It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses an outdoor chair with a folding structure, including a seat cushion 1 and two armrests 2. Bearings 3 are provided on opposite sides of each armrest 2, and a rotating rod 4 is connected to the opposite side of each bearing 3. A backrest 5 is provided between the opposite sides of each rotating rod 4. Two storage slots 6 are provided on the top of the backrest 5. A first sliding groove 7 is provided on both sides of the interior of each storage slot 6. A first slider 8 is slidably connected to one side of each of the four first sliding grooves 7. Two extension rods 9 are connected to one side of each of the four first sliding grooves 7 via the four first sliders 8. The top of each extension rod 9... Each extension rod 9 is provided with a headrest plate 10, and a fixing component 11 is provided between the opposite sides of each extension rod 9. Two bottom brackets 12 are hinged to one side of each of the two armrest plates 2. An insertion port 13 is provided on one side of each of the two bottom brackets 12. A round plate 14 is provided on the top of the seat plate 1 near both sides. A round groove 15 is provided on the opposite side of each extension rod 9 near the bottom. A plug 16 is inserted into the inside of each round groove 15. Two placement slots 17 are provided on one side of each extension rod 9. The opposite sides of the inside of the two bottom brackets 12 are hinged to the two sides of the seat plate 1.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the fixing component 11 includes two telescopic grooves 111, which are located on opposite sides of the two extension rods 9. Each telescopic groove 111 has two secondary sliding grooves 112 on both sides inside. Each of the eight secondary sliding grooves 112 has a secondary slider 113 slidably connected to one side. Each of the eight secondary sliding grooves 112 has two stop blocks 114 connected to one side through the eight secondary sliders 113. Each of the two stop blocks 114 has two springs 115 connected to one side. Each of the four springs 115 has one side connected to one side inside the two telescopic grooves 111.
[0033] In this embodiment, the telescopic groove 111 can facilitate the storage of the second slide groove 112 and the second slider 113. The second slide groove 112 and the second slider 113 can allow the stop block 114 to move laterally repeatedly. The stop block 114 can prevent the extension rod 9 from sliding down. The spring 115 can allow the stop block 114 to be stored and pushed out. The elasticity of the spring 115 makes it easy to push and use.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] like Figure 1-5 As shown, each handrail 2 has a first soft pad 18 on its top, and a second soft pad 19 on one side of the headrest 10.

[0037] Working principle:
[0038] When it needs to be pulled out, the extension rod 9 inside the storage slot 6 can be pulled out through the headrest plate 10. The first slide 7 and the first slider 8 can facilitate the linear pulling out of the extension rod 9. During the pulling process, the spring 115 inside the telescopic slot 111 pushes the stop block 114 on the second slide 112 and the second slider 113 through elastic compression. After being pulled to a certain height, without the restriction of the storage slot 6, the elasticity of the spring 115 pushes out the stop block 114, thus preventing the extension rod 9 from sliding down and falling back into storage. When it is necessary to store it, press the stop block 114 back into the telescopic slot 111, and the extension rod 9 will pull down and fall back into the storage slot 6, replacing the integrated backrest panel 5 structure, reducing the space occupied by the protruding height, and making it as convenient as possible to store the folded outdoor chair.
