[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the foldable backrest stool according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a stool body frame 100, a backrest frame 200 and a pivot assembly 300, wherein the backrest frame 200 is located on one side of the stool body frame 100. Support cloth or support plate (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the stool body frame 100 and the backrest frame 200, so that the user can sit down and lie down.

[0030] The pivot assembly 300 includes a first joint component 310, a second joint component 320 and a snap structure 330. The first joint component 310 is arranged on the backrest frame 200, and the second joint component 320 is arranged on the stool frame 100. The first joint component 310 and the second joint component 320 are movably connected so that the first joint component 310 and the second joint component 320 can rotate relative to each other around the positioning axis a. The snap structure 330 is arranged at the connection between the first joint component 310 and the second joint component 320. The first joint component 310 has a connecting portion 311 and a locking portion 312. The width of the projection of the connecting portion 311 along the direction of the positioning axis a is greater than the width of the projection of the locking portion 312 along the direction of the positioning axis a. One side of the second joint component 320 has an installation cavity 323 for accommodating the connecting portion 311 and a locking cavity 324 for accommodating the locking portion 312. The snap structure 330 can move the first joint component 310 along the positioning axis so that the locking portion 312 moves out of the locking cavity 324.

[0031] During the process of unfolding and folding the backrest stool, the backrest frame 200 rotates relative to the stool body frame 100, and the first joint component 310 also rotates relative to the second joint component 320. The first joint component 310 and the second joint component 320 can be locked by the snap button structure 330 to limit the relative rotation of the first joint component 310 and the second joint component 320, so that the backrest frame 200 can be locked in the unfolded or folded position relative to the stool body frame 100. The snap button structure 330 is unlocked by pressing and moving, and its operation is relatively convenient, making the unfolding and folding operation of the backrest stool relatively convenient.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first joint component 310 may also be disposed on the stool body frame 100 , and the second joint component 320 may be disposed on the backrest frame 200 .

[0033] The pivot assembly 300 further includes an axle member 340, which is disposed on the first joint member 310 and is also disposed through the second joint member 320. The axle member 340 can move relative to the second joint member 320 along the positioning axis a, and the axis of the axle member 340 coincides with the positioning axis a. At least one of the first joint member 310 and the second joint member 320 can rotate relative to the axle member 340.

[0034] For example, in one embodiment, the shaft member 340 is configured as a connecting bolt, a first through hole is provided on the first joint member 310, and a second through hole is provided on the second joint member 320. The connecting bolt passes through the first through hole and the second through hole, so that the connecting bolt can move and rotate relative to the first joint member 310, and the connecting bolt can move and rotate relative to the second joint member 320.

[0035] In some embodiments, the shaft member 340 can also be configured as a rivet, which is passed through the first through hole and the second through hole, and a convex edge is formed at one end of the rivet to prevent the rivet from detaching from the first joint member 310 when moving toward the second joint member 320 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the shaft component 340 may be fixedly connected to the first joint component 310 , and the shaft component 340 may move and rotate relative to the second joint component 320 .

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A first blocking portion 321 and a second blocking portion 322 are spaced apart on one side of the second joint component 320 , and an installation cavity 323 and a locking cavity 324 are formed between the first blocking portion 321 and the second blocking portion 322 . The installation cavity 323 accommodates the connecting portion 311 , and the locking cavity 324 accommodates the locking portion 312 .

[0038] Since the first blocking portion 321 and the second blocking portion 322 are arranged at intervals, two locking cavities 324 are formed on the second joint component 320. When the backrest stool is in the unfolded state, the locking portion 312 is located in one of the locking cavities 324, which can limit the rotation of the backrest frame 200; when the backrest stool needs to be folded, the first joint component 310 is pushed to move along the positioning axis a so that the locking portion 312 moves out of the locking cavity 324, and then the backrest frame 200 and the first joint component 310 are rotated, and when the locking portion 312 moves to a position corresponding to the other locking cavity 324, the locking portion 312 is placed in the other locking cavity 324. In this way, the backrest frame 200 can be locked in the unfolded or folded position relative to the stool body frame 100 through the above structure.

