Self-balancing paint box

Abstract

The self-balancing paint box solves the problems that a user is inconvenient to carry during drawing examination or outdoor sketching, large in occupied desktop use space, unfoldable, unable to overturn or uprightly place and the like. In order to meet various painting requirements of users, the grids for containing the paint in the paint box are designed to be cylindrical and divided into a plurality of groups of grids, the groups are mutually independent and are provided with arc-shaped sliding covers, and the gravity center is designed at the lower half part of each group of grids, so that each group of grids can be automatically kept in a vertical state through the gravity of each group of grids. The circular baffle plates are used between the single grids in each group of grids, each grid can be ensured to be in an independent space by covering the circular baffle plates with the covers, and the possibility of color mixing among pigments is completely eradicated. Even if the paint box is rotated by 360 degrees on the same straight line, each group of paint in the box can be always kept in a vertical state. A circle of outer frame is further arranged on the edge of each group of grids, the fulcrum is upward, the gravity center is downward, the paint box can be inclined by a certain angle left and right, the paint box can still be kept vertical, and the jolt influence on the paint in the grids when a user carries the paint box is greatly reduced.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of painting tools, in particular to a self-balancing paint box. Background Art

[0002] Paint boxes on the market need to be placed horizontally when storing semi-fluid paints to ensure that the paints of various colors do not mix or overflow with each other. Therefore, they can only be carried by hand and placed horizontally when taken out. Since the aspect ratio of paint boxes is generally large and takes up a lot of space, they often bump into the legs when walking, and it is inevitable that the small amount of paint in the paint box will mix, causing a certain impact on the user. This application will make up for the functional defects of existing products and invent a self-balancing paint box to solve the problems of paint spilling, mixing, not being able to be carried in a backpack, not being able to be placed upright, not being able to be folded, and taking up a large amount of desktop space. Summary of the invention

[0003] Aiming at the shortcomings of existing products, the present invention proposes a self-balancing paint box to solve the above problems, and solves the problems in terms of material, shape, structure and usage of the paint box. It can be automatically placed horizontally without external force, which is convenient for users to use and carry.

[0004] Therefore, a self-balancing paint box is badly needed on the market to solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: As an improvement of the above-mentioned technical scheme, the self-balancing paint box uses an outer frame of an alloy material as the main body, and accessories such as steel pins, steel springs, and copper nuts as auxiliary materials. It can not only strengthen the structure, increase the connection accuracy of movable parts and the service life of the product, but also replace the parts damaged by bumps, which is convenient for cleaning and carrying.

[0006] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the self-balancing paint box is designed to have a "U"-shaped structure, with the outer periphery consisting of a structural frame (5) and the inner periphery consisting of a plurality of strip-shaped paint grid components (17). The strip-shaped paint grid components (17) within the structural frame (5) can automatically maintain horizontality according to the center of gravity, and the paint will not tip over when used.

[0007] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the self-balancing paint box is designed with two movable structures, left and right and up and down, in the structure, and a perforated spring (8) and a bow pin (9) are added. These two components for adjusting the sensitivity enable the outer frame (5) of the outer structure and the inner strip-shaped paint grid component (17) to be embedded in each other and integrated into a whole, which not only does not increase the size of the product, but also stabilizes the product structure.

[0008] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the self-balancing paint box can be connected by fixing two or more structural outer frames (5) through an opening and closing hinge (20), and can be folded to form a multi-layer paint box. The paint box can be used in an upright state, can be used upright, and can also be placed at any inclination for use, which not only saves desktop space, but also makes it easier to meet the user's usage habits and surrounding environment.

[0009] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the self-balancing paint box is no longer limited to a rectangular shape in terms of product appearance, but can also be a square or a circle, wherein the circular structure can be flipped to any angle left and right and up and down, and the paint in the box always remains balanced.

[0010] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the self-balancing paint box is provided with a box cover (7) in addition to the structural outer frame (5), and each strip-shaped paint grid component (17) inside is provided with a sliding cover (3) that can be opened and closed individually, which is conducive to the use of commonly used color pigments and can reduce the loss of pigment moisture.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] The self-balancing paint box uses metal materials and plastic materials to complement each other's functions, and utilizes the hardness, precision and wear resistance of the metal materials to greatly improve the product in terms of appearance and performance. While meeting the functions, the structure is also more compact and easy to carry.

[0013] The self-balancing paint box has multiple usage modes, such as horizontal placement, upright placement, tilted placement, and folded placement, which meets the various needs of users in different usage scenarios and improves the usage rate of the product. The self-balancing paint box not only has a box cover (7) on the outer frame, but also each strip-shaped paint grid component (17) inside is provided with an inwardly flipped sliding cover (3), which can be opened and closed individually or the strip-shaped paint grids (1) connected on the same straight line can be opened and closed uniformly, which not only facilitates the user's use of color pigments and makes the appearance more beautiful, but also reduces the loss of water in the pigments.

[0014] The self-balancing paint box can be stored and placed vertically in a backpack, without the need to be wrapped in a plastic bag and carried by hand like a traditional paint box, and the paint box needs to be kept horizontal and carefully carried as much as possible; it has a hidden handle (24) and can be carried directly, or the self-balancing paint box can be treated as a thick book and put into a bag and placed naturally, thereby increasing the practicality of the product.

[0015] The self-balancing paint box has a unique structural design so that the appearance of the paint box is no longer limited to a rectangle, but can be a cube, a cylinder, or a sphere; that is, the application scope of the product is increased, the use requirements of some specific scenarios are met, and the competitiveness of the product in the market is also enhanced.
