Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding rocking chair technology, and more specifically, to a portable rocking chair. Background Technology

[0002] Existing portable rocking chairs typically use foldable or modular metal rods as the main body, with a seat fabric attached to the top. The design of these rocking chairs is largely based on the traditional rocking chair concept, achieving the rocking effect through the movement of the seat fabric or the chair body as a whole. Two common solutions are: First, the main chair structure is relatively fixed, with the seat fabric suspended from vertical rods on both sides. When the user sits down, the seat fabric swings back and forth relative to the main chair body, creating a rocking sensation. Second, the chair is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part serves as the swinging unit supporting the seat fabric, while the lower part is fixed to the ground. The upper and lower parts are connected by a structural element to achieve the back-and-forth rocking motion.

[0003] However, the aforementioned existing portable rocking chairs all rely on the back-and-forth swinging of the entire chair fabric to produce a rocking effect. With this structure, users often experience a significant sense of insecurity due to the lack of stable, fixed support points. Especially when the chair fabric swings and the feet are suspended in the air, the lack of contact with the ground or fixed components makes users easily imagine the possibility of losing balance or even falling, thus resulting in a lack of security in the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing portable rocking chairs that rely on the overall back-and-forth swinging of the chair fabric, which leads to a lack of stable support for users and a sense of insecurity when their feet are dangling in the air. This invention provides a portable rocking chair that can improve safety and stability while maintaining the rocking experience.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a portable rocking chair is provided, comprising an upper support seat and a lower support seat, which are mutually limited and movably connected. The upper support seat is connected to a rear support rod, and the lower support seat is connected to a rear support leg. A front support rod is located in front of the rear support rod, and the upper ends of the front support rod and the rear support rod are connected to the chair fabric. The chair fabric has a seat area and a backrest area for supporting the buttocks and back of the human body, respectively. The front support leg is located in front of the rear support leg. When the rocking chair is unfolded, the front support leg, the rear support leg, and the front support rod remain in a fixed position relative to the ground. The rear support rod swings back and forth with the movement of the upper support seat relative to the lower support seat, thereby driving the backrest area of ​​the chair fabric to tilt forward or rock backward.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model, through the movable connection between the upper and lower support seats, and by enabling the rear support rod to drive the chair back area to rock back and forth, avoids the method of relying on the overall back and forth swing of the chair fabric in the prior art. Because the front and rear support legs cooperate to form a stable support, and the front support rod remains fixed to the ground during use, the user can obtain a reliable support point when sitting on the chair fabric, and will not feel insecure due to their feet dangling in the air. Furthermore, the fixed front support rod prevents the rear support rod from swinging back and forth, keeping the front edge of the chair fabric stationary. The user's inner thighs can stably rest against the front edge of the chair fabric, so that when the body leans forward or backward, the contact point felt by the thighs does not shift, providing greater psychological comfort and peace of mind.

[0007] According to one embodiment of this utility model, an elastic element is positioned and installed between the upper support seat and the lower support seat. When the upper support seat swings relative to the lower support seat, the elastic element deforms and provides a restoring force to the swing. This design makes the swinging process smoother, allowing users to experience a natural reciprocating motion. It also automatically returns to its initial position after the force is stopped, improving operational convenience and safety.

[0008] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a connecting rod is also included, which connects to the lower support seat to form a horizontally arranged frame. This structure helps to enhance the overall stability of the rocking chair, making the front and rear legs less prone to deformation or displacement during swinging, thereby improving the overall load-bearing capacity and service life.

[0009] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting rod includes a longitudinal connecting rod, one end of which is movably connected to the lower support seat, and the other end is provided with a connecting seat for connecting the front support leg and / or the front support rod. This design allows the front support leg and the front support rod to form a stable support point, while achieving reliable fixation through the connecting seat, thereby improving the stability of the rocking chair under different load conditions.

[0010] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting rod further includes a transverse connecting rod for connecting the two connecting seats. This structure enables the rocking chair to have better overall integrity in the transverse direction, avoiding swaying caused by unilateral force, thereby improving the overall structural strength and safety.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting seat has a second insertion slot, into which the front support rod and / or front support leg are inserted in the folded state and arranged in the front-rear direction. This design can significantly simplify the folding and storage operation of the rocking chair, reduce the space occupied, facilitate carrying and storage, and improve portability.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lower support seat has a first insertion groove in which, in the folded state, the rear support rod and / or the rear support leg are inserted and arranged in the front-rear direction.

[0013] This design allows the rocking chair to remain compactly arranged after folding, preventing parts from becoming loose and improving storage neatness and transportation convenience.

