[0024] In some embodiments: the reinforcement folding assembly 4 includes a first reinforcement rod 41 hinged on the front frame 1 and a second reinforcement rod 42 hinged on the rear frame 2, one end of the first reinforcement rod 41 is hinged to one end of the second reinforcement rod 42, the first reinforcement rod 41 is hinged with a first connecting rod 411 hinged to the front bottom rod 11, and the second reinforcement rod 42 is hinged with a second connecting rod 421 hinged to the rear bottom rod 21, the front frame 1 is provided with a first support frame 12, the first support frame 12 includes a first direct connection portion connected to the front frame 1 and a first hinge portion hinged to the first reinforcement rod 41, the first direct connection portion and the first hinge portion are bent relative to each other, the rear frame 2 is provided with a second support frame 22, the second support frame 22 includes a second direct connection portion connected to the rear frame 2 and a second hinge portion hinged to the second reinforcement rod 42, the second direct connection portion and the second hinge portion are bent relative to each other, one end of the rear bottom rod 21 is connected with a locking member 211, the front bottom One end of the rod 11 is located inside the locking piece 211 and is hinged. One end of the locking piece 211 is provided with a lap portion 212 for lap-jointing the front bottom bar 11 in the unfolded state. The front frame 1 includes a first main frame 13 and a first top bar 131 hinged on the first main frame 13. The rear frame 2 includes a second main frame 23 and a second top bar 231 hinged on the second main frame 23. A connecting piece 3 is provided between the first top bar 131 and the second top bar 231. One end of the first top bar 131 and one end of the second top bar 231 are both hinged to the connecting piece 3. When the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are in the unfolded state, the first reinforcing rod 41 and the second reinforcing rod 42 are also in the unfolded state, so that the first connecting rod 411 and the second connecting rod 421 can respectively share the weight of the front bottom bar 11 and the rear bottom bar 21 to the first reinforcing rod 41 and the second reinforcing rod 42, thereby playing a reinforcing role.

[0025] Specifically, when the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are to be folded, the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are pushed toward each other. When the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 move, they respectively bring the first top bar 131 and the second top bar 231 closer to each other, so that the front bottom bar 11 and the rear bottom bar 21 also begin to move closer to each other, and the space between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 begins to decrease, thereby achieving the purpose of folding the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2.

[0026] When the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are to be unfolded, the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are pulled away from each other, so that the first top rod 131 and the second top rod 231 start to move away from each other, thereby causing the first main frame 13 and the second main frame 23 to start to move away from each other, and the front bottom rod 11 and the rear bottom rod 21 also start to move away from each other, and one end of the front bottom rod 11 is rotated again into the interior of the locking member 211, so that the overlapping portion 212 overlaps the front bottom rod 11, thereby limiting the front bottom rod 11 from continuing to rotate downward, thereby limiting the front bottom rod 11 to the unfolded position, and then The rear bottom bar 21 is also kept in the deployed position, and the first reinforcement bar 41 and the second reinforcement bar 42 are also moved away from each other. When the connecting member 3 is fully moved to the first working position, the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are fully deployed, and the first reinforcement bar 41 and the second reinforcement bar 42 are also deployed in parallel, so that the first reinforcement bar 41 and the second reinforcement bar 42 can respectively support the front bottom bar 11 and the rear bottom bar 21 through the first connecting bar 411 and the second connecting bar 421, thereby reinforcing the deployment between the first main frame 13 and the second main frame 23.

[0027] In some embodiments, a linkage support frame 5 is provided on the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 to ensure that the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are stable when unfolded.

[0028] Specifically, when the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 move away from each other, the first rocker arm 52 and the second rocker arm 54 respectively start to rotate around the hinges with the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 53. When the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are fully unfolded, the first rocker arm 52 and the second rocker arm 54 are aligned with the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 53, respectively, thereby reinforcing the unfolding of the first main frame 13 and the second main frame 23.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first main frame 13 and the second main frame 23 are both provided with a detachable support rod 14, the support rod 14 is provided with a roof 15, the first main frame 13 and the second main frame 23 are both provided with a detachable roller 16, and the second main frame 23 is hinged with a push rod 24. The roof 15 can prevent the sun from directly shining into the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2, and the cooperation between the roller 16 and the push rod 24 can facilitate the user to push the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2;

[0030] The specific process of folding and unfolding the folding stroller is as follows: when the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are to be folded, the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are pushed toward each other. When the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 move, they will respectively drive the first top bar 131 and the second top bar 231 to move toward each other, so that the front bottom bar 11 and the rear bottom bar 21 also begin to move closer to each other, and the first reinforcement bar 41 and the second reinforcement bar 42 will also begin to rotate through the hinge. After the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 complete the movement, an acute angle will be formed between the first reinforcement bar 41 and the second reinforcement bar 42. At the same time, when the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 move, the first rocker bar 52 and the second rocker bar 54 will also be driven to rotate, so that the first rocker bar 52 and the second rocker bar 54 and the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 53 form acute angles, so that the volume between the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 begins to shrink, thereby achieving the purpose of folding the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2.

[0031] When the front and rear frames 1 and 2 are to be unfolded, the front and rear frames 1 and 2 are pulled in the directions away from each other, so that the first top bar 131 and the second top bar 231 begin to move away from each other, thereby allowing the first main frame 13 and the second main frame 23 to start to move away from each other, and the front bottom bar 11 and the rear bottom bar 21 also begin to move away from each other, and one end of the front bottom bar 11 is rotated again into the interior of the locking piece 211, so that the overlapping portion 212 overlaps the front bottom bar 11, thereby limiting the front bottom bar 11 from continuing to rotate downward, thereby restricting the front bottom bar 11 to the unfolded position, and then allowing the rear bottom bar 21 to also remain in the unfolded position, and the first reinforcing bar 41 and the second reinforcing bar 42 will also move away from each other. When the connecting member 3 is fully moved to the first working position, the front and rear frames 1 and 2 are fully unfolded, and at the same time, the first reinforcing bar 41 and the second reinforcing bar 42 are also unfolded in parallel, so that The first reinforcing rod 41 and the second reinforcing rod 42 can respectively support the front bottom rod 11 and the rear bottom rod 21 through the first connecting rod 411 and the second connecting rod 421. The first connecting rod 411 and the second connecting rod 421 can respectively share the weight of the front bottom rod 11 and the rear bottom rod 21 to the first reinforcing rod 41 and the second reinforcing rod 42, thereby reinforcing the deployment between the first main frame 13 and the second main frame 23. When the first reinforcing rod 41 and the second reinforcing rod 42 are deployed, the first rocker arm 52 and the second rocker arm 54 also start to rotate around the hinge points with the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 53 as the axis. After the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are fully deployed, the first rocker arm 52 and the second rocker arm 54 will be aligned colinearly with the first connecting rod 51 and the second connecting rod 53, respectively, so as to reinforce the deployment of the first main frame 13 and the second main frame 23.

[0032] 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.
