Multi-directional rotational sliding door self-closing device
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a multi-directional rotational sliding door self-closing device configured to automatically close a door moving along a rail straightly aligned with an extension rail. The self-closing device includes: a damper provided with a roller at its rear end and configured to move along the rail to automatically close the door and smoothen a closing speed; a roller assembly multi-directionally rotatably connected to a front end of the damper and configured to move along the rail; and a roller bracket connected to the roller assembly and fixed to an upper end of the door; and a coil spring inserted into an insertion hole provided in the roller assembly and configured to abut on a tip of the damper when the damper and the roller assembly are straightly aligned. The rail can be appropriately driven even when the rail is deformed. The damper and the roller assembly can be easily removed through a short space of the extension rail.
1. A self-closing device configured to automatically close a door moving along a rail straightly aligned with an extension rail, comprising:
a damper provided with a roller at its rear end and configured to move along the rail to automatically close the door;
a roller assembly multi-directionally rotatably connected to a front end of the damper and configured to move along the rail; and
a roller bracket connected to the roller assembly and fixed to an upper end of the door,
wherein the roller assembly comprises a support protruding from its rear end and a ring connector formed at a tip of the support and provided with a through-hole,
wherein the damper comprises a connector receptacle cavity formed at its front end where the ring connector is inserted and is rotated in multiple directions,
wherein a fixing pin penetrates through a portion of the connector receptacle cavity of the damper and the through-hole of the ring connector, and
wherein the diameter of the through-hole is narrowest in the center of the through-hole and progressively increases towards the sides.
2. The multi-directional rotational sliding door self-closing device according to claim 1 , wherein a lower side of the connector receptacle cavity is open, and
the support is inserted into the opened lower side of the connector receptacle cavity when the roller assembly is rotated downward with respect to the damper.
3. The multi-directional rotational sliding door self-closing device according to claim 1 , wherein the damper comprises:
a body,
a block disposed at a front end of the body and provided with the connector receptacle cavity at its front end,
a metal casing provided on outer side surfaces of the body and the block in a manner that fixes the body and the block, and
the roller provided at a rear end of the metal casing.
4. The multi-directional rotational sliding door self-closing device according to claim 3 , wherein the block comprises:
a first block provided with a first circular recess, and
a second block assembled with the first block and provided with a second circular recess combined with the first circular recess to form the connector receptacle cavity.
5. The multi-directional rotational sliding door self-closing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a coil spring abutting on a tip of the damper when the damper and the roller assembly are straightly aligned,
wherein the roller assembly comprises an insertion hole, and the coil spring inserted into the insertion hole.
