[0070] The folding device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] Embodiment 1

[0072] Reference Figures 1 to 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the folding device 1000 provided according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixing member 10, a switching member 30 and a locking member 40;

[0073] The fixing member 10 is provided with a locking protrusion 201; the adapter 30 is movably connected to the fixing member 10; the locking member 40 includes a buckling groove 401, and the locking member 40 is provided on the adapter 30;

[0074] Furthermore, when the snap-fitting groove 401 of the locking member 40 is snap-fitted into the locking protrusion 201, the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are locked and fixed; when the snap-fitting groove 401 of the locking member 40 is disengaged from the locking protrusion 201, the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are in an unlocked state, and the adapter 30 can be folded relative to the fixing member 10.

[0075] Based on the above, it is clear that the present application is mainly used as a folding device 1000 during specific implementation.

[0076] Compared with the traditional folding mechanism, the present application is provided with the locking bump 201 and the locking member 40, and the locking member 40 includes a fastening groove 401. When the fastening groove 401 of the locking member 40 is fastened to the locking bump 201, the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are locked and fixed, so that the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 can be used in an unfolded state. When used in the unfolded state, the fastening groove 401 of the locking member 40 is fastened to the locking bump 201, which can lock and fix them to each other, resulting in good use stability and reliability. At this time, the adapter 30 can be used as a transfer mechanism to connect an external member for use, such as a support rod provided on the soft light cloth of a soft light box. Of course, the adapter 30 can also be used independently, such as directly used as a support rod provided on the soft light cloth of a soft light box, or directly used as an unfolded member or a hanging member, etc.

[0077] As shown in comparison Figure 7 and Figure 8 When the adapter 30 is not needed, the fastening groove 401 of the locking member 40 can be disengaged from the locking bump 201. At this time, the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 will be in an unlocked state, and the adapter 30 can be movably folded relative to the fixing member 10. In this way, it is convenient to fold and store the adapter 30, so that it does not occupy a large space.

[0078] Moreover, for the above description, the meaning of folding in the present application does not necessarily mean that the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are folded and overlapped or folded. Even if they are folded at a certain angle to each other, it is still folding and is still within the scope of protection required by the present application.

[0079] Furthermore, in specific implementation, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are preferably rotatably connected, so that the adapter 30 can be rotatably folded relative to the fixing member 10, making its folding convenient.

[0080] And in this technical solution, the locking member 40 is preferably rotatably connected to the adapter 30, so that when the fastening groove 401 on it is fastened to the locking bump 201, the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 can be locked and fixed, and when the locking member 40 is rotated, it is convenient to drive the fastening groove 401 on it to disengage from the locking bump 201. At this time, the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are in an unlocked state, so that the adapter 30 can be rotatably folded relative to the fixing member 10.

[0081] Preferably, in the present technical solution, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a rotating shaft A302 rotatably connected to the fixing member 10 is provided on the adapter 30; a rotating shaft B402 rotatably connected to the adapter 30 is provided on the locking member 40.

[0082] And preferably, in the present technical solution, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a locking projection 201 is provided upward on the fixing member 10; a rotating shaft A302 rotatably connected to the fixing member 10 is horizontally provided at the first end of the adapter 30, and the second end of the adapter 30 is arranged away from the fixing member 10, that is, it is horizontally arranged or tends to be horizontally arranged so that its corresponding second end is far from the fixing member 10.

[0083] On this basis, the locking member 40 of the present application is arranged in the same direction as the adapter 30 and is arranged on the upper part of the adapter 30. A fastening groove 401 is provided at its first end, and a rotating shaft B402 is horizontally arranged in the middle thereof.

[0084] When the locking member 40 is pressed so that the fastening groove 401 at its first end tilts upward and disengages from the locking projection 201, the second end of the adapter 30 can be rotated downward to the vertical direction to be folded.

[0085] Thus, it can be clearly understood that when the user presses the locking member 40 so that the fastening groove 401 at its first end tilts upward and disengages from the locking projection 201, the second end of the adapter 30 can be rotated downward to the vertical direction to be folded. In this way, the adapter 30 does not occupy a large space when not in use.

[0086] Regarding the operation method related to pressing the locking member 40, it is simple and convenient, making the present application in this embodiment easy to use.

[0087] Furthermore, in specific implementation, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is a pressing gap between the second end of the locking member 40 and the second end of the adapter 30.

[0088] When the second end of the locking member 40 is pressed downward to reduce the pressing gap to a preset value, the fastening groove 401 tilts upward to disengage from the locking projection 201.

