[0025] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0026] The following is a further description with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a lantern structure that is easy to fold and store includes a shaft 1 and a plurality of grid sheet assemblies 2 that rotate along the circumferential direction of the shaft 1. The plurality of grid sheet assemblies 2 include a plurality of grid sheets 21 arranged in parallel along the length direction of the shaft 1 and a connecting sheet 22 fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of each two adjacent grid sheets 21. The grid sheets 21 include at least one fixed grid sheet 201, and the rest are movable grid sheets. The movable grid sheets include grid sheet A20 and grid sheet B30. The grid sheet A20 and the connecting sheet 22 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of each two adjacent grid sheets 21. Magnetic body 1 40 and magnetic body 2 50 are embedded in opposite sides of the grille piece B30. Magnetic body 1 40 is configured as a magnet or an iron sheet, and magnetic body 2 50 is configured as an iron sheet or a magnet. Magnetic body 1 40 and magnetic body 2 50 are each configured as one or more, and are configured one-to-one. When the magnetic body 1 40 and magnetic body 2 50 are mutually attracted and fixed, each movable grille piece and each connecting piece are fully unfolded to form a lantern state. When each movable grille piece is rotated until the connecting pieces overlap each other, the lantern is folded and stored.

[0028] In this way, the utility model is provided with several grid sheet assemblies 2 rotatably connected to the shaft 1. By rotating the movable grid sheets in the several grid sheet assemblies 2 along the circumferential direction of the shaft 1, the lantern state unfolding effect or the folded storage state can be achieved. The folded lantern is also convenient for users to store and store, and is also convenient for packaging and transportation.

[0029] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, a shaft sleeve 11 is provided on the shaft rod 1. When the movable grille is fully unfolded to form a lantern state, multiple grille sheets 21 on several grid sheet assemblies 2 are arranged equidistantly along the circumferential direction of the shaft sleeve 11. By providing the shaft sleeve 11, the stability of the movable grille during rotation can be improved to prevent the movable grille from shaking.

[0030] like Figure 7As shown, the connecting piece 22 is any one of a paper material, a plastic material or a cloth that can be folded repeatedly. One or more folding lines 221 are provided on the connecting piece 22. When there is only one folding line 221, the folding line 221 is the central axis of the connecting piece 22.

[0031] In this way, when each movable grille piece is fully unfolded to form a lantern state or rotated to overlap each other, the connecting piece 22 is stretched and unfolded or folded along the movement trajectory of the movable grille piece, and the connecting piece 22 is folded or stretched along the folding line 221.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 5-6 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the shaft rod 1 are fixedly connected with a decorative cover plate 3 and a fixing seat 4 installed inside the decorative cover plate 3, and the upper and lower ends of the fixed grille piece 201 are fixedly connected to the fixing seat 4. In this embodiment, the fixing seat 4 and the upper and lower ends of the fixed grille piece 201 are provided with a raised structure, which passes through the fixing seat 4 inside the upper and lower decorative cover plates 3 to form a fixed connection state. Therefore, when the movable grille piece rotates, the fixed grille piece 201 is always in a fixed state. A hanging ear piece 5 is fixedly connected or rotatably connected to the decorative cover plate 3 located at the top of the shaft rod 1, and a hand-held rod 6 is provided on the hanging ear piece 5. The hand-held rod 6 is used to lift the lantern, and the hand-held rod 6 can be detached or fixedly connected to the hanging ear piece 5.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 5-6 As shown, the grille sheet 21 is made of a material with toughness and hardness. Each of the grille sheets 21 is a planar structure or a planar structure with a hollow pattern to add more different decorative effects to the lantern. The fixed grille sheet 201 separates the several grid sheet assemblies 2 into two groups of independent movable grille sheet groups. The grille sheet A20 and the grille sheet B30 are both arranged at the front end of the two groups of independent movable grille sheet groups. The upper and lower ends of the grille sheet A20 and the grille sheet B30 are connected by a flexible belt 7, wherein the flexible belt 7 is sleeved on the shaft 1, and the grille sheet A20 and the grille sheet B30 are arranged relative to each other.

[0034] To sum up, the utility model is provided with a plurality of grid sheet assemblies 2 rotatably connected to the shaft 1. By rotating the movable grid sheets in the plurality of grid sheet assemblies 2 along the circumferential direction of the shaft 1, the lantern state unfolding effect or the folded storage state can be achieved. The folded lantern is also convenient for users to store, and is also convenient for packaging and transportation; and by arranging magnetic body 1 40 and magnetic body 2 50 on the grid sheet A20 and the grid sheet B30, the lantern can be quickly fixed in the unfolded state.

[0035] Working principle: When the user needs to use the lantern, he only needs to pull the grille piece A20 and the grille piece B30 in opposite directions along the direction of the shaft 1. When the grille piece A20 and the grille piece B30 rotate, the linkage connecting piece 22 unfolds and the each movable grille piece in the adjacent grille piece 21 rotates synchronously. When the grille piece A20 and the grille piece B30 are in contact with each other, the magnetic body 1 40 and the magnetic body 2 50 on the grille piece A20 and the grille piece B30 are attracted to each other and fixed, completing the unfolding of the lantern; when it needs to be folded for storage, packaging, or transportation, it is necessary to pull the grille piece A20 and the grille piece B30 in opposite directions, or pull the grille piece A20 and the grille piece B30 in opposite directions at the same time, and the magnetic body 1 40 and the magnetic body 2 50 on the grille piece A20 and the grille piece B30 will be disengaged. Then rotate the grille piece A20 and the grille piece B30 until the each movable grille piece overlaps with each other. The operation is very simple and convenient.

[0036] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
