Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of folding chair technology, and specifically relates to a folding leisure chair. Background Technology

[0002] As an innovative furniture design, the folding recliner provides a convenient, comfortable, and multifunctional seating solution, and is widely used in various indoor and outdoor settings. However, traditional folding recliners are connected by hinges, which leads to problems such as unevenness, the hinges easily pinching hands when folding, deformation of supporting components due to severe local stress during use, and inconvenient removal and replacement of the chair cover.

[0003] A search revealed that the prior art patent announcement number CN 202618997 U describes a folding recliner, which primarily addresses the problem of head drooping in existing recliners, causing extreme discomfort and affecting rest quality. This folding recliner mainly consists of a folding frame and fabric mounted on it. The folding frame comprises a faceplate and a support hinged to it. A support frame is also mounted on the faceplate. This support frame, acting as a load-bearing component, directly contacts the base frame. Uneven stress on the support frame can easily cause deformation, affecting the recliner's lifespan.

[0004] A search revealed a multi-functional folding recliner with prior art authorization announcement number CN 205432888 U, comprising a base, armrests, support rods, a seat surface, and a footrest tube; the armrests are respectively hinged to both sides of the upper end of the base; the foldable support rods are respectively hinged to the base and the armrests; the footrest tubes are installed at the lower end of the support rods and are hinged to the support rods; the seat surface is respectively fixed to the support rods and the footrest tubes; the base is connected to the footrest tubes via a telescopic rod; the seat surface of this recliner is fixed to the support rods and the footrest tubes via elastic ropes, making it difficult to replace and clean.

[0005] A search revealed a folding recliner with prior art patent publication number CN 108887969 A, comprising a folding frame and fabric mounted on the folding frame. The folding frame consists of a cover for mounting the fabric and a support rotatably mounted on the cover. Armrests are provided on both sides of the cover, and a seat frame is provided in the middle of the cover. A support part that contacts the ground is integrally provided on the seat frame. When the recliner is folded, the support part contacts the ground, and the cover folds inward, shifting the center of gravity of the recliner above the support part, making the recliner stand upright on the ground. The armrests of this recliner are made of ordinary rectangular tubes, which are too narrow to be suitable for resting the arms and are also not ergonomic.

[0006] A search revealed a folding recliner with prior art authorization announcement number CN 201533682 U, which consists of three main parts: a main body, a support part, and a connecting part. The main body comprises a movable rod, a crossbar, a backrest rod, a seat rod, and a seat cushion. The rear support leg, the front support leg, and the chair leg connector are riveted together with steel rivets, and the support part can move in a circular motion. The angle of the chair leg connector is the same as the angle of the rear support leg and is fixed. The armrest rod is connected with steel rivets and can rotate in a circular motion with the chair leg connector. The semi-circular rotation of the armrest rod can move the armrest back and forth, thereby driving the backrest rod to move up and down. The recliner is connected by hinges, and there is a height difference when it is laid flat. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a folding lounge chair. A novel rotating connector allows the legs to rotate smoothly from the bottom support tube. The absence of height difference between the connectors on both sides ensures a more level chair and avoids the problem of fingers being pinched by the hinges during folding. A pad cover prevents the supporting round steel from directly contacting the bottom support tube, solving the problem of deformation caused by excessive stress on the supporting round steel. The armrests feature a streamlined design that fits the arm size and optimizes posture, making it more ergonomic. The chair cover uses Velcro closures and can be fitted with pillows, seat cushions, and leg rests according to usage needs, making it more flexible in different scenarios. The Velcro closure also makes the chair cover easy to remove, clean, and replace.

The front of the chair cover also has Velcro, which can be used to attach pillows, seat cushions, and leg pads to the surface of the chair cover as needed. The Velcro connection makes the chair cover easy to install, remove, replace, and clean.

[0014] The rotating connector includes two sets of rotating connecting components and a rotating shaft. Each rotating connecting component includes a rotating plate and a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe has a rotating plate at its end. The two sets of rotating connecting components are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft. The contact surface of the rotating plate in the two sets of rotating connecting components is on the same plane as the central section of the connecting pipe. The opening angle of the two sets of rotating connecting components relative to the rotating shaft is 0° to 180°. During the rotation and opening process, the central sections of the two sets of connecting pipes always remain on the same plane. The connecting pipes of the rotating connecting components are respectively connected to the legs and the bottom support pipe by bolts.

[0015] The handrail includes a handrail board, a connecting plate II, and a connecting plate III. The lower front end of the handrail board is provided with connecting plate II, and the lower rear end of the handrail board is provided with connecting plate III.

The rear end protrudes to support the wrist, and the middle and rear ends are smoothly concave to support the elbow joint, increasing comfort and conforming to ergonomics. The rear end extends smoothly upward from the middle and rear ends, which, together with the protrusion at the front end of the handrail, increases the strength of the handrail.

[0016] When the folding chair is in seat position, connecting plate I and the supporting round steel tilt forward, and the pad sleeve fitted on the supporting round steel fits into the bottom support tube. The supporting round steel lifts the back support tube to form the seat position. When the folding chair is in reclining position, connecting plate I and the supporting round steel tilt backward, and the pad sleeve fitted on the supporting round steel fits into the back of the bottom support tube. The back support tube tilts backward, causing the bottom support tube and the legs to form a flat surface, forming the reclining position. When the folding chair is in folded position, connecting plate I and the supporting round steel tilt backward, and at the same time, the U-shaped plate moves, causing the rear support legs to fold towards the bottom support tube, the back support tube to fold forward, and the legs to fold backward, completing the folding action. The folded folding chair is small in size and easy to carry.

[0017] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0018] 1) The rotating connector includes two sets of rotating connecting components and a rotating shaft; the rotating connecting components include a rotating plate and a connecting tube.
