a second core shaft, parallel to said first core shaft and pivoted at said lower end of said main body;

a second engaging cam, sleeved and engaged on said second core shaft and disposed close to a lower opened portion of said penetrated hole, the periphery of said second engaging cam being formed with at least a second engaging part; and

an insertion pin, received in said penetrated hole of said connecting support, an upper and a lower end of said insertion pin being respectively corresponding to said first engaging part and said second engaging part, the periphery of said insertion pin being formed with at least one cut surface capable of being tightly adjacent to the wall surface thereby allowing the upper end of said insertion pin to be in contact with the periphery of said first engaging cam in a rotating status and the lower end of said insertion pin to be correspondingly mounted in said second engaging part so as to lock said second engaging cam, or allowing the upper end of said insertion pin to be correspondingly mounted in said first engaging part so as to lock said first engaging cam and the lower end of said insertion pin to be in contact with the periphery of said second engaging cam in a rotating status.

2. The pin locking dual shaft hinge as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least one cut surface of said insertion pin is further formed with two cut surfaces, each of said cut surfaces is formed through cutting from the upper end of said insertion pin to the lower end of said insertion pin, and each of said cut surfaces is formed with a concave part, so each of said cut surfaces is enabled to be respectively adjacent to a wall surface of said main body and adjacent to the corresponding inner wall of said penetrated hole.

3. The pin locking dual shaft hinge as claimed in claim 1, further including two position limiting fasten sheets, each of said position limiting fasten sheets is formed with a pivot hole and two buckle parts, the periphery of said first connecting member is formed with two buckle slots, said two buckle parts of said two position limiting fasten sheets are respectively buckled with said two buckle slots thereby allowing said position limiting fasten sheets to be respectively disposed at two opposite ends of said first connecting member so as to form a symmetrical status, and said first core shaft and said second core shaft arranged in parallel are respectively pivoted in said pivot hole of each of said position limiting fasten sheets.

4. The pin locking dual shaft hinge as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least one cut surface of said insertion pin is further formed with two cut surfaces, the periphery of said insertion pin defined between the upper and the lower end thereof is further formed with two plane surfaces, each of said plane surfaces is staggeringly arranged with each of said cut surfaces.

5. The pin locking dual shaft hinge as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first engaging part is formed as a notch penetrating two opposite surfaces of said first engaging cam, said second engaging part is formed as a notch penetrating two opposite surfaces of said second engaging cam, the periphery of said first engaging cam and the periphery of said second engaging cam are respectively formed with an annular groove and a rubber ring positioned in said annular groove.

6. The pin locking dual shaft hinge as claimed in claim 5, wherein each of said notches is shallower than each of said annular grooves, thereby allowing each of said rubber rings to be respectively received in each of said annular grooves and respectively forming a buffer layer in said first engaging part and said second engaging part.

7. The pin locking dual shaft hinge as claimed in claim 1, further including a housing and a fasten member, two opposite ends of said housing are respectively formed with an accommodation slot and a through hole communicated with said accommodation slot, a second connecting member is formed on an opposite wall of said main body corresponding to said first connecting member, said second connecting member is formed with a connection hole, said fasten member is passed said through hole of said housing and received in said connection hole of said second connecting member.

8. A pin locking dual shaft hinge, including:

a connecting support, including a main body and a first connecting member, said first connecting member being disposed on a wall surface of said main body and between an upper and a lower end of said main body, said connecting support being formed with a penetrated hole penetrating said first connecting member, and said first connecting member being formed with a cut opening communicated with said penetrated hole;

a first core shaft, pivoted at said upper end of said main body;

a first engaging cam, sleeved and engaged on said first core shaft and disposed close to an upper opened portion of said penetrated hole, the periphery of said first engaging cam being formed with at least a first engaging part;

a second core shaft, parallel to said first core shaft and pivoted at said lower end of said main body;

a second engaging cam, sleeved and engaged on said second core shaft and disposed close to a lower opened portion of said penetrated hole, the periphery of said second engaging cam being formed with at least a second engaging part; and

an insertion pin, received in said penetrated hole of said connecting support, an upper and a lower end of said insertion pin being respectively corresponding to said first engaging part and said second engaging part, the periphery of said insertion pin being formed with at least one cut surface capable of being tightly adjacent to the wall surface thereby allowing the upper end of said insertion pin to be in contact with the periphery of said first engaging cam in a rotating status and the lower end of said insertion pin to be correspondingly mounted in said second engaging part so as to lock said second engaging cam, or allowing the upper end of said insertion pin to be correspondingly mounted in said first engaging part so as to lock said first engaging cam and the lower end of said insertion pin to be in contact with the periphery of said second engaging cam in a rotating status.

9. The pin locking dual shaft hinge as claimed in claim 8, wherein said at least one cut surface of said insertion pin is further formed with two cut surfaces, each of said cut surfaces is formed through cutting from the upper end of said insertion pin to the lower end of said insertion pin, and each of said cut surfaces is formed with a concave part, so one cut surface of said insertion pin is enabled to be adjacent to a wall surface of said main body and another cut surface is enabled to be corresponding to said cut opening of said first connecting member.
