Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decorative picture frame hanging technology, and in particular to a picture frame hook that is easy to level. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life and interior decoration, picture frames are the core carriers for displaying photos, paintings and other commemorative or decorative items. Their installation effect directly affects the aesthetics of the space and the user experience. Picture frame hooks are key components that connect picture frames to the wall. Their structural design and functional performance are the core factors that determine the ease of installation, positioning accuracy and long-term stability of picture frames. The first type is traditional hanging with ropes. D-rings are installed on both sides of the back panel of the frame, and then ropes or wires are attached. The frame is then suspended from wall nails by the ropes. This method is cumbersome, requiring measurement, cutting, and knotting, making it inefficient. Furthermore, because the ropes are far from the wall, a large cantilever moment is created, preventing the top edge of the frame from adhering tightly to the wall, affecting both aesthetics and stability. Its load-bearing capacity is particularly insufficient on plasterboard walls. The second type is the flat serrated hook. These hooks are typically installed on the outer frame or back panel of the picture frame. If installed on the outer frame, the hook protrudes from the frame, creating a noticeable gap between the frame and the wall, which is aesthetically unappealing. Furthermore, the force on the hook is concentrated on the upper edge of the outer frame, which can cause the upper edge to bend over time. If installed on the back panel, the distance between the hook and the wall is too large, increasing the leverage arm and amplifying the torque, making the frame unstable. This type of hook does not have the function of correcting height differences between two nails. The third type is the round hole hook. This type of hook needs to be directly attached to the wall nail. It cannot absorb the error in the spacing or height of the nails. Therefore, it requires a high level of construction precision. The nails on the wall must be driven very accurately, otherwise it cannot be hung. Even if it is successfully installed, its hanging ring is visible from the side, which is an exposed structure, not aesthetically pleasing, and lacks concealment. In summary, existing technologies have shortcomings in terms of installation efficiency, error tolerance, and load-bearing stability. Utility Model Content
[0003] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hook structure that allows hooks of the same model to be installed in pairs at any corner of the picture frame or on both sides of the picture frame. This can simultaneously eliminate the height error and horizontal spacing error of the two wall nails, improve the efficiency of hanging pictures, enhance the load-bearing capacity of the picture frame on low load-bearing walls such as plasterboard, and ensure that the picture frame is completely flush with the wall without tilting forward.
[0004] Technical solution: An easily adjustable picture frame hook, including a hook 1, the outer side of which is integrally formed with a hanging groove 1, one side of which is a straight edge and the other side is a beveled toothed edge, and the front surface of the hook 1 is provided with multiple through-hole fixing holes 1.
[0005] Furthermore, the hook two has an integrally formed hanging groove two on its outer side. One side of the hanging groove two is a straight edge, and the other side is a serrated edge. The front surface of the hook two has multiple through-hole fixing holes two.
[0006] Furthermore, the hook three has a through-type hanging groove three on the right side of its front surface. The overall cross-section of the hanging groove three is trapezoidal, the trapezoidal beveled surface of the hanging groove three is a beveled toothed edge, and the remaining surfaces are straight edges. A through-type fixing hole three is symmetrically opened on the front surface of the hook three and on the left side of the hanging groove three.
[0007] Furthermore, the hook four has a beveled toothed edge on the upper side and a straight edge on the lower side of its outer wall, and a through-hole four is provided on the front surface of the hook four.
[0008] Beneficial effects: Each hook in this utility model has a serrated edge and a straight edge structure. The serrated edge can correct the height difference between two wall nails by sliding left and right, and the straight edge can accommodate the horizontal spacing error between the wall nails. This allows one hook to solve two types of installation errors at the same time, eliminating the need to repeatedly adjust the position of the wall nails and improving the leveling efficiency and accuracy. In this utility model, the same type of hook can be flexibly installed at the four corners of the picture frame or on both sides of the picture frame, effectively reducing the types of hooks and reducing the difficulty of selection and installation for users. When in use, this utility model uses two hooks symmetrically installed on the top of the picture frame. The two nails share the load of the picture frame, and the exposed length of the screws is shorter, which significantly reduces the cantilever moment and prevents the low load-bearing wall from loosening due to excessive local stress, thus improving the load-bearing stability. At the same time, the hooks are tightly fixed to the back panel of the picture frame through fixing holes. The structural design ensures that the upper and lower edges of the picture frame can be tightly attached to the wall, preventing it from tilting forward and making it look more stable and beautiful. This utility model only requires the production of one type of hook, which can meet the installation needs of different corners and different hanging methods of picture frames, reduce the types of production molds and inventory quantity, reduce production and inventory costs, and eliminate the need to distinguish between models and positions during installation, thereby improving assembly efficiency and lowering the threshold for users. In this utility model, hook one and hook two not only fulfill the function of hooks, but also integrate the structural reinforcement function of corner brackets. When installed at the corner of the back panel of the picture frame, they can replace traditional independent corner brackets to support and reinforce the corners of the picture frame, preventing the corners from loosening and deforming after long-term use. This reduces the number of parts and installation steps, and further optimizes the simplicity of the back structure of the picture frame. Attached Figure Description

[0011] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example 1
