[0029] Embodiment 1: Reference Figures 1 to 6 A garden stool, the main structure of the garden stool includes supporting part 7 and stool leg 1, and the two parts are connected by folding mechanism 2 to realize rotation, so that the stool leg 1 can be unfolded or folded relative to the supporting part 7. This folding design greatly improves the portability and flexibility of the garden stool, making it easy to be carried and stored in gardening activities.

[0030] Folding mechanism 2 is the key part to realize this function, and folding mechanism 2 is composed of connecting part 6 and locking mechanism 5. One end of connecting part 6 is connected to supporting part 7 by pivoting, and the other end is connected to stool leg 1, thereby ensuring the stable connection and smooth rotation between stool leg 1 and supporting part 7. Locking mechanism 5 is arranged between supporting part 7 and stool leg 1, which mainly locks stool leg 1 in the unfolded state to ensure the stability of the garden stool during use; at the same time, when folding is needed, locking mechanism 5 can be unlocked, so that stool leg 1 can be smoothly folded. The locking mechanism includes a support plate 51, which is arranged between the two stool legs 1 on each side of the supporting part 7, and plays the role of support and positioning. On the support plate 51, a through hole 52 is formed, which provides space for the installation and movement of other parts of the locking mechanism.

[0031] The driving part of the locking mechanism is the core part to realize the locking and unlocking functions, which includes a pull rod 53 and L-shaped connecting arms 54 connected to both ends of the pull rod 53 respectively. One end of the connecting arm 54 can be selectively embedded in the groove 56 at both ends of the supporting part 7 as needed, and the other end is inserted into the through hole 52. The two ends of the pull rod 53 are fixedly connected with the middle part of the two connecting arms 54 respectively. This connection mode enables the pull rod 53 to effectively drive the connecting arm 54 to move, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking operations. The locking mechanism further includes a resilient member arranged on the driving part between the pull rod 53 and the supporting plate 51. The resilient member provides the necessary elastic force for the locking mechanism, so that the connecting arm 54 can automatically pop out after unlocking or remain stable during locking, thereby improving the operation convenience and reliability of the locking mechanism.

[0032] The opening side of the groove 56 is formed with an outwardly inclined slope 55. This slope design has important functions: on the one hand, it makes the connecting arm 54 more easily slide into when embedded in the groove 56, reducing the operation difficulty; on the other hand, the structure of the slope can effectively prevent the connecting arm 54 from accidentally falling out during use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the locking mechanism.

[0033] The supporting part 7 has a first supporting surface 71 and a second supporting surface 72 facing away from each other. This double supporting surface design provides more use possibilities for the garden stool. For example, the user can choose to use the first supporting surface 71 or the second supporting surface 72 according to different needs, or switch between them in different use scenarios, thereby improving the multifunctionality and applicability of the garden stool. For example, the user can choose to use the first supporting surface 71 or the second supporting surface 72 according to different needs, or switch between them in different use scenarios, for example, when performing long-term gardening work, the user can choose to use the first supporting surface 71 to sit down, and choose to use the second supporting surface 72 as a kneeling stool to improve work efficiency.

[0034] The supporting part 7 adopts a honeycomb structure, which is a structure form with excellent mechanical properties. It can significantly reduce the weight of the supporting part 7 while ensuring sufficient strength. This structure design not only makes the garden stool more portable and easy to carry and transport, but also improves its durability and service life to some extent. The honeycomb structure of the supporting part 7 realizes the optimized balance between weight and strength under the premise of meeting the use strength requirement, which makes an important contribution to the overall performance improvement of the garden stool.

[0035] The embodiment is provided with a flexible support pad 4 on at least one supporting surface. The flexible support pad 4 is provided to improve the comfort of the gardening stool and provide a softer and more comfortable support for the user. The material of the flexible support pad 4 can be selected from plastic, rubber, or sponge, etc. These materials have good flexibility and elasticity, which can effectively buffer the weight of the user and reduce the discomfort caused by long-term use.

