Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a magnetic attraction folding screen structure in which the magnet can be adjusted up or down as desired. [Background technology]
[0002] Up until now, most of the conventional folding screens, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, comprise at least two folding screens (40), the sides of which are connected to each other by attaching at least one assembly part (50), where the folding screens (40) have an outer frame (41), and at least one magnet (42) is fitted to each side of the outer frame (41), and the magnet (42) magnetically attracts the assembly part (50), and the assembly part (50) has at least two magnetically attractable (metal) parts. JPEG0003254659000002.jpg46 is formed by connecting the mounting members (51) to each other, and the mounting members (51) can have openings (511). By using the connecting members (51) to each other, the openings (511) of each mounting member (51) can be oriented in different directions, and the openings (511) can be used to provide the folding screens (40) respectively. After the folding screens (40) are inserted and fitted into the outer frames (41), the magnets (42) are magnetically attracted to the mounting members (51). After the folding screens (40) are inserted, fitted and attracted, they can be positioned so that they are mutually attracted to each other after being assembled, and this can be applied regardless of the material of the outer frames (41).
[0003] However, the conventional structure described above has the following problems in practical use: the magnet (42) is completely embedded in the outer frame (41) of the folding screen (40), and therefore cannot be adjusted up or down on the side of the folding screen (40) according to different adsorption positions, which makes it relatively inconvenient to use.
[0004] As shown in Figure 11, there is another conventional folding screen, which comprises a number of folding screens (60) and a number of magnets (70), wherein the folding screens (60) have an outer frame (61), which has a number of grooves (611) on both sides thereof, into which are fitted positioning pieces (62) each having a locking hole, the magnets (70) are inserted into the grooves (611) of the outer frame (61), and screws are used to pass through the locking holes of the positioning pieces (62) and further lock them in place, so that the magnets (70) are fitted into the outer frame (61), and the folding screens (60) can be connected to each other by the magnetic attraction of the magnets (70).
[0005] However, the above-described conventional structure has the following problems in practical use: the magnet (70) is completely embedded in the outer frame (61) of the folding screen (60), and therefore cannot be adjusted up or down on the side of the folding screen (60) according to different adsorption positions, which makes it relatively inconvenient to use.
[0006] Therefore, how to research and develop to improve the shortcomings of the two conventional folding screens mentioned above has been the goal of research and development in the industry. The inventor took this into consideration, came up with a creative concept, designed it with many years of experience, and after much discussion, testing of trial samples, and multiple modifications and improvements, came up with this invention. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Technical solutions to the problem: The present invention provides a magnetically coupled folding screen structure, which includes at least one folding screen and a plurality of movable members, wherein the folding screen has an outer frame, and both edges of the outer frame are formed with longitudinal sliding grooves, the sliding grooves have openings, and the openings are smaller than the sliding grooves, so that the movable member can only be inserted into the sliding grooves longitudinally and slide into the sliding grooves, but cannot exit the outer frame laterally through the openings. At least one locking hole is formed through the movable member, and a magnet is fitted into it. When the movable member is inserted into the sliding groove and slides up and down in the sliding groove, it can be adjusted to a predetermined height, and then a screw is inserted through the locking hole to lock the movable member together with the magnet at the adjusted height, so that the magnet fits exactly into the opening, thereby generating magnetic attraction, thereby obtaining a magnetically coupled folding screen structure.
[0008] Compare the effectiveness of conventional technologies: The present invention provides a folding screen structure that is connected by magnetic attraction, in which the magnet can slide up and down the sliding groove by the movable part, and is screw-locked with the screw, so that it can be positioned at any required height. Therefore, in addition to being able to magnetically attract two or more folding screens to each other, the folding screen can also be attached to metal fittings at various heights, making the folding screen more convenient to use and broadening its range of applications.

[0010] In order to better understand and appreciate the objects, features, and advantages of the present invention, the following detailed description will be given with reference to the drawings in [Brief Description of the Drawings].
[0011] First, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the folding screen structure connected by magnetic attraction includes at least one folding screen (10) and a plurality of movable members (20), wherein the folding screen (10) has an outer frame (11), and both edges of the outer frame (11) are formed with vertical sliding grooves (12), and the sliding grooves (12) are provided with openings (121). Since the openings (121) are smaller than the sliding grooves (12), the movable members (20) can only be inserted into the sliding grooves (12) from the vertical direction, and can slide into the sliding grooves (12) and then laterally move from the openings (121) to the outer frame (11). ), the movable part (20) has at least one locking hole (201) passing through it, and a magnet (21) is fitted into it. The movable part (20) is inserted into the slide groove (12) and slid up and down in the slide groove (12). After the movable part (20) is adjusted to a predetermined height, a screw (22) is inserted through the locking hole (201) to lock the movable part (20) together with the magnet (21) at the adjusted height, and the magnet (21) can be fitted into the opening (121) to perform magnetic attraction.
[0012] The present invention provides a folding screen structure that is connected by magnetic attraction, wherein the outer frame (11) has four frame bars (111) and four joints (112), and the frame bars (111) are connected to the corners of the outer frame (11) by the joints (112), so that the frame bars (111) can be combined with the joints (112) to form the integrated outer frame (11).
[0013] The present invention provides a magnetically coupled folding screen structure, in which the frame bar (111) is manufactured by aluminum extrusion molding.
[0014] The present invention provides a magnetically coupled folding screen structure, in which the movable member (20) is widened on both sides to form shoulders (202), and the groove wall of the slide groove (12) is provided with recesses (122) to accommodate the shoulders (202).
[0015] With the above structure, the magnet (21) can slide up and down the slide groove (12) by the movable member (20) (as shown in Figure 5), and can be screw-locked with the screw (22) to be positioned at any desired height. This allows the folding screen (10) to be magnetically attracted to two or more of its parts (as shown in Figures 6 and 7), and can also be attached to metal fittings (30) at various heights (for example, metal frames, metal cabinets, metal handrails, etc., as shown in Figure 8), making the folding screen (10) more convenient to use and more versatile.
[0016] The above is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the utility model claims. In other words, any changes or modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should also fall within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
