Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a photo frame that facilitates photo replacement, comprising a frame body 1, a top cover 3, a storage frame 5, and a telescopic spring 17. A first opening 12 is provided through the upper end of the frame body 1. An annular groove 11 penetrating the front and rear ends of the frame body 1 is provided on the inner wall of the upper right side of the first opening 12. A spring cylinder 13 symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the first opening 12. The lower end of the telescopic spring 17 is fixedly connected inside the spring cylinder 13. A second opening 19 is provided through the upper end of the storage frame 5. A telescopic spring 17 is fixedly connected to the edges of the front and rear ends of the storage frame 5. An extension plate 15 is provided, and an auxiliary groove 24 is provided at the upper right edge of the extension plate 15. A spring frame 16 is fixed to the left and right edges of the storage frame 5. The upper end of the telescopic spring 17 is fixed to the spring frame 16. A top cover 3 is hinged to the upper inner wall edge of the first opening 12. A rotating groove 20 is provided through the upper and lower ends of the top cover 3. A connecting shaft 22 is rotatably installed in the rotating groove 20. A switch lever 21 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting shaft 22. A switch block 23 is fixed to the lower end of the connecting shaft 22. The storage frame 5 is set inside the photo frame body 1, and the photo body 4 is set inside the storage frame 5.

[0025] The top cover 3, which opens and closes by flipping, can be used in conjunction with the rotating switch block 23 to easily and quickly open and close the first opening 12 on the main body of the photo frame 1. It can also press down and reset the storage frame 5 containing the photo body 4, which is popped out by the telescopic spring 17, so that the popped-out storage frame 5 can be quickly installed and reset. The telescopic spring 17 can push the storage frame 5 containing the photo body 4 outward when the top cover 3 is opened, so that the user can change the photo.

[0026] Please see Figures 3-4In this embodiment, a first groove 7 is provided through the front end of the photo frame body 1. A glass plate 6 is installed on the inner wall of the first groove 7. The glass plate 6 can better display the photo body 4 outward. The lower edges of the front and rear ends of the photo frame body 1 are fixed with symmetrically distributed protrusions 8. The upper end of the support base 2 is provided with a slot 9. The inner walls of the front and rear ends of the slot 9 are provided with grooves 10. The support base 2 can provide support and bearing for the photo frame body 1 when it is placed. The inner wall of the slot 9 fits with the lower outer edge of the photo frame body 1. The protrusions 8 and grooves 10 are adapted to each other. The adapted protrusions 8 and grooves 10 can facilitate the user to install and place the photo frame body 1 on the support base 2 for fixation.

[0027] Please see Figures 3-6 In this embodiment, the inner walls of the left and right ends of the second opening 19 are provided with limiting grooves 18, and the left and right sides of the photo body 4 are fixed with limiting pieces 14. The limiting pieces 14 and the limiting grooves 18 are adapted to each other. The adapted limiting pieces 14 and the limiting grooves 18 can limit the photo body 4 to be placed in the storage frame 5 so that the photo body 4 can be placed flat in the storage frame 5 for display.

[0028] Please see Figures 4-5 In this embodiment, the spring frame 16 and the spring cylinder 13 are both located between the two sets of extension plates 15. The outer wall of the extension plate 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the first opening 12, and the outer wall of the photo body 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the second opening 19. The spring frame 16 and the spring cylinder 13 located between the two sets of extension plates 15 can not affect the normal displacement of the storage frame 5 when the telescopic spring 17 pushes the storage frame 5 upward. The lower end of the top cover 3 is in contact with the upper end of the extension plate 15 and the photo body 4. The switch block 23 is adapted to the annular groove 11 and the auxiliary groove 24. The upper end of the switch block 23 and the lower end of the switch lever 21 are in contact with the lower and upper ends of the top cover 3, respectively. The adapted switch block 23 and the annular groove 11 and the auxiliary groove 24 can cause the switch block 23 to deform and enter the annular groove 11 during rotation to fix the top cover 3.

[0029] When it is necessary to replace the photo subject 4, simply turn the switch lever 21 to make the connecting shaft 22 drive the switch block 23 to rotate along the inner wall of the annular groove 11 and the auxiliary groove 24, and the plastic switch block 23 deforms and rotates out of the annular groove 11, and then continue to turn the top cover 3 to rotate and open it.

[0030] At the same time, after the top cover 3 is opened, the telescopic spring 17 pushes the spring frame 16 on the storage frame 5 upward along the inner wall of the first opening 12 by the elastic force. Then the user can manually take the photo body 4 out from the second opening 19, and then slide the new photo body 4 and the limiting piece 14 on it into the storage frame 5 along the limiting groove 18 and the inner wall of the second opening 19.

[0031] Then, rotate and close the top cover 3. The top cover 3 presses down on the storage frame 5 containing the photo body 4, causing it to move downward along the inner wall of the first opening 12 and compress the telescopic spring 17. This causes the storage frame 5 containing the photo body 4 to move downward and align with the glass plate 6. Finally, rotate the switch lever 21, causing the connecting shaft 22 to drive the switch block 23 to rotate along the inner wall of the auxiliary groove 24 and the annular groove 11. This causes the switch block 23 to deform and be installed in the annular groove 11.

[0032] Through the above steps, the first opening 12 on the main body 1 of the photo frame can be opened and closed conveniently and quickly by flipping the top cover 3 and rotating the switch block 23. It can also press down and reset the storage frame 5 containing the photo body 4, which is popped out by the telescopic spring 17, so that the popped storage frame 5 can be quickly installed and reset. The telescopic spring 17 can push the storage frame 5 containing the photo body 4 outward when the top cover 3 is opened, so that the user can change the photo. This solves the problem that the existing photo frames are cumbersome and inconvenient to operate when changing photos.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
