Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stroller technology, and more specifically, to a structure for folding backrests and armrests. Background Technology
[0002] A stroller is a tool designed to facilitate outdoor activities for infants. It is one of the most beloved modes of transportation for babies and an essential item for mothers when taking their babies shopping. However, the inventor discovered that current strollers require pressing a button on the side to unlock the handlebars. To solve this problem, the inventor designed a system where the handlebars fold down simultaneously with the backrest.
[0003] In view of the aforementioned deficiencies in the folding structure of strollers, and adhering to the spirit of research, innovation, and continuous improvement, the applicant, combining production practice and utilizing professional and scientific methods, proposes a practical solution and therefore submits this application.

[0005] A folding backrest and armrest structure includes: a backrest, a seat, armrests, and a stroller base. The stroller base is equipped with a seat and a backrest. The armrests are connected to the backrest and seat at both ends. Each end of the armrest has a metal plate inserted into a slot in the mounting portion on both sides of the seat. The mounting portion has a locking plate inside. One end of the locking plate has an upper protrusion extending outward to the outer surface of the mounting portion. The rotating disc of the backrest is located inside the mounting portion on both sides of the seat. The rotating disc of the backrest has a limiting surface inside. The upper protrusion moves along the limiting surface. The other end of the locking plate has a lower protrusion. One side of the metal plate has a limiting groove, and the bottom of the metal plate has a slot.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. The positional relationships described in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a folding backrest and armrest structure includes: a backrest, a seat, armrests, and a stroller base. The stroller base has a seat and a backrest. The armrests are connected to the backrest and seat at both ends. Each end of the armrest has a metal plate, which is inserted into the slots of the mounting parts on both sides of the seat. The mounting parts have a locking plate inside. One end of the locking plate has an upper protrusion extending outward to the outer surface of the mounting part. The rotating disc of the backrest is located inside the mounting parts on both sides of the seat. The rotating disc of the backrest has a limiting surface inside, and the upper protrusion moves along the limiting surface. The other end of the locking plate has a lower protrusion. One side of the metal plate has a limiting groove, and the bottom of the metal plate has a slot. The stroller base includes an overall bracket and wheels at the bottom. This structure is a conventional design in the field and will not be described in detail here.
[0021] In the above scheme, the mounting part has a sliding groove inside, and the locking plate is set in the sliding groove and moves up and down along the sliding groove. The sliding groove has a straight slot hole inside, and the upper protrusion passes through the straight slot hole and extends to the outside. The upper protrusion moves up and down along the straight slot hole. The locking plate has a return spring inside, one end of which is installed on the cylinder of the locking plate, and the other end of which abuts against the protrusion of the mounting part. The upper protrusion is locked in a limiting groove on one side of the iron sheet, and the lower protrusion is locked in a slot at the bottom of the iron sheet. The mounting part has a central cylinder in the middle, which passes through the sliding groove of the locking plate. The locking plate engages with the iron sheet by moving up and down.
[0022] Armrest folding principle: When the backrest begins to fold, the rotating disc rotates relative to the rotating disc. The limiting surface inside the rotating disc presses against the upper protrusion of the locking plate. The curved limiting surface pushes the upper protrusion to move, causing the entire locking plate to move downward along the slide groove. At the same time, the upper protrusion disengages from the limiting groove on one side of the iron plate, and the lower protrusion disengages from the U-shaped groove at the bottom of the iron plate, releasing the restriction of the entire iron plate. The iron plate can then rotate freely around the central cylinder, thus achieving the folding of the armrest. Conversely, when it is necessary to unfold the backrest and armrest, simply flip the backrest upward. Under the action of the return spring, the locking plate will be subjected to an upward force, causing the locking plate to move upward. The upper and lower protrusions return to their original positions and lock the armrest.
[0023] In the above scheme, the rotating disk of the backrest has an internal mounting slot. A rotating shaft is located within the mounting slot, and a locking plate and a rotating plate are inserted into the rotating shaft. The rotating plate is fastened into the locking plate. The contact surface between the locking plate and the rotating plate has multiple inclined threads, which are right-angled trapezoids or similar trapezoidal structures, and they cooperate with each other in opposite directions. When the rotating plate rotates, it pushes the locking plate to make a relative lateral displacement. The locking plate is positioned in the mounting slot, and a pressure spring is provided between the rotating disk and the mounting slot. One end of the locking plate has a locking post, and the other end has an L-shaped sliding surface. The locking post corresponds to a circular hole on the inner surface of the mounting part, and the sliding surface corresponds to the rotation path of the upper protrusion. The sliding surface is to provide space for the upper protrusion and avoid mutual interference during rotation. A rotating arm extends outward from one side of the rotating plate. The rotating arm swings within a slot inside the rotating disk. The rotating arm is connected to a button via a steel wire or other components. The button is used to drive the rotating arm to swing at a certain angle, thus rotating the rotating plate.
[0024] Backrest folding linkage: When the backrest needs to be folded, simply press the button to rotate the locking arm, which in turn moves the locking plate outward. The locking pins of the locking plate disengage from the circular holes on the inner surface of the mounting part, thus releasing the restriction on the entire backrest and allowing it to fold downward. Similarly, when the backrest needs to be unfolded, simply fold it upward. Under the action of the pressure spring, the locking pins of the locking plate are inserted into the circular holes on the inner surface of the mounting part to lock the entire backrest. If it needs to be folded backward, press the button again to link the linkage and disengage the locking pins. When folded to the next angle, the locking pins are inserted into the circular holes in another position.
[0025] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
