[0076] Embodiment
[0077] Refer to Figures 1 - 8 , in this embodiment, a foldable mobile assistance device is proposed, including a bracket 100, a seat 200, a support leg 300, a first locking mechanism, and a second locking mechanism.
[0078] The seat 200 is movably connected to the bracket 100, and the support leg 300 is movably connected to the bracket 100. Specifically, the seat 200 is rotatably connected to the bracket 100, and the support leg 300 is rotatable with the bracket 100.
[0079] The first locking mechanism is used to lock the seat 200 so that the seat 200 is in the deployed state and the seat 200 is locked to the bracket 100. When the first locking mechanism releases the locking of the seat 200, the seat 200 can be folded, and the seat 200 is movable relative to the bracket 100.
[0080] The second locking mechanism is used to lock the support leg 300 when the seat 200 is in the deployed state so that the support leg 300 is locked to the bracket 100. When the seat 200 is folded, the second locking mechanism releases the locking of the support leg 300, and the support leg 300 is movable relative to the bracket 100. Wherein, when the support leg 300 is locked to the bracket 100, the support leg 300 is in the deployed state.
[0081] A link mechanism is provided on the seat 200, and the link mechanism is connected to the bracket 100. The link mechanism is used to pull the bracket 100 when the seat 200 is folded so that the bracket 100 is retracted.
[0082] By locking the seat 200 through the first locking mechanism and locking the support leg 300 through the second locking mechanism, the device can be in a stable deployed state for the user to use.
[0083] When the device needs to be folded, act on the first locking mechanism to release the locking of the seat 200, so that the seat 200 can be folded. During the folding of the seat 200, the second locking mechanism releases the locking of the support leg 300. At this time, the support leg 300 is movable relative to the bracket 100, so that the support leg 300 can be folded; in addition, when the seat 200 is folded, the link mechanism on the seat 200 will pull the bracket 100 to make the bracket 100 retract.
[0084] The bracket 100, seat 200, support leg 300, first locking mechanism and second locking mechanism of the foldable mobile assistance device can be interlocked, thereby improving the convenience of the folding operation and achieving the rapid folding of the device. In addition, since the bracket 100, seat 200 and support leg 300 can be retracted or folded, when the device is folded, the overall volume will be smaller, thus facilitating carrying and storage.
[0085] The bracket 100 includes a first frame body 110 and a second frame body 120, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the seat 200; the seat 200 includes a first seat part 210 and a second seat part 220, and the first seat part 210 and the second seat part 220 are rotatably connected; the support legs 300 include a first leg part 310 and a second leg part 320, and the first leg part 310 and the second leg part 320 are respectively disposed on both sides of the seat 200. Among them, rollers are provided at the bottoms of the first frame body 110, the second frame body 120, the first leg part 310 and the second leg part 320.
[0086] The first frame body 110 corresponds to the first seat part 210, and the first frame body 110 and the first seat part 210 are rotatably connected. The second frame body 120 corresponds to the second seat part 220, and the second frame body 120 and the second seat part 220 are rotatably connected.
[0087] When the seat 200 is in the unfolded state, the distance between the first frame body 110 and the second frame body 120 is the largest, and at this time, the bracket 100 is in the unfolded state. When the seat 200 is folded, the link mechanism pulls the first frame body 110 and the second frame body 120 to reduce the distance between the first frame body 110 and the second frame body 120, thus realizing the folding of the frame body.
[0088] In this embodiment, the first leg part 310 corresponds to the first frame body 110 and the first seat part 210, and the first leg part 310 and the first frame body 110 are rotatably connected; the second leg part 320 corresponds to the second frame body 120 and the second seat part 220, and the second leg part 320 and the second frame body 120 are rotatably connected.
[0089] As Figure 9 shown, the first locking mechanism includes a bolt 410 and a socket hole 420. The bolt 410 is slidably disposed on the first seat part 210, and the socket hole 420 is disposed on the second seat part 220.
[0090] When the bolt 410 is inserted into the socket hole 420, the seat 200 is locked by the first locking mechanism, and the first seat part 210 and the second seat part 220 are locked to each other. At this time, the seat 200 is in the unfolded state, and the upper surfaces of both the first seat part 210 and the second seat part 220 are in the same plane for the user to sit on.
[0091] When the bolt 410 is separated from the socket hole 420, the seat 200 is in the unlocked state, and at this time, the first seat part 210 and the second seat part 220 can rotate relative to each other.
