Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of life decoration articles, and in particular to a digital photo frame with a bracket capable of supporting in multiple directions and being hidden. Background Art

[0002] A digital photo frame is a device that can read media files such as photos, audio, video, etc. stored in a USB hard drive, SD card or similar mobile storage device, then decode these media files and restore them into media content such as photos, audio, video, etc. and play them on the screen of the photo frame. Users can move, delete, and perform other operations on the digital photo frame according to the menu design.

[0003] The existing digital photo frame with a bracket generally adjusts the inclination by rotating the bracket, but the bracket can generally only rotate around one axis, resulting in the digital photo frame being supported on the desktop only horizontally or vertically. However, in actual use, some media files are suitable for horizontal display, while some media files are suitable for vertical display. The bracket of the existing digital photo frame does not have the function of multi-angle adjustment, and the digital photo frame cannot be placed in both horizontal and vertical modes at the same time, resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, the bracket of the existing digital photo frame is either not completely hidden, or still occupies space and affects the appearance when not in use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a digital photo frame with a bracket that can be supported in multiple directions and can be hidden, so as to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a digital photo frame with a bracket capable of supporting in multiple directions and being concealed.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with a boss, the end face of the boss forms the first abutting surface, the boss is provided with a fixing groove penetrating the first abutting surface, the bottom of the fixing groove forms the second abutting surface, the hanging platform can be detachably engaged in the fixing groove, and when the hanging platform is separated from the fixing groove, the hanging platform can be abutted against the first abutting surface by the rotation of the first connecting shaft. Therefore, the hanging platform can be abutted against the first abutting surface or the second abutting surface by the extension and rotation of the first connecting shaft, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the support plate, and the operation is more convenient.

[0010] Preferably, the boss protrudes in a radial direction of the fixing base, and the fixing groove extends in an axial direction of the fixing base.

[0011] Preferably, at least two of the hanging platforms are protruding from one end of the first connecting shaft, and the hanging platforms are distributed at intervals along the radial direction of the first connecting shaft; the protruding platforms are provided with fixing grooves corresponding to the hanging platforms; thereby, the hanging platforms are subjected to balanced forces when they abut against the first abutting surface or the second abutting surface, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the first connecting shaft, especially when the first connecting shaft is in the extended second position, so that the pivot member can pivot around the stable first connecting shaft to adjust the position of the support plate.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting mechanism also includes an elastic member, which abuts against the end of the first connecting shaft and / or the hanging platform, and the elastic force of the elastic member keeps the hanging platform abutting against the first abutting surface or the second abutting surface, thereby ensuring that the first connecting shaft is stably in the retracted first position and the extended second position, so that the support plate can stably protrude from the photo frame body or be hidden in the photo frame body; when the elastic force of the elastic member is overcome, the first connecting shaft can be extended and rotated, making the operation of adjusting the state of the support plate more convenient.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the digital photo frame of the present invention has a connecting mechanism provided with a first connecting shaft, a pivoting member and a bracket. Firstly, the first connecting shaft is installed on the photo frame body and can be extended and positioned along a first direction relative to the photo frame body, thereby enabling the support plate to protrude from the photo frame body or be hidden in the photo frame body.

[0031] Combination Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the digital photo frame 1 provided by the present invention comprises a photo frame body 100, a support plate 200 and a connection mechanism 300 connected therebetween. The connection mechanism 300 enables the support plate 200 to be hidden in the photo frame body 100 or protrude from the photo frame body 100, and enables the support plate 200 to be rotated at multiple angles.

[0032] Combine the following Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, in the present invention, the connecting mechanism 300 includes a first connecting shaft 310, a pivoting member 320 and a bracket 330. The first connecting shaft 310 is installed on the photo frame body 100 and extends along a first direction, and the first connecting shaft 310 can be telescopic and positioned relative to the photo frame body 100 along the first direction. The pivoting member 320 is pivoted to the first connecting shaft 310 and has a second connecting shaft 322, and the second connecting shaft 322 extends along a second direction, and the second direction is staggered with the first direction. One end of the bracket 330 is pivoted to the second connecting shaft 322, and the other end of the bracket 330 is fixed to the support plate 200. Therefore, by pivoting the bracket 330 around the second connecting axis 322 or / and pivoting the pivot member 320 around the first connecting axis 310 to adjust the angle of the support plate 200, multi-angle rotation adjustment of the support plate 200 is achieved, so that the digital photo frame 1 can be supported and used at multiple angles; and, by extending and retracting the first connecting axis 310 along the first direction, the support plate 200 is protruded from the photo frame body 100 or hidden in the photo frame body 100.

