Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of home decoration products, specifically a floor-standing rotating double-layer lantern. Background Technology

[0002] Lanterns, also known as decorative lanterns, are an important part of traditional Chinese culture. They are not only used for illumination but also carry profound historical significance and rich cultural connotations. Through the inheritance and development of lantern artisans throughout history, lanterns have been endowed with a rich variety of styles. Lanterns on the market are mainly divided into two categories: suspended lanterns and floor-standing fixed lanterns. While floor-standing fixed lanterns are more convenient to place on the ground, eliminating the need for complex installation, they have significant drawbacks. Floor-standing lanterns are typically placed directly on the ground or a flat surface. Once this placement is determined, the lantern remains completely still. This means that no matter how exquisite or dazzling the design, the lack of any dynamic change can easily lead to visual fatigue after prolonged viewing. Especially in occasions requiring a lively and festive atmosphere, these static lanterns fail to satisfy people's pursuit of dynamic aesthetics and interactive experiences. This results in lanterns existing merely as decorative items, with limited functionality, poor interactivity, and restricted usage. Utility Model Content

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A floor-standing rotating double-layer lantern includes an upper cage 2 and a lower cage 3. The lower part of the upper cage 2 and the upper part of the lower cage 3 are nested together and connected as a whole in the middle. A handle 1 is folded and installed on the upper cage 2. A rotating mechanism 6 is connected to the bottom of the lower cage 3. The rotating mechanism 6 drives the upper cage 2 and the lower cage 3 to rotate. The rotating mechanism 6 includes a mounting base 61. The mounting base 61 has a hollow mounting cavity 611. A turntable 62 is covered and connected to the top of the mounting cavity 611. There is a gap between the turntable 62 and the mounting base 61. The rotating mechanism 6 also includes a rotating shaft 63 built into the mounting cavity 611. The rotating shaft 63 extends upward and is installed at the bottom of the turntable 62. A drive motor 64 drives the rotating shaft 63 to rotate, which drives the cage to rotate through the turntable 62. Several rollers 7 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating shaft 63 in the mounting cavity 611. The turntable 62 is pressure-connected to the top of the rollers 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the lantern includes an upper cage and a lower cage that are nested together. The lower part of the upper cage is nested with the upper part of the lower cage and connected as a single unit in the middle. This nesting method ensures the stability of the double-layer structure, providing a reliable and safe foundation for subsequent rotational movement. Furthermore, a foldable handle is installed on the upper cage. When the lantern needs to be moved or hung, the handle can be pulled up to unfold it. When the lantern needs to be rotated, the handle can be pushed down to fold it away for storage. This design maximizes space utilization and is convenient for user operation.

[0028] It should be noted that the rotating mechanism is installed at the bottom of the lower cage. The rotating mechanism includes a mounting base standing on the ground or a flat surface, and a turntable covering and connected to the receiving cavity of the mounting base. An opening is left between the turntable and the mounting base to provide sufficient space for the turntable's rotation, reducing mutual friction and ensuring smooth and stable rotation. Furthermore, the rotating mechanism also includes a rotating shaft installed in the mounting cavity, which extends and connects to the bottom of the turntable. When the lantern needs to rotate, the built-in drive motor starts working, and this power is transmitted through the rotating shaft, synchronously driving the turntable to rotate, thus realizing the lantern's rotational movement. This breaks through the static limitations of traditional lanterns and greatly enhances the lantern's aesthetic appeal and dynamism.

[0029] To ensure the lantern rotates smoothly, several rollers are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating shaft within the mounting cavity, and the turntable rests on the rotating surface of these rollers. The rollers not only provide additional support for the turntable, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the rotating mechanism, but also effectively reduce frictional resistance during the turntable's rotation. This allows the turntable to smoothly bear pressure and rotate on top of the rollers, enhancing the stability and reliability of the rotating mechanism.

[0030] A guide seat 8 is provided in the center of the mounting cavity 611. A rotating groove is formed in the recessed guide seat 8, and the rotating shaft 63 is rotatably fitted into the rotating groove. By utilizing the rotating groove formed by the recessed guide seat, the rotating shaft can be rotatably fitted into the rotating groove, providing additional radial support and guidance for the rotating shaft. This effectively limits the shaking and deviation of the rotating shaft, ensuring the concentricity of the rotating shaft during rotation. When the drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft can rotate accurately and smoothly, thereby making the rotation of the entire turntable and lantern more stable and smooth, and extending the service life of the rotating mechanism.

[0031] A connecting hole is provided on one side of the guide seat 8, and the main shaft of the drive motor 64 extends into the connecting hole and connects with the rotating shaft 63. In order to adapt to the connection between the drive motor and the rotating shaft, a connecting hole is provided on one side of the guide seat, and the main shaft of the drive motor extends into the connecting hole and connects with the rotating shaft. The drive motor can be precisely installed and connected to the rotating shaft, reducing intermediate transmission links, making power transmission more direct and efficient, with a compact structure and simplified assembly process of parts.

[0032] A control knob 9 is provided on the protruding side wall of the mounting base 61, and the control knob 9 is electrically connected to the drive motor 64. The control knob is located on the side wall of the mounting base and is electrically connected to the drive motor. Users can rotate or press the control knob to start or stop the drive motor, adjust its rotation speed, or reverse its direction. This makes operation more intuitive and convenient, eliminating the need for an additional controller and enhancing the product's interactivity.

