TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photo frames, in particular to a photo frame facilitating switching of display theme. BACKGROUND
[0002] Photo frames are common decorations in homes, used to store and display photos of life, commemorative photos, etc. Existing photo frames are usually rectangular frames with hollow interiors, with photos placed in the blank space. Such conventional photo frames are mainly used to position the four edges of a photo and enhance its aesthetic appearance. They are usually manifested through the frame. The main purpose is to protect the quality of the photo. The photo frame usually also has a glass to prevent the photo from yellowing and discoloring.
[0003] However, when the items to be stored and displayed are three-dimensional works or physical products, the photo frames in the prior art cannot meet the needs of users. In addition, some photo frames have increased internal space to accommodate the display of three-dimensional works. However, such photo frames can only display a single theme. When users need to switch between displaying three-dimensional works and photos, such photo frames are inconvenient to switch and cannot meet the needs of the general public. SUMMARY
[0004] A photo frame facilitating switching of display theme includes an outer frame, a transparent layer, and an inner frame set embedded in the inner opening of the outer frame. The inner frame set includes a bottom plate and a U-shaped frame strip, which are connected to form a first spade-shaped structure. The first spade-shaped structure has a storage space inside for displaying photos or three-dimensional works.
[0005] Further, a blocking strip is movably arranged at the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped frame strip. The transparent layer is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame strip. The transparent layer and the first spade-shaped structure form the storage space. By rotating the blocking strip, the physical object can be placed in the storage space for display.
[0006] Further, the inner frame set also includes an insertion plate. The inner side of the U-shaped frame strip is provided with a slot that cooperates with the insertion plate. The slot includes a first slot near the transparent layer and a second slot near the bottom plate. When the insertion plate is inserted into the first slot, a photo is placed on the front of the insertion plate for display. The insertion plate and the bottom plate form a storage space for storing the photo. Alternatively, a three-dimensional work is placed on the back of the insertion plate. When the insertion plate is flipped and inserted into the second slot, the display theme can be easily switched to the three-dimensional work for display.
[0007] Further, a blocking strip is rotatably arranged on the insertion plate. When the insertion plate is inserted into the first slot, the blocking strip is located between the insertion plate and the bottom plate. When the insertion plate is pulled out, the stored photo is pulled out by the blocking strip. When the insertion plate is inserted into the second slot, the blocking strip and the U-shaped frame strip form a closed square frame.
[0008] Further, the transparent layer is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame strip, the transparent layer and the first spade-shaped structure body form a containing space, the blocking strip and the insertion plate are in rotating fit, when the insertion plate is inserted into the second slot, the blocking strip is rotated, and the object is placed into the containing space for display.
[0009] Further, the inner frame group further comprises a second spade-shaped structure body, and the second spade-shaped structure body is arranged in the first spade-shaped structure body in a matched mode.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0011] The utility model discloses a kind of inner frame groups, and the upper portion of inner frame group is provided with transparent layer, and inner frame group is designed into spade type structure body, and insertion plate is arranged in spade type structure body in a matched mode, and through the cooperation of insertion plate and spade type structure body, photo display and photo storage function can be realized, and the function of switching display between photo and stereoscopic piece can also be realized.

[0020] Embodiment One
[0021] As shown in Figure 1 A photo frame with a convenient switching display theme, comprising an outer frame 1, a transparent layer 2, and an inner frame set capable of being embedded in the outer frame 1. Among them, the transparent layer 2 is fixed in the inner cavity of the outer frame 1. The inner frame set comprises a bottom plate 4 and a U-shaped frame strip 3. The bottom plate 4 is fixed on the U-shaped frame strip 3. The bottom plate 4 and the inner side frame of the U-shaped frame strip 3 form a first spade-shaped structure with an open top structure. The first spade-shaped structure has a storage space for displaying photos 5 and three-dimensional works 11.