[0033] See also Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the first direction (X-axis direction) is the thickness direction of the photo frame body 100, and the second direction (Y-axis direction) is the direction parallel to the surface where the back plate is located, so the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Of course, the first direction and the second direction are not limited to this.

[0034] Continue to combine Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the connection mechanism 300 further includes a fixed base 340, the fixed base 340 is fixed inside the photo frame body 100, and a mounting hole 341 is provided on the fixed base 340, one end of the first connecting shaft 310 is mounted in the mounting hole 341, and the other end of the first connecting shaft 310 protrudes out of the photo frame body 100 for mounting the pivot member 320. In addition, the first connecting shaft 310 can be extended, rotated and positioned compared to the fixed base 340. When the first connecting shaft 310 is extended compared to the fixed base 340, the support plate 200 is ejected and hidden, and when the support plate 200 is extended, a space is provided for the rotation of the support plate 200, and the first connecting shaft 310 is rotated to realize the positioning and release of the fixed base 340, so that the support plate 200 is kept in the hidden position and the pop-up position. By setting the fixed base 340, the connection between the first connecting shaft 310 and the photo frame body 100 is more convenient. Of course, it is also feasible to directly open the mounting hole on the photo frame body 100 and mount the first connecting shaft 310 on the photo frame body 100 without providing the fixing base 340 .

[0035] Combine the following Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting hole 341 passes through one end of the fixed base 340, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 341 is provided with a first abutting surface 3411 and a second abutting surface 3412 in a stepped shape, the first abutting surface 3411 is far away from the opening of the mounting hole 341, and the second abutting surface 3412 is close to the opening of the mounting hole 341. Figure 5 As shown. In this embodiment, a hanging platform 311 is protruded at one end of the first connecting shaft 310, and the hanging platform 311 protrudes along the radial direction of the first connecting shaft 310. The end of the first connecting shaft 310 provided with the hanging platform 311 is installed in the mounting hole 341, and the hanging platform 311 can be detachably abutted against the first abutting surface 3411 or the second abutting surface 3412, so that the first connecting shaft 310 can switch between the retracted first position and the extended second position. Figure 1 , Figure 6-9 As shown, when the first connecting shaft 310 is in the retracted first position, the hanging platform 311 abuts against the first abutting surface 3411 to achieve positioning, and at this time the support plate 200 is hidden in the photo frame body 100; when the first connecting shaft 310 is in the extended second position after moving, the hanging platform 311 abuts against the second abutting surface 3412 to achieve positioning, and at this time the support plate 200 protrudes out of the photo frame body 100 and provides space for the rotation of the support plate 200.

[0036] Continue to combine Figure 3-Figure 5As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the mounting hole 341 is provided with an annular boss 341a, and the boss 341a protrudes inwardly along the radial direction of the fixed base 340, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , Figure 5 Furthermore, the end surface of the boss 341a away from the opening of the mounting hole 341 forms the first abutting surface 3411, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 The boss 341a is provided with a fixing groove 3413 penetrating the first abutting surface 3411. The fixing groove 3413 extends along the axial direction of the fixing base 340. The bottom of the fixing groove 3413 forms the second abutting surface 3412. Figure 5 The hanging platform 311 can be detachably engaged in the fixing groove 3413. Figure 6 , Fig. 9 As shown, when the hanging platform 311 is engaged in the fixing groove 3413, it abuts against the second abutting surface 3412, thereby keeping the first connecting shaft 310 in the extended second position. Fig. 9 As shown, at this time, the support plate 200 protrudes from the photo frame body 100. When the first connecting shaft 310 slides inward, it will drive the hanging platform 311 to slide and gradually disengage from the fixing groove 3413, and when the hanging platform 311 disengages from the fixing groove 3413, the rotation of the first connecting shaft 310 can drive the hanging platform 311 to rotate to a position corresponding to the first abutting surface 3411, and at this time, the hanging platform 311 abuts against the first abutting surface 3411 to keep the first connecting shaft 310 in the retracted first position, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the support plate 200 is driven to move inward and hidden in the photo frame body 100. Therefore, by the extension and rotation of the first connecting shaft 310, the hanging platform 311 can be abutted against the first abutting surface 3411 or the second abutting surface 3412, thereby achieving position adjustment of the support plate 200 and making the operation more convenient.

