Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photo frame technology, and in particular to a manually rotating photo frame. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese patent document CN116236049A discloses a novel photo album, comprising an album box, a base, movable photo frames, a movable cover, and a rocker arm. Photos are affixed to both sides of the movable photo frames. The album box contains a partition that divides the internal storage space into two equal photo frame storage areas, where the movable photo frames are housed. By manipulating the rocker arm, the album box is rotated, causing the movable photo frames stored inside to rotate vertically. Photos displayed through the photo display window change sequentially. Reversing the rotation of the album box reverses the photo display order. Without complex mechanical mechanisms, the album box is rotated vertically via the rocker arm, achieving sequential photo display. It boasts a large photo storage capacity, a small size that saves space, requires no electricity, and is aesthetically pleasing, fun, and practical. It possesses advantages not found in traditional book-style photo albums, photo frames and photo stands, common mechanical photo albums, and electronic photo albums, representing a significant innovation in photo album design.
[0003] The aforementioned novel photo album uses a joystick-driven flipping method, which is laborious and ergonomic, directly affecting the ease and comfort of operation. Therefore, a manually rotating photo frame is proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a manually rotating photo frame, including a mounting frame 1, a toggle mechanism, and a photo mounting base 9. A horizontal connecting shaft 3 is rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting frame 1. Two sets of annular mounting discs 4, arranged left and right, are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the horizontal connecting shaft 3. Mounting sockets 5 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the annular mounting discs 4. The annular mounting discs 4 are in contact with the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. LED beads 11 are provided on the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. Two sets of photo-dropping rubber blocks 8, arranged left and right, are fixedly mounted on the top inner side of the mounting frame 1. A light-shielding screen 2 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the mounting frame 1. The toggle mechanism is located on the mounting frame 1 and the horizontal connecting shaft 3. The toggle mechanism includes a toggle rod 6 and an external toggle knob 7. The photo mounting base 9 is located on the two sets of mounting sockets 5. The photo mounting base 9 includes a photo mounting plate 91 and a photo mounting plate mounting pin 92.
[0022] The mounting frame 1 is made of solid wood. A slot is provided on the right side of the mounting frame 1. One end of the lever 6 passes through the slot and is fixedly connected to the horizontal connecting shaft 3. The other end of the lever 6 is fixedly connected to the external lever knob 7. Two sets of mounting holes are provided on the top inner side of the mounting frame 1, which are distributed on the left and right. LED beads 11 are fixedly installed in the mounting holes. A lighting switch button 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 1. The lighting switch button 10 is electrically connected to the two sets of LED beads 11. The annular mounting plate 4 and the mounting socket 5 are integrally formed structures. Both the annular mounting plate 4 and the mounting socket 5 are made of plastic.
[0023] Two sets of photo mounting pins 92 are fixedly installed on both sides of the photo mounting plate 91. A square slot is provided on the mounting socket 5, and the photo mounting pins 92 are inserted into the square slot. Both the photo mounting pins 92 and the photo mounting plate 91 are made of elastic material. A photo is pasted onto the photo mounting plate 91, and then the photo mounting pins 92 on the photo mounting plate 91 are engaged with the appropriate mounting socket 5. When changing a photo, the external toggle knob 7 is rotated by hand. The external toggle knob 7 drives the rotation of the transverse shaft 3 through the toggle lever 6, which in turn drives the rotation of the annular mounting plate 4. Subsequently, the photo mounting plate 91 is flipped forward due to its elasticity. The photo frame automatically passes over the rubber stop 8 that falls over the photo mounting plate 91 below, and uses a rotary knob to rotate the entire photo mounting base 9 smoothly. The operation is intuitive, effortless, and ergonomic. Compared with a joystick drive, it significantly improves the convenience and comfort of operation. At the same time, the frame structure is sturdy and stable, and the photo mounting base 9 is easy to install and remove, making it convenient to paste or replace different photos on its surface, which improves the ease of use of the structure. During use, top lighting can also be provided to enhance the display effect. These designs together achieve convenient and efficient photo rotation display, stable and reliable long-term use, and a good visual presentation experience.
[0024] Working principle: A photo is pasted onto the photo mounting plate 91, and then the photo mounting pin 92 on the photo mounting plate 91 is locked into the appropriate mounting socket 5. When the photo needs to be replaced, the external toggle knob 7 is rotated by hand. The external toggle knob 7 drives the rotation of the horizontal shaft 3 through the toggle lever 6, which in turn drives the rotation of the annular mounting plate 4. Then, the photo mounting plate 91 is flipped forward. During the process, due to its own elasticity, it automatically passes over the photo falling rubber stop 8 and covers the front of the photo mounting plate 91 below.
[0025] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model 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 utility model.
