Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of stroller technology, and in particular to a children's stroller that can automatically fold in both directions. Background Technology

[0002] Strollers are a common mode of transportation for parents to take their children or infants out. Existing strollers have reversible seats to meet the needs of parents and children. However, many existing strollers cannot fold down after the seat is reversed, requiring parents to reset the seat before folding. Folding down requires both hands, especially for larger strollers. Sometimes, mothers need to hold the child in one arm and fold down the stroller with the other. Without assistance, folding down with one hand undoubtedly increases the difficulty. Based on the current market demand, this invention addresses a stroller that can fold down the seat in both directions with one hand. After folding the seat with one hand, rotating the seat unlocks the frame joint, and the frame automatically folds down. This allows for automatic folding and folding with one hand, reducing the difficulty of folding down, improving folding efficiency, and making it more user-friendly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stroller that can automatically fold in both directions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A bidirectional automatically folding stroller includes a seat assembly and a frame assembly. The seat assembly is rotatably mounted between the frame assembly, and includes a seat joint with a seat locking block. The frame assembly includes an inner joint, an armrest joint, a toothed ring, and a rear leg joint, which are rotatably mounted sequentially. The inner joint has a side opening that communicates with both sides on its outer side and an unlocking pusher on its inner side. The unlocking pusher engages with two armrest locking blocks for locking the armrest joint. Folding the seat assembly and pushing the seat locking blocks down through the side openings presses down the unlocking pusher, causing the unlocking pusher to move downwards. The movement of the handrail lock block releases the lock on the handrail joint. The toothed ring is fitted onto the handrail joint and rotates synchronously with the inner joint. A rear foot pusher is provided on the inner side of the toothed ring. The handrail joint has a rear foot lock facing the rear foot joint, and a rear foot pusher is movably installed in the rear foot lock. The rear foot joint has a rear foot movement cavity with an opening aligned with the rear foot lock. A rear foot lock is provided in the rear foot movement cavity. The rear foot lock is inserted into the rear foot lock along the opening. The rear foot pusher pushes the rear foot lock out of the rear foot lock to release the lock.

[0006] Furthermore, the seat assembly includes a seat frame and a backrest frame. The seat joints are two in number and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the seat frame. A railing joint is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the seat frame and the seat joint. The railing joint and the seat joint have aligned railing latches, and a railing locking block is movably mounted within each latch. The backrest frame includes a backrest joint and a backrest locking block. The backrest joint includes a rotating part and a top. The rotating part is rotatably mounted between the railing joint and the seat joint. The top has an inward-facing opening. The backrest has a movable cavity, and the backrest locking block is movably installed in the movable cavity and engages with the seat joint. The backrest locking block is connected to a pull rope. By pulling the pull rope, it is pulled back into the movable cavity to release the locking state with the seat joint. The backrest frame is folded and rotated. The rotating part has an upward pushing part that engages with the seat locking block and a downward pushing part that engages with the railing locking block. The upward pushing part pushes the seat locking block downward and pushes the unlocking pusher. The downward pushing part pushes the railing locking block upward and exits the railing lock, releasing the locking state of the railing joint.

[0007] Furthermore, the backrest frame is provided with a backrest connecting frame that connects the two backrest joints. The backrest connecting frame is provided with a control handle. The control handle is connected to a pull rope. Rotating the control handle will pull the pull rope.

[0008] Furthermore, the seat joint is provided with a slot for installing a fence lock block, and the fence lock block is provided with a return spring for pushing the fence lock block downward to move into the fence lock slot.

[0009] Furthermore, a fence connecting frame is connected between the two fence joints.

[0010] Furthermore, a seat plate is installed on the seat joint by screws. The seat plate has multiple latches that engage with the backrest locking block. The backrest locking block enters the latch and restricts its rotation. Pulling the pull rope will disengage it from the latch.

[0011] Furthermore, the seat joint is provided with a recessed portion, which has a large recess and a small recess at the bottom. The inner joint is provided with a protrusion that engages with the recessed portion. The protrusion has an opening that communicates with the front and back. A toothed ring connector is movably installed at the opening of the inner joint. When the seat assembly is installed facing forward, one end of the toothed ring connector passes through the opening and abuts against the flange of the small recess, while the other end disengages from the toothed ring and moves within the inner groove of the toothed ring. When the seat assembly is installed in reverse, one end of the toothed ring connector passes through the opening and embeds into the large recess, while the other end engages with the groove in the inner groove of the toothed ring. The toothed ring and the inner joint rotate synchronously.

