Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of daily necessities, and more specifically, particularly to an armrest joint folding structure. Background Art
[0002] A handrail refers to a horizontal bar or handle used to maintain body balance and support the body. Handrails are widely used in daily life, such as handrails on stairs, baby strollers, railings, subways, etc. Most handrails are fixed and do not need to be folded, but some handrails need to be folded, such as the handrails on some baby strollers. After folding the handrails, the baby strollers are convenient for storage and carrying. The existing handrail structures on the market are basically unable to be folded synchronously, and there is a one-sided locking problem, which is very inconvenient for consumers to use, and requires repeated unlocking operations to reach the folded state.
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the folding structure of the armrest joint, the applicant adheres to the spirit of research innovation and excellence, combines production practice, and uses professional and scientific methods to propose a practical solution, and therefore files this application. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a handrail joint folding structure in view of the existing technical status, which can complete the folding of two handrail tubes by pressing a button.
[0005] A handrail joint folding structure comprises: an handrail tube, an handrail button, a return spring, a rotating gear, a transmission plate and an handrail base, wherein the handrail tube is arranged on both sides of the handrail base, the handrail tube is hinged to the rotating gear through the transmission plate, the two rotating gears are meshed with each other, the rotating gear is hinged to the handrail button through a rotating shaft, a sliding rail is arranged on the rotating gear, a sliding rod passes through the oblique groove of the handrail button and the sliding rail of the rotating gear, the handrail button is provided with a longitudinal sliding groove, a longitudinal sliding rod passes through the longitudinal sliding groove, and the return spring is arranged between the handrail button and the handrail base.
[0006] Specifically, reinforcing iron sheets are inserted into the left and right sides of the connection between the handrail tube and the handrail button. One end of the reinforcing iron sheet is fixed to the handrail tube by bolts, and the other end of the reinforcing iron sheet is hinged to the transmission sheet.
[0007] Specifically, the rotating gear is distributed at the left and right ends of the handrail button, a circular hole on the rotating gear is hinged to the transmission plate through a rotating shaft, and the transmission plate is located on the inner side of the slotted end of the handrail tube.
[0008] Specifically, the slide rails of the rotating gear are divided into arc slide rails and oblique slide rails, the oblique slide rail is located at one end of the arc slide rail, and the sliding rod moves along the arc slide rail and the oblique slide rail.
[0009] Specifically, the left and right sides of the armrest base are provided with gaps for the armrest tube to swing, and the middle of the armrest button is provided with a slot for installing a rotating gear.
[0010] Specifically, a convex column is provided on the top of the armrest button, and one end of the return spring is sleeved on the convex column, so that the return spring can be initially positioned.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: pressing the armrest button drives the sliding rod to disengage the gear and the gear unlocking joint at the same time, and the two armrest tubes are folded together; when the armrest tube group is pulled into place during unfolding, the sliding rod is automatically engaged, and the two rotating gears are gear transmission to achieve the folding and closing synchronization function; the problem of unilateral engagement of the armrest is solved, and folding and opening are achieved synchronously, which brings a very good experience to the user; its structural design is more reasonable, and the folding method is also more convenient and quick.
