Description

  The present invention relates to a flap hinge and a storage body having a flap hinge, and in particular, the door body is prevented from abruptly opening and closing with respect to the storage body. The present invention relates to a flap hinge suitable for a sink cabinet or the like having a flexible storage structure and a storage body including the flap hinge.

In general, when a door body (front plate, curtain plate) such as furniture, cupboard, hanging door, sink cabinet, etc. is attached to the front of the storage body, a hinge (hinge) is provided between the main body of the storage body and the door body. ) And the door body is attached to the front surface of the storage body via a hinge.
As a hinge for attaching the door body to this type of storage body, a hinge provided with a damper on the hinge so that the door body does not suddenly close to the storage body and makes a loud noise or fingers are pinched, A so-called flap hinge, a hinge called a slide hinge or the like may be used.

Here, such a flap hinge may be provided with a damper as a means for gently restricting the opening and closing of the hinge inside the hinge structure.
By providing the damper, the damper is controlled so that the hinge is not suddenly opened and closed by the damping and damping force of the damper, and as a result, the opening and closing of the door attached to the storage body via the flap hinge is also gentle due to the cushioning property of the damper Open / close operations are performed.
As a technique regarding the flap hinge provided with this kind of damper, there exist some which are indicated by patent documents 1, 2, for example.

However, the flap hinge provided with the damper as described above has a damper that acts only in the direction in which the door is closed (the closing direction) in consideration of mitigating / absorbing the sudden movement when the door is closed. I was supposed to.
For this reason, the buffering / damping action of the damper does not work in the direction in which the door body is opened, and depending on the door body, the door may be opened vigorously or the opening speed may be too high.

For example, in the case of a kitchen cabinet, a storage structure such as accessory storage or knife insertion that can store small items and knives may be provided inside (inner surface) of the door body. In such a door body, the storage structure itself In addition to the weight of the door, the weight of the small articles and knives to be stored will be applied to the door body.
For this reason, when opening the door body, the door body may open vigorously depending on the storage structure and the weight of the storage object, the opening speed may become too fast, the storage object may be displaced or dropped, There was a possibility of bumping hands with excessive momentum.

Here, with respect to such a problem, it is conceivable to provide a damper in which a buffering force and a damping force act in the opening direction of the door and the unfolding direction of the hinge.
In this regard, for example, in Patent Document 3, the hinge structure of the lifting and lowering storage device is provided with a plurality of damper means such as a spiral spring in addition to the cylindrical damper, so that both the door body opening direction and the closing direction are provided. In addition, proposals have been made that allow a damper to have a buffering / damping effect.
However, when a plurality of dampers acting in both directions are provided, as is apparent from the description of Patent Document 3, including a plurality of dampers and a link mechanism and a hinge for supporting and operating the dampers, There was a problem that the entire hinge structure was very complicated and large.

Flap hinges applied to furniture, cupboards, hanging doors, sink cabinets, etc., ensure smooth and safe opening and closing of doors and maximize the original storage space of cabinets and other storage units. Therefore, there is a strong demand for miniaturization and simplification of the hinge structure itself.
For this reason, conventional flap hinges are configured to be as small and simple as possible, and the hinges proposed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are also very small and simple. Yes.

Therefore, in order to prevent the door body from opening abruptly, even if a damper structure that also acts in the direction in which the hinge is deployed is provided, Even if it is applied to a cabinet or the like, the hinge structure itself occupies and erodes a large amount of the storage space, which lowers the original storage function and storage capacity of the storage body. Further, such a large and complicated damper or link mechanism may be exposed when the door body is opened and closed, and the aesthetics of the storage state may be impaired, or fingers may be pinched by the complicated link mechanism.
For this reason, it has been difficult or impossible in practice to employ the damper structure as disclosed in the cited document 3 as the damper of the flap hinge.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. The damper is configured to apply a buffering / damping force by the damper in both a closing direction and an opening direction of the door body attached to the storage body so as to be opened and closed. The entire hinge structure including the door can be made small and simple, and the door can be prevented from suddenly opening and closing, and the door can be opened and closed safely and smoothly. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flap hinge and a storage body equipped with a flap hinge that are excellent in reliability and safety, without impairing the storage function and aesthetics, and without the danger of being caught by fingers and the like. .

The first damper for buffering / damping the rotation of the link and the movement of the mounting bracket are buffered / damped so that the movement of the mounting bracket becomes slow when the mounting bracket is moved in the unfolding direction. A second damper, and the link does not unfold beyond a predetermined angle with respect to the base and the first link that rotatably connects the base and the mounting bracket. A second link that regulates the first damper when the first link is moved in a direction in which the mounting bracket is folded. A first abutting portion that abuts and presses the first damper, and when the mounting bracket is moved in a deploying direction, abuts on the second damper and presses the second damper. And a second contact portion .
Further, the storage body according to the present invention is a storage body comprising a main body constituting the storage body, a door body attached to the main body so as to be openable and closable, and a flap hinge for attaching the door body to the main body so as to be openable and closable. The flap hinge is configured by the flap hinge according to the present invention.

