Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Moreover, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides a foldable chair, which includes a support rod assembly 1, a first folding rod assembly 2, and a second folding rod assembly 3. The first folding rod assembly 2 and the second folding rod assembly 3 can be folded to be flush with or approximately flush with the support rod assembly 1, thereby realizing the folding function of the foldable chair.
[0043] In one possible embodiment, the first folding lever assembly 2 and the second folding lever assembly 3 are rotatably disposed on both sides of the support rod assembly 1. The first folding lever assembly 2 and the second folding lever assembly 3 can fold to both sides of the support rod assembly 1. The first folding lever assembly 2 may be provided with a human body support part, and the second folding lever assembly 3 may be in contact with the ground. When the chair is in the unfolded state, the first folding lever assembly 2 may be located above the support rod assembly 1, and the second folding lever assembly 3 may be located below the support rod assembly 1.
[0044] Optionally, the support rod assembly 1 may include a main support rod 11, which is a telescopic rod structure. When the chair is in the unfolded state, the main support rod 11 can be stretched, and when the chair is in the folded state, the main support rod 11 can be retracted, thereby realizing the unfolding or folding of the chair.
[0045] During the use of the chair, when the first folding rod group 2 folds down to be flush with or nearly flush with the support rod group 1, the second folding rod group 3 folds up to be flush with or nearly flush with the support rod group 1, and the main support rod 11 is in a retracted state, the chair changes from an unfolded state to a folded state.
[0046] Similarly, the first folding lever group 2 can be folded upward to its limit, the second folding lever group 3 can be folded downward to its limit, and the main support rod 11 can be stretched, thereby changing the chair from a folded state to an unfolded state.
[0047] In the embodiments of this application, when it is necessary to unfold the chair or fold the chair, the relative angle between the first folding rod group 2 and the support rod group 1 can be adjusted, the relative angle between the second folding rod group 3 and the support rod group 1 can be adjusted, and the extension and retraction state of the support main rod 11 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the state transition of the chair between the unfolded state and the folded state. Thus, the chair can be unfolded when it is needed and folded when it is not needed, resulting in a chair that can efficiently save space.
[0048] In one possible embodiment, the support rod assembly 1 includes a first support rod 12. The first end of the first support rod 12 can be disposed on the main support rod 11, and the second end of the first support rod 12 is rotatably connected to the first folding rod assembly 2. When the chair is in the unfolded state, the first support rod 12 can be used to support the first folding rod assembly 2.
[0049] In one possible embodiment, the first end of the first support rod 12 is rotatably provided with a connecting slide 13, and the first end of the first support rod 12 is mounted on the main support rod 11 through the connecting slide 13.
[0050] Optionally, the connecting slide 13 is slidably mounted on the supporting main rod 11, and the first end of the first supporting rod 12 can be rotated and slidably mounted on the supporting main rod 11 through the connecting slide 13.
[0051] During the folding or unfolding of the chair, the connecting slide 13 can slide on the main support rod 11. During the adjustment of the relative angle between the main support rod 11 and the first support rod 12, the first end of the first support rod 12 slides on the main support rod 11 via the connecting slide 13.
[0052] In one possible embodiment, a buffer 14 is provided between the connecting slide 13 and the bottom end of the support rod 11. When a person sits on the support part of the first folding rod assembly 2, or when the first folding rod assembly 2 is used to place heavy objects, the buffer 14 provides buffer support to the connecting slide 13, thereby preventing the slide from continuously moving downward and causing the first folding rod assembly 2 to continuously fold downward relative to the support rod assembly 1, and also preventing the connecting slide 13 from suddenly moving downward and causing the chair to become unstable when a person suddenly sits on the human support part.
[0053] In one possible embodiment, the buffer 14 includes a buffer cylinder or a buffer spring. The support rod 11 can provide buffer support to the connecting slide 13 through the buffer cylinder or buffer spring.
[0054] In one possible embodiment, the second folding rod assembly 3 includes two supporting ground rods 31, which can support the first folding rod assembly 2 and the support rod assembly 1 by contacting the ground.
[0055] When the chair is in the unfolded state, the first end of the main support rod 11 contacts the ground, and the second end of the main support rod 11 is connected to the first end of the ground support rod 31, the second end of which is also in contact with the ground. The main support rod 11, the ground support rod, and the ground can form a triangular support structure, which has relatively high support stability.
[0056] In one possible embodiment, a first connecting rod 32 is provided between the two supporting ground rods 31. The two ends of the first connecting rod 32 can be connected to the two supporting ground rods 31 respectively, and the two ends of the first connecting rod 32 can be detachably connected to the two ground rods.
