Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of outdoor seating technology, specifically relating to an outdoor metal chair. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, outdoor metal chairs generally face the challenge of cleaning stubborn stains, especially common outdoor pollutants such as water stains, bird droppings, and dust. Cleaning outdoor metal chairs relies on regular manual wiping or high-pressure water gun washing, thus requiring dedicated personnel for maintenance, resulting in high labor costs.

[0003] However, even with dedicated maintenance personnel, users still need to wipe the surfaces before use if cleaning is not done promptly. If users do not have cleaning supplies with them, they cannot sit down, resulting in inconvenience.

[0004] The document with authorization announcement number CN222486711U discloses an easy-to-clean outdoor chair, including two chair frames arranged symmetrically from left to right. The bottom of the chair frames has supporting legs. Several spokes extending from left to right and forming the seat and backrest are connected between the chair frames. A cleaning plate is provided between the chair frames. The cleaning plate has cleaning holes through which all the spokes can pass. The walls of the cleaning holes are covered with bristles that adhere to the spokes. The cleaning plate is slidably connected to the spokes. The chair frames are ferromagnetic. Magnets are embedded in the cleaning plate. The front of the cleaning plate has grooves arranged symmetrically from left to right.

[0005] This device uses a left-right moving cleaning plate to allow the bristles inside the cleaning holes to wipe the spoke surface, achieving a cleaning effect. However, this device has the following problems: First, once the bristles inside the cleaning plate holes become dirty, it is difficult to clean them, requiring the entire cleaning plate to be removed, which is extremely difficult, thus making the device difficult to maintain. Second, outdoor metal chairs need to be long enough to seat at least two people, and the parallel arrangement of the spokes, with the frame only at the ends, results in insufficient support in the middle of the spokes. The method of using support bars in the middle of the spokes directly prevents the cleaning plate from passing over the entire spoke, thus the device suffers from a trade-off between support and cleaning effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an outdoor metal chair that, while ensuring the support effect of the seat board, allows the components that function to clean the seat board to slide smoothly on the seat board, thus making the outdoor metal chair compatible with support, cleaning effect, and aesthetics.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] An outdoor metal chair includes two support components distributed along a first direction and arranged opposite to each other, a seat structure disposed between the two support components and extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and two support components located at the lower ends of the seat structure other than the two sides connected to the support components; it also includes at least one cleaning component; the cleaning component includes a fixed plate located at the upper end of the seat structure and parallel to the upper surface of the seat structure, a cleaning block disposed on the fixed plate, and two sliding plates disposed at both ends of the fixed plate and slidably connected to the two support components respectively.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixed plate and the two sliding plates are rotatably connected by two rotating members; the rotating member includes a rotating rod rotatably connected to the fixed plate and distributed along a second direction, and a first fixing point and a second fixing point disposed on the sliding plate and used to connect with the rotating rod; when the rotating rod is fixed at one of the first fixing point and the second fixing point, the cleaning block abuts against the upper surface of the seat plate structure; or when the rotating rod is fixed at the other of the first fixing point and the second fixing point, the cleaning block can rotate around the rotating rod and move away from the upper surface of the seat plate structure.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first fixed position and the second fixed position are connected by a connecting channel, and the rotating rod enters from one of the first fixed position and the second fixed position through the connecting channel to the other of the first fixed position and the second fixed position; and the first fixed position and the second fixed position have an included angle of less than or equal to 90 degrees with the connecting channel.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove plate is provided on the side end of the sliding plate away from the seat plate structure; a side opening groove is formed on the limiting groove plate that matches the position of the higher one of the first fixing point and the second fixing point, the opening of the side opening groove facing the fixing plate and used to allow the fixing plate to drive the cleaning block into the groove.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a blocking body is provided on the inner top wall of the side opening groove near the groove opening, and the minimum distance between the blocking body and the inner bottom surface of the side opening groove is less than the sum of the thicknesses of the fixing plate and the cleaning block.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the blocking body gradually decreases along the direction from the opening of the side opening groove to the bottom surface of the side opening groove.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the first fixing point and the second fixing point are grooves retracted from the surface of the sliding plate.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning block includes at least one hydrophobic layer.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning block has a middle section and an edge section, and the thickness of the middle section is greater than the thickness of the edge section.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model, through the coordinated connection of the support component and the cleaning component, can achieve the purpose of external cleaning component to clean the surface of the seat plate structure. Furthermore, the seat plate structure itself will not affect the operation of the cleaning component, and the cleaning component is easy to disassemble and maintain, thus having the advantages of strong practicality and good economy.

