The present disclosure claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202310746653.3, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Jun. 20, 2023, the entireties of which are herein incorporated by reference.
The present application relates to the field of household appliance, and in particular, to a hinge assembly and an opening and closing device.
This section only provides background information related to the present application and does not necessarily refer to prior art.
A freezer is a common type of opening and closing device, and it is generally provided with an upward opening door structure. When a door body of the freezer is opened, it is necessary to overcome the gravity of the door body, which makes it laborious to open the door. When closing the door body of the freezer, the door body may fall fast due to the gravity, causing a severe collision between the door body and a cabinet body of the freezer, and then affecting the user's experience. In some cases, such as when the door seal compensation is insufficient, the door body of the freezer may be not closed tightly, which results in air leakage and affects the refrigerating or freezing effect of the freezer, increases the energy consumption of the freezer, and results in poor user's experience.
The purpose of the present application is to at least alleviate the problems that a door body of an opening and closing device such as a freezer is laborious to be opened and not tightly closed. The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following solution.
In one embodiment of the present application provides a hinge assembly, including:
According to the present application, in the first and the second states, the hinge assembly may have a force rotating the first matching member and the second matching member in opposite directions under the axial force, one of the first state and the second state corresponds to a closed state or a nearly closed state of the door body of the opening and closing device, and the other of the first state and the second state corresponds to an opening state of the door body of the opening and closing device. When the door body of the opening and closing device is in the opening state, the first matching member and the second matching member provide upward opening assistance to the door body under the axial force, which facilitates the opening operation of the door body and helps the door body hover in the opening state; and when the door body moves from the opening state to the closed state, it may also offset a part of gravity and reduce the risk of rapid descent of the door body. When the door body of the opening and closing device is in the closed state, the first matching member and the second matching member provide downward pressing assistance to the door body under the axial force, which reduces the possibility that the door body is not closed tightly and improves the user's experience.

As shown in
The end of the first matching member 140 provided with the first curved surface 141 and the second curved surface 142 abuts against the end of the second matching member 300 provided with the third curved surface 311 and the fourth curved surface 312 correspondingly. The first curved surface 141, the second curved surface 142, the third curved surface 311, and the fourth curved surface 312 may all extend along the direction X of the first axis, where the direction X of the first axis is the axis direction along which the first matching member 140 rotates relative to the second matching member 300.
The first matching member 140 may include a first protrusion portion 146 protruding towards the first matching member 140, and both the first curved surface 141 and the second curved surface 142 are disposed on the surface of the first protrusion portion 146. The second matching member 300 may include a second protrusion portion 316 protruding towards the first matching member 140, and both the third curved surface 311 and the fourth curved surface 312 are disposed on the surface of the second protrusion portion 316.
The first curved surface 141 and the second curved surface 142 may be disposed sequentially along a circumferential direction of the first matching member 140, the third curved surface 311 and the fourth curved surface 312 may be disposed sequentially along a circumferential direction of the second matching member 300, and both the circumferential direction of the first matching member 140 and the circumferential direction of the second matching member 300 are perpendicular to the direction X of the first axis.
The hinge assembly 10 has a first state and a second state, and the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 are rotatable relative to each other around the first axis to be switchable between the first state and the second state. In the first state, the first curved surface 141 abuts against and is matched with the third curved surface 311 to make the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 have a first acting force under an axial force. In the second state, the second curved surface 142 abuts against and is matched with the fourth curved surface 312 to make the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 have a second acting force under the axial force. The first acting force and the second acting force have opposite directions.
The direction of the axial force may be the same as the direction of the first axis. The axial force may be applied through an elastic member, such as a spring.
According to the hinge assembly of the present application, in the first and the second states, the hinge assembly 10 may have an acting force that rotates the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 in opposite directions under the axial force, one of the first state and the second state may correspond to a closed state or a nearly closed state of the door body 30 of the opening and closing device, and the other of the first state and the second state may correspond to an opening state of the door body 30 of the opening and closing device. When the door body 30 of the opening and closing device is in the opening state, the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 may provide upward opening assistance to the door body 30 under the axial force, which facilitates the opening operation of the door body 30 and helps the door body 30 hover in the opening state; and when the door body 30 moves from the opening state to the closed state, it may also offset a part of gravity and reduce the risk of rapid descent of the door body 30. When the door body 30 of the opening and closing device is in the closed state, the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 may provide downward pressing assistance to the door body 30 under the axial force, which reduces the possibility that the door body 30 is not closed tightly and improves the user experience.
It should be noted that for the convenience of description, embodiments of the present application subsequently describe the relevant programs mainly in terms of a first state corresponding to an opening state of the door body 30 of the opening and closing device, and a second state corresponding to a closed state or a nearly closed state of the door body 30 of the opening and closing device.
