DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] In the present specification, the orientation terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front face, back face, top, bottom, etc. mentioned or possibly mentioned are defined with respect to its structure, and they are relative concepts. Therefore, it is possible to change accordingly according to its different positions, different use states. Therefore, these or other orientation terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.
[0018] The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this specification are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes one or more of the associated listed items, any or all possible combinations thereof.
[0019] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0020] This utility model provides the following: Figures 1-4 The foldable armrest shown includes an armrest frame 1. A connecting block 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner top wall of the armrest frame 1. A connecting seat 3 is hinged to the connecting block 2, and an armrest plate 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat 3. The armrest plate 4 has fixing grooves 5 on both sides near the connecting seat 3. A spring 6 connected to the armrest plate 4 is connected in the fixing groove 5. A limiting block 7 that cooperates with the armrest frame 1 is connected to one end of the spring 6.
[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this utility model, the armrest frame 1 is provided with support plates 8 on both sides. The top of the support plates 8 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 9 that is fastened to the armrest frame 1. The bottom of the two support plates 8 is fixedly connected to a mounting base plate 10, and one end of the mounting base plate 10 is provided with multiple mounting holes 15. The foldable chair armrest can be conveniently installed on the corresponding chair through the mounting holes 15.
[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, in this utility model, the top and bottom of the limiting block 7 are fixedly connected to sliders 12, and the connecting seat 3 is provided with sliding grooves 13 at the top and bottom of the fixed groove 5 for sliders 12 to slide, providing a matching design between sliders 12 and sliding grooves 13, so that the limiting block slides more smoothly and stably in the fixed groove 5.
[0023] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in this utility model, the two side walls of the handrail frame 1 are provided with two sets of limiting through holes 14 that cooperate with the limiting block 7, respectively realizing the unfolded and folded states of the handrail plate 4. When it is necessary to switch the state of the handrail plate 4, the user only needs to press the limiting block 7 with one finger to make it slide into the fixing groove 5 against the elastic force of the spring 6. The limiting block 7 disengages from the current limiting through hole 14 and is unlocked.
[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this utility model, the connecting seat 3 and the connecting block 2 are hinged together by the rotating shaft 11 and the two sets of limiting through holes 14 are symmetrically arranged about the rotating shaft 11, so that the limiting block 7 can accurately cooperate with the limiting through hole 14 in both the unfolded and folded states of the handrail plate 4.
[0025] Working principle: when the handrail plate 4 is in the unfolded state, the limiting block 7 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 14 under the action of the spring 6, realizing stable locking of the unfolded state. At this time, the handrail plate 4 can provide stable support for the user. If you want to fold up the handrail plate 4, the user presses the limiting block 7 with a single finger, so that the limiting block 7 slides into the fixed groove 5 against the elastic force of the spring 6, until it is separated from the current limiting hole 14, thereby releasing the locking of the unfolded state. Subsequently, the user can easily rotate the handrail plate 4 around the rotating shaft 11 to the folding position. When the handrail plate 4 reaches the folding position, the spring 6 pushes the limiting block 7 to insert into another limiting hole 14, realizing stable locking of the folding state, avoiding accidental opening of the handrail plate 4 in the folding state.
[0026] Conversely, when the handrail plate 4 needs to be unfolded from the folded state, the limiting block 7 is also pressed with a single finger to separate it from the current limiting hole 14, releasing the locking of the folded state. Then rotate the handrail plate 4 to the unfolded position, and the spring 6 pushes the limiting block 7 to insert into the corresponding limiting hole 14, so that the handrail plate 4 is stably maintained in the unfolded state. The entire operation process only needs to press with a single finger and rotate with a single hand, and the operation is smooth and convenient. The cooperation of the spring 6 and the limiting hole 14 ensures the stability of the handrail plate 4 in the unfolded and folded states, effectively solves the problems existing in the traditional foldable handrail, and improves the user's experience and the reliability of the product.
[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement to part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
