[0073] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that these descriptions are merely illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0074] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the attached drawings, or the directions or positional relationships in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use, which are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. "First", "second", etc. are only for the purpose of making the description easier to understand, without any other directional meaning, and cannot be used as a limitation on the present utility model.

[0075] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the foldable hanging basket device 100 utilizing gravity self-locking includes a bracket 101 , a sling 102 and a hanging basket 103 forming a sitting or lying space p, wherein the upper end of the hanging basket 103 is hung on the upper end of the bracket 101 through the sling 102 .

[0076] The bracket is the supporting structure of the hanging basket device 101, which is usually placed on the ground; it provides vertical support for the hanging basket to ensure the stability of the hanging basket when in use. The sling 102 allows the hanging basket 103 to be suspended on the bracket 101, allowing the hanging basket 103 to swing or shake appropriately in space, increasing the comfort of use.

[0077] The hanging basket 103 is the main part of the device, providing a sitting and lying space p for the user to rest or relax. The sitting and lying space p is designed according to ergonomics to provide comfortable support.

[0078] The hanging basket 103 is composed of two symmetrical sub-hanging basket assemblies 10, and a flexible connector s is connected between adjacent hanging basket assemblies 10. The sub-hanging basket assembly 10 includes a frame 11 composed of multiple rod bodies and flexible connectors s connected between adjacent rod bodies. The flexible connector s ensures the synchronous linkage between the two sub-hanging basket assemblies 10, so that when the hanging basket is unfolded or folded, each part can move in a coordinated manner. The flexible connector s helps to control the amplitude of the unfolding or folding of the rod body. Moreover, since the flexible connector s allows a certain degree of elastic deformation, they can absorb and disperse the vibration caused by the user's activities, improving the comfort when sitting or lying.

[0079] In addition, the flexible connectors allow the various rods of the hanging basket to be folded in a smooth manner, reducing friction and resistance during the folding process. Due to its soft nature, the flexible connectors reduce the collision and damage that may occur between hard parts during folding and unfolding, and the overall volume after folding will be smaller.

[0080] The frame 11 includes a front main frame rod a1 and at least two support rods a2. The two front main frame rods a1 form an entrance annular ring 13 of the hanging basket. The entrance annular ring 13 has a sufficient opening for users to enter and exit the sitting and lying space freely. All the support rods a2 form a back fence 14 of the hanging basket to support the back area of ​​the human body and provide stable and comfortable sitting and lying conditions for users.

[0081] It should be noted that, of course, a flexible cloth surface can be connected only between the two front main frame rods a1 to achieve the purpose of self-locking of the hanging basket based on its own weight, and the specific technical solution of the back component can be flexibly changed, for example, a pure flexible cloth surface can be used.

[0082] The front main frame a1 includes an arc-shaped main section a11 and connecting sections a12 at the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped main section a11. The arc-shaped main section a11 is bent at the surface where the entrance annular ring 13 is located, and the connecting section a12 is bent and extended from the arc-shaped main section a11 toward the direction where the sitting and lying space p is located.

[0083] The arc-shaped main body section a11 is the main part of the front main frame rod a1, which is bent on the plane where the entrance annular ring 13 is located to form the front profile of the hanging basket. The arc-shaped design not only provides a beautiful appearance, but also provides users with a better field of vision and a comfortable experience when using it. The degree of curvature and size of the arc-shaped main body section a11 will ensure the stability and durability of the hanging basket.

[0084] The connecting sections a12 are located at the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped main section a11, and are bent and extended from the arc-shaped main section a11 toward the direction of the sitting and lying space p, and are connected to the support rod a2. The connecting sections a12 have sufficient strength and toughness to withstand various forces generated by the user when using the hanging basket.

[0085] The upper and lower ends of the support rod a2 are respectively axially connected to the upper and lower connecting sections of the front main frame rod a1; the free ends of the connecting sections a12 of the left and right front main frame rods a1 are axially connected to each other to form an upper axial connection point g1 and a lower axial connection point g2.