In an implementation, the first curved surface, the second curved surface, the third curved surface, and the fourth curved surface are helical surfaces, the first curved surface and the second curved surface have opposite helical directions, the third curved surface and the fourth curved surface have opposite helical directions, the first curved surface and the third curved surface have the same helical direction, and the second curved surface and the fourth curved surfaces have the same helical direction.
The first curved surface, the second curved surface, the third curved surface, and the fourth curved surfaces all extend helically in the direction of the first axis.
Since the first curved surface 141 and the curved second surface 142 have opposite helical directions, and the third curved surface 311 and the fourth curved surface 312 have opposite helical directions, in both the first and second states, the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 may generate an acting force for rotating the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 in opposite directions under the same axial force.
It should be noted that the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 may rotate relative to each other along the axis direction through the force generated by the elastic member 400, such as a spring. The spring may be disposed outside the hinge structure or integrated into the hinge structure as a part of the hinge structure. The embodiment subsequently specifies a way in which the hinge assembly 10 has a built-in elastic member 400.
As shown in
When an axial force is applied to the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300, in the third state, the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 are generally not able to convert the axial force into an acting force for rotating causes the first matching member 140 relative to the second matching member 300. That is, the third state is a transitional state between the first state and the second state. The first matching surface 145 and the second matching surface 314 may be disposed as needed. Generally, in the rotatable stroke of the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300, a stroke of the third state in which the first matching surface 145 abuts against the second matching surface 314 is shorter than a stroke of the first state in which the first curved surface 141 abuts against the third curved surface 311, and is shorter than a stroke of the second state in which the second curved surface 142 abuts against the fourth curved surface 312. The stroke of each state may be referenced by the rotation angle of the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 corresponding to each state. The shorter the stroke is, the smaller the rotation angle corresponding to the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 in this state is. The rotation angle corresponding to the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 may be understood as the angle at which the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 have rotated between a start point and an end point, where the position at which the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 rotate relatively to the state is the start point, and the position at which the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 rotate relatively out of the state is the end point.
In an embodiment, both the first curved surface 141 and the second curved surface 142 are disposed at a side of the first matching surface 145 away from the second matching member 300, and both the third curved surface 311 and the fourth curved surface 312 are disposed at a side of the second matching surface 314 away from the first matching member 140.
As shown in
In an embodiment, the first matching member 140 may also be provided with a stop surface 315 connected with an end of the second curved surface 142 away from the first matching surface 145. When the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 are rotated to a desired limit angle, for example, when the door body 30 is rotated to the lowest point or the door body 30 is rotated to the highest point, the stop surface 315 may act as a stop for rotation with a corresponding structure or a corresponding surface of the second matching member 300.
It may be understood that the second matching member 300 may also be provided with a stop surface 315 connected to the end of the fourth curved surface 312 away from the second matching surface 314. The stop surface 315 may also limit the range of the rotation angle of the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300.

In some embodiments, as shown in
In an embodiment, the hinge structure further includes a first hinge seat 100 and a second hinge seat 200. The first hinge seat 100 is connected to the first matching member 140, and the first hinge seat 100 rotates synchronously with the first matching member 140. The second hinge seat 200 is connected to the second matching member 300, and the second hinge seat 200 rotates synchronously with the second matching member 300. The first matching member 140 is slidably connected to the first hinge seat 100 in the direction X of the first axis, and/or the second matching member 300 is slidably connected to the second hinge seat 200 in the direction X of the first axis.
In practice, the first hinge seat 100 may be connected to the door body 30 of the opening and closing device, and the second hinge seat 200 may be connected to the cabinet 20 of the opening and closing device.
In an embodiment, the first hinge seat 100 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 130 extending in the direction X of the first axis. The second hinge seat 100 is provided with a second accommodating cavity 230 extending in the direction X of the first axis. The first accommodating cavity 130 is connected to the second accommodating cavity 230. The first matching member 140 is disposed inside the first accommodating cavity 130, and the second matching member 300 is disposed inside the second accommodating cavity 230.
For example, the first hinge seat 100 and the first matching member 140 may be integrated, and the second matching member 300 may be provided to be slidable in the direction X of the first axis within the second accommodating cavity 230.
The hinge assembly 10 further includes an elastic member 400 provided in the second accommodating cavity 230 and located at a side of the second matching member 300 away from the first matching member 140. The elastic member 400 may be compressed to apply an axial force, i.e., a thrusting force, to the second matching member 300 and the first matching member 140. In the first state, the force applied by the elastic member 400 to the second matching member 300 may cause the first matching member 140 to rotate in the first rotation direction relative to the second matching member 300; and in the second state, the force applied by the elastic member 400 to the second matching member 300 may cause the first matching member 140 to rotate in the opposite direction of the first rotation direction relative to the second matching member 300.
