[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] As Figures 1-9 shown, a carriage structure with a dust-proof hinge includes a compartment body 1 and a compartment door 2. The compartment door 2 is connected to the compartment body 1 through a hinge body. The hinge body includes a hinge block 3 and a hinge base 4. The hinge block 3 is connected and cooperated with the hinge base 4 through an axle pin 6. A plurality of mounting screws 7 penetrate through the surfaces of the hinge block 3 and the hinge base 4. The number of axle pins 6 is two and they penetrate through the two sides of the hinge block 3 respectively to be connected with the hinge base 4. Two bushes 8 that cooperate with the axle pins 6 are fixedly provided on the surface of the hinge base 4. An oil injection assembly for manually injecting oil and lubricating the rotating connection between the bush 8 and the axle pin 6 is provided on the surface of the hinge block 3.

[0032] The oil injection assembly includes a housing fixedly provided on the surface of the hinge block 3 and an oil storage tank 17 provided inside the housing. One end of each of the two bushes 8 is fixedly penetrated with an oil inlet pipe 9. Check valves 27 are provided inside the two oil inlet pipes 9. A piston 24 is slidably provided inside the oil storage tank 17. One end of the oil storage tank 17 is movably penetrated with a push rod 19. The push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the piston 24. An oil injection pipe 25 is provided at the upper end of the oil storage tank 17. A plug 26 is provided at the upper end of the oil injection pipe 25. The other end of the oil storage tank 17 is communicated with a three-way oil outlet pipe 18. The two output ends of the three-way oil outlet pipe 18 are respectively connected and cooperated with the input ends of the two oil inlet pipes 9 through rotary joints. A transmission member for automatically injecting oil and lubricating the rotating connection between the bush 8 and the axle pin 6 is provided inside the housing. During use, by squeezing the push rod 19 to drive the piston 24 to move, the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 17 sequentially passes through the three-way oil outlet pipe 18, the oil inlet pipe 9 and the check valve 27 and enters the rotating connection between the bush 8 and the axle pin 6, playing a role in lubrication and ensuring the smoothness of the hinge base 4 during operation.