[0086] The upper and lower ends of the support rod a2 are respectively connected to the upper connecting section and the lower connecting section of the front main frame rod a1, providing a stable frame structure for the hanging basket. The technical means formed by the rotation of the support rod a2 and the upper and lower axis joints of the front main frame rod a1 can more effectively utilize the applied external force, making the folding and unfolding process smoother and more labor-saving. The user can realize the rotation of the support rod a2 and the front main frame rod a1 through simple actions (such as pushing or pulling), thereby controlling the folding and unfolding of the hanging basket without complicated operations or tools.

[0087] In addition, the synchronous rotation of the support rod a2 and the front main frame rod a1 ensures the consistency and uniformity of the hanging basket when changing states, avoiding structural damage or imbalance caused by asynchronous movement of some components.

[0088] For the upper and lower axis joints, during the folding process of the hanging basket, the user applies a force to the front main frame rod a1 to move it toward the support rod a2, and the front main frame rod a1 rotates synchronously along the upper axis joint g1 and the lower axis joint g2 to achieve the folding of the hanging basket.

[0089] During the deployment of the hanging basket, the user applies an outward force to the front main frame rod a1, and the front main frame rod a1 rotates synchronously along the upper shaft joint g1 and the lower shaft joint g2 to realize the deployment of the hanging basket. More specific technical means are further described below:

[0090] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the sling 102 includes three traction branches 30 in an inverted Y shape in the same plane, the upper traction branch 31 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket 101; the lower ends of the two lower traction branches 32 are respectively connected to the upper end of the arc-shaped main body section a11 close to the connecting section a12. Of course, the lower ends of the two lower traction branches 32 can also be connected to the connecting section a12, or connected to the upper part of the arc-shaped main body section a11 away from the connecting section a12. These connection points can realize the flexible expansion or folding of the hanging basket.

[0091] When the upper shaft joint g1 is located at the plane position where the three traction branches 30 are located, it is the critical position for the hanging basket to be unfolded and folded.

[0092] The upper traction branch 31 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket 101, and the two lower traction branches 32 are connected to the upper end of the arc-shaped main body section a11 of the front main frame rod a1 (or the lower ends of the two lower traction branches 32 can also be connected to the connecting section a12, or connected to the upper part of the arc-shaped main body section a11 away from the connecting section a12), which can form a stable triangular structure and enhance the stability of the hanging basket.

[0093] The user can realize the expansion or folding of the hanging basket by controlling the relative position of the upper shaft joint g1 and the plane of the traction branch 30, which simplifies the operation process. Moreover, the position of the upper shaft joint g1 corresponds to the plane of the traction branch 30, so that the hanging basket has a clear reference point at the critical position of expansion and folding, which is convenient for the user to identify and operate.

[0094] More importantly, when the upper shaft joint g1 passes the critical position, the self-weight of the hanging basket will assist in pushing the hanging basket to complete the folding or unfolding action, using gravity as the driving force to achieve the self-locking function, providing a more labor-saving and convenient use experience.

[0095] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, when the upper shaft joint g1 moves in the first direction and passes the critical position, the gravity of the hanging basket will assist in continuing to push the hanging basket 103 to complete the folding and retracting movement, and all the rods of the hanging basket in the folding and retracting state will be brought together; Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, when the upper shaft joint g2 moves in the second direction and passes the critical position, the gravity of the hanging basket 103 will assist in continuing to push the hanging basket 103 to complete the unfolding movement, and all the rod bodies of the hanging basket in the unfolded use state are separated from each other by a preset distance; the separation distance of all the rod bodies is limited by the length of the flexible connecting belt.

[0096] The movement of the upper shaft joint g1 and the lower shaft joint g2 triggers the automatic folding and unfolding of the hanging basket, using gravity as the driving force to reduce the complexity of user operation. In the folded and retracted state, all the rods are close together, minimizing the space occupied by the hanging basket and reducing the pressure of storage and transportation.