In one embodiment, a hinged assembly 10 includes a first hinge seat 100, a second hinge seat 200, a second matching member 300, and an elastic member 400. The first hinge seat 100 has a first matching member 140, and the first matching member 140 has a first curved surface 141 and a second curved surface 142. The second hinge seat 200 has a second accommodating cavity 230 extending along the direction X of the first axis, and the accommodating cavity 230 has a first opening at one end. The second matching member 300 is disposed inside the second accommodating cavity 230. The second matching member 300 and the second hinge seat 200 are fixed in the circumferential direction of the second accommodating cavity 230, and the second matching member 300 is slidable in the direction X of the first axis within the second accommodating cavity 230. The second matching member 300 has a second mating structure 310 having a third curved surface 311 and a fourth curved surface 312. The second matching structure 310 abuts against the first matching member 140 through the first opening. The clastic member 400 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity 230 and is located at an end of the second matching member 300 away from the first matching member 140, and the clastic member 400 applies a thrust force to the second matching member 300 that causes the second matching member 300 to move towards the first matching member 140.
The hinged assembly 10 has a first state and a second state, and the first hinge seat 100 may reciprocally rotate relative to the second hinge seat 200 around an axis extending in the direction X of the first axis in a predetermined angular range, causing the first matching member 140 to slide relative to the second matching structure 310, the hinged assembly 10 switches between the first and the second states. In the second state, the second curved surface 142 abuts against the fourth curved surface 312, and the elastic member 400 causes the first hinge seat 100 to have a torque to rotate relative to the second hinge seat 200 in the opposite direction of the first rotation direction; while in the first state, the first curved surface 141 abuts against the third curved surface 311, and the elastic member 400 causes the first hinge seat 100 to have a torque to rotate relative to the second hinge seat 200 in the first rotation direction. The first rotation direction is the same as the rotation direction of the first hinge seat 100 rotating relative to the second hinge seat 200 from the first state to the second state.
The first hinge seat 100 may be connected to the door body 30 of the opening and closing device, and the second hinge seat 200 may be connected to the cabinet 20 of the opening and closing device. During opening and closing of the door body 30, the second hinge seat 200 is fixedly disposed and the first hinge seat 100 rotates synchronously with the door body 30.
When the hinge assembly 10 is assembled to the opening and closing device, the direction X of the first axis may be configured in a direction parallel to the opening of the opening and closing device. When the opening and closing device is placed on a relatively flat floor, the direction X of the first axis may be understood with reference to a horizontal direction. The direction X of the first axis may be a left-right direction of the opening and closing device when the opening and closing apparatus is an upper opening door, the opening and closing side of the door body 30 is facing forwards, and the hinge assembly 10 is disposed on the rear side of the opening and closing device.
The hinge assembly 10 may be assembled in such a way that the first state of the hinge assembly 10 corresponds to a maximum opening state of the door body 30 of the opening and closing device and a state in which the door body 30 is opened at a larger angle, and the second state may correspond to a closed state of the door body 30 of the opening and closing device and a state in which the door body 30 is opened at a smaller angle. In this way, the first rotation direction is also the opening direction of the door body 30. In an embodiment, the maximum opening angle of the door body 30 corresponding to the second state may be in the range of 10 degrees to 45 degrees of rotation of the door body 30 from the closed state towards the opening direction, for example, the angle of opening of the door body 30 corresponding to the first state is in the range of 0 degrees to 15 degrees, 0 degrees to 20 degrees, 0 degrees to 21 degrees, 0 degrees to 25 degrees, 0 degrees to 30 degrees, 0 degrees to 35 degrees, 0 degrees to 40 degrees, or 0 degrees to 45 degrees, etc. The maximum opening angle of the door body 30 corresponding to the second state corresponds to the maximum angle of opening where the hinge assembly 10 may not buffer the closing of the door body 30 or provide assistance to the opening of the door body 30, in other words, when the door body 30 is opened from the closed state to a point exceeding the maximum angle of opening of the door body 30 corresponding to the second state, the first curved surface 141 abuts against the third curved surface 311, and the hinge assembly 10 may play an assisting role in the opening of the door body 30; before the door body 30 is rotated to the maximum opening angle of the door body 30 corresponding to the second state from the maximum opening state, the first curved surface 141 abuts against the third curved surface 311, and the hinge assembly 10 may play a buffering role in the closing of the door body 30.
