[0031] The folded position of the spreader bar 6 in this embodiment refers to a state in which the total length between the spreader bars 6 on both sides of the center seat 5 becomes shorter, that is, when the spreader bar 6 is in the unfolded position, the distance between the outer ends of the spreader bars 6 on both sides of the center seat 5 is L1, and when the spreader bar 6 is in the folded position, the distance between the outer ends of the spreader bars 6 on both sides of the center seat 5 is L2, where L1 is greater than L2;
[0032] The spreader bars on both sides 6 are connected by the center seat 5 in this embodiment, so that the two spreader bars 6 can be folded relative to the center seat 5 and thus occupy a smaller space during transportation and are easy to carry. Further, the foldable structure can lock the spreader bar 6 in the unfolded position to ensure the stability of the light box during use and prevent the spreader bar 6 from accidentally collapsing or falling due to the action of external forces. Further, the spreader bar 6 is always connected to the center seat 5 so that it can be quickly moved from the folded position to the unfolded position, which is conducive to the rapid deployment of the light box in the field and reduces installation time and difficulty.
[0033] In some examples, such as Fig. 1, the horizontal side frame 1 comprises two horizontal side segments 11 and a horizontal connecting piece 12 connected between the two horizontal side segments 11, and a spreader bar 6 is provided correspondingly between the horizontal connecting piece 12 and the center seat 5 in the center of the horizontal side frame 1; specifically, the two horizontal side segments 11 connected by the horizontal connecting piece are of equal length, and the upper end of the upper vertical side segment 21 is connected by means of an upper corner connecting piece 3 to one end of the upper horizontal side segment 11 remote from the horizontal connecting piece 12, and the lower end of the lower vertical side segment 21 is connected by means of a lower corner connecting piece 4 to one end of the lower horizontal side segment 11 remote from the horizontal connecting piece 12; The inner end of the spreader bar 6, which corresponds to the horizontal connecting piece 12, is connected to the central seat 5 by a foldable structure, the horizontal connecting piece 12 and the outer end of the spreader bar 6 being detachably and firmly connected in the unfolded position on the side on which it is located; In this embodiment, the surrounding spreader bars 6 are arranged at a distance of 90° around the center seat 5 to form a cross structure connecting a pair of horizontal side frames 1 and a pair of vertical side frames 2 as a single unit with the inner cross structure, so that the spreader bars 6 are able to disperse and withstand the external wind or pressure, etc. to which the light box is subjected, thereby improving the stability of the light box; At the same time, the spreader bar 6, which corresponds to the horizontal connecting piece 12, always remains connected to the center seat 5, so that it can be quickly moved from the folded position to the locked position, which is conducive to the rapid deployment of the light box in the field and reduces the installation time and difficulty.
