Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of folk handicrafts and bamboo utensils, specifically to a small bamboo bench cage for folk performances. Background Technology

[0002] The bench cage is a key prop in traditional bench dragon folk performances. It belongs to the category of folk handicrafts and bamboo utensils, and is commonly used in festival performances, cultural activities, and craft demonstrations. Made primarily of natural bamboo using traditional binding and mortise-and-tenon joinery techniques, it serves as an important carrier of local folk culture. Traditional bench cages are mostly large outdoor performance props, with a large overall size and fixed structure, primarily serving group performances. However, with folk culture becoming more integrated into daily life and handicraft teaching becoming more widespread, the market demand for smaller, portable, and easy-to-use bamboo bench cages has increased significantly. Traditional large props can no longer meet the needs of everyday, lightweight applications.

[0003] Currently, traditional bamboo bench cages are generally bulky, difficult to assemble and disassemble, unsuitable for children to operate, and unsuitable for home display or daily use. Most small folk crafts on the market are made of plastic or ordinary wood, lacking the environmental friendliness and durability of natural bamboo, as well as the texture and charm of traditional bamboo weaving. They also have poor structural stability, are easily deformed and damaged, and are not conducive to long-term preservation. There is currently no mature technical solution for small bamboo bench cages, making it difficult to balance craft inheritance, teaching use, and decorative display, thus limiting the promotion and inheritance of bench dragon culture in daily life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small bamboo bench cage for folk performances, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section of the prior art.

[0005] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a small bamboo bench cage for folk performances, including a handle, a base fixedly installed at the upper end of the handle, a plurality of fixing holes opened on the base, a front frame assembly and a rear frame assembly fixedly installed in the fixing holes, the front frame assembly and the rear frame assembly being connected by bamboo strips, and the connection between the bamboo strips and the front frame assembly and the rear frame assembly being fixed by wire.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the front frame assembly includes an inner frame, a middle frame, and an outer frame, which are fixedly connected by spokes.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the inner frame is provided with an installation groove, a bamboo strip is sleeved on the installation groove, a fixing block is provided on the spoke, and the end of the bamboo strip away from the installation groove is sleeved on the fixing block.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the fixing block is provided with a hanging groove, the bottom of the fixing block is provided with a cross-shaped slot, and a protective pad is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing block away from the cross-shaped slot.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the cross-section of the hanging groove is trapezoidal, and the short side of the trapezoid is the opening of the hanging groove.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, each frame on the rear frame assembly is fixedly connected to the spokes.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the front frame assembly and the rear frame assembly can be configured with 3-5 frame components, and the number of spokes can be configured with 5-12.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the base has a length of 20-40 cm and a width of 6-8 cm.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the length of the handle is 20-40 cm, and the overall height of the handle, base, front frame assembly, rear frame assembly and bamboo strips does not exceed 50 cm.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, all components are free of metal or plastic connectors, and are entirely connected using natural bamboo materials and traditional bamboo craftsmanship.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention utilizes a structure that combines bamboo strips, a fixing block, a trapezoidal hanging groove, and a cross-shaped locking groove. Since small bamboo bench cages are frequently disassembled and used in folk performances and handicraft teaching, traditional binding structures are prone to bamboo strip loosening and frame loosening. During assembly, rotating the fixing block creates tension on the bamboo strips through the trapezoidal hanging groove, utilizing the bamboo strips' inherent resilience to maintain a taut state and effectively preventing loosening and deformation caused by repeated disassembly and assembly. Simultaneously, the cross-shaped locking groove at the bottom of the fixing block forms a circumferential limit with the installation position, preventing the fixing block from rotating and loosening. This dual combination of tension and anti-rotation ensures the cage frame remains stable over a long period, significantly improving structural reliability after repeated disassembly and assembly, and greatly extending its service life.

[0016] This invention utilizes a base fixing hole, bamboo strip connection, and wire quick-fixing structure. Since small bamboo bench cages are often used in folk performances, classroom teaching, and on-site DIY projects, the requirements for assembly efficiency and aesthetic consistency are far higher than for traditional handmade bamboo products. During assembly, the bamboo strips are bound to corresponding points on the front and rear frames via wire. Simply aligning the fixing holes sequentially ensures even spacing between support points and symmetrical frame formation. The assembly process requires no complex tools or specialized skills, resulting in a uniformly perforated cage with a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Assembly is faster, product consistency is stronger, and the effectiveness for teaching and performances is enhanced. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a handle 1, and a base 2 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the handle 1. Several fixing holes are opened on the base 2. A front frame assembly 3 and a rear frame assembly 4 are fixedly installed in the fixing holes. The front frame assembly 3 and the rear frame assembly 4 are connected by bamboo strips 5. The connection between the bamboo strips 5 and the front frame assembly 3 and the rear frame assembly 4 is fixed by wire 7.