[0037] Continue to combine Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment, at least two hanging platforms 311 are convexly provided at one end of the first connecting shaft 310, and each hanging platform 311 is distributed at intervals along the radial direction of the first connecting shaft 310, and each hanging platform 311 is preferably evenly distributed along the radial direction of the first connecting shaft 310. The protrusion 341a is provided with a fixing groove 3413 corresponding to the hanging platform 311, and each hanging platform 311 can be detachably engaged in the corresponding fixing groove 3413. In this way, the hanging platform 311 is subjected to balanced force when it abuts against the first abutting surface 3411 or the second abutting surface 3412, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the first connecting shaft 310, especially when the first connecting shaft 310 is in the extended second position, so that the pivot member 320 is convenient to pivot around the stable first connecting shaft 310 to adjust the angle of the support plate 200.

[0038] Combination Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixed base 340 includes a fixed bottom plate 343 and a protrusion 342 protruding from the fixed bottom plate 343, and the mounting hole 341 is formed in the protrusion 342 and penetrates an end of the protrusion 342 away from the fixed bottom plate 343. During installation, the fixed bottom plate 343 is fixed to the photo frame body 100, and the protrusion 342 protrudes along the thickness direction of the photo frame body 100 to facilitate the installation of the first connecting shaft 310.

[0039] In the present invention, the fixing base 340 can be formed in one piece or can be formed by separately forming at least two parts and then combining them, which does not affect the realization of its functions. Figure 2-Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the fixed base 340 is composed of two symmetrical components. This structural arrangement makes it easier to install the fixed base 340 and the first connecting shaft 310 .

[0040] Continue to combine Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting mechanism 300 further includes an elastic member 350, the elastic member 350 abuts against the end of the first connecting shaft 310 or / and the hanging platform 311, and the hanging platform 311 is kept abutting against the first abutting surface 3411 or the second abutting surface 3412 by the elastic force of the elastic member 350, thereby ensuring that the first connecting shaft 310 is stably in the retracted first position and the extended second position, thereby making the support plate 200 stably hidden in the photo frame body 100 or protruding from the photo frame body 100. When the elastic force of the elastic member 350 is overcome, the first connecting shaft 310 can be extended and rotated, making the operation of adjusting the state of the support plate 200 more convenient.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, two hanging platforms 311 are convexly provided at one end of the first connecting shaft 310, and the two hanging platforms 311 are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the first connecting shaft 310. Correspondingly, the connecting mechanism 300 is provided with two elastic members 350, and the two ends of each elastic member 350 are respectively abutted between the bottom of the mounting hole 341 and the hanging platform 311. The provision of the two hanging platforms 311 and the two elastic members 350 makes the elastic force on the end of the first connecting shaft 310 more balanced, thereby making the first connecting shaft 310 stably maintained at the first position or the second position, and the first connecting shaft 310 is not easy to tilt, which is convenient for adjusting the support plate 200.

[0042] More preferably, a positioning groove is recessed on the hanging platform 311, and one end of the elastic member 350 is accommodated in the positioning groove and abuts against the hanging platform 311, so as to prevent the elastic member 350 from being skewed when being squeezed during the extension and retraction of the first connecting shaft 310, thereby ensuring that the elastic force exerted on the first connecting shaft 310 is balanced; and the elastic member 350 is driven to rotate synchronously during the rotation of the first connecting shaft 310, so as to ensure that the hanging platform 311 can be subjected to the elastic force of the elastic member 350 when abutting against the first abutting surface 3411 or the second abutting surface 3412, and the first connecting shaft 310 is positioned by the elastic force of the elastic member 350.

[0043] It is understandable that the elastic member 350 may also directly abut between the end of the first connecting shaft 310 and the bottom of the mounting hole 341 , and may also stably maintain the first connecting shaft 310 at the first position or the second position.

[0044] In the present invention, the elastic member 350 is preferably a spring, but is not limited thereto, and other elastic members may also be selected.

[0045] Continue to combine Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the pivot member 320 further includes a pivot seat 321, the pivot seat 321 is sleeved outside the first connecting shaft 310, and the pivot seat 321 and the first connecting shaft 310 are slightly tightly matched. The pivot seat 321 can pivot relative to the first connecting shaft 310 when subjected to force, and the relative position between the pivot seat 321 and the first connecting shaft 310 is fixed when the pivot seat 321 is not subjected to force. This structural setting omits the positioning mechanism between the pivot seat 321 and the first connecting shaft 310, thereby simplifying the structure. The second connecting shaft 322 is fixed to the pivot seat 321, and the rotation adjustment of the support plate 200 around the first direction (X-axis direction) is achieved by the rotation of the pivot seat 321 around the first connecting shaft 310.

