Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0023] Example 1: This embodiment provides a folding bracket, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the assembly includes a crossbar assembly 1 and two symmetrically arranged folding assemblies 2. Each folding assembly 2 includes a fixed base 3, at least two support legs 4, and at least two support rods 5. The fixed base 3 is connected to the crossbar assembly 1. The support legs 4 and support rods 5 are hinged to the fixed base 3. Each support leg 4 and support rod 5 is fitted with a limiting sleeve 6. The fixed base 3 is provided with an outwardly extending positioning element 7, which is fixedly connected to the fixed base 3. In the unfolded state, the limiting sleeve 6 is fitted onto the positioning element 7. In this embodiment, two support legs 4 are provided on each side, and two support rods 5 are provided on each side. The fixed base 3 is cylindrical with one end face recessed to mate with one end of the crossbar assembly 1. The support legs 4 on both sides are staggered in the circumferential direction of the fixed base 3, and the support rods 5 on both sides are staggered in the circumferential direction of the fixed base 3. The positioning element 7 is stepped, and the bottom surface of the limiting sleeve 6 is in contact with one of the stepped surfaces of the positioning element 7.

[0024] The limiting sleeve 6 can slide relative to the support leg 4 or support rod 5. The limiting sleeve 6 is used to fix the positioning piece 7 to the support leg 4 or support rod 5. The limiting sleeve 6 only needs to wrap around the support leg 4 and the positioning piece 7, as well as the support rod 5 and the positioning piece 7, to both restrict the rotation of the support leg 4 and support rod 5 after unfolding and improve the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity in the unfolded state. When folding, simply pull out the limiting sleeve 6 to detach it from the positioning piece 7, and the support leg 4 and support rod 5 can be folded inward, making it convenient to use. In the unfolded state, the limiting sleeve 6 simultaneously covers the positioning piece 7 and the support leg 4, preventing the support leg 4 from rotating freely. Similarly, the limiting sleeve 6 also simultaneously covers the positioning piece 7 and the support rod 5, preventing the support rod 5 from rotating freely, ensuring reliable unfolding.

[0025] To ensure reliable fixation of the limiting sleeve 6, the limiting sleeve 6 is provided with an elastic element 9 in a stretched state. One end of the elastic element 9 is connected to the limiting sleeve 6, and the other end is connected to the support leg 4 or the support rod 5. When the elastic element 9 is in a stretched state, one end of the elastic element 9 pulls on the limiting sleeve 6, and the other end pulls on the support leg 4 or the support rod 5, giving the limiting sleeve 6 a tendency to move towards the positioning element 7. This allows the limiting sleeve 6 to automatically fit onto the positioning element 7, ensuring the reliability of the unfolded structure and preventing the limiting sleeve 6 from slipping out.

[0026] In this embodiment, the elastic element 9 is a spring; the elastic element 9 located on the support leg 4 is connected to the support leg 4, and the elastic element 9 located on the support rod 5 is connected to the support rod 5; the elastic element 9 is located between the limiting sleeve 6 and the crossbar assembly 1.

[0027] To ensure the reliable use of the elastic element 9, both the support leg 4 and the support rod 5 are equipped with guide rails 19, and the limiting sleeve 6 is equipped with a sliding block 20 that cooperates with the guide rail 19. The sliding block 20 is connected to both the limiting sleeve 6 and the elastic element 9. The support leg 4 and the support rod 5 are rotatably connected to the positioning element 7 via a rotating shaft 21. The other end of the elastic element 9 is connected to the rotating shaft 21, which is located between the limiting sleeve 6 and the crossbar assembly 1. The guide rail 19 and the sliding block 20 cooperate to guide the movement of the limiting sleeve 6. At the same time, the guide rail 19 is used to connect with the elastic element 9 to ensure the tension of the elastic element 9 on the limiting sleeve 6.

[0028] In this embodiment, the support leg 4 and the support rod 5 are round tubes; the guide rail 19 has a long waist hole that penetrates the two side walls of the support leg 4 and the support rod 5; the sliding block 20 is a round rod that passes through the long waist hole and its two ends protrude through the long waist hole and connect with the limiting sleeve 6; the elastic element 9 is located inside the round tube.

