Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signage technology, and in particular to an adjustable sign. Background Technology

[0002] With the construction and development of modern cities, signage has been widely used in public facilities, advertising, traffic guidance and other fields.

[0003] Most existing signs use a single support or suspension structure, which is not very adaptable to different usage scenarios. In particular, when it is necessary to change the support or suspension method, the signs cannot flexibly adapt to the needs of different environments and often need to be manually adjusted or disassembled, which causes inconvenience to users. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable signboard. This solution aims to provide a signboard structure that can switch between hanging and base-supported functions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes an adjustable signboard, which includes a signboard frame, a support mechanism, and a suspension assembly.

[0006] The suspension assembly is disposed on the back of the sign frame and is used to suspend and fix the sign to an external fixed object. The support mechanism includes a foldable support frame and a pivot. The foldable support frame is connected to the sign frame through the pivot and can be rotated and stored in the back of the sign frame.

[0007] The foldable support frame is provided with a locking component between itself and the sign frame, which is used to lock the foldable support frame into a storage state so as to switch to the use of the suspension component.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the foldable support frame includes a movable frame and a positioning bracket. The movable frame has multiple positioning slots spaced apart on both sides. One end of the positioning bracket is hinged to the movable frame, and the other end is snapped into each of the positioning slots to support the sign frame.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the suspension assembly includes two symmetrically distributed arc-shaped clamping arms and a connecting bolt, wherein the clamping arms are adjustable in clamping width via the connecting bolt to accommodate external fixtures.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the locking component includes a first magnet and a second magnet. The first magnet is fixed to both sides of the back of the sign frame, and the second magnet is fixed to the contact surface of the foldable support frame. When the foldable support frame is rotated and fitted into a stowed state, the first magnet and the second magnet are fixed by magnetic attraction, thereby locking the foldable support frame.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the movable frame is further provided with an extension frame on the side away from the pivot. The extension frame is movably disposed inside the movable frame via a sliding rail and is capable of extending and retracting along the sliding rail.

[0012] This utility model's technical solution integrates a foldable support frame and suspension assembly on the back of the sign frame, allowing users to quickly switch between suspension and support modes as needed, simplifying operation. The support mechanism, consisting of the foldable support frame and a pivot, allows the support frame to be freely adjusted in angle to support the sign. When not in use, it can be stored back in the sign frame, and a locking component ensures its stable fixation, preventing accidental deployment when not in use. The suspension assembly uses arc-shaped clamping arms and adjustable connecting bolts, easily fixing the sign to external objects of various shapes, significantly improving the installation flexibility of the sign.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0021] To address the problems in the background technology, this utility model proposes an adjustable signboard, including a signboard frame 1, a support mechanism 2, and a suspension assembly 3;

[0022] The suspension assembly 3 is disposed on the back of the sign frame 1 and is used to suspend and fix the sign to an external fixed object. The support mechanism 2 includes a foldable support frame 21 and a rotating shaft 22. The foldable support frame 21 is connected to the sign frame 1 through the rotating shaft 22 and can be rotated and fitted into the back of the sign frame 1.

[0023] The foldable support frame 21 is provided with a locking component 4 between it and the sign frame 1, which is used to lock the foldable support frame 21 to a storage state so as to switch to the use of the suspension component 3.

[0024] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sign structure in this embodiment consists of three parts: a sign frame 1, a support mechanism 2, and a suspension assembly 3. The sign frame 1 is a composite structure of a lightweight aluminum alloy frame and a high-strength acrylic panel. Information such as advertising slogans, traffic signs, or directional signs can be placed inside the frame. The suspension assembly 3 is located on the back of the sign frame 1 and is designed to connect to external fixed objects. It can employ hooks, rings, buckles, clamps, or other structures. The function of the suspension assembly 3 is to ensure that the sign can be securely suspended from walls, poles, tree trunks, or other fixed objects.

[0025] The support mechanism 2 is located at the bottom of the sign frame 1 and includes a foldable support frame 21 and a pivot 22. The support frame provides additional support, allowing the sign to stand stably on the ground or other support points when not suspended. The pivot 22 uses a damped double-bearing hinge, vertically embedded on both sides of the back of the frame, allowing the support frame to be freely adjusted in angle from 0° to 90°. This design allows the support frame to rotate flexibly and adjust the support angle or storage state according to actual needs. In addition, a locking component 4 is provided between the contact surface between the support frame and the sign frame 1. The locking component 4 can be a snap, pin, or magnetic structure, etc., to ensure that when the support frame is folded to the 0° storage state, it can be firmly fixed by the locking component 4, preventing the support frame from being accidentally unfolded when not in use.