According to the flap hinge and the storage body provided with the flap hinge of the present invention, while functioning the buffering / damping action by the damper with respect to both the closing direction and the opening direction of the door body attached to the storage body in an openable / closable manner, The entire hinge structure including the damper can be made small and simple.
As a result, the door body can be prevented from being suddenly opened and closed, and a safe and smooth opening and closing operation of the door body can be realized. A flap hinge with excellent reliability and safety without danger of being pinched can be realized.

As shown in these drawings, the flap hinge 10 includes a base 11 serving as a hinge-structured body (substrate), a mounting bracket 12, a mounting bracket 13, links 14 (15, 16), a tension spring 17, a gap plate 18, The damper 19 (19a, 19b) and the cover 20 are provided.
The base 11 is a base member attached to the cabinet 1 side serving as a storage body. In this embodiment, the base 11 made of a plate-like member made of metal or the like is provided on the inner side surfaces at the left and right ends of the front opening of the cabinet 1. It is attached and fixed. The base 11 serves as a substrate so that the components constituting the flap hinge 10 can be assembled together.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a through hole for screwing is formed at a predetermined position of the base 11, and the inner surface of the opening of the cabinet 1 (see FIG. 2) by screws, nails or the like not shown. ) To be fixed.

The mounting bracket 12 is a member attached to the door 2 side of the cabinet 1. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 12 made of a plate-like member made of metal or the like is fixed to the door 2 via the mounting bracket 13. It has become.
The mounting bracket 12 is provided with a mounting surface to which the mounting bracket 13 is fixed by screwing. A notch 12a that engages with the mounting bracket 13 and a protrusion that projects into the notch 12a are provided on the mounting surface. A portion 12b is provided.
Further, the end of the mounting bracket 12 extending toward the cabinet 1 is a curved portion 12c that is extended and extended so as to minimize the gap with the cover 20 described later. The base 11 is rotatably connected to the base 11 via the links 14 (15, 16).

The mounting bracket 13 is a member that is detachably mounted on the mounting surface of the mounting bracket 12, and the mounting bracket 12 is mounted on the door 2 side via the mounting bracket 13.
In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 13 is made of a metal-like plate-like member formed in an L shape, and as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, one side (short side) of the L shape is a mounting bracket. While being locked and positioned on the protrusion 12b (see FIGS. 7, 9, and 10) in the notch 12a formed on the mounting surface on the 12 side, it is fixed with screws and the other side of the L shape (long side) Side) is fixed to the inner surface of the door 2 with screws.
Specifically, the short piece fixed to the mounting surface of the mounting bracket 12 of the mounting bracket 13 has a through-hole for screwing that is screwed to the mounting bracket 12 side. Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, through holes for screwing are formed at predetermined locations, and are fixed to the inner surface of the door 2 by screws, nails or the like not shown.

Further, the short-side end portion of the mounting bracket 13 is a bent portion 13a that is bent at a substantially right angle in a bowl shape, and a notch 13b into which the protruding portion 12b of the mounting bracket 12 is inserted and engaged with the bent portion 13a. (See FIGS. 7, 9, and 10).
As a result, the bent portion 13a of the mounting bracket 13 is locked to the notch 12a on the mounting bracket 12 side, and the protrusion 12b on the mounting bracket 12 side is engaged with the notch 13b on the mounting bracket 13, whereby the mounting bracket 13 is engaged. Is positioned at a predetermined position with respect to the mounting bracket 12, so that the mounting operation can be performed easily and accurately.
Further, the mounting bracket 13 has a notch 13b formed at the base portion of the bent portion 13a formed by bending the edge on the cabinet 1 side, and when the notch 13b is engaged with the protruding portion 12b of the mounting bracket 12. The bent portion 13a of the mounting bracket 13 is positioned and engaged with the mounting surface of the mounting bracket 12 on the cabinet 1 side, and the connection is maintained.

Thus, the mounting bracket 12 is attached to the door 2 via the mounting bracket 13 fixed to the inner surface of the door 2.
Since the mounting bracket 12 is fixed to the door 2 via the mounting bracket 13, when the flap hinge 10 is mounted to the cabinet 1 and the door 2, the base 11 including the mounting bracket 12 and the mounting bracket 13 are respectively connected to the cabinet. After separately attaching to the 1 side and the door 2 side, the mounting bracket 13 is attached to the mounting bracket 12, whereby the cabinet 1 and the door 2 can be assembled, and the assembly work can be easily performed (see FIGS. 9 to 11). ).