[0097] The flexible connecting belt limits the maximum distance that the rod bodies are separated, thereby preventing the front main frame rod a1 from being unfolded beyond the limit.

[0098] More importantly, the hanging basket automatically reaches its final state of folding or unfolding based on its own weight, reducing its dependence on external forces. Moreover, when the hanging basket can be unfolded or folded based on its own weight, it also reduces complex mechanical parts, making the overall structure of the hanging basket simpler and saving production costs.

[0099] The above technical solution aims to emphasize that the hanging basket device uses its own gravity as a driving force to achieve automatic folding and unfolding, reducing the complexity of manual operation. When the user sits in the hanging basket, his weight increases the gravity acting on the hanging basket, thereby enhancing the self-locking effect, making the hanging basket more stable under load and reducing the risk of accidents. In addition, the human body's gravity is naturally involved based on the characteristics of product use, and the entire locking and tightening action is more natural, and it can be used safely without additional complex locking operations.

[0100] In addition, after folding, the hanging basket pole body is compact and close together, which significantly reduces the storage space and is easy to carry and transport.

[0101] The technological innovation of using gravity as a driving force demonstrates the product's advanced design ideas and technological breakthroughs in the field of leisure furniture. By cleverly converting gravity into operational convenience, the hanging basket device not only improves the user experience, but also enhances the practicality and safety of the product by simplifying the operating process. In addition, this technical means also reflects a high level of concern for environmental protection and economy, and provides a new direction for the design and manufacture of leisure furniture.

[0102] Preferably, the left and right connecting sections a12 form a trumpet-shaped structure, and the upper shaft joint g1 and the lower shaft joint g2 are located at the inner end of the trumpet-shaped structure. The trumpet-shaped structure provides a larger support area, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the connecting section a12. The trumpet-shaped structure helps to more evenly distribute the force transmitted by the support rod a2 and reduce stress concentration; the trumpet-shaped structure can also make the folding and unfolding actions smoother, thereby improving the folding efficiency of the hanging basket. Moreover, this technical means can also help the upper and lower shaft joints maintain better balance and stability during the unfolding and folding process of the hanging basket.

[0103] Or, if Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, a shaft connecting plate is provided at the connection between the connecting section a12 of the front main frame rod a1 and the arc-shaped main body section a11, and the support rod a2 is shaft-connected to the corresponding shaft connecting plate. Fig.12 As shown, the free end of the connecting section a12 of the front main frame rod a1 is axially connected, and the left and right connecting sections a12 are approximately located on the same straight line; in the unfolded state, as shown Fig.13 As shown, the left and right connecting sections a12 are close to each other after rotating and retracting based on the free ends, so that the front sections of the left and right arc-shaped main sections a11 are connected and connected, and the outer edge frame of the entire hanging basket frame forms a continuous annular structure, so that users can sit more comfortably and the appearance is more coherent and beautiful.

[0104] In addition, preferably, the flexible connector s is a braided rope, rattan or cloth strip. Braided rope, rattan and cloth strips have a variety of weaving methods and styles, providing a variety of options for the design of the hanging basket.

[0105] The three traction branches 30 are three metal chain branches or high-strength ropes; the metal chains or high-strength ropes provide extremely high strength and durability, and can withstand various forces generated during the use of the hanging basket. These materials allow the traction branches 30 to have a certain degree of flexibility, so that the hanging basket can swing appropriately and flexibly when in use.

[0106] In addition, it should be noted that the length of the lower traction branch 32 is directly related to the connection point of the lower end of the lower traction branch 32. Specifically, the farther the connection point of the lower ends of the two lower traction branches 32 is from the connection section a12, the longer the length of the lower traction branch 32 will be.

[0107] The upper end of the bracket 101 is connected to a spring 40, and the upper traction branch 31 is connected to the spring 40. The use of the spring 40 can absorb the vibration caused by the use of the hanging basket, reducing the impact on the hanging basket structure and the user. The spring 40 can automatically adjust the tension to adapt to loads of different weights to ensure the balance and stability of the hanging basket.
