Abstract
Description
A folding lamp holder for decorative lamps Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of decorative lighting technology and relates to a folding lamp holder for decorative lights. Background Technology
[0002] During Christmas, people like to decorate their rooms with Christmas lights, hanging colorful lights on Christmas trees and placing Christmas gift box lights under them, especially at night, which have a great decorative effect and bring a joyful and peaceful festive atmosphere. Most Christmas gift box lights are square, allowing them to be placed stably on the ground and stacked. These lights have a simple structure; the frame is made of plastic or iron in a square shape, composed of multiple connecting rods. Decorative ribbons, ropes, colored paper, and other decorations can be wrapped or pasted onto the six sides and edges of the square frame. Inside the square frame is a lamp holder with LED lights installed, or strings of light bulbs can be directly wrapped around the square frame. Most existing lamp holders are non-detachable. While they are sturdy, the square frame cannot be folded or retracted, resulting in a large space occupation, and the connecting rods are easily broken by external objects. Technical issues
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a foldable lamp holder for decorative lamps. This foldable design facilitates transportation, reduces storage space, and is also easy to install. Technical solutions
[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: A folding lamp holder for decorative lamps, comprising a front frame, a rear frame, an upper frame, and a side frame that can be folded inward or outward. The front frame, rear frame, upper frame, and side frame are all composed of connecting rods with circular cross-sections. The front frame, rear frame, and upper frame are all rectangular. Several connecting sleeves (first type) are fixed along the length of the vertical beams on both sides of the front frame. Several connecting sleeves (second type) are fixed along the length of the vertical beams on both sides of the rear frame. The front end of the side frame passes through the connecting sleeves (first type) and is rotatably connected to the front frame. The rear end of the side frame passes through the connecting sleeves (second type) and is rotatably connected to the rear frame. Several connecting sleeves (third type) are fixed along the length of the upper crossbeam of the rear frame. The crossbeam of the upper frame passes through the connecting sleeves (first type) and is rotatably connected to the rear frame. The upper frame has a locking post, and the upper end of the side frame has a locking sleeve. When the side frame is unfolded, the locking post can be inserted into the locking sleeve.
[0005] This decorative lamp features a simple folding frame structure. For transportation or storage, simply bend the side frames outwards or inwards, bringing the front and rear frames closer together. Then, fold the top frame outwards to align it with the rear frame. This transforms the entire folding lamp frame from a cuboid into a flat plate, increasing its strength in the folded state. With the connecting rods pressed together, it is less prone to breakage or damage. To install the lamp, pull apart the front and rear frames, allowing the side frames to unfold naturally. Straighten the side frames and fold the top frame forward, inserting the locking pins into the locking sleeves of the side frames. The folding lamp frame then transforms into a cuboid. Finally, wrap or attach decorations to the connecting rods, securing the lamp holder inside the frame or wrapping the light string around the connecting rods to complete the installation.
[0006] Furthermore, the side frame includes a rectangular front folding frame and a rear folding frame. Several connecting sleeves are fixed on the front folding frame along the length of the vertical beam. The vertical beam of the rear folding frame passes through the connecting sleeves and is rotatably connected to the front folding frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the front folding frame has the same length and width as the rear folding frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the locking sleeve is fixed to one side of the connecting sleeve.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper frame also includes a cross-shaped reinforcing rib, the four outer ends of which are respectively connected to the side beams of the upper frame, and the locking post is vertically fixed to the cross-shaped reinforcing rib.
[0010] Furthermore, the front frame and the rear frame are fixed with straight reinforcing ribs that connect to the side beams.
[0011] Furthermore, the front frame, rear frame, and upper frame have the same length and width.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting rod is a metal rod, and connecting sleeve one, connecting sleeve two, connecting sleeve three, connecting sleeve four, locking post, and locking sleeve are all made of metal. Connecting sleeve one, connecting sleeve two, connecting sleeve three, connecting sleeve four, locking post, and locking sleeve are fixed to the connecting rod by welding. Beneficial effects
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the folding lamp holder of this decorative lamp has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. It has a simple structure, light weight, and low cost. The folding steps are simple, and it can be folded up quickly for storage and transportation, taking up little space.
[0015] 2. Simply pull apart the front and rear frames and insert the locking pin into the locking sleeve to complete the installation. The installation is quick and easy, requiring no screwdrivers or other installation tools. Attached Figure Description