[0019] This invention further optimizes the cleaning components, integrating cleaning and support functions into the cleaning components, enabling them to function stably in usage scenarios other than cleaning, and has the advantages of strong functionality and good aesthetics.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "set" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] This embodiment provides an outdoor metal chair, as shown in the attached image. Figure 1 ~Appendix Figure 4 As shown, it includes two support components 1 distributed along a first direction D1 and arranged opposite to each other, a seat structure 2 disposed between the two support components 1 and extending along a second direction D2 perpendicular to the first direction D1, and two support components 3 located at the lower ends of the seat structure 2, which are different from the two sides connected to the support components 1.

[0033] In this design, the first direction D1 refers to the length direction of the seat structure 2, and the second direction D2 refers to the width direction of the seat structure 2. The lower end of the support component 1 can be connected to a base for direct fixation to the ground to improve support strength. The upper end of the support component 1 is connected to the seat structure 2, and preferably, the upper surface of the support component 1 is flush with the upper surface of the seat structure 2. The seat structure 2 can be composed of multiple parallel or intersecting strips connected together. The support assembly 3 is located on the lower surface side of the seat structure 2 and distributed along the first direction D1. Both ends of the support assembly 3 can be fixedly connected to two support components 1 respectively. The upper surface of the support assembly 3 abuts against the lower surface of the seat structure 2, thereby strengthening the support of the seat structure 2.

[0034] It is understandable that a backrest structure can also be provided along the length of the seat structure 2, but it is necessary to ensure that there is a continuous space between the backrest structure and the seat structure 2 distributed along the first direction D1.

[0035] In this embodiment, at least one cleaning component 4 is also included; the cleaning component 4 includes a fixed plate 41 located at the upper end of the seat structure 2 and parallel to the upper surface of the seat structure 2, a cleaning block 42 disposed on the fixed plate 41, and two sliding plates 43 disposed at both ends of the fixed plate 41 and slidably connected to the two hosting components 3 respectively.

[0036] The length of the fixed plate 41 must be greater than the width of the seat structure 2 to ensure that the fixed plate 41 can span the entire seat structure 2. The sliding plate 43 is located at the side end of the seat structure 2 along its length and is parallel to the support assembly 3. The sliding plate 43 is slidably connected to the support assembly 3 at the lower end of the seat structure 2. Specifically, the support assembly 3 can be provided with a groove along the first direction D1, and the lower end of the sliding plate 43 can be provided with a sliding column that is slidably connected to the groove. The cleaning block 42 includes at least one hydrophobic layer 421, which can be made directly from existing hydrophobic materials or formed by covering and filling layers. Existing hydrophobic materials can be modified polyester fibers such as fluorocarbon copolyester, silver ion chelated polyester, etc.

[0037] It is worth noting that the fixed position of the sliding plate 43 on the fixed plate 41 needs to ensure that the lower surface of the cleaning block 42 can fit against the upper surface of the seat plate structure 2, so that when the sliding plate 43 drives the fixed plate 41 to move along the length of the seat plate structure 2, the cleaning block 42 can contact the seat plate structure 2 with pressure, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the seat plate structure.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the fixed plate 41 and the two sliding plates 43 are rotatably connected by two rotating members 44. Each rotating member 44 includes a rotating rod 441 rotatably connected to the fixed plate 41 and distributed along a second direction D2, and a first fixing point 442 and a second fixing point 443 disposed on the sliding plate 43 for connection with the rotating rod 441. When the rotating rod 441 is fixed at one of the first fixing points 442 and the second fixing point 443, the cleaning block 42 abuts against the upper surface of the seat structure 2; or when the rotating rod 441 is fixed at the other of the first fixing points 442 and the second fixing point 443, the cleaning block 42 can rotate around the rotating rod 441 and move away from the upper surface of the seat structure 2. Furthermore, both the first fixing point 442 and the second fixing point 443 are grooves recessed into the surface of the sliding plate 43.