Further, the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 are positioned and held by engaging the bent portion 13a and the notch 12a, and the notch 13b and the protruding portion 12b, so that the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 are mounted. Even in a state where the fixing with the screw 12 is not performed, the mounting of the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 can be prevented from easily falling off (see FIGS. 9 to 11).
As a result, even if the screws of the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 are removed, the mounting of the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 does not easily fall off, and the door 2 falls off / drops from the cabinet. It becomes possible to avoid the risk of equality.

The link 14 is a member that is rotatably attached to the base 11 and the mounting bracket 12, and functions as a link unit that connects the mounting bracket 12 to the base 11 so that the mounting bracket 12 can be folded and expanded at a predetermined angle.
Specifically, the link 14 restricts the first bracket 15 that rotatably connects the base 11 and the mounting bracket 12 and the mounting bracket 12 so as not to expand beyond a predetermined angle with respect to the base 11. It consists of a second link 16.
The first and second links 15 and 16 are formed by, for example, a metal plate-like member or a rod-like member that rotatably connects the base 11 and the mounting bracket 12.

The first link 15 is rotatably connected to the lower end side of the base 11 at one end and is rotatably connected to the lower end side of the mounting bracket 12 at the other end.
As a result, the mounting bracket 12 can be folded and unfolded on the base 11 with the connecting portion of the first link 15 as a fulcrum (see FIG. 5).
The second link 16 is rotatably connected to the upper end side of the base 11 at one end, and is rotatably connected to the vicinity of the upper part of the connecting portion of the first link 15 of the mounting bracket 12 at the other end. By providing the second link 16, when the mounting bracket 12 is deployed, the second link 16 and the first link 15 abut and interfere with each other at the connecting position on the mounting bracket 12 side. The first and second links 15 and 16 are regulated so as not to rotate any more. As a result, the mounting bracket 12 that can be rotated by the first link 15 has a second rotation range. The link 16 is restricted so as not to expand beyond a predetermined angle with respect to the base 11 (see FIG. 5).

Here, in the present embodiment, the length of the first and second links 15 and 16 is set so that the deployment angle of the mounting bracket 12 is about 50 degrees at the maximum with respect to the base 11 (see FIG. 5C). Is set.
Therefore, by changing the lengths of the first and second links 15 and 16, the deployment angle of the mounting bracket 12 with respect to the base 11 can be changed and adjusted.
And among the links 14 having the first and second links 15 and 16 as described above, the tension spring 17 is constructed and stretched between the first link 15 and the mounting bracket 12. It has become.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tension spring 17 is an urging means that is installed between the mounting bracket 12 and the link 14. First, when the mounting bracket 12 is folded to the base 11 side, the tension spring 7 urges (pulls) the mounting bracket 12 in the direction in which the mounting bracket 12 is folded to the base 11 via the link 14, thereby causing the mounting bracket 12 to move to the base 11. Hold in a folded state.
Further, when the mounting bracket 12 is expanded with respect to the base 11, the tension spring 7 holds the mounting bracket 12 in a state where it is expanded with respect to the base 11 at a predetermined angle.

Specifically, the tension spring 17 is attached (hanged) near the lower side of the connecting portion of the first link 15 on the base 11 side and near the connecting portion of the first link 15 of the mounting bracket 12. The urging force is acting in the direction of always pulling between the two mounting positions.
6A and 6B show the relationship between the link 14 (15, 16) of the flap hinge 10, the mounting bracket 12, and the tension spring 17 according to the present embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the mounting bracket 12 is held in a state where it is expanded to the maximum angle due to the positional relationship of the hook positions of the first link 15 and the second link 16, the mounting bracket 12, and the tension spring 17. (See FIG. 6).

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6A, the connecting portion between the first link 15 and the mounting bracket 12 is a base axis P, and both ends of the tension spring 17 are sandwiched around the base axis P. The hooking positions S1 and S2 that are the connecting portions between the first link 15 and the mounting bracket 12 are set.
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the deployment angle of the base 11 and the mounting bracket 12 (mounting bracket 13) is about 32 degrees, the first link 15 on both ends of the tension spring 17 with the base axis P as the center, The centers of the hooking positions S1 and S2 that become the connecting portion of the connecting portion and the mounting bracket 12 are in a straight line so that the forces are balanced (see FIGS. 5B and 6A).
Therefore, in this state where the developed angle is about 32 degrees, the rotation moment about the origin axis P does not work, and the force of the tension spring 7 trying to rotate on the line is not transmitted to the links 15, 16. (Balanced) state.

