The first rotating shaft 2101 is passed through the first mounting hole 2201 and the first through hole 1204, so that the first The support leg 1201 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 2000. The second rotating shaft 2102 is disposed through the second mounting hole 2202 and the second through hole 1200, rotatably connecting the second support leg 1202 to the connecting member 2000. First bearings 2103 are sleeved on both ends of the first rotating shaft 2101, and the first bearings 2103 are located in the first through hole 1204. Second bearings 2104 are sleeved on both ends of the second rotating shaft 2102, and the second bearings 2104 are located in the second through hole 1200. The first bearings 2103 and the second bearings 2104 provide smooth rotation, reduce friction and wear, and extend the service life of the step stool 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, at least one connection hole 1205 is provided at the bottom of the upper support rod 1001, and at least one fixing hole 2005 corresponding to the connection hole 1205 is provided on the top wall 2002. The fixing member 1203 is passed through the fixing hole 2005 and extends to the connection hole 1205 to securely connect the upper support rod 1001 and the top wall 2002. This can effectively enhance the stability of the structure and prevent loosening or displacement.

[0043] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, a support rod 1003 is provided between the first support leg 1201 and the second support leg 1202. Both ends of the support rod 1003 are hingedly connected to the first support leg 1201 and the second support leg 1202 via hinges 1004. The support rod 1003 also includes a first connecting rod 1301 and a second connecting rod 1302. The first connecting rod 1301 and the second connecting rod 1302 are hingedly connected to each other via hinges 1004, allowing the first connecting rod 1301 and the second connecting rod 1302 to move between an unfolded position and a folded position along with the first support leg 1201 and the second support leg 1202. The first connecting rod 1301 and the second connecting rod 1302 are hingedly connected via hinges 1004, allowing them to adjust their positions along with the movement of the first support leg 1201 and the second support leg 1202, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the structure and making it suitable for different usage scenarios.

[0044] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a slide groove 1206 is provided on the inner side of the two first support legs 1201, and one end of the seat plate 3000 can be rotatably connected between the two first support legs 1201. A slide buckle 3001 is provided on the side wall of the other end of the seat plate 3000. The slide buckle 3001 is slidably set in the slide groove 1206, so that the seat plate 3000 has a storage state or a use state. A snap hole 1207 is also provided on the slide groove 1206, and the snap hole 1207 is configured to fix the seat plate 3000 in the storage state. A fixing rod 1208 is provided between the two first support legs 1201 and adjacent to the seat plate 3000. The fixing rod 1208 is configured to provide support for the seat plate 3000 when the seat plate 3000 is in the expanded position. By providing a slide groove 1206 on the inner side of the second support leg 1202 and a slider 3001 at one end of the seat panel 3000, the seat panel can slide within the slide groove, thereby achieving a transition between the stowed and usable positions, making operation more convenient for the user. When the seat panel 3000 is in the unfolded position, the fixing rod 1208 provides additional support, ensuring that the seat panel does not sag or deform during use, thereby improving safety and comfort.

[0045] In this embodiment, if Figure 7As shown, a guardrail 4000 is provided between the two upper support bars 1001 to prevent children from falling from the step stool 100. The guardrail 4000 is rotatably connected to the upper support bars 1001 via a rotating member 4001, allowing the guardrail 4000 to be rotated between an extended and a stowed state. The upper support bars 1001 also have a locking member 4002 for maintaining the guardrail 4000 in either the extended or stowed state. The guardrail 4000 effectively prevents children from falling from the step stool 100, providing additional safety. Furthermore, the guardrail 4000 is connected to the upper support bars 1001 via the rotating member 4001 and can be rotated between the extended and stowed states as needed, making it easy to use and highly flexible. The locking member 4002 secures the guardrail 4000 in either the extended or stowed state, ensuring that it does not accidentally move or become loose during use, making the step stool 100 more compact and convenient for storage and portability.

[0046] In this embodiment, if Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the upper support rod 1001 is provided with a pin hole 1209, and the guardrail 4000 is connected to a fixing block 4003. The fixing block 4003 includes a connecting portion 4101 and a locking portion 4102 intersecting the connecting portion. The locking portion 4102 has a first insertion hole 4103. The locking member 4002 extends through the pin hole 1209 and the first insertion hole 4103 and extends outward. The end of the locking member 4002 is provided with a locking buckle 4104, which is used to secure the locking member 4002 in the pin hole 1209 and the first insertion hole 4103, thereby maintaining the guardrail 4000 in the deployed state. This ensures that the guardrail 4000 provides reliable protection in the deployed state, while not occupying additional space in the stowed state, maintaining a compact and stable structure.

[0047] In this embodiment, if Figure 10 As shown, a second plug-in hole 4105 is also provided on the guardrail 4000. When the guardrail 4000 is in a folded state, the locking member 4002 can be passed through the pin hole 1209 and extend into the second plug-in hole 4105 to keep the guardrail 4000 in the storage position.

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 11As shown, the guardrail 4000 includes a first fence portion 4004 and a second fence portion 4005. The first fence portion 4004 and the second fence portion 4005 surround and form a safety space for preventing children from falling. The second fence portion 4005 includes a first flexible strap 4201 and a second flexible strap 4202. The first flexible strap 4201 and the second flexible strap 4202 are detachably connected. The first flexible strap 4201 is provided with a buckle 4203, and the second flexible strap 4202 is provided with a buckle Buckle 4203 fits into slot 4204, and buckle 4203 and slot 4204 can be connected and disconnected. When buckle 4203 and slot 4204 are connected, first flexible strap 4201 and second flexible strap 4202 are connected, and guardrail 4000 provides a safe space to prevent children from falling. When buckle 4203 and slot 4204 are disconnected, first flexible strap 4201 and second flexible strap 4202 are disconnected, allowing children to enter or exit guardrail 4000. Buckle 4203 and slot 4204 are detachably connected, allowing the guardrail to be easily assembled and disassembled as needed, making it convenient for children to enter and exit.

[0049] In this embodiment, if Figure 12 As shown, a flexible back pad 5000 is detachably connected between the upper support rod 1001 and the lower support rod 1002. A first hanging portion 4006 is provided at the lower end of each side of the guardrail 4000, and a second hanging portion 1210 is provided on the lower support rod 1002. The upper and lower ends of the flexible back pad 5000 are both connected to the first hanging portion 4006 and the second hanging portion 1210 via Velcro 5001. A pedal 5002 is also provided between the two lower support rods 1002. The pedal 5002 is located below the seat plate 3000 to assist children in sitting on the seat plate 3000. The flexible back pad 5000 provides additional back support and comfort for the user, especially for children, and can better protect their backs.