In actual assembly, the elastic member 400 may be reasonably disposed according to the gravity of the door body 30 and the like, the torque generated by the hinge assembly 10 in the first state may be greater than the torque generated by the gravity of the door body 30, and the door body 30 may be hovered in the second state. When the door body 30 may hover in the first state, the opening angle of the door body 30 corresponding to the first state is also the hovering angle of the door body 30. The lower limit of the hovering angle range is consistent with the opening angle of the door body 30 corresponding to the third state, that is, the opening angle of the door body 30 corresponding to the third state may be a threshold between hovering and being unable to hover, and when it is greater than the maximum opening angle of the door body 30 corresponding to the third state, the door body 30 may hover; and when it is less than the maximum opening angle of the door body 30 corresponding to the third state, the door body 30 is unable to hover. The upper limit of the hovering angle range may be the same as the angle at which the door body 30 is opened to the maximum state.
The predetermined angular range of rotation of the first hinge seat 100 relative to the second hinge seat 200 corresponds to the opening degree of the door body 30, i.e., the angular range of rotation of the door body 30 opening to the maximum state from the closed state may be used as the predetermined angular range of rotation of the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200. In this embodiment, the angle at which the door body 30 opens to the maximum state may be from 70 degrees to 90 degrees, for example, the angular range of rotation of the door body 30 may be from 0 degrees to 90 degrees, 0 degrees to 85 degrees, 0 degrees to 80 degrees, 0 degrees to 75 degrees, or 0 degrees to 70 degrees. In some techniques, the angle range of rotation of the door body 30 may be specifically set to 0 degrees to 80 degrees, where the door body 30 is closed at 0 degrees, and the door body 30 is opened to a maximum state at 80 degrees.
The second accommodating cavity 230 may be in the form of a cylinder with a circular cross-section.
The first matching member 140 and the second matching structure 310 may be ratchet-like structures. In an embodiment, the end of the first hinge seat 100 towards the second matching member 300 may be provided with a ratchet-like structure including first grooves disposed at intervals along a circumferential direction (for example, there may be two, three, or more, and on the basis of reasonable consideration of the space occupied and strength, two first grooves are provided generally). A first protruding portion 146 is formed on the sidewall of the first groove. A first curved surface 141, a first matching surface 145, and a second curved surface 142 are formed on the wall surface of the corresponding sidewall. The second matching member 300 is disposed in a generally cylindrical shape, and the end of the second matching member 300 facing the first hinge seat 100 may be provided with a ratchet-like structure including second grooves disposed at intervals in a circumferential direction. The second grooves and the first grooves are disposed in one-to-one correspondence. A second protruding portion 316 is formed on the sidewall of the second groove. A third curved surface 311, a fourth curved surface 312, and a second matching surface 314 are formed on the wall surface of the corresponding sidewall (i.e., on the top surface of the side wall of the second groove).
When the first hinge seat 100 rotates relative to the second hinge seat 200, the first matching member 140 and the second matching structure 310 may slide relative to each other, and different positions of the first matching member 140 may be matched with different positions of the second matching structure 310. When the door body 30 is closed, the hinge assembly 10 may be in a second state, the second curved surface 142 abuts against the fourth curved surface 312, and the elastic member 400 is in a compressed state, the thrust exerted by the clastic member 400 towards the second matching member 300 generates a torque in the radial tangential direction at the location where the second curved surface 142 abuts the fourth curved surface 312. The torque causes the door body 30 to have a tendency to rotate towards the closing direction, to assist in the closing of the door body 30. The door body 30 covers the cabinet 20 relying on gravity and the pressure generated by the spring. During the opening of the door body 30, the second surface 142 slides relative to the fourth curved surface 312, which gradually transforms into the case that the first matching surface 145 abuts against the second matching surface 314, and the first matching member 140 and the second matching member 300 do not have a relative rotational torque. As the door body 30 continues to open, the first curved surface 141 abuts against the third curved surface 311, and the first surface 141 slides relative to the third curved surface 311. The elastic member 400 gradually resets, maintaining the thrust force applied to the second matching member 300 while the thrust force becomes less gradually. When the first curved surface 141 abuts against the third curved surface 311, i.e., in the first state, the thrust force exerted by the elastic member 400 to the second matching member 300 generates a torque in the radial tangential direction at the location where the first curved surface 141 abuts the third curved surface 311. The torque causes the door body 30 to have a tendency to rotate in the direction of opening, to balance the gravity of the door body 30. When the door body 30 is opened to the maximum opening degree, the first curved surface 141 may still abut against the third curved surface 311, and the ratchet-like structure of the first hinge seat 100 may be engaged with the ratchet-like structure of the second matching member 300, i.e., the side wall of the first groove is inserted into the second groove, the side wall of the second groove is inserted into the first groove, the curved surface 142 may abut against the bottom surface of the second groove (the second bottom surface 313), and the fourth curved surface 312 may abut against the bottom surface of the first groove (the first bottom surface 143).
