Description

[Revised according to Rule 26, April 2025] A sand table for art design Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of art and design technology, specifically to a sand table for art and design. Background Technology

[0002] A sand table is a model made of sand and other materials based on a topographic map. It is divided into topographic sand tables, architectural sand tables, electronic sand tables, etc.; while an art and design sand table, as the name suggests, is a sand table used to display works of art.

[0003] Existing art and design sand tables have the following drawbacks. Specifically, artworks come in a wide variety of types, such as two-dimensional paintings and three-dimensional sculptures. Some of these artworks have regular shapes, while others have irregular shapes. Existing fixing structures, such as clamping structures, are not suitable for fixing all types of artworks onto the sand table, making them inconvenient to use. In addition, to prevent the brightness of the light from affecting the display of the artworks, supplementary lights are often installed on the sand table. However, the switches of these supplementary lights usually need to be manually controlled, and they cannot automatically determine whether to illuminate based on whether there are artworks on the sand table, making them inflexible and inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the above problems, this invention provides an art design sand table that facilitates the fixing of artworks of different shapes and can automatically determine whether lighting is needed based on whether the artwork is on the sand table.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An art and design sand table includes:

[0009] The mounting base has a lighting component and multiple evenly distributed through holes. The center of the mounting base has a groove, and the inside of the groove has an elastic component and a power supply device. The elastic force direction of the elastic component is parallel to the extension direction of the groove. The power supply device is electrically connected to the lighting component. The top of the power supply device has two circuit breaker protrusions.

[0010] Multiple rods are provided, each rod being insertable into the through hole, and each rod is provided with a limiting component to prevent the rod from moving downward and disengaging from the through hole;

[0011] An insulating component is provided, with its bottom connected to the elastic component and its side slidably connected to the groove. The bottom of the insulating component is provided with a conductive component corresponding to two of the circuit-breaking protrusions. In its natural state, there is a gap between the conductive component and the two circuit-breaking protrusions. After the conductive component and the two circuit-breaking protrusions abut against each other, the lighting component, the power supply device, the conductive component, and the two circuit-breaking protrusions can form a complete circuit, and the top of the insulating component is higher than or flush with the top of the mounting base.

[0012] A support assembly is disposed at the bottom of the mounting base.

[0013] Preferably, the support component includes:

[0014] The first support base has multiple evenly distributed pulleys at its bottom and an electric telescopic rod in its middle. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod can pass through the bottom of the first support base and move downward.

[0015] The second support is located below the first support, and the top of the second support is connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod. The maximum thickness of the second support is less than the height of the pulley, so that the second support can be brought into contact with the ground or suspended in the air by the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod.

[0016] Preferably, the lighting assembly includes a plurality of lamp beads, all of which are embedded in the top of the mounting base and electrically connected to the power supply device.

[0017] Preferably, the elastic component includes a plurality of spring telescopic rods, all of which are vertically arranged and evenly distributed inside the groove, so that the insulating member is subjected to uniform force.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting component includes:

[0019] Multiple limiting holes are provided on the rod body and arranged in a linear array along the extension direction of the rod body;

[0020] A limiting rod is provided, which can be inserted into the limiting hole, and the length of the limiting rod is greater than the length of the limiting hole, so as to prevent the rod from moving downward and disengaging from the through hole;

[0021] A limiting block is provided on the limiting rod and extends downward. The limiting block can be inserted into the through hole to prevent the limiting rod from moving horizontally and disengaging from the limiting hole.

[0022] Preferably, it also includes a connector, which is basically inverted U-shaped, and the vertical part of the connector can be inserted into the through hole to connect two different art design sand tables.

[0023] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0025] When fixing artworks, since there are multiple through holes on the mounting base, regardless of whether the artwork is regular in shape or not, the corresponding through hole can be found at the boundary position of the artwork. The artwork can then be fixed by the rod, which can fix more types of artworks and has a wider range of applications.

[0026] When placing the artwork, its bottom should touch the insulating part. Under the weight of the artwork, the elastic component will shorten, and the insulating part will move down along the groove, causing the conductive part to touch the two broken protrusions. At this time, the power supply device can supply power to the lighting component, so that the lighting component can automatically turn on and provide supplemental lighting after the artwork is placed. After the artwork is removed, the insulating part and the conductive part will automatically reset under the elastic force of the elastic component, and the circuit will change from a closed circuit to an open circuit again, causing the lighting component to automatically turn off.

