Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of leisure rocking chairs, in particular to a rocking chair seat frame and the rocking chair. Background Art

[0002] The traditional leisure rocking chair is an integrated wooden rocking chair with low structural strength and a relatively simple appearance. Therefore, with the development of society, new leisure rocking chairs are becoming more and more popular in the furniture market. This new leisure rocking chair replaces most of the wooden structural components with metal structural components; this new leisure rocking chair usually includes an inner frame for setting support cushions and two wooden curved legs. The inner frame can be made of multiple curved metal rods welded in an interlaced manner into various shapes, such as arcs or hemispheres, which look more impactful visually. A seat frame is provided between the curved legs and the metal inner frame. The bottom end of the seat frame is connected to the curved legs, and the top end of the seat frame is connected to the inner frame, making the new leisure rocking chair both beautiful and durable.

[0003] However, this new leisure rocking chair has some shortcomings when transporting, such as Figure 10 As shown, an existing seat frame adopts a square structure, including four supporting legs for connecting with the arc-shaped legs, a frame plate arranged on the supporting legs and for connecting with the inner frame, and a reinforcing rod is further provided between the supporting legs and the frame plate to ensure the stability of the seat frame; however, the supporting legs, the frame plate and the reinforcing rod are all connected as a whole by welding. When the leisure rocking chair is disassembled and packed, the seat frame occupies a large space, which will increase the transportation cost of the leisure rocking chair. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a rocking chair seat frame. By replacing the welded-in-one seat frame with two separate inverted U-shaped brackets, when the seat frame is packed, the two inverted U-shaped brackets can be overlapped with each other to save packaging volume and space, thereby improving the practicality of the seat frame.

[0005] Furthermore, a rocking chair is provided, in which a rocking chair seat frame is arranged between an inner package frame and the arc-shaped legs, so that more rocking chairs can be packed and stored in a limited transportation space, thereby reducing the transportation cost of the rocking chairs.

[0006] The technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:

[0007] A rocking chair seat frame includes two separate inverted U-shaped brackets, the inverted U-shaped brackets including a transverse portion and two longitudinal portions located at the front and rear ends of the transverse portion and extending downward, the two longitudinal portions being integrally bent and formed with the transverse portion; the transverse portion is used to support the inner frame of the rocking chair, and the longitudinal portion is used to connect to the curved legs of the rocking chair;

[0008] The rocking chair seat frame has an in-use state and a disassembled state. When the rocking chair seat frame is in the in-use state, the two inverted U-shaped brackets are symmetrically arranged between the arc-shaped foot and the inner frame along the left-right direction; when the rocking chair seat frame is in the disassembled state, the two inverted U-shaped brackets can be removed from between the arc-shaped foot and the inner frame and overlapped with each other.

[0009] Preferably, in the left and right directions, the two longitudinal portions on the two inverted U-shaped brackets are bent inwards so that the two transverse portions are located on the same arc surface, so as to adapt to the arc-shaped outer contour of the inner package frame.

[0010] Preferably, in the front-to-back direction, the two longitudinal parts on each inverted U-shaped bracket extend outward so that the distance between the upper ends of the two longitudinal parts is smaller than the distance between the lower ends of the two longitudinal parts; the longitudinal parts extending outward can form a larger support range in the front-to-back direction, so as to form a stable support effect for the inner package frame.

[0011] Preferably, the longitudinal portion includes a first longitudinal segment extending outward from the end of the transverse portion, and the first longitudinal segment extends vertically downward to form a second longitudinal segment for connecting to the arc-shaped foot; the vertical second longitudinal segment has a smaller outward bending angle relative to the arc-shaped foot, and the connection difficulty is lower.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of connecting plates spaced apart front and back are welded on the transverse part, and waist-shaped grooves are provided on the connecting plates for facilitating the installation of screws; the waist-shaped grooves have enough space for screws to pass through, and even if there is a slight error in the installation position of the inner frame, the inner frame and the inverted U-shaped bracket can be connected normally, which will not affect the installation efficiency of the inner frame.

[0013] Preferably, a reinforcing rod extending forward and backward is welded between the two longitudinal parts of each inverted U-shaped bracket; the reinforcing rod can limit the tendency of the two longitudinal parts on the inverted U-shaped bracket to move away from each other after being subjected to force, thereby avoiding deformation of the inverted U-shaped bracket after being subjected to force.

[0014] Preferably, a transverse tie rod is further included. When the rocking chair seat frame is in use, the two ends of the transverse tie rod are respectively connected to the middle position of the two reinforcing rods by screws. When the rocking chair seat frame is in a disassembled state, the transverse tie rod is removed from the two reinforcing rods and overlapped with the two inverted U-shaped brackets. When the seat frame is in use, the transverse tie rod can pull the middle of the two inverted U-shaped brackets in the left and right directions. When the seat frame is in a disassembled state, the transverse tie rod can be disassembled and overlapped with the inverted U-shaped bracket to save packaging space. The design is ingenious and kills two birds with one stone.