[0033] The upper cage 2 includes a first ring frame 21, a second ring frame 22 and a third ring frame 23 from top to bottom. The diameter of the second ring frame 22 is larger than the diameter of the first ring frame 21 and the diameter of the third ring frame 23. A top plate 25 is provided inside the first ring frame 21. Hinge seats 26 are symmetrically provided on the top plate 25, and the handle 1 is hinged to the hinge seat 26.

[0034] Several upper support frames 24 are vertically and horizontally arranged between the first ring frame 21, the second ring frame 22 and the third ring frame 23, and the upper support frames 24 connect the first ring frame 21, the second ring frame 22 and the third ring frame 23 into one unit.

[0035] In this embodiment, the upper cage structure includes a first ring frame, a second ring frame, and a third ring frame from top to bottom, with the second ring frame having the longest diameter. This forms a cage frame with a specific shape, enhancing the unique curves and layering of the upper cage and improving the lantern's aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, several upper support frames are evenly arranged vertically between the three ring frames. These upper support frames are welded, riveted, or connected in other ways to firmly connect the three ring frames into a single, robust, and complete upper cage frame. This significantly improves the overall rigidity and strength of the upper cage, ensuring it can withstand external pressure without easily deforming. Simultaneously, the specific frame shape provides a good adhesion base for the subsequent weaving of the netting.

[0036] Secondly, a top plate is set inside the first ring frame, and the handle is hinged through a hinge seat installed on the top plate. The handle can swing around the hinge point of the hinge seat to realize the upward or downward folding operation of the handle itself, maintaining the overall aesthetics of the lantern.

[0037] The lower cage 3 includes a fourth ring frame 31, a fifth ring frame 32 and a sixth ring frame 33 from top to bottom. The diameter of the fifth ring frame 32 is larger than the diameter of the fourth ring frame 31 and the diameter of the sixth ring frame 33. An anti-slip pad 4 is installed at the bottom of the sixth ring frame 33.

[0038] Several lower support frames 34 are vertically and horizontally arranged between the fourth ring frame 31, the fifth ring frame 32 and the sixth ring frame 33, and the lower support frames 34 connect the fourth ring frame 31, the fifth ring frame 32 and the sixth ring frame 33 into one unit.

[0039] In this embodiment, the lower cage structure includes a fourth, fifth, and sixth ring frame from top to bottom, with the fifth ring frame having the longest diameter. This forms a cage frame with a specific shape, enhancing the unique curves and layering of the lower cage and improving the lantern's aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, several lower support frames are evenly arranged vertically between the three ring frames. These support frames are welded, riveted, or connected in other ways to firmly connect the three ring frames into a single, robust, and complete lower cage frame. This significantly improves the overall rigidity and strength of the lower cage, ensuring it can withstand external pressure without easily deforming. Simultaneously, the specific frame shape provides a good adhesion base for the subsequent weaving of the mesh.

[0040] Secondly, an anti-slip pad is installed at the bottom of the sixth ring frame to contact the turntable. Due to the friction between the anti-slip pad and the turntable, the upper and lower cages can be stably supported on the rotating turntable, and the rotation of the turntable can effectively drive the entire lantern to rotate synchronously, improving the safety of the lantern and ensuring the stable rotation of the lantern.

[0041] The surfaces of the upper cage 2 and the lower cage 3 are covered with woven mesh 5.

[0042] The top of the upper cage 2 is provided with a solar panel 51, which is connected to a lamp installed inside the upper cage.

[0043] As a decorative and protective layer for the lantern's exterior, after the upper and lower cage frames are constructed, a woven mesh is applied to their surface. This mesh can be made from various materials such as silk threads, plastic fibers, and rattan. It not only serves as decoration, creating specific patterns and textures to enhance the lantern's artistry and decorative effect, but also softly diffuses the internal light, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Furthermore, it provides some physical protection for the lantern's internal structure and the lighting fixtures.

[0044] In summary: When the user turns on the drive motor, the drive motor drives the rotating shaft built into the mounting cavity to rotate via its main shaft. The rotating shaft extends upwards and connects to the bottom of the turntable, thereby causing the turntable to rotate as well. The entire double-layer lantern body is stably supported on the top of the turntable by anti-slip pads installed on the sixth ring frame at the bottom of the lower cage. The anti-slip pads ensure sufficient friction between the lantern and the turntable, allowing the rotation of the turntable to be efficiently transmitted to the lantern body, thus achieving smooth and continuous rotation of the entire double-layer lantern.

[0045] Secondly, the rollers installed within the mounting cavity, positioned below the turntable, provide solid and low-friction support, ensuring smooth rotation and load-bearing capacity. Simultaneously, the rotating groove within the guide seat precisely positions and guides the rotating shaft, further guaranteeing the stability of the lantern's rotation. Users can conveniently control the start / stop and speed of the drive motor via the control knob on the side wall of the mounting seat, enabling real-time interactive adjustment of the lantern's rotation effect.

[0046] In the lantern's main structure, both the upper and lower cages are constructed with multi-ring frames and vertical support structures to form a sturdy skeleton. The handle on the upper cage and the anti-slip pad at the bottom of the lower cage, in particular, balance portability and functionality. The woven mesh covering not only provides rich visual appeal and soft lighting but also protects the internal structure, thus allowing for widespread use.

[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
