Abstract

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0028] 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.
[0029] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., 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 application 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 application.
[0030] 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 the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 6 As shown.
[0032] Example 1: See Figures 4 to 6 A folding base comprising:
[0033] Base plate 1 is provided with a connection structure for fixing to the outside;
[0034] The first folding unit 10 has one end hinged to the middle of one side of the base plate 1, and the first folding unit 10 can rotate relative to the base plate 1; the width ratio of the first folding unit 10 to the width of the base plate 1 is 0.8 to 1.2.
[0035] The second folding unit 20 has one end hinged to the other end of the first folding unit 10. The other end of the second folding unit 20 is provided with a fixing structure for fixing objects. The second folding unit 20 can rotate relative to the first folding unit 10.
[0036] In this technical solution, the external environment includes walls, ceilings, wardrobes, cabinets, etc. During application, the base is fixed to the aforementioned external environment via a connecting structure. When in use, the first folding unit 10 rotates relative to the base, with its extension direction perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the plane of the base. The second folding unit 20 also rotates relative to the base, primarily used to adjust the angle of the object, such as adjusting the light emission direction of an LED lamp 30. When not in use, the first folding unit 10 rotates relative to the base, approaching and becoming approximately parallel to it. The second folding unit 20 also rotates relative to the first folding unit 10, making its fixing structure approximately parallel to the base. The object is also approximately parallel to the base, thus retracting the object to its closest possible distance to the base. This effectively saves space and improves space utilization.
[0037] Secondly, considering the application of folding space during folding, the width of the first folding unit 10 is preferably the same as or similar to the width of the base. This ensures that the first folding unit 10 will not protrude significantly to the side after folding, saving more space. Furthermore, considering the width of the base, after multiple tests, it is considered that the ratio of the width of the first folding unit 10 to the width of the base plate 1 is suitable between 0.8 and 1.2. Since the second folding unit 20 is mainly used for adjusting and fixing the structure, its extended length can be relatively short during application; in this embodiment, the shaft can be comparable to the thickness of the first folding unit 10. All widths refer to the length in the width direction.
[0038] See Figures 1 to 6 The connection structure includes connection holes 11 on both sides of the base plate 1, and / or an adhesive layer 16 is connected to the bottom of the base plate 1. Preferably, the connection holes 11 on both sides are oblong holes; more preferably, the length directions of the oblong holes on both sides are perpendicular.
[0039] To facilitate fixing the base plate 1 to external surfaces, such as walls, cabinets, or lights, this embodiment provides connection holes 11 on both sides of the base plate 1. The base plate 1 can be fixed to the wall or similar surface using bolts or similar mounting methods. The connection holes 11 can be light holes, threaded holes, etc. Alternatively, an adhesive layer 16, such as self-adhesive, can be provided on the bottom of the base plate 1; it can then be bonded to walls, cabinets, etc.
[0040] Secondly, to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the base plate 1, this embodiment sets the connecting hole 11 as an oblong hole. Since the oblong hole can only be adjusted in one direction, and the direction of adjustment is uncertain when fixing, this embodiment also provides a preferred method to set the length direction of the oblong holes on both sides perpendicularly.
[0041] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 The first folding unit 10 includes a first folding plate 5. Two first protrusions 2 are provided at intervals on one side of the base. The first protrusions 2 are provided with a first mounting hole 18 in the middle. Main shafts extend outward from both ends of one side of the first folding plate 5. The main shafts are respectively inserted into the first mounting holes 18 of the first protrusions 2 and connected to the first protrusions 2.
[0042] To allow the first folding plate 5 to hinge with the base and rotate relative to it, this embodiment provides two spaced first protrusions 2 on the base, and first mounting holes 18 on the first protrusions 2. The main shafts on both sides of the first folding plate 5 are respectively inserted into the first mounting holes 18. The main shafts and the first mounting holes 18 can be connected by interference fit or fit. When no external force is applied, the main shafts cannot rotate relative to the first mounting holes 18; when a large external force is applied, the main shafts can rotate relative to the first mounting holes 18, so that when in use, the first folding plate 5 can be opened and used by external force, and the first folding plate 5 will not rotate when there is no external force; when not in use, the first folding plate 5 can be rotated by external force to form a fold.
[0043] See Figure 6 The first folding plate 5 is provided with a main shaft hole 4, and a main screw 15 is sleeved in the main shaft hole 4. The two ends of the main screw 15 extend out of the first folding plate 5 and form the main shaft. The end of the main screw 15 is connected to a main nut 14. The outer end face of the first protrusion 2 is provided with a countersunk hole 3. The main nut 14 is located in the countersunk hole 3. Alternatively, the first folding plate 5 is provided with a main shaft hole 4, and a main screw 15 is sleeved in the main shaft hole 4. The two ends of the main screw 15 extend out of the first folding plate 5 and form the main shaft. The end of one main screw 15 is connected to a main nut 14, and the end of the other main screw 15 forms a bolt head. The bolt head and the main nut 14 are respectively located in the corresponding countersunk holes 3.
