[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7This utility model provides a modular photo frame, comprising a frame body 1, a transparent plate 2, a middle frame 3, and a rear frame 4 connected in sequence; the front end of the frame body 1 is provided with a limiting retaining ring 11, which abuts against the transparent plate 2; the top and bottom of the frame body 1 are respectively provided with a through hole 12; the through hole 12 is provided with a rotatable knob 5, which is connected to the through hole 12 by a retaining spring 6; the top and bottom of the rear frame 4 are respectively provided with locking holes 41 that cooperate with the knob 5, the knob 5 includes a locking block 51, and the locking hole 41 is provided with an opening 41a for the locking block 51 to enter; when the knob 5 is rotated, the locking block 51 and the locking hole 41 are locked or unlocked.

[0027] In this embodiment, a frame 1, a transparent panel 2, a middle frame 3, and a rear frame 4 are sequentially connected and quickly secured using a knob 5. The locking block 51 at the bottom of the knob 5 engages with the locking hole 41 of the rear frame 4 to achieve a tight lock. The limiting retaining ring 11 at the front end of the frame 1 abuts tightly against the transparent panel 2, ensuring that the transparent panel 2 will not wobble or shift after installation, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior of the frame and protecting the photos or paintings to remain clear and intact for a long time. The knob 5 is connected to the through hole 12 of the frame 1 via a retaining spring 6. The elastic tension of the retaining spring 6 can fix the position of the knob 5, preventing the knob 5 from accidentally falling off or loosening during daily use, thus improving structural reliability.

[0028] The assembly process of this modular photo frame is as follows: First, the transparent plate 2 is embedded into the frame body 1 and fixed against the front limiting ring 11. The middle frame 3 and the back frame 4 are stacked sequentially, so that the opening 41a of the locking hole 41 of the back frame 4 is aligned with the locking block 51 at the bottom of the knob 5. Next, the knob 5 is rotated, and the bottom locking block 51 engages with the locking hole 41 of the back frame 4, securing all components. When it is necessary to disassemble and change the photo, the knob 5 is rotated in the opposite direction to unlock, and the back frame 4 and the middle frame 3 are removed sequentially. After changing the content, the above steps are repeated.

[0029] The locking block 51 and the lock hole 41 are engaged / disengaged by rotating the knob 5, enabling quick assembly and disassembly. The photo frame can be assembled quickly without the aid of tools, greatly improving assembly efficiency. It also avoids the tedious operation of tightening screws, making it especially suitable for non-professional users to install themselves, saving time and effort.

[0030] In this embodiment, the middle frame 3 is a detachable structure, allowing for replacement with different sizes, shapes, and configurations to suit various display needs, while also reserving space for future functional expansion. Furthermore, by concealing wiring through the cable channels in the middle frame 3, LED lights can be installed inside the frame to create a illuminated frame effect, enhancing the nighttime display. In addition, the middle frame 3 has built-in magnets that can attract small items such as notes and postcards, increasing its practicality.

[0031] Preferably, the knob 5 further includes an operating part 52 and a cylinder 53. The operating part 52 is located at the top of the cylinder 53, and the locking block 51 is located at the bottom of the cylinder 53. The through hole 12 is a countersunk hole, through which the cylinder 53 and the locking block 51 can pass. The retaining spring 6 engages with the cylinder 53 and limits the knob 5 in the through hole 12. The operating part 52 is provided with a slot 53a.

[0032] In this embodiment, the through hole 12 adopts a countersunk hole design, so that the knob 5 is basically flush with the surface of the frame 1 after installation, avoiding protrusions that affect the appearance and placement of the picture frame and improving aesthetics. At the same time, the through hole 12 allows the cylinder 53 and the locking block 51 to pass through smoothly. With the spring clip 6 engaging with the cylinder 53, the knob 5 is firmly fixed in the through hole 12, ensuring that the knob 5 can rotate freely while preventing it from falling off. This ensures the stability of the fit between the knob 5 and the lock hole 41 and improves the overall structural strength of the picture frame. The operating part 52 of the knob 5 is provided with a slot 53a, which can be used to rotate the knob 5 with a fingernail, or with the help of readily available objects such as keys, cards, and coins, to achieve quick locking or unlocking.