In an embodiment, the clastic member 400 is a spring, and the spring may always be in a compressed state after the hinge assembly 10 has been assembled and the spring may exert a thrust force to the second matching member 300.
According to the present embodiment, a hinge assembly 10 may be connected between a cabinet 20 (e.g., a freezer) and a door body 30 of an opening and closing device and the door body 30 is hinged to the cabinet 20, where the door body 30 may be connected to a first hinge seat 100, the cabinet 20 may be connected to a second hinge seat 200, and the rotation of the first hinge seat 100 relative to the second hinge seat 200 in the first rotation direction may be configured to open the door body 30. The hinge assembly 10 in this embodiment may convert the lateral force of the elastic member 400 (i.e., the spring) into a force in a direction consistent with the rotation direction of the first hinge seat 100 through the matching between the second matching member 300 and the first matching member 140, and ultimately realize the rotation of the hinge assembly 10 and the opening and closing of the door body 30. In an embodiment, during the opening of the door body 30, when the hinge assembly 10 is rotated to the first state, the elastic member 400 causes the first hinge seat 100 to have a torque that rotates in a first rotational direction relative to the second hinge seat 200, i.e., the thrust force exerted by the elastic member 400 to the second matching member 300 may assist in the opening of the door body 30 via the first curved surface 141 and the third curved surface 311. During the closing of the door body 30, the partial force of the torque on the hinge assembly 10 formed by the elastic member 400 may balance at least part of the gravitational force of the door body 30, alleviate the rapid falling of the door body 30, solve the problem of the violent collision between the door body 30 and the cabinet 20 caused by the rapid falling of the door body 30, and improving the user experience. When the hinge assembly 10 is rotated to the second state when the door body 30 is closed, the clastic member 400 causes the first hinge seat 100 to have a torque that rotates in the direction opposite to the first rotational direction relative to the second hinge seat 200, i.e., the thrust force applied by the elastic member 400 to the second matching member 300 may assist the closing of the door body 30 through the second curved surface 142 and the fourth curved surface 312, and the door body 30 may have better closing sealing and be easy to assemble, the space occupied by the hinge assembly 10 is reduced, the number of opening and closing devices that may be loaded on the transportation tool is increased, and the transportation cost of the opening and closing device is decreased.
Furthermore, both the elastic member 400 and the second matching member 300 are disposed in the second accommodating cavity 230 of the second hinge seat 200. The elastic member 400 is a built-in member, which reduces the risk that the hinge assembly 10 pinches fingers of the user or the assembly personnel, and improves safety.
In the present embodiment, the axial force of the elastic member 400 in the direction X of the first axis may be converted into a relatively large torque for rotation of the first hinge seat 100 through the first matching member 140 and the second matching structure 310, and the required elastic force of the elastic member 400 is reduced. When the elastic member 400 is a spring, the wire diameter of the spring may be about 2.5 millimeters, and the outer diameter of the overall spring may be no greater than 16 millimeters, for example, it may be 15.8 millimeters. As the size of the elastic member 400 is decreased, the impact of the hinge assembly 10 on the space occupancy of the opening and closing device may be decreased, i.e., the size of the protrusion of the rear side of the hinge assembly 10 from the side wall of the cabinet 20 is decreased. Combined with the reasonable design of the cabinet 20, the size of the hinge assembly 10 protruding out of the side wall of the cabinet 20 may be no greater than 10 millimeters when the hinge assembly 10 of this embodiment is mounted to the opening and closing device, which enhances the overall loading volume of the product and saves the transportation cost.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the first hinge seat 100 is connected to the door body 30 of the opening and closing device, and the second hinge seat 200 is connected to the cabinet 20 of the opening and closing device. However, during actually assembled, the first hinge seat 100 may be connected to the cabinet 20 of the opening and closing device and the second hinge seat 200 may be connected to the door body 30 of the opening and closing device as required. That is, the first hinge seat 100 is fixedly disposed relative to the cabinet 20, and the second hinge seat 200 rotates together with the door body 30 synchronously. The first hinge seat 100 is fixed, and according to the relativity of movement, the rotation of the first hinge seat 100 relative to the second hinge seat 200 may be realized by the rotation of the second hinge seat 200.
According to some embodiments of the present application, in some implementations, as shown in
The first hinge seat 100 may be injection-molded, the first lock plate 120 and the first hinge portion 110 are formed through injection molding. The second hinge seat 200 may be injection-molded, and the second lock plate and the second hinge portion 210 are formed through injection molding.
In an embodiment, the first lock plate 120 may be provided with one or more first mounting holes 121 used for being matched with a fixing member to fix the first lock plate 120 on the door body 30. The fixing member may be a bolt, a screw, or the like. In one embodiment, the fixing member is a bolt.
