[0009] Optionally, the stop portion includes a fixed end and a free end opposite to each other. The fixed end is rotatably connected to one end of the first guide rib near the notch, and the free end moves to fit against or away from the other end of the first guide rib near the notch as the fixed end rotates, so as to close or open the notch.
[0010] Optionally, the base can be foldably mounted to the bottom end of the frame.
[0011] Optionally, the base is mounted to the bottom end of the frame via a second folding structure, the second folding structure comprising: a second connecting arm having a second through hole; a bent second guide rib having at least a portion passing through the second through hole, the second guide rib being used to guide the movement direction of the second connecting arm; one of the second connecting arm and the second guide rib being fixed to the bottom end of the frame, and the other being fixed to the base.
[0012] Optionally, the base is detachably mounted to the bottom end of the frame.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this utility model embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] The technical solution of this application embodiment enables the support rod to be foldably connected to one side of the frame or one side of the base through a first folding structure. This allows the support rod, frame, and base to be folded when the hanging chair is not in use, thereby reducing the overall size of the structure and facilitating storage and transportation. Furthermore, the first folding structure consists of a first connecting arm and a first guide rib. The folding and unfolding of the hanging chair can be achieved through a simple structure, which helps reduce production costs, facilitates user assembly and use, and optimizes the user experience.
[0021] Furthermore, when the base is installed, it is securely and non-foldable, fixed to the bottom of the frame, providing a stable platform to support the user's weight. When the base is disassembled, the foldable support rod can be folded to one side close to the frame or base. Therefore, when the hanging chair is not in use, the base can be removed and the support rod folded, reducing space occupation and facilitating storage. Moreover, the overall volume is significantly reduced after the base is disassembled and the support rod is folded, allowing for more efficient use of transport space and reducing transportation costs.
[0022] Furthermore, the design of the retaining pin in the disassembly structure ensures the stable position of the protrusion within the mounting hole. When the retaining pin is inserted into the first through hole on the protrusion and the second through hole on the wall of the mounting hole, the protrusion and the mounting hole form a firm mechanical connection through the retaining pin, effectively preventing the base from loosening or falling off during normal use.
[0023] Furthermore, the design of multiple protrusions and mounting holes increases the number of connection points between the base and the frame. These connection points distribute the stress at the connection between the base and the frame during use, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0037] As mentioned in the background section, the existing hanging chairs are very inconvenient to assemble and disassemble, which affects the user experience.
[0038] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a hanging chair, comprising: a frame; a base detachably installed at the bottom end of the frame; at least one support rod foldably connected to one side of the frame or one side of the base; a flexible connector connecting the frame, the base, and the at least one support rod together; in the installed state, the base is fixed to the bottom end of the frame in a non-foldable manner, and the frame, the base, the at least one support rod, and the flexible connector surround to form an accommodating space; in the disassembled state, the at least one support rod is folded to one side close to the frame or one side of the base.
[0039] The technical solution of this application embodiment enables the support rod to be foldably connected to one side of the frame or one side of the base through a first folding structure. This allows the support rod, frame, and base to be folded when the hanging chair is not in use, thereby reducing the overall size of the structure and facilitating storage and transportation. Furthermore, the first folding structure consists of a first connecting arm and a first guide rib. The folding and unfolding of the hanging chair can be achieved through a simple structure, which helps reduce production costs, facilitates user assembly and use, and optimizes the user experience.
[0040] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and beneficial effects of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a hanging chair 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Another perspective of the 100mm hanging chair.
[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hanging chair 100 includes: a frame 1; a base 2, installed at the bottom end 11 of the frame 1; at least one support rod 3, foldably connected to one side of the frame 1 or one side of the base 2 via a first folding structure 7; and a flexible connector 4, connecting the frame 1, the base 2, and the at least one support rod 3 together. The first folding structure 7 includes: a first connecting arm 71, having a first through hole 711; a bent first guide rib 72, at least a portion of which passes through the first through hole 711, the first guide rib 72 guiding the movement direction of the first connecting arm 71; one of the first connecting arm 71 and the first guide rib 72 is fixed to the end of the at least one support rod 3, and the other is fixed to the frame 1 or the base 2.
[0043] Specifically, the frame 1 and the base 2 constitute the main structure of the hanging chair 100. The frame 1 serves as the supporting skeleton of the hanging chair 100.
