Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photo frame technology, and in particular relates to a photo frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of picture frames, existing picture frame structures typically use rotatable connectors to link the base plate and the frame. For example, patent document No. 201320457478.8 discloses a fastener for connecting to the back panel of a picture frame, including a rotating part and a fixing part connected to the picture frame. One end of the rotating part is connected to the fixing part, and the other end is connected to a fixing base for fixing the picture frame. The rotating part is formed by the interlocking of a concave rotating surface and a convex rotating surface. A method for manufacturing the aforementioned fastener for connecting to the back panel of the picture frame is also provided. This utility model has a simple and reasonable structure, a high degree of mechanization, is easy to use, has good installation consistency, and high production efficiency, effectively balancing the requirements of a secure connection and flexible rotation.

[0003] However, since the fastener is rotatable and its rotating end is simply attached to the picture frame, if the user moves a large picture frame and applies an upward lifting force to the picture frame with their hand, the rotating end of the fastener can easily detach from the surface of the picture frame. Combined with the weight of the fastener itself, the fastener can easily rotate downward and detach from the picture frame, thus losing its function of fixing the bottom plate of the picture frame.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a connector that makes it easier for users to move large picture frames. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the base is perpendicular to the clearance portion.

[0010] Furthermore, the base and the bent portion are integrally formed.

[0011] This utility model also provides a picture frame, including the connector as described above, a frame with a mounting groove, and a base plate disposed in the mounting groove, wherein the connector is used to connect the base plate and the frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame includes a rectangular border, and at least one side of the rectangular border has an opening.

[0024] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0025] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0026] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] Furthermore, 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 technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In some descriptions of utility models, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 2 This embodiment provides a connector 1, which includes a base 11 with a mounting hole 111 and a bent portion 12. The bent portion 12 is connected to the base 11 and has a U-shaped structure.

[0030] Understandably, the connector 1 can fix the base 11 to the external object through the mounting hole 111, and the U-shaped bent part 12 can engage with the frame 21 of the external object.

[0031] Specifically, the bending portion 12 includes an engaging portion 121 and a yielding portion 122, with the engaging portion 121 located on the side of the yielding portion 122 away from the base 11.

[0032] The engaging part 121 is designed as a straight line, and the yielding part 122 is designed as a figure-7. The engaging part 121 and the yielding part 122 are combined to form a figure-eight structure.

[0033] Preferably, the base 11 is perpendicular to the clearance portion 122, and the base 11 and the engaging portion 121 can be fixed on different objects to achieve the function of connecting different objects.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base 11 and the bent portion 12 are integrally formed, which facilitates production and processing.

[0035] The connector 1 provided in this embodiment has a simple structure, is highly practical, and is easy to mass-produce and manufacture.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figures 3 to 4 This embodiment provides a picture frame 2, including a connector 1 as in embodiment 1, a frame 21 with a mounting groove 211 and a base plate 22 disposed in the mounting groove 211, and the connector 1 is used to connect the base plate 22 and the frame 21.

[0038] Specifically, the frame 21 includes a rectangular frame, and at least one side of the rectangular frame has an opening 212. In application, the base 11 of the connector 1 is fixed to the base plate 22 by a fastener 13, and the engaging section of the connector 1 is inserted into the opening 212.

[0039] It is understandable that when the connector 1 is fixed to the frame 21, the open end of the U-shaped structure faces the frame 21, so that the clearance section covers at least part of the frame 21.

[0040] Preferably, each inner wall 213 of the rectangular frame is inclined toward the center of the frame 21 to form a mounting groove 211. When the base plate 22 is placed in the mounting groove 211, the picture frame 2 can be placed on a flat table or hung stably indoors for decoration.

[0041] It is understood that when using the photo frame 2 provided in this embodiment to decorate photos or paintings, the photos or paintings are first placed in the mounting slot 211, then the base plate 22 is assembled into the mounting slot 211, the engaging section of the connector 1 is inserted into the opening 212 on the frame 21, the bent part 12 of the connector 1 is fitted to the area between the edge of the frame 21 and the opening 212, and finally the base 11 is fixed to the base plate 22 by passing fasteners 13 such as thumbtacks or screws through the mounting hole 111, thus completing the fixing function.

[0042] When the user grabs the frame 21 and lifts the picture frame 2, the engaging part 121 of the connector 1 will generate an up-and-down abutting force with the bottom wall of the opening 212 of the frame 21. This force will also keep the base plate 22 and the frame 21 firmly connected and prevent them from falling off. The picture frame 2 provided in this embodiment is suitable for large-sized and heavy picture frames 2, which can facilitate users to move them.

[0043] Preferably, the opening 212 is a waist-shaped hole. The long axis of the waist-shaped hole allows the engaging part 121 of the connector 1 to move slightly within the hole, which can compensate for positional deviations during part processing or installation and reduce assembly difficulty.

[0044] In summary, the photo frame 2 provided in this embodiment is suitable for displaying and transporting large-sized photos or paintings. Users can directly lift the frame 21 to move the photo frame 2. During the transportation process, the frame 21 will not disintegrate from the base plate 22 and will still maintain a stable connection.

[0045] It is understood that those skilled in the art can combine various implementation methods in the above embodiments under the guidance of the above examples to obtain technical solutions with multiple implementation methods.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