[0021] Furthermore, when the user attaches the handle 1 upwards, the base 2 fixed to the upper end of the handle 1 will be positioned and formed accordingly. Once the fixing holes on the base 2 are aligned with the front frame assembly 3 and the rear frame assembly 4, the front and rear frames will be reliably limited, thereby pushing the front frame assembly 3, the rear frame assembly 4, and the base 2 to form a stable support. While assembling the cage, the bamboo strips 5 span across and connect the front and rear frames. The connection is quickly fixed by the wire 7, which can automatically tighten and position the outline of the cage, saving the trouble of repeated binding and misalignment in traditional bamboo weaving.

[0022] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the front frame assembly 3 includes an inner frame 31, a middle frame 32, and an outer frame 33, which are fixedly connected by spokes 6.

[0023] Furthermore, when the user assembles the front frame assembly 3, the inner frame 31, the middle frame 32, and the outer frame 33 will be concentrically positioned in sequence. When the spokes 6 are docked and fixed with each layer of the frame, the multi-layer frame will be connected into one, thereby forming a uniformly stressed ring skeleton in the front frame assembly 3. During the assembly process, the frame shape can be automatically guaranteed to be regular and the stress symmetrical, eliminating the need for manual correction and repeated adjustments.

[0024] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, an installation groove 311 is provided on the inner frame 31, and a bamboo strip 312 is fitted on the installation groove 311. A fixing block 313 is provided on the spoke 6, and the end of the bamboo strip 312 away from the installation groove 311 is fitted on the fixing block 313.

[0025] Furthermore, when the user rotates the fixing block 313 on the spoke 6, the bamboo filament 312 in the mounting groove 311 on the inner frame 31 will be gradually pulled. When the fixing block 313 is rotated into place, the bamboo filament 312 will be automatically tensioned. The toughness of the bamboo filament 312 will be used to maintain continuous tension, thereby solving the problem of the bamboo filament 312 loosening due to frequent disassembly and assembly. During the adjustment process, the inner frame 31 and the spoke 6 can be automatically and securely connected without additional reinforcement.

[0026] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, a hanging groove 314 is provided on the fixing block 313, a cross groove 315 is provided at the bottom of the fixing block 313, and a protective pad 316 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing block 313 away from the cross groove 315.

[0027] Furthermore, when the user assembles the fixing block 313 into place, the hanging groove 314 will lock the bamboo strip 312 to prevent slippage. Once the cross groove 315 at the bottom of the fixing block 313 engages with the installation position, it will restrict the fixing block 313 from rotating and loosening. The protective pad 316 makes it easy for the user to pull out the fixing block 313 and makes the rotation effect better, preventing slippage. During use, it can automatically maintain the stable tension of the bamboo strip 312 and extend the service life of the frame.

[0028] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the cross-section of the hanging groove 314 is trapezoidal, and the short side of the trapezoid is the opening of the hanging groove 314.

[0029] Furthermore, when the user inserts the bamboo strip 312 into the hanging groove 314, the trapezoidal cross-section of the hanging groove 314 will smoothly receive it with its short side open. When the fixing block 313 rotates and tightens, the bamboo strip 312 will be locked tighter and tighter, making it difficult to fall out, thus forming a one-way self-locking limit. During the assembly process, it can automatically improve the connection reliability and prevent loosening during use.

[0030] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, each frame on the rear frame assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the spokes 6.

[0031] Furthermore, when the user assembles the rear frame component 4, each ring of the rear frame and the spokes 6 are fixed according to a uniform structure. The symmetrical molding of the front and rear frames ensures that the cage experiences consistent forces from left to right and maintains a balanced center of gravity, thereby improving stability during movement. After assembly, the overall shape is automatically symmetrical, eliminating the need for manual leveling.

[0032] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the number of frame components in the front frame assembly 3 and the rear frame assembly 4 can be set to 3-5, and the number of spokes 6 can be set to 5-12.

[0033] Furthermore, when the user adjusts the cage specifications, the front frame assembly 3 and the rear frame assembly 4 can be set to 3-5 units, and the spokes 6 can be set to 5-12 units. Once assembled to the required quantity, a small frame with suitable strength and weight will be formed, thus meeting the needs of teaching, performance, decoration, and other scenarios. During the configuration process, both portability and structural strength can be automatically balanced.

