attachment strength with respect to the attachment hole Da of the fixing member 6 is further improved. The first biting portions 6g and 6h and the second biting portions 6i and 6j may also have protrusions extending in the circumferential direction of the attachment hole Da.

  The positioning portion 7B exits from the attachment hole Da and is arranged on the outer side in the radial direction. When the fixing member 6 is inserted into the attachment hole Da until the fixing member 6 contacts the bottom surface of the attachment hole Da, the lower surface of the positioning portion 7B substantially contacts the door D. A positioning projection 7b is formed on the lower surface of the positioning portion 7B. The positioning projections 7b and 7b of the positioning portions 7B and 7B are fitted into the positioning holes Db and Db, respectively, so that the door side connecting member 5 is positioned. Since the positioning projection 7b is fitted in the positioning hole Db, the positioning portion 7B cannot move in the front-rear and left-right directions. However, when the abutting portion 7A moves in the left-right direction, the positioning portion 7B is positioned with the abutting portion 7A. Since the portion between the portion 7B is elastically deformed, the movement of the contact portion 7A in the left-right direction is not hindered by the positioning portion 7B.

  The cup portion 4a is connected and fixed to the fixing member 6 as follows. That is, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 18, the engagement plate portion 6k is formed in the first movable plate portion 6e by raising the central portion of the movable plate portion 6e. The engaging plate portion 6k is parallel to the first movable plate portion 6e, and is disposed above the first movable plate portion 6e by substantially the same thickness as the bottom portion 4c of the cup portion 4a. Both front and rear end portions of the engaging plate portion 6k are formed narrow and are bent downward and connected to the first movable plate portion 6e.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the engaging plate portion 6k can be inserted into the through hole 4d of the cup portion 4a from the wide portion 4e. When the engaging plate portion 6k is inserted through the wide portion 4e to the narrow portion 4f, the left and right side portions of the engaging plate portion 6k cooperate with the first movable plate portion 6e to sandwich the bottom portion 4c of the cup portion 4a. To do. Thereby, the center part in the left-right direction of the base end part of the cup part 4a is connected with the fixing member 6 so that it cannot move up and down.

  As shown in FIG. 9 to FIG. 18, standing plate portions 6 l that stand upward are formed at the portions near the distal ends of the left and right side portions of the fixing member 6. Engaging claw portions 6m and 6m projecting so as to approach each other are formed at the upper end portions of the upright plate portions 6l and 6l, respectively. When the cup portion 4a is inserted into the mounting hole Da, the engaging claws 6m and 6m are moved away from each other by abutting against both side portions of the cup portion 4a. Of course, at this time, the upright plate portion 61 is elastically deformed. When the cup part 4a is inserted into the attachment hole Da to the attachment position, the engaging claw part 6m passes through the insertion hole 4h formed in the flange part 4g from the bottom. Then, the upright plate portion 61 is elastically restored and deformed, and the engaging claw portion 6m engages with the upper end portion of the cup portion 4a. Thereby, the right and left side parts of the front-end | tip part of the cup part 4a are connected with the fixing member 6 so that it cannot move upward.

  Here, the cup portion 4a cannot move in the front-rear and left-right directions when the peripheral wall portion 4b hits the mounting hole Da, and the bottom portion 4c hits the bottom surface of the mounting hole Da via the fixing member 6. It is impossible to move downward. Accordingly, when the cup portion 4a is locked so as not to move upward by the engaging plate portion 6k and the locking claw portion 6m, it cannot move in any direction. As a result, the housing side connecting member 4 is connected to the door side connecting member 5, and consequently connected to the door D. In addition, in the state which the frame side connection member 4 was connected with the door side connection member 5, since the auxiliary | assistant fixing member 7 is covered with the flange part 4g, it is not visually recognized from the outside.

  In the hinge device 1 having the above-described configuration, when the door-side connecting member 5 is fixed to the mounting hole Da and the case-side connecting member 4 is connected to the door-side connecting member 5, as shown in FIG. Is inserted into the mounting hole Da and placed on the bottom surface. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the positioning projection 7b is fitted into the positioning recess Db, whereby the direction and posture of the door-side connecting member 5 are uniquely determined. Next, the cup portion 4a is inserted into the attachment hole Da in a state where the cup portion 4a is inclined so as to be parallel to the first movable plate portion 6e. Then, as shown in FIG. 18, when the bottom portion 4c of the cup portion 4a hits the first movable plate portion 6e, the cup portion 4a is moved to the base end side along the first movable plate portion 6e, and the engagement plate portion 6k. Is inserted from the wide portion 4e to the narrow portion 4f of the through hole 4d.

