[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The present invention relates to a folding chair, comprising a seat 100; two first legs 200, both inclined upwards to the rear, with the sides of the seat 100 respectively hinged to the side of one of the first legs 200; two second legs 300, both inclined upwards to the front, with the side of the middle section of the two second legs 300 respectively hinged to the first legs 200, and the upper end of the second legs 300 used to support the front side of the lower bottom surface of the seat 100; and a connecting rod 400, with both ends hinged to the middle of the lower bottom surface of the seat 100 and the side of the upper end of the second legs 300 respectively.

[0039] The application of the above-mentioned folding chair has at least the following beneficial effects: When the folding chair is unfolded, the seat 100 rotates to a horizontal position along the hinge point with the first leg 200. During this process, under the action of the connecting rod 400 between the seat 100 and the second leg 300, the upper end of the second leg 300 also rotates forward until its upper end abuts against the bottom of the seat 100. At this time, the first leg 200 and the second leg 300 are arranged crosswise, and the upper end of the second leg 300 and the hinge point between the first leg 200 and the seat 100 jointly provide support for the seat 100, so that the seat 100 is reliably supported. At the same time, when folding, the seat 100 rotates upward and disengages from the upper surface of the second leg 300. During this process, the connecting rod 400 drives the second leg 300 to rotate, so that the second leg 300 and the first leg 200 come together. After folding, the overall footprint is small.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the upper end of the second leg 300 is provided with a plate structure 310, and the lower bottom surface of the seat 100 is provided with a slot 110 for accommodating the plate structure 310. During installation, the plate structure 310 is inserted into the slot 110 to fix the upper end of the seat 100 and the second leg 300, thereby preventing wobbling between the seat 100 and the second leg 300 and improving the comfort of the folding chair.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the slot 110 is provided with a plurality of grid-like recessed hole structures 111, and the insert plate structure 310 abuts against the recessed hole structure 111. The recessed hole structure 111 is used to increase the structural strength of the slot 110, while preventing the internal shrinkage of the slot 110 during demolding, and at the same time, it can play a certain role in anti-slip and support for the insert plate structure 310.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a triangular reinforcing rib 112 is provided between the side of the slot 110 and the seat 100. The reinforcing rib 112 is used to increase the structural strength of the side of the slot 110 and prevent the connection between the slot 110 and the seat 100 from breaking.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the two ends of the connecting rod 400 are respectively hinged to the slot 110 and the insert plate.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom side of the chair seat 100 is provided with a mounting hole 120 and a slot 130. The mounting hole 120 has an opening 121 facing downward. The rotating shaft 240 on the side of the first support leg 200 is rotatably disposed in the mounting hole 120. The slot 130 is provided with a locking block 500, which is used to block the opening 121. By providing the opening 121, the rotating shaft 240 on the first support 200 can be easily installed and removed from the chair seat 100. At the same time, the locking block 500 is used to block the opening 121, so as to restrict the rotating shaft 240 in the mounting hole 120. Disassembly and assembly do not require the use of tools to remove bolts, saving disassembly and assembly time.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the spacing of the openings 121 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting holes 120. The rotating shaft 240 is provided with two mounting surfaces 241, and the spacing between the two mounting surfaces 241 matches the spacing of the openings 121. After the rotating shaft 240 is inserted into the mounting holes 120, the rotating shaft 240 is rotated until the two mounting surfaces 241 are not parallel to the openings 121. Then the rotating shaft 240 can automatically be locked in the mounting holes 120 and will not fall off, which facilitates the operation during the installation process.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, two first legs 200 extend upwards toward the seat 100 to form a backrest 210. By making the first legs 200 and the backrest 210 into an integral part, the aesthetics of the folding chair can be improved, the assembly of parts can be reduced, and the overall installation of the folding chair can be facilitated.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, an arc-shaped gap 220 is formed between the backrest 210 and the seat 100. The arc-shaped gap 220 allows the backrest 210 to have a certain elasticity, thereby improving the comfort of a person when leaning against the backrest 210.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a reinforcing rod structure 230 is connected between the two first legs 200 and the two second legs 300.

[0049] It should be noted that in this specification, terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "basic embodiment", and "extended embodiment" may be used to describe several embodiments of the present invention, and the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics of the several embodiments may be combined in accordance with the principles and spirit of the present invention.

[0050] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in this specification, the present invention should not be limited to the above embodiments. As long as they achieve the technical effects of the present invention by the same or equivalent means, any changes, modifications, equivalent substitutions and equivalent variations of these embodiments within the spirit and principles of this disclosure, without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure and should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