[0092] As Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the first chair part 210 is provided with a mounting part 430, and a sliding groove 431 is provided on the mounting part 430. A sliding rod 411 is provided on the bolt 410, and the sliding rod 411 is inserted into the sliding groove 431 and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 431. The sliding rod 411 is connected with a handle 440, and the handle 440 is used to drive the sliding rod 411. Figure 2 The handle 440 is removed from it.
[0093] A spring may be provided inside the mounting part 430, and the spring may abut against the sliding rod 411 or the bolt 410. When there is no external force, the elastic force provided by the spring causes the bolt 410 to always extend out of the mounting part 430. When the bolt 410 is inserted into the insertion hole 420, through the action of the spring, it can be ensured that the bolt 410 and the insertion hole 420 always remain in a combined state. In this way, even when the seat 200 vibrates, collides or shakes, etc., the bolt 410 and the insertion hole 420 will not separate.
[0094] As Figure 9 shown, a convex part 450 is provided on the side of the second chair part 220, and the insertion hole 420 is provided on the convex part 450.
[0095] When the seat 200 is in the unfolded state, the bolt 410 is inserted into the insertion hole 420, thereby realizing the locking of the seat 200. When the seat 200 needs to be folded, hold the handle 440 with your hand and apply a force to the handle 440 (when the seat 200 is in the horizontal state, the direction of the force applied to the handle 440 is vertically upward), so that the handle 440 drives the sliding rod 411 to move; the sliding rod 411 moves relative to the sliding groove 431 and drives the bolt 410 to retract into the mounting part 430, so that the bolt 410 is separated from the insertion hole 420, realizing the unlocking of the seat 200. During the process of the handle 440 continuously moving upward under the action of an external force, under the action of gravity, the first chair part 210 and the second chair part 220 rotate relative to each other, so that the seat 200 automatically folds; in addition, at the same time, the first chair part 210 rotates relative to the first frame body 110, and the second chair part 220 rotates relative to the second frame body 120.
[0096] A groove for accommodating the handle 440 is provided on the first chair part 210 or / and the second chair part 220. When the seat 200 is in the unfolded state, the handle 440 can be rotated and placed in the groove, so that the handle 440 is stored in the groove, avoiding affecting the user's sitting. A cushion may be laid on the seat 200, thereby improving the comfort of the user's sitting. The cushion may cover the groove.
[0097] As Figures 11 - 13 shown, in this embodiment, the second locking mechanism includes a fixing part 510, a connecting part 520 and a locking part 530.
[0098] The fixing member 510 is provided with a connecting groove 511, and the fixing member 510 is fixedly connected to the seat 200. Among them, when the fixing member 510 moves with the seat 200, it drives the connecting member 520 to move.
[0099] The connecting member 520 is provided with a sliding shaft 521, and the sliding shaft 521 is inserted into the connecting groove 511. Among them, when the fixing member 510 moves with the seat 200, the sliding shaft 521 slides along the connecting groove 511.
[0100] The locking member 530 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 520. Among them, the locking member 530 is used to move under the drive of the connecting member 520. When the seat 200 is in the unfolded state, the support leg 300 is locked by the locking member 530; when the seat 200 is folded, the locking member 530 releases the locking of the support leg 300.
[0101] There are two second locking mechanisms, which are respectively named the second locking mechanism Ⅰ and the second locking mechanism Ⅱ. The second locking mechanism Ⅰ and the second locking mechanism Ⅱ are both second locking mechanisms, and their structures are the same. The different names are for the convenience of description in the following text.
[0102] The second locking mechanism Ⅰ corresponds to the first seat part 210 and the first leg part 310, and the second locking mechanism Ⅱ corresponds to the second seat part 220 and the second leg part 320. The fixing member 510 of the second locking mechanism Ⅰ is fixedly connected to the first seat part 210, and the fixing member 510 of the second locking mechanism Ⅱ is fixedly connected to the second seat part 220.
[0103] As Figures 14 - 16 shown, the first frame body 110 is provided with a sliding through hole 540, and the first leg part 310 is provided with a locking groove 550. The second frame body 120 is also provided with a sliding through hole 540, and the second leg part 320 is also provided with a locking groove 550. Among them, the structure of the second frame body 120 can refer to the first frame body 110, and the structure of the second leg part 320 can refer to the first leg part 310. The second frame body 120 and the second leg part 320 are not shown separately in the drawings.
