Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of seats, in particular to a chair leg and a chair leg assembly. Background Art

[0002] As a seat that accompanies children in their studies, a learning chair plays an important role in the children's growth and learning process. Existing learning chairs have chair feet that are in contact with the ground at the lower end. The chair feet usually have multiple outwardly extending legs to provide the chair with stable support in all directions.

[0003] For example, in the chair leg patents with announcement numbers CN307866522 and CN306008365, the two legs on the front side of the chair legs are symmetrical and extend outward at an angle, and as the two legs extend forward, the distance between the two legs becomes larger and larger. This can expand the support range of the chair legs and make the seat more stable. However, when children sit down, the obliquely extended legs cannot be stepped on, and when their feet move outward, they will collide with the legs, causing safety problems such as tripping.

[0004] After adding a foot pedal to this type of chair leg, other safety problems will arise. For example, this type of chair leg is used in the foot pedal mechanism patent with announcement number CN220442284. The foot pedal in the patent is connected to a bracket, which includes a first bracket connecting part and a second bracket connecting part. The two connecting parts form an L-shaped structure, in which the first connecting part is connected to the lifting gas rod of the seat, and the foot pedal is slidably connected to the second connecting part to adjust the height of the foot pedal so that it is suitable for children of different heights. Larger children can step on the foot pedal in one step from the side of the seat and then climb onto the seat to sit down, but for smaller children, it is difficult to step on the foot pedal in one step. Since the distance between the two legs on the chair leg is too long, and the corresponding legs are all straight lines extending obliquely, there is no structure designed to cater to children's feet stepping on, so smaller children cannot step on the corresponding legs. If they step on the foot pedal directly, they are likely to step on air and collide with the chair leg, causing safety hazards when children sit down. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a chair leg, which has two extension parts that first open outward and a stepping part that extends forward at the end position of the extension part, so that the seat can provide a wide range of support while shortening the distance between the front ends of the two front supporting parts of the chair leg, so that the user can step on the stepping surface with his feet after sitting down, thereby preventing tripping when sitting down.

[0006] A chair leg assembly is further provided, wherein a footrest support and a foot pedal higher than the treading surface are arranged between two treading parts, so that the foot pedal and the treading parts form a stepped structure, so that children can step on the foot pedal step by step, thereby eliminating safety hazards when children sit.

[0007] The technical solution of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0008] A chair leg includes a base, the front end of the base has a left-right symmetrical front support part, the front support part includes an extension part, the corresponding extension parts on the two front support parts extend obliquely forward from the base and gradually open outward, the extension end position of the extension part continues to extend horizontally forward to form a treading part, and the upper end surface of the treading part is a treading surface tending to be horizontal.

[0009] Preferably, the tread surface is provided with textures for increasing friction; the textures can increase friction and prevent the user's feet from slipping when treading.

[0010] Preferably, the chair legs also include rear support parts symmetrically connected to the rear end of the base, and the two rear support parts extend backward from the base and gradually open outward; the rear support parts can provide support for the rear side of the seat, so that both the front and rear sides of the seat are stably supported.

[0011] Preferably, along the left-right direction, the distance between the two treading parts on the two front supporting parts ranges from 350 to 400 mm; a sufficiently large supporting range can provide sufficient supporting force for the seat.

[0012] Preferably, the tread surface width ranges from 90 to 100 mm along the left-right direction; a reasonable tread surface width range can provide sufficient treading area for the foot, making the foot more stable when stepping.

[0013] A chair leg assembly, comprising:

[0014] The chair legs;

[0015] A pedal support, connected between the two pedal parts;

[0016] The foot pedal is connected to the foot pedal support; and the foot pedal is higher than the upper end surface of the pedal portion, so that the foot pedal and the pedal portion form a step structure that is easy to step on.

[0017] Preferably, the left and right sides of the footrest support are connected to the pedal part by screws, thereby forming a reinforced structure for the two pedal parts; when the foot steps on the footrest, the two pedal parts remain stable and do not deform, and the force applied to the pedal can be transmitted to the ground via the footrest support and the pedal part. The pedal part is in direct contact with the ground and has a lower center of gravity, which prevents the seat from tipping over when the footrest is subjected to force.

[0018] Preferably, the footrest support is a cross bar with splicing parts connected to the left and right ends of the cross bar. The splicing parts are abutted against the lower end surface of the pedal part and connected by screws. The screw connection method is simple and firm, and can enhance the structural strength between the two pedal parts.

[0019] Preferably, a pillar is extended downward from the middle of the lower end of the pedal, and the pillar is connected to the pedal support along the longitudinal sliding direction. A control component is provided between the pillar and the pedal support, and the control component is configured to lock or unlock the longitudinal sliding of the pillar on the pedal support; so that it is suitable for use by children of different body shapes.

[0020] The utility model provides a chair leg and a chair leg assembly, which have the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0021] 1. The two extensions of the chair legs are opened outward to expand the support range of the chair legs and ensure the stability of the chair. If the two extensions continue to extend outward, the distance between the front ends of the two front supporting parts of the chair legs will be too large. Therefore, the stepping part of the chair legs extends straight forward instead of continuing to extend obliquely outward, which shortens the distance between the front ends of the front supporting parts. When the user sits down, his legs can be placed on the stepping surface or moved outward without tripping.

[0022] 2. After installing a foot pedal on the chair leg, the upper end of the foot pedal is higher than the tread surface of the treading part, so that the treading part and the foot pedal form a step structure, so that smaller children can climb onto the chair seat step by step by step on the tread surface and the foot pedal when sitting, and there will be no situation where the feet step on empty space and collide with the chair legs, thus eliminating the safety hazard of children when sitting.

[0023] 3. The footrest support is connected between the two treading parts and forms a reinforcement structure for the two treading parts. When the foot steps on the treading surface, the force exerted on the foot pedal will be transmitted to the two treading parts through the footrest support, and the treading parts will then transmit the force exerted on the ground. Since the treading parts are in direct contact with the ground, their center of gravity is lower. Therefore, when the child climbs onto the seat, the seat can remain stable and will not tip over.
