Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of puzzle support technology, specifically a support bracket for a three-dimensional puzzle. Background Technology

[0002] In the world of jigsaw puzzles, 3D puzzles are popular among consumers due to their unique spatial shapes and challenging assembly. Irregular 3D puzzles, such as those shaped like crowns, are particularly favored by collectors and enthusiasts for their exquisite designs and artistic appeal. However, once assembled, these irregular 3D puzzles present challenges in terms of preservation and storage.

[0003] In existing technologies, because irregularly shaped puzzle pieces lack stable internal support after assembly, and their irregular shape and uneven center of gravity make them difficult to place stably on a flat surface. Furthermore, the assembled 3D puzzle pieces rely solely on friction at the joints to maintain their shape, resulting in low overall strength. Even slight collisions or shaking can cause the joints to loosen or even disintegrate, significantly impacting the puzzle's display quality and lifespan.

[0004] Currently, while some support devices exist for standard 3D puzzles, most of these devices employ a generic design and cannot adapt to irregularly shaped puzzle structures. Most lack sufficient support area to withstand the overall weight of the puzzle; others use simple fixing methods, relying solely on external clamps or bottom supports, failing to effectively constrain critical areas such as the top and middle of the puzzle, making it prone to deformation or tipping during placement. Furthermore, the assembly and disassembly of existing support devices are often complex, and their fit with the puzzle is poor, affecting not only the puzzle's aesthetics but also failing to provide long-term stable protection. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems in related technologies, this utility model provides a support bracket for three-dimensional puzzles. This device solves the problem that the support bracket cannot support and fix the three-dimensional puzzle.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the following technical solutions are provided:

[0007] The present invention provides a support bracket for a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, comprising a base plate and a connecting plate. A support member is provided between the base plate and the connecting plate, the lower part of the support member being inserted into the base plate and the upper part of the support member being inserted into the connecting plate. A plurality of first fixing members for fixing the bottom of the jigsaw puzzle are provided at the upper edge of the base plate, and a second fixing member for fixing the top of the jigsaw puzzle is provided on the connecting plate.

[0008] The above solution utilizes a support structure consisting of a lower insertable base plate and an upper insertable connecting plate. This provides a three-dimensional support frame for the puzzle from bottom to top, solving the problem of insufficient overall support when irregular puzzle pieces are assembled. The insertable design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, facilitating flexible operation for display and storage. The first fixing component on the base plate and the second fixing component on the connecting plate respectively secure the bottom and top of the puzzle, preventing it from easily loosening and falling apart, significantly improving the stability of the puzzle after placement. This solves the problem of existing support frames being unable to support and secure three-dimensional puzzles.

[0009] The base plate has a number of evenly spaced insertion slots on its outer circumferential surface. The bottom of the support member has a number of insertion parts that are adapted to the insertion slots. The insertion parts are inserted into the insertion slots, and the support member is fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0010] The above solution uses the insertion slots and insertion parts to fix the support to the base plate. The insertion structure ensures that the support is installed in the correct position on the base plate, avoiding instability caused by tilting or shifting of the support. This ensures the verticality and load-bearing capacity of the entire support bracket, providing more reliable support for the puzzle. The evenly distributed insertion slots also allow the support to be evenly stressed on the base plate, further enhancing the overall stability of the support structure.

[0011] A plurality of first grooves are evenly formed on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting plate. The width of the first groove is slightly greater than the thickness of the support member. A second groove that matches the first groove is formed on the inner wall surface of the upper part of the support member. The height of the second groove is slightly greater than the thickness of the connecting plate. The second groove is inserted into the first groove, and the support member is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0012] In the above solution, the first groove and the second groove are designed such that the width of the first groove is slightly greater than the thickness of the support member and the height of the second groove is slightly greater than the thickness of the connecting plate. This ensures a tight connection between the support member and the connecting plate, making it easy for users to quickly align and insert the components. This structure enables the upper part of the support member to form a stable fit with the connecting plate, ensuring the top structure of the support bracket is solid and forming a complete support system with the bottom support structure. This effectively prevents the top of the puzzle from deforming or tipping over due to insufficient support, thus improving the overall support effect of the support device on the puzzle.

