[0058] In order to explain the technical content, structural features and achieved effects of the present invention in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the implementation methods and the accompanying drawings.

[0059] See also Figures 1 to 7The frame 100 provided by the present invention includes a first tube 1, a second tube 2 and a third tube 3. The first tube 1 is pivotally connected to the second tube 2, so as to realize the relative pivoting and retracting between the first tube 1 and the second tube 2. The second tube 2 is pivotally connected to the third tube 3, so as to realize the relative pivoting and retracting between the second tube 2 and the third tube 3. The first tube 1, the second tube 2 and the third tube 3 are pivotally connected at the same point. The pivoting parts between the first tube 1, the second tube 2 and the third tube 3 jointly form a pivoting part 10. The pivoting part 10 is located at the first tube 1, the second tube 2 and the third tube 3, the frame 100 also includes a folding unit 4, the folding unit 4 includes a pivot frame 41, a first rod 42, a connecting rod 43 and a second rod 44, the pivot frame 41 is pivoted to the pivot portion 10, the pivot frame 41 is pivoted to the second tube 2, the pivot point between the pivot frame 41 and the pivot portion 10 and the pivot point between the pivot frame 41 and the second tube 2 are spaced apart; one end of the first rod 42 is pivoted to the pivot frame 41 at a first pivot point a, the other end of the first rod 42 is pivoted to the pivot frame 41 at a second pivot point b, the first pivot point and the second pivot point are spaced apart , so that the pivot frame 41 and the first rod 42 together form a quadrilateral structure; one end of the connecting rod 43 is pivoted to the first pipe 1, and the other end of the connecting rod 43 is pivoted to the pivot frame 41 at the third pivot point. The connecting rod 43 is a sheet-like structure, and the connecting rod 43 has an avoidance recess 431 for avoiding the pivotal joint between the pivot frame 41 and the pivoting portion 10. The setting of the avoidance recess 431 can form an avoidance structure, which can avoid the pivotal movement of the connecting rod 43 and the pivotal movement of the pivot frame 41 from interfering, thereby making the components more compact; one end of the second rod 44 is pivoted to the third pipe 3 The other end of the second rod 44 is pivotally connected to the connecting rod 43 at a fourth pivot point. The second pivot point b, the third pivot point and the fourth pivot point are on the same pivot axis, so that the pivot frame 41, the first rod 42 and the second rod 44 together form a linkage structure. By pivoting and retracting the first tube 1 relative to the third tube 3, the connecting rod 43 links the second rod 44 to pivot and retract relative to the pivot frame 41, so that the third tube 3 pivots and retracts relative to the second tube 2, thereby achieving the pivoting and retracting between the first tube 1 and the third tube 3 and linking the pivoting and retracting between the second tube 2 and the third tube 3. When the frame 100 is folded, the linkage generated by the rotation of the first tube 1 relative to the third tube 3 can simultaneously drive the second tube 2 and the third tube 3 to approach each other to achieve folding. Therefore, it is only necessary to rotate the first tube 1 to synchronously drive the third tube 3 to approach and fold relative to the second tube 2, thereby avoiding the user from folding the second tube 2 and the third tube 3 again, thereby improving the convenience of use. The frame 100 structure of the present invention is suitable for foldable devices such as scaffolds, folding ladders, folding wheelchairs and baby strollers, but is not limited thereto. In order to more clearly explain the specific structure of the frame 100, the following will be described. Figures 1 to 19The frame 100 of the baby stroller shown in the figure is used as an example for detailed description: the first tube 1 in the frame 100 is the handle of the baby stroller, the second tube 2 is the front leg tube of the baby stroller, and the third tube 3 is the rear leg tube of the baby stroller. The front leg tube and the rear leg tube can be moved closer or farther away from each other by turning the handle to fold or unfold the frame 100. Therefore, the user only needs to operate the handle to realize the overall folding or unfolding of the frame 100, which overcomes the defect that the user must bend over to fold the front leg tube and the rear leg tube of the baby stroller in the traditional way, thereby improving convenience. More specifically, as follows:

[0060] See also Figure 4-Figure 7 The pivot frame 41 includes a third rod 411, a fourth rod 412 and a fifth rod 413 connected in sequence, the first rod 42 and the third rod 411 are pivoted at a first pivot point a, the first rod 42 and the fifth rod 413 are pivoted at a second pivot point b, the third rod 411 is pivoted to the pivoting portion 10, and the connection between the fourth rod 412 and the fifth rod 413 is pivoted to the second tube 2, so that a linkage mechanism is formed between the first rod 42, the second rod 44, the third rod 411, the fourth rod 412 and the fifth rod 413, so that the pivoting and retracting of the first tube 1 relative to the third tube 3 can drive the pivoting and retracting of the third tube 3 relative to the second tube 2. Preferably, the pivot frame 41 and the first rod 42 together form a trapezoidal structure. In this embodiment, the pivot frame 41 and the first rod 42 together form a right-angle trapezoidal structure.