In an embodiment, the second lock plate includes a first sub-lock plate 221 and a second sub-lock plate 222, where the second sub-lock plate 222 is provided with one or more second mounting holes 223 used for being matched with a fixing member to fix the second sub-lock plate 222 on the cabinet 20. The fixing member may be a bolt, a screw, or the like. The first sub-lock plate 221 is fixedly connected to the second hinge portion 210 and is located on the side of the second sub-lock plate 222 close to the door body 30. The first sub-lock plate 221 is inserted into and fixed with the cabinet 20, and may be inserted into and matched with the trench 105 disposed horizontally or vertically in the cabinet 20. The first sub-lock plate 221 is connected to the cabinet 20 through plugging, and in the process of opening the door body 30. i.e., when the first hinge seat 100 rotates, the first sub-lock plate 221 is the main member to withstand the torque, while the second sub-lock plate 222 is fixed through the second mounting hole, which may strengthen the fixation of the second hinge seat 200 with the door body 30 and prevent the second hinge seat 200 from moving. Both the first sub-lock plate 221 and the second sub-lock plate 222 may be integrated with the second hinge portion 210.
In one embodiment, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In an embodiment, reinforcing ribs 160 may be disposed on the first lock plate 120 and the second sub-lock plate 222. In one embodiment, the first lock plate 120 is provided with one or more reinforcing ribs 160 on a surface opposite to the mounting surface of the door body 30, and the second sub-lock plate 222 is provided with one or more reinforcing ribs 160 on a surface opposite to the mounting surface of the cabinet 20. The reinforcing ribs 160 may increase the strength of the first lock plate 120 and/or the second sub-lock plate 222 and prolong the service life of the first lock plate 120 and the second sub-lock plate 222. The reinforcing ribs 160 may be integrated with the corresponding lock plates.
In an embodiment, in order to limit the maximum opening state of the door body 30, i.e., to limit the opening degree of the door body 30, the first lock plate 120 and the second sub-lock plate 222 may be provided with corresponding stop structures. For example, the first lock plate 120 is provided with a first stop 122 on a side close to the second hinge portion 210, and the second sub-lock plate 222 is provided with a second stop 224 on a side close to the first hinge portion 110, and the first stop 122 is matched with the second stop 224 to limit the maximum angle of rotation of the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge portion 210 along the first rotation direction.
The first stop 122 may be integrated with the first lock plate 120, and the second stop 224 may be integrated with the second sub-lock plate 222. The first stop 122 may be disposed on a surface of the first lock plate 120 opposite to the door body mounting surface, and the second stop 224 may be disposed on an end surface of the second sub-lock plate 222 connected to a cabinet attachment surface.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the first hinge portion 110 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 130. A second opening of the first accommodating cavity 130 is provided opposite to the first opening and communicates with the first opening, and the first matching member 140 is provided within the first accommodating cavity 130. An end of the first hinge portion 110 with the second opening is connected in a sealed manner to an end of the second hinge portion 210 with the first opening.
The first accommodating cavity 130 may be in a shape of a cylinder with a circular cross section.
The first matching member 140 and the second matching structure 310 are matched to slide together, and in order to improve the smoothness of sliding and reduce the wear of the first matching member 140 and the second matching structure 310, lubricating oil may be added between the first matching member 140 and the second matching structure 310. The first hinge portion 110 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 130, and the first accommodating cavity 130 is connected to in a sealed manner and communicates with the second accommodating cavity 230, and the first matching member 140 and the second matching structure 310 may be in a relatively sealed environment, which ensures long-term use and storage of the lubricating oil.
As shown in
It may be understood that by the matching structure of the annular protrusion 214 on the annular boss 213 and the annular groove 113 on the annular step 112, an oil-receiving structure, i.e., a sealing groove structure, may be formed on the end surface of the first hinge portion 110 connected to the second hinge portion 210, which reduces the risk of leaking the lubricating oil from the connecting end surface of the first hinge portion 110 and the second hinge portion 210.
According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in
For example, the oil storage tank 144 may be disposed on any one of the second curved surface 142, the fourth curved surface 312, the first curved surface 141, and the third curved surface 311; or the oil storage tank 144 may be disposed on two or three or four of the second curved surface 142, the fourth curved surface 312, the first curved surface 141, and the third curved surface 311.
The oil storage tank 144 is a groove formed on the corresponding surface, and one or more oil storage tanks 144 may be disposed on the same matching surface or the same curved surface.
As shown in
The oil storage tank 144 may be used to store a part of the lubricating oil. When the first hinge seat 100 rotates relative to the second hinge seat 200, the lubricating oil may be stored in the oil storage tank 144 to reduce wear of the first matching member 140 and the second matching structure 310.