[0013] The first fixing member is located between two adjacent insertion slots. The first fixing member includes a lower fixing piece and an upper fixing piece. One end of the lower fixing piece is provided with a first bending piece. The upper fixing piece is provided with a first through hole adapted to the first bending piece. The end of the upper fixing piece away from the first through hole is provided with a second bending piece. The lower fixing piece is provided with a second through hole adapted to the second bending piece. The base plate is provided with a third through hole adapted to the first bending piece. The lower fixing piece and the upper fixing piece are both provided with a third bending piece at the end away from the center of the base plate.

[0014] In the above solution, the first fixing component is connected to the base plate through the cooperation of the first bent piece with the first through hole, the second bent piece with the second through hole, and the first bent piece with the third through hole of the base plate. This allows the first fixing component to be firmly installed on the base plate and not easily loosened. The third bent piece is fixed to the bottom edge of the puzzle piece, fixing the bottom of the puzzle piece from multiple positions, effectively preventing the puzzle piece from shifting during placement or movement, and further improving the stability of the puzzle piece.

[0015] The second fixing member includes a first mounting member, a second mounting member, and a third mounting member. The first mounting member is located on the connecting plate and has a third groove corresponding to the first groove. The bent portion of the first mounting member is adapted to the first hole of the second mounting member. The second mounting member is fixedly mounted on the first mounting member. A plurality of fourth bent pieces are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the second mounting member. The upper and lower surfaces of the third mounting member are provided with fifth bent pieces. The fifth bent piece on the lower surface of the third mounting member is adapted to the second hole of the second mounting member. The third mounting member is fixedly mounted on the second mounting member.

[0016] In the above solution, the second fixing member is used, and the third groove corresponds to the first groove. The first mounting member is placed on the connecting plate, and the first mounting member is fixed by the support member. The bent part of the first mounting member is adapted to the first hole of the second mounting member, and the fifth bent piece on the lower end face of the third mounting member is adapted to the second hole of the second mounting member, so that the first, second, and third mounting members are fixedly connected. The fourth and fifth bent pieces can be fixed to the inner wall or edge of the top of the puzzle from different angles and positions, avoiding deformation or detachment of the top of the puzzle due to lack of effective fixation, and improving the stability of the top of the puzzle.

[0017] The outer wall of the support is arc-shaped and matches the inner wall of the puzzle.

[0018] The above solution increases the contact area between the support and the puzzle pieces by incorporating support components, allowing the supporting force to be distributed more evenly across the puzzle pieces. This prevents excessive localized stress that could cause deformation or damage to the puzzle pieces. Furthermore, it enhances the overall structural stability of the puzzle, reducing the likelihood of loosening due to shaking during placement and transportation, thus better protecting the integrity of the puzzle.

[0019] Both the first and second fasteners are metal fasteners.

[0020] The above solution facilitates the bending of the second, third, fourth, and fifth bending pieces by using metal fasteners.

[0021] The above solution has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. The support bracket for a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle of this utility model provides a three-dimensional support bracket for the puzzle from bottom to top through the setting of the support component, which adopts a combination structure of a lower insert base plate and an upper insert connecting plate. This solves the problem of lack of overall support when irregular puzzle pieces are assembled. Moreover, the insert design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, making it convenient for users to operate flexibly when displaying and storing the puzzle. The first fixing component on the base plate and the second fixing component on the connecting plate can fix the bottom and top of the puzzle respectively, preventing the puzzle from easily loosening and falling apart, and significantly improving the stability of the puzzle after it is placed.