On the other hand, when the development angle is about 32 degrees or less, since the base point axis P is on the lower side with respect to the line of the both-side hook positions S1 and S2 of the tension spring 7, a rotational moment acts in the closing direction, The mounting bracket 12 (mounting bracket 13) is biased / pulled toward the base 11 and moves in the direction of folding.
On the other hand, when the expansion angle is about 32 degrees or more, since the base axis P is on the upper side with respect to the line of the both-side hook positions S1 and S2 of the tension spring 17, a rotational moment acts in the opening direction, and the mounting bracket 12 ( The mounting bracket 13) is biased / pulled to the side opposite to the base 11, and moves in the direction of deployment.
Due to the urging force of the tension spring 17 and the action of the base point axis P of the links 15 and 16, the mounting bracket 12 is moved and held in a state where it is folded with respect to the base 11 and deployed at a predetermined angle. The door 2 can be unfolded at a predetermined angle with respect to 1 and operates so as to be smoothly closed (see FIG. 5).

The link 14 that is expanded and folded at a predetermined angle as described above is buffered and damped by a damper 19 (19a, 19b) to be described later. The door 2 is rotated and opened and closed smoothly.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper end edge of the first link 15 of the link 14 is in contact with the damper 19 (19a, 19b), specifically, the first and second contacts. The contact portions 15a and 15b are formed, and the contact portions 15a and 15b are brought into contact with and pressed against the corresponding dampers 19a and 19b, so that the rotation operation of the link 14 is buffered and attenuated.

More specifically, when the first contact portion 15a is moved in the direction in which the mounting bracket 12 is folded, the first contact portion 15a contacts the corresponding first damper 19a and presses the first damper 19a. Works.
On the other hand, when the second abutting portion 15b is moved in the direction in which the mounting bracket 12 is deployed, the second abutting portion 15b abuts on the corresponding second damper 19b and acts to press the second damper 19b.
As a result, the first and second contact portions 15a and 15b of the first link 15 are contacted and pressed by the corresponding dampers 19a and 19b, and the pivoting operation of the link 14 is buffered and attenuated. .
The buffering / damping action by the damper 19 will be further described later.

The first and second links 15 and 16 that are expanded and folded as described above are arranged between the door 2 and the cabinet 1 that are opened and closed in the process in which the mounting bracket 12 is folded with respect to the base 11. In addition, the gap between the first and second links 15 and 16 is blocked so as not to be exposed.
Specifically, as a shielding means for closing a gap between the first link 15 and the second link 16 that protrudes and protrudes between the door 2 and the cabinet 1 in a state in which the mounting bracket 12 is expanded and opened / closed. A gap plate 18 is provided.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are perspective views showing functions of the gap plate 18 provided in the flap hinge 10 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7A shows a case where the gap plate is provided. Indicates a case where no gap plate is provided.
As shown in the figure, the gap plate 18 is composed of a plate-like member disposed between the second link 16 and the base 11, and a plate-like member having substantially the same length as the second link 16 is formed. The second link 16 is disposed in a stacked state.

The gap plate 18 is pivotally connected to the base 11 at the upper end side together with the second link 16, and the lower end side is not fixed as a free end.
Then, when the mounting bracket 12 is deployed from the base 11 side, the gap plate 18 arranged in this way moves and unfolds in accordance with the unfolding operation of the second link 16 disposed in an overlapping manner. As shown in FIG. 7 (a), it protrudes and is exposed so as to close the gap between the first link 15 and the second link 16.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that a clearance gap may not be made as much as possible between the mounting bracket 12 and the cover 20 which are expanded and folded by the first and second links 15 and 16.
Specifically, as described above, the end of the mounting bracket 12 that extends toward the cabinet 1 is a curved portion 12c that is extended and extended so as to bend toward the cover 20.
FIG. 7C shows a state in which there is almost no gap between the mounting bracket 12 and the cover 20 due to the curved portion 12c.

As shown in the figure, the end of the mounting bracket 12 on the cabinet 1 side is formed to be curved and extended as a curved portion 12c.
The curved portion 12c is formed in a curved shape along the rotation / deployment direction of the mounting bracket 12, and even when the mounting bracket 12 is rotated, the surface thereof does not abut / buffer against the cover 20, and The cover 20 extends along the moving direction of the mounting bracket 12 so that the inside of the cover 20 is not exposed.
By providing such a curved portion 12c, even when the mounting bracket 12 is expanded from the folded state to the expanded state, even when the mounting bracket 12 is expanded to the maximum angle, the curved portion 12c extending to the cover 20 side causes the cover 20 and A gap between the mounting brackets 12 is blocked by the curved portion 12c.

As described above, in the present embodiment, by providing the gap plate 18 first, the first and second links 15 and 16 have the base 11 side fixed to the cabinet 10 in a state where the mounting bracket 12 is unfolded. It is covered and hidden by the gap plate 18. Therefore, when the door 2 is opened and closed with respect to the cabinet 1, the gap between the first and second links 15 and 16 is hidden by the gap plate 18 so as not to be exposed between the door 2 and the cabinet 1. Thus, even if the first and second links 15 and 16 are rotated, the user's fingers are not sandwiched there, and the door 2 can be opened and closed safely.
Further, by providing the mounting bracket 12 with the curved portion 12c extending toward the cover 20, the gap between the cover 20 and the mounting bracket 12 is blocked by the curved portion 12c as much as possible between the cover 20 and the mounting bracket 12. It is possible to prevent a gap from being generated, and it is possible to prevent or prevent a finger or the like from being caught there.

