A plane hinge is a mechanical connection device that is primarily used to connect two objects and allow them to rotate in a plane. Here is a detailed explanation of the flat hinges:
Definition and structure
Definition: A plane hinge is a connection that allows two objects to rotate relative to each other in a plane.
Structure: A flat hinge usually consists of two hinge plates and a shaft. The hinge plates are connected together by shafts, allowing two objects to rotate in a plane within the constraints of the hinge.
Working principle
Flat hinges work by connecting shafts between two hinged plates so that two objects can rotate relative to each other in a plane. When one object needs to be rotated on another, the axis between the two hinged plates allows them to rotate in one plane while limiting their movement in other directions.
Application field
Flat hinges are used in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:
Furniture manufacturing: Often used to connect drawer and cabinet doors so that they can be opened and closed in a flat surface.
Door and window manufacturing: used to connect the door and window frame and door and window fan, so that the door and window can be rotated in a plane.
Automotive and aviation: Used to connect components such as doors and cabin covers to achieve their rotating motion.
Industrial automation: In industrial automation equipment such as robots, production lines and conveyor systems, flat hinges help with motion and position control.
Construction field: Used for doors, Windows, folding screens, partitions, wall panels, etc., to make the building structure more flexible, and help to install and disassemble.
advantage
Compared with other connectors (such as bolts, nails, etc.), flat hinges have the following advantages:
Flexibility: Allows two objects to rotate relative to each other in a plane, providing greater freedom of motion.
Stability: Compact and strong structure to ensure the stability and safety of connected objects.
Easy maintenance: The design of the flat hinge makes it easier to operate when parts need to be removed or replaced.
Variety and selection
There are many types of flat hinges, such as in-line, self-unloading, etc., which can be selected according to different installation combinations. In addition, according to the different opening Angle of the door panel, there are 90 degrees, 100 degrees, 110 degrees, 180 degrees, 270 degrees and other specifications of flat hinges to choose from. The selection should be considered according to the specific use scenario and requirements.