[0104] The rod part 531 of the locking member 530 of the second locking mechanism Ⅰ is slidably inserted into the sliding through hole 540 of the first frame body 110. Among them, when the first leg part 310 is locked by the second locking mechanism Ⅰ, the lock head 532 of the locking member 530 of the second locking mechanism Ⅰ is inserted into the locking groove 550 of the first leg part 310; when the seat 200 is folded, the locking member 530 of the second locking mechanism Ⅰ releases the locking of the first leg part 310, and the locking member 530 of the second locking mechanism Ⅰ is separated from the locking groove 550 of the first leg part 310.
[0105] The rod portion 531 of the locking member 530 of the second locking mechanism II is slidably inserted into the sliding through hole 540 of the second frame body 120. Among them, when the second leg portion 320 is locked by the second locking mechanism II, the lock head 532 of the locking member 530 of the second locking mechanism II is inserted into the locking groove 550 of the second leg portion 320; when the seat 200 is folded, the locking member 530 of the second locking mechanism II releases the locking of the second leg portion 320, and the locking member 530 of the second locking mechanism II is separated from the locking groove 550 of the second leg portion 320.
[0106] The working principles of both the first locking mechanism I and the second locking mechanism II are the same. The following takes the first locking mechanism I as an example for corresponding description, where the fixing member 510, the connecting member 520, and the locking member 530 mentioned in the following content all belong to the first locking mechanism I.
[0107] The seat 200 is in the unfolded state, and the lock head 532 of the locking member 530 is inserted into the locking groove 550 of the first leg portion 310. At this time, the first leg portion 310 is locked and cannot rotate relative to the first frame body 110. When the seat 200 is folded, the first seat portion 210 rotates relative to the first frame body 110. During this process, the fixing member 510 rotates synchronously with the first seat portion 210; when the fixing member 510 rotates with the first seat portion 210, the connecting groove 511 of the fixing member 510 moves relative to the sliding shaft 521 of the connecting member 520. Correspondingly, under the guidance of the connecting groove 511, the sliding shaft 521 slides along the connecting groove 511; when the sliding shaft 521 moves to the end of the connecting groove 511, as the fixing member 510 continues to rotate, the sliding shaft 521 will be driven by the fixing member 510 and move; since the sliding shaft 521 is provided on the connecting member 520, the connecting member 520 will move with the sliding shaft 521; since the connecting member 520 is rotatably connected to the locking member 530, the connecting member 520 will rotate relative to the locking member 530 during the movement. In this way, the connecting member 520 will drive the locking member 530 to slide relative to the sliding through hole 540 of the first frame body 110; when the locking member 530 slides a certain distance relative to the sliding through hole 540, the lock head 532 of the locking member 530 will be separated from the locking groove 550 of the first leg portion 310, thereby releasing the locking of the first leg portion 310; when the first leg portion 310 is unlocked, the first leg portion 310 can rotate relative to the first frame body 110; driving the first leg portion 310 to rotate towards the side where the first frame body 110 is located realizes the folding of the first leg portion 310.
[0108] When it is necessary to lock the first leg 310, first rotate the first leg 310 and make it enter the unfolded state. At this time, the included angle between the support leg 300 and the first leg 310 is the largest. Among them, when the first leg 310 is in the unfolded state, the locking groove 550 of the first leg 310 is aligned with the sliding through hole 540 of the first frame body 110. After that, the seat 200 is unfolded. At this time, the first leg 310 rotates relative to the first frame body 110. Referring to the description of the relevant principle above, the fixing member 510 acts on the connecting member 520, and the connecting member 520 drives the locking member 530 to slide relative to the sliding through hole 540 of the first frame body 110, so that the lock head 532 of the locking member 530 is inserted into the locking groove 550; the first leg 310 is locked under the restraint of the locking member 530. At this time, the first leg 310 is locked in the unfolded state and cannot rotate relative to the first frame body 110.
[0109] As Figures 5 - 8 shown, the linkage mechanism includes a first link 610, a second link 620, a third link 630 and a fourth link 640. A first connecting arm 651 is provided on the first frame body 110, and a second connecting arm 652 is provided on the second frame body 120.
[0110] One end of the first link 610 is rotatably connected to the first seat part 210, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third link 630;
[0111] One end of the second link 620 is rotatably connected to the second seat part 220, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fourth link 640;
[0112] One end of the third link 630 is rotatably connected to the first connecting arm 651, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fourth link 640; among them, the part where the third link 630 is connected to the first link 610 is located between the two ends of the third link 630;
[0113] One end of the fourth link 640 is rotatably connected to the second connecting arm 652, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third link 630; among them, the part where the fourth link 640 is connected to the second link 620 is located between the two ends of the fourth link 640.