The damper 19 is a buffering / damping means for buffering / damping the rotation of the link 14 so that the movement of the mounting bracket 12 becomes gentle as the mounting bracket 12 attached to the door 2 is expanded and folded.
The damper 19 includes, for example, a linear damper having a housing part and a piston rod movable relative to the housing part, and the movement of the piston rod relative to the housing part is buffered and attenuated by fluid and gas pressure. .

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the damper 19 includes two independent damper means, a first damper 19a and a second damper 19b.
These two dampers 19a and 19b are composed of two damper means arranged in parallel along the height direction (vertical direction and vertical direction) of the cabinet 1 and the door 2, respectively. A damper 19a is arranged on the door 2 side, and a second damper 19b is fixed and held inside the cover 20.

When the first damper 19a is moved in the direction in which the mounting bracket 12 is folded, the first damper 19a abuts on the first abutting portion 15a of the first link 15 described above, so that the mounting bracket 12 is folded in the direction. It acts to buffer and damp the rotation of the link so that the movement is slow.
When the second damper 19b is moved in the direction in which the mounting bracket 12 is deployed, the second damper 19b is brought into contact with the second abutting portion 15b of the first link 15, thereby moving the mounting bracket 12 in the direction in which the mounting bracket 12 is deployed. It acts to buffer and damp the rotation of the link so that the movement is slow.

The first and second dampers 19a and 19b are positioned and fixed at predetermined positions on the base 11 side via the cover 20, and one end of each damper 19a and 19b is connected to the corresponding first link 15. It abuts and interferes with the end portions, that is, the first contact portion 15a and the second contact portion 15b.
As a result, the rotation of the first link 15 is regulated by the buffering force (damping force) of the damper 19, and the rotation of the first link 15 is gently performed, and the mounting bracket 12 and the door 2 are opened and closed. The operation is regulated and attenuated by the damper 19.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the base 11 is provided with a cover 20 as a cover member attached so as to cover the entire base 11. The inner wall surface of 20 is formed with recesses and ribs that house, position, and fix the two dampers 19a and 19b of the damper 19, respectively.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the two dampers 19a and 19b are each partitioned by a cover inner wall and ribs inside the cover 20, so that the dampers 19a and 19b are shaken, rattled or interfere with each other. It will be firmly held and positioned so that it will not fall.

Thus, the damper 19 positioned by the cover 20 is such that the first damper 19a is connected at one end side (the end portion on the housing portion side in this embodiment) to the base 11 of the first link 15. It is in contact with the first contact portion 15a which is the end of the first contact portion 15a, and acts to gently buffer and attenuate the force pressed by the first contact portion 15a. Similarly, as for the 2nd damper 19b, one end side (housing part side edge part) contact | abuts with the 2nd contact part 15b which is an edge part in the connection part with the base 11 of the 1st link 15, The force pressed by the second contact portion 15b acts so as to gently buffer and attenuate (see FIG. 6).
As a result, the dampers 19a and 19b are respectively sandwiched between the inner wall of the cover 20 and the end of the link 14, and are attached when the mounting bracket 12 is moved in the folded direction and in the deployed direction. The rotation of the link 14 is buffered and attenuated so that the bracket 12 moves slowly.

More specifically, in the present embodiment, as described above, the biasing direction switching angle of the link 14 by the tension spring 17 is when the deployed angle of the base 11 and the mounting bracket 12 (mounting bracket 13) is about 32 degrees. Position (see FIG. 5).
In the case of an angle smaller than the position where the deployment angle is about 32 degrees, the first damper 19a is pulled from the position where the link 14 is pulled by the tension spring 17 in the closing direction and the deployment angle becomes about 20 degrees. The speed at which the link 14 is closed by being pressed and compressed by the first contact portion 15a is decelerated.
On the other hand, when the expansion angle is about 32 degrees or more, the second damper is moved from the position where the link 14 is pulled by the tension spring 17 in the opening direction and the expansion angle becomes about 33 degrees. 19b is pressed and compressed by the second contact portion 15b, and the speed at which the link 14 opens is reduced.