[0015] Preferably, the transverse tie rod includes a rod body and a mating section connected to both ends of the rod body, and the outer diameter of the mating section is smaller than the outer diameter of the rod body; the reinforcing rod is provided with a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole that match the rod body and the mating section respectively and are connected to each other, the rod body and the mating section are respectively located in the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole, and a threaded hole is provided at the outer end of the mating section, and a screw is inserted into the threaded hole to connect the transverse tie rod to the reinforcing rod.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes two transverse tie rods. When the rocking chair seat frame is in use, on the two inverted U-shaped brackets, the two ends of each transverse tie rod are respectively connected between the two opposite longitudinal parts on the left and right by screws. When the rocking chair seat frame is in a disassembled state, the transverse tie rods are removed from the two longitudinal parts and overlapped with the two inverted U-shaped brackets. When the seat frame is in use, the two transverse tie rods can pull the front and rear ends of the two inverted U-shaped brackets in the left and right directions respectively. When the seat frame is in a disassembled state, the transverse tie rods can be disassembled and overlapped with the inverted U-shaped brackets to save packaging space. The design is ingenious and kills two birds with one stone.

[0017] A rocking chair comprises an inner frame, curved legs and the rocking chair seat frame. The transverse parts of two inverted U-shaped brackets are supported on the bottom end of the inner frame, and the longitudinal parts of the two inverted U-shaped brackets are connected to the curved legs by screws.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the utility model using the above technical solution are:

[0019] The complex welded seat frame is replaced with two simple split inverted U-shaped brackets, so that the seat frame can be normally set between the inner frame and the curved feet of the rocking chair when in use, without affecting the normal use of the rocking chair; when the seat frame is in the split state, the two inverted U-shaped brackets can be overlapped with each other, further saving packaging space and transportation costs.

[0020] A threaded cross-tie rod is set in the middle position of the reinforcement rod of the two inverted U-shaped brackets, so that the two inverted U-shaped brackets can be more stable in the left and right directions when in use, avoiding the seat frame from opening outwards after being stressed and affecting the sitting experience of the rocking chair. When it needs to be packed for transportation, the cross-tie rod can be removed and overlapped with the inverted U-shaped bracket. The design is ingenious and kills two birds with one stone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the present invention has multiple embodiments, and the specific implementation methods are as follows:

[0035] Example 1: Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a rocking chair seat frame, including two separate inverted U-shaped brackets 1. The inverted U-shaped brackets 1 are metal rigid parts. The inverted U-shaped brackets 1 include a transverse portion 11 and two longitudinal portions 12 located at the front and rear ends of the transverse portion 11 and extending downward. The two longitudinal portions 12 are integrally bent and formed with the transverse portion 11. The transverse portion 11 is used to support the inner frame 3 of the rocking chair, and the longitudinal portion 12 is used to connect to the curved foot 2 of the rocking chair.

[0036] The rocking chair seat frame has a use state and a split state. When the rocking chair seat frame is in the use state, the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 are symmetrically arranged between the arc-shaped foot 2 and the inner frame 3 along the left and right directions; when the rocking chair seat frame is in the split state, the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 can be removed from between the arc-shaped foot 2 and the inner frame 3 and overlapped with each other.

[0037] Further, if Figure 3-4 As shown, the outer contour of the inner frame 3 of most existing rocking chairs is arc-shaped. Therefore, the seat frame in this embodiment takes this into consideration. In the left and right directions, the two longitudinal portions 12 on the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 are bent inward, so that the two transverse portions 11 on the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 are located on the same arc-shaped surface; at the same time, in the front-to-back direction, the transverse portion 11 on each inverted U-shaped bracket 1 is recessed downward and forms an arc extending front to back, so that in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction, the transverse portion 11 can better fit the arc-shaped outer contour of the inner frame 3.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the seat frame, in the front-to-back direction, the two longitudinal portions 12 on each inverted U-shaped bracket 1 extend outward, so that the distance between the upper ends of the two longitudinal portions 12 is smaller than the distance between the lower ends of the two longitudinal portions 12, that is, the two longitudinal portions 12 are in an outwardly flared shape. The longitudinal portions 12 extending outward can form a larger support range in the front-to-back direction to form a stable support effect for the inner frame 3.

