Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of support structures, and in particular relates to a self-retracting support structure. Background Art

[0002] Support structures are widely used in production and daily life. For example, they can be used on bucket lids to support them and prevent them from falling over. They can also be used on computer stands to support the bottom of the computer and keep it at a predetermined angle.

[0003] The existing support structure usually includes a support column and a limiting hole. The support column is rotatably mounted, and the limiting hole is located below the support column. When support is needed, the support column needs to be manually rotated so that the bottom of the support column is inserted into the limiting hole. When support is no longer needed after use, the support column needs to be manually removed from the limiting hole and then rotated in the opposite direction to the stowed state.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, when the support structure needs to be folded up, the support column needs to be rotated manually, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a self-retractable support structure, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art that the support structure is complicated to retract.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides a self-retracting support structure, comprising

[0007] first component;

[0008] a second component, the second component being rotatably connected to the first component, and the second component being provided with a guide portion;

[0009] The support column includes a mounting end and a limiting end, the mounting end is rotatably connected to the first component, and the limiting end can contact the guide part so that the support column is guided by the guide part to be in a retracted state.

[0010] In this solution, a guide portion is provided on the second component. When the support column needs to be stored, the limiting end of the support column contacts the guide portion, which guides the support column to rotate to the storage position. This solution uses the guide portion to guide the support column to rotate to the storage position. Compared to the existing technology of manually rotating the support column for storage, the resulting structure is more convenient and efficient.

[0011] Preferably, in order to guide the support column to rotate, the guide portion in this solution is a guide surface, and the guide surface is arc-shaped, and the support column can rotate along the guiding direction of the guide surface.

[0012] In this solution, a guide surface is provided on the second component. When the limiting end of the support column contacts the guide surface, the guide surface can guide the support column to rotate, and the guide surface guides the support column to rotate to a retracted state.

[0013] Preferably, in order to construct the guide surface, the guide surface of this solution 1 is constructed on the second component. In this solution 1, the guide surface is constructed on the second component, and the guide surface can contact the limiting end of the support column.

[0014] Alternatively, in order to construct the guide surface, the guide surface of the second solution is constructed on the guide component, and the guide component is installed on the second component. In the second solution, the guide surface is constructed on the guide component, and the guide component then constructs the guide surface.

[0015] Preferably, when a guide component is constructed, in order to solve the problem that the guide component affects the storage of the support column, the support column of this solution is constructed with a receiving groove, and the receiving groove is used to receive the guide component.

[0016] This solution is provided with a receiving groove for receiving the guide component. When the support column is stored, the guide component is stored in the receiving groove, thereby solving the problem that the guide component affects the storage of the support column.

[0017] Preferably, in order to solve the problem that the support column affects the folding of the first component and the second component, in this solution, a receiving cavity is constructed at the bottom of the first component.

[0018] In this solution, a receiving cavity is provided at the bottom of the first component. When the support column is received between the first component and the second component, the upper end of the support column can be received inside the receiving cavity.

[0019] Preferably, in order to achieve the supporting effect, the supporting structure of this solution further includes a limiting portion, which is installed on the second component; the limiting end can contact the limiting portion, so that the first component and the second component stop rotating.

[0020] When the supporting structure needs to be kept in a supporting state, the limiting end can be brought into contact with the limiting portion, and the limiting portion limits the rotation of the limiting end. The supporting column can then support the first component, and the first component and the second component are in a fixed state, and the first component and the second component cannot rotate.

[0021] Preferably, in order to limit the limiting end, the limiting portion described in this solution can be a limiting groove.

[0022] Alternatively, in order to limit the limiting end, the limiting portion in this solution may be a limiting protrusion.

[0023] Alternatively, in order to limit the limiting end, the limiting portion in this solution may be a limiting tooth.

