[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the inner peripheral wall of the rotating ring 21 is provided with a plurality of spaced driving grooves 21a, each driving groove 21a constitutes a linkage portion, and the bottom wall of each driving groove 21a abuts the outer wall of an upper joint 31, wherein please refer to Figure 8 , the direction in which the rotating driving groove 21a drives the free end of each upper joint 31 to relatively approach rotation is defined as the first direction, the groove depth of the driving groove 21a gradually decreases in the direction opposite to the first direction, so that it is not necessary to set a plurality of structures capable of pushing the upper joint 31 to rotate, and the relative rotation of the rotating joint assembly 30 can be completed by using the inner peripheral wall of the rotating ring 21, which is simple in structure and greatly reduces the material cost of the soft light box.

[0046] Further, in order to realize automatic rotation stop, please refer to Figure 2The inner peripheral wall of the rotating ring 21 is provided with a plurality of stop blocks 211 matched in number with the driving grooves 21a, and each stop block 211 is located between two adjacent driving grooves 21a. The upper joint 31 can abut against the stop block 211 to stop and limit the rotation of the rotating body 20. It can be understood that the opening and closing structure has a storage locking state of the supporting strip 50 and a relaxed locking state of the supporting strip 50. In the storage locking state, the limiting button 23 is in a rebound position, at this time, the limiting convex bone 231 is inserted into a limiting bone groove 10a, and at the same time, the upper joint 31 abuts against a stop block 211. Then, the key cap is pressed to unlock the opening and closing mechanism, and then the rotating handle 22 is rotated by a certain angle, and then the upper joint 31 abuts against another stop block 211. At this time, the rotating handle 22 cannot be continuously rotated, and then the pressing on the key cap is released, the limiting convex bone 231 rebounds into another limiting bone groove 10a, so that the opening and closing mechanism enters the relaxed locking state.

