[0060] When the frame 100 is converted from the unfolded state to the folded state, as shown in Figure 4 ,Figure 5 As shown, the upper horizontal bar 43 is pressed down and pushed forward. During the process of pressing down the upper horizontal bar 43, the upper push rod 131, the middle push rod 132, and the lower push rod 133 in the side supports 1 on both sides retract together along the length direction, and at the same time, the push rod 13 moves downward as a whole. During the process of pushing the upper horizontal bar 43 forward, the push rod 13 moves forward as a whole. Driven by the push rod 13, the side upright 17 and the side surrounding rod 12 both flip downward and backward toward the rear support rod 14. The side upright 17 drives the seat rod 18 to flip backward, and the seat rod 18 slides backward relative to the third sliding member 121. The three sliding members 121 are far apart from the second rotation center line X2; driven by the side upright 17, the rear lower support rod 142 and the rear upper support rod 141 slide and retract along the length direction, while the side upright 17 drives the second sliding member 161 to slide forward along the bottom rod 15, and drives the bottom rod 15 to fold back relative to the rear support rod 14; the bottom rod 15 drives the first sliding member 151 to slide upward along the front support rod 11, and the first sliding member 151 drives the front support rod 11 to fold back relative to the rear support rod 14, and finally makes the rods in the same side bracket 1 retract together in the front and rear direction.

[0061] As the frame 100 folds in the front-rear direction, the upper crossbar 43 moves downward, causing the second ends 422 of the two sets of connecting rods 42 to move downward together. The first ends 421 of the two connecting rods 42 drive the push rods 13 on the left and right sides to move towards each other. The push rods 13 drive the side supports 1 on the left and right sides to fold towards each other. The seat cross brace assembly 24 and the cross brace assembly 21 both fold in the left and right direction. As the first sliding member 151 slides upward, the first sliding member 151 drives the linkage rod 3 to move upward, and in conjunction, causes the front cross brace assembly 21 to fold in the left and right direction. The two front crossbars 211 on the left and right sides rotate towards each other around the first axis and fold together, ultimately causing the frame 100 to fold together in the left and right direction.

[0062] The stroller frame 100 is in a folded state, see below. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the two front crossbars 211 are gathered together between the two front support rods 11, and the first end 211a is located above the second end 211b. The front support rod 11, bottom rod 15, rear support rod 14, side support rod 12, and push rod 13 are folded together from front to back. The seat rod 18 is converted to extend in the vertical direction. The side upright rod 17 is upside down. The seat rod 18 and the side upright rod 17 are gathered together between the two side support rods 12 in the left and right direction. The front wheel assembly 200 is gathered together between the rear wheel assembly 300 in the left and right direction and is located between the two rear support rods 14.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] See Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the frame 100 in this embodiment does not have a seat cross brace assembly 24, but the cross brace assembly 2 in this embodiment has a vertical cross brace assembly 23. The vertical cross brace assembly 23 includes two vertical support rods 231 that cross each other and are rotatably connected at the intersection. When the frame 100 is in the unfolded state, the vertical support rods 231 extend backward from bottom to top. The vertical support rods 231 are connected between the upper part of the front support rods 11 on both sides and the side uprights 17 on both sides, or the vertical support rods 231 are connected between the lower part of the side rails 12 on both sides and the side uprights 17 on both sides.

[0065] Specifically, the lower part of each support rod 231 is rotatably connected to a side bracket 1 on one side, and the upper part of each support rod 231 is rotatably connected to a side bracket 1 on the other side. The lower part of the upright support rod 231 is rotatably connected to a first connector 213a, and the upper part of the upright support rod 231 is rotatably connected to a second connector 231b. The first connector 231a is rotatably connected to the upper part of the front support rod 11 or rotatably connected to the lower part of the side support rod 12. Alternatively, the first connector 231a is rotatably connected to the upper part of the front support rod 11 and the lower part of the side support rod 12 around the same rotation center line. The second connector 231b is rotatably connected to the side upright rod 17. When the frame 100 is in the unfolded state, the second connector 231b is located below the first rotation center line X1 in the length extension direction of the side upright rod 17, and the second connector 231b is rotatably connected to the rear part of the seat rod 18 around the same rotation center line on the side upright rod 17. Alternatively, when the frame 100 is in the unfolded state, the second connector 231b is located above or below the second rotation center line X2 in the length extension direction of the side upright rod 17.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first connector 231a extends in the left-right direction, and its axis extends collinearly with the third rotation center line X3. The first connector 231a, the upper part of the front support rod 11, and the lower part of the side support rod 12 are rotatably connected together around the third rotation center line X3. The second connector 231b extends in the left-right direction, and its axis extends collinearly with the second rotation center line X2. The second connector 231b and the rear part of the seat rod 18 are rotatably connected to the side support rod 17 around the second rotation center line X2.

[0067] The folding principle and folding process of this embodiment are roughly the same as those of embodiment 1. By pressing down and pushing forward the upper crossbar 43, the frame 100 is driven and folded in the left and right directions, and the rods in the side bracket 1 are folded together in the front and back directions. During the process of the side brackets 1 on the left and right sides folding together, the vertical crossbar assembly 23 is folded in the left and right directions.

[0068] In summary, the folding stroller of the above two embodiments can be folded in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction, and the stroller folding principle is simple. Only by pressing and pushing the upper cross bar 43 forward, the folding of the stroller frame 100 in two directions can be realized.

[0069] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