[0014] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a spring buckle is installed inside the rear support leg, and the spring buckle engages with the lower support seat. This design enables quick positioning and stable connection when the rocking chair is unfolded, preventing the support leg from accidentally falling off during use, thereby improving safety and reliability.

[0015] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the upper support or lower support is provided with a first limiting part, which is used to trigger the limiting when the movement reaches one end of the stroke. This structure can effectively control the swing range, avoid excessive swing of the upper support causing discomfort to the user or damage to the structure, thereby ensuring safe use.

[0016] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the upper or lower support seat is provided with a second limiting part, which is used to trigger the limiting when the movement reaches the other end of the stroke. This design, in conjunction with the first limiting part, can achieve effective limiting at both ends, ensuring stable and controllable swing process, and further improving safety and durability.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rocking chair has an initial state after being unfolded. The upper support seat is located at any position between forward tilting and backward rocking relative to the lower support seat. When the user sits down, the chair fabric transfers the user's weight to the upper support seat, causing it to move from the initial position in the forward tilting direction, thereby producing a cushioning effect and improving the comfort and safety of sitting down.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rocking chair has an initial state after being unfolded, and the upper support seat is located in a forward tilting position or a backward rocking position relative to the lower support seat. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1-11 As shown, this embodiment discloses a portable rocking chair, including an upper support seat 1 and a lower support seat 2, which are mutually restrained and movably connected by a pivot 3. A rear support rod 6 is connected to the upper end of the upper support seat 1, and a rear support leg 5 is connected to the lower end of the lower support seat 2. A front support rod 9 is located in front of the rear support rod 6, and the upper ends of the front support rod 9 and the rear support rod 6 are connected to a chair fabric (not shown in the figure). The chair fabric includes a seat area and a backrest area, used to support the buttocks and back of the human body, respectively. The front support leg 8 is located in front of the rear support leg 5.

[0042] When the rocking chair is in the unfolded state, the front support leg 8, the rear support leg 5, and the front support rod 9 remain in a fixed position relative to the ground. The rear support rod 6 swings back and forth with the upper support seat 1 relative to the lower support seat 2, thereby driving the chair back area to tilt forward or back, thus realizing the rocking function.

[0043] Furthermore, combined Figure 3 As shown, the upper support 1 includes a seat body 11. The upper end of the seat body 11 is inclined with a first connecting portion 12, which adopts a slot structure. The lower end of the rear support rod 6 is inserted into it, achieving a reliable detachable fit. Since the rear support rod 6 supports the backrest, its length is designed to be greater than that of the front support rod 9, making the backrest area higher than the seat surface area. The lower end of the seat body 11 has a protruding first bearing seat 14 and a grooved first spring seat 13. A first limiting portion 15 is integrally provided on the rear side of the first bearing seat 14 to limit the swing stroke.

[0044] Furthermore, combined Figure 4As shown, the lower support seat 2 has a second connecting part 21 at its lower end, which adopts a slot structure and is inserted into the upper end of the rear support leg 5 to ensure stable support of the rear support leg 5. The lower support seat 2 has a hinge groove 22 on its front side, and one end of the longitudinal connecting rod 71 is inserted into the hinge groove 22 to form a hinge connection with the lower support seat 2. The lower support seat 2 has a first insertion groove 23 in the front-rear direction for the rear support rod 6 and / or the rear support leg 5 to be inserted in the folded state and arranged in the front-rear direction. The lower support seat 2 has a second spring seat 25 and a second shaft seat 24 at its upper end. The second shaft seat 24 cooperates with the first shaft seat 14 of the upper support seat 1 to form the mounting position of the rotating shaft 3, so that the upper support seat 1 can rotate relative to the lower support seat 2 around the rotating shaft 3.

[0045] Furthermore, combining Figure 8 As shown, in the unfolded state, the two longitudinal connecting rods 71, one transverse connecting rod 72, and the lower support 2 together form an approximately triangular frame structure. This frame structure is horizontally set, which significantly improves the overall stability. In the folded state, the longitudinal connecting rods 71 ​​can be folded together in parallel, making it easy to fold and store.

[0046] Specifically, in combination Figure 9 As shown, the connecting seat 10 is provided with a third connecting part 10a, a fourth connecting part 10b, and a lateral connecting part 10d, all of which are slot-type structures. The third connecting part 10a is used to insert and cooperate with the upper end of the front support leg 8, the fourth connecting part 10b is used to insert and cooperate with the lower end of the front support rod 9, and the two ends of the transverse connecting rod 72 are respectively inserted and cooperated with the lateral connecting parts 10d of the two connecting seats 10, so that the front support rod 9 and the front support leg 8 are stably installed through the connecting seat 10, forming a reliable force-bearing fulcrum.

