[0002] Traditional rocking chairs on the market have an extended tail section for comfort reasons, resulting in a bulky package. To address these shortcomings, some existing foldable rocking chairs feature two or more sections that can be folded or retracted relative to each other, reducing the overall size of the folded chair. However, these existing foldable rocking chairs often require complex folding procedures or are difficult to fully fold. Therefore, there is a need for a new foldable rocking chair structure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a foldable rocking chair.

[0004] A foldable rocking chair includes two side riser frames and a cross-tube assembly disposed between the side riser frames. The cross-tube assembly is folded or unfolded to drive the two side riser frames to move closer together or unfold relative to each other. The side riser frames have arc-shaped ground contact portions, and further include extended rocking tubes. The extended rocking tubes are arc-shaped sections, one end of which is hinged to the arc-shaped sections of the side riser frames. The extended rocking tubes and the side riser frame ground contact portions together constitute the ground contact portion of the rocking chair. The chair further includes:

[0005] A slider is provided on the side stand pipe frame, and the slider can slide up and down along the rear stand pipe;

[0006] A support tube, one end of which is hinged to the slider and the other end of which is hinged to the extension rocker tube;

[0007] The first connecting rod is always located above the slider. One end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the slider. The hinged end of the first connecting rod and the slider changes in height as the cross tube assembly is folded and unfolded.

[0008] Optionally, the other end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the upper portion of the cross tube assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the cross tube assembly includes two U-shaped seat tubes with downward openings and cross-arranged, the lower part of the U-shaped seat tube is hinged to the adjacent side stand tube frame, the upper part of the U-shaped seat tube is connected to the adjacent side stand tube frame through a second connecting rod, one end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the upper part of the U-shaped tube, and the other end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the side stand tube frame.

[0010] Optionally, the other end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the second connecting rod.

[0020] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a foldable rocking chair, which has an unfolded state and a folded state, and is suitable for users to sit in the unfolded state.

[0022] The foldable rocking chair comprises two side riser frames 1 and a cross-tube assembly disposed between the side riser frames 1. The side riser frames 1 comprise a support frame consisting of a floor section 12, armrests 14, front riser pipes 13, and rear riser pipes 11. The side riser frames 1 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the foldable rocking chair. In a preferred embodiment, the rear ends of the rear riser pipes 11 and armrests 14 of the side riser frames 1 extend upward to form a backrest. The floor section 12 of the side riser frames 1 is an arc-shaped segment and further includes an extended rocking tube 15. The extended rocking tube 15 is an arc-shaped segment, one end of which is hingedly connected to the distal end of the floor section 12 of the side riser frames 1. Together, the extended rocking tube 15 and the side riser frame floor section 12 constitute the floor section of the rocking chair. In this embodiment, the floor section 12 of the rocking chair is divided into two independent parts: the side riser frame 1 floor section 12 and the extended rocking tube 15. The extended rocking tube 15 can be folded upward, which helps reduce the volume of the rocking chair when closed. In a preferred embodiment, the extension tube 15 is disposed at the rear of the side riser frame 1 to extend the length of the ground contact portion of the side riser frame 1. In other embodiments, the extension rocker tube 15 may be disposed at other locations, such as the front of the side riser frame 1. The location of the extension rocker tube 15 is not limited as long as it can cooperate with the ground contact portion 12 of the side riser frame to form the ground contact portion of the rocking chair.

[0023] A slider 32 is slidably mounted on the rear riser 11 of the side riser frame 1. The slider 32 can slide up and down along the rear riser 11. In other embodiments, the slider 32 can also be mounted on the front riser 13. Preferably, the slider 32 is a sliding sleeve that fits over the riser of the side riser frame 1. The use of the sliding sleeve simplifies the connection between the slider 32 and the side riser frame 1.

[0024] One end of the support tube 31 is hinged to the slider 32, and the other end is hinged to the extended rocker tube 15. The upward and downward sliding of the slider 32 allows the support tube 31 to drive the extended rocker tube 15 to rotate about its hinge point with the curved section of the side stand tube frame 1, switching between an extended and a closed state. Preferably, the support tube 32 is located behind the side stand tube frame. The support tube 31 is a rigid structure, providing rear support when the rocker is in the extended state, thereby enhancing stability. In this embodiment, the connection between the extended rocker tube 15 and the support tube 31 is located at the rear of the extended rocker tube 15. The support point of the support tube 31 on the extended rocker tube 15 is positioned further back, providing improved stability. The extended rocker tube 15, support tube 31 and side stand pipe frame 1 on the same side are in the same plane, so that the extended rocker tube 15, support tube 31 and side stand pipe frame 1 form a triangular stable support. In an optional embodiment, an upwardly open U-shaped connector can be provided on the upper end surface of the extended rocker tube 15, and one end of the support tube 31 is inserted into the opening of the U-shaped connector and fixed by a pin. The connection between the extended rocker tube 15 and the slider 32 can also be connected by the U-shaped connector, so that the extended rocker tube 15, support tube 31 and side stand pipe frame 1 on the same side are in the same plane.

[0025] The cross tube assembly includes two U-shaped seat tubes 21 that are opened downward and arranged crosswise. The lower portion of the U-shaped seat tube 21 is hinged to the adjacent side stand tube frame 1. The upper portion of the U-shaped seat tube 21 is connected to the adjacent side stand tube frame 1 through a second connecting rod 34. One end of the second connecting rod 34 is hinged to the upper portion of the U-shaped tube, and the other end of the second connecting rod 34 is hinged to the side stand tube frame 1. A seat surface is provided on the upper portion of the U-shaped seat tube 21. In the unfolded state, the upper portions of the two U-shaped seat tubes 21 are separated from each other from the unfolded seat surface. The lower portion of the U-shaped seat tube 21 is directly hinged to the stand tube of the side stand tube frame 1 through a pin hole and a pin shaft. Since the position of the hinge point is fixed, as shown in FIG. Figure 1-3 As shown, the height of the upper end of the U-shaped seat tube 21 changes when switching between the expanded and collapsed states. Therefore, a second connecting rod 34 is used to connect the upper portion of the U-shaped seat tube 21 to the adjacent side riser frame 1. This connects the U-shaped seat tube 21 to both the upper and lower portions of the side riser frame 1, enabling better linkage. The second connecting rod 34 is provided at least between the U-shaped seat tube 21 and the rear side riser 11 of the side riser frame 1. Preferably, the second connecting rod 34 is also provided to connect the U-shaped seat tube 21 to the front side riser 13 of the side riser frame 1.

[0026] Slider 32 is driven up and down by a first connecting rod 33. First connecting rod 33 is always positioned above slider 32. One end of first connecting rod 33 is hinged to slider 32, and the hinged end of first connecting rod 33 and slider 32 changes height as the cross-tube assembly folds and unfolds. In a specific embodiment, the other end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the upper portion of the cross-tube assembly. As described above, when switching between the folded and unfolded positions, the upper portion of the cross-tube changes height, thereby pulling first connecting rod 33 to move slider 32 up and down. Slider 32 drives rear riser 11, which in turn drives extension boom 15 to fold or unfold. In other embodiments, the other end of first connecting rod 33 is hinged to second connecting rod 34, which can also achieve the above effect.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