[0114] The third link 630 includes a receiving groove 660, and the receiving groove 660 is used to receive the fourth link 640 when the linkage mechanism is in the folded state; alternatively, the fourth link 640 includes a receiving groove 660, and the receiving groove 660 is used to receive the third link 630 when the linkage mechanism is in the folded state. As Figure 17 shown, in this embodiment, the receiving groove 660 is provided on the fourth link 640.
[0115] When the seat 200 is folded, the first link 610 moves with the first seat part 210, and the second link 620 moves with the second seat part 220; under the action of the first link 610 and the second link 620, the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 approach each other to realize the folding of the frame; at the same time, under the action of the first link 610 and the second link 620, the third link 630 and the fourth link 640 rotate relative to each other, and both the third link 630 and the fourth link 640 rotate towards the side where the seat 200 is located, thereby realizing the folding of the link mechanism.
[0116] As Figure 3 shown, the first leg 310 is fixedly provided with a first mounting arm 331, and the second leg 320 is fixedly provided with a second mounting arm 332. A first rotating arm 341 is rotatably provided on the first mounting arm 331, and a second rotating arm 342 is rotatably provided on the second mounting arm 332, wherein the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 are rotatably connected.
[0117] A locking device 350 is provided on the first rotating arm 341 or the second rotating arm 342. The locking device 350 is used to lock the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 so that the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 remain in the unfolded state. When the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 are locked, the seat 200 cannot be folded. Therefore, when the seat 200 needs to be folded, the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 need to be unlocked first.
[0118] When the locking device 350 releases the locking of the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342, the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 can rotate relative to each other for folding.
[0119] As Figure 18 and Figure 19 shown, in this embodiment, the locking device 350 is provided on the second rotating arm 342, a first tooth part 361 is provided on the first rotating arm 341, and the locking device 350 includes a second tooth part 362. When the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 are locked, the first tooth part 361 engages with the second tooth part 362, so that the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 cannot rotate relative to each other.
[0120] An installation groove 370 is provided on the first rotating arm 341. The installation groove 370 forms an opening on one side of the first rotating arm 341. Among them, the second rotating arm 342 is placed in the installation groove 370 through the opening. The end of the second rotating arm 342 away from the second mounting arm 332 is located in the installation groove 370, and this end is rotatably connected to the first rotating arm 341.
[0121] In addition to the locking device 350 mentioned above, the first rotating arm 341 and the second rotating arm 342 can also be locked by means of bolts, straps, buckles, etc.

The first elastic member and the second elastic member can be made of elastic bands or elastic ropes, etc. It should be noted that the first elastic member and the second elastic member are not shown in the drawings.
[0123] When the seat 200 is folded, the locking between the first leg 310 and the first frame 110 is released, and the locking between the second leg 320 and the second frame 120 is released. At this time, under the action of the first elastic member and the second elastic member, the first leg 310 rotates towards the first frame 110, and the second leg 320 rotates towards the second frame 120, thereby realizing the rapid folding of the first leg 310 and the second leg 320.
[0124] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the first frame 110 is provided with a first connecting buckle Ⅰ 711, and the first leg 310 is provided with a first connecting buckle Ⅱ 712.

Among them, the two ends of the second elastic member are respectively connected to the second connecting buckle Ⅰ 721 and the second connecting buckle Ⅱ 722.
[0125] Further, a first hanging portion is provided on the first connecting buckle II 712, and a second hanging portion is provided at one end of the second elastic member connected to the second connecting buckle II 722. The second hanging portion is used to be hung on the first hanging portion when the mobile assistance device is in a folded state. Wherein, when the second hanging portion is hung on the first hanging portion, the second elastic member passes through the perforation of the second connecting buckle II 722, and the second elastic member is in a tensioned state. At this time, the second elastic member acts on the second frame body 120, the second leg portion 320 and the first frame body 110 at the same time, so that the first frame body 110 and the second frame body 120 are kept in a folded state, and the second frame body 120 and the second leg portion 320 are kept in a folded state. The first leg portion 310 and the second leg portion 320 are linked by a first rotating arm 341 and a second rotating arm 342, the first bracket 100 is linked with the first seat portion 210, and the second frame body 120 is linked with the second seat portion 220. In this way, when the first frame body 110 and the second frame body 120 are kept in a folded state, and the second frame body 120 and the second leg portion 320 are kept in a folded state, the whole device can be kept in a folded state, thus facilitating packaging, transportation, storage, etc. of the device.
[0126] In this embodiment, the first hanging portion includes a hanging hole, and the second hanging portion includes a hook. In other embodiments, the first hanging portion includes a hook, and the second hanging portion includes a hanging hole.