[0022] Further, the bottom of the two side edges of the bottom plate 4 is provided with a shaft rod 6. When assembled, the bottom of the bottom plate 4 extends into the inner cavity of the outer frame 1, and the rotation fit between the bottom plate 4 and the outer frame 1 is achieved through the shaft rod. When the first spade-shaped structure composed of the bottom plate 4 and the U-shaped frame strip 3 is in an open state, the open end of the first spade-shaped structure faces outward, which is convenient for subsequent users to replace the objects stored in the first spade-shaped structure.
[0023] In some embodiments, the bottom plate and the inner side of the outer frame are connected by a hinge to realize the openable fixation of the outer frame.
[0024] Embodiment Two
[0025] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the transparent layer 2 and the bottom plate 4 are respectively fixed on both sides of the U-shaped frame strip 3, and form a storage space with an open top structure between the transparent layer 2 and the bottom plate 4 and the U-shaped frame strip 3. Users can place real objects in the storage space for display. Further, a blocking strip 7 is movably arranged at the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped frame strip 3, which is used to open or close the port of the storage space. Users can turn the blocking strip 7 outward when placing real objects, and place the real objects through the open port of the storage space. After completing the placement of the real objects, turn the blocking strip 7 inward to close the port of the storage space, so as to avoid the real objects placed in the storage space from escaping from the port of the storage space. As shown in Figure 2 The tail end of the blocking strip 7 is rotationally fitted with one side end of the U-shaped frame strip 3, so as to realize the turning of the blocking strip 7.
[0026] Further, a plurality of ball head spring beads 8 are embedded on the two side walls of the U-shaped frame strip 3. The inner cavity of the outer frame 1 is provided with a clamping groove 101 matched with the ball head spring beads 8. When in use, the beads on the ball head spring beads 8 abut against the inner wall of the outer frame 1 during the process of pushing the U-shaped frame strip 3 into the inner cavity of the outer frame 1, and are inwardly retracted under the action of external force, so that the U-shaped frame strip 3 can smoothly enter the inner cavity of the outer frame 1. When the ball head spring beads 8 move to the position where the clamping groove 101 is located, the spring in the ball head spring beads 8 pushes the beads to reset, and the beads enter the clamping groove 101, so as to realize the locking of the relative position between the U-shaped frame strip 3 and the outer frame 1.
[0027] In addition, in this embodiment, when displaying a physical object, a background image related to the physical object can be set on the base plate 4.
[0028] Example 3
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the inner frame assembly also includes an insert plate 10. Multiple slots that mate with the insert plate 10 are provided on the inner side of the U-shaped frame strip 3. Two slots are divided into a first slot 301 near the transparent layer 2 and a second slot 302 near the bottom plate 4.
[0030] In use, when the insert plate 10 is inserted into the first slot 301, a space is formed between the back of the insert plate 10 and the base plate 4 for storing photos or displaying three-dimensional artworks 11 on the back of the insert plate 10. The front of the insert plate 10 displays photos 5. When the insert plate 10 is flipped over and inserted into the second slot 302, the display theme changes to the three-dimensional artwork 11.
[0031] Example 4
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 3 is that a stop bar 7 is installed on the insert plate 10. The length of the stop bar 7 is smaller than the width of the insert plate 10. In this embodiment, the distance from the end of the stop bar 7 to the edge of the insert plate 10 is slightly greater than the groove depth of the first slot 301.
[0033] When the insert plate 10 is inserted into the first slot 301, the stop bar 7 is located between the insert plate 10 and the base plate 4, and is located at the inner end of the insert plate 10. When the insert plate 10 is pulled outward, the stop bar 7 located on the inner side of the insert plate 10 will pull out the stored photos synchronously, making it convenient to replace the photos.
[0034] In this embodiment, the stop bar 7 and the insert plate 10 are connected by rivets. Specifically, the inner end of the rivet passes through the stop bar 7 and inserts into the insert plate 10, allowing the stop bar 7 to rotate around the rivet, thus achieving a rotational engagement between the stop bar 7 and the insert plate 10.