[0047] Furthermore, the connecting seat 10 is also provided with a second insertion slot 10c. When the rocking chair is folded, the front support rod 9 and / or the front support leg 8 can be inserted into the insertion slot and arranged in the front-back direction to achieve compact storage.

[0048] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 As shown, an elastic element 4 is positioned and installed between the upper support seat 1 and the lower support seat 2. When the upper support seat 1 swings relative to the lower support seat 2, the elastic element 4 deforms and provides a restoring force to the swing. In this embodiment, the elastic element 4 is a helical compression spring, with its upper and lower ends positioned in the first spring seat 13 and the second spring seat 25, respectively, and the compression spring is located on the front side of the rotating shaft 3. When the upper support seat 1 swings, the elastic element 4 is compressed to generate an elastic restoring force, ensuring that the chair back automatically returns to its initial position after tilting forward or backward, avoiding displacement.

[0049] Specifically, in combination Figure 10As shown, the front support leg 8 and the rear support leg 5 adopt a tubular structure, and a spring buckle 51 is installed inside. When the rear support leg 5 is inserted into the second connecting part 21, the spring buckle 51 can reliably engage with the inner wall of the second connecting part 21, thereby providing a positioning function during folding or unfolding operations.

[0050] Furthermore, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the upper support 1 and the lower support 2 are respectively provided with a first limiting part 15 and a second limiting part. In this embodiment, the second spring seat 25 is a boss structure, which functions as the second limiting part. When the upper support 1 swings relative to the lower support 2 to one end of its stroke, the first limiting part 15 abuts against the lower support 2 to prevent excessive backward swinging; when it swings to the other end, the upper end of the second spring seat 25 abuts against the upper support 1 to prevent excessive forward tilting, thereby ensuring that the swing stroke is within a reasonable range.

[0051] Specifically, in use, the front support leg 8 and the rear support leg 5 cooperate to form a stable force-bearing support structure, ensuring the stability of the rocking chair during use. The total number of front support legs 8 and rear support legs 5 is at least three, and the total number of front support rods 9 and rear support rods 6 is also at least three. This embodiment uses a design with two front support legs 8, two rear support legs 5, two front support rods 9, and two rear support rods 6. The front support rod 9 remains fixed at all times; the front edge of the chair fabric connected to its upper end will not shift with rocking, allowing the user's inner thighs to rest stably against the front edge of the chair fabric after sitting down. When the user leans forward or rocks backward, the thigh contact point remains unchanged, providing a stronger sense of stability and security.

[0052] Furthermore, combined Figure 7 As shown, the rocking chair, when unfolded, has an initial state where the upper support seat 1 is positioned at any angle between forward tilting and backward rocking relative to the lower support seat 2. When a person sits on the chair fabric, their weight is transferred to the upper support seat 1 through the fabric, causing a slight displacement and moderate deformation of the seat surface, enhancing comfort and support. In another embodiment, the initial state corresponds to the forward tilt position, ensuring that the seat surface remains almost undeformed when seated, providing a stable sitting experience; subsequently, when leaning back against the backrest area, the upper support seat 1 rocks backward and slowly returns to its original position under the action of the elastic element 4, further enhancing the user experience.

[0053] In this embodiment, the rocking chair is used as follows: The user first unfolds the rocking chair from its folded state, with the front support leg 8 and rear support leg 5 contacting the ground to form stable support. The user sits on the seat, and the weight of the user's body is transferred to the upper support seat 1, driving the rear support rod 6 to swing, causing the backrest area to tilt forward. When the user's back rests against the backrest area of ​​the seat and applies a backward force, the rear support rod 6 swings backward accordingly, realizing the backrest area rocking backward; under the action of the elastic element 4, the backrest area can follow the back support rod 6 to swing back and forth, thereby realizing the rocking chair's back and forth rocking function. Since the front support rod 9 is fixed and the front edge of the seat fabric does not move, after use, the front support rod 9 and the front support leg 8 can be inserted into the second insertion slot 10c of the connecting seat 10, and the rear support rod 6 and the rear support leg 5 can be inserted into the first insertion slot 23 of the lower support seat 2, achieving compact folding and storage. Example 2

[0054] Combination Figure 12 As shown, the structure of the elastic element 4 can have various variations. In this embodiment, the elastic element 4 is replaced by a tension spring, with its two ends connected to the upper support seat 1 and the lower support seat 2, respectively, and the tension spring is located on the rear side of the rotating shaft 3. Example 3

[0055] Combination Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic element 4 adopts a torsion spring structure. The torsion spring is fitted onto the outside of the rotating shaft 3, and its two ends abut against the lower end face of the upper support seat 1 and the upper end face of the lower support seat 2, respectively. In other embodiments, the spring element 4 may be replaced by a leaf spring instead of the torsion spring structure in this embodiment.
