[0070] The folding device 1000 of this utility model embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] Example 1

[0072] Reference Figures 1 to 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the folding device 1000 provided according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a fixing member 10, an adapter 30 and a locking member 40;

[0073] The fixing member 10 is provided with a locking protrusion 201; the adapter 30 is movably connected to the fixing member 10; the locking member 40 includes a snap-fit ​​groove 401 and is disposed on the adapter 30.

[0074] Furthermore, when the locking groove 401 of the locking member 40 engages with the locking protrusion 201, the adapter 30 is locked and fixed to the fixing member 10; when the locking groove 401 of the locking member 40 disengages from the locking protrusion 201, the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are in an unlocked state, and the adapter 30 can be folded relative to the fixing member 10.

[0075] Based on the above, it is clear that this application is mainly used as a folding device 1000 in specific implementation.

[0076] Compared with the traditional folding mechanism, the locking protrusion 201 and the locking piece 40 are arranged, and the locking piece 40 comprises the clamping groove 401, when the clamping groove 401 of the locking piece 40 is clamped on the locking protrusion 201, the adapter 30 and the fixed piece 10 are locked and fixed, so that the adapter 30 and the fixed piece 10 are in an unfolded state for use, when the adapter 30 and the fixed piece 10 are in the unfolded state for use, the clamping groove 401 of the locking piece 40 is clamped on the locking protrusion 201, so that they are locked and fixed to each other, so that the use stability and reliability are good, at this time, the adapter 30 can be used as an adapter mechanism, so that an external member is connected to use the external member, such as a support rod arranged on a soft light cloth of a soft light box and the like, of course, the adapter 30 can also be used independently, such as directly as a support rod arranged on a soft light cloth of a soft light box and the like, or directly as an unfolding piece or a hanging piece and the like.

[0077] By contrast Figure 7 And Figure 8 As shown in the figure, when the adapter 30 is not needed, the clamping groove 401 of the locking piece 40 is separated from the locking protrusion 201, at this time, the adapter 30 and the fixed piece 10 are in an unlocked state, and the adapter 30 can be folded relative to the fixed piece 10, so that the folding and storage of the adapter 30 are facilitated, and a large space is not occupied.

[0078] Furthermore, as described above, the folding meaning of the present application does not necessarily mean that the adapter 30 and the fixed piece 10 are folded and overlapped or folded and overlapped, even if they are folded at a certain angle, it is still folded, and still limited within the protection scope required by the present application.

[0079] Further, in specific implementation, according to an embodiment of the present application, the adapter 30 and the fixed piece 10 are preferably rotationally connected, so that the adapter 30 can be rotationally folded relative to the fixed piece 10, so that the folding is convenient.

[0080] In the technical solution, the locking piece 40 is preferably rotationally connected with the adapter 30, so that when the clamping groove 401 on the locking piece 40 is clamped on the locking protrusion 201, the adapter 30 and the fixed piece 10 are locked and fixed, and when the locking piece 40 is rotated, the clamping groove 401 on the locking piece 40 is separated from the locking protrusion 201, at this time, the adapter 30 and the fixed piece 10 are in an unlocked state, so that the adapter 30 can be rotationally folded relative to the fixed piece 10.

[0081] Preferably, in the technical solution, according to one of the embodiments of the present application, the adapter 30 is provided with a rotating shaft A302 rotatably connected with the fixing member 10; the locking member 40 is provided with a rotating shaft B402 rotatably connected with the adapter 30.

[0082] And preferably, in the technical solution, according to Figure 2 and Figure 5 the drawings, according to one of the embodiments of the present application, the fixing member 10 is provided with the locking protrusion 201 upward; the first end of the adapter 30 is horizontally provided with the rotating shaft A302 rotatably connected with the fixing member 10, and the second end of the adapter 30 is provided away from the fixing member 10, that is, horizontally provided or horizontally arranged so that the corresponding second end is away from the fixing member 10.

[0083] On this basis, the locking member 40 is arranged in the same direction as the adapter 30 and is arranged on the upper part of the adapter 30, and the first end of the locking member 40 is provided with the buckling groove 401, and the middle part of the locking member 40 is horizontally provided with the rotating shaft B402.

[0084] When the locking member 40 is pressed so that the first end of the locking member 40 is buckled and separated from the locking protrusion 201, the second end of the adapter 30 can be rotated downward to the vertical direction to be folded.

