Specifically, the buffer mechanism 10 and the damping mechanism 5 are disposed on both sides of the moving element 3 respectively.
In a practical application, the cover 9 is opened manually, and the cover 9 drives the fixed mechanism 4 to move upward, so that the fixed mechanism 4 can be opened with respect to the base 1, and the fixed mechanism 4 drives the moving element 3 to move, and the moving element 3 drives the connecting element 2 to rotate, and the connecting element 2 compresses the damping mechanism 5, and the damping mechanism 5 buffers the connecting element 2. Now, the buffering part 102 of the buffer mechanism 10 is stretched to abut the connecting element 2, and the buffer mechanism 10 provides an upward moving force to the moving element 3 from the connecting element 2 to facilitate opening the cover 9, so as to achieve the labor saving effect. When the fixed mechanism 4 is opened to a specific angle, the fixed mechanism 4 is released manually, and the damping mechanism 5 is reset to abut the connecting element 2, and the connecting element 2 pushes the moving element 3, and the moving element 3 drives the fixed mechanism 4 to be opened automatically, slowly and accordingly to a predetermined open angle. Similarly, when the fixed mechanism 4 is closed with respect to the base 1, the connecting element 2 compresses the buffering part 102 of the buffer mechanism 10, and the buffering part 102 buffers the connecting element 2, and the buffer mechanism 10 moves the moving element 3 downward to provide a buffering force through the connecting element 2, so as to achieve the buffering effect of opening and closing the cover 9. When the fixed mechanism 4 is closed to a specific angle with respect to the base 1, the damping mechanism 5 is compressed, and the fixed mechanism 4 is released manually, and the fixed mechanism 4 together with the cover 9 are closed automatically, slowly and accordingly under the effect of the damping mechanism 5.

In addition, the buffer force of the buffering part 102 can be adjusted by the buffer adjusting member 103 according to actual requirements to improve the practicality of the present invention;

During disassembling, the opening/closing assembly 43 is pressed to release the fastener 42, so that the fastener 42 is loosened from the housing 41, and the fastener 42 can be removed from the housing 41. Therefore, the fastener 42 and housing 41 can be assembled or disassembled conveniently to improve the efficiency of the assembling and disassembling process and makes the application convenient to our daily life. The housing 41 has a plug-in shaft 411, and the fastener 42 has a plug-in slot 421 formed at an end of the fastener 42 for accommodating the plug-in shaft 411. When the fastener 42 and the housing 41 are assembled, the plug-in shaft 411 is accommodated in the plug-in slot 421, so that the fastener 42 and the housing 41 can be latched or coupled easily. Obviously, such arrangement has the features of simple structure and ingenious design and facilitates the assembling and disassembling of the fastener 42 and the housing 41 to improve the efficiency of assembling and disassembling the fastener 42 and the housing 41 as well as the stability of assembling the fastener 42 and the housing 41.

Wherein, the pressing portion 4313 and the operating portion 412 provide a convenient operation to users and improve the comfortability of the users' operation.
In this exemplary embodiment, the buffering part 102 is a buffer spring, and the buffer adjusting member 103 comprises a screw 1031 installed at the buffer seat 101 and a force tuning member 1032 coupled to the screw 1031 by a thread, and the buffer spring is sheathed on the outer side of the screw 1031, and the buffer spring has an end abutting the force tuning member and the other end abutting the connecting element. When the buffer force of the buffering part 102 is adjusted, the force tuning member 1032 is rotated, so that the force tuning member 1032 can be moved up and down along the screw 1031 to abut against the buffer spring. Since the buffer spring is compressed in different levels and the resilience of the buffer spring varies, therefore the buffer force of the buffer spring can be changed.

When the fastener 42 is installed into its position, the fastener 42 abuts the limiter 63, and the free end of the limiter 63 abuts the rotating member 61, and the limiter 63 positions the rotating member 61 and fastener 42. When the fastener 42 has not been installed to the housing 41, the protective torsion spring 62 drives the rotating member 61 to rotate with respect to the housing 41, and an end of the rotating member 61 is engaged with the snap shaft 413, so that the snap shaft 413 is received in the snap slot 611, and the other end of the rotating member 61 abuts the limiter 63, so that the limiter 63 is rotated upward, and the rotating member 61 and the limiter 63 give the effect of a "safety buckle". When the fastener 42 is not installed into its position, the opening/closing assembly 43 cannot fix the fastener 42 and the housing 41 to prevent damaging the fixed mechanism 4, extending the service life of the fixed mechanism 4, or improving the safety of the fixed mechanism 4.
