Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of outdoor products, specifically relating to a rotatable outdoor tripod stool. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor stools are common items for outdoor activities. Due to the limitations of their usage environment, outdoor stools need to be space-saving, portable, and easy to use. Various types of outdoor stools are produced on the market to meet these requirements. To facilitate use, some manufacturers produce outdoor stools that can rotate. The supporting legs and seat of these stools can rotate 360° relative to each other. Users can rotate them in the desired direction to easily reach items. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the outdoor environment, the ground is sometimes uneven. When using such a rotating stool, the rotating design makes it more difficult to maintain balance. If it suddenly tilts to one side, since the stool has no horizontal restraint, it cannot provide any obstruction and can easily lead to back sprains, which does not meet the design concept of safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a rotatable outdoor tripod stool, including a support component and a seat component, and a rotating component is provided between the support component and the seat component.

[0004] The rotating assembly includes a support connector, a receiving connector, a rotating connector, and a limiting component;

[0005] The receiving connector and the receiving connector are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating connector. The rotating connector fixes the receiving connector and the receiving connector and allows them to rotate relative to each other.

[0006] The rotating connector is equipped with a limiting member, which has multiple limiting stops to limit the rotation angle of the receiving connector.

[0007] The limiting position stops rotation when the rotation reaches a fixed angle. The limiting position can obstruct the rotation of the rotating connector. There can be multiple limiting positions. For example, with the user's facing direction as 0°, the rotation will be obstructed every 30° or 60°. Preferably, the limiting position restricts the rotating connector to a total rotation of 120°, with a rotation of ±60° based on the user's facing direction, which is sufficient for daily outdoor use and is less likely to cause imbalance when tilted to the side.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a limiting plate and a sliding rod. The limiting plate is provided with a limiting guide rail, and the sliding rod is connected to the limiting guide rail and moves along the limiting guide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting guide rail includes a sliding rail, a locking groove, and an unlocking rail. The sliding rail is located between the limiting stops. Each of the two adjacent sliding rails has a locking groove at its closest end. The depth of the locking groove is greater than the depth of the sliding rail. An unlocking rail connects the locking groove and the adjacent sliding rail. The depth of the unlocking rail gradually increases from the locking groove to the sliding rail. The movement directions of the unlocking rail and the sliding rail are not in the same straight line. A one-way valve is provided between the unlocking rail, the sliding rail, and the locking groove. Preferably, the one-way valve has a spring element to block the sliding rod.

[0010] When the user is seated on the receiving component, the sliding rod is located in the locking groove. Because the depth of the locking groove is greater than the depth of the sliding rail, the sliding rod cannot move towards the sliding rail. Due to the obstruction of the one-way valve, the sliding rod cannot easily enter the unlocking rail, so it cannot rotate to the user's right. Since there is no path away from the sliding rail, it cannot rotate to the user's left. When it is necessary to rotate to the left, since the movement directions of the unlocking rail and the sliding rail are not in the same straight line, it is necessary to first move to the right to apply force to break through the restriction of the one-way valve spring and enter the unlocking rail, and then enter another sliding rail through the unlocking rail. When returning, it returns to the locking groove through the sliding rail. At this time, because the one-way valve sliding rod cannot enter the unlocking rail again, the same applies to rotating to the right.

[0011] The travel ends of the slide rail and the locking groove are used as limiting points. Preferably, three limiting points can be set, namely the travel ends of the slide rail and the locking groove in the middle.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting guide rail occupies 1 / 3 of the area of ​​the limiting component, and the limiting stops are set at 0°, 60° and -60° based on the riding direction of the receiving component.

[0013] Furthermore, two adjacent locking slots are located on the same straight line. Two sliding rails can be equipped with two locking slots or share one locking slot. If two locking slots are set, the locking slots need to be located on the same straight line passing through the rotation axis so that the locking position of the receiving component after rotation is the same as before rotation.

[0014] Furthermore, the sliding rod includes a connecting part and a sliding part. One end of the connecting part is connected to the receiving connector, and the other end is connected to the sliding part. The sliding part is connected to the limiting guide rail. The sliding part is elastically set, and the connecting part is telescopically set. When the sliding part is located in the locking groove, the sliding part enters the locking groove from the sliding rail under the elastic action.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotating connector, the receiving connector, and the supporting connector are coaxially connected.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating connector is a bearing with axial bearing capacity or a bearing with combined axial and radial bearing capacity.

[0017] Since the pressure direction of the stool is axial, the bearings used must have axial bearing capacity, and thrust ball bearings and angular contact ball bearings are preferred.

[0018] Furthermore, the receiving component includes a seat, a backrest, and a connecting seat; the connecting seat is located at the bottom of the seat, the backrest is connected to the seat, and the connecting seat is connected to the receiving connector; the seat and the backrest are foldable.

[0019] The seat and backrest are each composed of two hinged panels. The seat and backrest are also hinged to each other. When storing, the two panels are folded first, and then the seat and backrest are folded.

[0020] Furthermore, the support assembly includes multiple support legs and a support base, with the multiple support legs fixed to the support base, and the support base connected to the support connector.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] (1) This utility model rotates within a certain angle and is blocked by a limit stop, so even if it tilts to the side, it will not cause the user to lose balance, thus improving safety.

[0023] (2) This utility model is equipped with a limiting channel, which does not require a complicated structure. The locking and rotation direction can be freely controlled by simply rotating. The structure is ingenious and easy to operate, which improves its practicality.

[0024] (3) The present invention is foldable, which improves portability. Attached Figure Description

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a rotatable outdoor tripod includes a support component 1 and a support component 3 serving as a seat, with a rotating component 2 provided between the support component 1 and the support component 3.

