[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet bathing racks, and more particularly to a folding bracket that is easy to fold. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, shower racks are designed as a single unit, which takes up too much space and is not convenient for placement. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this technical solution provides a folding bracket that is easy to fold.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution is as follows:
[0005] A folding bracket that is easy to fold includes a connecting part. A first frame and a second frame are respectively hinged to both sides of the connecting part to form a space. A first support frame and a second support frame are respectively hinged to both sides of the lower end of the connecting part. A first connecting arm is hinged to the lower end of the first frame. A second connecting arm is hinged to the first connecting arm. The arm of the second connecting arm is hinged to the first support frame. A third connecting arm is hinged to the lower end of the second frame. A fourth connecting arm is hinged to the third connecting arm. The arm of the fourth connecting arm is hinged to the second support frame. One end of the second connecting arm is hinged to one end of the fourth connecting arm.
[0006] In some embodiments, a third support frame is provided at the lower end of the first support frame via a locking structure.
[0007] In some embodiments, the locking structure includes a housing having a first cavity fixedly connected to the first support frame, a second cavity through which the third support frame passes, and a pressing member passing through the housing and the third support frame.
[0008] In some embodiments, the pressing element is mounted on the housing by a snap-fit mechanism.
[0009] In some embodiments, the end of the third support frame is provided with a limiting portion that cooperates with the second cavity.
[0010] In some embodiments, a first lifting frame is also hinged at the hinge joint between the second connecting arm and the fourth connecting arm, and the first lifting frame is also hinged to a second lifting frame.
[0011] In some embodiments, the locking structure includes a housing through which a third support frame passes, the inner side of the third support frame having a plurality of through holes, the housing having a through cylinder, and further including a rotatable drive shaft, the end of the drive shaft having a plug portion that mates with it, is located inside the through cylinder, and can be inserted into the through holes.
[0012] In some embodiments, the end of the drive shaft is provided with a plurality of obliquely arranged guide portions, and the insertion portion is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide portions;
[0013] The insertion part is provided with a limiting part, and the through cylinder is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting part.
[0014] In some embodiments, the through-tube is provided with a spring sleeved around the outer periphery of the insertion portion.
[0015] In some embodiments, the drive shaft is rotated via a pedal.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0017] Flip the frame on either side downwards so that the first and second connecting arms flip accordingly, thereby causing the third and fourth connecting arms to flip as well. This causes the support frames on both sides to flip inwards for storage, thus allowing the shower rack to be completely folded. This achieves the characteristics of occupying less space, and also has higher flipping efficiency and more flexible storage.
[0018] First, lift the second frame to use the first support frame as a fulcrum. Then, flip the second frame downwards. At this time, the third connecting arm drives the fourth connecting arm to flip, thereby driving the second support frame to flip inwards for storage. At the same time, the second connecting arm drives the first connecting arm to flip, driving the first frame to flip inwards for storage. Finally, the storage action is completed. Similarly, flipping the first frame can also achieve flipping and storage. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-2 As shown, a folding bracket that is easy to fold includes a connecting part 1. A first frame 2 and a second frame 3 are respectively hinged to both sides of the connecting part 1 to form a space. A first support frame 4 and a second support frame 5 are respectively hinged to both sides of the lower end of the connecting part 1. A first connecting arm 6 is hinged to the lower end of the first frame 2. A second connecting arm 7 is hinged to the first connecting arm 6. The arm body of the second connecting arm 7 is hinged to the first support frame 4. A third connecting arm 8 is hinged to the lower end of the second frame 3. A fourth connecting arm 9 is hinged to the third connecting arm 8. The arm body of the fourth connecting arm 9 is hinged to the second support frame 5. One end of the second connecting arm 7 is hinged to one end of the fourth connecting arm 9.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 Taking the flipping of the second frame as an example, first lift the second frame so that the first support frame can be used as a support point. Then flip the second frame down. At this time, the third connecting arm drives the fourth connecting arm to flip, thereby driving the second support frame to flip inward for storage. At the same time, the second connecting arm drives the first connecting arm to flip, and simultaneously drives the first frame to flip inward for storage. Finally, the storage action is completed. Similarly, flipping the first frame can also achieve flipping storage.