[0046] In this embodiment, the pivot member 320 includes two second connecting shafts 322, which are respectively fixed to the two sides of the pivot seat 321 and protrude in opposite directions, and the two second connecting shafts 322 are located on the same straight line. Figure 2 As shown, when the pivoting member 320 is installed, the two second connecting shafts 322 are both located in the Y-axis direction. The bracket 330 is pivoted to the two second connecting shafts 322, so that the bracket 330 rotates around the second connecting shafts 322 more smoothly.

[0047] Continue to combine Figure 3-Figure 4As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting shaft 310 is also provided with a first protrusion 312 protruding along its radial direction. Correspondingly, one end of the pivot member 320 is also provided with a second protrusion 323, which protrudes along the axial direction of the pivot member 320. When the pivot member 320 is installed, the second protrusion 323 thereon corresponds to the first protrusion 312 and can interfere with each other. In this way, when the pivot member 320 rotates 360° around the first connecting shaft 310, the second protrusion 323 can abut against the first protrusion 312, thereby playing a role of stopping and limiting. It can be understood that not providing the second protrusion 323 and the first protrusion 312 does not affect the implementation of the solution of the present application.

[0048] Combine the following Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 330 includes a pivot joint 331 and a fixing plate 332 protruding from the pivot joint 331, the pivot joint 331 is pivoted to the second connecting shaft 322, the fixing plate 332 is fixed to the support plate 200, and the rotation adjustment of the support plate 200 around the second direction (Y-axis direction) is achieved by the rotation of the pivot joint 331 around the second connecting shaft 322. Therefore, the rotation adjustment of the support plate 200 in two intersecting directions is achieved by the pivoting of the bracket 330 around the second connecting shaft 322 and the pivoting of the pivot member 320 around the first connecting shaft 310. Specifically, the rotation adjustment in two perpendicular directions (X-axis and Y-axis directions) is achieved.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pivot joint 331 and the second connecting shaft 322 are also slightly tightly matched. In this way, when the bracket 330 is subjected to force, the pivot joint 331 can be pivoted relative to the second connecting shaft 322, and when the bracket 330 is not subjected to force, the relative position between the pivot joint 331 and the second connecting shaft 322 is fixed. This arrangement also omits the positioning mechanism between the pivot joint 331 and the second connecting shaft 322, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0050] More specifically, the connection mechanism 300 includes two brackets 330, the pivot joints 331 of the two brackets 330 are respectively pivoted to the two second connection shafts 322, and the fixing plates 332 of the two brackets 330 are respectively fixed to the support plate 200. In addition, the two brackets 330 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first connection shaft 310 and are respectively fixed to the support plate 200. Therefore, the support plate 200 is subjected to a more balanced force when pivoting around the second connection shaft 322. It is understandable that it is also feasible to provide one bracket 330 so that it is pivoted to the two second connection shafts 322 at the same time.

[0051] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the back plate of the photo frame body 100 is concavely provided with a receiving groove 110, and the receiving groove 110 is used to accommodate the support plate 200. The shape of the receiving groove 110 preferably corresponds to the shape of the support plate 200, and the size of the receiving groove 110 is slightly larger than the size of the support plate 200, so as to be able to accommodate the support plate 200. And when the first connecting shaft 310 rotates relative to the fixed base 340, it can provide redundant space for the synchronously rotating support plate 200. That is to say, when the support plate 200 is accommodated in the receiving groove 110, the first connecting shaft 310 rotates relative to the fixed base 340 so that the support plate 200 pops up, and the space of the receiving groove 110 is sufficient for the support plate 200 to rotate a certain angle, as described later. Of course, the receiving groove 110 can be set to any shape as long as it can accommodate the support plate 200. Furthermore, a mounting groove 120 is concavely formed at the bottom of the receiving groove 110, and the mounting groove 120 is used to mount the fixing base 340. Figure 6 , Fig. 9 As shown, the fixing base 340 is fixed in the mounting groove 120, and the mounting hole 341 is connected to the receiving groove 110, so that the other end of the first connecting shaft 310 protrudes out of the photo frame body 100 to facilitate the installation of the pivot member 320. The support plate 200 can be detachably received in the receiving groove 110, that is, when the first connecting shaft 310 is retracted to the first position, the support plate 200 is received in the receiving groove 110, so that the support plate 200 is hidden. Figure 6 When the first connecting shaft 310 is extended and located at the second position, the supporting plate 200 is driven to move outward and pop out and protrude from the photo frame body 100, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, a rotation space is provided for the support plate 200. By rotating the support plate 200, the photo frame body 100 can be supported at multiple angles.

