[0028] This utility model proposes a connecting frame.
[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the connecting frame has an opening that can be opened or closed, and the opening allows people to pass through when it is open.
[0030] Specifically, there are several ways to open and close the opening:
[0031] For example, in one embodiment, a soft material that can cover the opening is provided on the connecting frame. When the soft material covers the opening, the opening can be closed. A zipper structure, Velcro structure, or button structure can be provided on the soft material. The soft material can be released from covering the opening by the zipper structure, Velcro structure, or button structure, thereby opening the opening.
[0032] For example, in one embodiment, a switch door that can block the opening is detachably installed on the connecting frame. When it is necessary to open the opening, the switch door can be removed to release the obstruction of the opening, thereby opening the opening. When the opening is blocked by the switch door, the opening is in a closed state.
[0033] This embodiment can also be referred to, in which: as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a door body 1 is also provided, which is pivotally connected to the connecting frame and the door body 1 can swing relative to the connecting frame between the open and closed positions.
[0034] Specifically, a locking mechanism is also provided for locking the door 1. When the door 1 swings to close the opening, the locking mechanism can lock the door 1 and the connecting frame.
[0035] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes a first movable member 21 and a second movable member 22. The first movable member 21 is movably mounted on the connecting frame. The door body 1 has a vertically extending first lock groove 23 with a top opening. The second movable member 22 is movably mounted on the door body 1. The door body 1 can swing relative to the connecting frame between positions where the first movable member 21 and the first lock groove 23 are vertically aligned and staggered. The first movable member 21 can move downward relative to the connecting frame to insert into the first lock groove 23 to lock the door body 1, or move upward to exit the first lock groove 23 to release the door body 1 from the lock. The second movable member 22 can move vertically reciprocating relative to the door body 1 to force the first movable member 21 to move in the direction of exiting the first lock groove 23 or away from the first movable member 21.
[0036] Specifically, the second movable member 22 is movably disposed inside the first lock groove 23, and the second movable member 22 is also fixedly provided with an exposed drive part 29. During the unlocking operation, the second movable member 22 can be driven to move through the drive part 29.
[0037] Specifically, the locking mechanism further includes a first top spring 24 and a tension spring 25. The first top spring 24 is used to apply a spring force to the first movable member 21 in the direction of insertion into the first locking groove 23, and the tension spring 25 is used to apply a spring force to the second movable member 22 in the direction of movement away from the first movable member 21.
[0038] Specifically, the locking mechanism further includes a third movable member 26, a second top spring 27, and a rope (not shown). The connecting frame has a second locking groove 28. The third movable member 26 is movably disposed on the door body 1 below the second movable member 22. The two ends of the rope are connected to the second movable member 22 and the third movable member 26 respectively. When the second movable member 22 forces the first movable member 21 to move in the direction of exiting the first locking groove 23, the rope can drive the third movable member 26 to move upward to exit the second locking groove 28. The second top spring 27 is used to apply a spring force to the third movable member 26 in the direction of inserting into the second locking groove 28.
[0039] Specifically, the door body 1 near the first lock groove 23 and the connecting frame near the second lock groove 28 are both provided with guide surfaces. During the swinging process of the door body 1 toward the vertical alignment of the first lock groove 23 and the first movable member 21, the first movable member 21 can be forced to move away from the first lock groove 23 and the third movable member 26 can be forced to move away from the second lock groove 28 through the two guide surfaces, until the first movable member 21 is vertically aligned with the first lock groove 23 and the third movable member 26 is vertically aligned with the second lock groove 28. Then, the elastic force applied by the first top spring 24 causes the first movable member 21 to automatically insert into the first lock groove 23, and the elastic force applied by the second top spring 27 causes the third movable member 26 to automatically insert into the second lock groove 28.
[0040] Specifically, the connecting frame includes a base rod 31 and two upright rods 32. The lower ends of the two upright rods 32 are respectively connected to the two ends of the base rod 31. The opening is between the two upright rods 32. One side of the door body 1 is pivotally connected to one of the upright rods 32.
[0041] Specifically, the lower end of the upright 32 is provided with a connecting seat 33, which has a socket 34 for the end of the base rod 31 to be inserted into. A locking hole 35 is provided on the inner wall of the socket 34. A fourth movable member (not shown) is movably provided at the end of the base rod 31. The fourth movable member can move relative to the base rod 31 between the position of insertion into the locking hole 35 and the position of withdrawal. After the fourth movable member is inserted into the locking hole 35, it can restrict the movement of the base rod 31 towards the end of the socket 34. A third top spring is also provided, which applies a spring force to the fourth movable member towards the direction of insertion into the locking hole 35.
[0042] Specifically, the locking hole 35 extends to pass through the connecting seat 33. The locking hole 35 is provided with a deformable elastic element 36. The end of the elastic element 36 can be pressed by external force, so that the end of the elastic element 36 deforms in the direction of the insertion port 34. During the deformation process, the fourth movable element is pushed out of the locking hole 35, thereby releasing the restriction of the fourth movable element on the bottom rod 31. After the external force is removed, the elastic element 36 can automatically reset due to the plasticity of its own material.
[0043] Specifically, one of the connecting seats 33 is provided with the second locking groove 28.
[0044] Specifically, one side of the door body 1 is provided with a collar 100 for movably fitting onto the connecting frame, and the door body 1 can be pivotally mounted onto the connecting frame via the collar 100. The collar 100 is specifically movably fitted onto one of the uprights 32.