[0044] In some non-limiting embodiments, the frame 1 may be in the shape of a doorway arch. Thus, the doorway arch frame 1 combines aesthetic appeal with structural stability.
[0045] Furthermore, the frame 1 can be made of a sturdy and durable material, such as metal or wood, to ensure that the frame 1 can withstand the weight of the user and other components of the hanging chair 100 (such as the base 2 and support rod 3) and maintain stability for long-term use.
[0046] Furthermore, the frame 1 has opposing top end 12 and bottom end 11. (As...) Figure 1 As shown, the top end 12 can be suspended from the support structure by the suspension part 8.
[0047] In some non-limiting embodiments, the top end 12 may be, for example, the top end of the hanging chair 100 in its normal use state, i.e., the end facing away from the direction of gravity. The top end 12 may be provided with a special structure or interface for connection with the suspension part 8. Thus, the hanging chair 100 can be suspended in the air through the suspension part 8, making it convenient for users to use in various scenarios.
[0048] Furthermore, the suspension part 8 can be made of materials such as metal chains or ropes. This improves the structural strength of the suspension part 8, ensuring that the hanging chair 100 can be safely suspended from the support structure.
[0049] Furthermore, the suspension part 8 can also have a certain degree of flexibility and be able to deform, so that the user can swing and sway to a certain extent when using the hanging chair 100, thereby improving the user's experience.
[0050] Furthermore, the main body of the hanging chair 100 can be suspended from the support structure via the suspension part 8. The support structure can be, for example, a bracket that can be placed on the ground (not shown in the figure), or it can be a structure from which the hanging chair 100 suspends other external structures, such as trees, building beams, or hanging frames. Thus, suspending the hanging chair 100 in the air via the suspension part 8 saves ground space, allowing for more rational use of indoor or outdoor space. It can also be suspended at different positions and heights as needed to adapt to different usage scenarios and requirements.
[0051] Furthermore, the bottom end 11 of the frame 1 is detachably connected to the base 2. The base 2 is the part that the user directly contacts and primarily supports the user's weight when sitting. Specifically, the base 2 can be regarded as the base plate on which the user sits, providing the user with a stable and comfortable sitting or lying platform. When the user sits in the hanging chair 100, the user's body weight is mainly supported by the base 2.
[0052] In some non-limiting embodiments, the base 2 may include a base frame 21 and a connecting portion 22 connected inside the base frame 21. The base frame 21 is used to connect to the frame 1, and the connecting portion 22 may be made of an elastic material.
[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 8As shown, at least one support rod 3 can be connected to one side of the frame 1. When a user uses the hammock chair 100, the support rod 3 can be used for the user to lean against. For example, when sitting in the hammock chair 100, the user can lean against the support rod 3 with their back, arms, or legs to improve comfort.
[0054] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the support rod 3 may be arc-shaped to improve the user's comfort when leaning against it, and both ends of each support rod 3 are movably connected to the arm of the frame 1. The arm of the frame refers to the portion between the top end 12 and the bottom end 11 of the frame 1.
[0055] In some non-limiting embodiments, the number of support rods 3 may be multiple. For example, refer to... Figure 1 The number of support rods 3 can be four. In the unfolded state, the four support rods 3 are spaced apart on one side of the frame 1, and the four support rods 3 can form a surface for the user to lean on. When the user sits into the hanging chair 100 from the other side, he / she can lean on the support rods 3, which improves the user's comfort.
[0056] In some non-limiting embodiments, the number of support rods 3 may be further increased to make the arc surface formed by the multiple support rods 3, which can be leaned on by the user, smoother.
[0057] Furthermore, the hanging chair 100 may also include a flexible connector 4, which is used to connect the frame 1, the base 2 and the support rod 3 together.
[0058] As mentioned earlier, the multiple support rods 3 can be used to form an arc surface for the user to lean on, and the flexible connector 4 can at least fill the gaps between the multiple support rods 3. Simultaneously, in the unfolded state of the hanging chair 100, the flexible connector 4, through its elastic or rigid properties, provides the necessary tension to the support rods 3. This tension helps maintain the support rods 3 and the base 2 in the correct position and angle, preventing them from wobbling or falling off during use. It also helps enhance the overall stability and safety of the hanging chair.
