Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ballot box technology, and in particular to a folding ballot box. Background Technology

[0002] A ballot box can hold a large number of ballots, so that when voters put their ballots in, the ballots are mixed with other ballots and cannot be easily identified as to who cast the ballot, thus ensuring the anonymity of voters.

[0003] Therefore, a multifunctional folding ballot box with the prior art, publication number CN220232500U, includes a ballot box body, which includes a ballot box shell. The top of the ballot box shell is fixedly connected to a cover plate, and a zipper is provided in the middle of the cover plate. The ballot box shell includes a fabric outer shell, and a support rod is provided inside the fabric outer shell. By cooperating with the fabric outer shell, support rod one, a rotating device, and support rod two, the compression rod is squeezed and moved by vertically pressing support rod one, causing the moving column to slide downward inside the rotating shell. This causes one end of the moving column to disengage from the fixing groove of the fixing ring. The compression rod and support rod one are rotated to a horizontal position with the bottom of the fabric outer shell for folding. The elastic force of spring one is used to squeeze the moving column to move, which facilitates the lifting and fixing of support rod one. The support rod one supports the inside of the fabric outer shell. By folding support rod one, the entire ballot box is folded, improving the stability and portability of the device.

[0004] However, the ballot box shells are fixed structures and are large in size, making them inconvenient to transport and store. When the election ends, they take up a lot of space when stacked. In some cases where temporary polling places need to be set up or where the space is limited, the handling and placement are also quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

The two vertical sides of the front plate 1, back plate 5, left plate 4, and right plate 6 overlap with the sides of the uprights 2. The hinge points of the front plate 1 and back plate 5 are staggered vertically. The hinge points of the left plate 4 and right plate 6 are set at the same height. The hinge points of the left plate 4, front plate 1, and back plate 5 are distributed from near to far according to their distance from the base plate 16. A top cover 3 is hinged to the top edge of the back plate 5. The two sides of the bottom surface of the top cover 3 are respectively inserted into the top edges of the left plate 4 and right plate 6, and a pin 7 is provided between the front edge of the top cover 3 and the top edge of the front plate 1. In use, the top cover 3 is... Four uprights 2 provide support at the corners of the base plate 16. The top cover 3 is connected to the top edges of the left and right plates 4 and 6 to fix their relative positions. The pins 7 connect the front side of the top cover 3 to the front plate 1, and the hinges between the top cover 3 and the back plate 5 also help to fix their relative positions. This ensures the stability of the ballot box in use. When folding and storing, rotate the top cover 3 upwards to open it to the back of the back plate 5. Then, the front plate 1, back plate 5, left plate 4, and right plate 6 are folded simultaneously. The left and right plates 4 and 6 are folded in half to the bottom layer, the front plate 1 is folded to the middle layer, and the back plate 5 is folded to the top layer. Then, the four uprights 2 are folded simultaneously, with each upright 2 folded in pairs to the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the base plate 16.

[0026] Secondly: A support frame 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 16. A lifting plate 9 is inserted into the support frame 14. A connecting rod 10 is hinged to the upper surface of the lifting plate 9 near any of the columns 2. A connecting handle 17 is fixedly installed through the hinge point between the column 2 and the base plate 16 and extends outward from the base plate 16. The top of any connecting rod 10 is hinged to the end of the connecting handle 17 on the adjacent column 2. A bolt 15, which is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 9, is rotatably connected to the surface of the support frame 14. (Reference) Figure 4 By rotating the bolt 15 in this scheme, the lifting plate 9 can be lowered under the auxiliary guidance of the support frame 14. During the descent of the lifting plate 9, the connecting rod 10 on its surface drives the connecting handle 17 to rotate downward by ninety degrees, which can realize the rotation and folding of the column 2 towards the surface of the base plate 16.

[0027] Finally: An anti-slip base 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the support frame 14. A lifting frame 8 is fitted onto the anti-slip base 12.