[0040] Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0042] Referring to Figures 1-10, this embodiment of the invention discloses an art design sand table, including a mounting base 1, multiple rods 2, an insulating component 3, and a support assembly 4. The mounting base 1 is provided with a lighting assembly 5 and multiple evenly distributed through holes 11. A groove 12 is provided in the center of the mounting base 1, and an elastic component 6 and a power supply device 7 are provided inside the groove 12. The power supply device 7 is electrically connected to the lighting assembly 5, and two circuit-breaking protrusions 71 are provided on the top of the power supply device 7. The rods 2 can be inserted into the through holes 11, and a limiting component 8 is provided on the rods 2. The insulating component 3... The bottom is connected to the elastic component 6 and the side is connected to the sliding groove 12. The bottom of the insulating component 3 is provided with a conductive component 9 that corresponds to two circuit-breaking protrusions 71. In the natural state, there is a gap between the conductive component 9 and the two circuit-breaking protrusions 71. After the conductive component 9 and the two circuit-breaking protrusions 71 come into contact, the lighting component 5, the power supply device 7, the conductive component 9 and the two circuit-breaking protrusions 71 can form a passage. The top of the insulating component 3 is higher than or flush with the top of the mounting base 1 to prevent the conductive component 9 from failing to contact the circuit-breaking protrusions 71. The support component 4 is set at the bottom of the mounting base 1.

[0043] In practical use, the mounting base 1 is supported by the support component 4, and then the artwork is placed on the mounting base 1. Next, the rod 2 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 11 according to the position of the artwork. The limiting component 8 then prevents the rod 2 from moving further down, thus fixing the artwork. Since there are multiple through holes 11, regardless of the regularity of the artwork's shape, the corresponding through hole 11 can be found at the boundary of the artwork, thereby limiting and fixing the artwork through the rod 2, thus expanding its applicability. When placing the artwork, its bottom should abut against the insulating component 3. Under the weight of the artwork, the insulating component 3 will prevent the artwork from moving further down. Insulating component 3 moves down along groove 12, and elastic component 6 shortens, causing conductive component 9 to abut against two disconnected protrusions 71. At this time, power supply device 7 can supply power to lighting component 5, so that lighting component 5 can automatically turn on and provide supplemental lighting after the artwork is placed. After the artwork is removed, insulating component 3 and conductive component 9 will automatically reset under the elastic force of elastic component 6, and the circuit will change from a closed circuit to a disconnected circuit again, so that lighting component 5 will automatically turn off. In general, by using this art design sand table, it is easy to fix artworks of different shapes, and the lighting can be automatically determined based on whether the artwork is on the sand table.

[0044] It should be noted that when the conductive element 9 and the circuit breaker protrusion 71 come into contact, the elastic force generated by the elastic component 6 should be less than the total weight of the insulating element 3 and the artwork, so that the conductive element 9 can come into contact with the circuit breaker protrusion 71 after the artwork is placed.

[0045] For the support assembly 4, when the electric telescopic rod 44 is shortened, the pulley 43 at the bottom of the first support 41 touches the ground when the second support 42 is suspended, making it easy to move; when the electric telescopic rod 44 is extended, the second support 42 touches the ground when the pulley 43 is suspended, making it easy to fix; when the electric telescopic rod 44 is extended further, the height of the mounting base 1 can also be adjusted.

[0046] Furthermore, a sleeve-shaped connecting seat 45 can be provided on the electric telescopic rod 44, and the mounting seat 1 can be rotatably connected to the connecting seat 45 to facilitate adjustment of the viewing angle of the artwork.

[0047] When the lighting component 5 is working, multiple LED beads 51 will emit light simultaneously to provide uniform and all-round supplementary lighting for the artwork; in addition, since the LED beads 51 are embedded in the mounting base 1, the artwork and the LED beads 51 will not collide and be damaged.

[0048] For the elastic component 6, the insulating component 3 will move downward after being subjected to the pressure of the artwork, causing the spring telescopic rod 61 to compress and accumulate elastic potential energy. After the artwork is removed, the spring telescopic rod 61 releases the elastic potential energy, which can reset the insulating component 3, that is, the conductive component 9 and the two disconnected protrusions 71 separate again.

[0049] When limiting the rod 2, insert the rod 2 into the through hole 11, adjust the length of the rod 2 above the mounting base 1 according to the size of the artwork, and then insert the limiting rod 82 into the limiting hole 81 that is flush with the upper surface of the mounting base 1 to prevent the rod 2 from moving further down; in addition, since the limiting rod 82 is provided with a limiting block 83 that can be inserted into the through hole 11, it can prevent the limiting rod 82 from moving horizontally.

[0050] When multiple artworks need to be displayed, the vertical part 101 on the connector 10 can be inserted into the through hole 11 on different mounting bases 1, thereby splicing together different art designs in the sand table and increasing the overall display area of ​​the sand table.

[0051] Furthermore, the length of the vertical part 101 can be extended so that different mounting seats 1 can be staggered in the vertical direction; it can also be made so that there is a gap between two adjacent mounting seats 1 after they are connected by the connector 10, thereby avoiding collision between the two mounting seats 1 during the up and down movement.

[0052] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular implementations only and is not intended to limit the exemplary implementations according to this application.

[0053] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
