[0032] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, a folding chair frame is provided, which mainly includes a supporting cross bar 1, a supporting vertical bar 2, and a supporting foot bar 3.

[0033] Specifically, a locking mechanism 4 and a sliding sleeve 5 are provided on the support crossbar 1, and the sliding sleeve 5 slides on the support crossbar 1 and is locked by the locking mechanism 4;

[0034] The lower end of the support upright 2 and the upper end of the support foot 3 are provided with mutually meshing gears 6, and are rotatably mounted on the sliding sleeve 5; the two are linked together, that is, synchronous unfolding and synchronous folding can be achieved.

[0035] It also includes a linkage rod 7, a first end of which is rotatably connected to the support vertical rod 2, and a second end of which is slidably connected to the support horizontal rod 1;

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes a spring 8 for driving the second end of the linkage rod 7 to move.

[0037] The folding chair frame with the above-mentioned design structure has a folding state and an unfolding state when in use:

[0038] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in the folded state, the sliding sleeve 5 is located in the middle of the supporting crossbar 1 and is locked by the locking mechanism 4. At this time, the supporting upright rod 2 and the supporting foot rod 3 are folded and close to the supporting crossbar 1;

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in the unfolded state, the locking mechanism 4 is unlocked, and the spring 8 is used to drive the second end of the linkage rod 7 to move toward the outer end of the support cross bar 1 and drive the support vertical rod 2 to rotate and unfold, synchronously driving the support foot rod 3 to rotate and unfold, and at the same time driving the sliding sleeve 5 to slide toward the outer end of the support cross bar 1.

[0040] The locking mechanism 4 can be various, such as a manual latch fixation method, or a magnetic method, etc., as long as the sliding sleeve 5 can be fixed. As one of the embodiments, in the present application, the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking block 41, an unlocking button 42, and a locking pin 43. The locking block 41 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the support crossbar 1, and the locking pin 43 is arranged in the support crossbar 1 and partially extends out of the support crossbar 1. The locking pin 43 is used to lock the sliding sleeve 5, and the unlocking button 42 is used to drive the locking pin 43 to retract into the support crossbar 1 to unlock the sliding sleeve 5.

[0041] In order to achieve automatic resetting and facilitate operation, the locking mechanism 4 further includes a resetting spring (not shown in the figure) for driving the unlocking button 42 and / or the locking pin 43 .

[0042] In order to achieve better support and a smaller volume when folded, the support foot rods 3 are provided with two groups, and a single group is respectively placed at both ends of the support cross bar 1. The single group of support foot rods 3 includes two, and viewed in the axial direction of the support cross bar 1, refer to Figure 5 As shown, two supporting cross bars 1 and supporting vertical bars 2 form a triangular support.

[0043] In order to reduce the storage volume after folding and enhance the structural stability, the supporting cross bar 1 includes two parallel and spaced apart bars, forming a slide groove area 11 therebetween. When the folding chair frame is in a folded state, the supporting vertical bar 2 is located above the slide groove area 11, and the linkage rod 7 is located in the slide groove area 11.

[0044] Reference Figure 6-7 As shown, as one of the matching modes between the linkage rod 7 and the supporting cross bar 1 , the second end of the linkage rod 7 is provided with two sets of rods 72 , and the sets of rods 72 are respectively slidably matched on two supporting cross bars 1 .

[0045] As one of the matching modes of the linkage rod 7 and the support upright 2, the first end of the linkage rod 7 is provided with a U-shaped connection part, and the U-shaped connection part is hingedly connected to the support upright 2. In this way, the connection is reliable and the folded volume can be made as compact as possible.

[0046] In addition, two support vertical rods 2 are provided, which are respectively placed at the two ends of the support horizontal rod 1.

[0047] As some other extended features, for example, the upper ends of the two supporting uprights 2 are provided with hanging rings 21 for installing a hammock, thereby realizing the function of a hanging chair.

[0048] For another example, the support pole 2 is retractable to improve the functionality.

[0049] The working process of the present application is that the folding chair frame is transformed from the folded state to the unfolded state. In the folded state, the spring 8 is in a compressed state. When in use, the unlocking button 42 is pressed to unlock the sliding sleeve 5. Under the action of the spring 8, the second end of the linkage rod 7 moves outward and deflects, thereby driving the support rod 2 to rotate. Under the action of the meshing of the gear 6, the support foot rod 3 also rotates with the support rod 2. In this process, the sliding sleeve 5 is synchronously driven to slide outward, thereby finally forming the following. Figure 2 Shown in expanded state.