[0024] The beneficial effect of this utility model lies in that a guide portion is provided on the second component. When the support column needs to be stored, the limiting end of the support column contacts the guide portion, which guides the support column to rotate to the storage position. Compared with the existing technology of manually rotating the support column for storage, this solution uses the guide portion to guide the support column to rotate to the storage position, making the structure more convenient and efficient.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, identical numbers in different drawings represent identical or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0032] In this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" are defined based on the contours of the corresponding components. Terms such as "first" and "second" are used in this disclosure to distinguish one element from another and do not convey order or importance.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Basically as attached Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a self-retractable support structure includes a first component 1, a second component 2 and a support column 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are rotatably connected via a connecting component, and the first component 1 and the second component 2 can rotate around the connecting component. The first component 1 is used as the installation base of the support column 3, and the second component 2 is used to adapt to the support column 3. The shapes and structures of the first component 1 and the second component 2 are different in different application scenarios. For example: when the support mechanism is applied to the barrel cover, the first component 1 is the barrel cover, the second component 2 is the barrel body, and the connecting component can be a hinge, and the barrel cover and the barrel body are rotatably connected by the hinge. When the support mechanism is applied to a computer stand, the first component 1 is a support rod, the second component 2 is also a support rod, and the connecting component can be a rotating shaft, and the support rods are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support column 3 can be a cylindrical or rectangular column. One end of the support column 3 is a limiting end 32, and the other end of the support column 3 is a mounting end 31. The mounting end 31 of the support column 3 can be mounted to the first component 1 via a rotating shaft, and the support column 3 can rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0037] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the second component 2 is provided with a limiting portion 21 and a guide portion. The limiting portion 21 can specifically be a limiting groove, a limiting protrusion, or a limiting tooth. When the support column 3 rotates forward, the limiting end 32 of the support column 3 can adapt to the limiting portion 21, so that the support column 3 is in a locked state, and the support column 3 restricts the rotation of the first component 1 and the second component 2, and the first component 1 and the second component 2 are in a supporting state; when the support column 3 rotates reversely, the limiting end 32 of the support column 3 separates from the limiting portion 21, the support column 3 is in an unlocked state, and the first component 1 and the second component 2 can move closer to each other. Finally, the support column 3 is placed between the first component 1 and the second component 2, and the support column 3 is in a retracted state.

[0038] To enable automatic retraction of support column 3, this embodiment provides a guide groove 22 on the upper surface of second component 2. The inner bottom of guide groove 22 serves as a guide surface, which is curved and faces in a direction opposite to the stopper 21. This guide surface is located below support column 3. When support column 3 is to be retracted, the bottom of support column 3 contacts the guide surface, guiding it in the reverse direction. Ultimately, support column 3 is positioned between first component 1 and second component 2, and is retracted.

[0039] It should be noted that: since the support column 3 is guided to rotate in the reverse direction by the guide surface, there is no need for manual labor to push the support column 3 to rotate in the reverse direction during the storage process of the support column 3, which is more convenient to use and more efficient.

[0040] This embodiment also includes a receiving cavity 11 at the bottom of the first component 1. When the support column 3 is placed between the first component 1 and the second component 2, the upper end of the support column 3 is accommodated in the receiving cavity 11. By accommodating the upper end of the support column 3 in the receiving cavity 11, the support column 3 is prevented from interfering with the closing of the first component 1 and the second component 2.

[0041] The following is a further detailed description through a specific embodiment: When it is necessary to prop up the first component 1 and the second component 2, first rotate the first component 1 or the second component 2 around the connecting component, then manually rotate the support column 3 in the forward direction, and finally make the limit end 32 of the support column 3 contact the limit portion 21 provided on the upper surface of the second component 2, the support column 3 is in a supporting state, and the first component 1 and the second component 2 are propped up. When it is necessary to retract the first component 1 and the second component 2, first rotate the first component 1 or the second component 2 around the connecting component, then the support column 3 automatically rotates to a vertical state under the action of gravity, and then rotate the first component 1 or the second component 2 so that the limit end 32 of the support column 3 contacts and cooperates with the guide surface, which guides the rotation of the support column 3, and finally the support column 3 is placed between the first component 1 and the second component 2, and the support column 3 is in a retracted state.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide surface is constructed differently. In this embodiment, the guide surface is provided on the guide member 23, and the guide surface is an arc-shaped surface. The guide member 23 is then mounted on the upper surface of the second member 2 by welding or configuring fasteners.

[0044] In order to facilitate the accommodation of the guide member 23 , the present embodiment configures an accommodation groove 24 on the support column 3 . When the support column 3 is retracted between the first component 1 and the second component 2 , the guide member 23 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 24 .

[0045] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the commonly known specific structures and characteristics of the scheme are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention. These will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
