Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rocking chair. Background Technology

[0002] Folding chairs, as a type of portable furniture, are widely used in homes, outdoor activities, and offices. Their initial design purpose was to achieve convenient storage and transportation within limited spaces, while meeting the functional needs of temporary or long-term use. However, existing folding chairs still have many shortcomings in structural design and user experience. Traditional folding chairs typically use simple hinge structures to achieve folding functionality. While they can complete basic unfolding and folding operations, they often exhibit insufficient stability in actual use. In a rocking chair, the base needs to be long enough to ensure stability during use and prevent the chair from tipping over. However, when folded, this longer base tends to take up a significant amount of packaging space. Furthermore, in existing folding chair designs, the support legs mostly use telescopic rod structures. This design effectively reduces space occupation when unfolded, but when folded, the telescopic rods are in a straightened state, significantly increasing the overall height of the folding chair and thus increasing the space required for storage. In addition, some structures of existing folding chairs may cause inconvenience to users when unfolded; for example, some parts may press against the user's legs or buttocks, affecting comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model discloses a rocking chair, which aims to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following solution: A rocking chair includes a chair body; it also includes: a support base rod disposed below the body; and an elastic element disposed between the body and the support base rod, wherein the deformation of the elastic element under force drives the body to rock relative to the support base rod; the support base rod is a telescopic rod, wherein when the rocking chair is extended, the rear side of the support base rod is located at the rear end of the body, and when the rocking chair is retracted, the rear side of the support base rod is located at the front end of the rear end of the body.

[0005] In this embodiment of the utility model, the supporting base rod includes a rear rod and a front rod arranged inside and outside the support rod. The rear rod is configured to be able to be fitted inside the front rod and to move back and forth.

[0006] In this embodiment of the utility model, a connecting sleeve is provided on the outer periphery of the rear side of the front rod, and a switch button is provided on the connecting sleeve. The switch button is configured to control the rear rod to move forward or backward.

[0007] In this embodiment of the utility model, the front end of the front rod is provided with a first support pad, and the rear end of the rear rod is provided with a second support pad. The first support pad and the second support pad enable the connecting sleeve and the switch button to be suspended on the ground. The forward and backward movement of the rear rod enables the second support pad to move between the front and rear sides of the rear end of the main body.

[0008] In this embodiment of the utility model, the elastic element includes at least one bent elastic sheet, the first part of the elastic sheet is fixedly connected to the lower part of the body, and the second part of the elastic sheet is fixedly connected to the front side of the front rod.

[0009] In this embodiment of the utility model, the elastic element comprises at least two bent elastic sheets, each elastic sheet being stacked together to form the elastic element. A connecting member is disposed on the front side of the front rod. The first part of the elastic sheet is fixedly connected to the body via a locking member, and the second part of the elastic sheet is fixedly connected to the connecting member via a locking member.

[0010] In this embodiment of the utility model, the main body includes two sets of folding components disposed on its front and rear sides. Each folding component includes: a support foot disposed on both sides of the folding component; a first rod, the lower part of which is configured to connect with the lower part of the support foot, and a guide sleeve disposed on the first rod, the guide sleeve being configured to move along the first rod, and a limiting structure cooperating with the guide sleeve on the first rod; and a second rod, the upper part of which is configured to hinge with the upper part of the support foot, and the lower part of which is configured to hinge with the guide sleeve.

[0011] In this embodiment of the utility model, a fixed sleeve that can form a limiting structure is fixedly configured on the upper end of the first rod. When the rocking chair is in the unfolded state, the guide sleeve can abut against the fixed sleeve. An abutting part extends outward from the fixed sleeve. When the rocking chair is in the unfolded state, the abutting part is configured to abut against the second rod. The abutting part is located below the hinge point between the second rod and the guide sleeve.

[0012] In this embodiment of the invention, a first bending portion is provided at one end of a first rod located in the middle of the rocking chair, and the first bending portions of two first rods located on the front or rear side are hinged together; a second bending portion is provided at one end of a second rod located in the middle of the rocking chair, and the second bending portions of two second rods located on the front or rear side are hinged together.

[0013] In this embodiment of the invention, when the rocking chair is laid flat, a gap is formed between the support leg located on the front side of the main body and the ground. This utility model provides a rocking chair with the following beneficial effects: First, the telescopic support base design solves the problems of insufficient stability in the unfolded state and excessive space occupation in the retracted state of traditional rocking chairs. The telescopic design of the support base allows the rocking chair to have a larger support range in the unfolded state, thereby significantly improving stability, while effectively reducing the space occupied in the retracted state, making it convenient for storage and transportation.