[0023] 2. Through the setting of the first fixing component, the first bent piece and the first through hole, the second bent piece and the second through hole, and the first bent piece and the third through hole of the base plate are used to connect the first fixing component to the base plate, so that the first fixing component can be firmly installed on the base plate and is not easy to loosen; the third bent piece is fixed to the bottom edge of the puzzle, and the bottom of the puzzle is fixed from multiple positions, which effectively prevents the puzzle from shifting during placement or movement, and further improves the stability of the puzzle.

[0024] 3. With the second fixing component, the third groove corresponds to the first groove, allowing the first mounting component to be placed on the connecting plate. The first mounting component is then fixed by the support component. The bent portion of the first mounting component mates with the first hole of the second mounting component, and the fifth bent piece on the lower end face of the third mounting component mates with the second hole of the second mounting component, thus securing the first, second, and third mounting components together. The fourth and fifth bent pieces can be fixed to the inner wall or edge of the puzzle top from different angles and positions, preventing deformation or detachment of the puzzle top due to lack of effective fixation, and improving the stability of the puzzle top.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] 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.

[0036] In specific embodiment 1, such as Figures 1-8As shown, the support bracket for a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle of this utility model includes a base plate 1 and a connecting plate 2. A support member 3 is provided between the base plate 1 and the connecting plate 2. The lower part of the support member 3 is inserted into the base plate 1, and the upper part of the support member 3 is inserted into the connecting plate 2. The support member 3 adopts a combination structure in which the lower part is inserted into the base plate 1 and the upper part is inserted into the connecting plate 2, thereby providing a three-dimensional support bracket for the jigsaw puzzle from bottom to top. This solves the problem of lack of overall support when irregular jigsaw puzzles are assembled. Moreover, the insertion design can realize quick assembly and disassembly, which is convenient for users to operate flexibly when displaying and storing.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of insertion slots 101 are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the base plate 1. The bottom of the support member 3 is provided with a plurality of insertion parts 301 that are adapted to the insertion slots 101. The insertion parts 301 are inserted into the insertion slots 101 for fixed connection between the support member 3 and the base plate 1. The insertion structure can ensure that the installation position of the support member 3 on the base plate 1 is accurate, avoiding the problem of unstable support caused by tilting or displacement of the support member 3, thereby ensuring the verticality and load-bearing capacity of the entire support bracket, providing more reliable support for the puzzle. The evenly distributed insertion slots 101 can make the support member 3 bear force evenly on the base plate 1, further enhancing the overall stability of the support structure.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, several first grooves 201 are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting plate 2. The width of the first grooves 201 is slightly larger than the thickness of the support member 3. A second groove 302 that matches the first grooves 201 is distributed on the inner wall of the upper part of the support member 3. The height of the second groove 302 is slightly larger than the thickness of the connecting plate 2. The second groove 302 is inserted into the first groove 201, so that the support member 3 and the connecting plate 2 are tightly connected, which makes it easy for the user to quickly align and complete the insertion. This structure enables the upper part of the support member 3 to form a stable fit with the connecting plate 2, ensuring that the top structure of the support bracket is firm and forms a complete support system with the bottom support structure. This effectively prevents the top of the puzzle from deforming or tipping over due to insufficient support, and improves the support effect of the entire support device on the puzzle.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the support member 3 is arc-shaped and matches the inner wall of the puzzle piece, increasing the contact area between the support member 3 and the puzzle piece. This allows the supporting force to be transmitted more evenly to the puzzle piece, preventing excessive local stress that could cause deformation or damage. Furthermore, it enhances the overall stability of the puzzle piece, reducing the possibility of loosening due to shaking during placement and transportation, thus better protecting the integrity of the puzzle piece.