[0059] In some embodiments, the flexible connector 4 can be made of a material with good flexibility and sufficient strength, such as rope, chain, or elastic band. Thus, the flexible connector 4 can transfer and distribute forces between different components (e.g., frame 1, base 2, and support rod 3) to ensure the stability and durability of the entire hanging chair 100 structure. At the same time, the flexible connector 4 can absorb and buffer external impacts and vibrations to a certain extent, providing users with a comfortable sitting and lying experience.
[0060] Furthermore, when the base 2 is installed at the bottom end 11 of the frame 1, the base 2 and the frame 1 are not foldable. In other words, after the base 2 and the frame 1 are assembled, the included angle between the base 2 and the frame 1 is fixed at a preset angle. The preset angle can be determined according to the actual production needs of the product. For example, the preset angle can be slightly greater than 90°, such as 105°, which can increase the feeling of being surrounded when the user sits and improve the user experience. Thus, when the base 2 is in the installed state, the hanging chair 100 is available for the user to sit on. Since the base 2 serves as the base for the user to sit on, it needs to be firmly connected to the frame 1 to bear the user's weight and prevent accidental fall. Therefore, the non-movable (or foldable) connection between the base 2 and the frame 1 ensures the stability and safety of the hanging chair 100 during use.
[0061] Furthermore, when the base 2 is in the installation state, after the base 2 is installed, the frame 1, the base 2, at least one support rod 3, and the flexible connector 4 together form a receiving space. The receiving space is used for users to sit or lie down, and the frame 1 has an entrance for users to enter the receiving space, allowing users to enter the receiving space through the entrance formed by the frame 1.
[0062] Furthermore, the base 2 can also be detached from the bottom end 11 of the frame 1. In this state, the base 2 is no longer fixed to the frame 1, but is physically separated from the frame 1. At this time, at least one support rod 3 can be folded towards the frame 1. Thus, the hanging chair 100 can be stored or transported more compactly when not in use.
[0063] As described above, the detachable connection between the frame 1 and the base 2 simplifies the user's assembly process and improves the ease of use and customer experience of the hanging chair 100. Furthermore, when the base 2 is in the installed state, it is securely and non-foldable to the bottom end 11 of the frame 1, providing a stable platform to support the user's weight and prevent accidental falls, allowing the user to sit or lie comfortably in the hanging chair 100. When the base 2 is in the detached state, the foldable support rod 3 can be folded to the side close to the frame 1. This further reduces the space occupied when the hanging chair 100 is not in use, facilitating storage and folding. Simultaneously, because the hanging chair 100's volume is significantly reduced after disassembly and folding, transportation space can be utilized more effectively, reducing transportation costs.
[0064] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The base 2 is detachably mounted to the bottom end 11 of the frame 1 via a disassembly structure 5. The disassembly structure 5 includes: a protrusion 51 disposed in one of the base 2 and the frame 1; and a mounting hole 52 disposed in the other of the base 2 and the frame 1. When the base 2 is in the mounted state, at least a portion of the protrusion 51 is inserted into the mounting hole 52. Thus, through the disassembly structure 5, users can easily install and disassemble the base 2 and the frame 1, improving the flexibility and maintainability of the hanging chair.
[0065] In some non-limiting embodiments, the protrusion 51 may be disposed on the bottom frame 21 of the base 2, and the mounting hole 52 may be formed on the side of the frame 1 forming the bottom end 11. When the protrusion 51 is inserted into the mounting hole 52, the frame 1 and the base 2 are assembled.
[0066] In other embodiments, the protrusion 51 may also be provided on the side of the frame 1 forming the bottom end 11, and the mounting hole 52 may be formed in the bottom frame 21 of the base 2. Thus, the assembly between the frame 1 and the base 2 can also be achieved by inserting the protrusion 51 and the mounting hole 52.
[0067] In a typical application scenario, when the user needs to install the base 2, they simply align the protrusion 51 with the mounting hole 52 and gently push it in. As the protrusion 51 gradually enters the mounting hole 52, the connection between the base 2 and the frame 1 becomes increasingly secure. Conversely, when the user needs to disassemble the base 2, they simply pull out the protrusion 51 to separate the base 2 from the frame 1. This simple disassembly and installation process not only saves the user's time and effort but also improves the flexibility and maintainability of the hanging chair.
[0068] Furthermore, the disassembly structure 5 may also include a retaining pin 53 for limiting the protrusion 51 within the mounting hole 52. Thus, the retaining pin 53 effectively prevents the protrusion 51 from accidentally dislodging from the mounting hole 52. This limiting mechanism effectively enhances the stability of the connection between the base 2 and the frame 1, preventing loosening or detachment due to external forces or long-term use.