According to some embodiments of the present application, at least one of the first hinge portion 110 or the second hinge portion 210 is provided with a relief hole 250, and the relief hole 250 communicates with the second accommodating cavity 230. When the first hinge portion 110 is provided with the relief hole 250, the relief hole 250 disposed on the first hinge portion 110 may communicate with the first accommodating cavity 130. The relief hole 250 also communicates with the second accommodating cavity 230 since the first accommodating cavity 130 communicates with the second accommodating cavity 230.
In an embodiment, as shown in
When the hinge assembly 10 rotates, the lubricating oil inside the hinge assembly 10, i.e., inside the second accommodating cavity 230 and the accommodating groove, is squeezed, and the internal space is compressed, resulting in increase in local pressure. By providing the relief hole 250, the oil leakage caused by the imbalance of the internal air pressure may be avoided.
It should be noted that the relief hole 250 should be disposed above the oil level of the lubricating oil that may be stored in the second accommodating cavity 230 to reduce the risk of leaking lubricating oil from relief hole 250.
According to some embodiments of the present application, the first hinge seat 100 may be provided with a first positioning portion 150, and the second hinge seat 200 may be provided with a second positioning portion 240. The second positioning portion 240 may be matchable with the first positioning portion 150 to position the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200 at an initial mounting angle. The first positioning portion 150 may be dis-connectable from the first hinge seat 100, and/or the second positioning portion 240 may be dis-connectable from the second hinge seat 200.
The initial mounting angle is a positioning angle during the assembly process of the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200. Generally, after the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200 are assembled, the hinge assembly 10 is connected to the opening and closing device. In order to facilitate the connection of the hinge assembly 10 with the door body 30 and the cabinet 20 of the opening and closing device, an angle between the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200 that facilitates the mounting of the first hinge seat 100 to the door body 30, and the mounting of the second hinge seat 200 to the cabinet 20, may be taken as the initial mounting angle. In this embodiment, when the door body 30 is in the closed state, it is most convenient to assemble the hinge seat and the opening and closing device, and no torque is applied between the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200. The initial mounting angle may be approximately 180 degrees between the first lock plate 120 of the first hinge seat 100 and the second sub-lock plate 222 of the second hinge seat 200.
The first positioning portion 150 and the second positioning portion 240 are matched to form a self-locking structure of the hinge assembly 10, the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200 are temporarily fixed, the first hinge seat 100 may not rotate relative to the second hinge seat 200, and may position a relative mounting position between the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200 to reduce the risk of mounting the first hinge seat 100 and the second hinge seat 200 by mistake.
The first positioning portion 150 may be dis-connectable from the first hinge seat 100, which may be understood that the connection between the first positioning portion 150 and the first hinge seat 100 may be released, and the disconnection may be destructive that may not be recovered or detachable. Similarly, the second positioning portion 240 may be dis-connectable from the second hinge seat 200, which may be understood that the connection between the second positioning portion 240 and the second hinge seat 200 may be released, and the disconnection may be destructive that may not be recovered or detachable.
In one embodiment, one of the first positioning portion 150 and the second positioning portion 240 is a groove structure and the other thereof is a protrusion. Taking the first positioning portion 150 as a protrusion and the second positioning portion 240 as a groove as an example, when the hinge assembly 10 is assembled, the protruding structure of the first hinge seat 100 is assembled into the groove structure of the second hinge seat 200 to prevent the hinge assembly 10 from rotating. Meanwhile, the root of the protruding structure is thinned. After the hinge assembly 10 is mounted for the first time, with the opening of the door body 30, due to the protruding structure being stuck in the groove, the protruding structure is broken from the root to disconnect the first hinge seat 100 from the second hinge seat 200 in the circumferential direction, and rotate the hinge assembly 10.
Furthermore, the groove structure may also be provided with a slope to allow the broken protruding structure to flow out of the groove structure along the slope, which prevents the protruding structure from leaving in the hinge assembly 10.
According to some embodiments, an outer circumferential wall of the second matching member 300 may be provided with a first guiding structure 320 extending in the direction X of the first axis, and the second accommodating cavity 230 of the second hinge seat 200 may be provided with a second guiding structure 231 extending in the direction X of the first axis. The first guiding structure 320 and the second guiding structure 231 are matched to fix the second matching member 300 and the second hinge seat 200 relative to each other in a circumferential direction of the second accommodating cavity 230, and to move the second matching member 300 in the direction X of the first axis.
