Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seating accessories technology, and more specifically, to a folding connection assembly for a conference chair. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some conference chairs on the market achieve seat panel folding functionality through a single-axis rotation structure. When space needs to be saved, the seat panel can be rotated around the connecting axis to an upright position; it can then be rotated back to a horizontal position for use. However, existing technology has significant drawbacks: when the seat panel is used horizontally, it relies solely on a fixed support plate (such as a single-sided fixed support block) near the connecting axis for support. When the user sits too close to the inner side of the seat panel (the side furthest from the connecting axis), the inner area of ​​the seat panel lacks auxiliary support, causing it to rotate unexpectedly around the connecting axis due to unilateral force (the user's weight is concentrated on the inner side), posing a risk of the user falling. Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing a folding connection component for conference chairs. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a folding connection assembly for a conference chair, including two first connecting plates, a seat plate rotatably connected between the two first connecting plates, a first support plate for supporting the seat plate fixedly connected between the two first connecting plates, and a support part movably provided between the two first connecting plates, the support part being used to provide auxiliary support for the seat plate when the seat plate is horizontal.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0026] For an example, please refer to... Figures 1-4 A folding connection assembly for a conference chair includes two first connecting plates 1, a seat plate 5 rotatably connected between the two first connecting plates 1, a first support plate 101 fixedly connected between the two first connecting plates 1 for supporting the seat plate 5, and a support part movably disposed between the two first connecting plates 1. The support part is used to provide auxiliary support for the seat plate 5 when it is horizontal. By setting the movable support part in the area near the rotation point of the seat plate 5, the support part can provide auxiliary support for the seat plate 5 when it is rotated horizontally. When the user sits near the inside, the support part can share the pressure on the seat plate 5, reducing the possibility of the seat plate 5 rotating unexpectedly due to uneven force, reducing the risk of the user falling due to the sudden rotation of the seat plate 5 during use, and improving the safety of the conference chair. Since the support part is movable, it can be moved when the seat plate 5 needs to be rotated upright to avoid affecting the rotation of the seat plate 5.

[0027] Furthermore, a connecting shaft 2 is fixedly connected between the two first connecting plates 1, and the seat plate 5 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 2. The connecting shaft 2 can connect the seat plate 5 to the first connecting plate 1 to support the seat plate 5.

[0028] Furthermore, the support includes a second support plate 105 disposed below the two first connecting plates 1, and a connector is provided between the second support plate 105 and the two first connecting plates 1; the top of the second support plate 105 is on the same plane as the top of the first support plate 101. When the seat plate 5 is rotated to a horizontal position, the first support plate 101 and the second support plate 105 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting shaft 2, thereby supporting the seat plate 5 and reducing the possibility of the seat plate 5 rotating during use. When it is necessary to rotate the seat plate 5 to an upright position, the second support plate 105 can be moved to the side of the connecting shaft 2 closer to the first support plate 101, thereby preventing the second support plate 105 from affecting the rotation of the seat plate 5.

[0029] Furthermore, the connector includes a groove 102 formed on the first connecting plate 1, a slider 103 slidably connected between the groove 102 and the first connecting plate 1, and the slider 103 is fixedly connected to the end of the second support plate 105. The second support plate 105 can be supported by the cooperation of the slider 103, the groove 104 and the groove 102, and the second support plate 105 can be moved.

[0030] Furthermore, a handle 107 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the slider 103, and the handle 107 is designed to facilitate manual pushing of the slider 103.

[0031] Furthermore, grooves 104 are provided at both the top and bottom of the slider 103, and the inner wall of the groove 104 is slidably connected to the first connecting plate 1.

[0032] Furthermore, a limiting member is provided between the side of the first connecting plate 1 and the groove 104. The limiting member includes two first magnets 106 disposed on the first connecting plate 1, with the two first magnets 106 respectively located on both sides of the connecting shaft 2. The limiting member also includes a second magnet embedded in the inner wall of the groove 104, and the second magnet is attracted to one of the first magnets 106. The attraction between the second magnet and the first magnet 106 can limit the slider 103 to reduce the possibility of accidental movement of the slider 103.

[0033] Furthermore, a third connecting plate 3 is connected between the two first connecting plates 1, and a backrest 4 is connected to the third connecting plate 3.

[0034] The usage process of the folding connection assembly for the conference chair provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0035] When it is necessary to rotate and stand the seat plate 5 upright, push the handle 107 to move the slider 103 toward the first support plate 101, thereby causing the second support plate 105 to move toward the first support plate 101. At this time, the second support plate 105 is located between the connecting shaft 2 and the first support plate 101. The seat plate 5 can then be rotated and stood upright with the connecting shaft 2 as the center. Figure 5As shown; when using it again, rotate the seat plate 5 to the horizontal, and then push the handle 107 away from the first support plate 101 so that the second support plate 105 moves to the side of the connecting shaft 2 away from the first support plate 101, that is, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the second support plate 105 and the first support plate 101 are in contact with the bottom of the seat plate 5. The second support plate 105 and the first support plate 101 cooperate with each other to support and limit the seat plate 5, reducing the rotation of the seat plate 5.