[0085] Therefore, when the locking member 40 is pressed so that the first end of the locking member 40 is buckled and separated from the locking protrusion 201, the second end of the adapter 30 can be rotated downward to the vertical direction to be folded, so that the adapter 30 does not occupy a large space when not in use.

[0086] The operation mode of pressing the locking member 40 is simple and convenient, and the use of the present application in the embodiment is convenient.

[0087] Further, in the specific implementation, according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 the drawings, according to one of the embodiments of the present application, the second end of the locking member 40 and the second end of the adapter 30 have a pressing gap therebetween.

[0088] When the second end of the locking member 40 is pressed downward so that the pressing gap is reduced to a preset value, the buckling groove 401 is buckled to be separated from the locking protrusion 201.

[0089] It can be clearly seen that the above-mentioned related operation of the present application adopts the principle of a lever. When the second end of the locking member 40 is pressed downward to reduce the pressing gap to a preset value, the buckle groove 401 can be raised to disengage from the locking protrusion 201. Thereafter, the second end of the adapter 30 is driven to rotate downward to the vertical direction to be folded. The related operation is indeed very labor-saving, and the use of the present application is indeed convenient and effortless.

[0090] Further, in specific implementation, according to one embodiment of the present application, the present application further comprises an upper spring 50;

[0091] The upper spring 50 in a compressed state is fixed between the locking member 40 and the adapter 30.

[0092] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5 The upper spring 50 in a compressed state is fixed between the locking member 40 and the adapter 30, and is located between the rotating shaft B402 and the second end of the locking member 40, or between the rotating shaft B402 and the second end of the adapter 30. The second end of the locking member 40 is lifted to tightly buckle the buckle groove 401 at the first end of the locking member 40 to the outside of the locking protrusion 201.

[0093] Therefore, it can be clearly seen that when the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are locked and fixed, and the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are used in an unfolded state, the elastic resistance of the upper spring 50 can tightly buckle the buckle groove 401 at the first end of the locking member 40 to the outside of the locking protrusion 201, so that the stability of the unfolded use of the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 is effectively enhanced. In addition, when the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are transformed from a folded state to an unfolded state, the buckle groove 401 can be buckled to the outside of the locking protrusion 201 more easily and labor-savingly. This is because in the buckling process, the second end of the locking member 40 is lifted to make the buckle groove 401 at the first end of the locking member 40 move downward to freely disengage the locking protrusion 201. The related action process does not need to operate the locking member 40 with hands.

[0094] In another embodiment, the upper top spring 50 in the compressed state is fixed between the locking member 40 and the adapter 30, and is located between the rotating shaft B402 and the first end of the locking member 40, or between the rotating shaft B402 and the first end of the adapter 30, so as to keep a certain upper top force on the first end of the locking member 40 under the condition that the first end of the locking member 40 is tightly buckled outside the locking protrusion 201.

[0095] Therefore, it can be clearly seen that after the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are locked and fixed, and the adapter 30 and the fixing member 10 are used in the unfolded state, if it is needed to fold them, the second end of the locking member 40 is pressed downward to reduce the pressing gap to a preset value, at this time, the buckling groove 401 is upturned to be separated from the locking protrusion 201, so that the second end of the adapter 30 and the second end of the locking member 40 are folded downward relative to the fixing member 10. Since the upper top spring 50 keeps a certain upper top force on the first end of the locking member 40, when the second end of the locking member 40 is pressed downward, the upper top spring 50 keeps up top on the first end of the locking member 40 to provide a certain assistance, so that when the second end of the locking member 40 is pressed downward, the operation is quite labor-saving, and the buckling groove 401 of the first end of the locking member 40 can be separated from the locking protrusion 201 as soon as possible to achieve quick unlocking, so that the second end of the adapter 30 can be folded downward relative to the fixing member 10 as soon as possible.

[0096] It can be understood that the two setting positions of the upper top spring 50 are preferred embodiments of the application, and the scheme that the upper top spring 50 is arranged above the rotating shaft B402 is also within the protection scope of the application.

[0097] Further, the above optimization design makes the use effect of the whole application be effectively improved.

[0098] In addition, in specific implementation, referring to Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the application, a connecting hole 305 is formed downward on the upper end face of the adapter 30, the lower end of the upper top spring 50 is clamped in the connecting hole 305, and the upper end of the upper top spring 50 abuts against the lower bottom face of the locking member 40.

[0099] Therefore, it can be clearly seen that by forming the connecting hole 305, the lower end of the upper top spring 50 can be stably clamped, so that it is not easy to fall off, and the use is reliable.