[0036] The material of the flexible support pad 4 can be NBR (nitrile rubber) or EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) etc. NBR has excellent wear resistance, oil resistance and weather resistance, and can maintain good performance in various complex environmental conditions. At the same time, its softness and elasticity can also provide comfortable support for the user. EVA is a lightweight, soft and elastic material with excellent elasticity and cushioning performance, which can effectively absorb impact and reduce the fatigue of the user. By selecting the appropriate material, the flexible support pad 4 not only improves the comfort of the gardening stool, but also prolongs its service life to some extent, making it more suitable for various use requirements in gardening activities.

[0037] Embodiment 2: Reference Figures 1 to 6 A gardening stool, the main components of which include a supporting part 7 and a stool leg 1. The two parts are connected by a folding mechanism 2, which allows the stool leg 1 to be unfolded or folded relative to the supporting part 7. When unfolded, the stool leg 1 provides stable support for the gardening stool, allowing it to smoothly carry the weight of the user; when folded, the stool leg 1 is closely attached to the supporting part 7, greatly reducing the overall volume of the gardening stool, making it easy to carry and store. This folding design not only improves the portability of the gardening stool, but also increases its flexibility in different use scenarios, making it easily adapt to the needs of various gardening activities.

[0038] The folding mechanism 2 is the key component that realizes the folding function of the gardening stool, which is composed of a connecting part 6 and a locking mechanism 5. One end of the connecting part 6 is connected to the supporting part 7 by pivoting, and the other end is connected to the stool leg 1. This connection not only ensures the stable connection between the stool leg 1 and the supporting part 7, but also makes the rotation process smoother, reducing wear and tear during use. The locking mechanism 5 is arranged between the supporting part 7 and the stool leg 1, and its main function is to lock the stool leg 1 in the unfolded state, thereby ensuring the stability of the gardening stool during use. When the gardening stool needs to be folded, the locking mechanism 5 can be unlocked, allowing the stool leg 1 to be folded smoothly. The design of this locking and unlocking mechanism not only improves the safety and reliability of the gardening stool, but also provides a convenient operation experience for the user.

[0039] The locking mechanism includes a support plate 51 arranged between the two legs 1 on each side of the supporting part 7, mainly serving as a support and positioning function. On the support plate 51, a through hole 52 is designed, which provides space for the installation and movement of other components of the locking mechanism, and is one of the key structures for achieving the locking and unlocking functions.

[0040] The driving part of the locking mechanism is the core part for achieving the locking and unlocking functions, which includes a pull rod 53 and L-shaped connecting arms 54 connected to the two ends of the pull rod 53. This design utilizes the principle of leverage, making the operation more labor-saving. One end of the connecting arm 54 can be selectively inserted into the groove 56 at the two ends of the supporting part 7 as needed, and the other end is inserted into the through hole 52. This structural design not only achieves the locking and unlocking functions, but also improves the stability and reliability of the operation through reasonable mechanical layout. The two ends of the pull rod 53 are fixedly connected to the middle part of the two connecting arms 54, respectively. This connection method enables the pull rod 53 to effectively drive the connecting arm 54 to move, thereby achieving the locking and unlocking operation. When locking the legs 1, pull the pull rod 53 to make one end of the connecting arm 54 embedded in the groove 56, thereby firmly locking the legs 1 in the unfolded state; when folding the garden stool, pull the pull rod 53 again to make one end of the connecting arm 54 out of the groove 56, thereby unlocking the legs 1 so that they can be smoothly folded.

[0041] The locking mechanism also includes a resilient member arranged on the driving part between the pull rod 53 and the support plate 51. The function of the resilient member is to provide the necessary elastic force for the locking mechanism, so that the connecting arm 54 can automatically pop out after unlocking or maintain a stable state when locking. This elastic design not only improves the operation convenience of the locking mechanism, but also enhances its reliability. For example, during the unlocking process, the resilient member can automatically pop the connecting arm 54 out of the groove 56, reducing the user's operating force; during the locking process, the resilient member can ensure that the connecting arm 54 is firmly embedded in the groove 56, preventing locking failure due to external forces.