  Then, while rotating so that the front-end | tip part of the cup part 4a may move below, the cup part 4a whole is moved below. Then, the bottom part 4c of the cup part 4a pushes the connecting part of the first and second movable plate parts 6e and 6f downward. As a result, since the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are changed from the inclined state to the horizontal state, the first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b are moved away from each other. Along with this, the first biting portions 6g and 6h move outward in the radial direction of the mounting hole Da and bite into the inner peripheral surface thereof. When the cup portion 4a moves to a predetermined mounting position, the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f become substantially horizontal, and the first biting portions 6g and 6h bite into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole Da to the maximum. Thereby, the door side connection member 5 is fixed to the attachment hole Da.

  Here, when the bottom portion 4c of the cup portion 4a pushes the connecting portion of the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f downward, the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are mutually connected with the connecting portion as a fixed point. It is only displaced in the reverse direction, and the connecting portion hardly moves in the front-rear direction with respect to the bottom portion 4c. Therefore, when the cup part 4a is pressed and moved downward, the frictional resistance hardly occurs. Therefore, the cup part 4a can be easily moved to an attachment position, and the casing side connection member 4 can be easily connected to the door side connection member 5. Even if the connecting portion of the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f moves in the front-rear direction during the pressing movement by the bottom portion 4c, the first biting portions 6g and 6h have the highest biting resistance. Since the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f are substantially horizontal, the force for pressing the cup portion 4a is small. And the connection part of the 1st, 2nd movable board part 6e, 6f hardly moves to the front-back direction. Therefore, also in this case, the cup portion 4a can be easily moved to the mounting position.

  When the cup portion 4a is moved to the mounting position, the second biting portions 6i and 6j bite into the inner peripheral surface of the mounting hole Da. Thereby, the door side connection member 5 is firmly fixed by the attachment hole Da. In addition, since the first biting portions 6g and 6h and the second biting portions 6i and 6j are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the mounting hole Da, particularly in this embodiment, the first biting portions 6g and 6h are substantially in the circumferential direction of the mounting hole Da. Since the first biting portions 6g and 6h are disposed at 90 ° apart from each other and the biting directions of the second biting portions 6i and 6j are substantially orthogonal to each other, the door side connecting member 5 is connected to the first biting portion 6g, The fixing strength can be greatly improved as compared with the case where the fixing hole Da is fixed only by either one of 6h and the second biting portions 6i and 6j.

  When the cup portion 4a reaches the mounting position, the engaging claw portion 6m passes through the insertion hole 4h from below and engages with the upper end portion of the cup portion 4a. By this and the engagement of the engaging plate part 6k with the bottom part 4c, the cup part 4a is connected and fixed to the fixing member 6, and the casing side connecting member 4 is connected and fixed to the door side connecting member 5. Other structures can be adopted as the connection structure between the housing-side connection member 4 and the door-side connection member 5. The housing side connecting member 4 can be detached from the door side connecting member 5 by adopting the reverse procedure to the above after moving the engaging claws 6m, 6m so as to be separated from each other.

  FIG. 19 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the hinge device 1 ′ of this embodiment, the engaging plate portion 6 k and the bottom portion 4 c of the cup portion 4 a with the engaging plate portion 6 k of the fixing member 6 inserted into the narrow portion 4 f from the wide portion 4 e of the through hole 4 d. Are fixed inseparably. As a result, the housing side connecting member 4 and the door side connecting member 5 are integrated so as not to be separated, and the connecting member 8 is constituted by them. Since other configurations are the same as those in the above embodiment, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

  When the connecting member 8 of the hinge device 1 'is inserted and fixed in the mounting hole Da, the connecting member 8 is inserted into the mounting hole Da until the first and second substrate portions 6a and 6b abut against the bottom surface of the mounting hole Da. . Thereafter, the connecting member 8 (fixing member 6) can be fixed to the attachment hole Da by performing the same procedure as in the above embodiment. In the hinge device 1 ′ of this embodiment, the housing side connecting member 4 and the door side connecting member 5 are integrated as a connecting member 8 so as not to be separated, so that the connecting member 8 is easily attached to the mounting hole Da. be able to. Also in the hinge device 1 shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 18, before inserting the housing side connecting member 4 and the door side connecting member 5 into the mounting hole Da, the engaging plate portion 6k is inserted into the narrow portion 4f so that the housing side. The connecting member 4 and the door-side connecting member 5 can be integrated in advance, and the housing-side connecting member 4 and the door-side connecting member 5 can be inserted and fixed in the mounting hole Da in this state.

In addition, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the summary, it can change suitably.
For example, in the above embodiment, the two first biting portions (biting portions) 6g and 6h are formed corresponding to the first and second movable plate portions 6e and 6f, but the biting portions 6g and 6h. Only one of them may be formed.
In the above embodiment, the first and second movable plates 6e and 6f are integrally formed, but one end portions of the first and second movable plates 6e and 6f are separated from each other and separated. The end portions thus made may be pivotally connected by a shaft body. The same applies to the first movable plate portion 6e and the first substrate portion 6a, and the same applies to the second movable plate portion 6f and the second substrate portion 6b.
