The difference between hinge sliding hinge

1. Hinge usually refers to the four-bar linkage that keeps the sash open or closed when it moves and rotates. Sometimes it can also be a six-bar linkage or other linkage structure. Its force characteristic is that it bears the main force during the opening and closing of the sash. Vertical load (such as gravity) and horizontal load (such as wind). The hinge is mainly subjected to shear force in casement windows and mainly axial force in upper-hung windows. This is the essential difference between the two types of hinges, so they must not be mixed. In addition, the opening angle of the casement window is generally required to be large, so the hinge translation stroke is required to be longer, so generally 1/2 to 2/3 of the window width is required, and the upper-hung window is generally about 1/2.

3. Hinge usually refers to a device that keeps the window sash turning when it is opened or closed, and belongs to a system with a rotating shaft.

1. Hinge and sliding support are used at different positions. The above hanging window is an example. The hinge is used at the corner above the window, and the wind brace is at the corner below the window, or the middle and lower parts. The sliding support and the hinge have different functions: the hinge supports the movement of the window sash and keeps it open. It is an important force-bearing member during the whole process, while the sliding support only works when maintaining the opening angle of the window, and the force is generally small (The force can be obtained according to the moment balance). For the same window, the hinge installation position is relatively fixed, while the wind brace can be adjusted in a larger range under the window. The length and installation position of the wind brace determine the range of the opening angle of the window sash.