[0029] To make the seat more comfortable and more compact when folded, two symmetrically arranged support rods 5 form a pair, and at least one pair of support rods 5 adopts a telescopic type, such as a conventional sleeve telescopic type. When the extension is in place, a tumbler lock is used, similar to the folding handle of a folding umbrella.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pair of support rods 5 are telescopic. When unfolded, one pair of support rods 5 is high and the other pair is low, so that the arrangement of the seat fabric is also from high to low, which is more in line with the human body's sitting and lying posture and is more comfortable to use.

[0031] To facilitate folding, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the crossbar assembly 1 includes a left sleeve 12, a right sleeve 13, and a connector 14. The left sleeve 12 and right sleeve 13 are arranged to the left and right of the connector 14. The left sleeve 12 and / or right sleeve 13 are rotatably connected to the connector 14. The outward-facing ends of the left sleeve 12 and right sleeve 13 are connected to the fixed base 3. By rotating the left sleeve 12 and right sleeve 13 relative to each other, the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides can be misaligned to prevent interference between the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides during folding, thus reducing the space occupied after folding.

[0032] In this embodiment, both the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 are rotatably connected to the connector 14. Of course, it is also possible that the left sleeve 12 is rotatably connected to the connector 14 and the right sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the connector 14, or the right sleeve 13 is rotatably connected to the connector 14 and the left sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the connector 14. All of these can achieve the function of the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides being misaligned.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connector 14, left sleeve 12, and right sleeve 13 are all round tubes, which are easy to procure and have low cost. The left sleeve 12 is fitted onto the connector 14, and the right sleeve 13 is fitted onto the connector 14, which is a fitting design that facilitates assembly. The diameters of the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 are the same, and the right end face of the left sleeve 12 fits against the left end face of the right sleeve 13, making the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 appear as a single piece, resulting in a simple appearance. The fitting of the end faces of the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 prevents the user's fingers from getting stuck between the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13, improving safety. Of course, the connector 14 can also be a solid cylinder to improve structural strength. The left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 are on the same straight line, which is aesthetically pleasing and has good structural strength. The left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 are symmetrically arranged relative to the connector 14, resulting in balanced forces on both sides and extending service life.

[0034] To ensure reliable rotation of the left sleeve 12, a first rotation groove 15 is provided on the left sleeve 12. The first rotation groove 15 is arranged circumferentially on the left sleeve 12. A first limiting member 16 is provided on the connecting member 14 to cooperate with the first rotation groove 15. One end of the first limiting member 16 is located on the first rotation groove 15, and the other end is connected to the connecting member 14. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 16 is a cylinder, and the first rotation groove 15 is an elongated hole. The cooperation between the first rotation groove 15 and the first limiting member 16 restricts the rotation angle of the left sleeve 12, facilitating the user's rotation operation, while preventing rotation beyond the range and ensuring that the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides can be staggered after rotation. The circumferential arrangement of the first rotation groove 15 ensures reliable circumferential rotation of the left sleeve 12, and the part of the first limiting member 16 is located within the first rotation groove 15 to prevent the left sleeve 12 from coming out.

[0035] To ensure reliable rotation of the right sleeve 13, a second rotation groove 17 is provided on the right sleeve 13. The second rotation groove 17 is arranged circumferentially on the right sleeve 13. A second limiting member 18 is provided on the connecting member 14 to cooperate with the second rotation groove 17. One end of the second limiting member 18 is located on the second rotation groove 17, and the other end is connected to the connecting member 14. In this embodiment, the second limiting member 18 is a cylinder, and the second rotation groove 17 is an elongated hole. The cooperation between the second rotation groove 17 and the second limiting member 18 restricts the rotation angle of the right sleeve 13, facilitating the user's rotation operation, while preventing rotation beyond the range and ensuring that the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides can be staggered after rotation. The circumferential arrangement of the second rotation groove 17 ensures reliable circumferential rotation of the right sleeve 13, and the part of the second limiting member 18 is located within the second rotation groove 17 to prevent the right sleeve 13 from coming out.