[0033] Furthermore, the transmission member includes a rotating shaft 13 rotatably disposed inside the housing and two support plates 14 symmetrically fixed to the inner wall of the housing. The rotating shaft 13 is constrained by a ratchet wheel at the rotating connection with the housing. A pawl cooperating with the constrained ratchet wheel is provided on the inner wall of the housing. On the opposite sides of the two support plates 14, a first gear 12 is rotatably provided through a hollow shaft. The end of the three-way oil outlet pipe 18 is located inside the hollow shaft. A sliding cavity is formed at the opposite ends of the two shaft sleeves 8. A sliding rod 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity through a spring 11. A second gear 15 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 10. Clamping holes 16 cooperating with the sliding rod 10 are respectively formed on the opposite sides of the two first gears 12. First ratchets 21 respectively cooperating with the second gears 15 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the rotating shaft 13. A sleeve 30 is rotatably sleeved in the middle of the rotating shaft 13. A torsion spring is sleeved at the rotating connection between the sleeve 30 and the rotating shaft 13. The spring constant of the torsion spring is smaller than that of the spring 11. A convex block 29 is fixedly provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 13. A travel groove 28 cooperating with the convex block 29 is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve 30. Third gears 22 respectively cooperating with the two first gears 12 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the sleeve 30. An L-shaped toothed plate 20 is fixedly provided at the end of the push rod 19 away from the piston 24. A second ratchet 23 cooperating with the L-shaped toothed plate 20 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the sleeve 30. During use, when the sliding rod 10 is misaligned with the clamping hole 16, the end of the sliding rod 10 is in sliding contact with the surface of the first gear 12, and the second gear 15 and the first ratchet 21 are located in the same vertical plane. When the hinge is in use, the hinge base 4 deflects back and forth (as shown in the attached Figure 1As described above, during the opening process of the door and window, the hinge base 4 rotates counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the hinge base 4 drives the bushing 8 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the bushing 8 drives the second gear 15 to revolve counterclockwise and gradually approach the first ratchet 21. Under the mutual cooperation of the second gear 15 and the first ratchet 21, the first ratchet 21 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate clockwise. The rotation of the rotating shaft 13 drives the sleeve 30 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the sleeve 30 drives the third gear 22 and the second ratchet 23 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the second ratchet 23 does not drive the L-shaped toothed plate 20 to move. Under the mutual cooperation of the third gear 22 and the first gear 12, the first gear 12 rotates counterclockwise, thereby driving the clamping hole 16 to deflect. Then, when closing the door and window, the hinge base 4 rotates clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the hinge base 4 does not drive the first ratchet 21 and the rotating shaft 13 to rotate. In the above process, after each opening and closing of the door and window, a relative displacement is generated between the clamping hole 16 and the slide bar 10. After the door and window are used for a long time, that is, after multiple opening and closing operations, the slide bar 10 and the clamping hole 16 will be aligned and clamped. When the slide bar 10 is clamped into the clamping hole 16 under the action of the spring 11, at this time, the second gear 15 and the first ratchet 21 are not in the same vertical plane. Due to the clamping of the slide bar 10 and the clamping hole 16, when the door and window are opened, the hinge base 4 rotates counterclockwise, which will directly drive the first gear 12 to rotate counterclockwise by the bushing 8. Under the mutual cooperation of the first gear 12 and the third gear 22, the third gear 22 and the rotating shaft 13 rotate clockwise. Then, when the door and window are closed, the hinge base 4 rotates clockwise, which will directly drive the first gear 12 to rotate clockwise by the bushing 8. Under the mutual cooperation of the first gear 12 and the third gear 22, since the rotating shaft 13 is restricted by the restraint ratchet and cannot rotate counterclockwise, in this process, the third gear 22 will drive the sleeve 30 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the sleeve 30 drives the second ratchet 23 to rotate counterclockwise. The counterclockwise rotation of the second ratchet 23 cooperates with the L-shaped toothed plate 20, causing the L-shaped toothed plate 20 to move, thereby driving the push rod 19 to move. The movement of the push rod 19 drives the piston 24 to move, squeezing out oil. When the sleeve 30 is restricted by the convex block 29 and the stroke groove 28 and cannot continue to rotate counterclockwise, at this time, the first gear 12 cannot continue to rotate clockwise either. And when the bushing 8 continues to rotate clockwise, one end of the slide bar 10 will withdraw from the clamping hole 16. At this time, the spring 11 is compressed. When one end of the slide bar 10 withdraws from the clamping hole 16, under the action of the torsion spring reset, the sleeve 30 rotates clockwise to reset. The clockwise rotation of the sleeve 30 drives the third gear 22 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the third gear 22 drives the first gear 12 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the clamping hole 16 to shift to the side away from the slide bar 10, that is, when opening the door and window next time, the slide bar 10 will not be clamped and cooperate with the clamping hole 16. And so on. After multiple openings and closings, the clamping hole 16 is continuously deflected and adjusted and then clamped and cooperated with the slide bar 10 again.After the hinge is used for several times, the effect of automatically replenishing lubricating oil at the rotating connection between the bushing 8 and the pin 6 is achieved.

[0034] Furthermore, the housing includes a first half-shell 5 and a second half-shell 31. The first half-shell 5 and the second half-shell 31 are fixedly connected by screws. The second half-shell 31 is fixedly connected to the hinge block 3 through a fixing plate 32, which facilitates the staff to disassemble the first half-shell 5 from the second half-shell 31 and is convenient for the staff to repair and replace the components inside the housing.

[0035] Furthermore, the L-shaped toothed plate 20 is in sliding contact with the outer surface of the oil storage tank 17. One end of the L-shaped toothed plate 20 is provided with an operating handle, which effectively ensures the stability of the L-shaped toothed plate 20 during the moving process.

[0036] Furthermore, the end of the sliding rod 10 away from the spring 11 is hemispherical, and the depth value of the clamping hole 16 is less than the radius value of the hemispherical end of the sliding rod 10, ensuring that when the hemispherical end of the sliding rod 10 is squeezed, it can be disengaged from the clamping hole 16.

[0037] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
