The damper 810 comprises a oil cylinder 811, a rod body 812 with one end extending into the oil cylinder 811 and the other end against the sidewall of the cup body member 100 away from the oil cylinder 811, and a housing 813 fixedly fitted on the surface of the oil cylinder 811, the bottom of the housing 813 being inclined, the side ear member 801 is located on one side of the housing 813, wherein the housing 813 comprises: a slider 814, located at the bottom of the housing 813, configured to lie flat against the bottom wall of the cup body cavity 140, the slider 814 is provided with at least one slide rail 815, wherein a slider strip (not shown in the figure) for the slide rail 815 to slide against is provided at the opposite position between the bottom wall and the slide rail 815; a baffle plate 816, located on one side of the housing 813 away from the side ear member 801, configured to cooperate with the second sleeve seat main board 825 to limit the range of motion of the damper 810. This embodiment prevents displacement of the position of the damper 810 by configuring the baffle plate 816, which affects the damping effect of the damper 810; by setting the bottom of the housing 813 to be inclined, the compression effect of the first end of the rotating arm member 300 on the shell 813 can be improved when the hinge is in use; by configuring the slider 814 in the housing 813 and the slider strip on the bottom wall of the cup body cavity 140, enhancing the damping effect of the damper 810, thereby further enhancing the effectiveness of the hinge.


For ease of understanding, this embodiment also provides the working principle of the damping hinge, as follows:


As shown in FIG. 9, the cup body member 100 of the damping hinge is fixed to the door body, and the arm body member 200 is fixed to the door frame.


Regarding the working principle of the damper 810:


When the door body is closed, the oil cylinder 811 will move back under the pressure of the rotating arm member 300 until colliding with the sidewall of the cup body member 100, at this time, the rod body 812 of the oil cylinder 811 will retract into the body of the oil cylinder 811.


When the door body is opened, the end of the rod body 812 of the oil cylinder 811 will quickly extend the housing 813 of the oil cylinder 811 out, using the sidewall of the cup body member 100 as support, to reset to the state before the door closing action.


Wherein, when the door body is pushed to close to about 40-35 degrees, the first torsion spring 610 and the second torsion spring 620 on both sides of the cup body member 100 will exert pressure on the rotating arm member 300, and the resulting pressure will rotate the door body around the pin 500 to close the door; at the same time, the first end of the rotating arm member 300 will come into contact with the inclined bottom (bottom of the housing 813) of the damper 810 installed inside the cup body member 100, allowing the damping force of the damper 810 to cushion the inertia during the rotation of the door closing, so that the door body can close more slowly and gently, eliminating the noise generated by the impact of the door body against the door frame.


Regarding the working principle of the switch toggle member 830:


As shown in FIGS. 10-11, when the switch toggle member 830 is in the first position 901, the oil cylinder 811 will not be interfered by the switch toggle member 830 whether it is forced to move backward or extends to reset when the door is opened.


As shown in FIGS. 12-13, when the switch toggle member 830 is in the second position 902, the toggle column 831 of the switch toggle member 830 is on the track of the side ear member 801's movement. When the oil cylinder 811 moves back, the side ear member 801 on one side of the damping member will be obstructed by the toggle column 831; if the oil cylinder 811 continues to move back under the action of an external force, then the first inclined surface 832 of the side ear member 801 will cooperate with the second inclined surface 802, causing the toggle column 831 of the switch toggle member 830 to move up, allowing the side ear member 801 to forcefully pass through the toggle column 831; after the side ear member 801 passes through the toggle column 831, the toggle column 831 falls back, and by the toggle column 831 resisting the side ear body 801, the resetting action of the cylinder 811 is limited, at this time, the damping buffering effect of the damping hinge disappears.


Wherein, when the door body can close normally, there is no need to move the switch toggle member 830 to the second position 902, when the door body is too heavy or the damping hinge has been used for too long, causing the resilience of the damper 810 to decline, resulting in abnormally slow or unable to close, one or more of the switch toggle member 830 on the door body can be moved to the second position 902 to reduce or eliminate the resetting action of the damper 810, thereby restoring the normal operation of the door body. The switch toggle member 830 can effectively improve the door closing speed and increase the service life of the product.


Finally, it should be noted that the above are only examples of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiment, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiment, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
