Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decorative picture frame technology, specifically a wall-mounted picture frame structure with a hidden hook. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional wall-mounted picture frame hooks typically use exposed hooks or recessed backplate hooks. When installing exposed hooks, the hooks need to be aligned with wall nails or expansion screws for hanging. The disadvantage is that the hooks are exposed for a long time, which can easily scratch the wall and ruin the overall minimalist aesthetic of the picture frame. Recessed backplate hooks require the operator to observe the relative position of the hook and nail on the back of the picture frame from the front of the picture frame. The obstructed view makes alignment difficult and makes it difficult to hang the wall-mounted picture frame. Therefore, a wall-mounted picture frame structure with hidden hooks is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a wall-mounted picture frame structure with a concealed hook. This structure offers advantages such as easy alignment of the hook with nails for hanging the frame, and the ability to conceal the hook and nail after hanging. It solves the problems of exposed hooks, which require aligning the hook with wall nails or expansion screws, making them prone to scratching the wall and compromising the overall minimalist aesthetic of the frame. Furthermore, embedded back panel hooks require the operator to observe the relative position of the hook and nail from the front of the frame, obstructing the view and making alignment difficult, thus hindering the hanging of the wall-mounted picture frame.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A wall-mounted picture frame structure with a hidden hook, including a picture frame, the picture frame including an upper frame, characterized in that: the top of the upper frame is provided with a cross groove communicating with the rear side, the bottom of the cross groove is provided with elastic components symmetrically distributed from left to right, the outer side of the elastic components is provided with a T-shaped plate that is adapted to the cross groove, the top of the T-shaped plate is fixedly connected with hanging ears symmetrically distributed from left to right, the interior of the upper frame is provided with locking core components located on both sides of the cross groove and symmetrically distributed from left to right, the opposite end of each locking core component extends into the cross groove and contacts and adapts to the left and right ends of the T-shaped plate respectively, the top of the upper frame is provided with unlocking components located on both sides of the cross groove and symmetrically distributed from left to right and extending into it, the lower end of the unlocking component is adapted to the locking core component.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0008] This wall-mounted picture frame structure with concealed hooks allows for simultaneous pressing of the unlocking components on both sides, which in turn moves the locking core component to its opposite side. The opposite end of the locking core component separates from the T-shaped plate, thus releasing the locking core component's locking limit on the T-shaped plate. The elastic component then restores its deformation, causing the T-shaped plate and hanging ears to extend out of the cross groove. By placing the hanging ears on the outside of the nails, the picture frame can be hung below the nails. Pressing the T-shaped plate causes it to move relative to the upper frame, and the T-shaped plate slowly enters the cross groove until the locking core component locks and limits the T-shaped plate. At this point, the T-shaped plate, hanging ears, and nails are all hidden in the cross groove. This design offers the advantages of easy hook alignment with nails for hanging the picture frame, and the ability to conceal the hooks and nails after hanging.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, the unlocking component includes a wedge-shaped pressure rod and a third spring. The top of the upper frame is slidably connected with wedge-shaped pressure rods located on both sides of the cross groove and symmetrically distributed and extending into it. The lower ends of the wedge-shaped pressure rods are respectively adapted to the wedge grooves. The outer sides of the wedge-shaped pressure rods are all fitted with a third spring located inside the upper frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking core assembly includes a slanted slide rod, a second spring, and a wedge-shaped groove. The upper frame is slidably connected to the slanted slide rods located on both sides of the cross groove and symmetrically distributed. The opposite ends of the slanted slide rods extend into the cross groove and respectively contact and fit with the left and right ends of the T-shaped plate. The opposite ends of the slanted slide rods are provided with a second spring located inside the upper frame. The top of the slanted slide rods is provided with a wedge-shaped groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower edges of both the left and right ends of the T-shaped plate are provided with chamfered corners;

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic component includes a flat-head rod and a first spring. The bottom of the cross groove is fixedly connected to a flat-head rod that is symmetrically distributed on the left and right. The same T-shaped plate is sleeved on the outer side of the flat-head rod, and the top of each flat-head rod is provided with a first spring located inside the T-shaped plate.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, by simultaneously pressing the wedge-shaped pressure rods on both sides, the lower end of the wedge-shaped pressure rod enters the wedge-shaped groove at the top of the inclined slide rod, causing the inclined slide rod to move simultaneously to the opposite side. The opposite end of the inclined slide rod separates from the T-shaped plate. Releasing the wedge-shaped pressure rod releases the locking limit of the inclined slide rod on the T-shaped plate. The third spring resets the wedge-shaped pressure rod, and the first spring then restores its deformation, causing the T-shaped plate and the hanging lugs to extend out of the cross groove. The hanging lugs are then fitted onto the outside of the nail, allowing the picture frame to be suspended below the nail. Pressing the T-shaped plate causes it to move relative to the upper frame. The T-shaped plate slowly enters the cross groove and compresses the first spring. During this process, the left and right ends of the T-shaped plate simultaneously contact the opposite end of the slanted slide bar, causing the slanted slide bar to move to the opposite side and compress the second spring until the two ends of the T-shaped plate separate from the opposite end of the slanted slide bar. The second spring then restores its deformation, causing the slanted slide bar to slide to the opposite end, placing the slanted slide bar at the top of the T-shaped plate, thereby locking and limiting the T-shaped plate. At this point, the T-shaped plate, hanging ears, and nails are all hidden in the cross groove, thus concealing the hanging ears and nails. There are no exposed structures on the outer surface of the frame, enhancing its aesthetics. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-5 This invention discloses a wall-mounted picture frame structure with a hidden hook. The picture frame 1 includes an upper frame 2. The upper frame 2 has a cross groove 3 at its top that communicates with the rear side. The bottom of the cross groove 3 has elastic components 4 that are symmetrically distributed. The outer side of the elastic components 4 has a T-shaped plate 5 that is the same and adapted to the cross groove 3. The top of the T-shaped plate 5 is fixedly connected to a hanging ear 6 that is symmetrically distributed. The interior of the upper frame 2 has locking core components 7 that are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cross groove 3. The opposite ends of the locking core components 7 extend into the cross groove 3 and contact and adapt to the left and right ends of the T-shaped plate 5 respectively. The top of the upper frame 2 has unlocking components 8 that are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cross groove 3 and extend into it. The lower end of the unlocking components 8 is adapted to the locking core components 7.

