[0044] ​​The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown: This embodiment relates to a folding display stand, including a display frame, a base plate 7, and a support rod 5. The display frame has a rectangular structure, including a pair of short side frames 2 and a pair of long side frames 1. The long side frames include two long side frame segments 11 of the same length and a middle connecting piece 4; as shown... Figure 1 As shown: The corner connector includes an upper corner connector 9 and a lower corner connector 3. The upper short frame is hinged to one end of the long frame through the upper corner connector 9, and the lower short frame is hinged to one end of the long frame through the lower corner connector 3.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown: The lower corner connector 3 includes a lower corner body 31, a lower rotating member 32, and a lower pin 33. In this embodiment, the lower corner body 31 is provided with a first connecting end face 1 and a second connecting end face 311 connected at a 90-degree angle. The first connecting end face 1 has a directly formed insertion boss 312 for connecting with the short frame. The second connecting end face 2 is hinged to the lower rotating member 32 through the lower pin 33. The movable end of the lower rotating member 32 also has an insertion boss and is connected to the long frame segment 11. This allows the lower rotating member 32 to drive the connected long frame segment 11 to rotate 90 degrees around the lower pin 33 towards the inside of the frame.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown: The upper corner connector 9 includes an upper corner body 91, an upper rotating component 92, and an upper pin 93. The upper corner connector 9 and the lower corner connector 3 have similar structures, except that the upper pin 93 and the lower pin 93 have different inclination directions, thus ensuring that the upper and lower long edges fold to the same side; Figure 7 As shown: the upper corner connector 9 and the lower corner connector 3 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the long frame respectively to form an axisymmetric structure.

[0049] This embodiment uses the corner connector as an example to detail the design issues related to the tilt angle. For example... Figures 2 to 4As shown: the upper end surface of the connecting end surface two 311 of the lower corner connecting piece 3 is a left-high right-low inclined butt joint structure; the lower pin shaft is installed on the connecting end surface two 311 with the left end as the reference, downward and to the right end and to the inside of the frame; the straight line where the lower pin shaft is located forms an angle α with the horizontal plane; the straight line where the lower pin shaft is located forms an angle β with the vertical plane; in this embodiment, the angle α and the angle β are the same angle, forming a mutually complementary inclined angle structure, thereby ensuring that the long side frame and the short side frame can be parallel to each other after being folded obliquely; in order to minimize the volume after folding, the angle should be less than 10 degrees, and in this embodiment, the angle α and the angle β are both 3.5 degrees. In order to make the long side frame vertical after the frame is unfolded, the butt joint surface of the lower rotating piece on the connecting end surface two 311 of the lower corner body is designed as a left-narrow right-wide matching structure, and the plug-in boss formed by the movable end of the lower rotating piece 32 is vertically inserted into the long side frame 1; in this way, the lower rotating piece 32 will drive the long side frame segment 11 to fold obliquely in the corresponding direction, and the long side frame can be normally erected after unfolding.

[0050] As shown in Figure 6 : the middle connecting piece 4 includes a middle body 41 and a folding piece 42 hinged to both ends of the middle body through a pin, and the folding piece can rotate towards the outside of the frame along the pin shaft; two long side frame segments 11 are respectively connected to two folding pieces 42 through insertion, thereby realizing the inward folding of the long side frame; the middle body of the middle connecting piece is provided with a clamping end 43 for connecting with the fixed support rod 5 after the frame is unfolded.

[0051] As shown in Figure 9 : in this embodiment, the cross-sectional structure of the short side frame 2 and the long side frame 1 is the same, only the length is different. This embodiment describes the structure of the short side frame 2, and the inner side surface of the short side frame is provided with two insertion holes 21 along the length direction, which are used for insertion connection with the middle connecting piece 4, the corner connecting piece and the middle reverse connecting piece 8; an installation groove 22 is formed between the two insertion holes, which is used for the installation of the light emitting assembly 6; a clamping groove 23 is formed on both sides of the short side frame 2, which is used for fixed connection with the canvas around.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 : the frame is provided with a foot plate 7, and the foot plate 7 is fixedly connected with the short side frame.

[0053] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 : the hinge structure of the middle connecting piece 4 is normally designed, and the four corners of the frame are connected by the special corner connecting piece of the present case; through the upper and lower corner connecting pieces which are symmetrical about the axis, the left long side frame 1 is obliquely folded from the middle to the rear side of the frame, and the right long side frame is obliquely folded from the middle to the front side of the frame, thereby forming a front and rear staggered non-overlapping structure after the two long side frames are folded, thereby overcoming the limitation of the horizontal length of the short side frame.

