What are soft close hinge? What is the principle of soft close hinge?

2024/12/8 views:

Many people might not be familiar with the buffer hinge. Its function is to close the door when it's not closed immediately but slowly, preventing damage to the door after an emergency closure. So, what exactly is a buffer hinge? What's the principle behind it? Below, we will provide you with detailed answers one by one. Hopefully, it will be helpful after your reading.

What is a buffer hinge?
A buffer hinge is a type of hinge, also known as a hydraulic hinge. It relies on a completely new technology to adapt to the closing speed of the door. Even if the door is forced to close, it will close gently, ensuring a perfect and quiet movement. The device consists of a support, a door box, a buffer, a connecting block, a connecting rod, and a torsion spring. One end of the buffer is hinged to the support. The middle of the connecting block is hinged to the support, one side is hinged to the door box, and the other side is hinged to the piston rod of the buffer. The connecting block, the connecting rod, the support, and the door box form a four-link mechanism. The buffer contains a piston rod, a shell, and a piston, which is equipped with a through hole and a hole. When the piston rod drives the piston to move, the liquid can flow from one side to the other through the hole, thus playing a buffering role.

What is the principle of the buffer hinge?
The hydraulic buffer technology enables the traditional hinge to avoid the harsh sound during closure, truly eliminating noise interference. This pioneering technology in the industry fully demonstrates the environmental design concept. Through the hydraulic buffering technology, the door starts to close slowly at 60 degrees, reducing the impact force and creating a comfortable effect when closed. It ensures that even after long-term use, there is no need for maintenance. The structure is fixed with double screws, and the base and the hinge arm are fixed with two screws, forming a firm combination between the door and the side panel and completely preventing the adverse consequences caused by ordinary single-screw hinges, keeping the door from loosening or falling.

What are the applications of the buffer hinge?
The buffer hinge is suitable for connecting the doors of closets, bookcases, floor cabinets, TV cabinets, cabinets, wine cabinets, lockers, and other furniture. The buffer hinge relies on a new technology to adapt to the closing speed of the door. The product, through the hydraulic buffer technology, makes the door start to close slowly when it's opened below 60 degrees, reducing the impact and creating a comfortable effect when closed. Even if the door is forced to close, it will close gently. It also ensures the perfect movement and quietness. The installation of buffer hinges makes the furniture more upscale, reduces the impact force and creates a comfortable effect when closed. It ensures that even after long-term use, there is no need for maintenance. The advantage of the buffer hinge is that the soft and silent feeling makes the home warmer and more comfortable. The main feature of the buffer hinge is that the door can close slowly within 4 to 6 seconds, the number of opening and closing can reach more than 50,000 times, and it can withstand the destructive force of pushing and pressing without deflation or oil leakage.

How to choose a buffer hinge?
1. The surface: Check whether the surface material of the product is smooth. If you see scratches and deformations, it indicates that it is produced with scraps. This kind of hinge has an ugly appearance and makes your furniture look less classy.
2. Hydraulic performance: We all know that the key role of the hinge is for switching. Therefore, this is very important. The key lies in taking the damper of the hydraulic hinge and the rivet assembly. The damper mainly depends on whether there is noise when opening and closing. If there is noise, it is an inferior product, and whether the round speed is uniform.
3. Appearance: Products produced by mature manufacturers will pay more attention to the appearance and will handle the lines and surfaces better. In addition to the general scratches, there should be no deep scratch marks, which is the technical advantage of strong manufacturers.
4. Closing speed: The speed of closing the door should be uniform. Carefully pay attention to whether the buffer hydraulic hinge has a stuck feeling when opening and closing. If you hear a different sound or the speed difference is too large, you should pay attention to the different selection of hydraulic cylinders.
5. Rust resistance: The salt spray test for considerable rust resistance. Generally, there are very few cases of rust after 48 hours.
