Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a folding stroller for babies to ride on when going out, in particular to an improved folding stroller. Background Art

[0002] At present, baby strollers are designed to be foldable for easy carrying. The folding structure is mainly divided into two types: one-piece folding with a seat and one-piece folding without a seat. The one-piece folding has the advantages of being easy to unfold and use, and easy to fold and store, so it is very popular among consumers. However, in common one-piece folding strollers, in order to facilitate the design of the folding structure, the seat is usually a frame seat, that is, a seat assembled by connecting a number of rods. This kind of seat not only shakes when unfolded and is not stable, but also must be covered with a cloth cover before riding, which is troublesome to use and not very comfortable to ride. However, if an integrated injection-molded seat with better riding comfort is used, the folding method is to drive the seat to flip forward and fold together through the handlebar tube, and the seat is clamped between the handlebar tube and the front leg tube group, and then the rear leg tube group is folded and closed with the front leg tube group; therefore, after the folding structure is completed, the seat, the handlebar tube, the front leg tube group and the rear leg tube group are often in a state of overlapping each other, that is, the overall thickness of the stroller after folding is large, and the volume is obviously not small and beautiful. At the same time, the structural design of the control parts at each joint of these folding strollers is complex, and there is no structural relationship of first and then linkage between the various control parts, so in actual use, it is easy to cause the folding operation of the stroller to become troublesome and laborious, and there are also hidden safety hazards in use. In addition, with the continuous expansion of the market for infant and child products, consumers have also put forward more requirements for the use of folding strollers, and they also more urgently hope that manufacturers can launch more baby strollers that take into account both riding comfort and simplified folding methods, as well as smaller carrying and storage volumes after folding, so as to meet the market's purchasing needs.

[0034] An improved folding cart, such as Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, it relates to a baby product for babies to ride when going out, and its structure is mainly composed of a handlebar tube 1, a front leg tube group 2, a rear leg tube group 3 and a seat 4.

[0035] The handle tube 1 is composed of a single-design upper tube 11 and a lower tube 12. The upper end of the upper tube 11 is provided with a plug-in fixed push handle 112, which can facilitate consumers to support the cart. The lower end of the upper tube 11 is provided with a plug-in fixed upper connecting piece 111, on which a circular upper turntable is provided; the upper end of the lower tube 12 is provided with a plug-in fixed lower connecting piece 121, on which a circular lower turntable is provided, and the lower end of the lower tube 12 is provided with a plug-in fixed large joint 5 1, the large joint is a horizontally placed hollow cylindrical tube, and the lower end of the lower tube 12 is mainly fixedly connected with the extension shaft 512 on the outer circumferential surface of the large joint 51, and a seat 511 extending vertically upward in a circular tube shape is also provided on the outer circumferential surface of the large joint 51, and the axis of the seat is perpendicular to the axis of the large joint 51, and the axis of the seat 511 and the axis of the extension shaft 512 are intersected at the axis of the large joint 51, and a certain angle is formed between the two.

[0036] The upper connecting member 111 and the lower connecting member 121 are coaxially hinged through upper and lower rotating disks, both of which are provided with inner gear rings, and a third control member 6 for locking or unlocking the rotation between the upper and lower connecting members is provided between the upper and lower rotating disks.

[0037] The third control member 6 includes a gear 65 disposed between the upper and lower rotating disks, a third spring 66 is disposed between the gear and the upper rotating disk to push each other elastically, and the gear 65 is pushed elastically by the third spring 66 and simultaneously engages with the inner gear rings of the upper rotating disk and the lower rotating disk, at which time the rotation between the upper and lower connecting members is locked; the lower rotating disk is provided with a button 64 on the outside, and the button extends into the lower rotating disk through the support leg 641 and contacts the gear 65; therefore, once the button 64 is pressed inward, the support leg 641 can push the gear 65 to compress the third spring 66 to move axially and disengage from the inner gear ring of the lower rotating disk, at which time the rotation between the upper and lower connecting members is unlocked. Conversely, once the pressing force on the button 64 is released, the compression force of the third spring 66 is released and the pushing gear 65 is reset, and the rotation between the upper and lower connecting members is locked again.

