[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0022] See Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a rocking chair support provided by this utility model. Combined with... Figures 1 to 9 The rocking chair frame includes, for example, a seat 10, a backrest 20, a support 30, a swinging part 40, and armrests 50. The seat 10 includes a seat body 11 and seat mounting brackets 12 located on both sides of the seat body 11, with the brackets connected to the lower part of the seat body 11. The backrest 20 is inclined and positioned above the seat body 11. For example, the backrest 20 is connected to the rear end of the seat body 11 and extends upwards at an angle to support the user's back. The seat mounting brackets 12 are located on the left and right sides of the seat body 11 and extend vertically downwards. The support 30 is positioned on the left and right sides of the seat body 11 and provides support. For example, the support 30 is inclined and positioned on the left and right sides of the seat body 11, forming a V-shaped support structure on both sides of the seat body 11 to ensure that the support 30 does not wobble when the user sits on the seat body 11, thus improving the stability of the support 30. The armrests 50 are positioned above the support 30 and provide support for the user's arms.

[0023] Specifically, the swing part 40 is disposed between the seat mounting frame 12 and the support part 30. The lower end of the swing part 40 is hinged to the seat mounting frame 12, and the upper end of the swing part 40 is hinged to the support part 30. When the user sits on the seat body 11 and moves, the seat part 10 and the swing part 40 swing together relative to the support part 30.

[0024] It should be noted that in existing rocking chair frames where the armrest 50 is mounted above the support 30, the upper end of the swing part 40 is typically hinged to the lower part of the armrest 50. When the seat 10 and the swing part 40 swing together relative to the support 30, a portion of the swing part 40 will swing in the area between the armrest 50 and the seat body 11. This can cause the user's clothes or flesh to be caught in the gap between the swing part 40 and the armrest 50, or in the gap between the swing part 40 and the support 30.

[0025] In this application, since the hinge point between the swing part 40 and the support part 30 is located below the seat body 11, that is, on the seat mounting bracket 12 located below the seat body 11, when the user sits on the seat body 11 and rocks, the swing part 40 swings below the seat body 11, rather than in the area between the armrest part 50 and the seat body 11. Therefore, the user's clothes or flesh will not be pinched by the swing part 40 and feel pain when it swings, thus improving the user's comfort when lying on the rocking chair, especially the comfort of users who are fat or have a large body size.

[0026] Furthermore, the support portion 30 includes a front support leg 31, a rear support leg 32, and a support connector 33 connecting the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32. The support connector 33 is connected to the top ends of the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32, and the armrest portion 50 is mounted above the support portion 30 via the support connector 33.

[0027] Specifically, the swinging part 40 includes a first rocker arm 41 and a second rocker arm 42. One end of the first rocker arm 41 is hinged to the front support leg 31, and the other end of the first rocker arm 41 is hinged to the front hinge section 121 of the seat mounting bracket 12; one end of the second rocker arm 42 is hinged to the rear support leg 32, and the other end of the second rocker arm 42 is hinged to the rear hinge section 122 of the seat mounting bracket 12.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 42, together with the support part 30 and the seat mounting bracket 12, form a four-bar linkage structure with two rockers. The hinge point between the first rocker arm 41 and the front support leg 31 is located on the front support leg 31, and the hinge point between the second rocker arm 42 and the rear support leg 32 is located on the rear support leg 32. That is to say, the two hinge points between the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 42 and the support part 30 are fixed. When the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 42 swing relative to the support part 30, they drive the seat mounting bracket 12, which is hinged to them, to swing together, thereby realizing the swing of the seat body 11 and the backrest 20 set on the seat body 11.

[0029] For example, the seat mounting bracket 12 can be two protruding plates or rods located below the seat body 11. The front hinge section 121 is located below the seat body 11 near the front end and is used as a hinged plate or rod to the first rocker arm 41. The rear hinge section 122 is located below the seat body 11 near the rear end and is used as a hinged plate or rod to the second rocker arm 42. One end of the front hinge section 121 and the rear hinge section 122 are connected to the seat body 11, and the other end extends away from the seat body 11, that is, downwards from the seat body 11, so that the hinge point between the seat mounting bracket 12 and the swing part 40 is located below the seat body 11 and at a certain distance from the seat body 11. The ends of the front hinge section 121 and the rear hinge section 122 that are away from the seat body 11 may or may not be connected.

[0030] Preferably, a connecting section 123 is provided between the front hinge section 121 and the rear hinge section 122. It can be understood that the connecting section 123 is equivalent to a crossbeam or reinforcing structure connecting the front hinge section 121 and the rear hinge section 122, which can improve the overall structural strength of the seat mounting frame 12 and avoid problems such as twisting and deformation of the front hinge section 121 and the rear hinge section 122.

[0031] Preferably, both the front hinge section 121 and the rear hinge section 122 are provided with bending structures to further improve the structural strength of the front hinge section 121 and the rear hinge section 122 and increase the service life of the rocking chair frame. For example, the bend of the bending structure can be an obtuse angle or a rounded transition.

[0032] Preferably, the straight-line distance between the front hinge section 121 and the seat body 11 is greater than the straight-line distance between the rear hinge section 122 and the seat body 11, so that when the seat part 10 is installed on the support part 30, the front end of the seat body 11 is higher than the rear end, thereby further improving the comfort of the user sitting on the rocking chair.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, the seat mounting bracket 12 is an integrally formed round or square tube disposed below the seat body 11. The shape of the seat mounting bracket 12 can be half an ellipse, U-shaped, or half a regular octagon, and there is no limitation here.