[0052] Recombination Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the adjustment principle and different use states of the digital photo frame 1 of the present invention are respectively described.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, when the support plate 200 is not needed, the support plate 200 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 110, and the support plate 200 does not protrude from the back plate of the photo frame body 100, so that the support plate 200 is hidden, the support plate 200 does not occupy extra space, and the appearance of the digital photo frame 1 is simple and beautiful.

[0054] Combination Figure 5-6As shown, when the support plate 200 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 110 , the hanging platform 311 abuts against the first abutting surface 3411 under the elastic force of the elastic member 350 , thereby achieving the positioning of the first connecting shaft 310 and the support plate 200 .

[0055] Combination Figure 7-9 As shown in the figure, when the support plate 200 needs to be used, the support plate 200 needs to be ejected first. Specifically, the support plate 200 is pressed inwardly so that the support plate 200, the bracket 330, the pivot member 320, and the first connecting shaft 310 move inwardly as a whole, thereby causing the first connecting shaft 310 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 350 and move inwardly, and then force is applied to the first connecting shaft 310 to make it rotate slightly, so that the hanging platform 311 at the end of the first connecting shaft 310 rotates to a position corresponding to the fixed groove 3413, that is, it is only necessary to rotate the first connecting shaft 310 by a small angle to make the hanging platform 311 correspond to the fixed groove 3413. In this process, the elastic member 350 rotates synchronously with the hanging platform 311. Then, the pressure on the support plate 200 is released, and the elastic member 350 restores its deformation and pushes the hanging platform 311, thereby pushing the first connecting shaft 310 to move outward, that is, the first connecting shaft 310 moves along Figure 2 The hanging platform 311 is moved outward in the X-axis direction shown in the figure, and finally the hanging platform 311 is engaged in the fixing groove 3413. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 350, the hanging platform 311 is stably abutted against the second abutting surface 3412. Figure 5 During this process, the first connecting shaft 310 drives the pivot member 320 and the bracket 330 to move outward synchronously, thereby driving the support plate 200 to move outward, and finally causing the support plate 200 to pop out and protrude from the photo frame body 100, as shown in FIG. Figure 7-8 A rotation space is provided for the support plate 200 so that the support plate 200 can rotate to adjust the angle.

[0056] It should be noted that during the ejection of the support plate 200, no relative rotation occurs between the support plate 200 and the pivot member 320, and between the pivot member 320 and the first connecting shaft 310. They move or rotate along the X-axis direction as a whole along with the first connecting shaft 310.

[0057] exist Figure 7-8 When the support plate 200 is shown protruding from the photo frame body 100, at least two hanging platforms 311 at the ends of the first connecting shaft 310 are engaged in the fixing grooves 3413, and the first connecting shaft 310 is positioned in the rotation direction, that is, the first connecting shaft 310 cannot rotate at this time.

[0058] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 7-10As shown, when the angle of the support plate 200 needs to be adjusted, the support plate 200 is pulled to make the two brackets 330 fixed thereto pivot around the second connecting shaft 322 at a certain angle at the same time, that is, the two brackets 330 pivot around the second connecting shaft 322. Figure 2 The Y-axis shown in FIG. 1 is rotated, and the distance between the bottom of the support plate 200 and the bottom of the photo frame body 100 increases. Fig.10 As shown, the support plate 200 can stably support the photo frame body 100. In addition, the rotation angle of the support plate 200 relative to the second connecting shaft 322 can be adjusted arbitrarily, thereby achieving any rotation adjustment of the support plate 200 around the second direction (Y-axis direction) and supporting the photo frame body 100 at any tilt angle. In one embodiment, Fig.10 The figure shows the supporting state of the photo frame body 100 by the supporting plate 200 when the photo frame body 100 is placed vertically.