[0038] The seat 4 includes an integrally injection-molded seat pocket 41 and a backboard 42, a front armrest 43 hingedly mounted on the front side of the seat pocket 41, a headrest 45 movably mounted on the top of the backboard 42, and a shower head rod 44 hingedly mounted on the top of the headrest 45 and located above the seat pocket 41; the seat 4 is fixedly mounted on the seat platform 511 of the large joint 51 at the lower end of the handlebar tube 1 through the seat pocket 41, and is usually rotatably mounted around the axis of the seat platform 511, so that the seat 4 can be rotated forward or backward in actual use. When the seat 4 is folded, it must be ensured to be in the forward rotation state, and then the front armrest 43 is flipped up and the shower head rod 44 is flipped down while being close to the inner side of the backboard 42, and then the headrest 45 is moved downward and retracted into the backboard 42, at which time the volume of the entire seat 4 will be reduced, and it looks like it is close to the front of the handlebar tube 1.

[0039] The front leg tube group 2 is composed of two front leg tubes 21 arranged symmetrically and parallel to the left and right, each front leg tube has a front connector 22 at the upper end thereof, and a front caster 23 at the lower end thereof; the rear leg tube group 3 is composed of two rear leg tubes 31 arranged symmetrically and parallel to the left and right, each rear leg tube has a rear connector 32 at the upper end thereof, and a rear caster 33 at the lower end thereof; the lower end of the handlebar tube 1, the upper end of the front leg tube group 2, and the upper end of the rear leg tube group 3 They are hinged around the same rotation axis, and the specific structure is: a handle 7 is first provided at the front of the large joint 51, and rotating arms 71 extend from both ends of the handle, and the two rotating arms are respectively located at both ends of the large joint 51, and the front connecting parts 22 at the upper ends of the two front leg tubes 21 are respectively located at both ends of the rotating arms 71, and the rear connecting parts 32 at the upper ends of the two rear leg tubes 31 are respectively located at both ends of the front connecting parts 22, that is, the large joint 51, the rotating arm 71, the front connecting part 22 and the rear connecting part 32 are arranged side by side in sequence and coaxially hinged to form the same rotation axis.

[0040] The large joint 51 and the rotating arm 71 are both provided with an internal gear ring, and the two ends of the rotating arm 71 are respectively provided with end shafts 72 extending to both sides. The end shaft 72 at each end is movable through the front connecting piece 22 on the same side and then fixed to the rear connecting piece 32 on the same side; in this way, when the handle 7 is rotated, the two rear connecting pieces 32 at both ends, the two rear leg tubes 31 and the two rear casters 33 can be driven to rotate synchronously, that is, the handle 7 can drive the rear leg tube group 3 to rotate synchronously.

[0041] At the same time, a pull sleeve 63 with a movable sleeve is provided on the handlebar tube 1, specifically, it is slidably mounted on the lower tube 12 and adjacent to the third control member 6, a first control member 5 is provided between the large joint 51 and the rotating arm 71, and a pull rope 61 is provided in the handlebar tube 1, which connects the pull sleeve 63 and the first control member 5 respectively; the pull sleeve 63 moves up and down along the handlebar tube 1, and drives the first control member 5 to lock or unlock the rotation between the large joint 51 and the rotating arm 71 through the pull rope 61.