[0069] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protruding part 51 is provided with a third through hole 511, and the wall forming the mounting hole 52 is provided with a fourth through hole 521. When the protruding part 51 is inserted into the mounting hole 52, the positions of the third through hole 511 and the fourth through hole 521 are matched, and the fixing pin 53 is inserted into the third through hole 511 and the fourth through hole 521.
[0070] In a typical application scenario, when the protrusion 51 is inserted into the mounting hole 52, the third through hole 511 needs to be aligned or nearly aligned with the fourth through hole 521 to provide a channel for the insertion of the retaining pin 53. Furthermore, the retaining pin 53 is inserted into the third through hole 511 and the fourth through hole 521 to ensure the protrusion 51 is securely positioned in the mounting hole 52, preventing it from accidentally dislodging due to external forces or prolonged use.
[0071] In some non-limiting embodiments, the diameter of the retaining pin 53 may be slightly smaller than the diameters of the third through hole 511 and the fourth through hole 521 to allow for smooth insertion, while also ensuring sufficient tightness to prevent loosening.
[0072] In some embodiments, the number of fourth through holes 521 may be two, and together with the first through hole, they form a channel that passes through the wall of the frame 1 or the base 2 to form the mounting hole 52 and the protrusion 51. The fixing pin 53 can be inserted from one end of the channel and at least partially protrude from the other end of the channel.
[0073] Furthermore, along the insertion direction, the fixing pin 53 includes a locking section, a receiving section, and an exposed section connected in sequence. The cross-sectional area of the locking section is larger than the opening area of the fourth through hole 521 to prevent over-insertion of the fixing pin 53. The receiving section is the portion of the fixing pin 53 that is received within the channel, and the exposed section is the portion that extends from the other end of the channel.
[0074] In some embodiments, a nut 531 may be connected to the exposed portion of the retaining pin 53 so that the retaining pin 53 can be stably kept in the inserted state and the retaining pin 53 can be prevented from accidentally falling off.
[0075] In one variation, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fixing pin 53 may further include an elastic latch 532. One end of the elastic latch 532 is connected to the locking section, and the other end forms a ring structure and is fitted onto the exposed section. Thus, the elastic latch 532 can be used to restrict the fixing pin 53 from moving in the opposite direction of the insertion direction until it disengages from the channel, causing the base 2 to fall off.
[0076] Furthermore, the elastic latch 532 can undergo slight deformation to facilitate the fitting of the ring structure onto the exposed section. Simultaneously, when the fixing pin 53 tends to move in the opposite direction to the insertion direction, the ring structure of the elastic latch 532 can abut against the wall of the frame 1 or base 2 forming the mounting hole 52, thereby providing a limiting function.
[0077] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 3 to 6One of the base 2 and the frame 1 has an outwardly extending connecting cylinder 6, and the mounting hole 52 is located on the end face of the connecting cylinder 6. Thus, the connecting cylinder 6 extends from the base 2 or the frame 1, forming a tubular or cylindrical structure, providing additional length and depth for connection with the protrusion 51, making the connection between the base 2 and the frame 1 more stable. Furthermore, positioning the mounting hole 52 on the end face of the connecting cylinder 6 avoids the adverse consequences of directly drilling holes in the frame 1, which would lead to a decrease in the structural strength of the frame 1, further improving the overall structural stability of the hanging chair 100.
[0078] In some non-limiting embodiments, the sidewall of the connecting cylinder 6 has an opening 61 that communicates with the mounting hole 52.
[0079] In some applications, the opening 61 is sized to allow the protrusion 51 to pass through. Thus, the protrusion 51 can enter the mounting hole 52 through the opening 61 to complete the assembly.
[0080] In some applications, the opening 61 is used to create an assembly allowance when the protrusion 51 is inserted into the mounting hole 52. For example, when the size of the protrusion 51 is slightly larger than the size of the mounting hole 52 due to the tolerances present during production, the presence of the opening 61 allows the connecting cylinder 6 to undergo a slight deformation, causing the mounting hole 52 to be slightly expanded, facilitating the insertion of the protrusion 51.