[0039] The fixed plate 41 has a through hole, through which the rotating rod 441 passes and extends to the outside of the hole to connect with the sliding plate 43. The first fixing point 442 and the second fixing point 443 are distributed vertically along the direction perpendicular to the ground. When the rotating rod 441 is fixed by the lower first fixing point 442 or the second fixing point 443, the cleaning block 42 is used to wipe the upper surface of the seat structure 2. When the rotating rod 441 is fixed by the upper first fixing point 442 or the second fixing point 443, the cleaning block 42 can be flipped so that it faces away from the ground. In this state, the cleaning block 42 can be thoroughly cleaned by rainwater or cleaning water, ensuring its surface cleanliness. Furthermore, since the cleaning block 42 is at a high position, its height is comparable to the support height of the armrest, allowing it to function as a support layer for the armrest and improving comfort. Moreover, the cleaning block 42 has a middle section and an edge section, with the thickness of the middle section being greater than the thickness of the edge section, and a smooth transition between the middle section and the edge section. The purpose of this design is twofold: first, to enhance the pressure between the middle of the cleaning block 42 and the seat structure 2, and since the middle of the seat structure 2 is a high-frequency cleaning position, it helps to improve the cleaning effect; second, when the cleaning block 42 is in a position away from the seat structure 2, the cleaning water is less likely to accumulate on the cleaning block 42, which also helps the stains to fall off the cleaning block 42.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the first fixed point 442 and the second fixed point 443 are connected by a connecting channel 444. The rotating rod 441 enters from one of the first fixed point 442 and the other of the second fixed point 443 through the connecting channel 444; and the first fixed point 442 and the second fixed point 443 each have an angle of less than or equal to 90 degrees with the connecting channel 444. The advantage of setting the connecting channel 444 is that it can realize quick switching between the two points, improving the practicality of the cleaning component 4. The angle limit between the connecting channel 444 and the point is to reduce the probability that the rotating rod 441 will accidentally slide from the point into the connecting channel 444 during use.

[0041] In some preferred embodiments, a limiting groove plate 431 is provided on the side end of the sliding plate 43 away from the seat structure 2; the limiting groove plate 431 has a side opening groove 4311 that matches the higher of the first fixing point 442 and the second fixing point 443, the opening of the side opening groove 4311 facing the fixing plate 41 and used to allow the fixing plate 41 to drive the cleaning block 42 into the groove. The purpose of this arrangement is to ensure the stability of the armrest structure when the fixing plate 41 is in the high position, that is, to prevent it from accidentally flipping over. Therefore, the limiting groove plate 431 with a C-shaped structure is provided so that after the fixing plate 41 moves to the side limit position, the limiting groove plate 431 can partially engage with the fixing plate 41 and the cleaning block 42, thereby improving its support strength.

[0042] Furthermore, a stop 4312 is provided on the inner top wall of the side opening groove 4311 near the groove opening, and the minimum distance between the stop 4312 and the inner bottom surface of the side opening groove 4311 is less than the sum of the thicknesses of the fixing plate 41 and the cleaning block 42. The purpose of providing the stop 4312 is to serve as a reminder: a major difference between the fixing plate 41 and the cleaning block 42 is that they are made of hard materials and soft materials, respectively. Hard materials are not easily deformed, while soft materials can deform and recover. Therefore, when the stop 4312 is provided on the inner top wall of the groove opening, when the fixing plate 41, being a hard material, is located at the upper end of the cleaning block 42, the entire structure cannot enter the side opening groove 4311 to be fixed, but vice versa. Therefore, the stop 4312 serves as a reminder, indicating to the operator that when the rotating rod 411 is in a high position, the cleaning block 42 needs to be flipped to be limited and fixed at its limit position. Furthermore, the thickness of the blocking body 4312 gradually decreases along the direction from the opening of the side opening groove 4311 to the bottom surface of the side opening groove 4311. This is designed to reduce wear between the blocking body 4312 and the cleaning block 42.

[0043] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
