[0018] To more clearly illustrate this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a further picture.

[0019] In the following description, examples and details are given to provide a more in-depth understanding of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] It should be understood that when the terms “comprising” and / or “including” are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the said feature, integral, step, operation, element, or component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-9 The present invention provides a conveniently deployable support frame structure, comprising: Entity 1; The assembly ring 7 is sleeved on the main body 1 and has at least three support feet 2 hinged to it. When any support foot 2 is closed and fitted with the adjacent support foot 2, a pressure zone is formed at the end. Specifically, one end of the support foot 2 is provided with a rotating hole 24, and the assembly ring 7 is provided with a rotating shaft 72 corresponding to the rotating hole 24. The support foot 2 is hinged to the rotating shaft 72 through the rotating hole 24.

[0022] The elastic element has one end fixedly connected to the assembly ring 7 and the other end abutting against the side of the support foot 2 facing the main body 1. Specifically, the support foot 2 is provided with a sliding groove 25 adjacent to the rotating shaft 72. The elastic element is a torsion spring 4, which includes a fixed end 41, an abutting end 42 and a spring ring 43. The fixed end 41 is fixedly connected to the assembly ring 7, the abutting end 42 abuts against the sliding groove 25, and the torsion spring 4 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 72.

[0023] Connecting seat 3 is elastically connected to one end of the main body 1 near the pressure area. When the support leg 2 is retracted into the main body 1, the connecting seat 3 restricts the movement of the support leg 2. Pushing the connecting seat 3 causes the support leg 2 to separate from the connecting seat 3.

[0024] This support frame structure utilizes the elasticity of the torsion spring 4 to achieve rapid and automatic deployment of the support leg 2, significantly improving user convenience. Specifically, the fixed end 41 of the torsion spring 4 is fixed to the assembly ring 7, and the abutting end 42 abuts against the slide groove 25, ensuring that the support leg 2 is always subjected to an outward elastic force in its natural state. When the support leg 2 is retracted, the connecting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the support leg 2, at which point the torsion spring 4 is compressed within the slide groove 25. When the user needs to deploy the support frame, they simply press the pressing piece 5 to separate the connecting seat 3 from the support leg 2. At this time, the torsion spring 4 rapidly releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the support leg 2 outward. During the springing process of the support leg 2, the abutting end 42 is guided by the slide groove 25, allowing for a smooth deployment and preventing the support leg 2 from suddenly popping out or wobbling, thereby improving the stability of the support frame. This design not only simplifies the operation steps but also improves efficiency, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent deployment and folding.

[0025] In this embodiment, each support leg 2 has a support keel 21 on the side facing the main body 1. One end of each support keel 21 is hinged to the main body 1, and the other end is hinged to the support leg 2. During the unfolding process of the support leg 2, the support keel 21 plays a guiding and supporting role, ensuring that the support leg 2 can unfold smoothly and accurately to the predetermined position. At the same time, the hinged design of the support keel 21 with the main body 1 and the support leg 2 makes the entire structure more flexible when unfolding and retracting, and can adapt to different usage needs.

[0026] In this embodiment, each support leg 2 has a storage groove 22 on its side opposite to the main body 1, which is adapted to the support keel 21. One end of the support keel 21 is hinged to the two opposite walls of the storage groove 22 and can be stored and unfolded in the storage groove 22. When stored, the support keel 21 can be completely retracted into the storage groove 22, significantly improving space utilization, and the storage process is simple and efficient. In the stored state, the support keel 21 and the storage groove 22 fit tightly together, effectively preventing dust and debris from entering the groove and keeping the structure clean; at the same time, the support keel 21 will not easily detach from the storage groove 22 due to shaking or external force, ensuring stability and safety in the stored state. This design enhances the practicality of the support frame while also taking into account aesthetics and convenience, fully meeting the user's core needs for an efficient, stable, and easy-to-use support frame structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connecting seat 3 has a locking block 31 on the side near the supporting leg 2, and the supporting leg 2 has a locking groove 23 that matches the locking block 31. The connecting seat 3 is engaged with the locking groove 23 through the locking block 31. When unfolding the support frame structure, simply push the locking block 31 out of the locking groove 23 to separate the connecting seat 3 from the supporting leg 2; when retracting the support frame structure, retract the supporting leg 2, and the locking block 31 will engage with the locking groove 23. This locking design greatly facilitates the user's quick installation and removal of the supporting leg 2, improving the ease of operation.

