What Is a Living Hinge?

Damping hinge is a kind of hydraulic buffering hinge that uses liquid's cushioning performance and ideal cushioning effect. The door slowly closes itself at 60 ° to reduce the impact force and form the comfort effect of the damping hinge when closed.

Damping hinge

Damping hinge is a kind of buffer using liquid

Damping hinge is a kind of hinge, also known as hydraulic hinge, which relies on a brand new technology to adapt to the closing speed of the door. Even if you use force to close the door, it will close gently to ensure perfect and soft movement. The utility model comprises a support, a door box, a buffer, a connecting block, a connecting rod, and a torsion spring. One end of the buffer is hinged on the support; the connecting block is hinged on the support in the middle, one side is hinged with the door box, and the other is The piston rod of the buffer is hinged; the connecting block, connecting rod, support, and door box form a four-link mechanism; the buffer includes a piston rod, a housing, and a piston. There are through holes and holes in the piston, and the piston rod drives When the piston moves, the liquid can flow from one side to the other through the through hole, thus acting as a buffer. The utility model is used for the connection of doors.

The damping hinge has three bending positions: full cover (straight bend), half cover (middle bend), and no cover (large bend or built-in).

Cabinet side panel (that is, hinge plate) is based on 18mm or 16mm plate. Full cover (straight plate) covers all side panels, half cover (small bend) covers half of side panels without cover (large (Bent or built-in), that is, the side panel is completely covered to expose the cabinet.

Hydraulic buffering hinge is suitable for door connection of furniture such as wardrobes, bookcases, floor cabinets, TV cabinets, cabinets, wine cabinets, storage cabinets and other furniture. Hydraulic buffering hinge relies on a brand-new technology to adapt to the closing speed of the door. The product uses hydraulic buffering technology to make the door slowly close itself when the opening degree is below 60 °, reducing the impact force, and forming a comfortable effect when closing. Closing the door also closes gently, which also guarantees perfect and quiet movement. Assembling buffer hinges makes the furniture more upscale, reduces the impact force and forms a comfortable effect when closed, and ensures that maintenance is not required even under long-term use.

The advantage of the hydraulic buffering hinge is that the soft and silent feeling makes the home feel more warm and comfortable. The main feature of the hydraulic buffering hinge is that the door can slowly close itself within 4 to 6 seconds when it is closed, and the number of openings and closings can reach more than 50,000 times. And can withstand the pressure of destructive force is still not deflated and oil leakage.

The soft and silent feeling makes the home feel warmer and more comfortable. The hydraulic hinge products refined in the past 20 years have been exquisite in workmanship and smaller in size than the 302 series. Together with the durable hydraulic cylinders, they have been more and more domestic people. Favorite. It relies on a brand-new technology to adapt to the closing speed of the door. The product uses hydraulic buffer technology to make the door open slowly and slowly when the door opening is not greater than 60 °. This can reduce the impact force and form a comfortable effect when closing, even if it is Close the door with force, it will also close the door gently; guarantee perfect and soft movement.

Because hinges open and close more than 10 times a day in everyone's life, the quality of a hinge depends on the performance of your furniture. You also need to pay great attention to choosing the hinge hardware in your home. Basically, the quality of the hinge can be distinguished from the following aspects.

1. Surface: Look at the surface of the product to see if it is flat. If you see scratches and deformation, it is produced from scrap (cutouts). This kind of hinge has an ugly appearance, leaving your furniture without grade.

2. Hydraulic performance: Everyone knows that the hinge key is a switch, so this is very important. The key is the damper of the hydraulic hinge and the rivet assembly. The damper mainly depends on whether there is noise during opening and closing. If there is noise, it is a poor quality product, and whether the round speed is uniform. Is the hinge cup loose? If there is looseness, it proves that the rivets are not tightly riveted and fall off easily. Check the cup several times to see the indentation in the cup is not obvious. If it is obvious, it proves that there is a problem with the thickness of the cup material and it is easy to "burst the cup".

3. Screws: Generally two hinges come with adjustment screws, which are adjustment screws, up and down adjustment screws, front and rear adjustment screws, and some new hinges also have left and right adjustment screws, which is now the so-called three-dimensional adjustment hinge, usually with two adjustment stations. Enough. Tip: Use a screwdriver to adjust the upper and lower adjustment screws three or four times with a little bit of force, and then remove the screws to see if the indentation of the hinge arm is damaged, because this hinge arm is formed of iron material, not as hard as the screw , Easy to wear, and because the factory taps if the accuracy is not enough, it is easy to slip, or can not be screwed. The same applies to the front and rear adjustment screws.