[0023] The unlocking component 8 includes a wedge-shaped pressure rod 801 and a third spring 802. The top of the upper frame 2 is slidably connected with the wedge-shaped pressure rod 801 located on both sides of the cross groove 3 and symmetrically distributed and extending into it. The lower ends of the wedge-shaped pressure rod 801 are respectively adapted to the wedge-shaped groove 703. The outer side of the wedge-shaped pressure rod 801 is fitted with a third spring 802 located inside the upper frame 2.

[0024] The locking core assembly 7 includes a slanted slide rod 701, a second spring 702, and a wedge groove 703. The upper frame 2 is slidably connected to the slanted slide rod 701 located on both sides of the cross groove 3 and symmetrically distributed. The opposite ends of the slanted slide rod 701 extend into the cross groove 3 and respectively contact and fit with the left and right ends of the T-shaped plate 5. The opposite ends of the slanted slide rod 701 are provided with a second spring 702 located inside the upper frame 2. The top of the slanted slide rod 701 is provided with a wedge groove 703.

[0025] The lower edges of both ends of the T-shaped plate 5 are chamfered.

[0026] The elastic component 4 includes a flat-head rod 401 and a first spring 402. The bottom of the cross groove 3 is fixedly connected to the flat-head rod 401 which is symmetrically distributed on the left and right. The same T-shaped plate 5 is sleeved on the outside of the flat-head rod 401. The top of the flat-head rod 401 is provided with a first spring 402 located inside the T-shaped plate 5.

[0027] Simultaneously press the wedge-shaped pressure rods 801 on both sides, causing the lower end of the wedge-shaped pressure rod 801 to enter the wedge-shaped groove 703 at the top of the inclined slide rod 701. This causes the inclined slide rod 701 to move simultaneously to the opposite side, separating the opposite end of the inclined slide rod 701 from the T-shaped plate 5. Releasing the wedge-shaped pressure rod 801 releases the locking limit of the inclined slide rod 701 on the T-shaped plate 5. The third spring 802 resets the wedge-shaped pressure rod 801, and the first spring 402 then restores its deformation, causing the T-shaped plate 5 and the hanging lug 6 to extend out of the cross groove 3. The hanging lug 6 is then placed on the outside of the nail, allowing the picture frame 1 to be suspended below the nail. Pressing the T-shaped plate 5 causes it to move relative to the upper frame 2, and the T-shaped plate 5 slowly moves forward. The first spring 402 is compressed as the T-shaped plate 5 is inserted into the cross groove 3. During this process, the left and right ends of the T-shaped plate 5 simultaneously contact the opposite end of the inclined slide rod 701, causing the inclined slide rod 701 to move to the opposite side and compress the second spring 702 until the two ends of the T-shaped plate 5 separate from the opposite end of the inclined slide rod 701. The second spring 702 restores its deformation, causing the inclined slide rod 701 to slide to the opposite end, so that the inclined slide rod 701 is at the top of the T-shaped plate 5, thereby locking and limiting the T-shaped plate 5. At this time, the T-shaped plate 5, the hanging ear 6, and the nail are all hidden in the cross groove 3, thus hiding the hanging ear 6 and the nail. There are no exposed structures on the outer surface of the picture frame 1, improving the aesthetics of the picture frame 1.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] Step 1: Press the wedge-head pressure rods 801 on both sides simultaneously, so that the lower end of the wedge-head pressure rod 801 enters the wedge-shaped groove 703 at the top of the inclined slide rod 701. Then, the inclined slide rod 701 moves to the opposite side at the same time, and the opposite end of the inclined slide rod 701 separates from the T-shaped plate 5. Release the wedge-head pressure rod 801, thereby releasing the locking limit of the inclined slide rod 701 on the T-shaped plate 5. Release the wedge-head pressure rod 801, and the third spring 802 resets the wedge-head pressure rod 801. The first spring 402 then restores its deformation, so that the T-shaped plate 5 and the hanging lug 6 extend out of the cross groove 3.

[0030] Step 2: Place the hanging lugs 6 on the outside of the nails to hang the picture frame 1 below the nails;

[0031] Step 3: Press the T-shaped plate 5 to make it move relative to the upper frame 2. The T-shaped plate 5 slowly enters the cross groove 3 and compresses the first spring 402. During this process, the left and right ends of the T-shaped plate 5 simultaneously contact the opposite end of the inclined slide rod 701, which then moves the inclined slide rod 701 to the opposite side and compresses the second spring 702 until the two ends of the T-shaped plate 5 separate from the opposite end of the inclined slide rod 701. The second spring 702 restores its deformation and slides the inclined slide rod 701 to the opposite end, so that the inclined slide rod 701 is at the top of the T-shaped plate 5, thereby locking and limiting the T-shaped plate 5. At this time, the T-shaped plate 5, the hanging ear 6 and the nail are all hidden in the cross groove 3, which can hide the hanging ear 6 and the nail. There is no exposed structure on the outer surface of the picture frame 1, which improves the aesthetics of the picture frame 1.