[0035] When the insert plate 10 is flipped and inserted into the second slot 302, the stop bar 7 is located at the outer end of the insert plate 10, forming a closed square frame bar with the U-shaped frame bar 3. This effectively compensates for the lack of a gap on the port side of the U-shaped frame bar when displaying the three-dimensional artwork 11, while allowing the user to quickly open or close the port as needed.
[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple ball-head spring abutments 8 are embedded in both side walls of the U-shaped frame strip 3. The inner cavity of the outer frame 1 has a slot 101 that mates with the ball-head spring abutments 8. During use, as the user pushes the U-shaped frame strip 3 into the inner cavity of the outer frame 1, the abutments on the ball-head spring abutments 8 abut against the inner wall of the outer frame 1 and retract inward under external force, allowing the U-shaped frame strip 3 to smoothly enter the inner cavity of the outer frame 1. When the ball-head spring abutments 8 move to the position of the slot 101, the spring in the ball-head spring abutments 8 pushes the abutments to reset and enter the slot 101, thus locking the relative position of the U-shaped frame strip 3 and the outer frame 1.
[0037] Example 5
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment four is that the transparent layer 2 and the base plate 4 are respectively fixed on both sides of the U-shaped frame 3. The transparent layer 2, the U-shaped frame 3, and the base plate 4 together form an accommodating space with an open end. The insert plate 10 is inserted into the first slot 301 or the second set of slots 302 on the U-shaped frame 3, and the stop strip 7 on the insert plate 10 achieves closure of the accommodating space port.
[0039] In use, when the insert plate 10 is in the second set of slots, rotating the stop bar 7 allows the accommodating space to hold a physical object 9 for display, and a background image corresponding to the physical object 9 can be set on the inner side of the insert plate 10. When the insert plate 10 is flipped over and inserted into the first set of slots, a photo 5 is displayed on the outer side of the insert plate 10, and the accommodating space between the insert plate 10 and the base plate 4 can store multiple photos. By flipping the insert plate 10 and switching between the first slot 301 and the second set of slots 302, the switching between photo display and physical object display can be achieved.
[0040] Example 6
[0041] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the inner frame assembly consists of two groups. These two groups are divided into a first inner frame group and a second inner frame group. In the first inner frame group, the base plate 4 and the inner side frame of the U-shaped frame strip 3 together form a first shovel-shaped structure with an open top. In the second inner frame group, the base plate 4 and the inner side frame of the U-shaped frame strip 3 together form a second shovel-shaped structure 13 with an open top. The outer dimension of the second shovel-shaped structure 13 is equal to the inner dimension of the first shovel-shaped structure, allowing the second shovel-shaped structure 13 to be inserted into the inner cavity of the first shovel-shaped structure. In this embodiment, a photograph is provided on the back of the second shovel-shaped structure 13.
[0042] In the present embodiment, the second spade-shaped structure 13 has two states during the process of being inserted into the first spade-shaped structure, namely, a three-dimensional work display state and a photo display state. When the second spade-shaped structure 13 is in the three-dimensional work display state, the port of the second spade-shaped structure 13 faces the inner end of the first spade-shaped structure, and the inner side faces the transparent layer 2. A first accommodating space is formed between the second spade-shaped structure 13 and the transparent layer 2. The user can place the three-dimensional work 11 in the first accommodating space for display.
[0043] When the second spade-shaped structure 13 is in the photo display state, the port of the second spade-shaped structure 13 faces the outer side, and the back face faces the transparent layer 2. The photo disposed on the back face of the second spade-shaped structure 13 is displayed through the transparent layer 2. At the same time, a second accommodating space is formed between the second spade-shaped structure 13 and the bottom plate in the first spade-shaped structure. The user can place the photo in the second accommodating space for storage.
