Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of children's products, specifically to a footstool. Background Technology
[0002] Because children are not tall enough, existing non-slip stools and footstools are fixed in height, not stable enough, lack safety protection, and have limited functionality when facing sinks and tables. Utility Model Content
[0003] In summary, to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a footstool.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a footstool, characterized in that: it includes side plates on both sides and a pedal assembly disposed between the two side plates, the pedal assembly including one or more horizontally disposed bottom pedals and one top pedal, the bottom pedals being detachably connected to the side plates on both sides respectively, and the top pedals being rotatably disposed between the two side plates.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solutions and modular combination architecture, high scalability is achieved through multi-level detachable pedals. Assembly is simple and convenient, and modular production costs are low. Bidirectional force transmission: the structure formed by the side plates and pedals ensures uniform load distribution and high stability, meeting the safety requirements for children. By rotating the top pedal, it can be used as a backrest and the bottom pedal as a seat, making it convenient for children to use as a chair. It is highly functional, easy to operate, convenient to convert, and highly practical.
[0006] The present invention further provides that the top pedal has at least two states: in the first position state, the top pedal is arranged parallel to the bottom pedal above the bottom pedal, and the top pedal and the bottom pedal are arranged in a stepped manner; in the second position state, the top pedal and the bottom pedal are arranged at an angle greater than or equal to 90 degrees, and the top pedal is arranged in a backrest shape above and behind the bottom pedal.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the system can switch between two states: a multi-step elevated ladder and a children's rest chair. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0008] This utility model further comprises: a rotating shaft and a movable shaft respectively provided on both sides of the top pedal; a rotating hole adapted to the rotating shaft and a rotating groove for the movable shaft to move on the side plate; the rotating groove is arc-shaped; a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating groove; the first positioning hole and the rotating hole are at the same height; the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are respectively connected to the rotating groove; when in the first position state, the rotating shaft is located in the rotating hole and the movable shaft is located in the first positioning hole; when in the second position state, the rotating shaft is located in the rotating hole and the movable shaft is located in the second positioning hole.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the state of the top pedal is changed by rotating the front side of the top pedal, i.e. fixing the rotating shaft and making the movable shaft rotate along the rotating groove, so that the movable shaft is in the position of the first positioning hole or the second positioning hole. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0010] The present invention further comprises: a limiting part is provided at the end of both the rotating shaft and the movable shaft; the rotating hole is connected to the movable groove; an insertion hole is provided at the other end of the movable groove opposite to the rotating hole; the diameter of the insertion hole is greater than or equal to the diameter of the limiting part; the width of the movable groove is adapted to the diameter of the rotating shaft; the diameter of the rotating hole is greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft but less than the diameter of the limiting part; and a first limiting protrusion for limiting the rotating shaft is provided between the rotating hole and the movable groove.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, an insertion hole is set to facilitate the quick insertion of the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft rotates along the movable groove to the rotating hole, the limiting part prevents the top pedal from disengaging from the side plate. A first limiting protrusion is set to form a locking point. Force is required whether entering the rotating hole or moving out, thus enhancing the stability of the structure.
[0012] The present invention further comprises: the diameter of the first positioning hole is greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft and less than the diameter of the limiting part; a second limiting protrusion for limiting the movable shaft is provided between the first positioning hole and the rotating groove; the diameter of the second positioning hole is greater than the diameter of the limiting part; and a third limiting protrusion for limiting the movable shaft is provided between the second positioning hole and the rotating groove.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and using the insertion hole, when installing the side plate, first align the rotating shaft with the insertion hole and the movable shaft with the second positioning hole, then rotate both to position them. Disassembly is done in reverse. When the rotating shaft enters the rotating hole, the movable shaft is located in the second positioning hole, and the side plate will not come off. When the movable shaft is located in the first positioning hole, there is double limiting, which enhances the stability of the top pedal as a pedal.
[0014] The present invention further includes: the side plate is provided with a plug hole for installing the bottom pedal, and the bottom pedal is provided with plug-in parts on both sides corresponding to the plug hole positions.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, installation can be convenient and quick, followed by fixation.
[0016] The present invention further includes the following features: the bottom pedal and the side plate are detachably connected by fasteners; the side of the insertion hole is provided with a connection hole for installing the fasteners; and the bottom side plate is provided with a first connection part for connecting to the fasteners at the position corresponding to the connection hole.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the connection is enhanced through fasteners.
[0018] The present invention is further provided with a hinge plate rotatably disposed between the two side plates. The hinge plate includes a hinge part that is hinged to the side plate, a storage part for placing objects, and a second connecting part that connects the hinge part and the storage part. The storage part is provided with positioning parts on both sides that are engaged and positioned with the side plate.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the hinge plate is rotated to the front of the chair, and the child sits on the bottom footrest. The storage area can be used for the child to eat, place items, or write and draw, thus enriching the functions.
[0020] The present invention further provides that the hinge plate has at least two states: when in use, the storage part is arranged parallel above the bottom pedal, and the positioning part and the second connecting part form an L-shaped groove that is positioned and engaged with the front wall of the side plate; when in idle state, rotating the second connecting part causes the storage part to flip to the rear side of the top pedal, and the positioning part abuts against the rear wall of the side plate.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hinge plate is used, the positioning part and the second connecting part cooperate with the side plate to enhance the stability of the hinge plate; when the hinge plate is not in use, it can be flipped to the back of the side plate without affecting the use of the cushion chair.
[0022] The present invention further includes a balance plate between the two side plates. The balance plate is detachably connected to the side plates by fasteners. The balance plate is located below the top pedal and behind the bottom pedal. When the hinge plate is in an idle state, the storage part is parallel and attached to the balance plate.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the balance plate increases the front-to-back balance of the bottom of the stepladder or chair, further improving the stability of adjustment and connection; at the same time, the hinge plate plays a role in limiting rotation when it flips.