[0100] Further, in specific implementation, referring toFigure 9 As shown in the drawing, it is the front view of the folding device in the unfolded state according to an embodiment of the present application, the locking piece 40 is buckled in the locking lug 201, and the adapter 30 is in the unfolded state, and the height of the first end is equal to or higher than the height of the second end.

[0101] In this way, the adapter 30 is hung with an article near the second end, or the second end is connected with an external component, such as a support rod provided on the soft light cloth of a soft light box, etc. The second end of the adapter 30 will naturally sag due to gravity, so that the buckling groove 401 will be firmly buckled outside the locking lug 201. In this way, the adapter 30 and the fixing piece 10 are locked and fixed, so that the adapter 30 and the fixing piece 10 are in the unfolded state for use.

[0102] Again, in the specific implementation, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, the locking lug 201 is provided with a plurality of locking lugs, and is arranged around the fixing piece 10. The adapter 30 and the locking piece 40 are correspondingly provided with a plurality of adapters. The buckling groove 401, the shaft A 302, the shaft B 402 and the upper top spring 50 are also correspondingly provided with a plurality of adapters.

[0103] In this way, the plurality of adapters 30 can be used independently or jointly, so that the use is flexible.

[0104] And preferably, in the technical solution, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, the application further comprises a plurality of connection buckles 20 arranged around the upper end surface of the fixing piece 10. Each of the connection buckles 20 is provided with a locking lug 201.

[0105] In the preferred solution, the upper end surface of the fixing piece 10 is cut down to form a plurality of limiting clamping grooves 101, and a plurality of connection buckles 20 are correspondingly fixed in the plurality of limiting clamping grooves 101.

[0106] In this way, the plurality of connection buckles 20 are not easy to move circumferentially during use, so that they are stable in use. Of course, in actual application, the plurality of connection buckles 20 can be integrally formed with the fixing piece 10.

[0107] And preferably, in the technical solution, continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, according to one embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of the connecting buckle 20 is opened respectively through the fixed hole 202 of its upper and lower end surface; a plurality of the limiting card slot 101 groove bottom is opened respectively downwardly and the screw hole 102 is located just below a plurality of the fixed hole 202;

[0108] Based on this, in the present application, a plurality of the connecting buckle 20 is connected with the fixing part 10 by the fastening bolt 60 threaded in the fixed hole 202 and the screw hole 102 opposite in the upper and lower positions to form an integral.

[0109] Therefore, for the present application in the embodiment, the plurality of the connecting buckle 20 is detachable, which is fixed by clamping when in use and is easy to disassemble and replace when broken.

[0110] And in the specific implementation, it is also shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of the connecting buckle 20 lower bottom surface near its outer end is opened upwardly respectively, and a plurality of the rotating shaft A302 two ends are correspondingly rotatable and clamped in a plurality of the rotating groove 203;

[0111] Based on this, in the present application, a plurality of the connecting buckle 20 outer end surface is aligned with the vertical direction of the peripheral side wall of the fixing part 10, and a plurality of the connecting buckle 20 outer end surface is opened inwardly respectively and has the avoidance slot A204 corresponding to a plurality of the rotating groove 203; the peripheral side wall of the fixing part 10 is opened inwardly and has a plurality of avoidance slots B103 corresponding to the lower part of a plurality of the avoidance slots A204; a plurality of sets of the avoidance slots A204 and the avoidance slots B103 opposite in the upper and lower positions correspond to a plurality of the rotating connectors 30 for rotating avoidance, and the slot opening horizontal width of the avoidance slots A204 and the slot opening horizontal width of the avoidance slots B103 opposite in the upper and lower positions are all less than the length of the rotating shaft A302 at the corresponding position.

[0112] Therefore, in the present application, a plurality of the connecting buckle 20 outer end surface is aligned with the vertical direction of the peripheral side wall of the fixing part 10, and a plurality of the rotating groove 203, a plurality of the avoidance slots A204 and a plurality of the avoidance slots B103 are arranged to realize the rotating connection of a plurality of the rotating connectors 30, that is, the structure of the fixing part 10 and a plurality of the connecting buckle 20 in the present application can be fully utilized, so that the overall volume of the present application can be greatly reduced, so that the overall structure of the present application is very small and exquisite and does not occupy much space, so that it is convenient to carry and take, and when a plurality of the rotating connectors 30 are folded downwardly, the overall volume of the present application can be smaller, so that the storage performance is better.