[0033] Preferably, the locking block 51 has a flat surface 51a on both sides and an arc-shaped surface 51b at both ends. The distance between the two flat surfaces 51a is less than the distance between the arc apexes of the two arc-shaped surfaces 51b. The lock hole 41 is a circular hole, and the width of the opening 41a is greater than the distance between the two flat surfaces 51a but less than the distance between the arc apexes of the two arc-shaped surfaces 51b. With this structural design, the width of the opening 41a only allows the locking block 51 to be inserted when the flat surfaces 51a are aligned, preventing misinstallation of the arc-shaped surfaces 51b. The arc-shaped surfaces 51b guide the locking block 51 to slide smoothly within the circular hole during rotation, reducing operating effort. After rotating 90°, the arc-shaped surfaces 51b fit against the inner wall of the lock hole 41. Because the distance between the arc apexes of the two arc-shaped surfaces 51b is greater than the width of the opening 41a, the locking block 51 cannot disengage from the opening 41a, thus securing it firmly.

[0034] Furthermore, the opening 41a adopts a figure-eight structure at its outer opening to facilitate the entry of the lock block 51 into the lock hole 41.

[0035] Preferably, the inner wall of the frame 1 is provided with an inner groove 13 that mates with the through hole 12. The width of the inner groove 13 is greater than the width of the retaining spring 6, and the depth of the inner groove 13 is greater than the thickness of the retaining spring 6. With the above structural arrangement, the retaining spring 6 is hidden in the inner groove 13, which does not affect the entry and exit of the middle frame 3 and the rear frame 4, making the assembly smoother.

[0036] Preferably, the middle frame 3 is made of EVA foam, and the middle frame 3 has a hollow groove inside.

[0037] Preferably, the rear frame 4 includes a back panel, and the back panel has a top plate, a bottom plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate on its four sides. The top plate and the bottom plate are each provided with a locking hole 41. During installation, the top plate, the bottom plate, the left side plate, and the right side plate are respectively inserted into the gap between the frame 1 and the middle frame 3. With the above structural design, the four side plates are inserted into the gap between the frame 1 and the middle frame 3, making installation simple and precise. The multi-sided fit forms a wrap-around fixation, and the locking holes 41 strengthen the connection, effectively preventing loosening.

[0038] Preferably, both the frame 1 and the rear frame 4 are made of stainless steel.

[0039] Preferably, the transparent plate 2 is a PC plate, an acrylic plate, or a glass plate.

[0040] Preferably, the upper part of the back of the rear frame 4 is provided with a hanging hole 42, and the lower part is provided with a support hole 43, with a detachable support rod provided on the support hole 43. In this embodiment, the hanging hole 42 can be directly used for wall hanging, and the support rod is installed after the support hole 43, so that the picture frame can be stably placed on a flat surface such as a desktop or bookshelf, adapting to different scenarios. The support rod is detachable, allowing for quick switching between hanging and placement modes without tools, meeting the diverse display needs of users. In addition, the hanging hole 42 and the support hole 43 are symmetrically positioned, ensuring a balanced center of gravity when hanging, and providing bottom support when placed, enhancing stability.

[0041] Preferably, the support hole 43 is an internally threaded hole, and the support hole 43 is threadedly connected to the support rod; the rear frame 4 is provided with an inner groove that matches the shape of the support rod, and a magnetic block is provided in the groove, which magnetically attracts the support rod. In this embodiment, the support rod is adaptable to different placement scenarios and can be freely switched between horizontal and vertical orientations by cooperating with the hanging hole 42. When not in use, the support rod can be attracted and hidden in the groove without affecting the suspension.

[0042] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model features knobs at the top and bottom of the frame, and locking holes on the rear frame that mate with the knobs. Locking or unlocking is achieved by using a locking block at the bottom of the knob with the locking hole. Rotating the knob allows for quick assembly and disassembly, enabling the frame to be assembled quickly without tools, facilitating photo replacement later. The structure of this utility model is simple; the limiting retaining ring effectively prevents the transparent plate from wobbling; the snap ring connecting the knob improves the stability of the locking structure; and the knob locking design is convenient to operate and provides a good locking effect, effectively enhancing the practicality and user experience of the photo frame.

[0043] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