[0081] In some embodiments, the opening 61 may face away from the top end 12 of the frame 1. Thus, the wall of the connecting cylinder 6 on the side opposite to the opening 61 can abut against the protrusion 51. When the base 2 tends to fold towards the frame 1 or move towards the top end 12, the wall of the connecting cylinder 6 on the side opposite to the opening 61 can restrict the displacement of the base 2, enhancing the structural stability of the hanging chair 100.
[0082] Furthermore, there are multiple protrusions 51 and multiple mounting holes 52, with each protrusion 51 corresponding to a specific mounting hole 52. When the base 2 is in the installed state, each protrusion 51 is inserted into its corresponding mounting hole 52. Thus, the multi-point connection between the base 2 and the frame 1 can more effectively distribute and bear the various forces and torques generated by the user when using the hanging chair 100, increasing structural stability.
[0083] In another variation, refer to Figure 7 The disassembly structure 5 may further include a connecting piece 501. The connecting piece 501 may be disposed on the frame 1 and extend toward the base 2. The bottom frame 21 of the base 2 may overlap the surface of the connecting piece 501 facing the top 12 of the frame 1, and be fixedly connected to the connecting piece 501 by a fastener 502, thereby realizing the assembly of the frame 1 and the base 2.
[0084] In other embodiments, the connecting piece 501 may also be disposed on the base 2 and extend toward the frame 1, and then the connecting piece 501 and the bottom end 11 of the frame 1 may be fixedly connected by the fastener 501.
[0085] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 The at least one support rod 3 is foldably mounted to the frame 1 or the base 2 via the first folding structure 7. Thus, when the hanging chair 100 is not in use, the base 2 can be removed, and the support rod 3 can be folded toward one side of the frame 1 or one side of the base 2 to reduce the overall size, making it easier to store and transport.
[0086] Furthermore, combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first folding structure 7 may include: a first connecting arm 71 having a first through hole 711; a bent first guide rib 72 having at least a portion passing through the first through hole 711, the first guide rib 72 being used to guide the movement direction of the first connecting arm 71; one of the first connecting arm 71 and the first guide rib 72 being fixed to the end of the at least one support rod 3, the other being fixed to the frame 1 or the base 2.
[0087] In some embodiments, the first connecting arm 71 is fixed to the end of the at least one support rod 3. The curved first guide rib 72 can guide the movement direction of the first connecting arm 71 during the folding and unfolding process of the support rod 3.
[0088] Specifically, at least a portion of the first guide rib 72 passes through the first through hole 711 on the first connecting arm 71, so that when the support rod 3 moves, the first connecting arm 71 moves along a predetermined trajectory to fold or unfold under the guidance of the first guide rib 72.
[0089] In some embodiments, the first connecting arm 71 may be integrally formed with at least one support rod 3 to enhance structural strength.
[0090] In other embodiments, the first connecting arm 71 may also be disposed on the frame 1, and the first guide rib 72 may be connected to the end of the at least one support rod 3. Thus, a foldable connection between the frame 1 and the at least one support rod 3 can also be achieved through the first connecting arm 71 and the first guide rib 72.
[0091] In some embodiments, the first guide rib 72 is annular with a notch 721. Thus, the first connecting arm 71 can be inserted into the notch 721 so that the first through hole 711 can be smoothly aligned with one end of the first guide rib 72, thereby facilitating at least a portion of the first guide rib 72 to pass through the first through hole 711.
[0092] Furthermore, the first folding structure 7 may further include a stop portion 73 disposed on the first guide rib 72, the stop portion 73 being used to close or open the notch 721. Thus, when at least a portion of the first guide rib 72 passes through the first through hole 711, the stop portion 73 can close the notch 721 to lock the foldable connection between the first connecting arm 71 and the first guide rib 72, preventing the first connecting arm 71 from detaching from the notch 721 and affecting the user experience.
[0093] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the stop part 73 is sleeve-shaped, sleeved on the first guide rib 72 and can move along the first guide rib 72 to close or open the notch 721.
[0094] Specifically, the stop 73 is movably sleeved on one end of the first guide rib 72 near the notch 721, and can move toward the other end of the first guide rib 72 near the notch 721 until the stop 73 contacts or connects with the other end of the first guide rib 72 near the notch 721, so as to close the notch 721 (e.g., Figure 9 (The state shown).