[0057] Optionally, a second connecting rod 33 is connected to the middle section of the first connecting rod 32, and the two ends of the second connecting rod 33 are respectively rotatably mounted on the first connecting rod 32 and the main support rod 11. The second connecting rod 33, together with the second end of the main support rod 11 and the first end of the bottom support rod, can form a triangular support structure, which has relatively high support stability.
[0058] Optionally, after the chair is finished using, the second connecting rod 33 and the supporting ground rod 31 are rotated to be flush with or nearly flush with the supporting main rod 11, so that the chair can be stored away.
[0059] In one possible embodiment, the first folding rod assembly 2 includes two second support rods 21 and two third support rods 22 corresponding to the two second support rods 21. The second support rods 21 and the third support rods 22 can work together to provide ergonomic support for the chair.
[0060] Optionally, the first end of each second support rod 21 can be rotatably mounted on the main support rod 11, and the second end of each second support rod 21 is rotatably connected to the third support rod 22 corresponding to each second support rod 21.
[0061] Optionally, a rotating connector may be provided at the connection between the second support rod 21 and the main support rod 11, and at the connection between the second support rod 21 and the third support rod 22. The rotating connector may be used for rotating connection between the main support rod 11, the second support rod 21 and the third support rod 22.
[0062] Optionally, the distance between the first ends of the two second support rods 21 is smaller than the distance between the second ends of the two second support rods 21. This design can improve the stability of the chair when in use. When the chair is folded, the main support rod 11 and the first support rod 12 can be retracted between the two second support rods 21.
[0063] Optionally, when the chair is in the unfolded state, the second support rod 21 is used to support the buttocks of the user. The second support rod 21 can be set horizontally, and the third support rod 22 is used to support the back of the user. The third support rod 22 can be set vertically. An armrest 221 structure can be provided on the third support rod 22. The armrest 221 can also be rotatably set on the third support rod 22 and can be retracted to a state parallel to the third support rod 22.
[0064] In one possible embodiment, a rotating folding assembly 23 is provided between the two third support rods 22. The rotating folding assembly 23 is used to bring the two third support rods 22 together, thereby folding the two third support rods 22.
[0065] Optionally, the rotating folding assembly 23 includes a rotating folding base 231 and two fourth support rods 232. Each fourth support rod 232 has its two ends rotatably and slidably mounted on two third support rods 22, and at least one end of each fourth support rod 232 is slidably mounted on the two third support rods 22. One or both ends of each fourth support rod 232 can be slidably mounted on the two third support rods 22, thereby enabling the folding of the fourth support rods 232 on the third support rods 22. The two fourth support rods 232 can be symmetrically arranged. When the chair is unfolded, the fourth support rods 232 unfold relative to the rotating folding base 231; when the chair is folded, the fourth support rods 232 fold relative to the rotating folding base 231.
[0066] Optionally, the second end of the first support rod 12 can be rotatably mounted on the rotating folding seat 231, so that the first support rod 12 rotates on the rotating folding seat 231 when the chair is unfolded or retracted.
[0067] Optionally, the two fourth support rods 232 are arranged crosswise via a rotating folding seat 231, which can be located at the center of the intersection of the two fourth folding rods.
[0068] Optionally, the rotating folding base 231 is provided with two first limiting portions 233 corresponding to the two fourth support rods 232. Each fourth support rod 232 is rotatably disposed within the first limiting portion 233 corresponding to each fourth support rod 232. The first limiting portion 233 can be as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the limiting hole or limiting groove structure, during the folding or unfolding of the chair, the fourth support rod 232 always reciprocates within the limiting hole structure, and the limiting hole structure of the first limiting part 233 is used to limit the rotation angle of the fourth support rod 232 on the rotating folding seat 231.
[0069] In one possible embodiment, a second limiting part 111 is provided at the connection between the main support rod 11 and the second support rod 21. The first end of the second support rod 21 is rotatably disposed in the second limiting part 111. The second limiting part 111 may include a limiting hole structure. During the folding or unfolding of the chair, the limiting hole structure of the second limiting part 111 is used to limit the relative angle between the second support rod 21 and the main support rod 11.
[0070] Optionally, a third limiting part 234 is provided at the connection between the third support rod 22 and the second support rod 21. The second end of the second support rod 21 is rotatably disposed within the third limiting part 234, and the first end of the third support rod 22 can also be rotatably disposed within the third limiting part 234. The third limiting part 234 may include, for example, Figure 4The two limiting hole structures shown are used to limit the rotation angle of the second support rod 21 and the third support rod 22 during the folding or unfolding of the chair.