[0061] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The frame 100 provided by the present invention further includes a guardrail 6, which is connected to the linkage rod 43. When the first tube 1, the second tube 2 and the third tube 3 are relatively pivoted and folded, the guardrail 6 forms an upward handle structure (the state is as shown in FIG. Figure 3 Such a configuration can facilitate the transportation of the frame 100 and improve the convenience of use.

[0062] See also Figure 8-Figure 16The frame 100 provided by the present invention also includes a first locking device 7 and a fourth tube 5. The first locking device 7 is used to lock the pivot between the first tube 1 and the third tube 3. The first locking device 7 is arranged on the pivot portion 10. The fourth tube 5 is pivotally connected to the first tube 1. The first locking device 7 is released by the pivoting and retracting movement between the first tube 1 and the fourth tube 5. In other words, there is no need to set an operating member 96 at the first locking device 7. The user only needs to pivot the first tube 1 and the fourth tube 5 to release the first locking device 7. For example, the first locking device 7 includes a first traction member 71, a pushing member 72, a first mounting seat 73, a second mounting seat 74, a locking member 75 and a first elastic member 76. The first pipe member 1 is connected to the first mounting seat 73, the third pipe member 3 is connected to the second mounting seat 74, the first mounting seat 73 is pivotally connected to the second mounting seat 74, the pivoting and retracting between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74 can drive the pivoting and retracting between the first pipe member 1 and the second pipe member 2, and locking the pivoting between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74 can lock the pivoting between the first pipe member 1 and the second pipe member 2. The locking member 75 is movably arranged between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74, and the pushing member 72 is located between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat The locking member 75 is moved along the pivot axis between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74, and the pushing member 72 is moved along the pivot axis between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74 to release the pivot connection of the first mounting seat 73 relative to the second mounting seat 74.

[0063] See also Figure 8 , Figure 10-Figure 16The first mounting seat 73 extends toward the pushing member 72 to form a pushing protrusion 731, and the pushing member 72 is provided with a matching pushing inclined surface 721 corresponding to the pushing protrusion 731. One end of the first traction member 71 is wrapped around the pushing member 72, and the pushing member 72 rotates under the traction of the first traction member 71 so that the pushing protrusion 731 abuts against the matching pushing inclined surface 721, and the pushing member 72 pushes the locking member 75 to move by the pushing protrusion 731 against the matching pushing inclined surface 721. In other words, the height difference of the matching pushing inclined surface 721 of the pushing member 72 during the rotation process is used to make the pushing protrusion 731 and the matching pushing inclined surface 721 abut against each other, so that the pushing member 72 moves along the pivot axis between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74, and then the locking member 75 moves along the pivot axis between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74 under the push of the pushing member 72 to achieve locking or releasing. The push-push inclined surface 721 is a spiral inclined surface provided on the push member 72. In this embodiment, three push-push protrusions 731 are provided on the first mounting seat 73. The three push-push protrusions 731 are symmetrically arranged along the pivot axis between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74. The three push-push protrusions 731 are arranged at equal intervals. Correspondingly, three push-push inclined surfaces 721 are provided on the push member 72. The three push-push inclined surfaces 721 are symmetrically arranged along the pivot axis between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74. The three push-push inclined surfaces 721 are arranged at equal intervals. In addition, the push member 72 is provided with a spiral first winding groove 722 corresponding to the first traction member 71. The first traction member 71 is wound around the first winding groove 722. The setting of the first winding groove 722 can avoid interference between the movements of the components, thereby making the components more compact. Preferably, the first traction member 71 is a steel wire rope, but is not limited thereto.

[0064] See also Figure 13-Figure 15The locking member 75 has an engaging tooth 751. The first mounting seat 73 is provided with a first tooth 732 that cooperates with the engaging tooth 751. The second mounting seat 74 is provided with a second tooth 741 that cooperates with the engaging tooth 751. The engaging tooth 751 is engaged with the first tooth 732 and the second tooth 741 at the same time under the pressure of the first elastic member 76 to form a locking state. The engaging tooth 751 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 76 under the push of the pushing member 72 and withdraws from the first tooth 732 to release the lock. That is, when the engaging tooth 751 is engaged with the first tooth 732 and the second tooth 741 at the same time, the engaging tooth 751 is used to lock the relative positions of the first tooth 732 and the second tooth 741 so that the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74 cannot move relative to each other. When the engaging teeth 751 overcome the elastic force under the push of the pushing member 72 and withdraw from the first teeth 732 and fully extend into the second teeth 741, the engaging teeth 751 and the first teeth 732 are retracted, and the engaging teeth 751 no longer restrict the relative positions of the first teeth 732 and the second teeth 741, so that the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74 can pivot relative to each other, thereby realizing the free pivoting between the first pipe fitting 1 and the third pipe fitting 3. The structure is simple and the locking is flexible. Preferably, the engaging teeth 751 are distributed circumferentially, and correspondingly, the first teeth 732 and the second teeth 741 are both distributed circumferentially, so that the locking of the engaging teeth 751 is more stable.