[0040] Several first fasteners for securing the bottom of the puzzle are provided at the upper edge of the base plate 1, and second fasteners for securing the top of the puzzle are provided on the connecting plate 2. The first fasteners on the base plate 1 and the second fasteners on the connecting plate 2 can secure the bottom and top of the puzzle respectively, preventing the puzzle from easily loosening and falling apart, and significantly improving the stability of the puzzle after it is placed.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the first fixing member is located between two adjacent insertion slots 101. The first fixing member includes a lower fixing piece 4 and an upper fixing piece 5. One end of the lower fixing piece 4 is provided with a first bending piece 401. The upper fixing piece 5 is provided with a first through hole 501 that matches the first bending piece 401. The end of the upper fixing piece 5 away from the first through hole 501 is provided with a second bending piece 502. The lower fixing piece 4 is provided with a second through hole 402 that matches the second bending piece 502. The base plate 1 is provided with a third through hole that matches the first bending piece 401. The lower fixing piece 4 and the upper fixing piece 5 are both provided with a third bending piece 403 at the ends away from the center of the base plate 1. The first fixing piece is connected to the base plate 1 by the cooperation of the first bending piece 401 with the first through hole 501, the second bending piece 502 with the second through hole 402, and the first bending piece 401 with the third through hole of the base plate 1, so that the first fixing piece can be firmly installed on the base plate 1 and is not easy to loosen; the third bending piece 403 is fixed to the bottom edge of the puzzle, and the bottom of the puzzle is fixed from multiple positions, effectively preventing the puzzle from shifting during placement or movement, and further improving the stability of the puzzle.

[0042] like Figures 5-8As shown, the second fixing member includes a first mounting member 6, a second mounting member 7, and a third mounting member 8. The first mounting member 6 is located on the connecting plate 2. The first mounting member 6 is provided with a third groove corresponding to the first groove 201. The bent portion 601 of the first mounting member 6 is adapted to the first hole 701 of the second mounting member 7. The second mounting member 7 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting member 6. Several fourth bent pieces 702 are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the second mounting member 7. The upper and lower end surfaces of the third mounting member 8 are provided with fifth bent pieces 801. The fifth bent piece 801 on the lower end surface of the third mounting member 8 is adapted to the second hole 703 of the second mounting member 7. The third mounting member 8 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting member 7. The third groove corresponds to the first groove 201. The first mounting piece 6 is placed on the connecting plate 2 and fixed by the support piece 3. The bent part 601 of the first mounting piece 6 is adapted to the first hole 701 of the second mounting piece 7, and the fifth bent piece 801 on the lower end face of the third mounting piece 8 is adapted to the second hole 703 of the second mounting piece 7, so that the first mounting piece 6, the second mounting piece 7 and the third mounting piece 8 are fixedly connected. The fourth bent piece 702 and the fifth bent piece 801 can be fixed to the inner wall or edge of the top of the puzzle from different angles and positions, avoiding the deformation or falling off of the top of the puzzle due to lack of effective fixation, and improving the stability of the top of the puzzle.

[0043] In specific embodiment 2, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the first fixing member and the second fixing member in this embodiment are both metal fixing members, which facilitates bending the first bending piece 401, the second bending piece 502, the third bending piece 403, the fourth bending piece 702 and the fifth bending piece 801.

[0049] S5: Insert the remaining four support members 3 between the base plate 1 and the connecting plate 2; that is, as shown in the figure. Figure 7 As shown;

[0050] S6: Insert the fifth bent piece 801 on the lower end face of the third mounting piece 8 into the second hole 703 of the second mounting piece 7 to complete the installation of the support bracket; Figure 8 As shown.

[0051] Finally, the metal crown puzzle is placed on the support bracket. The third bent piece 403 is used to fix the bottom edge of the metal crown puzzle, and the fourth bent piece 702 and the fifth bent piece 801 are used to fix the top of the metal crown puzzle, thus completing the fixation of the metal crown puzzle.

[0052] In the above embodiments, a metal crown puzzle is used as an example, but it is not limited to puzzles made of metal or crown shapes, and is applicable to any three-dimensional puzzle in the prior art.