[0034] Furthermore, each of the front hinge segment 121 and the rear hinge segment 122 is provided with a first mounting ear 13, and the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32 are provided with a second mounting ear 34. The first rocker arm 41 is hinged to the front hinge segment 121 through the first mounting ear 13 and to the front support leg 31 through the second mounting ear 34; the second rocker arm 42 is hinged to the rear hinge segment 122 through the first mounting ear 13 and to the rear support leg 32 through the second mounting ear 34. For example, the first mounting ear 13 is installed on the side of the seat mounting bracket 12 away from the seat body 11, and the two second mounting ears 34 are symmetrically installed on the inner sides of the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32.

[0035] Understandably, compared to drilling holes directly on the tubular front support leg 31 and rear support leg 32, setting hinge holes on the second mounting ear 34 is more convenient for both initial hole preparation and subsequent assembly. Similarly, compared to drilling holes directly on the tubular seat mounting bracket 12, setting hinge holes on the first mounting ear 13 is more convenient for both initial hole preparation and subsequent assembly.

[0036] Furthermore, the front support leg 31 is hinged to the front end of the support connector 33, and the rear support leg 32 is hinged to the rear end of the support connector 33, forming a foldable support part 30. During transportation or storage, or when the rocking chair is not in use, the support part 30 can be folded and stored, reducing the space occupied by the rocking chair frame.

[0037] Furthermore, a support beam 35 is provided between the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32. The support beam 35 can improve the support stability and structural strength of the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32. Similarly, the support beam 35 is also a foldable structure.

[0038] Specifically, the support beam 35 includes a first support beam 351, a second support beam 352, and a beam hinge positioning member 353. One end of the first support beam 351 is hinged to the front support leg 31, and the other end is hinged to the beam hinge positioning member 353; one end of the second support beam 352 is hinged to the rear support leg 32, and the other end is hinged to the beam hinge positioning member 353. When the support part 30 is in use, the first support beam 351, the second support beam 352, and the beam hinge positioning member 353 form a straight support beam 35, providing support to the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32, enhancing the support stability of the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32; the first support beam 351 and the second support beam 352 can be flipped in a relatively close direction, allowing the first support beam 351 and the second support beam 352 to be folded and stored away.

[0039] Specifically, the top of the crossbeam hinge positioning member 353 is provided with a crossbeam positioning plate to limit the upward rotation angle of the first support crossbeam 351 and the second support crossbeam 352. When the first support crossbeam 351 and the second support crossbeam 352 are rotated into place, the first support crossbeam 351, the second support crossbeam 352 and the crossbeam hinge positioning member 353 form a straight support crossbeam 35. The lower part of the crossbeam hinge positioning member 353 is provided with an opening so that when the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32 are folded and stored, the first support crossbeam 351 and the second support crossbeam 352 can be rotated downward and folded together with the front support leg 31 and the rear support leg 32. For example, the cross-section of the crossbeam hinge positioning member 353 is a U-shaped structure with the opening facing downward.

[0040] Furthermore, a first reinforcing rib 361 is provided between the first supporting beam 351 and the front supporting leg 31, and a second reinforcing rib 362 is provided between the second supporting beam 352 and the rear supporting leg 32. The first reinforcing rib 361 is obliquely connected between the first supporting beam 351 and the front supporting leg 31, and the second reinforcing rib 362 is obliquely connected between the second supporting beam 352 and the rear supporting leg 32, forming two triangular reinforcing structures, thereby further improving the support stability of the support part 30.

[0041] Furthermore, since the supporting beam 35 is a foldable structure, both the first reinforcing rib 361 and the second reinforcing rib 362 are detachable. For example, one end of the first reinforcing rib 361 is hinged to the front supporting leg 31, and the other end is provided with a positioning hook. The first supporting beam 351 is provided with a positioning pin corresponding to the positioning hook. When the support part 30 is in use, the positioning pin is located inside the positioning hook, fixing the position of the first reinforcing rib 361. By releasing the engagement of the positioning hook and the positioning pin, the triangular reinforcing structure formed by the first reinforcing rib 361 can be removed, and the supporting beam 35 can be folded up. Of course, a positioning pin can also be provided on the front supporting leg 31, with the first reinforcing rib 361 hinged to the first supporting beam 351; this is not a limitation. Similarly, the second reinforcing rib 362 has the same structure as the first reinforcing rib 361, and will not be described further here.

[0042] Furthermore, the armrest portion 50 includes an armrest mounting base 51 and an armrest body 52. ​​The armrest body 52 is adjustablely positioned on the armrest mounting base 51, allowing the user to adjust its position according to their needs when sitting on the seat portion 10 and rocking back. For example, the armrest body 52 may be composed of multiple segments, with the rear end of the armrest body 52 extending when the user sits on the seat portion 10 and rocks back.

[0043] Preferably, the handrail body 52 is slidably mounted on the handrail mounting base 51. For example, the handrail mounting base 51 is a tubular structure with openings at both ends and a sliding channel inside, allowing the handrail body 52 to slide within the sliding channel, thereby adjusting the position of the handrail body 52 and extending it forward and backward.

[0044] Furthermore, the seat body 11 is provided with a first hinge seat 14 and a first positioning member 15. The backrest 20 is rotatably mounted at the rear end of the seat body 11 via the first hinge seat 14. When the backrest 20 is rotatably mounted, the first positioning member 15 can prevent the backrest 20 from rotating. In one specific embodiment, the backrest 20 can be rotatably folded and stored in the direction closer to the seat body 11. When the rocking chair needs to be used, the backrest 20 can be rotatably folded away from the seat body 11 until the backrest 20 abuts against the first positioning member 15 to support the user's back.

[0045] Furthermore, this application provides a rocking chair that uses any of the rocking chair frames described above as its frame and achieves the same effect. To avoid repetition, it will not be described again here.