[0012] Furthermore, the gear ring connector includes a front push block, a middle adjustment block, and a rear locking block. The middle adjustment block is provided with guide slopes that respectively cooperate with the front push block and the rear locking block. The front push block is disposed in the opening and is provided with a stepped portion that cooperates with the large recess or the small recess.

[0013] When the seat assembly is installed facing forward, the flange of the stepped portion abuts and engages with the small concave portion, the front push block retracts into the opening, the front push block pushes the middle adjustment block to move toward the rear locking block, and the middle adjustment block pushes the rear locking block to move toward the inner joint portion and disengage from the slot of the gear ring;

[0014] When the seat assembly is installed in reverse, the stepped portion is embedded in the large recess, the front push block moves toward the inward joint, the middle adjustment block moves away from the rear locking block, and the rear locking block moves toward the gear ring and enters the slot to engage with the gear ring.

[0015] Furthermore, the frame assembly also includes a front foot and a rear foot. The rear foot joint is provided with a front mounting part and a rear mounting part. The front mounting part is provided with a front foot rotation port. The front foot is provided with a front foot bracket that is rotatably mounted to the front foot rotation port. The rear foot is provided with a rear foot bracket that is inserted and mounted to the rear mounting part. A folding frame is rotatably mounted on the armrest joint. The folding frame is provided with an upper connector, a front connector, and a rear connector. One end of the upper connector is rotatably mounted on the armrest joint, and the other end is rotatably mounted to the front connector and the rear connector. The front connector is rotatably mounted to the front foot bracket, and the rear connector is rotatably mounted to the rear foot bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, the handrail joint is provided with a handrail mounting part, the handrail mounting part is equipped with a telescopic tube, and a handrail connecting frame is provided between the two telescopic tubes.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] This invention enables the entire vehicle to be folded with one hand. The seats can be positioned facing forward or backward. In the unfolded state, folding the seat assembly first causes the seat locking block to press down on the side opening of the inner joint. At this time, the unlocking pusher is pushed by the seat locking block of the seat assembly to move the armrest locking block, releasing the locking state between the inner joint and the armrest joint. Continuing to rotate the seat assembly causes the inner joint and the gear ring to rotate. The gear ring pushes the rear foot pusher to push the rear foot locking block out of the rear foot locking opening, releasing the locking state between the armrest joint and the rear foot joint. At this time, all parts of the vehicle are in the unlocked state. The user can fold and fold the entire vehicle with one hand by rotating each part in sequence. After folding the seat, when the seat assembly is rotated in the folding direction, it drives each joint to unlock in sequence. Each joint rotates under the action of gravity and automatically folds. Unfolding only requires unfolding in sequence, reducing the difficulty of folding the vehicle, improving the folding efficiency, and making it more user-friendly. Attached Figure Description

The front connector 272 is rotatably mounted on the front foot bracket 251, and the rear connector 273 is rotatably mounted on the rear foot bracket 261. The rotatable mounting method is preferably rotatable mounting by a pivot or a pin with a nut. This embodiment is not limited to this method.

[0047] The handrail joint 22 is provided with a handrail mounting part 223, and the handrail mounting part 223 is equipped with a telescopic tube 224. The preferred installation method is plug-in installation and screw locking. A handrail connecting frame 225 is provided between the two telescopic tubes 224.

[0048] The seat joint 11 is provided with a recessed part 16. The recessed part has a large recessed part 161 and a small recessed part 162 at the bottom. The bottom of the large recessed part 161 and the small recessed part 162 are at the same horizontal height, and the top has a certain drop. The drop distance is 1-3cm, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0049] The inner joint portion 21 is provided with a protrusion 214 that engages with the recess 16. The protrusion 214 has an opening that communicates with the front and rear. A toothed ring connector 28 is movably installed in the opening of the inner joint portion 21. When the seat assembly 1 is installed in the forward direction, one end of the toothed ring connector 28 passes through the opening and abuts against the flange of the small recess 162, while the other end disengages from the toothed ring 23 and moves in the inner groove 232 within the toothed ring 23. The inner groove 232 is a recessed structure of the inner ring of the toothed ring, used to cooperate with the toothed ring connector 28, so that the toothed ring connector 28 moves in the inner groove 232. When the seat assembly 1 is installed in the reverse direction, one end of the toothed ring connector 28 passes through the opening and is embedded in the large recess 161, while the other end engages with the groove 233 of the inner groove 232 of the toothed ring 23. The toothed ring 23 and the inner joint portion 21 rotate synchronously.