As described above, by providing the two dampers 19a and 19b, the rotational movement of the link 14 is buffered and attenuated in two directions by the dampers 19a and 19b, and is moved in the direction in which the mounting bracket 12 is folded and deployed. When this occurs, the buffering force of the damper 19 works.
As a result, the damping force of the damper 19 acts on the direction in which the mounting bracket 12 is closed, that is, the direction in which the door 2 is closed on the cabinet 1 side, and the operation is regulated so that the door 2 is not suddenly closed. In addition, the damping force of the damper 19 acts on the direction in which the door 2 is opened from the cabinet 1 side, and the operation is restricted so that the door 2 is not opened suddenly. become.

Therefore, when the door 2 is opened and closed with respect to the cabinet 1, the door 2 is opened and closed gently by the damping force of the damper 19, and in this state, as described above, the first and second links 15, Since 16 is covered with the gap plate 18, when the door 2 is opened and closed, the user is not pinched by the links 15, 16 and the door 2, so that the door 2 can be opened and closed with peace of mind. Become.
Further, in the present embodiment, the dampers 19a and 19b are sandwiched between the base 11 and the link 14 only by being housed and arranged in a positioning recess or rib formed on the inner surface of the cover 20. It comes to be fixed with. Accordingly, the damper 19 itself does not need to be fixed or connected to any part, the configuration of the entire flap hinge 10 is not complicated, and the installation, assembly, replacement, etc. of the damper 19 are extremely easy. Will be able to do.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the cover 20 is a cover member provided so as to cover one side of the base 11 where the link 14 and the mounting bracket 12 are connected, and is fixed to the base 11 by screwing or the like. It has become.
The cover 20 is provided with a housing space for positioning and holding the above-described damper 19 at a predetermined position on the inner surface side of the cover, and a boss into which a screw or the like penetrating the base 11 is screwed.
The base 11 to which the cover 20 is attached comes to be screwed and fixed to the cabinet 1 side with screws inserted from the outside of the cover 20 passing through the through holes of the base 11 (see FIG. 2). ).

[Opening and closing operation]
Next, the opening / closing operation | movement of the door 2 of the cabinet 1 provided with the flap hinge 10 which concerns on this embodiment which consists of the above structures is demonstrated, referring FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 5A, in a state where the door 2 is closed with respect to the cabinet 1, the links 15 and 16 are folded to the base 11 side and stored together with the mounting bracket 12 in the base 11. .
In this state, the tension spring 17 biases the mounting bracket 12 and the links 15 and 16 toward the base 11, and the door 2 is kept closed with respect to the cabinet 1.
At this time, the door 2 and the cabinet 1 are in contact with each other via a cushion material 1a disposed at the peripheral edge of the cabinet opening.

When the door 2 is opened from this state, the mounting bracket 12 fixed to the door 2 via the links 15 and 16 rotates as shown in FIG.
At this time, since the tension spring 17 urges the mounting bracket 12 and the links 15 and 16 to pull toward the base 11, the door 2 is gently deployed without being suddenly opened.
In this unfolding process, the gap plate 18 rotates and moves with the unfolding operation of the second link 16, and as shown in FIGS. 7 (a), 7 (b) and 8 (b), A gap between the one link 15 and the second link 16 is closed by the gap plate 18. Therefore, the links 15 and 16 are covered and hidden so as not to be exposed between the door 2 and the cabinet 1. Further, the gap between the cover 20 and the mounting bracket 12 is also blocked by the curved portion 12c of the mounting bracket 12, and the rotation / movement of the mounting bracket 12 is between the cover 20 and the mounting bracket 12. There is almost no gap over the range.

When the door 2 is unfolded, and the unfolding angle of the base 11 and the mounting bracket 12 (mounting bracket 13), which is an angle for switching the urging direction of the link 14 by the tension spring 17, is approximately 32 degrees (see FIGS. If (a) is exceeded, the link 14 is pulled by the tension spring 17 in the opening direction.
However, the second damper 19b is pressed and compressed by the second contact portion 15b from the position where the deployment angle is about 33 degrees, and the buffering / damping force by the second damper 19b acts on the first link 15. Then, the speed at which the link 14 opens is reduced.
As a result, the buffering force (damping force) of the second damper 19b acts on the end portion (second contact portion 15b) of the first link 15, and the door 2 is gently expanded without suddenly opening. It becomes like this.

When the door 2 is further expanded, the links 15 and 16 are further rotated as shown in FIG. 5 (c), and at the connection position on the mounting bracket 12 side at the maximum expansion angle (about 50 degrees) position. The second link 16 and the first link 15 contact and interfere with each other. As a result, the first and second links 15 and 16 are regulated and held so as not to rotate any further.
Further, in this state, the mounting bracket 12 is held in an unfolded state due to the positional relationship of the hook positions of the first link 15 and the second link 16, the mounting bracket 12, and the tension spring 17. It has become. FIG. 6B shows the state of the tension spring 17 at this time.
Therefore, the door 2 is held so as not to expand beyond a predetermined deployment angle (about 50 degrees in the present embodiment), and the door 2 is deployed and held at a predetermined angle, thereby allowing access to the inside of the cabinet 1. For example, since the door 2 is held in a state where it is opened at a predetermined angle, it is possible to easily put in and out the stored items in the accessory storage 3 disposed on the inner surface of the door 2 (see FIG. 1).