[0036] When the left sleeve 12 rotates alone, a first rotation groove 15 is provided on the left sleeve 12, while a second rotation groove 17 is not provided on the right sleeve 13; when the right sleeve 13 rotates alone, a second rotation groove 17 is provided on the right sleeve 13, while a first rotation groove 15 is not provided on the left sleeve 12; in this embodiment, the first rotation groove 15 of the left sleeve 12 and the second rotation groove 17 of the right sleeve 13 are arranged simultaneously, so that the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 can rotate at the same time, and the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 have the same structure, which is convenient for processing and assembly.

[0037] Example 2: This embodiment provides a folding bracket, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the assembly includes a crossbar assembly 1 and two symmetrically arranged folding assemblies 2. Each folding assembly 2 includes a fixed base 3, at least two support legs 4, and at least two support rods 5. The fixed base 3 is connected to the crossbar assembly 1. Both support legs 4 and support rods 5 are hinged to the fixed base 3. Limiting sleeves 6 are fitted onto both support legs 4 and support rods 5. The fixed base 3 has outwardly extending positioning elements 7, which are fixedly connected to the fixed base 3. In the unfolded state, the limiting sleeves 6 are fitted onto the positioning elements 7. In this embodiment, two support legs 4 are provided on each side, and two support rods 5 are provided on each side. The fixed base 3 is cylindrical with one end face recessed to mate with one end of the crossbar assembly 1. The support legs 4 on both sides are staggered in the circumferential direction of the fixed base 3, and the support rods 5 on both sides are staggered in the circumferential direction of the fixed base 3.

[0038] The limiting sleeve 6 can slide relative to the support leg 4 or support rod 5. The limiting sleeve 6 is used to fix the positioning piece 7 to the support leg 4 or support rod 5. The limiting sleeve 6 only needs to wrap around the support leg 4 and the positioning piece 7, as well as the support rod 5 and the positioning piece 7, to both restrict the rotation of the support leg 4 and support rod 5 after unfolding and improve the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity in the unfolded state. When folding, simply pull out the limiting sleeve 6 to detach it from the positioning piece 7, and the support leg 4 and support rod 5 can be folded inward, making it convenient to use. In the unfolded state, the limiting sleeve 6 simultaneously covers the positioning piece 7 and the support leg 4, preventing the support leg 4 from rotating freely. Similarly, the limiting sleeve 6 also simultaneously covers the positioning piece 7 and the support rod 5, preventing the support rod 5 from rotating freely, ensuring reliable unfolding.

[0039] To ensure reliable installation of the limiting sleeve 6, both the support leg 4 and the support rod 5 are equipped with blocking elements 8, and the limiting sleeve 6 is located between the blocking element 8 and the fixing seat 3. The blocking element 8 is used to block the limiting sleeve 6 and prevent it from detaching from the support leg 4 and the support rod 5.

[0040] To ensure reliable engagement of the limiting sleeve 6 with the positioning member 7, an elastic member 9 in a compressed state is provided between the blocking member 8 and the limiting sleeve 6. One end of the elastic member 9 is in contact with the blocking member 8, and the other end is in contact with the limiting sleeve 6. The elastic member 9 is used to push the limiting sleeve 6, giving it a tendency to move towards the positioning member 7, thus enabling the limiting sleeve 6 to automatically engage with the positioning member 7 and ensuring the reliability of the unfolded structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the elastic element 9 is a compression spring; the blocking element 8 is annular and sleeved on the support leg 4 or support rod 5. The annular area is large, the blocking effect is good, and one end of the compression spring can be fully attached to the blocking element 8, providing better support.

[0042] To ensure the reliability of the positioning component 7, it is a semi-circular tube with its radial opening facing the center of the crossbar assembly 1. In the unfolded state, both the support legs 4 and the support rods 5 are in contact with the inner diameter surface of the semi-circular tube; both the support legs 4 and the support rods 5 are hinged to the semi-circular tube. In this embodiment, the angle between the semi-circular tube and the crossbar assembly 1 is greater than 90°, which means that in the unfolded state, the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides open outwards, resulting in better stability for the support legs 4, easier fabric placement on the support rods 5, and a larger fabric area, making it more comfortable for the user to sit or lie down; the support legs 4 and support rods 5 are made of circular tubes. The good fit between the semi-circular tube positioning component 7 and the support legs 4 and support rods 5, with a large contact area, results in good support.