[0095] In some embodiments, the stop 73 and the first guide rib 72 near the other end of the notch 721 can be connected by a threaded structure. This ensures that the guide 73 securely closes the notch 721 to prevent the first connecting arm 71 from accidentally dislodging from the notch 721 and causing the support rod 3 to fall off the frame 1.
[0096] In a variation example, refer to Figure 10 The stop portion 73 includes a fixed end 731 and a free end 732. The fixed end 731 is rotatably connected to one end of the first guide rib 72 near the notch 721. The free end 732 moves with the fixed end 731 to either conform to or move away from the other end of the first guide rib 72 near the notch 721, thereby closing or opening the notch 721. Thus, the user can easily open the notch 721 by pressing to assemble and disassemble the support rod 3 from the frame 1, facilitating the assembly of the hanging chair 100 and the repair or replacement of some components (e.g., individual support rods 3).
[0097] Furthermore, in the above variation, a cylindrical locking part 733 may also be fitted onto the stop part 73. After the support rod 3 and the frame 1 are assembled, the locking part 733 can be used to lock the free end 732 and the end of the first guide rib 72 away from the fixed part 731, so as to enhance the reliability of the hanging chair 100 in use.
[0098] In other embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the notch 721 can also be closed by clamping the first guide rib 72 with a tool after the first connecting arm 71 and the first guide rib 72 are assembled, so that the first guide rib 72 deforms and the notch 721 is closed. Alternatively, the notch 721 can be pre-closed by welding or other methods before leaving the factory.
[0099] In one variation of this application, reference is made to Figure 12 The support rod 3 can also be foldably connected to one side of the base 2. The connection method and function between the support rod 3 and the base 2 can be referred to the above description. Figures 1 to 11 The description of the illustrated embodiment is omitted here.
[0100] In another variation of this application, reference is made to Figure 13 The base 2 is foldably mounted on the bottom end 11 of the frame 1. Thus, the base 2 can also be folded to one side of the frame 1 for easy storage and transportation.
[0101] Furthermore, the base 2 can be mounted on the bottom end 11 of the frame 1 via a second folding structure 8. The second folding structure 8 includes: a second connecting arm 81 having a second through hole 811; a bent second guide rib 82, at least a portion of which passes through the second through hole 811, the second guide rib 82 being used to guide the movement direction of the second connecting arm 81; one of the second connecting arm 81 and the second guide rib 82 is fixed to the bottom end 11 of the frame 1, and the other is fixed to the base 2.
[0102] The specific structure, function, and cooperation of each component of the second folding structure 8 (such as the second connecting arm 81 and the second guide rib 81) can be found in the previous description of the first folding structure 7, and will not be repeated here.
[0103] Therefore, by adopting the technical solution of this application embodiment, the support rod 3 can be foldably connected to one side of the frame 1 or one side of the base 2 through the first folding structure 7. This allows the support rod 3, frame 1, and base 2 to be folded when the hanging chair 100 is not in use, thereby reducing the overall volume of the structure and facilitating storage and transportation. Furthermore, the first folding structure 7 is composed of a first connecting arm 71 and a first guide rib 72. This simple structure enables the folding and unfolding of the hanging chair 100, which helps reduce production costs, facilitates user assembly and use, and optimizes the user experience.
[0104] Furthermore, when the base 2 is in the installed state, it is securely and non-foldable to the bottom end 11 of the frame 1, providing a stable platform for the user to bear their weight. When the base 2 is in the disassembled state, the foldable support rod 3 can be folded to one side close to the frame 1 or the base 2. Thus, when the hanging chair 100 is not in use, the base 2 can be removed and the support rod 3 folded, thereby reducing space occupation and facilitating user storage. Moreover, since the overall volume is significantly reduced after the base 2 is disassembled and the support rod 3 is folded, transportation space can be utilized more effectively, reducing transportation costs.
[0105] Furthermore, the design of the fixing pin 53 in the disassembly structure 5 ensures the stable position of the protrusion 51 within the mounting hole 52. When the fixing pin 53 is inserted into the third through hole 511 on the protrusion 51 and the fourth through hole 521 on the wall of the mounting hole 52, the protrusion 51 and the mounting hole 52 form a firm mechanical connection through the fixing pin 3, effectively preventing the base 2 from loosening or falling off during normal use.
[0106] Furthermore, the design of multiple protrusions 51 and mounting holes 52 increases the number of connection points between the base 2 and the frame 1. These connection points distribute the stress at the connection between the base 2 and the frame 1 during use, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.
