[0002] A folding chair is a portable seat designed for convenient folding and carrying. It is usually made of lightweight materials and equipped with a foldable bracket and seat part, allowing users to easily fold it up for storage and transportation. Folding chairs are widely used in various occasions such as outdoor activities, picnics, camping, sports events, concerts, and indoor temporary seating arrangements.

[0003] Existing folding chairs include a frame and a seat surface. When in use, users need to hold the frame and then fix the seat part by stepping on it or other means. Thus, by opening and holding the seat part of the chair, and the same steps are involved during storage. By folding up the frame, the folding chair can be folded and stored.

[0004] When using existing folding chairs, users need to hold the frame to open or store the folding mechanism. However, during the storage process, the internal rods of the frame will be folded up. When users hold the frame, if they do not correctly hold the frame part but only hold some of the rods, it will cause the rods to fold up during the process of folding the frame, resulting in users being pinched and injured, which has certain potential safety hazards.

This allows the two rotating rods to rotate and fold, thereby unlocking the frame and enabling it to fold. By restricting the user's hands to hold both pressing plates, the problem of pinching injuries caused by the user mistakenly holding a single rod inside the frame for folding and storage is avoided.

[0020] 2.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a folding chair anti-pinch structure, including a frame 2, a seat surface 1 on the outer surface of the frame 2, and a protective component 3 on the outer surface of the frame 2. The protective component 3 includes two mounting blocks 301 disposed on the outer surface of the frame 2. A rotating rod 302 is hinged inside the mounting block 301. The adjacent ends of the two rotating rods 302 are hinged together. Two transmission rods 304 are inserted inside the mounting block 301. A rotating plate 305 is hinged to the end of the transmission rod 304 near the rotating rod 302. The adjacent ends of the two rotating plates 305 are hinged together by a pin. A connecting block 306 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pin at the hinge part of the two rotating plates 305. A compression block 307 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting block 306 near the rotating rod 302. A compression spring 308 is fixedly connected between the end of the connecting block 306 away from the rotating rod 302 and the inner wall of the mounting block 301.

[0031] Specifically, a pressing plate 303 is slidably connected to the end of the two transmission rods 304 away from the rotating plate 305. A rectangular groove for the movement of the transmission rods 304 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting block 301. A tooth is provided at the end of the rotating rod 302 near the pressing block 307. A soft protrusion that mates with the outer surface of the pressing block 307 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating rod 302. In the initial state, the rotating rod 302 is tilted to one side. A limiting groove for the sliding of the connecting block 306 is provided inside the mounting block 301.

[0032] Furthermore, by simultaneously holding the pressing plates 303 on the outer surfaces of the two mounting blocks 301, the rotating plate 305 is driven to rotate via the transmission rod 304. When the rotating plate 305 rotates, the connecting block 306 moves away from the rotating rod 302. When the connecting block 306 moves, it causes the soft protrusion on the outer surface of the pressing block 307 to separate from the teeth on the outer surface of the rotating rod 302, thereby unlocking the rotating rod 302. At this time, when the frame 2 is folded and stored, the two rotating rods 302 can be folded together, thereby unlocking the frame 2. When unlocking, the user's hands are restricted from holding both pressing plates 303, thus avoiding the phenomenon of the frame 2 being pinched when the user mistakenly holds a single rod inside the frame 2.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The outer surface of the mounting block 301 is provided with a mounting component 4. The mounting component 4 includes a docking block 404 that is movably connected to the mounting block 301. A plug rod 402 is inserted inside the docking block 404. A connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the plug rod 402. A tension spring 403 is fixedly connected between the connecting plate 401 and the docking block 404.

[0035] Specifically, the outer surface of the frame 2 is provided with a socket that mates with the plug rod 402, the mounting block 301 is provided with a plug groove on the side near the docking block 404, the outer surface of the docking block 404 is provided with a plug protrusion that mates with the plug groove, and two baffles 405 are fixedly connected to the side of the docking block 404 away from the mounting block 301. The inner side of the baffles 405 is provided with a limit groove, and the outer surface of the connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected with a limit block that mates with the limit groove.

[0036] Furthermore, when maintenance is required or the protective component 3 is not needed, the insert rod 402 is pulled out, causing it to separate from the insertion hole on the outer surface of the frame 2. Then, the docking block 404 is pulled out, separating it from the mounting block 301, thereby disassembling the protective component 3 for convenient maintenance.

[0037] Working principle: When using the folding chair and needing to fold it away, simultaneously hold the pressing plates 303 on the outer surfaces of both mounting blocks 301. This drives the rotating plate 305 to rotate via the transmission rod 304. As the rotating plate 305 rotates, it moves the connecting block 306 away from the rotating rod 302. This movement of the connecting block 306 causes the soft protrusions on the outer surface of the pressing block 307 to separate from the teeth on the outer surface of the rotating rod 302, thus unlocking the rotating rod 302. At this point, when the frame 2 is folded and folded away, the two rotating rods 302 can move together. The folding mechanism allows the frame 2 to be folded, and during unlocking, the user's hands are restricted from holding both pressing plates 303. This prevents the user from accidentally gripping a single rod inside the frame 2, which could cause injury when the frame 2 is folded up. When maintenance is required or the protective component 3 is no longer needed, the insertion rod 402 is pulled out, causing it to separate from the insertion hole on the outer surface of the frame 2. Then, the docking block 404 is pulled out, separating it from the mounting block 301. This allows the protective component 3 to be disassembled for easy maintenance, and finally, the folding chair can be used.

[0038] It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
