Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present invention.


The following further describes the present invention in detail in combination with the drawings in the specification and the embodiments.


Embodiment 1

As shown in FIGS. 1-7, a doll storage rack capable of changing shapes includes two main frames 1. The main frames 1 are designed with ergonomic dimensions, rounded corners without sharp angles, and a safe and stable structural design to ensure the safety and comfort of children during use.


The two main frames 1 are equipped with a top connecting rod 2, a first intermediate connecting rod 3, a second intermediate connecting rod 5, a third intermediate connecting rod 7, and a fourth intermediate connecting rod 10. The number of the first intermediate connecting rod 3, the second intermediate connecting rod 5, the third intermediate connecting rod 7, and the fourth intermediate connecting rod 10 is two respectively, and they are symmetrical about the center of the main frame 1. The top connecting rod 2, the first intermediate connecting rod 3, the second intermediate connecting rod 5, the third intermediate connecting rod 7, and the fourth intermediate connecting rod 10 are all connected to the two main frames 1 by bolts, enabling the whole device to be quickly assembled and facilitating transportation during moving.


A hidden placing plate 4, an upper placing plate 6, various types of placing plates 8, and a bottom placing plate 11 are arranged between the two main frames 1. By using the hidden placing plate 4, the upper placing plate 6, the various types of placing plates 8, and the bottom placing plate 11, it is convenient to carry books, toys, or other items that need to be stored.


Two multi-functional storage mechanisms 14 are placed on the upper surface of the bottom placing plate 11. The multi-functional storage mechanism 14 includes a cover plate 1406. The multi-functional storage mechanism 14 also includes an octagonal storage cloth 1401. Eight lifting hard boards 1402 are installed inside the octagonal storage cloth 1401. The bottom surface of the octagonal storage cloth 1401 is fixedly connected with a bearing cloth 1403. The eight lifting hard boards 1402 can play a supporting role when the octagonal storage cloth 1401 is placed vertically, and their main function is to bear the stress when a child sits.


The bottom surface of the cover plate 1406 is fixedly connected with a cloth sleeve 1406. The inner wall of the cloth sleeve 1407 is in contact with the outer surface of the octagonal storage cloth 1401. By using the cloth sleeve 1407, it is more convenient to position the cover plate 1406, making the cover plate 1406 more firmly sleeved on the outer surface of the octagonal storage cloth 1401.


The multi-functional storage mechanism 14 also includes a supporting ring 1404. The supporting ring 1404 is placed on the upper surface of the bearing cloth 1403. The bottom surface of the supporting ring 1404 is fixedly connected with a bottom supporting plate 1405. By using the cooperation between the supporting ring 1404 and the bottom supporting plate 1405, the bottom of the octagonal storage cloth 1401 can be reinforced, so that the octagonal storage cloth 1401 made of cloth can have stress support at its bottom.


Doll covers are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two main frames 1. A reinforcing frame 13 is installed on the upper surface of the hidden placing plate 4. The set reinforcing frame 13 can reinforce the head of the doll cover.


Doll foot-shaped patterns are pasted on the outer surface of the cover plate 1406.


Preferably, two vertical partition plates 9 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the various types of placing plates 8. Both of the two vertical partition plates 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the upper placing plate 6. By using the two vertical partition plates 9, the storage space between the upper placing plate 6 and the various types of placing plates 8 can be divided to better separate books or items. Two bottom feet 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the two main frames 1. By using the bottom feet 12, it can avoid the doll cover from directly contacting the ground. Its outer surface is prone to attaching dust and getting dirty.


The doll cover is a teddy bear coat 15, the doll foot-shaped pattern is teddy bear footprints 17, and the teddy bear coat 15 is connected with a teddy bear face mask 16 by magnetic blocks. The doll cover is a piglet coat 18, the doll foot-shaped pattern is piglet footprints 20, and the piglet coat 18 is connected with a piglet face mask 19 by magnetic blocks. The doll cover is a puppy coat 21, the doll foot-shaped pattern is puppy footprints 23, and the puppy coat 21 is connected with a puppy face mask 22 by magnetic blocks. The teddy bear coat 15 and the teddy bear face mask 16, the piglet coat 18 and the piglet face mask 19, and the puppy coat 21 and the puppy face mask 22 are all connected by magnetic blocks. This is an existing mature technology, which can conveniently open to place some items or toys that need to be hidden and stored above the hidden placing plate 4, form a private protection space for children, and is more beautiful.
