[0035] This utility model proposes a hanging aid for paintings.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 6As shown, a picture hanging accessory includes a picture hanging panel 10, a first level 20, and a movable hook 30. The picture hanging panel 10 has at least one movable hole 11 along its length, and the first level 20 is detachably mounted on the picture hanging panel 10. The movable hook 30 is rotatably mounted within the movable hole 11 and has a retracted state and a usable state along its rotational trajectory. The movable hook 30 includes a hook body 32 and a needle 33 mounted on the bottom of the hook body 32, the needle 33 protruding outward relative to the hook body 32.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the movable hook 30 is in the retracted state, both the hook body 32 and the needle 33 are completely retracted into the movable hole 11, keeping the surface of the picture hanging board 10 flat and easy to carry and store, without the risk of snagging or collision due to the hook protruding outwards. When needed, the user can first use the first level 20 (the first level 20 is set along the width direction of the picture hanging board 10) to determine the horizontal position of the picture hanging board 10, and then rotate the movable hook 30 outwards around the rotation axis of the edge of the movable hole 11 to the use state. At this time, part of the hook body 32 protrudes out of the movable hole 11, and the needle 33 is perpendicular to the surface of the picture hanging board 10. The user then gently presses the hook body 32, causing the tip of the needle 33 to leave a small hole or mark on the wall (the structure of the needle 33 protruding from the hook body 32 ensures that a visible positioning point is created when the button is pressed). The user then inserts a nail or fastener at the mark and hangs the painting. After positioning or hanging, the movable hook 30 can be rotated back to the storage position, restoring the picture hanging panel 10 to its flat shape. This structure and operation method, utilizing the cooperation of the movable hole 11 and the rotatable hook, ensures both the simplicity and accuracy of the positioning operation (leveling is performed first with the help of the first level 20 before positioning), and also keeps the picture hanging accessory flat and non-protruding when not in use, avoiding snagging and space occupation, thus improving portability and storage convenience.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the picture hanging board 10 has a mounting base 12 on its inner wall corresponding to the movable hole 11. The mounting base 12 forms a first storage groove 121, and the movable hole 11 is opened in the groove wall of the first storage groove 121. The movable hook 30 is installed on the mounting base 12. In this embodiment, the mounting base 12 is located in the concave area of ​​the picture hanging board 10 and forms a first storage groove 121 along the periphery of the hole. The movable hole 11 is opened on the side wall of the groove. The movable hook 30 is connected to the mounting base 12 through a pivot 31 and can be folded in the storage groove. This structure allows the movable hook 30 to be completely stored in the first storage groove 121 when not in use, preventing it from being exposed and snagging other items when packaged or carried. When in use, the hook can be pulled out or flipped into place. The groove provides a stable guide surface and mounting base for the hook, ensuring that the hook is evenly stressed and not easily loosened when pressed, thus balancing safety and portability.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 12 has limiting grooves 122 on its outer walls on opposite sides, and the hook body 32 has rotating shafts 31 on opposite sides, with the rotating shafts 31 located within the limiting grooves 122. In this embodiment, the limiting grooves 122 are arranged along the rotation direction of the movable hook 30, and the rotating shafts 31 are embedded in the limiting grooves 122 and rotate in a slidable manner. The limiting grooves 122 restrict the horizontal movement of the movable hook 30, ensuring that it can be stably positioned when unfolded and will not exceed the design range. This structure can stably maintain the vertical posture of the needle 33 during use, making the marking point position accurate and consistent; when stored, it can make the hook completely fit against the inner wall of the picture hanging board 10, improving overall reliability.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the hanging accessory also includes a limiting spring 40. One end of the limiting spring 40 is positioned on the side wall of the mounting base 12, and the other end is connected to the pivot 31 of the movable hook 30. In this embodiment, the limiting spring 40 is pre-loaded with elasticity by fixing one end to the side wall of the mounting base 12, and the other end overlaps the hook pivot 31, forming an elastic constraint on the rotation of the hook. The spring provides resistance when the hook rotates outward, ensuring that the hook remains within the limiting groove 122 when not in use. When the mark is pressed, the preload of the spring provides the user with clear tactile feedback and controls the applied force, preventing accidental touch or hook dislocation due to sudden placement or collision, thereby improving the controllability and safety of operation.