[0029] Flip the frame on either side downwards so that the first and second connecting arms flip accordingly, thereby causing the third and fourth connecting arms to flip as well. This causes the support frames on both sides to flip inwards for storage, thus allowing the shower rack to be completely folded. This achieves the characteristics of occupying less space, and also has higher flipping efficiency and more flexible storage.
[0030] As one embodiment, the support frame 4 can be used to detachably connect or directly place pet bathtubs, baby baskets, cribs or dining tables, etc., to achieve the versatility of the support frame 4 in terms of use.
[0031] In this embodiment, the lower end of the first support frame 4 is provided with a third support frame 10 through a locking structure. The locking structure is locked at different positions to achieve the purpose of lifting.
[0032] In this embodiment, the locking structure includes a housing 11, which has a first cavity fixedly connected to the first support frame 4, a second cavity through which the third support frame 10 passes, and a pressing member 12 passing through the housing 11 and the third support frame 10.
[0033] The third support frame passes through the second cavity. The outer end face of the third support frame is provided with multiple holes. By moving the third support frame up and down, and then pressing the part through the shell and engaging with any one of the holes, the frame can be raised and lowered.
[0034] In this embodiment, the pressing member 12 is mounted on the housing 11 via a snap fastener 13.
[0035] In this embodiment, the end of the third support frame 10 is provided with a limiting part 14 that cooperates with the second cavity.
[0036] Example 2, please refer to Figure 4-6 The difference from the above embodiment is that a first lifting frame 114 is also hinged at the hinge joint between the second connecting arm 7 and the fourth connecting arm 9, and a second lifting frame 15 is also hinged to the first lifting frame 114.
[0037] The first and second lifting brackets, when combined, can be used to support a cloth bathtub. When storing, the ends of the two lifting brackets are lifted upwards, which can lift the bathtub from the middle and then store it together.
[0038] In Embodiment 2, the locking structure includes a housing 11 through which a third support frame 10 passes. The inner side of the third support frame 10 is provided with a plurality of through holes 16. The housing 11 is provided with a through cylinder 17 and also includes a rotatable drive shaft 18. The end of the drive shaft 18 is provided with a plug-in part 19 that cooperates with it, is located in the through cylinder 17, and can be inserted into the through hole 16.
[0039] By rotating the drive shaft, the end of the drive shaft will push the plug into any through hole, thereby adjusting the height.
[0040] Specifically, the end of the drive shaft 18 is provided with a plurality of obliquely arranged guide portions 20, and the insertion portion 19 is provided with a guide groove 21 that cooperates with the guide portions 20;
[0041] The insertion part 19 is provided with a limiting part 22, and the through cylinder 17 is provided with a limiting groove 23 that cooperates with the limiting part 22.
[0042] Because the insertion part uses the limiting part and the limiting groove through the cylinder to cooperate, the insertion part can only move forward and backward horizontally. Under normal circumstances, the guide part is located in the guide groove. When the height needs to be adjusted, the drive shaft is rotated. Due to the guiding effect of the inclined surface, the insertion part is forced to move forward and thus insert into the through hole. Insertion into different through holes can achieve different height requirements.
[0043] Specifically, the through-tube 17 is provided with a spring sleeved on the outer periphery of the insertion part 19. After the drive shaft is rotated, the guide part uses the inclined surface of the guide groove to force the insertion part forward. Then the guide part falls into the positioning groove 191. At this time, the spring is compressed. When it needs to be adjusted again, the drive shaft is rotated again. The guide part uses the inclined surfaces on both sides of the positioning groove to guide, and with the restoring force of the spring, the insertion part is moved back. The guide groove and the guide part contact again. When the appropriate position is reached, the drive shaft can be rotated to fix it.
[0044] Specifically, the drive shaft 18 is driven to rotate via the pedal 24, making operation more convenient.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this application. Any other embodiments whose principles and basic structures are the same as or similar to those of this application are within the protection scope of this application.