When closing the deployed door 2, the state shown in FIG. 5 (a) is changed from the state shown in FIG. 5 (c) to the state shown in FIG. 5 (b).
That is, when the door 2 is closed and the expansion angle of the base 11 and the mounting bracket 12 (mounting bracket 13), which is the switching direction of the urging direction of the link 14 by the tension spring 17, is approximately 32 degrees (FIG. 5B, When exceeding (see FIG. 6A), the link 14 is pulled by the tension spring 17 in the closing direction.
However, the first damper 19a is pressed and compressed by the first contact portion 15a from the position where the deployment angle is about 20 degrees, and the buffering / damping force by the first damper 19a acts on the first link 15. Thus, the speed at which the link 14 closes is reduced.
Thereby, the buffering force (damping force) of the first damper 19a acts on the end portion (first contact portion 15a) of the first link 15, so that the door 2 is gently closed without being suddenly closed. become.

In the process of closing the door 2, the gap between the first link 15 and the second link 16 is blocked by the gap plate 18, and the links 15 and 16 are connected to the door 2 and the cabinet 1. Covered so as not to be exposed in between. In addition, the gap between the cover 20 and the mounting bracket 12 is also blocked by the curved portion 12c of the mounting bracket 12, and in the process of closing the door 2, the gap between the cover 20 and the mounting bracket 12 is almost the same. There will be no gaps.
In this way, even when the door 2 is closed to the cabinet 1, the door 2 is gently closed by the damping force of the damper 19, and the first and second links 15, 16 are in that state. Is covered with the gap plate 18, so that when the door 2 is closed, the user is not pinched between the links 15, 16, the door 2, the cover 20 and the mounting bracket 12. The door 2 can be opened and closed.

FIG. 8 compares this state with a conventional cabinet.
FIG. 8A shows a relation between a cabinet 1 ′ and a door 2 ′ provided with a conventional flap hinge and stay, and FIG. 8B shows a relationship between the cabinet 1 provided with a flap hinge 10 according to this embodiment and the door 2. .
In general, among storage bodies having an openable / closable door, for example, a sink cabinet may be provided with a storage structure such as accessory storage or knife insertion on the inner surface of the door. In the case of the provided cabinet or the like, the door body is attached so as not to expand more than a predetermined angle (for example, about 50 degrees) with respect to the storage body in order to smoothly put in and out the storage items. .
In order to prevent such a door body from being unfolded more than a predetermined angle with respect to the storage body, conventionally, in order to regulate the deployment angle of the door body between the storage body and the door body attached via a flap hinge. In general, an auxiliary member such as a stay is provided (see FIG. 8A).

As shown in FIG. 8, this type of stay for restricting the deployment angle of the door body is composed of a bi-fold arm or the like that is rotatably mounted between the storage body and the door body. In this state, the door body is closed with respect to the storage body, and the folding body is expanded, and the door body is expanded with respect to the storage body at a predetermined angle by the length of the arm. The above will be regulated so as not to be deployed.
However, when this type of stay is used to regulate the opening angle of the door body, the bi-fold arm that constitutes the stay is located between the storage body and the door body. There was a risk of pinching fingers.

This is because even if the door is gently closed by the flap hinge, the arm that is folded in half is exposed between the door and the storage body, and the interval between the arms that are folded is gradually reduced. Therefore, there was a high risk that children and the like could pinch their fingers into the arm due to carelessness, leading to serious injury.
In addition, the double-folded arm stay located between the storage body and the door body is exposed between the storage body and the door body every time the door body is opened and closed. It was not preferable.
Furthermore, there is a drawback that the number of parts and the assembling process are increased by the amount of such auxiliary members such as stays.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), in the conventional cabinet 1 ′, the maximum deployment angle of the door 2 ′ cannot be regulated only by the hinge, and therefore a stay for regulating the deployment angle of the door 2 ′ is provided. ing. For this reason, between the cabinet 1 ′ and the door 2 ′, the two-folded arm constituting the stay is largely exposed, and the two-folded arm is connected to the cabinet 1 ′ in accordance with the opening / closing operation of the door 2 ′. Since the folding operation is repeated between the doors 2 ', there is a high risk of fingers being caught in the arms that are bent when the door 2' is closed.

On the other hand, in the cabinet 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the door 2 moves gently without suddenly closing due to the action of the damper 19, and in this state, The links 15 and 16 of the flap hinge 10 located between the door 2 and the cabinet 1 (the area indicated by the dots in the figure) are covered with a gap plate 18 so that the gap between the links 15 and 15 is not exposed. . Accordingly, in the process in which the door 2 is closed, the fingers of the user are not caught between the links 15 and 16 and the door 2.
Therefore, the user can open and close the door 2 with peace of mind.