[0043] To make the seat more comfortable and more compact when folded, two symmetrically arranged support rods 5 form a pair, and at least one pair of support rods 5 adopts a telescopic type, such as a conventional sleeve telescopic type. When the extension is in place, a tumbler lock is used, similar to the folding handle of a folding umbrella.

[0044] In this embodiment, the pair of support rods 5 are telescopic. When unfolded, one pair of support rods 5 is high and the other pair is low, so that the arrangement of the seat fabric is also from high to low, which is more in line with the human body's sitting and lying posture and is more comfortable to use.

[0045] To ensure the structural reliability of the limiting sleeve 6, a baffle 10 is provided on the side of the limiting sleeve 6 away from the fixed base 3. The baffle 10 has a through hole 11 to accommodate the support leg 4 or the support rod 5. The design of the baffle 10 allows one end of the compression spring to fully fit against the baffle 10, providing better support. At the same time, it prevents the positioning member 7 from passing through the limiting sleeve 6, thus serving as a limiting device for the installation of the limiting sleeve 6.

[0046] To facilitate folding, the crossbar assembly 1 includes a left sleeve 12, a right sleeve 13, and a connector 14. The left sleeve 12 and right sleeve 13 are arranged to the left and right of the connector 14. The left sleeve 12 and / or right sleeve 13 are rotatably connected to the connector 14, and the outward-facing ends of the left sleeve 12 and right sleeve 13 are connected to the fixed base 3. The relative rotation between the left sleeve 12 and right sleeve 13 allows the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides to be misaligned, preventing interference between them during folding and reducing space occupation after folding.

[0047] In this embodiment, both the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 are rotatably connected to the connector 14. Of course, it is also possible that the left sleeve 12 is rotatably connected to the connector 14 and the right sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the connector 14, or the right sleeve 13 is rotatably connected to the connector 14 and the left sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the connector 14. All of these can achieve the function of the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides being misaligned.

[0048] In this embodiment, the connector 14, left sleeve 12, and right sleeve 13 are all round tubes, which are easy to procure and have low cost. The left sleeve 12 is fitted onto the connector 14, and the right sleeve 13 is fitted onto the connector 14, which is a fitting design that facilitates assembly. The diameters of the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 are the same, and the right end face of the left sleeve 12 fits against the left end face of the right sleeve 13, making the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 appear as a single piece, resulting in a simple appearance. The fitting of the end faces of the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 prevents the user's fingers from getting stuck between the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13, improving safety. Of course, the connector 14 can also be a solid cylinder to improve structural strength. The left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 are on the same straight line, which is aesthetically pleasing and has good structural strength. The left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 are symmetrically arranged relative to the connector 14, resulting in balanced forces on both sides and extending service life.

[0049] To ensure reliable rotation of the left sleeve 12, such as Figure 8As shown, the left sleeve 12 is provided with a first rotating groove 15, which is arranged circumferentially around the left sleeve 12. The connector 14 is provided with a first limiting member 16 that cooperates with the first rotating groove 15. One end of the first limiting member 16 is located on the first rotating groove 15, and the other end is connected to the connector 14. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 16 is a cylinder, and the first rotating groove 15 is an elongated hole. The cooperation between the first rotating groove 15 and the first limiting member 16 restricts the rotation angle of the left sleeve 12, which facilitates the user's rotation operation and prevents the rotation from exceeding the range, ensuring that the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides can be staggered after rotation. The circumferential arrangement of the first rotating groove 15 can ensure reliable circumferential rotation of the left sleeve 12. The part of the first limiting member 16 is inside the first rotating groove 15, which can prevent the left sleeve 12 from coming out.