[0042] Among them, a fixed pull piece 67 is provided in the pull sleeve 63, and the upper end of the pull rope 61 is actually connected to the pull piece 67. Therefore, when the pull sleeve 63 moves up and down along the lower tube 12, it will drive the internal pull piece 67 to move synchronously, and then pull the pull rope 61 upward or release the pull rope 61 downward, so as to drive the first control member 5 to achieve locking or unlocking; the top of the pull piece 67 is provided with a safety rod 671 extending upward. When the third control member 6 locks the rotation between the upper connecting member 111 and the lower connecting member 121, the upper end of the safety rod 671 will Fig. 9 As shown, it abuts against the gear 65 and limits the upward movement of the pull sleeve 63 driving the pull member 67; when the third control member 6 unlocks the rotation between the upper connecting member 111 and the lower connecting member 121, so that the upper connecting member 111 rotates closely relative to the lower connecting member 121, the upper connecting member 111 also drives the synchronous rotation of the gear 65, and at this time the upper end of the safety rod 671 can be as Fig.10 As shown, the pull piece 67 is inserted into the preset small hole 651 on the gear 65, which releases the pull sleeve 63 to drive the pull piece 67 to move upward.

[0043] The purpose of designing the safety rod 671 is to ensure that the unlocking or locking action of the third control member 6 can be linked with the lifting action of the pull sleeve 63 along the handlebar tube 1, that is, the third control member 6 and the first control member 5 are linked in a first and a second manner, and only when the third control member 6 is unlocked and a fold is formed between the upper and lower tubes, can the pull sleeve 63 be allowed to slide and unlock the first control member 5. Obviously, such a design structure can greatly ensure the safety of the cart folding operation.

[0044] The first control member 5 is as follows Figure 6As shown, it includes a rotating cylinder 52 coaxially rotatably installed in the large joint 51, each end of the rotating cylinder moves through the rotating arm 71 on the same side and is then fixed to the front connecting piece 22 on the same side; in this way, the connection of the rotating cylinder 52 can ensure that the two front leg tubes 21 can form synchronous rotation.

[0045] Meanwhile, the first control member 5 further comprises a rotating disk 53 , a first unlocking member 54 and an outer gear ring 55 which are movably mounted on the outside of the rotating drum 52 in sequence.

[0046] The rotating disk 53 is positioned and rotated radially around the rotating drum 52, that is, the rotating disk 53 cannot move axially outside the rotating drum 52 but can only rotate radially; the inner end of the first unlocking member 54 is provided with three support rods 541 that are evenly distributed around the circumference and parallel to each other, each support rod 541 extends axially from the inner end of the first unlocking member 54 and contacts the outer end surface of the rotating disk 53, and between the end of the support rod 541 and the outer end surface of the rotating disk 53, there are also provided Figure 5 The outer bevel 542 and the inner bevel 531 are shown to fit together; the inner end of the outer gear ring 55 is in close contact with the outer end of the first unlocking piece 54, and a first spring 56 is provided between the outer end of the outer gear ring 55 and the rotating arm 71 for elastically pushing each other, and under normal conditions, the elastic pushing of the first spring 56 causes the outer gear ring 55 to simultaneously engage with the inner gear rings of the large joint 51 and the rotating arm 71, and at this time, the rotation between the large joint 51 and the rotating arm 71 is locked.

[0047] The lower end of the pull rope 61 is connected to the turntable 53, and a reset spring 62 is installed outside the pull rope 61. When the pull rope 61 is pulled upward, the reset spring 62 can be compressed to drive the turntable 53 to rotate around the drum 52. Once the tension on the pull rope 61 is released, the reset spring 62 releases the compression force and can drive the pull rope 61 and the turntable 53 to reset.

[0048] Therefore, the action process between the pull sleeve 63 and the first control member 5 is as follows: when the pull sleeve 63 is driven to move upward along the handle tube 1, the pull rope 61 can drive the rotary disk 53 to rotate radially, and the radial positioning rotation of the rotary disk drives the inner inclined surface 531 to push the outer inclined surface 542, which is then converted into driving the first unlocking member 54 to push the outer gear ring 55 to compress the first spring 56 and move axially close to the rotating arm 71, so that the outer gear ring 55 is separated from the inner gear ring of the large joint 51, thereby unlocking the large joint 51 and the rotating arm 71. When the upward movement driving force on the pull sleeve 63 is released, the reset spring 62 will drive the pull sleeve 63 to move downward and reset along the handle tube 1, and the pull rope 61 and the turntable 53 will be reset synchronously. At this time, the first spring 56 releases the compression force and also pushes the outer gear ring 55 and the first unlocking member 54 to move axially and reset. The inner and outer inclined surfaces fit together again, so that the outer gear ring 55 re-engages the inner gear ring of the large joint 51 and the rotating arm 71, thereby re-locking the rotation between the large joint 51 and the rotating arm 71.