[0089] In this regard, it can be clearly seen that the above-mentioned related operations of the present application adopt the lever principle. When the second end of the locking member 40 is pressed downward to reduce the pressing gap to a preset value, the snap-fit groove 401 can be tilted upward to disengage from the locking protrusion 201. After that, it is easy to drive the second end of the adapter 30 to rotate downward to the vertical direction to be folded. The related operations are indeed very labor-saving, making the use of the present application indeed convenient and effortless.

[0090] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the present application further includes an upper push spring 50;

[0091] The upper spring 50 is fixed between the locking member 40 and the adapter 30 in a compressed state;

[0092] In one embodiment, the control Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper push spring 50 is fixed in a compressed state between the locking member 40 and the adapter 30, and is located between the rotating shaft B402 and the second end of the locking member 40, or between the rotating shaft B402 and the second end of the adapter 30, so as to push up the second end of the locking member 40 so that the snap-fitting groove 401 of the first end thereof is tightly snap-fitted with the outside of the locking protrusion 201.

[0093] Therefore, it can be clearly seen that the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are locked and fixed, so that when the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are in the unfolded state for use, the upper push spring 50 is provided for elastic reinforcement, so that the snap-fitting groove 401 provided at the first end of the locking member 40 can be tightly snapped onto the outside of the locking protrusion 201, so that when the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are in the unfolded state for use, the stability of the unfolded use is effectively enhanced, and such a setting also makes it easier and more convenient for the snap-fitting groove 401 to snap onto the outside of the locking protrusion 201 when the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are transformed from the folded state to the unfolded state. This is because during the snap-fitting process, the second end of the locking member 40 will be pushed up so that the snap-fitting groove 401 at its first end can move downward freely to snap onto the locking protrusion 201 autonomously, and the relevant action process does not require the operator to manually pry the locking member 40.

[0094] In another embodiment, the upper top spring 50 is fixedly arranged between the locking member 40 and the adapter 30 in a compressed state, and is located between the rotating shaft B402 and the first end of the locking member 40, or between the rotating shaft B402 and the first end of the adapter 30, so as to maintain a certain upward pressing force on the first end of the locking member 40 on the condition that the fastening groove 401 at the first end of the locking member 40 is tightly fastened outside the locking protrusion 201.

[0095] Therefore, it can be clearly understood that after the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are locked and fixed so that the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are in an unfolded state for use, if it is necessary to fold them relatively, press down the second end of the locking member 40 to reduce the pressing gap to a preset value. At this time, the fastening groove 401 will tilt upwards to disengage from the locking protrusion 201. In this way, it is convenient for the second end of the adapter 30 and the second end of the locking member 40 to fold downwards relative to the fixing member 10. During this process, since the upper top spring 50 maintains a certain upward pressing force on the first end of the locking member 40, when pressing down the second end of the locking member 40, the upper top spring 50 will always maintain an upward pressing on the first end of the locking member 40 to provide a certain amount of assistance. In this way, when pressing down the second end of the locking member 40, the related operation will be quite labor-saving, so that the fastening groove 401 at the first end of the locking member 40 can be quickly disengaged from the locking protrusion 201 to achieve quick unlocking, so as to assist the second end of the adapter 30 to quickly fold downwards relative to the fixing member 10.

[0096] Therefore, it can be understood that for the two installation positions of the upper top spring 50 described above, they are both preferred embodiments of the present application. As for the scheme of setting the upper top spring 50 above the rotating shaft B402 and other positions, they also fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0097] Furthermore, through the above optimization design, the overall use effect of the present application can be effectively improved.

[0098] In addition, during specific implementation, as shown in Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a connection hole 305 is opened downward on the upper end surface of the adapter 30, the lower end of the upper top spring 50 is fixedly clamped in the connection hole 305, and the upper end of the upper top spring 50 abuts against the lower bottom surface of the locking member 40.

[0099] Therefore, it can be clearly understood that by opening the connection hole 305, the lower end of the upper top spring 50 can be stably clamped, so that it is not easy to loosen and fall off, and its use is reliable.

[0100] Moreover, during specific implementation, as shown inFigure 9 As shown, it is a front view of the folding device of the present invention in the unfolded state. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the fastening groove 401 of the locking member 40 is fastened outside the locking projection 201 and the present application is in the unfolded state, the height of the first end of the adapter 30 is equal to or higher than the height of its second end.

[0101] In this way, when an object is hung near the second end of the adapter 30, or an external member is connected to its second end, such as a support rod provided on the soft light cloth for a soft light box, etc., the second end of the adapter 30 will naturally droop due to gravity, so that the fastening groove 401 will be firmly fastened outside the locking projection 201. In this way, it is convenient to drive the adapter 30 to be locked and fixed with the fixing member 10, so that the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 can be used in the unfolded state.

