Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lantern technology, and in particular to a novel lantern frame. Background Technology
[0002] Since ancient times, lanterns have been closely related to people's lives in China. In ancient times, they were used for lighting. Today, they are mostly used as home decorations. Throughout China, people hang red lanterns, symbolizing the importance of family reunion, to create a festive atmosphere during festivals or weddings.
[0003] In the existing technology, most lantern frames include an upper plate, a lower plate, and several ribs evenly arranged between the upper and lower plates. Connectors are provided at both ends of the ribs. Several protrusions are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the upper and lower plates. A receiving groove is formed between two adjacent protrusions to accommodate the connectors. During assembly, wires are manually passed through the staggered protrusions and connectors in sequence to connect the ribs to the upper and lower lantern plates. This assembly method has problems such as low efficiency, easy omissions and misassemblies, and difficulty in rework.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved and enhanced. Utility Model Content

One end of the keel is provided with a first latching hole that cooperates with the first latching head, and the first latching head is engaged in the first latching hole. The outer periphery of the lower plate is evenly distributed with a plurality of second protrusions, and a second receiving groove is provided between two adjacent second protrusions. A second latching head is provided on each of the two groove walls of the second receiving groove, and the two second latching heads are arranged opposite to each other. The other end of the keel is provided with a second latching hole that cooperates with the second latching head, and the second latching head is engaged in the second latching hole.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, one end of the keel is provided with a first connector and the other end of the keel is provided with a second connector. The first connector is provided with a first buckle hole and the second connector is provided with a second buckle hole.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, each of the two first buckle heads has a first guide slope on its opposite end face, and each of the two second buckle heads has a second guide slope on its opposite end face.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the keel includes a frame body and a first connector and a second connector disposed at both ends of the frame body.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the first connector is provided with a first receiving hole, the second connector is provided with a second receiving hole, one end of the skeleton body is received in the first receiving hole, and the other end of the skeleton body is received in the second receiving hole.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] Thanks to the above structural design, where one end of the keel is connected to the upper plate with a snap-fit and the other end is connected to the lower plate with a snap-fit, installation can be done quickly without tools, reducing the likelihood of missing or incorrect installations, ensuring consistent product quality and stability.

[0032] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. Example
[0033] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this application discloses a novel lantern frame, comprising an upper plate 10, a lower plate 20, and several keels 30. One end of each keel 30 is snapped to the upper plate 10, and the other end of each keel 30 is snapped to the lower plate 20. Through the above structural design, the two ends of the keels are snapped to the upper and lower plates respectively, enabling quick installation without the use of tools. This reduces the likelihood of missing or incorrect installations, resulting in good product consistency and stable quality.
[0034] Specifically, the upper plate 10 has several first protrusions 11 evenly distributed along its outer periphery, and a first receiving groove 12 is provided between two adjacent first protrusions 11. A first latching head 13 is provided on each of the two groove walls of the first receiving groove 12, and the two first latching heads 13 are arranged opposite to each other. One end of the keel 30 is provided with a first latching hole 34 that cooperates with the first latching head 13, and the first latching head 13 is engaged in the first latching hole 34. The lower plate 20 has several second protrusions 21 evenly distributed along its outer periphery, and a second receiving groove 22 is provided between two adjacent second protrusions 21. A second latching head 23 is provided on each of the two groove walls of the second receiving groove 22, and the two second latching heads 23 are arranged opposite to each other. The other end of the keel 30 is provided with a second latching hole 35 that cooperates with the second latching head 23, and the second latching head 23 is engaged in the second latching hole 35.
[0035] Specifically, the keel 30 includes a frame body 31 and a first connector 32 and a second connector 33 disposed at both ends of the frame body 31. The frame body is made of fiberglass. The first connector 32 is provided with a first receiving hole 321, and the second connector 33 is provided with a second receiving hole 331. One end of the frame body 31 is received in the first receiving hole 321, and the other end of the frame body 31 is received in the second receiving hole 331. The first connector 32 is provided with a first snap-fit hole 34, and the second connector 33 is provided with a second snap-fit hole 35.
[0036] Specifically, each of the two first buckle heads 13 has a first guide slope 131 on its opposite end face, and each of the two second buckle heads 23 has a second guide slope 231 on its opposite end face. Under the guidance of the first guide slope, the first connector causes the two first buckle heads to snap into the first buckle hole to form a snap-fit. Under the guidance of the second guide slope, the second connector causes the two second buckle heads to open into the second buckle hole to form a snap-fit.
[0037] In summary, this utility model, through the above-described structural design, overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and features a reasonable structure, easy assembly, and high product efficiency.
[0038] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