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a limiting block 123 protrudes from the side wall of the mounting base 12, and the limiting spring 40 is partially located between the limiting block 123 and the inner wall of the picture hanging board 10. In this embodiment, the limiting block 123 protrudes from the side wall of the mounting base 12 as a mechanical stop for the spring, and a portion of the spring is placed in the narrow cavity between the limiting block 123 and the inner wall of the picture hanging board 10. The limiting block 123 serves to fix, limit, and protect the spring. This arrangement facilitates accurate positioning of the spring during assembly, preventing spring slippage, and forms a reliable spring anchoring point through the limiting block 123, thereby ensuring stable lever arm during spring operation, controllable and durable return force after adjustment, and improving the reliability of the hook during use.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the picture hanging panel 10 has three movable holes 11. Two of the movable holes 11 are spaced apart along the width direction of the picture hanging panel 10, and the third movable hole 11 is spaced apart along the length direction of the picture hanging panel 10 relative to the two movable holes 11. The number of movable hooks 30 corresponds to the number of movable holes 11, and they are respectively installed in the movable holes 11. In this embodiment, this three-point distribution layout can adapt to the hanging needs of picture frames of different sizes and proportions. The two horizontal hooks are used to determine the horizontal support point of the picture frame, and the vertical hook can help to calibrate the vertical center point or assist in hanging higher picture frames. This structure makes this accessory compatible with various hanging scenarios without the need for additional distance measurement or repositioning.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the picture hanging accessory also includes a storage component 50. The first level 20 is detachably mounted on the storage component 50. The picture hanging panel 10 has a second storage slot 13, and the storage component 50 is rotatably mounted in the second storage slot 13. In this embodiment, the storage component 50 is connected to the second storage slot 13 via a pivot 31. When not in use, the first level 20 can be retracted into the storage component 50; when needed, the user only needs to unscrew the storage component 50 to use the level directly. The second storage slot 13 and the movable hole 11 are on the same surface of the picture hanging panel 10, concentrating all operations on a single plane, facilitating one-handed operation and observation, and reducing assembly complexity. This design maintains a flat overall appearance while ensuring functionality.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a spring piece 151 is provided on the bottom wall of the second storage slot 13. The spring piece 151 movably abuts against the storage component 50 along its rotation trajectory. In this embodiment, the spring piece 151 is disposed on the bottom wall of the second storage slot 13 with a slightly convex structure, and disengages from the storage component 50 when it rotates into position or retracts. The spring piece 151 provides two perceptible stop positions (expanded position and retracted position) to prevent the storage component 50 from rotating freely during transportation or use; at the same time, the user can perceive resistance during operation, enhancing the certainty of operation and avoiding misalignment that could affect the use or return of the level.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the hanging accessory also includes multiple hanging nails 60. The outer wall of the hanging panel 10 has a third storage slot 14, the same number as the hanging nails 60. The hanging nails 60 are detachably installed in the third storage slot 14. In this embodiment, the third storage slot 15 is located on the same surface of the hanging panel 10 as other slots and is arranged on the outer wall in a convenient position for easy access. The hanging nails 60 are inserted into independent slots according to their quantity and fixed by locking or magnetic attraction.

[0046] It should be explained that the picture nail 60 is magnetic. When in use, it is magnetically fixed to the iron buckle on the painting. Then, the first level 20 is attached to the painting to keep the painting level. Then, the picture nail 60 is pressed to leave a positioning mark on the wall.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the picture hanging accessory also includes a second level 70. The picture hanging panel 10 has a mounting groove, and the second level 70 is embedded in the mounting groove along the length of the picture hanging panel 10. The second level 70 and the first level 20 are vertically arranged on the same horizontal plane. In this embodiment, the second level 70 is embedded in the mounting groove along the length of the panel and forms a perpendicular cross reference with the first level 20. The two are located on the same horizontal plane to ensure that the horizontal and vertical references in both directions are available simultaneously.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the picture hanging board 10 has centimeter scales 81 and inch scales 82 respectively provided on the outer walls of opposite sides along its length. In this embodiment, the sides of the picture hanging board 10 are engraved with millimeter and inch scales, making it convenient for users to directly read the required spacing and center position when placing it horizontally or vertically. The scales are used in conjunction with the first level 20, the second level 70, and the movable hole 11, etc., to quickly locate the nail spacing or the spacing between multiple pictures directly through the scale during the marking stage, reducing the use of measuring tools and improving the efficiency and accuracy of the arrangement.

[0049] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