[0049] In addition, a protrusion 513 is provided on the outer surface of the large joint 51, and a second control member 8 is provided between the rotating arm 71 and the front connecting member 22. When the large joint 51 rotates relative to the rotating arm 71, the protrusion 513 can be driven to rotate. Figure 8 As shown, the second control member 8 is touched to unlock the rotation between the rotating arm 71 and the front connecting member 22 .

[0050] Among them, the second control element 8 is as follows Figure 7 As shown, it mainly includes a second unlocking member 81, a second spring 84, a locking member 82 installed in the handle 7, and a pull wire 83 respectively connecting the second unlocking member 81 and the locking member 82; the locking member 82 is elastically pushed into the lock hole 221 of the front connecting member 22 by the second spring 84, that is, the locking member 82 is just stuck between the rotating arm 71 and the front connecting member 22, thereby locking the rotation between the rotating arm 71 and the front connecting member 22; when the large joint 51 rotates relative to the rotating arm 71, it can drive the protrusion 513 to move in a circle and touch the second unlocking member 81, and push the second unlocking member to move outward along the guide groove 73 in the handle 7, and the movement of the second unlocking member 81 can be directly converted to the movement of the locking member 82 driven by the pull wire 83, and the locking member can directly move away from the front connecting member 22, thereby unlocking the rotation between the rotating arm 71 and the front connecting member 22.

[0051] From the above, it can be seen that the unlocking action of the first control member 5 and the unlocking action of the second control member 8 are also linked in sequence. Only when the first control member 5 is unlocked and the large joint 51 is rotated and folded relative to the rotating arm 71, can the protrusion 513 rotate in a circle and touch the second unlocking member 81 to move, that is, the second control member 8 is unlocked. Obviously, such a design structure can also greatly ensure the safety of the cart folding operation.

[0052] The cart of the present invention is in the following Fig.11 In the unfolded state shown in the figure, the handlebar tube 1, the front leg tube group 2 and the rear leg tube group 3 are all unfolded and locked and in an inverted Y shape, and the center axis of the seat 4 installed on the seat platform 511 is exactly perpendicular to the rotation axis of the large joint 51, so as to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the stroller and the comfort of the seat 4; when the stroller is in the folded state, as shown in the figure, Figure 12 to Figure 15 As shown, the seat 4 is first folded close to the front of the handlebar tube 1, and the third control member 6 is unlocked so that the upper tube 11 of the handlebar tube 1 is turned downward and close to the lower tube 12. After the upper and lower tubes are folded together, the lifting and lowering activity of the pull sleeve 63 is also released, thereby unlocking the first control member 5 so that the handlebar tube 1 is turned backward around the rotation axis, and drives the seat 4 to be together and together in the rear leg tube group 3. At the same time, the second control member 8 is unlocked again, so that the front leg tube group 2 can rotate around the rotation axis and approach the rear leg tube group 3, and also be together in the rear leg tube group 3, and finally the folding of the entire cart is completed.

[0053] Obviously, placing the seat 4, the handle tube 1 and the front leg tube group 2 together in the rear leg tube group 3 can effectively reduce the overall thickness of the stroller after folding and ensure the compact and beautiful appearance, which is convenient for carrying and storage; at the same time, the first control member 5, the second control member 8 and the third control member 6 used to complete the folding are simply designed and have a front-rear linkage structural relationship, which not only ensures the convenience and effortlessness of the stroller folding operation, but also improves the safety of use.

[0054] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that any structural design similar to this embodiment should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
