## Abstract

The present invention relates to a hinge system of an electric door comprising a control module, an intelligent automatic recognition system for installing in a door or a door frame and including a recognition device and a sensing module, and a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly comprises a pivot housing, a power unit disposed in the pivot housing and electrically connected to the control module, a first hinge member having a first knuckle for sleeving on the pivot housing and a second hinge member connected to two ends of the pivot housing. The power unit comprises a motor assembly having a motor axis, a reduction gearbox having one end connected to the motor axis, a gear shaft and plural planetary gears, and a gear connected to the gear shaft of the reduction gearbox.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A hinge system of an electric door, comprising:
a control module;
an intelligent automatic recognition system electrically connected to the control module for being disposed in a door or outside a door frame and having a sensing module and a recognition device; and
a hinge assembly comprising a pivot housing having an interior space, a first connection portion disposed at one end thereof with a less diameter than a diameter of the pivot housing, a second connection portion disposed at the other end thereof with a less diameter than the diameter of the pivot housing, a first bushing sleeved on the first connection portion and a second bushing sleeved on the second connection portion; a power unit disposed in the interior space for electrically connecting the control module and having a motor assembly having a motor axis, a reduction gearbox having one end connected to the motor axis and a gear connected to the other end of the reduction gearbox by a gear shaft; a first hinge member having a first hinge leaf and a first knuckle connected to the first hinge leaf and shaped as a hollow tube for sleeving the pivot housing; and a second hinge member having a second hinge leaf, a second knuckle connected to one end of the second hinge leaf for sleeving the first bushing, and a third knuckle connected to the other end of the second hinge leaf for sleeving the second bushing.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The hinge system of an electric door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reduction gearbox comprises a seat having one side connected to the motor assembly and a first through hole for an insertion of the motor axis of the motor assembly, a planetary gear assembly connected to the seat and the motor axis by one side thereof and having the gear shaft and plural planetary gears, a planetary gear housing sleeved on the planetary gear assembly and connected to the seat by one end thereof, a cap having a perforation for covering the other end of the planetary gear housing, and a bearing disposed in the perforation of the cap and having a second through hole for an insertion of the gear shaft.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The hinge system of an electric door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pivot housing has a fixing segment in a middle region thereof and two circular embossing regions at two ends of the fixing segment respectively, and wherein the fixing segment and the two circular embossing regions are sleeved by the first knuckle of the first hinge member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The hinge system of an electric door as claimed in claim 3, wherein the fixing segment of the pivot housing is provided with plural first locking holes, the motor assembly and the reduction gearbox are provided with plural second locking holes corresponding to the first locking holes, and the first knuckle is provided with plural third locking holes corresponding to the plural first locking holes and the plural second locking holes.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The hinge system of an electric door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pivot housing is provided with a first positioning portion at a junction of the pivot housing and the first connection portion and a second positioning portion at a junction of the pivot housing and the second connection portion respectively, and wherein each of the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion is sleeved with a cushion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The hinge system of an electric door as claimed in claim 1, a power supply is further provided and electrically connected to the power unit.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The hinge system of an electric door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first hinge leaf is provided with at least one fourth locking hole, and the second hinge leaf is provided with at least one fifth locking hole.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The hinge system of an electric door as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second hinge member is provided with a gear sleeve accommodated in the second knuckle and having at least one positioning groove at a periphery thereof and plural first slots corresponding to the gear of the power unit for sleeving the gear tightly, and wherein the second knuckle is further provided with at least one positioning rod corresponding to the at least one positioning groove of the gear sleeve for positioning.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The hinge system of an electric door as claimed in claim 1, wherein an outer end of the second knuckle is provided with a first knuckle cap, and an outer end of the third knuckle is provided with a second knuckle cap.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)
