A type of folding paper sculpture lantern Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lantern technology, specifically to a folding paper-carved lantern. Background Technology

[0002] Paper-cut lanterns are created by hand or laser engraving, cutting out intricate patterns (such as flowers, birds, landscapes, and geometric designs) from paper. The products have a strong sense of depth, and light passing through them projects delicate light and shadow effects. By combining traditional techniques with modern design, they are imbued with more artistic and cultural connotations beyond functionality, and are widely used in festival decorations, commercial spaces, home furnishings, and weddings / events.

[0003] Existing paper-cut lanterns are usually static three-dimensional structures that cannot be folded, making them inconvenient to store and transport. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a foldable paper sculpture lantern, thereby solving the problems of existing technologies being unable to be folded and inconvenient for storage and transportation.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a folding paper sculpture lantern, including a lantern body assembly and a lamp tube assembly. The lantern body assembly includes multiple cardboard pieces stacked sequentially, each cardboard piece having a hollowed-out pattern engraved on it. The upper and lower ends of the outer sides of two adjacent cardboard pieces are connected by folding parts. The upper and lower ends of the two outermost cardboard pieces among the multiple stacked cardboard pieces are connected by flexible connecting pieces and wrapped around the lamp tube assembly. The lamp tube assembly includes a lamp tube and a light strip column disposed in the inner cavity of the lamp tube. The lamp tube is made of transparent or semi-transparent material. A light strip is disposed on the light strip column. The upper end of the lamp tube has a handle, and the lower end of the lamp tube has a base. The lower end of the base is open to form a battery compartment for placing batteries. The light strip is connected to the batteries via a switch.

A cover shell is fitted with the upper cover, and a handle is provided on the top surface of the cover shell and fixed to the upper cover. The handle is more securely fixed.

[0010] In the above technical solution, preferably, the lower end of the lamp tube is provided with a lower lamp tube fixing component, the lower end of the lower lamp tube fixing component is provided with a lower cover plate, the base is fitted with the lower cover plate, the base is provided with a magnet, and a magnetic sheet is magnetically attracted to the magnet on the bottom surface of the base. This facilitates battery replacement.

[0011] In the above technical solution, preferably, a decorative sleeve is provided on the outer side of the base.

[0012] In the above technical solution, preferably, the top surface of the upper lamp holder is provided with an upper rotating shaft, and the bottom surface of the lower lamp holder is provided with a lower rotating shaft. The flexible connecting pieces at the top and bottom of the cardboard respectively wrap around the upper and lower rotating shafts. Folding and opening are convenient and flexible.

[0013] In the above technical solution, preferably, the bottom surface of the upper lamp holder and the top surface of the lower lamp holder are respectively provided with positioning shafts, and both ends of the lamp strip post are respectively inserted into the positioning shafts. This effectively keeps the lamp strip post in the center of the lamp holder, resulting in uniform light emission.

[0014] In the above technical solution, preferably, the battery can be a rechargeable battery, and the base is provided with a charging interface for charging the rechargeable battery.

[0015] In the above technical solution, preferably, the light strip uses a monochrome LED or a tri-color LED.

[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the folding paper lantern provided by this utility model solves the problems of inconvenient storage and transportation in existing technologies. Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

The upper and lower flexible connecting pieces 13 are respectively arranged to wrap around the upper rotating shaft and the lower rotating shaft.

[0042] Positioning shafts are provided on the bottom surface of the upper lamp holder 22 and the top surface of the lower lamp holder 25, respectively. The two ends of the lamp strip column 30 are inserted into the positioning shafts to position the lamp strip column 30 and keep it in the center position.

[0043] In this application, a rechargeable battery can be used, and the base 50 is provided with a charging interface for charging the rechargeable battery.

[0044] Based on the above description of specific embodiments, the folding paper sculpture lantern provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0045] First, the cardboard pieces can be stacked in sequence to form a folded state, reducing the space occupied during transportation and storage.

[0046] Secondly, the lamp tube has a lamp strip column inside the cavity, and a lamp strip is wound around the lamp strip column, so that the lamp tube emits soft and uniform light.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof as used herein are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a…" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0048] This utility model is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiments. Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