The other end of the first traction member 71 is wound around the driving member 77. The first pipe 1 and the fourth pipe 5 are pivotally retracted to make the driving member 77 rotate and pull the first traction member 71, so that the first traction member 71 pulls the push member 72 to rotate. Specifically, the driving member 77 is provided with a second winding groove 771 corresponding to the first traction member 71. The first traction member 71 is wound around the second winding groove 771. The setting of the second winding groove 771 can avoid interference between the movements of the components, thereby making the components more compact.

[0066] See also Fig.18The frame 100 provided by the present invention further includes a folding structure 8 for locking the folded state between the first pipe 1 and the fourth pipe 5.

[0068] In summary, please refer to Figures 1 to 19 , the working process of the frame 100 of the present invention is described in detail:

[0069] When the baby stroller needs to be folded (see the unfolded state Figure 4 ), press the operating member 96, so that the engaging member 92 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic member 97 and the matching member 93 under the traction of the second traction member 91, so that the first fixing member 94 and the second fixing member 95 can pivot freely, and then the first pipe member 1 and the fourth pipe member 5 can pivot freely, and the fourth pipe member 5 pivots and folds relative to the first pipe member 1 to form an anti-falling support foot structure (such as Figure 7As shown in the figure, during the process of the fourth tube member 5 pivoting and folding relative to the first tube member 1, the driving member 77 rotates, and the engaging buckle 811 is engaged with the fixing ring 11 under the drive of the driving member 77, thereby locking the folded state between the first tube member 1 and the fourth tube member 5. At the same time, the rotation of the driving member 77 drives the traction of the first traction member 71, and the pushing member 72 pushes the locking member 75 to move under the traction of the first traction member 71. The locking member 75 moves along the pivot axis between the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74. The engaging tooth 751 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 76 under the push of the pushing member 72, withdraws from the first tooth 732 and fully extends into the second tooth When the first tooth 732 is engaged, the locking tooth 751 no longer restricts the relative position of the first tooth 732 and the second tooth 741, so that the first mounting seat 73 and the second mounting seat 74 can pivot relative to each other, thereby allowing the first tube 1 and the third tube 3 to pivot freely. The pivoting and contracting of the first tube 1 relative to the third tube 3 causes the linkage rod 43 to link the second rod 44 to pivot and contract relative to the pivot frame 41, so that the third tube 3 can pivot and contract relative to the second tube 2, thereby achieving the pivoting and contracting between the first tube 1 and the third tube 3 and linking the pivoting and contracting between the second tube 2 and the third tube 3.

[0070] The frame 100 of the present invention is provided with a folding unit 4, which includes a pivot frame 41, a first rod 42, a connecting rod 43 and a second rod 44. The pivot frame 41 is pivoted to the pivot portion 10, and the pivot frame 41 is pivoted to the second tube 2; one end of the first rod 42 is pivoted to the pivot frame 41 at a first pivot point a, and the other end of the first rod 42 is pivoted to the pivot frame 41 at a second pivot point b, so that the pivot frame 41 and the first rod 42 together form a quadrilateral structure; one end of the connecting rod 43 is pivoted to the first tube 1, and the other end of the connecting rod 43 is pivoted to the pivot frame 41 at a third pivot point; one end of the second rod 44 is pivoted to the third tube 3, and the other end of the second rod 44 is pivoted to the The linkage rod 43 is pivoted at the fourth pivot point, and the second pivot point b, the third pivot point and the fourth pivot point are on the same pivot axis, so that the pivot frame 41, the first rod 42 and the second rod 44 together form a linkage structure. By pivoting and retracting the first tube 1 relative to the third tube 3, the linkage rod 43 links the second rod 44 to pivot and retract relative to the pivot frame 41, so that the third tube 3 pivots and retracts relative to the second tube 2, thereby achieving the pivoting and retracting between the first tube 1 and the third tube 3 and the pivoting and retracting between the second tube 2 and the third tube 3. The frame 100 of the present invention can realize the overall synchronous release and folding of the frame, and has the advantages of convenient folding, simple structure and easy operation.
