The invention relates to the technical field of hinges, and particularly relates to an anti-deformation preventing hinge with a preload adjustment function.
A hinge is mainly used for the opening or closing connection of a furniture board, and comprises an outer fixing cup installed on a door panel and an adjustment combination seat installed on a cabinet body, wherein the outer fixing cup is hinged with the adjustment combination seat and is opened or closed on the adjustment combination seat around a hinging position.
In order to effectively adjust an installation position of the hinge, a structure for adjusting a distance to the connection of the outer fixing cup is generally assembled on the adjustment combination seat to enhance operation stability and achieve simple operation.
However, the hinge of the above structure still has the following deficiencies in practical application:
1) The adjustment combination seat is composed of an upper adjusting plate, a middle adjusting plate and a bottom adjusting plate, each of the upper adjusting plate, the middle adjusting plate and the bottom adjusting plate of this combination seat is formed by punching a metal plate and subjected to metal conductance surface treatment, causing the tolerance deviation between connections thereof to be large, so shaking is easy to occur during operation of the plates, thereby causing noise, reducing the use stability of the product, and influencing the use quality.
2) The upper adjusting plate is provided with a crank hinged with the outer fixing cup by means of screws, and the upper adjusting plate is required to be punched to form a hollow part for sliding connection with the middle adjusting plate.
