Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rotatable bookshelf with layered lighting, belonging to the field of bookshelves. Background Technology

[0002] A rotating bookshelf is a type of bookshelf that can rotate 360 ​​degrees, typically centered around a pivot point. This design allows items on the shelf to be easily accessed from any angle, making it particularly suitable for improving storage and retrieval convenience in limited spaces. Rotating bookshelves are often used in exhibition halls, reading rooms, or larger spaces such as libraries or bookstores for display and easy access for readers.

[0003] However, this rotating bookshelf has a drawback. Since the rotating bookshelf requires the entire shelf to rotate, and each shelf is equipped with vertical and horizontal partitions, it will block the light, making it difficult to see the items placed on the bookshelf. Therefore, this utility model provides a rotating bookshelf with layered lighting. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a rotatable bookshelf with layered lighting, including a number of rotating layers 10, adapters 20, support rods 30, and transparent tubes 40. Each rotating layer 10 has a mounting hole 102 at the center of its horizontal partition 101. The adapter 20 is installed in the mounting hole 102, and the adapter 20 allows the support rods 30 and transparent tubes 40 to pass through, so that the support rods 30 or transparent tubes 40 are connected in series with two or more rotating layers 10.

[0027] This utility model also includes an illumination structure 50, which is installed in the transparent tube 40 or distributed on the bottom surface of the horizontal partition 101 of each rotating layer 10 through the transparent tube 40.

[0028] This utility model also includes a base 60 and a rotating turntable. The rotating layer 10 located at the bottom is fixed to the base 60 by the rotating turntable. The rotating turntable mentioned here is a device that enables the bookshelf to rotate freely. It usually consists of two turntables and a bearing connecting the two turntables. One turntable is fixed to the base, and the other is fixed to the bottom of the rotating layer 10 at the bottom, so as to enable the rotating layer 10 to rotate on the base 60.

[0029] In the above technical solutions, the present invention uses a transparent tube 40 to install a lighting structure, or uses a transparent tube 40 to distribute the lighting structure on the bottom surface of the horizontal partition 101 of each rotating layer 10, so that each rotating layer 10 can be illuminated by the light source.

[0030] In this embodiment, the transparent tube 40 is formed by connecting several hollow tubes 401 end to end.

[0031] In this embodiment, the transparent tube 40 is made of transparent plastic material, which has high transparency and a light transmittance of usually over 90%, enabling the light from the lamp strips built into the transparent tube 40 to shine through for illumination.

[0032] In this embodiment, the two adjacent hollow tubes 401 are connected by threads, which are tightly interlocked, so there is no need to worry about the hollow tubes 401 coming off.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lighting structure 50 includes a light strip 501, a switch 502, and a power supply. The light strip 501 is installed in the transparent tube 40 or distributed on the bottom surface of the horizontal partition 101 of each rotating layer 10 through the transparent tube 40. The switch 502 is electrically connected to the light strip 501 and the power supply located externally.

[0034] In other embodiments, unlike this embodiment, a wedge-shaped opening 402 is provided on the end face of the first or last end of the hollow tube 401, so that after two adjacent hollow tubes 401 are connected, an outlet is formed for the lighting structure 50 to extend out. That is, the light strip 501 can extend out along the outlet and be fixed on the horizontal partition 101 of the rotating layer 10. The light strip 501 can be arranged in a ring or in a fan shape.

[0035] Furthermore, the two adjacent hollow tubes 401 are fixed by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, which facilitates precise alignment and improves the practicality of the equipment.

[0036] Furthermore, a hook 403 is fixed on the inner wall of the hollow tube 401 directly below the wedge-shaped opening 402 to fix the light strip 501. When it is bent and fixed on the bottom surface of the horizontal partition 101, it is limited and fixed to prevent slippage.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
