[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a folding stroller includes two frames 3 arranged opposite to each other, a folding frame 1 connected between the two frames 3 and capable of being folded or unfolded, and a connecting member 2 hingedly connected to the two frames 3 and the folding frame 1. The connecting member 2 is movably provided with a locking member 21. When the folding frame 1 is in the folded state, the locking member 21 disengages from the folding frame 1, and the folding frame 1 drives the two frames 3 toward each other for folding. When the folding frame 1 is in the unfolded state, the folding frame 1 drives the two frames 3 away from each other for unfolding. The locking member 21 is used to be fixedly connected to the folding frame 1 to maintain the folding frame 1 in the unfolded state. After adopting the structure of the utility model, when the folding frame is in the unfolded state, the two frames are relatively apart and unfolded. At this time, the locking member on the connecting member cooperates with the folding frame to maintain the folding frame in the unfolded state. When folding is required, the folding frame is disengaged from the locking member by bend, and the folding frame drives the two frames toward each other for folding, thereby achieving the effect of rapid folding and unfolding, and the folding frame can be kept in the unfolded state, which is easier to operate.

[0025] As a specific solution, not a limitation, the locking member 21 is provided with a limiting hole 211 for limiting the position, and the folding frame 1 is provided with a fixing post 212. The fixing post 22 cooperates with the limiting hole 211 to secure the folding frame 1 in the expanded state. The locking member 21 includes a movable handle 213. When the fixing post 22 cooperates with the limiting hole 211, the folding frame 1 can be maintained in the expanded state. The connection between the handle 213 and the connecting member 2 is a flexible curved surface structure. When the folding stroller needs to be folded, the handle 213 is simply moved to disengage the mounting post 22 from the limiting hole 211, allowing the folding frame 1 to be quickly folded, thereby achieving a quick folding effect.

[0026] This is a specific solution and not a limitation. The folding frame 1 has two folding components 11 symmetrically arranged relative to the connecting member 2. The folding components 11 include a first hinge 111, a first short rod 112, a first connecting rod 113, a first connecting rod 114, a second connecting rod 115, and a second hinge 116. The first hinge 111 is fixed to one frame 3. The first hinge 111 is hinged to one end of the first short rod 112. The other end of the first short rod 112 is hinged to the first connecting rod 113 and the first connecting rod 114. The first connecting rod 113 is hinged to the connecting member 2. The first connecting rod 114 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 115. The other end of the second connecting rod 115 is hinged to the second hinge 116 on the other frame 3. By designing the folding frame to be foldable, the front frame 31 and the rear frame 32 can be moved relative to or away from each other through the linkage of the folding frame 1, thereby achieving the function of folding and unfolding the stroller. When the folding frame is in the unfolded state, two limiting holes 211 are provided for respectively fitting with the two fixing posts 212 on the two folding components 11 to pass through and fix them, so that the folding frame remains in the unfolded state.

[0027] Furthermore, to achieve a better folding effect when the folding stand 1 is folded, the height of the first hinge 111 is higher than the height of the second hinge 116. Due to the different heights of the first hinge 111 and the second hinge 115, the folding stand 1 can form a structure similar to a quadrilateral when folded, which improves the folding effect.

[0028] Furthermore, to ensure a more stable structure when the folding frame 1 is unfolded, the frame 3 includes a column 9, a top hinge 7 is provided at the top of the column 9, and a top link 8 is hingedly connected to one end of the top hinge 7. The top link 8 is hingedly connected to the connecting member 2. When the folding frame 1 is unfolded, the top link 8 is horizontal and forms a quadrilateral structure with the two frames, making the folding frame 1 more stable when unfolded.

[0029] As a specific embodiment, but not a limitation, in order to provide the folding stroller with a better load-bearing capacity, the folding stroller includes a chassis 4 that can be deployed and retracted at the bottom of the two frames 3. The chassis 4 includes a first chassis 41 and a second chassis 42. The first chassis 41 is hinged to one frame 3, and the second chassis 42 is hinged to the other frame 3. The chassis 4 is provided with a limit assembly 43 that limits the folding of the chassis 4 when the folding frame 1 is in the deployed state. The limit assembly 43 includes a limit block 431 provided on the upper side of the first chassis 41 or the second chassis 42. When the folding frame 1 is in the deployed state, the limit block 431 is used to prevent the chassis 4 from moving downward. The limit assembly 43 includes a connecting post 432 for connecting the first chassis 41 and the second chassis 42 when the folding frame 1 is in the deployed state. The through-connecting column 432 in the base frame 4 includes two columns respectively installed on the first base frame 41 and the second base frame 42. The columns have through holes. When load-bearing is required, the first base frame 41 and the second base frame 42 are placed horizontally so that the through holes overlap. Screws are passed through the through holes and then fixed with nuts. The limit block 431 can be installed on the side of the first base frame 41 or the second base frame 42 facing away from the limit component.

[0030] Furthermore, in order to make the folding cart easy to push, a wheel set 5 for making the folding cart movable is provided at the bottom of the frame 3 .

[0031] Furthermore, in order to facilitate pushing the folding cart, the frame 3 is provided with a push rod 6. Preferably, the end of the push rod 6 is configured as a clamp-shaped structure, and the push rod 6 is movably connected to the frame 3 through the clamp-shaped structure.

[0032] The specific operating principle of the utility model is:

[0033] Operation principle of the unfolded state: When the folding cart needs to be unfolded, the connecting member 2 moves downward, causing the folding frame 1 to unfold and drive the two frames 3 to move relatively apart to unfold. When the folding frame 1 is fully unfolded, the limiting hole 211 on the locking member 21 cooperates with the fixing column 212 on the folding frame 1, so that the folding frame 1 and the two frames 3 remain in the unfolded state. Then the bottom frame 4 is lowered from the frames 3 and fixed, and the folding cart can be unfolded.

[0034] Operation principle of the folded state: When the folding stroller needs to be folded, the base frame 4 is folded onto the frame 3, and then the handle is bent so that the limiting hole 211 on the locking part 21 and the fixing column 22 are disengaged from each other, and the connecting part 2 moves upward to drive the folding frame 1 to fold, and drives the two frames 3 to move towards each other for folding.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