[0039] The snap structure 330 includes a snap member 331 and an elastic member 332. The snap member 331 is located at the other side of the second joint member 320 and is connected to the shaft member 340. The elastic member 332 is disposed between the snap member 331 and the second joint member 320. In this way, when the backrest is in the unfolded and folded state, the elastic member 332 can keep the connecting portion 311 in the installation cavity 323; by pressing the snap member 331, the shaft member 340 can be pushed to move, so that the connecting portion 311 has space to move out of the locking cavity 324, and the first joint member 310 can rotate relative to the second joint member 320.

[0040] The elastic member 332 is configured as a compression spring, and the compression spring is sleeved on the shaft member 340. In some embodiments, the elastic member 332 can also be configured as a spring sheet, a rubber block, or other structures.

[0041] In some embodiments, the snap button structure 330 can also be configured as a cam, which is rotatably connected to the shaft member 340. When the cam is rotated, the shaft member 340 can be driven to move along the positioning axis a.

[0042] The height of the first blocking portion 321 is smaller than the height of the second blocking portion 322, so that the first joint 310 can only rotate along the first blocking portion 321, and when the locking portion 312 moves to abut the second blocking portion 322, the locking portion 312 is at a position opposite to the locking cavity 324, which is convenient for the user to judge whether the backrest frame 200 is rotated in place. In the direction along the positioning axis a, the distance difference between the end surface of the first blocking portion 321 and the bottom surface of the installation cavity 323 is the height of the first blocking portion 321; the distance difference between the end surface of the second blocking portion 322 and the bottom surface of the installation cavity 323 is the height of the second blocking portion 322.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first blocking portion 321 is provided with a positioning notch 325 that can accommodate the locking portion 312. When the user needs to lie on the backrest stool, the locking portion 312 can be adjusted to be located in the positioning notch 325.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, the locking portion 312 has a guide groove 313 that can accommodate the first blocking portion 321. When the locking portion 312 moves out of the locking cavity 324, the end of the first blocking portion 321 can be placed in the guide groove 313 when the first joint 310 is rotated, and the end of the first blocking portion 321 slides along the guide groove 313 to limit the shaking of the first joint 310 when it rotates.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The stool frame 100 includes a first bracket 110, a second bracket 120, a first connecting rod frame 130 and a second connecting rod frame 140. The first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 are arranged at intervals. One side of the first connecting rod frame 130 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 110 through a pin shaft, and the other side is rotatably connected to the second bracket 120 through a pin shaft. One side of the second connecting rod frame 140 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 110 through a pin shaft, and the other side is rotatably connected to the second bracket 120 through a pin shaft, and the middle part of the second connecting rod frame 140 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the first connecting rod frame 130 through a pin shaft. In this way, the stool frame 100 can be folded.

[0046] The first connecting rod frame 130 includes a first rod frame 131 and a first support rod 132, one side of the first rod frame 131 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 110, the other side of the first rod frame 131 is rotatably connected to one end of the first support rod 132 through a pin, and the other end of the first support rod 132 is rotatably connected to the second bracket 120. The second connecting rod frame 140 includes a second rod frame 141 and a second support rod 142, one side of the second rod frame 141 is rotatably connected to the second bracket 120, the other side of the second rod frame 141 is rotatably connected to one end of the second support rod 142 through a pin, the other end of the second support rod 142 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 110, and the first rod frame 131 and the second rod frame 141 are rotatably connected.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first rod frame 131 and the first support rod 132 may be fixedly connected, and the second rod frame 141 and the second support rod 142 may be fixedly connected. Alternatively, the first support rod 132 and the second support rod 142 are not provided, and the two sides of the first rod frame 131 are directly connected to the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 in a one-to-one corresponding rotation, and the two sides of the second rod frame 141 are directly connected to the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 in a one-to-one corresponding rotation.

[0048] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