[0042] The opening side of the groove 56 is formed with an outwardly inclined slope 55, which makes it easier for the connecting arm 54 to slide in when it is embedded in the groove 56, making the locking and unlocking process smoother. Secondly, the structure of the slope can effectively prevent the connecting arm 54 from accidentally falling out during use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the locking mechanism. Even if bumps or external forces are encountered during gardening activities, the connecting arm 54 can be firmly embedded in the groove 56, ensuring the stability of the garden bench. The support part 7 has a first support surface 71 and a second support surface 72 facing away from each other. This double support surface design provides more possibilities for the garden bench. For example, users can choose to use the first support surface 71 or the second support surface 72 according to different needs, or switch between them in different use scenarios. This design not only increases the versatility of the garden bench, but also improves its applicability, allowing it to meet the needs of different users. For example, when performing long-term gardening work, users can choose to sit on the first support surface 71 or use the second support surface 72 as a kneeling bench to improve work efficiency.

[0043] The support part 7 adopts a honeycomb structure. The honeycomb structure is a structural form with excellent mechanical properties, which can significantly reduce the weight of the support part 7 while ensuring sufficient strength. This structural design not only makes the garden bench more portable and easy to carry and transport, but also improves its durability and service life to some extent. The honeycomb structure of the support part 7 achieves an optimal balance between weight and strength under the premise of meeting the strength requirements, making an important contribution to the overall performance improvement of the garden bench. Another advantage of the honeycomb structure is its good ventilation and heat dissipation. When used outdoors, this structure can effectively prevent users from feeling hot and uncomfortable after sitting on the bench for a long time, thereby improving the comfort of the user.

[0044] The present embodiment is configured with a flexible support pad 4 on at least one support surface. The flexible support pad 4 is provided to further improve the comfort of the garden bench and provide more comfortable support for the user. During gardening activities, long periods of sitting can cause users to feel tired and uncomfortable, and the design of the flexible support pad 4 can effectively alleviate this problem. The material of the flexible support pad 4 can be selected from plastic, rubber or sponge, which all have good flexibility and elasticity, and can effectively buffer the weight of the user, reducing the discomfort caused by long-term use. Through this material selection, the flexible support pad 4 not only provides comfortable support, but also absorbs vibrations to some extent, further improving the comfort of the user.

[0045] The material of the flexible support pad 4 can be high-performance materials such as NBR (nitrile rubber) or EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer). NBR has excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, and weather resistance, and can maintain good performance in various complex environmental conditions. At the same time, its softness and elasticity can also provide users with comfortable support, and there will be no deformation or damage even after long-term use. EVA is a lightweight, soft, and elastic material with excellent cushioning performance, which can effectively absorb impact and reduce user fatigue. By choosing the right material, the flexible support pad 4 not only improves the comfort of the garden stool, but also prolongs its service life to some extent, making it more suitable for various use requirements in gardening activities. In addition, the flexible support pad 4 can also be customized according to different use scenarios and user needs. For example, the thickness and shape of the flexible support pad 4 can be adjusted according to the user's body size and comfort requirements to provide a more personalized support experience. This customizable design further improves the applicability and user satisfaction of the garden stool, making it better meet the needs of different users.

[0046] The support part 7 includes a fixed plate 73 arranged on both sides of the support part 7, which plays an important supporting and positioning role. The groove 56 is formed at the end of the fixed plate 73, which enhances the stability of the entire structure. By designing the groove 56 at the end of the fixed plate 73, the garden stool can be more stable when unfolded for use, while maintaining a compact structure when folded for storage, further optimizing space utilization.

[0047] The same side of the stool leg 1 can be selected independently or integrally formed according to actual needs, and at least one end of the stool leg 1 in this embodiment is provided with a handrail 3. This design not only improves the comfort and convenience of users during use, but also further optimizes the functionality of the garden stool. The design of the handrail 3 adopts a detachable structure, which can be easily detached and stored in the area above the folded support part 7 when not in use. This design greatly reduces the packaging volume of the garden stool, making it more convenient during storage and transportation.

[0048] The design of the handrail 3 also has an anti-slip function, one end of the handrail 3 closely fits the stool leg 1, and the other end forms an anti-slip support surface. This anti-slip support surface design not only increases the safety of users during use, but also effectively prevents the hands from slipping, especially in humid or sweaty environments, which is particularly important. By providing stable support and anti-slip function, the handrail 3 not only improves the comfort of users, but also enhances the reliability and practicality of the garden stool in actual use.

[0049] The utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments for those skilled in the art, and can be realized in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the utility model.