[0034] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the base 2 is 20-40 cm long and 6-8 cm wide.

[0035] Furthermore, when the user places the base 2 on a flat surface, the base 2, which is 10-20cm long and 3-6cm wide, will form a stable support, thereby preventing it from tipping over. During use, it can automatically ensure stable placement and is suitable for desktop display.

[0036] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the length of the handle 1 is 20-40 cm, and the overall height of the handle 1, base 2, front frame assembly 3, rear frame assembly 4 and bamboo strip 5 does not exceed 50 cm.

[0037] Furthermore, the 20-40cm length of the handle 1 provides a comfortable grip when used by the user. With the overall height kept below 50cm, the product is compact, lightweight, and easy to store and carry, making it suitable for children and indoor display. During use, ease of operation and safety are automatically balanced.

[0038] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, all components are made without metal or plastic connectors, using only natural bamboo and traditional bamboo craftsmanship.

[0039] Furthermore, when the user completes the overall assembly, the handle 1, base 2, frame, bamboo strips 5, etc., are all made of natural bamboo, without any metal or plastic connectors, thus maintaining the original ecological texture of traditional bamboo craftsmanship. It is environmentally friendly, safe, and biodegradable, which is more conducive to the inheritance of folk culture. During use, it automatically achieves the effects of being environmentally friendly, safe, and preserving the original craftsmanship.

[0040] Working principle: When the user assembles the handle 1 upwards, the base 2 fixed to the upper end of the handle 1 will be positioned and formed accordingly. Once the fixing holes on the base 2 are aligned with the front frame assembly 3 and the rear frame assembly 4, the front and rear frames will be reliably limited, thereby pushing the front frame assembly 3, the rear frame assembly 4 and the base 2 to form a stable support. While assembling the cage, the bamboo strips 5 span across and connect the front and rear frames. The connection is quickly fixed by the wire 7, which can automatically tighten and position the outline of the cage, saving the trouble of repeated binding and misalignment in traditional bamboo weaving. When the user assembles the front frame assembly 3, the inner frame 31, the middle frame 32 and the outer frame 33 will be concentrically positioned in sequence. When the spokes 6 are connected and fixed with each layer of the frame, the multiple layers of frames will be connected into one, so that the front frame assembly 3 forms a ring skeleton with uniform force. During the assembly process, it can automatically ensure that the frame shape is regular and the force is symmetrical, saving the steps of manual correction and repeated adjustment.

[0041] Crucially, when the user rotates the fixing block 313 on the spoke 6, the bamboo filament 312 in the mounting groove 311 on the inner frame 31 will be gradually pulled. When the fixing block 313 is rotated into place, the bamboo filament 312 will be automatically tensioned. The toughness of the bamboo filament 312 will keep it continuously taut, thus solving the problem of the bamboo filament 312 loosening due to frequent disassembly and assembly. During the adjustment process, the inner frame 31 and the spoke 6 can be automatically and securely connected without additional reinforcement.

[0042] Specifically, when the user assembles the fixing block 313 into place, the hanging groove 314 will lock the bamboo strip 312 to prevent slippage. Once the cross groove 315 at the bottom of the fixing block 313 engages with the installation position, it will restrict the fixing block 313 from rotating and loosening. The protective pad 316 makes it easy for the user to pull out the fixing block 313 and makes the rotation effect better, preventing slippage. During use, it can automatically maintain the stable tension of the bamboo strip 312 and extend the service life of the frame.

[0043] In addition, when the user inserts the bamboo strip 312 into the hanging groove 314, the trapezoidal hanging groove 314 will smoothly receive it with its short side open. When the fixing block 313 rotates and tightens, the bamboo strip 312 will be locked tighter and tighter, making it difficult to fall out, thus forming a one-way self-locking limit. During the assembly process, it can automatically improve the connection reliability and prevent loosening during use.

[0044] Finally, when the user assembles the rear frame component 4, each ring of the rear frame and the spokes 6 are fixed in a uniform structure. The symmetrical molding of the front and rear frames ensures consistent force distribution and a balanced center of gravity, thus improving stability during movement. After assembly, the overall shape is automatically symmetrical, eliminating the need for manual leveling. Furthermore, the handle 1, base 2, frame, and bamboo strips 5 are all made of natural bamboo, without any metal or plastic connectors, preserving the original ecological texture of traditional bamboo craftsmanship. It is environmentally friendly, safe, and biodegradable, thus facilitating the inheritance of folk culture. During use, it automatically achieves environmental protection, safety, and authentic craftsmanship.

[0045] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it.
