Between the upper plate surface 2 and the second boundary wall 6, the storage cavity 9 is restricted from being opened or closed by external force; the lower base plate 11 is fixedly connected to the lower bottom surface of the frame 5; the base 12 includes a chassis 13 and a rotating component 14 disposed on the chassis 13; the chassis 13 is connected to the lower base plate 11 through a connector, and the rotating component 14 abuts against the lower base plate 11 so that the lower base plate 11 can rotate relative to the base 12 under the drive of external force.

[0037] refer to Figure 8-11 As shown, the rotating component 14 includes a ball retainer 15, a ball groove 16 protruding from the ball retainer 15, and a ball 17 embedded in the ball groove 16; the ball groove 16 is evenly distributed along the ball retainer 15, and the ball 17 protrudes from the ball groove 16 and abuts against the lower base plate 11; wherein, when the frame 5 rotates relative to the base 12, the bottom surface of the lower base plate 11 makes rolling contact with the ball 17.

[0038] Two-thirds of the ball 17 is enclosed by the ball groove 16, and the ball 17 can roll relative to the ball groove 16.

[0039] The ball retainer 15 is annular in shape, and the number of ball grooves 16 is at least two, with the ball grooves 16 distributed in a circular array along the circumference of the ball retainer 15.

[0040] The chassis 13 is provided with a recessed annular groove 18, and at least a portion of the ball bearing retainer 15 is embedded in the annular groove 18.

[0041] The thickness of the upper and lower sides of the plate surface is adapted to the groove width of the groove slide 10 so that the plate surface is embedded in the groove slide 10. The groove width of the groove slide 10 is adapted to the thickness of the plate surface to ensure that the plate surface can be firmly embedded in the groove slide 10 and slide smoothly.

[0043] The long isolation wall 7 and the short isolation wall 8 are at the same vertical height relative to the surface of the lower base plate 11, and their heights are close to the lower edge of the groove slide 10.

[0044] refer to Figure 10 One or more anti-slip pads 19 are provided on the bottom surface of the chassis 13.

[0045] The chassis 13 has a hole 20 at its center, and the connector passes through the hole 20 to connect with the lower base plate 11.

[0046] The above technical solution provides a new type of jigsaw puzzle board, whose structure mainly consists of a top plate 1, a frame 5, a bottom plate 11, and a chassis 13.

[0047] The top plate 1 includes an upper surface 2, a first boundary wall 3, and a limiting block 4. The top plate 1 is made of a sturdy and smooth material, such as high-density fiberboard or acrylic board, for use as a work surface for jigsaw puzzles. The first boundary wall 3 is fixed to the longer side of the top plate. When the top plate 1 closes the storage cavity 9, the first boundary wall 3 abuts against the second boundary wall 6. The upper and lower sides of the upper surface 2 are positioned in grooved slides 10, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the limiting block 4 can be set in the form of one or more blocks. The limiting block 4 is connected to the upper plate surface 2 and is placed between the long isolation wall 7 and the second boundary wall 6. So when the upper plate surface 2 is opened by external force, the upper plate surface 2 cannot be completely pulled out, avoiding the upper plate surface 2 from falling out. At the same time, all storage cavities 9 can be opened, making it easier for users to find and put away items, which is more convenient.

[0048] like Figure 6The frame 5 is made of sturdy and durable materials, such as wood or plastic, to ensure overall stability and durability. The frame 5 includes a second boundary wall 6, a long partition wall 7, and short partition walls 8. The second boundary wall 6 is formed by splicing together in all four directions to create a border. The number of long partition walls 7 and short partition walls 8 is selected according to actual needs and is not limited. In this embodiment, one long partition wall 7 and three short partition walls 8 are preferably used. The border has a rectangular structure, with the long partition wall 7 parallel to and centered on the longer second boundary wall 6. The three short partition walls 8 are parallel to and evenly distributed with the shorter second boundary wall 6. The long partition wall 7, short partition walls 8, and second boundary wall 6, together with the lower base plate 11, form the storage cavity 9. The long partition wall 7 and short partition walls 8 have the same vertical height relative to the surface of the bottom plate, both close to the lower edge of the groove slide 10, so as not to obstruct the closure of the upper plate 2.

[0049] like Figure 8-11 The base 12 comprises a chassis 13, a rotating component 14, and an anti-slip pad 19. The chassis 13 is centrally fixed to the bottom plate using screws or nails. One or more nail holes are located at the center of the upper surface of the chassis 13 for use with the aforementioned screws or nails to secure it to the bottom plate. The chassis 13 employs a stable support structure to ensure the rotating component can be placed securely on the ground.

[0050] The ball bearing retainer 15 is annular in shape and is fitted into a recessed annular groove 18 on the base 13. The ball bearing retainer 15 has upwardly protruding ball grooves 16, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the retainer 15. Each ball groove 16 has a ball 17 movably embedded in it. The ball 17 contacts the bottom surface of the upper plate 2. When the frame 5 rotates relative to the base 12, the bottom surface of the upper plate 2 rolls against the ball 17, thus achieving a smooth rotation effect.

[0051] As can be seen from the above description of specific embodiments, the novel puzzle board of the present invention has the advantages of compact structure, multiple functions, and convenient operation, and can meet the comprehensive needs of players for storage, ease of use and fun of the game.

[0052] The above does not limit the technical scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
