[0023] See also Figures 1 to 3 , which is a foldable folding stool of one embodiment of the present invention, includes a stool board 10, a left support board 20 and a right support board 30 arranged at the lower end of the stool board 10, a left side board 40 and a right side board 50 with a rotating shaft installed on both sides of the left support board 20 and the right support board 30, a connecting plate 60 installed at the free ends of the left side board 40 and the right side board 50 for connecting the left side board 40 and the right side board 50, and a limit block 70 installed on both sides of the left support board 20 and the right support board 30 for limiting the flipping angle of the left side board 40 and the right side board 50; slide rails 41 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the left side board 40 and the right side board 50, and the foldable folding stool also includes a pedal 80 slidably arranged on the slide rail 41.
[0024] The working principle of the folding stool of the present invention is as follows: when it is necessary to sit down and rest, the user can rotate the left side plate 40 and the right side plate 50 outward around the rotating shaft so that they gradually approach the top of the stool board 10, and then limit and fix the left side plate 40 and the right side plate 50 by the limit block 70. At this time, the back of the person sitting on the stool board 10 can lean on the connecting plate 60 installed between the left side plate 40 and the right side plate 50, and then pull the pedal 80 between the left side plate 40 and the right side plate 50 out from the bottom of the stool board 10. When the user sits on the folding stool, the feet can be placed on the pedal 80; when the user does not need to sit down to rest, first, remove the feet from the pedal 80, and then move the pedal 80 along the The slide rails 41 arranged on the opposite surfaces of the left side panel 40 and the right side panel 50 slide toward the direction close to the stool board 10, so that it is stored in a position where it does not affect the subsequent folding operation; then, the user can rotate the left side panel 40 and the right side panel 50 inward around the rotating axis. During the rotation process, the connecting plate 60 installed at the free ends of the left side panel 40 and the right side panel 50 will move synchronously with the rotation of the side panels, ensuring that the two side panels can fold in a coordinated and consistent manner. As the side panels continue to rotate inward, the left side panel 40 and the right side panel 50 will gradually approach the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30 until they are folded into a more compact state, completing the folding process of the entire folding stool, which is convenient for storage or carrying of the folding stool.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the foldable stool of the present invention has a left side panel 40 and a right side panel 50 connected by a rotating shaft, and the angle is limited by a limit block 70 after unfolding. When unfolded for use, the user sits on the stool board 10 and the back can lean on the connecting plate 60, providing back support for the user, reducing fatigue from sitting for a long time, and effectively reducing the occupied space when not in use; whether it is for outdoor travel, picnic, or indoor storage, it can be easily placed in a backpack, car trunk or corner of a storage room for easy carrying and storage; the extendable or retractable pedal 80 allows the user to adjust the placement of the feet according to his or her own body habits and comfort, further improving the comfort of use; the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30 provide a stable support base for the stool board 10, ensuring the stability of the stool board 10 during use and able to withstand a certain weight.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The foldable stool further includes a support plate 21 disposed between the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30. The support plate 21 is disposed between the stepping plate 80 and the stool 10. When a user sits on the stool 10, the weight of the user's body is primarily borne by the stool 10, while the support plate 21 serves as an auxiliary load-bearing device. The support plate 21 can share some of the pressure from the stool 10 and transfer this pressure to the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the entire foldable stool, enabling it to better withstand the user's weight and reducing the risk of damage to the stool 10 due to excessive pressure.
[0027] The foldable stool further includes a closing plate 31 mounted between the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30. The stool 10 and the support plate 21 are connected by the closing plate 31. A storage cavity with openings on opposite sides of the closing plate 31 is formed between the closing plate 31, the left support plate 20, the right support plate 30, the support plate 21, and the stool 10. Because the closing plate 31 is only open on opposite sides, the storage cavity has a certain degree of enclosure. The opening is designed to facilitate access to items, while the remaining closed structure prevents items stored in the cavity from falling out. The size and shape of the storage cavity are determined by the size and relative position of the various connecting components. It utilizes the space inside the foldable stool to provide an additional storage area. During use, users can place small items such as books, magazines, mobile phones, wallets, etc. through the opening into the storage cavity. Because the bottom of the storage cavity is the support plate 21, it can withstand a certain amount of weight, providing stable support for items placed therein. At the same time, the closed surrounding structure restricts the movement of items, preventing them from easily shaking or falling during movement or use of the foldable stool.
[0028] The folding stool also includes a storage drawer 32 disposed within the storage cavity. In this embodiment, the storage drawer 32 is provided with a drawer handle. The storage drawer 32 is disposed within the storage cavity and is connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity via rails or grooves. This connection allows the drawer to slide smoothly within the storage cavity, making it easy to open and close. During use, to access items stored in the drawer, simply pull the drawer handle, and the drawer will slide out along the rails. The user can easily see the items in the drawer and conveniently remove or insert items, just like using a regular desk drawer. This convenience allows the user to more conveniently manage and use stored items while using the folding stool.