[0014] Secondly, the rocking chair's comfort is enhanced through the rational configuration of its elastic components. These components consist of at least one or more overlapping, curved elastic pieces, allowing for the adaptation to varying elasticity requirements and different rocking needs. The first part of each elastic piece is fixedly connected to the lower part of the main body, while the second part is fixedly connected to the front side of the front rod. A locking mechanism ensures that the deformation of the elastic components under stress stably drives the rocking chair's rocking motion. This design not only improves the rocking chair's smoothness but also enhances user comfort.

[0015] Furthermore, the design of the folding assembly and bending section makes the rocking chair more flexible and easier to operate during unfolding and retraction. The folding assembly includes a support leg, a first rod, and a second rod. The first rod connects to the lower part of the support leg at the bottom and has a guide sleeve at the top. The guide sleeve can move along the first rod and is equipped with a limiting structure to restrict the range of movement of the guide sleeve. The second rod is hinged to the upper part of the support leg and to the guide sleeve at the bottom, forming a stable hinge structure. This design makes the folding chair more flexible and easier to operate during unfolding and retraction.

[0016] Furthermore, the design of the first and second bends significantly reduces the height of the folded rocking chair. Specifically, the hinge point positions of the first and second bends allow the chair to compress its overall height to below the height of the upper part of the second rod during folding by rotating the bends, thus reducing the space required for storage. Finally, the design of the support pads prevents the connecting sleeve and switch button from directly contacting the ground, thus avoiding wear or damage, while ensuring the stability of the rocking chair in both unfolded and retracted states. A first support pad is located at the front end of the front bar, and a second support pad is located at the rear end of the rear bar. These two support pads suspend the connecting sleeve and switch button on the ground, preventing direct contact and ensuring the stability of the rocking chair in both unfolded and retracted states.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments.

[0025] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model provides a rocking chair. The overall structure of the rocking chair includes a main body 1, a supporting base rod 2, an elastic element 5, and two sets of folding components 12. The main body 1 serves as the main load-bearing part of the rocking chair, with the supporting base rod 2 located beneath it to provide stable support and rocking functionality. The supporting base rod 2 adopts a telescopic rod structure, consisting of a rear rod 3 and a front rod 4. The rear rod 3 can be fitted inside the front rod 4 and move in the front-back direction. This design allows the rocking chair to have a large support range when unfolded, thereby improving stability and preventing it from tipping over or overturning when rocking. When retracted, it can be folded back, ensuring that its overall length is within the original thickness (front-back length) of the folded chair body, effectively reducing space occupation and facilitating storage and transportation.

[0026] The specific operating principle of the support base rod 2 is as follows: When the rocking chair is in the unfolded state, the rear rod 3 extends backward, with its rear side located at the rear of the last end of the main body, forming a large support range to ensure that the rocking chair will not tip over during use. When the rocking chair needs to be retracted, the rear rod retracts forward to the front side, so that its rear side is located at the front of the last end of the main body, thereby significantly reducing the overall length of the support base rod 2; a connecting sleeve 8 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rear side of the front rod 4, and a switch button 9 is configured on the connecting sleeve 8. In one embodiment, the front rod and the rear rod are each configured with a corresponding hole, and an elastic plate is configured inside the rear rod. The elastic plate is configured with a protrusion that can extend into the hole. When this protrusion extends into both holes, the support base rod is in the extended state. When it needs to be retracted, the switch button is pressed to make the protrusion exit the hole of the front rod. At this time, the rear rod can move relative to the front rod. The design of the switch button 9 allows the user to easily adjust the position of the support base rod 2 to adapt to different usage needs.