[Mounting method and mounting prevention function of mounting bracket]

Let
Next, from this state, as shown in FIG. 9B, the mounting bracket 13 is moved to the end surface side of the mounting bracket 12 with the protrusion 12b and the notch 13b as fulcrums, and the mounting bracket 13 is attached to the short piece. The metal fitting 13 is brought into contact with and brought into contact with the mounting surface of the mounting bracket 12 in a surface contact state.
Further, from this state, as shown in FIG. 9 (c), a fixing screw is screwed into a screw hole formed in the end face of the mounting bracket 12 through a through hole formed in the short piece of the mounting bracket 13. And fix.

Thereby, the mounting operation of the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 is completed, and the mounting bracket 13 is firmly fixed to the mounting bracket 12.
Thus, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 12 of the flap hinge 10 is fixed to the door 2 via the mounting bracket 13, and when the flap hinge 10 is attached to the cabinet 1 and the door 2, the mounting bracket After the base 11 including the base plate 12 and the mounting bracket 13 are separately mounted on the cabinet 1 side and the door 2 side, respectively, the mounting bracket 13 is mounted on the mounting bracket 12 so that the cabinet 1 and the door 2 can be assembled. Work can be done easily.
Further, as described above, the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 are positioned and held by the engagement of the bent portion 13a and the notch 12a, and the notch 13b and the protruding portion 12b. Even in the state where the mounting bracket 12 is not screwed and fixed, the mounting of the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 can be prevented from easily falling off.

FIG. 11 shows a side view for explaining a state in which the mounting bracket and the mounting bracket of the flap hinge according to the present embodiment are not screwed. This figure corresponds to the state shown in FIGS. 9B and 10B described above.
As shown in this figure, the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 include a bent portion 13a on the mounting bracket 13 side and a notch 12a on the mounting bracket 12 side, and a notch 13b on the mounting bracket 13 side and a projection on the mounting bracket 12 side. Since the portion 12b is inserted and engaged with each other, the connection between the bent portion 13a and the notch 12a and the engagement portion between the notch 13b and the protruding portion 12b is maintained.

In particular, the bent portion 13a of the mounting bracket 13 is formed such that the end edge on the cabinet 1 side is bent at a substantially right angle with a bowl shape, and is engaged and engaged with the opening edge portion of the notch 12a on the mounting bracket 12 side. ing. Further, the notch 13b of the mounting bracket 13 is notched in the bent portion 13a.
Therefore, when the bent portion 13a of the mounting bracket 13 is engaged with the notch 12a of the mounting bracket 12 and the notch 13b of the mounting bracket 13 is engaged with the protrusion 12b of the mounting bracket 12, the mounting bracket 13 The bent portion is engaged with and hooked to the edge of the notch 12a of the mounting bracket 12 on the cabinet 1 side.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 11, even if the door 2 is opened and closed when the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 are not fixed with screws, the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 are immediately connected. The bent portion 13a on the mounting bracket 13 side and the notch 12a on the mounting bracket 12 side, and the notch 13b on the mounting bracket 13 side and the protruding portion 12b on the mounting bracket 12 side are maintained. .
Therefore, even when the screws of the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 are removed, the mounting of the mounting bracket 13 and the mounting bracket 12 does not easily fall off, and the door 2 is dropped or dropped from the cabinet. Therefore, the user can use the cabinet 1 with peace of mind.

As described above, according to the flap hinge 10 according to the present embodiment and the storage body 1 provided with the flap hinge 10, the door 2 is attached to the storage body 1 through the flap hinge 10 so as to be opened and closed. Thus, it is possible to prevent the door 2 from being suddenly opened or closed, and to restrict the deployment angle of the door body only by the flap hinge 10.
Further, the flap hinge 10 according to the present embodiment is not exposed between the door 2 and the storage body 1 that are opened and closed by the links 14 (15, 16) constituting the hinge mechanism being hidden by the gap plate 18, and Since a conventional means such as a stay for regulating and maintaining the door opening angle is not required, there is no risk of pinching fingers and the door 2 can be opened and closed smoothly and safely. Become.

Further, according to the flap hinge 10 of the present embodiment that does not require a stay or the like as in the prior art, the stay or the like that maintains the deployment angle is not exposed when the door 2 is opened and closed, and the container 1 during the opening and closing operation. Can improve the aesthetics.
Furthermore, the flap hinge 10 according to the present embodiment that does not require a stay or the like for regulating the deployment angle of the door 2 can suppress an increase in the number of parts and can be reduced in the number of steps for mounting and assembling the housing 1 and the door 2. Thus, a storage body with a flap hinge can be manufactured easily and at low cost.
