Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hinged folding frame, and more particularly to a horizontal hinged folding device. Background Technology

[0002] 1. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN205494193U discloses an X-shaped cross-guide folding mechanism for wheelchairs and a wheelchair using the same. The mechanism includes X-shaped cross rods, the lower ends of which are hinged to the side frames of the wheelchair. The upper ends of the X-shaped cross rods are connected to seat support tubes. The two ends of the seat support tubes are respectively mounted on the corresponding side frames via sliders. The seat support tubes and sliders are movably connected. Folding and unfolding of the wheelchair can be achieved by sliding the seat support tubes at the upper ends of the X-shaped cross rods with the side frames, eliminating the need for brake support tubes and the brackets and cross rods mounted on them.

[0003] The X-shaped crossbars disclosed above tilt left and right to form support when unfolded, opening and fixing the left and right sides of the wheelchair frame. When the wheelchair is folded, the X-shaped crossbars close and become vertical. This X-shaped crossbar structure occupies a lot of longitudinal space and is too tall when folded. When unfolded, the space under the wheelchair seat is not spacious enough. When unfolded, there is no lateral support for the wheelchair seat.

[0004] 2. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220938335U discloses a seat hinge frame for a wheelchair, including an X-shaped cross hinge frame, a left-side connecting rod for the soft pad, a right-side connecting rod for the soft pad, and a seat soft pad; the X-shaped cross hinge frame can be hingedly folded and unfolded; the seat soft pad folds with the folding of the X-shaped cross hinge frame; the seat soft pad unfolds with the unfolding of the X-shaped cross hinge frame; the X-shaped cross hinge frame includes a left tilting rod, a right tilting rod, and a hinge shaft; the left and right sides of the seat soft pad are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding left-side connecting rod and right-side connecting rod; this seat hinge frame is suitable for use in detachable and assemblable left-right hinged folding wheelchairs; The left tilting rod includes a left tilting lower section and a left tilting upper section. The top of the left tilting upper section is fixedly connected to the rear section of the connecting rod on the right side of the pad. The left tilting lower section and the left tilting upper section are detachably connected. The right tilting rod includes a right tilting lower section and a right tilting upper section. The top of the right tilting upper section is fixedly connected to the rear section of the connecting rod on the left side of the pad. The right tilting lower section and the right tilting upper section are detachably connected. A hinge shaft runs through the upper section of the left tilting lower section and the upper section of the right tilting lower section, forming an X-shaped hinge connection between them. Thus, the left tilting rod and the right tilting rod form an X-shaped cross hinge frame through the hinge shaft.

[0005] The aforementioned X-shaped cross-hinged frame, when unfolded, also tilts left and right to form support, opening and fixing the left and right sides of the wheelchair frame. When the wheelchair is folded, the X-shaped cross-hinged frame closes, and the X-shaped cross-hinged frame becomes vertical. This X-shaped cross-hinged frame structure occupies a lot of longitudinal space and is too tall when folded; when unfolded, the space under the wheelchair seat is not spacious enough; and when unfolded, there is no lateral support for the wheelchair seat.
