[0002] In recent years, outdoor activities have been more and more people like, weekend, holiday, can be with family, someone goes to the place of outdoor camping, can well enjoy the time of holiday. When we go outdoor activities now, carry some foldable chair and table, when unfolding, can be normally used, when not using, can be folded, reduce the space occupied, whether sales or camping, it is convenient to carry and store. But in the existing folding mechanism, the rod is connected by pin to realize the rotation of two rods, can refer to the folding table structure disclosed in Chinese patent No. 202221286602.4, which includes upper and lower support rods, and the corresponding upper and lower support rods are hinged together. When folding, because the upper and lower support rods are directly hinged with the two supports, the rotation direction of the upper and lower support rods is opposite when shrinking, because the effective length L (the distance from the hinge point to the end) of the support rod needs to be guaranteed to form a table and chair, so that the overlapping part of the two support rods is less after shrinking, and the overall length is too long after folding, which is basically the sum of the effective lengths of the two support rods, and occupies a very long space, which is not conducive to overall storage, carrying and transportation. At the same time, relative movement between the two supports is also needed, and connecting rods are needed between the two supports, which increases the production steps and the use of parts, and the two supports are also prone to shaking, and the structural stability is poor. Moreover, the supporting abutting portion of the present folding mechanism is located at the outer periphery of the hinge point of the support rod and the base, so that the abutting area for supporting is small, which requires the base to have high strength and be made of metal, which not only increases the overall weight, but also increases the production cost of the product.

Therefore, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0029] In the present application, unless otherwise specifically defined and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection", "fixing" and the like should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] In the present utility model, unless otherwise expressly provided and limited, the first feature is "on" or "under" the second feature, which can include direct contact between the first and second features, or indirect contact between the first and second features through another feature therebetween. Moreover, the first feature "on", "above" and "on top of" the second feature includes the first feature directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the first feature is higher than the second feature in horizontal height.

[0031] With reference to the drawings, a folding mechanism includes a support base 10 and a support rod set, the support rod set includes an upper support rod 20 and a lower support rod 30, in use, the support base is provided with at least three sets of support rod sets, which are hinged on the outer circumferential side of the support base; one end of the upper support rod can be hinged with the support base, and the middle part of the lower support rod can be hinged with the support base or the upper support rod; when the folding mechanism is unfolded: the upper end of the lower support rod can abut on the support base, and the lower end of the upper support rod can abut on the upper end of the lower support rod. The connection between the upper support rod and the support base and the connection between the lower support rod and the support base are located at the same position of the support base, which can be the same hinge point A, in an embodiment, the support base and the upper support rod and the lower support rod are connected through a pin shaft, realizing the relative rotation of the three components at the same joint; that is to say: when the folding mechanism is unfolded or folded, the upper support rod and the lower support rod can rotate in the same direction relative to the support base. When the folding mechanism is unfolded from the folded state, most of the upper support rod and the lower support rod coincide below the support rod, and the upper support rod is located outside the lower support rod, so that the two support rods are synchronously turned upward until: the lower support rod is abut on the support base, so that the lower support rod cannot be turned upward again, and the upper support rod continues to turn upward, so that the lower end thereof can abut on the upper side of the lower support rod, so that the upper and lower ends of the lower support rod are abutted and cannot be turned again. As long as the upper support rod does not turn, the unfolded state of the folding mechanism can be maintained. When the folding mechanism is used, the distance between each upper support rod cannot be changed, that is, the upper support rod cannot be turned, so that the unfolded state is maintained.

[0032] Preferably, the support base is provided with a slot 11, the upper end of the lower support rod is arranged in the slot, and the upper end of the lower support rod is abutted on the bottom surface of the slot, so that the lower support rod cannot rotate upward. The support base beside the slot is provided with an abutment surface 12, and the upper support rod is in the shape of an elbow, and the first section 21 at the lower end of the upper support rod is abutable on the abutment surface.

In other words, the upper end of the upper support rod can be used for hanging a canvas or connecting a table board, and the lower end of the upper support rod is hingedly connected with the support base.

[0033] Further, the upper end of the lower support rod is provided with an abutment piece 31 arranged in the slot, and the upper end of the lower support rod is located between the two connecting pieces, so that the folding can be stacked when being folded; when the folding mechanism is unfolded, the lower end of the straight rod is arranged above the abutment piece, a groove 24 capable of being matched with the abutment piece is formed at one end, the lower end of the abutment piece is in contact with the bottom surface of the slot to form support.

[0034] Still further, the upper support rod and / or the lower support rod are telescopic rods, so that the size is reduced after being folded.

[0035] In the utility model, the hinge points of the two support rods and the support base are located at the outer periphery of the support base, and the support positions of the two support rods are located at the inner periphery of the hinge point A, so that the area of the support position is increased, and the strength requirement of the support base is relatively small.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the rotating directions of the two support rods are opposite, so that the two support rods can be overlapped after being folded; in order to better carry, the two support rods are telescopic rods, and the lower end of the lower support rod is provided with an antiskid pad 32.