[0050] To ensure reliable rotation of the right sleeve 13, a second rotation groove 17 is provided on the right sleeve 13. The second rotation groove 17 is arranged circumferentially on the right sleeve 13. A second limiting member 18 is provided on the connecting member 14 to cooperate with the second rotation groove 17. One end of the second limiting member 18 is located on the second rotation groove 17, and the other end is connected to the connecting member 14. In this embodiment, the second limiting member 18 is a cylinder, and the second rotation groove 17 is an elongated hole. The cooperation between the second rotation groove 17 and the second limiting member 18 restricts the rotation angle of the right sleeve 13, facilitating the user's rotation operation, while preventing rotation beyond the range and ensuring that the support legs 4 and support rods 5 on both sides can be staggered after rotation. The circumferential arrangement of the second rotation groove 17 ensures reliable circumferential rotation of the right sleeve 13, and the part of the second limiting member 18 is located within the second rotation groove 17 to prevent the right sleeve 13 from coming out.

[0051] When the left sleeve 12 rotates alone, a first rotation groove 15 is provided on the left sleeve 12, while a second rotation groove 17 is not provided on the right sleeve 13; when the right sleeve 13 rotates alone, a second rotation groove 17 is provided on the right sleeve 13, while a first rotation groove 15 is not provided on the left sleeve 12; in this embodiment, the first rotation groove 15 of the left sleeve 12 and the second rotation groove 17 of the right sleeve 13 are arranged simultaneously, so that the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 can rotate at the same time, and the left sleeve 12 and the right sleeve 13 have the same structure, which is convenient for processing and assembly.

[0052] The remaining technical features are the same as in Example 1.

[0053] Example 3: This embodiment provides a folding bracket, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, the assembly includes a crossbar assembly 1 and two symmetrically arranged folding assemblies 2. Each folding assembly 2 includes a fixed base 3, at least two support legs 4, and at least two support rods 5. The fixed base 3 is connected to the crossbar assembly 1, and the support legs 4 and support rods 5 are hinged to the fixed base 3. The fixed base 3 has an outwardly extending positioning element 7, which is fixedly connected to the fixed base 3. A limiting sleeve 6 is fitted onto the positioning element 7. In the unfolded state, the limiting sleeve 6 simultaneously fits onto the positioning element 7 and the support legs 4, as well as onto the positioning element 7 and the support rods 5. In this embodiment, two support legs 4 are provided on each side, and two support rods 5 are provided on each side. The fixed base 3 is cylindrical with one end face recessed to mate with one end of the crossbar assembly 1. The support legs 4 on both sides are staggered in the circumferential direction of the fixed base 3, and the support rods 5 on both sides are staggered in the circumferential direction of the fixed base 3.

[0054] The limiting sleeve 6 can slide relative to the positioning component 7; when folding, simply pull out the limiting sleeve 6 to detach it from the support leg 4 and the support rod 5, and the support leg 4 and the support rod 5 can be folded inward, making it convenient to use; in the unfolded state, the limiting sleeve 6 simultaneously covers the positioning component 7 and the support leg 4, preventing the support leg 4 from rotating freely. Similarly, the limiting sleeve 6 also simultaneously covers the positioning component 7 and the support rod 5, preventing the support rod 5 from rotating freely, ensuring reliable unfolding.

[0055] To ensure reliable installation of the limiting sleeve 6, a blocking element 8 is provided on the positioning member 7, and the limiting sleeve 6 is located between the blocking element 8 and the fixing base 3. The blocking element 8 is used to block the limiting sleeve 6 and prevent the limiting sleeve 6 from coming off the positioning member 7.

[0056] To ensure reliable engagement of the limiting sleeve 6, an elastic element 9 in a compressed state is provided between the limiting sleeve 6 and the fixed base 3. One end of the elastic element 9 is in contact with the limiting sleeve 6, and the other end is in contact with the fixed base 3. The elastic element 9 is used to push the limiting sleeve 6, giving it a tendency to move towards the blocking element 8, thus allowing the limiting sleeve 6 to automatically engage with the support leg 4 or support rod 5, ensuring the reliability of the unfolding structure.

[0057] In this embodiment, the elastic element 9 is a compression spring; the blocking element 8 is semi-circular and located at the end of the positioning element 7 away from the fixed seat 3. The semi-circular area is large, the blocking effect is good, and it will not block the rotation of the support leg 4 or the support rod 5.

[0058] The remaining technical features are the same as in Example 2.

[0059] Example 4: This embodiment provides a folding chair, including a folding bracket as described in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3.