[0044] In this embodiment, the second method is selected. To simplify the structure and reduce costs, this technical solution sets the main shaft as a main screw 15 or a bolt. The main screw 15 or bolt is preferably connected to the first folding plate 5 with an interference fit, so that the rotation of the first folding plate 5 is synchronized with the rotation of the main screw 15 or bolt. When the main shaft is the main screw 15, the two ends of the main screw 15 are respectively connected to the main nuts 14. The main nuts 14 are located in the countersunk holes 3 of the first protrusion 2. By tightening the main nuts 14, the friction between the two main nuts 14 and the corresponding first protrusion 2 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the force for opening or folding when rotating the first folding plate 5. When the main screw 15 is a bolt, one end of the bolt is connected to the main nut 14. The bolt head and the main nut 14 are both located in the corresponding countersunk holes 3. By tightening the main nuts 14, the friction between the bolt head, the main nut 14 and the corresponding first protrusion 2 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the force for opening or folding when rotating the first folding plate 5.
[0045] Preferably, the spindle hole 4 is polygonal, and the cross-section of the middle part of the spindle rod is polygonal.
[0046] To ensure that the rotation of the first folding plate 5 is synchronized with that of the main screw 15 or bolt, and to simplify installation, the main spindle hole 4 can be set as a polygon; the middle part of the main spindle can be a smooth rod and a polygonal column, so that the rotation of the first folding plate 5 and the main spindle remains synchronized.
[0047] See Figures 4 to 6 The fixing structure includes a fixing plate 8, and the two sides of the fixing plate 8 are rolled inward to form C-shaped side plates 7; the fixing plate 8 and the two C-shaped side plates 7 form a snap-fit space.
[0048] The fixing structure engages with external objects by forming a snap-fit space. In this embodiment, the external object is an LED light fixture 30. The LED light fixture 30 is inserted into the snap-fit hole from the side. The C-shaped side plate 7 has a certain degree of elasticity, undergoing slight deformation and engaging with the side plate of the LED light fixture 30 to fix the LED light fixture 30 to the fixing plate 8. (See attached image) Figures 1 to 3 .
[0049] See Figure 6 The fixed plate 8 has two spaced second protrusions 9 extending from both ends toward the first folding plate 5. The second protrusion 9 has a second mounting hole 17 in the middle. The other two ends of the first folding plate 5 have auxiliary shafts extending outward. The auxiliary shafts are inserted into the second mounting holes 17 of the second protrusions 9 and connected to the second protrusions 9.
[0050] The connection structure between the first folding block and the second folding unit 20 can be the same as the connection structure between the first folding block and the chassis. When the first folding block rotates relative to the second folding unit 20, the rotation of the first folding block is synchronized with the rotation of the secondary shaft. Secondly, the secondary shaft can be rigidly connected or connected with the second protrusion 9, so that the second folding unit 20 needs to rely on a certain external force when rotating relative to it; that is, a certain external force is required to fold and unfold.
[0051] See Figure 6The first folding plate 5 is provided with a secondary shaft hole 6, and a secondary screw 13 is sleeved in the secondary shaft hole 6. The two ends of the secondary screw 13 extend out of the first folding plate 5 and form the secondary shaft. The end of the secondary screw 13 is connected to a secondary nut 12. The outer end face of the second protrusion 9 is also provided with a countersunk hole 3. The secondary nut 12 is located in the countersunk hole 3. Alternatively, the first folding plate 5 is provided with a secondary shaft hole 6, and a secondary screw 13 is sleeved in the secondary shaft hole 6. The two ends of the secondary screw 13 extend out of the first folding plate 5 and form the secondary shaft. The end of one secondary screw 13 is connected to a secondary nut 12, and the end of the other secondary screw 13 forms a bolt head. The bolt head and the secondary nut 12 are respectively located in the corresponding countersunk holes 3.
[0052] When the first folding plate 5 is hinged to the second protrusion 9, it adopts the same structure as when the first protrusion 2 is hinged. It is connected to the secondary screw 13 through the secondary shaft hole 6. Both ends of the secondary screw 13 are connected to secondary nuts 12, or one end is connected to the secondary nut 12 and the other end forms a bolt head. The force of rotation of the second folding plate relative to the first folding plate 5 is adjusted by friction. Preferably, the secondary shaft hole 6 is polygonal, and the middle cross-section of the secondary shaft is polygonal. Similarly, to maintain the rotation of the secondary shaft and the first folding plate 5 in unison, the secondary shaft hole 6 and the middle section of the secondary shaft are set as polygons.
[0053] Example 2: See Figures 1 to 3 An LED lighting assembly includes an LED lighting fixture 30 and the aforementioned folding base, wherein the LED lighting fixture 30 is connected to a fixing structure of a second folding unit 20.
[0054] In practical applications, the shape of the LED lamp 30 is adapted to the snap-fit space formed by the fixing structure, and the LED lamp 30 is snapped into the snap-fit space from the side.
[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