Each limiting channel 11a has a first inclined wall 11a1 and a first limiting wall 11a2, the first inclined wall 11a1 and the first limiting wall 11a2 are distributed in the radial direction of the shaft upper body 11, and the first inclined wall 11a1 is arranged away from the central axis of the shaft upper body 11. The two side walls of the upper joint 31 distributed in the radial direction of the shaft upper body 11 can abut against the first inclined wall 11a1 and the first limiting wall 11a2 respectively. It can be understood that when the upper joint 31 rotates, it changes from a state parallel to the central axis of the shaft body 10 to a state inclined to the central axis of the shaft body 10. At this time, in order to prevent rotation deviation, the first inclined wall 11a1 and the first limiting wall 11a2 of the limiting channel 11a can abut against the two side walls of the upper joint 31. In this way, the upper joint 31 can only move along the limiting channel 11a, so as to limit the rotation direction of the upper joint 31.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figure 5 In order to improve the stability of the opening and closing structure in the relaxed locking state, the side wall of the upper joint 31 facing the first limiting wall 11a2 is provided with a limiting recess 31a, and the end of the first limiting wall 11a2 close to the shaft lower body 12 is provided with a stop convex bone 111. The limiting recess 31a can accommodate the limiting stop convex bone 111. In the process of rotation, the side wall of the upper joint 31 facing the first limiting wall 11a2 gradually approaches the first limiting wall 11a2 until the relaxed locking state is reached, the limiting recess 31a accommodates the stop convex bone 111, that is, the stop convex bone 111 relatively slides into the stop convex bone 111.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 The upper joint 31 is located on the part of the shaft body 11 structure is provided with an upper chute 31b, upper chute 31b along the length of the upper joint 31 direction, upper chute 31b is inserted into a first fixed shaft 311, both ends of the first fixed shaft 311 are fixedly inserted into the inner wall of the limiting channel 11a, specifically, the upper joint 31 in the limiting channel 11a occurs limiting channel 11a at the same time, also occurs relative to the shaft body 11 movement, so, can increase the range of motion and flexibility of the upper joint 31, and, after the open-close structure into the support bar 50 stretch lock state, the first fixed shaft 311 will be abutted with the end of the upper chute 31b away from the shaft 12, the limiting recess 31a contains the limiting stop convex bone 111, further improve the locking strength of the open-close structure; further, please refer to Figure 5 The shaft 12 is provided with a plurality of avoid position channel 12a, each avoid position channel 12a is located in a limiting channel 11a, avoid position channel 12a is communicated with the rotating groove 10b; each lower joint 32 is movably inserted into a second limiting channel, and the lower joint 32 includes the free end of at least part of the structure exposed to the limiting channel, so, can prevent the shaft 12 and the lower joint 32 position interference.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 7The lower joint 32 is located in the part structure of the shaft lower body 12, and a lower sliding groove 32a is arranged along the length direction of the lower joint 32, and a second fixed shaft 321 is inserted in the lower sliding groove 32a, and the two ends of the second fixed shaft 321 are respectively fixedly inserted in the inner circumferential wall of the limiting channel 11a. Wherein, when the upper joint 31 and the lower joint 32 rotate in linkage, the lower joint 32 can move towards the second fixed shaft 321, so that the second fixed shaft 321 abuts against the end of the lower sliding groove 32a away from the shaft upper body 11. It needs to be explained here that in the soft light box, the soft light cloth is usually made of a material with flexibility but without elasticity, which can prevent the soft light cloth from deforming. Based on this, the supporting strip 50 is movably inserted in the lower joint 32, and one end of the supporting strip 50 extends into the lower sliding groove 32a and abuts against the second fixed shaft 321. As mentioned above, the lower joint 32 rotates along the rotation track of the free end of the upper joint 31. At this time, in the process of opening the soft light box, the free end of the upper joint 31 in the opening and closing structure rotates towards the central axis of the central shaft body 10, thereby driving the lower joint 32 to move along the avoiding channel 12a towards the central axis of the central shaft body 10. At this time, the second fixed shaft 321 is in a fixed and stationary state relative to the lower joint 32. That is, when the lower joint 32 moves, the second fixed shaft 321 abuts against the supporting strip 50 and presses the supporting strip 50 to move outward, and the moving distance is the distance between the second fixed shaft 321 and the lower end of the lower sliding groove 32a. It can be understood that the other end of the supporting strip 50 is fixedly connected with the soft light cloth, and the soft light cloth is also fixedly connected with the opening and closing structure. For the supporting strip 50, in the supporting strip 50 storage and locking state, the length of the supporting strip 50 is divided into two parts, one part is the length connected with the soft light cloth, and the other part is the length extending into the lower sliding groove 32a. In the process of entering the supporting strip 50 expansion and locking state, the length of the supporting strip 50 extending into the lower sliding groove 32a is extruded out of the lower sliding groove 32a, and the position of the soft light cloth is fixed. In this way, both ends of the supporting strip 50 are subjected to a force, thereby arching, and finally the supporting strip 50 is stretched to open the soft light cloth. Further, when it is necessary to store the soft light box, the key cap is pressed to contact the locking state of the opening and closing structure, and the deformation force of the supporting strip 50 is used to reversely drive the lower joint 32 to rotate towards the central shaft body 10, thereby driving the upper joint 31 to return to the original position. In the storage process, no additional structure is needed to drive the upper joint 31 to return to the original position, and the storage of the soft light box can be completed. Based on the above, the opening and closing mechanism proposed in the application has few parts in terms of structure, the cooperation relationship between the parts is close in terms of movement, and only the thumb needs to be pressed and the hands need to be rotated to realize the use of the soft light box in terms of operation.

[0051] In an embodiment of the application, the free end of the lower joint 32 is provided with a barb structure 322, which is bent away from the shaft lower body 12. The barb structure 322 is used to connect one end of the soft light cloth, realizing detachable connection between the two.