[0029] The foldable stool further comprises a first rubber pad 11 disposed on the stool board 10 . The foldable stool further comprises a first elastic member 12 disposed between the stool board 10 and the first rubber pad 11 . The first elastic member 12 is located between the bench board 10 and the first rubber pad 11. When the user sits on the bench board 10, the weight of the human body will generate pressure on the bench board 10. At this time, the elastic member will be compressed, and the elastic member will generate an elastic force in the opposite direction of the pressure. This elastic force can cushion the impact force generated when the human body sits down. The shock-absorbing cooperation of the rubber pad, the first rubber pad 11 also plays an important role in this process. The rubber itself has good elasticity and damping properties, which can further absorb and disperse the impact force. When the elastic member is compressed, the rubber pad will deform under the action of pressure, and the impact force will be converted into internal energy between rubber molecules, thereby reducing the vibration felt by the user and providing the user with a more comfortable sitting feeling. The first rubber pad 11 is located above the elastic member, which can play a role of isolation and protection. On the one hand, it can prevent external sharp objects from directly contacting the elastic member, avoiding the elastic member from being punctured or damaged. On the other hand, the rubber pad can block impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the area where the elastic member is located, preventing these impurities from affecting the performance of the elastic member and extending the service life of the elastic member.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The connecting plate 60 includes a leaning surface 61 disposed toward the ground and a treading surface 62 disposed away from the leaning surface 61 . The tops of the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30 are connected to both sides of the leaning surface 61 , respectively. The tops of the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30 are connected to the two sides of the leaning surface 61 of the connecting plate 60. This connection method forms a stable triangular structure; it can effectively disperse the force, so that the folding stool can withstand large external forces in the unfolded state without being easily deformed; when the user sits on the stool board 10, the weight of the human body is transmitted to the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30 through the stool board 10; because the support plate is connected to the connecting plate 60, part of the force will be transmitted along the support plate to the leaning surface 61 of the connecting plate 60, and then dispersed to the entire structure through the connecting plate 60; such a force transmission path ensures that the various components of the folding stool can work together to bear the weight of the user; the leaning surface 61 of the connecting plate 60 faces the ground, and this design is to provide the user with the function of leaning on the back; when the user sits on the stool board 10, the back can lean on this leaning surface 61, and Since the two sides of the leaning surface 61 are connected to the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30, the leaning surface 61 can maintain a stable position and angle, providing reliable support for the user's back; the treading surface 62 of the connecting plate 60 is located on the side away from the leaning surface 61. In some special cases, this treading surface 62 can play an auxiliary support role; for example, when the user needs to perform some slight movements on the folding stool, such as adjusting the sitting posture or standing up from the folding stool, the foot can step on this treading surface 62 and use the additional support it provides to maintain balance; the existence of the treading surface 62 also provides more possibilities for the use scenarios of the folding stool; for example, in an outdoor environment, if the ground is uneven, the user can stabilize the folding stool by stepping on this surface, or when the folding stool needs to be placed in a higher position, the treading surface 62 can be used to operate it, which increases the practicality of the folding stool.
[0031] The end faces of the left side panel 40 and the right side panel 50 facing away from the connecting plate 60 are flush with the end faces of the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30 facing away from the bench board 10. When the end faces of the left side panel 40 and the right side panel 50 facing away from the connecting plate 60 are in the same horizontal plane as the end faces of the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30 facing away from the bench board 10, the user sits on the bench board 10 and, at the same time, the feet can step on the connecting plate 60, thus forming a new state of balance for the human body. From the perspective of human mechanics, this posture allows the center of gravity of the human body to be better distributed on the support structure of the folding stool; the user's weight is transferred to the bench board 10 through the buttocks, and then distributed to the left support plate 20 and the right support plate 30 by the bench board 10; at the same time, the force exerted by the feet on the connecting plate 60 is also transferred to the support plate through the connecting plate 60. The multiple forces balance each other, thereby increasing the stability of the user sitting on the folding stool and reducing the risk of falling due to unstable center of gravity.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the folding stool also includes a second rubber pad 63 provided on the leaning surface 61. The folding stool also includes a second elastic member 64 provided between the second rubber pad 63 and the leaning surface 61. When the user's back leans on the leaning surface 61 of the connecting plate 60, the back of the human body generates pressure on the second rubber pad 63; this pressure is transmitted to the second elastic member 64, causing it to be compressed; the second elastic member 64 will generate an elastic force in the opposite direction of the pressure, and this elastic force can buffer the impact force generated when the back of the human body leans on it, providing a comfortable back support experience; the second rubber pad 63 also plays an important role in the buffering process; it itself is elastic, and will deform when under pressure, further absorbing and dispersing the impact force; and the damping properties of rubber can reduce vibration. When the user moves his back slightly, the rubber pad can effectively reduce the impact caused by The discomfort caused by friction and collision makes the back support softer; the surface of the second rubber pad 63 usually has a certain degree of roughness, which can increase the friction between the back and the clothes on the human body; when the user leans on the leaning surface 61, even if the body shakes slightly, the rubber pad can prevent the back from sliding on the leaning surface 61 due to insufficient friction, thereby ensuring that the back can lean on it stably, improving the comfort and safety of use; the second rubber pad 63 is located above the second elastic member 64, and plays a role of isolation and protection; it can prevent external sharp objects from directly contacting the second elastic member 64, avoiding the second elastic member 64 from being punctured or damaged.
[0033] The above merely represents the preferred technical solution of the present invention. While the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the present invention is intended to encompass such modifications and variations.