[0028] In this embodiment, a pressing member 5 is also included. The pressing member 5 passes through the pressure area and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 3 so that when the pressing member 5 is pressed, it pushes the locking block 31 out of the slot 23, thereby realizing the disassembly of the connecting seat 3 and the support leg 2. The pressing member 5 is ingeniously and practically designed. One end of it passes through the pressure area and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 3, ensuring that the pressing member 5 will not loosen or fall off during normal use. When the user needs to disassemble the support leg 2, he only needs to press the pressing member 5 gently, and its other end will push the locking block 31 to move in the slot 23 until the locking block 31 is completely disengaged from the slot 23. At this time, the connection between the connecting seat 3 and the support leg 2 is released, and the user can easily separate the support leg 2 from the connecting seat 3. This design not only simplifies the disassembly process and reduces the difficulty of operation for users, but also avoids the risk of damage caused by using tools, further improving the convenience and practicality of the support frame structure.

[0029] In this embodiment, each support leg 2 has a plug 26 and a slot 27 on its two side walls. When the support leg 2 is retracted, the plug 26 and slot 27 engage with the slot 27 and plug 26 of the adjacent support leg 2. This plugging method allows the support legs 2 to connect with each other and form an integral structure in the retracted state, further enhancing the stability and compactness of the support frame structure in the retracted state. In addition, the design of the plug 26 and slot 27 is simple and ingenious, not only easy to operate but also firmly connected, effectively preventing the support legs 2 from detaching or shaking during retraction. When unfolding the support frame structure, the user only needs to press the pressing piece 5, and the support leg 2 will automatically pop out under the action of the torsion spring 4. At the same time, the engagement relationship between the plug 26 and slot 27 will be released, allowing the support leg 2 to unfold smoothly and be supported on the ground.

[0030] In this embodiment, a fixing member 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the main body 1 near the connecting seat 3. A connecting post 32 is formed on the side of the connecting seat 3 near the fixing member 6. A spring is sleeved on the connecting post 32. The fixing member 6 has a receiving hole 61 for accommodating the connecting post 32. The two ends of the spring abut against the end of the connecting post 32 and the bottom of the receiving hole 61, respectively, so that the connecting post 32 and the receiving hole 61 form an elastic connection. The elastic connection design not only improves the connection stability between the connecting seat 3 and the base, but also provides a certain buffering effect, effectively reducing the damage that may be caused by external impact or vibration during use. When the support frame is subjected to external force, the spring can absorb some energy, reduce the impact on the overall structure, and thus extend the service life of the support frame. In addition, the elasticity of the spring also makes the position of the connecting seat 3 relative to the base adjustable. Users can fine-tune the position of the connecting seat 3 according to actual needs, further improving the applicability and flexibility of the support frame.

[0031] In this embodiment, the pressing member 5 is provided with a through hole 51, and the connecting seat 3 is provided with a fixing post 33 that matches the through hole 51. The fixing post 33 is embedded in the through hole 51 to achieve a fixed connection between the connecting seat 3 and the pressing member 5. This fixed connection method is not only simple in design but also firmly connected, effectively preventing the pressing member 5 from loosening or falling off during use. The precise matching of the fixing post 33 and the through hole 51 ensures the accurate position of the pressing member 5 on the connecting seat 3, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the support frame when it is unfolded or retracted.

[0032] In this embodiment, the assembly ring 7 has a through hole 71, and the fixed end 41 is inserted into the through hole 71 to achieve a fixed connection between the torsion spring 4 and the assembly ring 7. The more coils of the spring coil 43, the stronger the elasticity and service life of the torsion spring 4, thus making the elastic unfolding characteristic of the supporting keel 21 relative to the main body 1 stronger. The assembly ring 7 has a through hole 71, and the fixed end 41 of the torsion spring 4 is inserted into the through hole 71 to achieve a fixed connection between the torsion spring 4 and the assembly ring 7. The abutting end 42 of the torsion spring 4 abuts against the slide groove 25. The abutting end 42 is designed with a smooth structure so that the abutting end 42 can move smoothly during the folding and unfolding of the supporting leg 2.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When unfolding the support frame, the user only needs to press the pressing part 5. Under the action of external force, the pressing part 5 moves inward, simultaneously pushing the locking block 31 out of the slot 23, thereby unlocking the connecting seat 3 from the support leg 2. At this time, the torsion spring 4 releases its elastic potential energy instantly, its fixed end 41 is fixedly connected to the assembly ring 7, while the abutting end 42 drives the support leg 2 to expand outward until it reaches the appropriate position; when retracting, the support leg 2 is retracted towards the main body 1 to a close fit, and the locking block 31 will automatically lock into the slot 23 to achieve a stable lock. At the same time, the support keel 21 is retracted into the storage slot 22.

[0034] The advantages of this utility model are: This invention utilizes a torsion spring installed between the support leg and the assembly ring fitted onto the main body, with one end of the torsion spring fixedly connected to the assembly ring, enabling the support leg to elastically unfold relative to the main body. When the connecting seat is disconnected from the support leg, the torsion spring instantly releases its elastic potential energy, automatically popping the support leg out and unfolding it, eliminating the need for manual prying apart one by one. This achieves a convenient unfolding function for the support frame, significantly improving operational efficiency.

[0035] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