The first guiding structure 320 and the second guiding structure 231 may be a matching of raised strips with recessed grooves. In this embodiment, an outer circumferential wall of the second matching member 300 is provided with recessed grooves, and an inner wall of the second accommodating cavity 230 is provided with raised strips, and the raised strips are disposed in the recessed grooves, and the raised strips and the recessed grooves may slide relative to each other in the direction X of the first axis. The raised strips may be in one-to-one correspondence with the recessed grooves, and for example, the number of the raised strips and the recessed grooves, for example, may be 2-8. In the embodiment, the number of the raised strips and the recessed grooves are four respectively, and the four raised strips are arranged at an equal interval along the circumferential direction of the second accommodating cavity 230, and the four recessed grooves corresponding to the four raised strips are arranged at an equal interval along the circumferential direction of the second matching member 300.
By the first guiding structure 320 and the second guiding structure 231, the second matching member 300 may move in the stretching and retracting directions of the elastic member 400 (i.e., the spring), i.e., in the direction X of the first axis, and the rotation of the second matching member 300 may be limited, and the second matching member 300 may slide only in the stretching and retracting directions of the elastic member 400 (i.e., the spring).
In an embodiment, the first hinge seat 100, the second hinge seat 200 and the second matching member 300 of the present embodiment are all made of hard plastic parts, such as wear-resistant materials such as polyformaldehyde (POM) material, nylon, and the like.
The hinge assembly structure of the present embodiment may be assembled through a connecting shaft 500. The first hinge portion 110, the second hinge portion 210, the second matching member 300, and the elastic member 400 are all provided with through holes 510, where the through holes 510 may be coaxial with the second accommodating cavity 230 and the first accommodating cavity 130. When the elastic member 400 is a spring, the through hole 510 of the elastic member 400 is also the inner space of the helix of the spring. The connecting shaft 500 passes through the first hinge portion 110 (including the first matching member 140), the second matching member 300 (including the second matching structure 310), the elastic member 400, and the second hinge portion 210 in turn, and fixes the first hinge seat 100, the second hinge seat 200, the elastic member 400, and the second hinge seat 200 as a whole. The connecting shaft 500 may be fixed by riveting, or it may be fixed and connected by matching member nuts at one or both ends of the connecting shaft 500.
Furthermore, the end of the first hinge portion 110 away from the second hinge portion 210 may be provided with a shim 600, and the connecting shaft 500 may be riveted or fixed with a nut after passing through the shim 600.
A notch 610 may be disposed at the edge of the shim 600, and the end surface of the first hinge portion 110 matched with the shim 600 may be provided with a protruding structure, and the protruding structure is matched with the notch 610 to prevent the shim 600 from rotating with the first hinge seat 100.
It could be understood that a shim 600 may also be provided at the end of the second hinge portion 210 away from the first hinge portion 110.
It should be noted that the height difference between the end of the fourth curved surface 312 away from the second matching surface 314 in the direction X of the first axis may adjust the hovering angle of the door body 30, and it has been found through testing and verification that the door body 30 may be hovered at 30° when the height is 2.2 millimeters. In some implementations, the height difference between the end of the fourth curved surface 312 away from the second matching surface 314 and the second matching surface 314 in the direction X of the first axis may be designed to be in the range of 1.5-3.5 millimeters, preferably 2.2 millimeters.
An embodiment of the present application further provides an opening and closing device including a cabinet 20 and a door body 30. The cabinet 20 has an opening 206 at one end, the door body 30 is hinged to the opening 206 of the cabinet 20 through the hinge assembly 10 provided in the present application or any embodiment of the present application, and the first rotation direction is in the same direction as the rotation direction of the door body 30 when it is opened.
The opening and closing device may be a freezer, for example, a bedroom freezer with an upwards opening door, the opening and closing device may also be other devices configured to open and close, such as a dishwasher, a storage cabinet, etc. When the opening and closing device is a bedroom freezer, the freezer also includes a control component for controlling refrigeration, etc., and the first hinge seat 100 is an upper seat connected to the door body 30, and the second hinge seat 200 is a lower seat connected to the cabinet 20 (i.e., the box), and the hinged assembly 10 may make the product more reliable in closing the door, reduce the risk of flashing, and reduce the waste of refrigeration capacity in the freezer.

In other implementations, the first mounting hole 121 may also be disposed at intervals in the vertical direction, and there may be more first mounting hole 121, without limitation herein.
It should be noted that both the first mounting hole 121 and the second mounting hole 223 in the embodiment of the present application are countersunk holes to avoid the corresponding bolts protruding out of the surface and affecting the packaging quantity of the product.
The side of the second sub-lock plate 222 facing away from the first sub-lock plate 221 (i.e., the outer side of the second sub-lock plate 222) is provided with reinforcing ribs 160. The reinforcing ribs 160 may be provided in the vertical direction, and may extend from the second sub-lock plate 222 to the circumferential surface of the hinged end of the second hinge seat to improve the strength of the second hinge seat 200 and to prolong the service life of the second hinge seat 200.