[0054] As shown in Figure 6 : the height of the middle body 41 in this embodiment is adapted to the height of the long side frame 1 after folding. Finally, the exhibition frame can be folded into the minimum structure state.

[0055] As can be seen from this embodiment and the drawings, the exhibition frame of the present application does not require any tool assistance when folding, unfolding and fixed installation, and also does not require matching additional parts, and the installation and fixation are very quick and convenient.

[0056] In this embodiment, support rods are used to limit and stabilize the structure of the exhibition frame; of course, the present application can also not use support rods, for example, on the basis of the hinge connection between the middle body of the middle connecting piece 4 and the folding piece, the damping design or the clamping design or the tight fit design of the two is increased to ensure the relative stability of the position between the middle body and the folding piece after unfolding; similarly, the upper and lower corner connecting pieces can also adopt the above structure to ensure the positional stability of the long side frame after unfolding; finally, the further stability of the exhibition frame is realized by buckling the canvas, and the above damping design or clamping design or tight fit design is a conventional design, which will not be discussed further.

[0057] Embodiment 2:

[0058] As shown in Figure 10 , on the basis of embodiment 1, the folding exhibition frame involved in this embodiment is longitudinally expanded, including two pairs of long side frames 1. The exhibition frame introduces the middle reverse connecting piece 8 when expanding.

[0059] As shown in Figure 12 : the middle reverse connecting piece 8 includes a middle reverse body 81 and reverse rotating pieces 82 respectively hinged at both ends of the middle reverse body through positioning pins 83; the middle reverse body 81 is provided with a bayonet 84 for butt joint with the support rod; the reverse rotating pieces can rotate towards the inside of the exhibition frame around the positioning pins, and the rotating direction of the reverse rotating pieces 82 is opposite to the rotating direction of the folding piece on the middle connecting piece 4. As shown in Figure 11 : the middle reverse connecting piece 8 is a normal hinge structure, and one end of the adjacent long side frame 1 on the same side is respectively connected with the reverse rotating piece 82 through insertion; as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 : after unfolding, the left and right middle reverse connecting pieces 8 are fixedly connected through the support rod 5. When folding, the two long side frames on the same side are respectively folded towards the inside of the exhibition frame, and finally the two long side frames after folding through the middle reverse connecting piece 8 are stacked together to form a double-layer structure; but the same as embodiment 1, the two side frames after folding are in a staggered structure.

[0060] The clamping end 43 structure on the middle body is similar to the bayonet 84 structure on the middle reverse body 81.

[0061] Through the embodiment and the drawings, it can be seen that the whole folding and whole unfolding of the display rack is realized, the fast mounting and fast collecting purposes are achieved, the use requirements in the exhibition display field are greatly met, the length of the frame is not limited, and the use is flexible. In addition, the upper and lower short frame structures in the application can be different, and are determined according to the use requirements.

[0062] Embodiment 3

[0063] As shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 Based on the embodiment 1, the power connection structure between the two light assemblies mounted in the long frame section is optimized in the embodiment, so that the two light assemblies can realize the electric series connection structure after the frame is unfolded. Specifically, as shown in Figure 15 , a conductive column 45 penetrating the middle body is fixed on the middle body 41 of the middle connecting piece, and the two ends of the conductive column 45 slightly exceed the two side end faces of the middle body. As shown in , a conductive terminal 61 is arranged on the side of the light assembly 6 close to the middle connecting piece, and two conductive columns 611 extending to the side of the middle connecting piece and exceeding the conductive terminal are arranged in the conductive terminal 61 through a spring 612; the conductive column 45 and the conductive column 611 correspond in position and contact with each other after the long frame is unfolded; at the same time, the reliability of the contact between the conductive column 45 and the conductive column 611 is ensured due to the existence of the spring 612. When the display rack is folded, the conductive column and the conductive column are separated, and the safety between the two light assemblies is ensured.

[0064] In the embodiment, the light assembly fixed in the mounting groove is a lamp strip. In the embodiment, a tensioning strip 421 is additionally arranged on the folding piece of the middle connecting piece, so as to ensure the fastening of the long frame section 11.

[0065] The terms “vertical”, “horizontal”, “left”, “right”, “high”, “low” and similar expressions used in the present text are only for detailed description of the embodiment and the drawings, so that the design idea of the application can be better understood.

[0066] It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting from any point of view, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and therefore all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the involved claims.