[0039] Furthermore, the outward expansion of the longitudinal portion 12 on each inverted U-shaped bracket 1 can indeed increase the support range in the front-to-back direction, but it is also necessary to consider that the longitudinal portion 12 needs to be connected to the arc-shaped foot 2. If the longitudinal portion 12 is opened at too large an angle, the arc-shaped foot 2 and the longitudinal portion 12 will deviate from the vertical state. Therefore, in this embodiment, the longitudinal portion 12 includes a first longitudinal segment 121 extending outward from the end of the transverse portion 11, and the first longitudinal segment 121 extends vertically downward to form a second longitudinal segment 122 for connecting to the arc-shaped foot 2; the vertical second longitudinal segment 122 has a smaller outward bending angle relative to the arc-shaped foot 2, and the connection difficulty is lower.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to connect the inner frame 3 of the rocking chair to the seat frame, a plurality of connecting plates 13 spaced apart front and rear are welded on the transverse portion 11, and a waist-shaped groove 14 is provided on the connecting plate 13 for facilitating the installation of screws; the waist-shaped groove 14 has sufficient space for screws to pass through, and even if there is a slight error in the installation position of the inner frame 3, the inner frame 3 and the inverted U-shaped bracket 1 can also be connected normally, which will not affect the installation efficiency of the inner frame 3.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to maintain the stability of the inverted U-shaped bracket 1, a reinforcing rod 15 extending forward and backward is welded between the two longitudinal parts 12 of each inverted U-shaped bracket 1; the reinforcing rod 15 can limit the tendency of the two longitudinal parts 12 on the inverted U-shaped bracket 1 to move away from each other after being subjected to force, thereby avoiding deformation of the inverted U-shaped bracket 1 after being subjected to force.

[0042] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, in order to prevent the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 in the use state from opening to the left and right sides after being subjected to force, the seat frame also includes a transverse tie rod 16. When the rocking chair seat frame is in use, the two ends of the transverse tie rod 16 are respectively connected to the middle position of the two reinforcing rods 15 by screws. When the rocking chair seat frame is in the split state, the transverse tie rod 16 is removed from the two reinforcing rods 15 and overlapped with the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1; when the seat frame is in use, the transverse tie rod 16 can pull the middle of the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 in the left and right directions respectively. When the seat frame is in the split state, the transverse tie rod 16 can be removed after disassembly. It is overlapped with the inverted U-shaped bracket 1 to save packaging space. The design is ingenious and kills two birds with one stone. The connection method is as follows: the transverse rod 16 includes a rod body and a matching section 161 connected to both ends of the rod body. The outer diameter of the matching section 161 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rod body. The reinforcing rod 15 is provided with a first positioning hole 151 and a second positioning hole 152 that match the rod body and the matching section 161 respectively and are connected to each other. The rod body and the matching section 161 are respectively located in the first positioning hole 151 and the second positioning hole 152. The outer end of the matching section 161 is provided with a threaded hole, and a screw is inserted into the threaded hole to connect the transverse rod 16 to the reinforcing rod 15.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 7 As shown, a rocking chair is provided, comprising an inner frame 3, an arc-shaped foot 2 and the rocking chair seat frame. The transverse portions 11 of the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 are supported on the bottom end of the inner frame 3, and the longitudinal portions 12 of the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 are connected to the arc-shaped foot 2 by screws. Specifically, a support plate 31 corresponding to the position of the connecting plate 13 is provided on the inner frame 3, and a through-hole is opened on the support plate 31. When installing the inner frame 3, the screws need to be inserted into the waist-shaped groove 14 and the through-hole, and then the nuts are installed to tighten. It is locked; the bottom end of the second longitudinal section 122 of the inverted U-shaped bracket 1 has a boss 123, and a third positioning hole 22 for installing the boss 123 is provided on the arc foot 2, and the bottom end of the boss 123 has a screw hole 124, and the bottom of the third positioning hole 22 is provided with a through hole 21 connected to the outside. When installing the arc foot 2, the boss 123 is installed in the third positioning hole 22, and the screw passes through the through hole 21 and is screwed into the screw hole 124 to connect the arc foot 2 to the longitudinal portion 12.

[0044] Example 2: Figure 9As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that two transverse rods 16 are provided in this embodiment. When the rocking chair seat frame is in use, on the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1, the two ends of each transverse rod 16 are respectively connected between the two opposite longitudinal parts 12 on the left and right by screws. When the rocking chair seat frame is in a disassembled state, the transverse rod 16 is removed from the two longitudinal parts 12 and overlapped with the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1; when the seat frame is in use, the two transverse rods 16 can pull the front and rear ends of the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 in the left and right directions respectively. When the seat frame is in a disassembled state, the transverse rod 16 can be overlapped with the inverted U-shaped bracket 1 after disassembly to save packaging space, thereby achieving the same reinforcement and stabilization effect of the two inverted U-shaped brackets 1 as in the above embodiment without relying on the reinforcement rod 15.

[0045] The above is a schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the inventive purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
