[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the double butterfly chair includes a seat cloth 100 and a chair frame 200. The chair frame 200 has four vertical surfaces, including side supports 1 corresponding or symmetrically arranged on the left and right vertical surfaces, a front support 2 on the front vertical surface, and a rear support 3 on the rear vertical surface. The front support 2 is lower than the rear support 3, forming a low front seat and a high rear backrest, and being associated by the two side supports 1 to form an overall body that can be folded and unfolded. More specifically, each vertical surface contains a set of two cross-hinged rods 201, forming an expandable and foldable chair frame overall body. The seat cloth 100 is suspended from the upper edges of the front support 2 and the rear support 3, constituting a suspension scheme of a seat and a backrest connected in one body, which is also the basic shape of the existing butterfly chair, meeting the needs of one person using.
[0038] In the design, the front support 2 and the rear support 3 each have two sets of cross-hinged rods 201. Between the hinge points of the two sets of rods 201 in the front and rear supports, there is a middle support 4 associated. The side support 1 composed of the middle support 4 and a set of cross-hinged rods 201 is associated with the front support 2 and the rear support 3, forming two relatively independent spaces on the left and right, which are associated to achieve independent support and ensure smooth operation of unfolding and folding.

[0041] Further, the hinge assembly 45 comprises a hinge shaft 451 and two corresponding hinge arms 452, the ends of the two hinge arms 452 are hingedly connected to the ends of the two rod members of the front support 2; the lower end of the lower rod member 43 is hingedly connected to the hinge shaft 451 through the adapter plate 5. More specifically, the shaft end of the hinge arm 452 has an enlarged round head 453, the round head 453 and the end of the hinge arm 452 are opened to the position, forming a three-point grounding support, and the three points can directly transmit the force of the two rod members 201 and the lower rod member 43 to the ground. In addition, the hinging of the rod members in the intermediate support 4 to the upper and lower hinge points of the front and rear supports is completed by means of the adapter plate 5, which has the freedom of vertical two axes, meeting the unfolding and folding operation. The above-mentioned hinge assembly 45, the two hinge arms 452 can be reverse assembled as the same part, only one mold is needed.
[0042] Further, the middle rod member 42 is provided with an upper limiting point 421 and a lower limiting point 422 above the hinge point of the hinged upper rod member 41, the sliding stroke of the sliding sleeve 44 is constrained by the upper limiting point 421 and the lower limiting point 422, the sliding sleeve 44 is abutted on the upper limiting point 421 when the chair frame 200 is opened to the position, transmitting the gravity to the lower rod member 43; the folding process is driven by the lower limiting point 422 to pull the two hinge arms 452 of the hinge assembly to fold.
[0043] The seat cloth cover 100 is hingedly connected to the six upper hinge points in the front support 2 and the rear support 3, and each is provided with a corresponding open cloth bag 101, the dashed line part in the figure, the open cloth bag 101 is directly sleeved on the six upper hinge points, forming two independent seat areas.
[0044] Embodiment two:
[0045] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8, intermediate support 4, including upper bar 41, middle bar 42 and two lower bars 43, the structure is basically the same as the previous example, but using two lower bars 43 instead of hinge assembly 45, forming equivalent deployable and foldable structure. Details as follows:
[0046] The two ends of middle bar 42 are hingedly connected to upper hinge point 2A in the middle of front support and lower hinge point 3B in the middle of rear support; one end of upper bar 41 is hingedly connected to upper hinge point 3A in the middle of rear support, and the other end is hingedly connected to the middle of middle bar 42; the upper end of two lower bars 43 is hingedly connected to a sliding sleeve 44, which is sleeved on middle bar 42, and the lower end of two lower bars 43 is hingedly connected to the end of corresponding bar 201 of two sets of bars of front support.
[0047] More specifically, the two ends of two lower bars 43 in intermediate support 4 are hingedly connected to sliding sleeve 44 and the ends of two bars 201 of front support through universal joint or ball joint 6, meeting the change of angle during deployment and folding, and other structures and methods of use are the same as the previous example.
