Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of door and window hinges, and for example, relates to an eccentric hinge.


BACKGROUND

In a related art, a hinge used on a window frame and a window sash can be designed in such a manner that a fixing rod and a rail are vertically aligned. Namely, when the hinge is in a closed state, a first centerline of the fixing rod and a second centerline of the rail are mutually overlapped. Through such structural design, processing of the hinge is convenient to control, since materials of the window frame and the window sash in the related art are mostly formed by extrusion of aluminum alloy (the extrusion is a plastic processing method for applying strong pressure on metal blanks placed in a mold cavity (or an extrusion cylinder) to force the metal blanks to produce directional plastic deformation for extruding the metal blanks from mold holes of an extrusion mold to obtain a part or semi-finished product having required section shape and size and certain mechanical property). According to a design standard for door notch and window notch, to reduce an installation error between the window sash and the window frame, a width of the notch in the window frame is different from a width of the notch in the window sash, a side of the notch in a window frame is aligned with a side of the notch in a window sash, and a centerline of the notch in a window frame and a centerline of the notch in a window sash are not in line. When a first centerline of the fixing rod and a second centerline of the fixing rod installation groove in the hinge are not in line, installation precision between the window frame and the window sash may be influenced.


SUMMARY

An eccentric hinge includes a rail, a stop block arranged on a first end of the rail, a fixing rod parallel with the rail, a sliding block, a connecting rod and a transmission rod, wherein the sliding block is arranged on the rail; a first end of the connecting rod is connected with a second end of the rail; a second end of the connecting rod is connected with the fixing rod; a first end of the transmission rod is connected with the sliding bock; and a second end of the transmission rod is connected with the connecting rod; when the eccentric hinge is in a closed state, a first centerline of the fixing rod and a second centerline of the rail are parallel lines in a same plane; and a distance between the parallel lines is greater than 0 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm.
