[0033] Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively show schematic diagrams of a desk calendar 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. The following will be described in detail in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 2 for a detailed description.

[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the desk calendar 100 includes a calendar book 110, a back plate 120 and a deformation plate 130. Among them, the back plate 120 is connected to the back of the calendar book 110, and the deformation plate 130 is connected to the back of the back plate 120. Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the deformation plate 130 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the deformable plate 130 can be made of cardboard, which includes a connecting portion 131, a first supporting portion 132, a second supporting portion 133, and a third supporting portion 134. Among them, the first supporting portion 132 is connected between the connecting portion 131 and the third supporting portion 134, and the second supporting portion 133 is also connected between the connecting portion 131 and the third supporting portion 134. Half-cut lines 135 (Half-Cutting) are respectively provided between the connecting portion 131 and the first supporting portion 132, between the connecting portion 131 and the second supporting portion 133, between the third supporting portion 134 and the first supporting portion 132, and between the third supporting portion 134 and the second supporting portion 133. The half-cut lines 135 are formed by partially cutting the surface of the cardboard (for example: the deformable plate 130). It does not disconnect the cardboard but maintains a certain connection, making the cardboard easier to fold. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the connecting portion 131 of the deformable plate 130 is fixedly connected (for example, adhesively) to the back surface of the back plate 120. The deformable plate 130 can be flipped along the half-cut line 135 to switch between a first posture (as Figure 1 shown) and a second posture (as Figure 2 shown). When the deformable plate 130 is in the first posture, the deformable plate 130 is in a flat shape and fits flatly on the back surface of the back plate 120, which makes the desk calendar 100 more convenient to carry and store. When the deformable plate 130 is in the second posture, the deformable plate 130 and the back plate 120 form a bracket structure, and the bracket structure can support the calendar book 110 to be placed in an inclined posture. Optionally, the outer contour shapes of the back plate 120 and the deformable plate 130 are basically the same. When the deformable plate 130 is in the first posture, the deformable plate 130 overlaps with the back plate 120, which not only optimizes the space occupied by the desk calendar 100 during storage and transportation but also enhances the neatness and beauty of the desk calendar 100.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, there are two second supporting portions 133, and the first supporting portion 132 is located between the two second supporting portions 133. Through the above setting, not only does it present a symmetrical aesthetic sense visually, but also it realizes a balanced distribution in mechanics functionally, significantly improving the stability of the bracket structure and providing a more reliable user experience for users.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2As shown, when the deformable plate 130 is in the second posture, the angle between the first support portion 132 and the third support portion 134 is an obtuse angle, and the angle between the second support portion 133 and the third support portion 134 is an acute angle or a right angle. Through the above arrangement, the first support portion 132 and the second support portion 133 can provide support forces for the calendar book 110 (back plate 120) from different directions. At the same time, the first support portion 132 and the second support portion 133 will not rotate under the restraint of the connecting portion 131 and the third support portion 134, enabling the desk calendar 100 to be stably placed on the tabletop. Optionally, when the deformable plate 130 is in the second posture, the first support portion 132 and the second support portion 133 are in a crossed posture.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a full-cutting line 136 is provided between the first support portion 132 and the second support portion 133. The full-cutting line 136 is formed by penetrating cutting on the surface of the cardboard (for example: the deformable plate 130). It can disconnect the first support portion 132 and the second support portion 133, ensure relative movement between the first support portion 132 and the second support portion 133, and at the same time ensure that there is no large gap between the first support portion 132 and the second support portion 133, guaranteeing the flatness of the deformable plate 130 in the first posture.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the deformable plate 130 may further include a pen holder portion 137, and a through hole 1371 for inserting a pen is provided on the pen holder portion 137. Optionally, the pen holder portion 137 is formed by cutting one or two full-cutting lines on the upper edge of the deformable plate 130. The pen holder portion 137 is connected to the connecting portion 131, and a half-cutting line 135 is provided between the pen holder portion 137 and the connecting portion 131. The user can flip the pen holder portion 137 along the half-cutting line 135 to open or close the pen holder portion 137, and the operation is simple and intuitive.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the calendar book 110 includes multiple calendar pages 111, and the lower edges of the multiple calendar pages 111 are fixedly glued. This design provides flexible usage options for users: after the calendar pages 111 are used up, the user can choose to tear them off from the calendar book 110, or keep them on the calendar book 110 by turning the pages downwards, which will not interfere with the normal use of the subsequent calendar pages 111.

[0040] Figure 4 Shows a schematic diagram of a desk calendar 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 4As shown, calendar information is printed on the front of the calendar page 111. The calendar information may include, for example, date, day of the week, holidays, solar terms, etc. The back of the calendar page 111 is printed with ruled lines so that the back of the calendar page 111 can be used as a sticky note, facilitating the user to casually record schedule arrangements, to-do items, personal thoughts, etc. when needed. Optionally, the back of the calendar page 111 is a blank page.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the desk calendar 100 may further include a panel 140. The panel 140 is connected to the front of the calendar book 110 to provide protection for the calendar book 110, enhance the durability of the calendar book 110, and reduce the possibility of the calendar page 111 being worn or damaged during frequent use or transportation. Optionally, the panel 140 is adhered to the first page of the calendar book 110.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a desk calendar 100, which has multiple functions such as a calendar, a sticky note, a pen holder, etc., and also has the advantages of simple structure, less overall material consumption, strong visual field competitiveness, easy transportation and storage, etc. The deformable plate 130 of the desk calendar 100 can flexibly switch between the first posture and the second posture. When the deformable plate 130 is in the first posture, the deformable plate 130 lies flat against the back of the back plate 120, making the desk calendar 100 more convenient to carry (transport) and store. When the deformable plate 130 is in the second posture, the deformable plate 130 and the back plate 120 form a support structure, which can support the calendar book 110 to be placed in an inclined posture, having good stability.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