[0026] That is, the support method of the sign can be switched according to the usage scenario: when the foldable support frame 21 is unfolded, the sign can stand upright; when the foldable support frame 21 is folded for storage, the support frame can be rotated and folded towards the back of the frame along the pivot 22, and locked by the locking component 4 to ensure that the support frame fits tightly and is not exposed. At this time, the suspension component 3 can be used to suspend and fix the sign.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the foldable support frame 21 includes a movable frame 211 and a positioning bracket 212. The movable frame 211 has a plurality of positioning slots 213 spaced apart on both sides. One end of the positioning bracket 212 is hinged to the movable frame 211, and the other end is snapped into each of the positioning slots 213 to support the sign frame 1.

[0028] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the movable frame 211 is made of aluminum alloy profile and has a U-shaped structure. Multiple positioning slots 213 are spaced along the length of its two side wing plates. The slots are semi-circular and concave, evenly arranged at 15° intervals along the longitudinal direction of the movable frame 211, with a total of 6 sets of positioning points. Each set of slot edges has a chamfered edge to enhance guidance. One side of the movable frame 211 is hinged to the back of the signboard frame 1 via a pivot 22, allowing the movable frame 211 to rotate freely around the pivot 22 within a range of 0° (fully fitting the frame) to 90° (vertically unfolded). The positioning bracket 212 has its top side connected to the center of the back of the signboard frame 1 via a damped hinge shaft, and its bottom side matches the arc-shaped contour of the positioning slots 213. When unfolding the support frame, the user holds the end of the movable frame 211 and pulls it outward to the desired unfolding position. Then, the user pulls the positioning bracket 212 so that one side of its bottom is inserted into the positioning groove 213 at the corresponding angle. At this time, the movable frame 211 and the positioning bracket 212 form a stable triangular support structure to stably support the sign frame 1. In addition, the back of the frame is also provided with a groove that matches the bottom side of the positioning bracket 212 to accommodate the positioning bracket 212, ensuring that there are no protruding parts after folding.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the suspension assembly 3 includes two symmetrically distributed arc-shaped clamping arms 31 and a connecting bolt 32. The clamping arms can be adjusted in clamping width via the connecting bolt 32 to accommodate external fixing objects.

[0030] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of suspension components 3 are provided on the back of the sign frame 1 to enhance suspension stability. Each suspension component 3 consists of two arc-shaped clamping arms 31 and connecting bolts 32. The clamping arms are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, are semi-circular in shape, have an anti-slip rubber layer attached to the inner wall, and have diamond-shaped raised patterns molded on the surface to enhance friction. Through holes are provided on both sides of the two clamping arms for the connecting bolts 32 to pass through and connect, so as to adapt to columns with different cross-sectional sizes. Specifically, when suspension is required, the bolts are first loosened to unfold the clamping arms, the column is placed between the two arms, and the knob is rotated in the opposite direction to lock it. The anti-slip rubber layer is in close contact with the surface of the column to prevent slippage.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the locking component 4 includes a first magnet 41 and a second magnet 42. The first magnet 41 is fixed to both sides of the back of the sign frame 1, and the second magnet 42 is fixed to the contact surface of the foldable support frame 21. When the foldable support frame 21 is rotated and fitted into a storage state, the first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42 are fixed by magnetic attraction, thereby locking the foldable support frame 21.

[0032] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the locking component 4 adopts a magnetic automatic locking structure, consisting of a first magnet 41 and a second magnet 42, to achieve quick fixation when the foldable support frame 21 is stored. The first magnet 41 is a rectangular neodymium iron boron permanent magnet, which is fixed to the pre-set aluminum alloy grooves on both sides of the back of the sign frame 1 with epoxy resin adhesive. The depth of the groove is consistent with the thickness of the magnet to ensure a flat surface after installation. The second magnet 42 is a circular magnet of the same material, which is embedded in the contact surface of the foldable support frame 21. The user only needs to press the unfolded support frame against the back of the frame to lock it through magnetic attraction, without any additional operation; to unlock, the support frame can be unfolded by overcoming the magnetic attraction.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the movable frame 211 is further provided with an extension frame 5 on the side away from the rotating shaft 22. The extension frame 5 is movably disposed inside the movable frame 211 via a sliding rail and can extend and retract along the sliding rail.

[0034] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the main body of the extension frame 5 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy profile and is integrated into the movable frame 211 through a sliding rail. Its telescopic length is fixed by a locking pin, realizing a quick telescopic adjustment function. Specifically, when the movable frame 211 is extended to the working angle, the user can pull out the extension frame 5 to increase the support span, and can press down the extension frame 5 with a heavy object to significantly improve the stability of the sign; when storing, pressing the locking pin will push the extension frame 5 completely into the movable frame 211.
