Although the hinge is a seemingly simple but complex device.As a mechanical engineer, we need to understand its principles, types, methods, and design calculation methods to make better use of it.
In our daily life, there are small objects that seem to be ordinary but crucial, that is hinge.Although it is small, it plays an important role in our lives and connects two objects to allow them to flexibly rotate.
Depending on the functions and the place of use, the hinges have various types, such as ordinary hinges, spring hinges, invisible hinges, autistic hinges, etc.Among them, ordinary hinges are the most common type and are widely used in various types of furniture.Its design is simple, easy to install, suitable for most cases.The spring hinge is built -in spring, which can automatically close the door panel. It is very suitable for the place where the bathroom and the kitchen need to automatically close the door panel.The invisible hinge is installed in the gap between the door panel and the cabinet. It is almost invisible from the appearance, and it can provide a more concise visual effect.As for the autism hinge, it has the function of preventing the door panel from being closed by itself, and is suitable for the occasion that needs to be kept open.
Why do hinges play an important role in daily life? There are two main reasons for this.The first is functionality.A good hinge can make the opening and closing of the door panel and the cabinet smoother, and extend the service life of the furniture.The second is aesthetic.High -quality hinges can not only play a fixed role, but also enhance the overall beauty of the furniture. For example, the invisible hinge can make the door panel and the cabinet blend into one, and it looks more neat and generous.
In addition to these common purposes, hinges also play an important role in industrial and scientific research.For example, in some precise mechanical equipment, hinges can help achieve accurate angle adjustment and positioning; in some large engineering projects, hinges can help to achieve flexible connection and adjustment of large components.
When designing hinges, the factors we need to consider mainly include the diameter, length and materials of the shaft.Generally speaking, the diameter and length of the shaft need to be determined according to the size and stress of the connected object, and the material of the shaft needs to be selected according to the working environment and use requirements.
Although the hinge is a seemingly simple but complex device.As a mechanical engineer, we need to deeply understand its principles, types, methods, and design calculation methods in order to better use it and make it useful in our design and manufacturing process.