[0113] Moreover, in the specific implementation, according to the drawings Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, the plurality of locking members 40 are shaped as inverted U-shaped structures in longitudinal section, so that their left and right sides are correspondingly wrapped on the upper portions of the plurality of adapter members 30.

[0114] In this way, the overall thickness of the present application can be greatly reduced, making it further smaller and more delicate and occupying less space.

[0115] On this basis, according to the drawings Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a plurality of through holes 304 are respectively formed in the plurality of adapter members 30, which extend through the left and right end faces thereof; a plurality of shafts B402 are correspondingly arranged in the plurality of through holes 304, and the left and right ends thereof are correspondingly connected to the middle portions of the left and right sides of the plurality of locking members 40.

[0116] In this way, the middle portions of the plurality of locking members 40 are correspondingly connected to the upper portions of the plurality of adapter members 30.

[0117] Furthermore, in the specific implementation, according to the drawings Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, the fixing member 10 is shaped as a ring structure, and the inside thereof is formed as a mounting space, which is suitable for clamping a light emitter or for fixing a chuck 70 for mounting a light emitter.

[0118] Therefore, it can be clearly seen that the present application in the embodiment is preferably used as a folding device 1000 for fixing a plurality of support rods on a soft light cloth of a soft light box, and in the implementation, the fixing member 10 can be directly used to clamp a light emitter, or can be used to fix a chuck 70 for mounting a light emitter, and then the chuck 70 is used to fix the light emitter. The chuck 70 is a common prior art, such as a Baorong chuck, and therefore its specific structure is not described in detail here.

[0119] Embodiment Two

[0130] In this way, when the insertion ends of the plurality of support rods or other various purpose connecting rods are inserted and fixed into the plurality of said metal plug-in cylinders 303, the insertion can be stable and the plurality of said jacks 301 are not easy to be inserted and broken, so that the overall service life of the application is long.

[0131] It should be further noted that in specific implementation, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8 shown, whether it is the above embodiment one, or the above embodiment two, the lower surface of the fixed part 10 is also stacked and fixed with a reinforcing ring 80 made of metal material, and when the application has said fixed chuck 70, said fixed chuck 70 is preferably fixed on the upper part of said fixed part 10, and its lower periphery is fixed with the inner periphery of said fixed part 10 as a whole.

[0132] It should be further noted that in specific implementation, whether it is the above embodiment one, or the above embodiment two, in the folding device 1000 described in the application, the fixed part 10 can be hollow circular structure, hollow rectangular structure, hollow square structure or hollow regular polygon structure, so that the soft light box with said folding device 1000 can be circular, rectangular, square or regular polygon in shape when it is unfolded, so that different use requirements can be met, and the number of adapters 30 and the number of corresponding connecting support rods are not limited.

[0133] Moreover, in specific implementation, the soft light box provided by the application in embodiment two, especially the large size soft light box provided by the application, its outer diameter can basically reach more than 2 meters, so its weight will be very heavy, so it is very difficult to operate and use the related scheme of the utility model patent with the patent number “202022910474.3” of the prior application of the present patent applicant “portable folding light shield frame” or similar scheme, so it is necessary to design the related scheme of the present application, especially for large size soft light box.

[0134] When the folding device 1000 is implemented, the soft light box provided by the folding device 1000 is in a half-expanded state and shaped like a tent, and the soft light cloth of the soft light box is placed on the folding device 1000, so that the plurality of support rods arranged on the soft light cloth are connected to the plurality of adapters 30 in sequence from front to back, and the plurality of buckling grooves 401 are buckled to the plurality of locking protrusions 201, so that the soft light box is expanded and fixed.

[0135] When the soft light box provided by the folding device 1000 is a large-size soft light box, in order to make it more labor-saving to fold and store, the actual product of example one is made, and the height of the first end of the plurality of adapters 30 is much higher than the height of the second end, that is, the height of the second end is relatively lower than the height of the first end. In this way, when the second end of the plurality of locking members 40 is pressed to make the plurality of pressing gaps decrease to a preset value, the plurality of buckling grooves 401 can be more quickly and labor-savingly buckled to be separated from the plurality of locking protrusions 201. At this time, the outer ends of the plurality of support rods on the soft light cloth of the soft light box can be more quickly and labor-savingly rotated downward to the vertical direction to be folded, so that the soft light cloth of the soft light box provided by the folding device 1000 can be more quickly and labor-savingly folded and stored.