[0050] The gear ring connector 28 includes a front push block 281, a middle adjustment block 282 and a rear locking block 283. The middle adjustment block 282 is provided with guide slopes that cooperate with the front push block 281 and the rear locking block 283 respectively. The front push block 281 is located in the opening and is provided with a stepped portion that cooperates with the large recess 161 or the small recess 162.

[0051] When the seat assembly 1 is installed facing forward, the stepped part abuts against the flange of the small recess 162, the front push block 281 retracts into the opening, the front push block 281 pushes the middle adjustment block 282 to move toward the rear locking block 283, the middle adjustment block 282 pushes the rear locking block 283 to move toward the inner joint 21 and disengage from the slot 233 of the toothed ring 23.

[0052] At this time, the inner joint 21 needs to rotate 109 degrees before it reconnects with the toothed ring 23, that is, it abuts against the end of the inner groove 232, and drives the toothed ring to continue rotating 18 degrees. Thus, at the 127-degree position, the toothed ring 23 cooperates with the rear foot push block 222 on the armrest joint 22, releasing the locked state between the armrest joint 22 and the rear foot joint 24.

[0053] When seat assembly 1 is installed in reverse, the step portion is embedded in the large recess 161, the front push block 281 moves toward the inward joint portion 21, the middle adjustment block 282 moves away from the rear locking block 283, and the rear locking block 283 moves toward the gear ring 23 and enters the locking groove 233 to engage with the gear ring 23.

[0054] At this time, the inner tube 21 and the gear ring 23 rotate synchronously. After rotating together by 30 degrees, the gear ring 23 cooperates with the rear foot push block 222 on the armrest joint 22 to release the locking state of the armrest joint 22 and the rear foot joint 24.

[0055] When the seat is installed facing forward, the child's seat is positioned in front of the frame assembly; conversely, it is installed facing backward.

[0056] refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12The specific folding principle is as follows: The user first folds the backrest frame 14 on the backrest joint 141 with one hand, folding the seat assembly 1. Folding the seat assembly 1 involves first rotating the control handle 149 to pull the pull rope, which pulls the backrest locking block 142 out of the seat panel 15, unlocking the backrest joint 141. By rotating the backrest joint 141, the downward pushing part 147 of the rotating part 143 of the backrest joint 141 pushes the railing locking block and the upward pushing part 146 to move the seat locking block 12, unlocking the seat joint 11 and the railing joint 131 respectively. Then, the backrest frame 14 and the seat frame 13 are folded together facing each other. After the seat assembly 1 is folded down, rotate the entire seat assembly 1 to bring it close to the armrest connecting frame. When the seat assembly 1 rotates toward the telescopic tube 224 of the armrest joint 22, the armrest joint 22 is unlocked. Then push the armrest connecting frame 225 and the seat assembly 1 to rotate backward together. At this time, due to the influence of gravity, the armrest connecting frame 225 and the seat assembly 1 automatically rotate downward. During the rotation, the inner joint 21, armrest joint 22, gear ring 23 and rear foot joint 24 are unlocked in sequence. The armrest connecting frame 225, front foot 25 and rear foot 26 fold towards each other and move closer together to complete the folding operation.

[0057] The folding frame 27 is rotatably mounted on the handrail joint 22. When the scooter is being retracted, the handrail joint 22 rotates and the folding frame 27 rotates, pushing the rear foot 26 and the front foot 25 toward each other.

[0058] In this embodiment, the rotational installation is preferably performed via a rotating shaft.

[0059] This embodiment enables the entire vehicle to be folded with one hand. The seat assembly 1 can be positioned facing forward or backward. In the unfolded state, by first folding the seat assembly 1, the seat locking block 12 is pressed down on the side opening 211 of the inner joint 21. At this time, the unlocking pusher 212 is pushed by the seat locking block 12 of the seat assembly 1 to move the armrest locking block 213, releasing the locking state between the inner joint 21 and the armrest joint 22. Continuing to rotate the seat assembly 1 drives the inner joint 21 and the gear ring 23 to rotate. The gear ring 23 pushes the rear foot push block to push the rear foot locking block out of the rear foot lock opening, releasing the locking state between the armrest joint 22 and the rear foot joint 24. At this time, all components of the vehicle are in the unlocked state. After folding the seat, when the seat assembly 1 is rotated in the folding direction, it drives each joint to unlock in sequence. Each joint rotates under the action of gravity and automatically folds. Unfolding only requires unfolding in sequence, reducing the difficulty of folding the vehicle, improving the folding efficiency, and making it more user-friendly.
