[0025] And the specific embodiment of the limiting force adjusting structure 4 and the pin shaft 3 is shown in the figure Figure 4As shown, the limiting force adjusting structure 4 comprises an elastic member 41 and an adjusting member 42, the adjusting member 42 is connected with the elastic member 41; the pin shaft 3 has an elastic cavity 31, the elastic cavity 31 is located between the first sleeve 11 and the second sleeve 2, the elastic cavity 31 is arranged through front and back; the elastic member 41 and the adjusting member 42 are adaptively installed in the elastic cavity 31, at least part of the elastic member 41 extends out of the elastic cavity 31, and the adjusting member 42 is used for adjusting the length of the elastic member 41 extending out of the elastic cavity 31.

[0026] Specific embodiments of the elastic member 41 are shown in Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the elastic member 41 comprises a spring ball 411, a spring 412 and a spring seat 413, the spring ball 411 is fixed at the top end of the spring 412, the bottom end of the spring 412 is sleeved in the spring seat 413, and the adjusting member 42 is preferably an inner hexagonal flat end set screw, which is convenient for adjusting by means of a hexagonal spoon. Specific implementation is shown in Figure 7 As shown, the hexagonal spoon is rotated, the spring seat 413 drives the spring 412 to compress or elongate, and drives the spring ball 411 to extend into or pop out of the elastic cavity 31 of the pin shaft 3, so that the first sleeve 1 can be connected with the second sleeve 2.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second sleeve 2 further comprises an adjusting nut 22, and the inner cavity wall surface of the second sleeve 2 is threadedly connected with the adjusting nut 22.

[0028] Further, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the outer wall surface of the pin shaft 3 has a ring groove 32, and the part of the pin shaft 3 with the ring groove 32 is adapted to be arranged in the inner cavity of the first sleeve 1. The ring groove 32 is a groove structure on the surface of the pin shaft 3, and when the first sleeve 1 is sleeved on the pin shaft 3, the protruding parts on both sides of the ring groove 32 will axially constrain the first sleeve 1, and if the first sleeve 1 moves axially, it will be blocked by the edge of the ring groove 32, thereby avoiding the accidental falling of the first sleeve 1 from the pin shaft 3 in the second position.

[0029] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 4 As shown, the first sleeve 1 further comprises a gasket 11 located at the bottom end of the first sleeve 1, which serves as an adjusting member to supplement the gap between the first sleeve 1 and the clamping frame 5, and to make the connection between the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2 tight.

In this technical solution, the fan edge 6 is integrally formed by the mounting section 61 and the arc section 62, and the arc section 62 is integrally formed with the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2, and the mounting section 61 is located on the side of the arc section 62 away from the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2, and is used for fixedly connecting with the window sash. When the two components connected by the hinge (such as the door and the door frame) are rotated, if the fan edge 6 is a right angle, the edge is easy to produce hard friction with the corresponding contact surface (such as the hinge groove of the door frame), which will cause edge wear, paint peeling or deformation after long-term use. The included angle 63 formed by the mounting section 61 and the arc section 62 can convert "point contact" or "line contact" into more smooth "surface contact", disperse the friction force, and reduce the probability of mutual scratching of the components, especially in the scene of frequent opening and closing (such as indoor doors and cabinet doors), which can significantly prolong the service life of the hinge and the connected components.

[0031] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
