  The present invention relates to a rotating photo frame, and in particular, by providing a driving means and a support fixedly connected to the driving means in the interior thereof, it automatically rotates around the support by driving of the driving means. It relates to possible auto-rotating photo frames.

As crafts grow day by day, hobby and entertainment requirements for crafts are increasing, and many crafts develop from static to dynamic. The photographic frame has also gradually evolved from a conventional planar structure of a single photographic surface to a three-dimensional structure having a plurality of photographic surfaces, and the three-dimensional structure can be rotated so that viewers can operate separately. All photos can be viewed without it, and the hobby of photo frames is enhanced. Usually, a conventional rotating photo frame is attached to an external support base, and is driven by a driving means provided on the support base so that the photo frame rotates around the support base.
However, the photo frame is mechanically connected to the support base via a connection member and cannot be arbitrarily separated from the support base. Needless to say, this is disadvantageous for enhancing the hobby and entertainment of the craft. Furthermore, the support base also increases the volume of the photo frame and at the same time limits the modeling hobby of the photo frame.

  In the present invention, a drive means and a support body fixedly connected to the drive means are provided in the inside thereof, so that the relative rotation can be automatically performed around the support body on an arbitrary object, and it is specially specified. It is an object of the present invention to provide a self-rotating photo frame that is easy to carry without simplifying the structure of the rotating photo frame, making the rotating photo frame more hobby and entertaining, without arranging a support base. And

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the automatic rotating photo frame of the present invention includes a photo frame main body, a support, driving means connected to the support, and a fixed connection to the photo frame main body connected to the driving means. The supporting body, the driving means, and the actuator are all housed in the photo frame main body. The photo frame main body has a frame frame and a cover plate mounted in the frame frame, and the photo frame main body is provided with an opening for exposing the support. The driving means has a main body and an output shaft extending from the main body, and the main body of the driving means has a motor and a battery mounting seat electrically connected to the motor.