[0037] The rotating assembly 2 includes a support connector 21, a receiving connector 22, a rotating connector 23, and a limiting member 24;

[0038] The receiving connector 22 and the receiving connector 22 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating connector 23. The rotating connector 23 fixes the receiving connector 22 and the receiving connector 22 and allows them to rotate relative to each other.

[0039] The rotating connector 23 is provided with a limiting member 24, which has multiple limiting stops to limit the rotation angle of the receiving connector 22.

[0040] The limiting position stops rotation when the rotation reaches a fixed angle. The limiting position can block the rotation of the rotating connector 23. There can be multiple limiting positions. For example, with the user's facing direction as 0°, the rotation will be blocked every 30° or 60°. Preferably, the limiting position restricts the rotating connector 23 to rotate a total of 120°, with a rotation of ±60° based on the user's facing direction, which is sufficient for daily outdoor use and will not easily cause imbalance when tilted to the side.

[0041] In one embodiment, the limiting member 24 includes a limiting plate 241 and a sliding rod 242. The limiting plate 241 is provided with a limiting guide rail 243. The sliding rod 242 is connected to the limiting guide rail 243 and moves along the limiting guide rail 243.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the limiting guide rail 243 includes a sliding rail 2431, a locking groove 2432, and an unlocking rail 2433. The sliding rail 2431 is disposed between the limiting stops. The adjacent ends of two adjacent sliding rails 2431 are respectively provided with locking grooves 2432. The depth of the locking groove 2432 is greater than the depth of the sliding rail 2431. The unlocking rail 2433 is connected between the locking groove 2432 and the adjacent sliding rail 2431. The depth of the unlocking rail 2433 gradually increases from the locking groove 2432 to the sliding rail 2431. The movement directions of the unlocking rail 2433 and the sliding rail 2431 are not in the same straight line. A one-way valve 2434 is provided between the unlocking rail 2433, the sliding rail 2431, and the locking groove 2432. Preferably, the one-way valve 2434 is provided with a spring to block the sliding rod 242.

[0043] When the user is seated on the receiving component 1, the sliding rod 242 is located in the locking groove 2432. Since the depth of the locking groove 2432 is greater than the depth of the sliding rail 2431, the sliding rod 242 cannot move towards the sliding rail 2431. Due to the obstruction of the one-way valve 2434, the sliding rod 242 cannot easily enter the unlocking rail 2433, and therefore cannot rotate to the user's right. Since there is no path away from the sliding rail 2431, it cannot rotate to the user's left. When it is necessary to rotate to the left, since the movement directions of the unlocking rail 2433 and the sliding rail 2431 are not in the same straight line, it is necessary to first move to the right to apply force to break through the restriction of the one-way valve 2434 spring and enter the unlocking rail 2433, and then enter another sliding rail 2431 through the unlocking rail 2433. When returning, it returns to the locking groove 2432 through the sliding rail 2431. At this time, since the one-way valve 2434 cannot allow the sliding rod 242 to re-enter the unlocking rail 2433, the same applies to rotating to the right.

[0044] The travel ends of the slide rail 2431 and the locking groove 2432 are used as limiting stops. Preferably, three limiting stops can be set, namely the travel ends of the slide rail 2431 and the middle locking groove 2432.

[0045] In one embodiment, the limiting guide rail 243 occupies 1 / 3 of the area of ​​the limiting member 24, and the limiting stops are set at 0°, 60° and -60° based on the riding direction of the receiving component 1.

[0046] In one embodiment, two adjacent locking slots 2432 are located on the same straight line. The two sliding rails 2431 can be provided with two locking slots 2432 or share one locking slot 2432. If two locking slots 2432 are provided, the locking slots 2432 need to be located on the same straight line passing through the rotation axis so that the locking position of the receiving component 1 after rotation is the same as before rotation.

[0047] In one embodiment, the sliding rod 242 includes a connecting part 2421 and a sliding part 2422. One end of the connecting part 2421 is connected to the receiving connector 22, and the other end is connected to the sliding part 2422. The sliding part 2422 is connected to the limiting guide rail 243. The sliding part 2422 is elastically arranged, and the connecting part 2421 is telescopically arranged. When the sliding part 2422 is located in the locking groove 2432, the sliding part 2422 enters the locking groove 2432 from the sliding rail 2431 under the elastic action.

[0048] In one embodiment, the rotating connector 23, the receiving connector 22, and the supporting connector 21 are coaxially connected.

[0049] In one embodiment, the rotary connector 23 is a bearing with axial bearing capacity or a bearing with combined axial and radial bearing capacity.

[0050] Since the pressure direction of the stool is axial, the bearings used must have axial bearing capacity, and thrust ball bearings and angular contact ball bearings are preferred.

[0051] In one embodiment, the receiving component 1 includes a seat portion 11, a backrest 12, and a connecting seat 13; the connecting seat 13 is located at the bottom of the seat portion 11, the backrest 12 is connected to the seat portion 11, and the connecting seat 13 is connected to the receiving connector 22; the seat portion 11 and the backrest 12 are foldable.

[0052] Both the seat 11 and the backrest 12 are composed of two hinged plate structures. The seat 11 and the backrest 12 are also hinged to each other. When storing, the two plate structures are folded first, and then the seat 11 and the backrest 12 are folded.

[0053] In one embodiment, the support component 3 includes a plurality of support legs 31 and a support base 32, wherein the plurality of support legs 31 are fixed to the support base 32, and the support base 32 is connected to the support connector 21.

[0055] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0056] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application.