[0102] Again, in specific implementation, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of locking projections 201 are provided and are arranged in a ring on the fixing member 10, and a plurality of the adapters 30 and the locking members 40 are correspondingly provided; a plurality of the fastening grooves 401, the rotating shaft A 302, the rotating shaft B 402, the upper top spring 50, etc. are also correspondingly provided.

[0103] In this way, it is convenient for a plurality of the adapters 30 to be used individually or jointly, making their use flexible.

[0104] And preferably, in this technical solution, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the present application further includes a plurality of connecting buckles 20 arranged in a ring on the upper end surface of the fixing member 10, and a locking projection 201 is respectively provided on the upper part of each connecting buckle 20.

[0105] In the preferred solution, a plurality of limiting card slots 101 are cut downward in a circular shape on the upper end surface of the fixing member 10, and a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 are correspondingly fixed in the plurality of limiting card slots 101.

[0106] In this way, it is ensured that a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 are not prone to circumferential displacement during use, making their use stable. Of course, in actual application, a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 can also be integrally formed with the fixing member 10.

[0107] And preferably, in this technical solution, continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, fixing holes 202 penetrating the upper and lower end faces are respectively formed in a plurality of the connecting buckles 20; screw holes 102 corresponding to and located directly below the plurality of fixing holes 202 are respectively formed downward at the bottoms of the plurality of limiting card slots 101;

[0108] Based on this, in the present application, a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 are integrally connected to the fixing member 10 by fastening bolts 60 passing through the fixing holes 202 and the screw holes 102 at opposite upper and lower positions.

[0109] In this regard, it can be clearly seen that for the present application in this embodiment, a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 are detachable. They are clamped and fixed during use so as not to be easily displaced circumferentially, and are easy to disassemble and replace when damaged.

[0110] And, in specific implementation, still referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, rotating grooves 203 are respectively formed upward at the lower bottom surfaces of a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 near their outer ends, and both ends of a plurality of rotating shafts A302 are correspondingly and rotatably clamped in the plurality of rotating grooves 203;

[0111] Based on this, in the present application, the outer end faces of a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 are aligned with the peripheral side wall of the fixing member 10 in the vertical direction, and avoiding grooves A204 corresponding to and communicating with the plurality of rotating grooves 203 are respectively formed inward at the lower parts of the outer end faces of the plurality of connecting buckles 20; avoiding grooves B103 corresponding to and located below the plurality of avoiding grooves A204 are formed inward on the peripheral side wall of the fixing member 10; a plurality of groups of the avoiding grooves A204 and the avoiding grooves B103 at opposite upper and lower positions correspondingly provide rotational avoidance for a plurality of the adapter members 30, and the lateral widths of the openings of the plurality of avoiding grooves A204 and the lateral widths of the openings of the avoiding grooves B103 at opposite upper and lower positions are both smaller than the lengths of the corresponding rotating shafts A302 at the corresponding positions.

[0112] In this regard, it can be clearly seen that in the present application, the outer end faces of a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 are aligned with the peripheral side wall of the fixing member 10 in the vertical direction, and the rotational connection of a plurality of the adapter members 30 is realized by providing a plurality of the rotating grooves 203, a plurality of the avoiding grooves A204 and a plurality of the avoiding grooves B103, so that the structures of the fixing member 10 and a plurality of the connecting buckles 20 can be fully utilized in the present application, the overall volume of the present application can be greatly reduced, so that the whole formed by the present application is very small and delicate without occupying much space, making it convenient to carry, and after a plurality of the adapter members 30 are folded downward, the overall volume of the present application can become smaller, making the storage performance better.

[0113] In addition, in the specific implementation, the control Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the longitudinal sections of the plurality of locking members 40 are all formed into an inverted U-shaped structure, so that the left and right sides thereof are correspondingly enclosed outside the upper portions of the plurality of adapter members 30 .

[0114] In this way, the overall thickness of the upper and lower parts of the present application can be greatly reduced, making it further compact and exquisite without taking up more space.

[0115] On this basis, continue to compare Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the adapter members 30 are respectively provided with rotation holes 304 passing through the left and right end faces thereof in the middle portion; a plurality of the rotation shafts B402 are correspondingly arranged through the plurality of the rotation holes 304 , and their left and right ends are correspondingly connected to the middle portions of the left and right sides of the plurality of the locking members 40 .

[0116] In this way, the middle portions of the plurality of locking members 40 of the present application and the upper portions of the plurality of adapter members 30 are correspondingly rotatably connected.

[0117] Furthermore, in the specific implementation, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing member 10 is formed into a ring-shaped structure, and an installation space is formed inside the fixing member 10, and the installation space is suitable for clamping the light-emitting body or for fixing the fixing chuck 70 for mounting the light-emitting body.
