The base has a narrow slot. The connecting component has an axle hole. The pin slidably passes through the narrow slot and rotatably inserts into the axle hole. The connecting component can be rotated and/or shifted relative to the base via the pin. A reciprocating engaging mechanism includes a shaft, a rotary plate, a first engaging component and a linkage module. The rotary plate is rotatably disposed on the shaft. The linkage module is connected between the rotary plate and the first engaging component. Rotation of the rotary plate drives the linkage module to move the first engaging component into a locking mode or an unlocking mode. The liftable hinge mechanism and the reciprocating engaging mechanism are applied to an airtight device with a housing and a cover capable of being folded and unfolded. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A liftable hinge mechanism, comprising: a base, having a narrow slot; a connecting component, having an axle hole; a pin slidably passing through the narrow slot and rotatably inserting into the axle hole, multi-dimensionally liftable motion of the connecting component relative to the base being generated via a movement of the pin inside the narrow slot and the axle hole; and a constraining component disposed between the base and the connecting component, two opposite surfaces of the constraining component respectively abutting against the base and the connecting component in a slidable manner. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The liftable hinge mechanism of claim 1, wherein the narrow slot is a long-type narrow slot, a slot direction of the long-type narrow slot is crossed with a structurally vertical direction of the pin, and the pin is slid inside the long-type narrow slot along the slot direction. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The liftable hinge mechanism of claim 1, wherein the base comprises two slab portions, each of the two slab portions has the narrow slot, the connecting component is disposed between the two slab portions. ### Claim 4 An airtight device of preventing gaseous matter from leakage, comprising: a housing; a cover movably assembled with the housing; and a liftable hinge mechanism connected to the housing and the cover, the liftable hinge mechanism comprising: a base disposed on the housing and having a narrow slot; a connecting component connected to the cover and having an axle hole; a pin slidably passing through the narrow slot and rotatably inserting into the axle hole, multi-dimensionally liftable motion of the connecting component relative to the base being generated via a movement of the pin inside the narrow slot and the axle hole, so as to seal the housing by the cover for preventing the gaseous matter inside the housing from leakage; and a constraining component disposed between the base and the connecting component, two opposite surfaces of the constraining component respectively abut against the base and the connecting component in a slidable manner. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The airtight device of claim 4, wherein the narrow slot is a long-type narrow slot, a slot direction of the long-type narrow slot is crossed with a structurally vertical direction of the pin, and the pin is slid inside the long-type narrow slot along the slot direction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The airtight device of claim 4, wherein the base comprises two slab portions, each of the two slab portions has the narrow slot, the connecting component is disposed between the two slab portions. ### Claim 7 A reciprocating engaging mechanism, comprising: a shaft; a rotary plate rotatably disposed on the shaft; a first engaging component; and a linkage module, an end of the linkage module being connected to the rotary plate in a rotatable manner, rotation of the rotary plate driving the linkage module to move and switch the first engaging component between a locking mode and an unlocking mode. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The reciprocating engaging mechanism of claim 7, further comprising: a second engaging component disposed on position corresponding to the locking mode, the first engaging component being switched into the locking mode by inserting into the second engaging component, and further switched into the unlocking mode by being separated from the unlocking mode. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The reciprocating engaging mechanism of claim 7, wherein the linkage module comprises: a first guiding bar, an end of the first guiding bar being connected to the first engaging component for switching the first engaging component into the locking mode or the unlocking mode; and a bridging bar disposed between the rotary plate and the first guiding bar. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The reciprocating engaging mechanism of claim 9, wherein the linkage module further comprises: a restraining component adapted to cover the first guiding bar for allowing the first guiding bar to move along a specific direction. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The reciprocating engaging mechanism of claim 9, wherein the linkage module further comprises a transferring component connected to the other end of the first guiding bar; and a second guiding bar disposed between the transferring component and the bridging bar. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The reciprocating engaging mechanism of claim 9, wherein an amount of the first guiding bar is plural, and an amount of the first engaging component corresponds to the amount of the first guiding bar. ### Claim 13 An airtight device of preventing gaseous matter from leakage, comprising: a housing; a cover movably assembled with the housing; and a reciprocating engaging mechanism adapted to constrain a movement of the cover relative to the housing, the reciprocating engaging mechanism comprising: a shaft disposed on the cover; a rotary plate rotatably disposed on the shaft; a first engaging component; a second engaging component disposed on the housing; and a linkage module, an end of the linkage module being connected to the rotary plate in a rotatable manner, rotation of the rotary plate driving the linkage module to move and switch the first engaging component between a locking mode and an unlocking mode, so as to tightly shelter the housing by the cover for preventing the gaseous matter inside the housing from leakage. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The airtight device of claim 13, wherein the second engaging component is disposed on position corresponding to the locking mode, the first engaging component is switched into the locking mode by inserting into the second engaging component, and further switched into the unlocking mode by being separated from the unlocking mode. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The airtight device of claim 13, wherein the linkage module comprises: a first guiding bar, an end of the first guiding bar being connected to the first engaging component for switching the first engaging component into the locking mode or the unlocking mode; and a bridging bar disposed between the rotary plate and the first guiding bar. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The airtight device of claim 15, wherein the linkage module further comprises: a restraining component adapted to cover the first guiding bar for allowing the first guiding bar to move along a specific direction. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The airtight device of claim 15, wherein the linkage module further comprises a transferring component connected to the other end of the first guiding bar; and a second guiding bar disposed between the transferring component and the bridging bar. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The airtight device of claim 15, wherein an amount of the first guiding bar is plural, and an amount of the first engaging component corresponds to the amount of the first guiding bar.
