Abstract

A supporting structure includes a bottom plate, a foldable area, a plurality of side plates, at least one flip segment, and at least one through hole. The side plates are disposed on edges of the bottom plate. Any two of the side plates that are adjacent are connected to each other, and the side plates form an accommodating space. A part of the at least one flip segment can be separated from at least one of the bottom plate and the side plates along a segmenting line. The at least one through hole and the at least one flip segment are disposed on at least one of the bottom plate and the side plates. When the bottom plate is folded along the foldable area, the partially separated flip segment is inserted into the through hole to fix the folded bottom plate and the side plates in position.

         3 . The supporting structure according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one flip segment is flipped along a bending line and toward the at least one through hole. 
     
     
         4 . The supporting structure according to  claim 2 , wherein a number of the at least one flip segment is two, a number of the at least one through hole is two, and the two through holes are respectively disposed on two of the side plates facing each other. 
     
     
         5 . The supporting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one flip segment and the at least one through hole are disposed on one of the side plates, the at least one flip segment is flipped from the one of the side plates along a bending line and toward the at least one through hole, and the bottom plate, which is folded, and the at least one flip segment form a triangular structure. 
     
     
         6 . The supporting structure according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one flip segment is disposed on the bottom plate, the at least one through hole is disposed on one of the side plates, and when the at least one flip segment is inserted into the at least one through hole, the at least one flip segment, the one of the side plates and the base zone form a triangular structure. 
     
     
         7 . The supporting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom plate comprises a long side along a direction, a location of the foldable area is at 35% to 65% of a total length of the long side. 
     
     
         8 . The supporting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the supporting structure is made of paper material and is glue-free. 
     
     
         9 . A displaying frame comprising:
 a display piece for accommodating an object; and   a supporting structure comprising:
 a bottom plate; 
 a foldable area; 
 a plurality of side plates disposed on edges of the bottom plate and forming an accommodating space, any adjacent two of the side plates being connected to each other; 
 at least one flip segment, a part of the at least one flip segment being separable from at least one of the bottom plate and the side plates along a segmenting line; and 
 at least one through hole, wherein the at least one through hole and the at least one flip segment are disposed on the at least one of the bottom plate and the side plates; 
   wherein the bottom plate is foldable along the foldable area, and the at least one flip segment is inserted into the at least one through hole to fix the bottom plate and the side plates in position.   
     
     
         10 . The displaying frame according to  claim 9 , wherein the display piece comprises:
 a first layer being frame-like and comprising a plurality of studs extending toward a center of the display piece;   a plurality of second layers being frame-like and comprising a plurality of via holes corresponding to the plurality of studs; and   a third layer being frame-like and comprising a plurality of positioning holes for the studs to pass through;   wherein the first layer, the second layers and the third layer are arranged sequentially, and the studs respectively pass through the via holes and the positioning holes and bend to fit in the third layer.   
     
     
         11 . The displaying frame according to  claim 10 , wherein the first layer, the second layers and the third layer have different widths and are arranged sequentially with increasing widths. 
     
     
         12 . The displaying frame according to  claim 9 , wherein when the bottom plate is folded along the foldable area, the accommodating space is divided into a support zone and a base zone, there is an included angle between the support zone and the base zone, the at least one flip segment is disposed in one of the support zone and the base zone, and the at least one through hole is correspondingly disposed in another one of the support zone and the base zone. 
     
     
         13 . The displaying frame according to  claim 12 , wherein,
 when the bottom plate is unfolded, the accommodating space accommodates the display piece and the object;   when the bottom plate is folded along the foldable area, one end of the display piece is abutted against the base zone, and another end of the display piece is supported by the support zone.   
     
     
         14 . The displaying frame according to  claim 12 , wherein the at least one flip segment is flipped along a bending line and toward the at least one through hole.
