Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable chair technology, specifically a lift-up portable chair. Background Technology
[0002] Folding chairs are lightweight, stackable seats that are easy to move and save space. Common folding chairs are mainly composed of metal tubing and flexible materials such as Oxford cloth. Folding joints are connected with rivets and virgin plastic parts, and depending on the specific product, additional features may be added, such as cup holders, control panels, storage bags, footrests, and sun visors.
[0003] Although there are many types of folding chairs available, most of them use a front-to-back folding structure and cannot fold in the left-to-right direction to further reduce space.
[0004] To address the issue of folding chairs in the left-right direction, Chinese utility model patent CN104856487B discloses a foldable chair frame. This frame features a folding structure composed of a parallel four-bar linkage between the left and right backrests. In use, the chair frame folds or unfolds in the left-right direction by moving the middle linkage rod of the parallel four-bar linkage up and down. However, because all kinematic pairs in the parallel four-bar linkage are hinged revolute joints, this frame suffers from unpredictable motion. Even slight movement of the middle linkage rod can cause the chair frame to fold or unfold in the left-right direction. This uncertainty results in poor stability when the chair frame is unfolded, making it prone to collapse due to excessive force or accidental contact by the user, thus posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pull-up portable chair that, by pulling the lifting component, sequentially drives the rear fork tube, backrest tube assembly, chair tube assembly, and front leg tube assembly to fold, thereby realizing the folding of the entire chair frame. It has a small packaging volume, is easy to carry, and is highly comfortable, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