[0012] like Figure 1 As shown, an easy-to-level picture frame hook is provided, including hook 1. The outer side of hook 1 is integrally formed with a hanging groove 2. One side of the hanging groove 2 is a straight edge and the other side is a beveled toothed edge. The front surface of hook 1 is provided with multiple through-hole fixing holes 3. The inclined toothed edge of the hanging groove 2 has multiple toothed grooves along the inclined direction, which allows the screw to slide smoothly along the inclined toothed edge. When there is a height difference between two wall nails pre-fixed on the wall, there is no need to manually disassemble and adjust the position of the wall nails. Simply push the picture frame manually to adjust the toothed groove to make the picture frame level. Then, gravity will make the toothed groove lock onto the screw, fixing the picture frame. There is no need to adjust the wall screws, thus simplifying the leveling operation. The straight edge of the hanging groove 2 forms a straight tolerance channel, which can effectively accommodate the horizontal spacing error between the two screws. Even if there is a deviation in the horizontal position of the two screws when drilling holes in the wall, the screws can move flexibly within the straight edge range to ensure that the hook can be properly positioned. In addition, through multiple fixing holes 3, the hook can be firmly fixed to the corner of the back panel of the picture frame with screws. Its own structure can fit tightly against the corner of the back panel of the picture frame and the frame, playing the role of traditional corner brackets in supporting and reinforcing the corner of the picture frame, effectively enhancing the overall deformation resistance of the picture frame. Meanwhile, the combination of the two beveled edges and straight edges of the hanging groove allows the same hook to be flexibly installed at any corner of the picture frame. Whether the picture frame is hung horizontally, vertically, or in a flipped direction, the hook can be used to achieve universal installation. There is no need to purchase different specifications of hooks for different hanging methods, reducing user costs and selection difficulty. In actual use, two of these hooks are symmetrically installed on the top of the picture frame. The double nails share the load of the picture frame, which can effectively distribute the weight compared to the traditional single nail suspension. Moreover, due to the shorter exposed length of the screw, the cantilever bending moment during suspension is reduced. Especially for the plasterboard walls commonly found abroad, the load-bearing capacity of the hook is significantly improved, preventing the picture frame from falling due to insufficient load. At the same time, the combination design of the straight edge and beveled edge allows the picture frame to be quickly leveled without repeatedly adjusting the position of the wall nails during installation. This eliminates the tedious steps of measurement, disassembly, and reinstallation during traditional leveling, improving installation efficiency. The tight fit between the hook and the picture frame and the wall also significantly improves the overall decorative aesthetics, solving the problem of gaps and unsightly effects that often occur after the installation of traditional hooks. Example 2
[0013] like Figure 2 As shown, an easily levelable picture frame hook is provided, including hook 2 4. The outer side of hook 2 4 is integrally formed with hanging groove 2 5. One side of hanging groove 2 5 is a straight edge and the other side is a beveled tooth edge. The front surface of hook 2 4 is provided with multiple through-hole fixing holes 2 6. Hook 24 also has an integrally formed hanging groove 25 on its outer side. One side of the hanging groove 25 is a straight edge, and the other side is a beveled toothed edge. The front surface of hook 24 has multiple through-hole fixing holes 26. The beveled toothed edge of the hanging groove 25 on the outer side of hook 24 can be used to slide the screw to adapt to the height difference of the wall nails to automatically level the picture frame. The straight edge can accommodate the horizontal spacing error of the screw and limit the position to ensure the stability of the suspension. The fixing holes 26 are used to fix it in the slot of the aluminum alloy picture frame. It can be installed at any corner of the picture frame to achieve both horizontal and vertical hanging. At the same time, it integrates the corner bracket function to reinforce the corner of the picture frame, replacing the current situation where the corner bracket and hook are separate. This reduces production costs and improves production efficiency. The symmetrical installation of double hooks can also distribute the load and reduce the cantilever bending moment to improve the load-bearing capacity of the gypsum board wall. It can quickly level without adjusting the wall nails, taking into account both the aesthetics of the wall and the convenience of installation. Example 3
[0014] like Figure 3 As shown, an easy-to-level picture frame hook is provided, including hook 3 7. A through-type hanging groove 3 8 is provided on the right side of the front surface of hook 3 7. The overall cross-section of hanging groove 3 8 is trapezoidal. The trapezoidal beveled surface of hanging groove 3 8 is beveled toothed edge, and the remaining surface is flat edge. A through-type fixing hole 3 9 is symmetrically provided on the front surface of hook 3 7 and on the left side of hanging groove 3 8. The hanging groove 38 on the outer side of hook 37 has a trapezoidal cross-section. The beveled corner of the trapezoid is a beveled toothed edge, and the rest is a straight edge. The beveled toothed edge can automatically level the picture frame by sliding left and right to adapt to the height difference of the wall nails. The straight edge can accommodate the horizontal spacing error of the screws. Fixing hole 39 is used to fix it to the aluminum alloy picture frame edge strip. When installing on both sides, the hook rotates 180 degrees clockwise, so that the straight edge is on the other side. The symmetrical installation of double hooks can share the load, reduce the cantilever bending moment and improve the load-bearing capacity of the gypsum board wall. It can quickly level without adjusting the wall nails, taking into account both the aesthetics of the wall and the convenience of installation. Example 4
[0015] like Figure 4 As shown, an easily levelable picture frame hook is provided, including hook 4 10. The upper and lower sides of the outer side wall of hook 4 10 are respectively a beveled tooth edge and a straight edge. The front surface of hook 4 10 is provided with a through-hole 4 11. Hook 4 10 has a beveled edge on the upper side and a straight edge on the lower side. It is fixed in pairs to the aluminum alloy strips on the left and right sides of the picture frame through fixing holes 11. When the left and right sides are installed, they will naturally rotate 180 degrees, so that one side has a beveled edge and the other side has a straight edge. The beveled edge on the upper side of hook 4 10 can be adjusted to the height difference of the wall nails by sliding the screws, so that the picture frame can be automatically leveled. The straight edge can accommodate the horizontal spacing error of the screws. The double nails on the wall can share the load, reduce the cantilever bending moment, and improve the load-bearing capacity of the gypsum board wall. It can be quickly leveled without adjusting the wall nails, taking into account both the aesthetics of the wall and the convenience of installation.
[0016] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