[0027] The elastic element 5 is positioned between the lower part of the main body 1 and the supporting base 2, used to drive the main body to rock relative to the supporting base 2. The elastic element 5 is composed of at least one or more elastic sheets 6 stacked together to form an integral elastic element. Each elastic sheet is a bent sheet with the same obtuse angle. The number of elastic sheets can be selected according to the user's weight or the required rocking amplitude, allowing for customized features to meet different users' rocking requirements. The first part of each elastic sheet 6 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the main body 1, which is a horizontal straight rod, ensuring the first part of the elastic sheet is also horizontal. The second part is fixedly connected to the front side of the front rod 4. The fixed connection is achieved through a locking element 7, which can be a locking bolt, ensuring that the deformation of the elastic element 5 under force can stably drive the rocking chair to rock. A connector 22 is provided on the front side of the front rod. The first part of the elastic sheet is fixedly connected to the body via a locking member, and the second part of the elastic sheet is fixedly connected to the connector 22 via a locking member. The connector can be a triangular component, with one side inclined from front to back and upward. The second part of the elastic sheet is connected to this side. When the user sits on the body 1, the elastic sheet 5 deforms under force. The elastic potential energy stored during the deformation is converted into the rocking kinetic energy of the rocking chair, thereby achieving a stable and comfortable rocking effect. If the elastic sheet is composed of two or more stacked elastic sheets, they can be assembled together by a connecting piece 23 with a concave shape and then fixedly connected to the lower part of the body via a locking member. To further enhance the stability of the rocking chair, a first support pad 10 is installed at the front end of the front rod 4, and a second support pad 11 is installed at the rear end of the rear rod 3. The design of these two support pads allows the connecting sleeve 8 and the switch button 9 to be suspended on the ground, avoiding direct contact with the ground and preventing wear or damage, while also facilitating the pressing of the switch button. Simultaneously, the presence of the support pads also enhances the stability of the rocking chair in both extended and retracted states; specifically, the second support pad is located at the rearmost end of the rear rod. When the rear rod 3 moves back and forth, the second support pad 11 can move between the front and rear sides of the rearmost end of the main body, ensuring that the rocking chair maintains good support performance in different states.

[0028] The folding assembly 12 is an important component of the rocking chair. Each folding assembly 12 includes a support leg 13, a first rod 14, and a second rod 19. The support leg 13 is located on both sides of the folding assembly 12 and supports the entire chair body 1 of the rocking chair. The first rod 14 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the support leg 13 and has a guide sleeve 15 mounted above it, which is rotatably connected to the second rod. The guide sleeve 15 can move along the first rod 14 and is equipped with a limiting structure to restrict the range of movement of the guide sleeve 15. The limiting structure is formed by a fixing sleeve 17, which is fixedly mounted above the first rod 14 and extends outward to form an abutment portion 18. When the rocking chair is in the unfolded state, the guide sleeve 15 abuts against the fixing sleeve 17, and the abutment portion 18 abuts against the second rod 19. The abutment relationship between the two positions ensures the stability of the structure. The second rod 19 is hinged above the support leg 13 and below the guide sleeve 15, forming a stable hinged structure.

[0029] The operating principle of the folding assembly 12 is as follows: When the rocking chair needs to be unfolded, the user pulls apart the first rod 14 and the second rod 19. The guide sleeve 15 moves along the first rod 14 to abut against the fixed sleeve 17. At this time, the abutting part 18 abuts against the second rod 19, ensuring that the folding assembly 12 is in a stable state. When the rocking chair needs to be retracted, the user pushes the first rod 14 and the second rod 19 closer together. The guide sleeve 15 moves in the opposite direction along the first rod 14, disengaging from the abutting position with the fixed sleeve 17, thereby causing the folding assembly 12 to enter the retracted state. One end of the first rod 14 located in the middle of the folding chair is provided with a first bend 20, and the first bends 20 of the two first rods 14 are hinged together; one end (lower end) of the second rod 19 is provided with a second bend 21, and the second bends 21 of the two second rods 19 are hinged together. This design makes the folding chair more flexible and easier to operate during unfolding and retraction, while ensuring that the overall height of the chair surface can be lowered when unfolded. The seat can be positioned above the hinge of the two first bends, both of which are bends, to prevent the seat from drooping down and pressing against the user's buttocks when sitting down.

[0030] When the rocking chair is laid flat, a certain gap 16 is formed between the support leg 13 located on the front side of the main body and the ground. The existence of the gap 16 also provides additional space for the rocking chair during the rocking process, preventing the support leg 13 from interfering with the ground and preventing the rocking from happening. At the same time, the size of the gap is lower than the distance between the straight rod 24 below the main body and the ground.

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model achieves the following technical effects through the above-described specific structure: First, the design of the support base 2 of the telescopic rod structure solves the problems of insufficient stability in the unfolded state and excessive space occupation in the retracted state of traditional rocking chairs. Second, the reasonable configuration of the elastic element 5 improves the comfort of using the rocking chair. Third, the design of the folding component 12 and the bending part makes the rocking chair more compact when unfolded. Finally, the design of the support pad avoids direct contact between the connecting sleeve 8 and the switch button 9 and the ground, preventing wear or damage, while ensuring the stability of the rocking chair in both unfolded and retracted states.
