A folding structure for a folding chair that is easy to operate, comprising: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a shell 1, a rotating part 2 is provided in the middle of the shell 1; a linkage part 3 is rotatably installed on the rotating part 2, and a plurality of annular evenly distributed installation frames 4 are rotatably provided on the side wall of the linkage part 3; each installation frame 4 is located on the outer surface of the shell 1.

[0023] An external thread is provided on the surface of the rotating member 2, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the linkage member 3; the rotating member 2 and the linkage member 3 are connected to each other by the external thread and the internal thread; a limit member 5 is provided at one end of the rotating member 2, and a rotating member 6 is installed at the other end; the limit member 5 is arranged in the shell 1, and the rotating member 6 is arranged at the bottom end of the shell 1; a clamping groove 7 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 1 near the end of the rotating member 6, and a positioning member 8 installed on the rotating member 2 is provided in the clamping groove 7; a plurality of evenly distributed hanging Hook 9, the hook 9 is arranged just below the mounting frame 4; hooks 9 are also provided on the bottom surface of the linkage member 3 at the position corresponding to each mounting frame 4, and a limiting groove is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting frame 4 at the position corresponding to the hook 9; a protrusion is provided on the top surface of the linkage member 3 at the position corresponding to each mounting frame 4, and the top surface of the protrusion is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the mounting frame 4; mounting members 10 are provided on the outer shell 1 at the position corresponding to no two adjacent mounting frames 4, and symmetrically distributed mounting ears 11 are provided on both side surfaces of the mounting member 10; the mounting ears 11 are rotatably connected to the mounting frame 4.

[0024] A folding chair comprises a seat 12 and the aforementioned folding structure. A plurality of evenly distributed telescopic tubes 13 are provided on the bottom surface of the seat 12. The seat 12 is rotatably mounted on the folding structure via the telescopic tubes 13.

[0025] A connecting piece 14 is installed on the end of the telescopic tube 13 corresponding to the mounting frame 4, and the connecting piece 14 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 4; a supporting leg 15 is connected to the connecting piece 14, and the supporting leg 15 is sleeved on the mounting frame 4; a mounting ring tube 16 is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the seat surface 12, and a tightening belt 17 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting ring tube 16; a fixing piece 18 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting ring tube 16 at the position corresponding to each telescopic tube 13; a groove for accommodating the telescopic tube 13 is provided on the side of the supporting leg 15 facing the telescopic tube 13.

[0026] Working principle: When unfolding, first rotate the rotating part 6 counterclockwise, and the rotating part 6 will drive the rotating part 2 to rotate. Because the rotating part 2 is fixed inside the shell 1 by the limit part 5 and the positioning part 8, the rotating part 2 only rotates and does not move up and down; and because the rotating part 2 is connected to the linkage part 3 by internal and external threads, the rotating part 2 will drive the linkage part 3 to move upward after it rotates. During the upward movement of the linkage part 3, the end of the mounting frame 4 close to the shell 1 will be pushed upward, and the other end of the mounting frame 4 will move downward. Because the mounting frame 4 is rotatably mounted on the shell 1 through the mounting ear 11, the mounting frame 4 will rotate under the joint action of the mounting ear 11 and the linkage part 3; and the support leg 15 is sleeved on the mounting frame 4, so that the mounting frame 4 rotates When the telescopic tube 13 is rotated on the mounting frame 4 by the connecting member 14, the mounting frame 4 can drive the telescopic tube 13 to rotate together, so that all the telescopic tubes 13 can be changed from the gathered state to the expanded state; and when the end of the telescopic tube 13 is turned away, it will drive the mounting ring tube 16 to expand. After the mounting ring tube 16 is expanded, the seat surface 12 can be expanded, so that the entire folding chair can be used; at the same time, when in use, the inclination angle of the seat surface 12 can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the telescopic tube 13 at different positions, thereby adapting to different body types or sitting habits and expanding the scope of application.

[0027] When the folding chair is to be stored, the telescopic tube 13 is first retracted to the shortest distance; then the rotating member 6 is rotated clockwise, so that the rotating member 2 rotates and the linkage member 3 rotates, so that the linkage member 3 moves downward, and the linkage member 3 moves and drives the mounting frame 4 to rotate upward. When the mounting frame 4 rotates upward, it drives the legs 15 to rotate upward together, so that the legs 15 rotate upward and retract; because the telescopic tube 13 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 4 through the connecting member 14, and the legs 15 are provided with a storage groove for storing the telescopic tube 13, During the process of rotating and retracting the legs 15, the telescopic tube 13 will first be hidden in its storage groove, and as the legs 15 continue to retract, the telescopic tube 13 will be driven to rotate upward to fold and retract. When the telescopic tube 13 is folded, the mounting ring tube 16 and the seat 12 will be driven to fold, until all the legs 15 are vertically distributed on the side of the shell 1. Finally, the tightening belt 17 can be used to fix the shell of the folded folding chair. It is very convenient to operate, and the volume of the entire folding chair is minimized in the folded state, which is convenient to carry.