[0059] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 10-11 As shown, when the photo frame body 100 needs to be rotated for use, for example, Fig.10 The vertical state shown is rotated to Fig.11 At this time, force is applied to the pivot member 320 to pivot the pivot seat 321 around the first connecting shaft 310. When the pivot seat 321 rotates 90°, the two second connecting shafts 322 are Figure 2 , the two second connecting shafts 322 drive the bracket 330 and the support plate 200 to rotate synchronously, so that the support plate 200 rotates 90°, and the bottom of the support plate 200 rotates to the lateral side of the photo frame body 100. At this time, the support plate 200 can support the horizontal photo frame body 100, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 And, in Fig.11 In the horizontal state of the photo frame body 100 shown, further force can be applied to the support plate 200 to make the two brackets 330 fixed thereto pivot around the second connecting shaft 322 at the same time, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the photo frame body 100 in the horizontal state.

[0060] It is understandable that the pivot seat 321 is not limited to pivoting 90° around the first connecting axis 310 to place the photo frame body 100 in a horizontal state. The pivot seat 321 can pivot at any angle around the first connecting axis 310 to support the photo frame body 100 at any angle.

[0061] Combination Figure 1-2 , Figure 5-6 , Fig.10As shown, when the support plate 200 needs to be hidden again, force is applied to the support plate 200 to pivot the bracket 330 around the second connecting shaft 322 or / and pivot the pivot seat 321 around the first connecting shaft 310, and finally pivot the support plate 200 to a state where its shape corresponds to the shape of the receiving groove 110, for example, the support plate 200 is pivoted to a state where its length direction is opposite to the length direction of the receiving groove 110 and its width direction is opposite to the width direction of the receiving groove 110, that is, the support plate 200 is pivoted to Fig.10 The state shown is to enable the support plate 200 to be accommodated in the receiving groove 110. The pivoting method of the support plate 200 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is as described above. Of course, if the size of the receiving groove 110 is large enough to accommodate the support plate 200 at any angle, the aforementioned adjustment step is not required.

[0062] exist Fig.10 In the state shown, the hanging platform 311 is engaged in the fixing groove 3413, and the hanging platform 311 abuts against the second abutting surface 3412 under the elastic force of the elastic member 350. Figure 5 shown.

[0063] Then, the support plate 200 is pressed inwards, so that the support plate 200, the bracket 330, the pivot member 320, and the first connecting shaft 310 move inwards as a whole. In this process, the first connecting shaft 310 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 350 and moves inwards. When the hanging platform 311 at the end of the first connecting shaft 310 slides out of the fixed groove 3413, force is applied to the first connecting shaft 310 to rotate the first connecting shaft 310 by a small angle, so that the hanging platform 311 at the end of the first connecting shaft 310 rotates to a position corresponding to the boss 341a. In other words, it is only necessary to rotate the first connecting shaft 310 by a small angle so that the hanging platform 311 corresponds to the first abutment surface 3411. In this process, the elastic member 350 rotates synchronously with the hanging platform 311. When the pressure on the support plate 200 is released, the elastic member 350 restores its deformation and pushes the hanging platform 311, so that the hanging platform 311 abuts against the first abutment surface 3411. Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting shaft 310 is positioned. At this time, the support plate 200 is hidden in the photo frame body 100. Figure 1 , Figure 6 shown.

[0064] In summary, the digital photo frame 1 of the present invention has a connecting mechanism 300 provided with a first connecting shaft 310, a pivot member 320 and a bracket 330. First, the first connecting shaft 310 is installed on the photo frame body 100 and can be extended and positioned along a first direction relative to the photo frame body 100, thereby allowing the support plate 200 to protrude from the photo frame body 100 or be hidden in the photo frame body 100. When the support plate 200 is hidden in the photo frame body 100, the aesthetics of the digital photo frame 1 is improved, and the space occupied by the support plate 200 is reduced. , and when the support plate 200 protrudes from the photo frame body 100, a rotation space is provided for the support plate 200 to facilitate angle adjustment; secondly, through the pivot connection between the pivot member 320 and the first connecting shaft 310, and the pivot connection between the bracket 330 and the second connecting shaft 322 of the pivot member 320, the support plate 200 can be pivotally adjusted in two intersecting directions, thereby achieving any angle adjustment of the support plate 200. The support plate 200 can be rotated at multiple angles to achieve multi-directional support, making the use of the digital photo frame 1 more convenient and improving the user experience.

[0065] The display screen and internal electronic components of the digital photo frame 1 involved in the present invention are conventional structures well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
