Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chair technology, specifically relating to a chair with a foldable backrest. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, their requirements for the quality and functionality of furniture are also increasing. Folding chairs are favored by consumers because of their portability, small space occupation, and convenient storage. In the existing folding chairs, most of them use two hinge rods that cross each other on both sides of the backrest to fold and close by squeezing the sides of the backrest. Their structures are all the same, and the backrest can only be folded horizontally without reducing the height. In addition, the folding parts are relatively large, which affects the aesthetics of the chair.
[0003] A chair with a folding backrest, disclosed in announcement number CN208550555U, includes a folding backrest unit comprising a back support, a back frame, and a snap-fit folding mechanism. The back support connects the back frame and the seat cushion, and the back frame is rotatably connected to the back support and can fold forward along the back support. The snap-fit folding mechanism is located at the lower rear end of the back frame and connects to the back support. This chair with a folding backrest has a pre-installed snap-fit mechanism, which can be unlocked during transport to fold the backrest close to the seat, saving space and increasing packing capacity. During normal use, the user simply rotates the backrest in the opposite direction to automatically lock the snap-fit mechanism, unfolding the chair backrest – very convenient. However, the snap-fit folding mechanism still occupies a relatively large volume, and most of it is exposed, affecting the overall aesthetics of the chair. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model aims to provide a chair with a foldable backrest, which is convenient to use. The backrest can be folded to reduce the height of the chair, resulting in high space utilization.

[0017] Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a chair with a foldable backrest, including a backrest 1, a seat 2, and armrests 3 located on both sides of the seat 2. The backrest 1 is hinged to the seat 2 or the armrests 3, so that the backrest 1 can swing towards the seat 2 to achieve folding. It also includes a locking assembly 4, which includes a pin part 41 and an unlocking part 42. A locking ring 11 is provided at the rear of the backrest 1. The end of the pin part 41 movably passes through the locking ring 11 to form a limiting lock. The unlocking part 42 includes a travel groove 421. The unlocking part 42 can drive the pin part 41 to move horizontally or vertically along the travel groove 421 and disengage from the locking ring 11, so that the pin part 41 and the locking ring 11 are released from the limiting lock.
[0018] In conjunction with the above, in this embodiment, the armrest 3 also includes a support leg, an armrest body, and a connecting rod. The seat 2 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod of the armrests 3 on both sides. The rear of the seat 2 extends upward and is hinged to the lower part of the backrest 1. In other embodiments, the seat 2 can also be fixedly installed to the inside of the support leg, and the backrest 1 can also be hinged to the inside of the support leg.
[0019] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 31 is provided between the handrails 3 on both sides. The connecting rod 31 and the handrails 3 on both sides are integrally formed. In other embodiments, they can also be integrally formed. The connecting rod 31 is provided with a mounting cavity 311 and a locking ring groove 312. The locking ring groove 312 is connected to the mounting cavity 311. The locking ring 11 enters and exits the mounting cavity 311 through the locking ring groove 312. The locking component 4 is located in the mounting cavity 311.
[0020] In this embodiment, the pin 41 is located above the unlocking part 42. The pin 41 moves laterally in the horizontal direction, and the unlocking part 42 moves longitudinally in the vertical direction. The locking ring 11 includes two locking rods and a receiving rod for connecting the locking rods. The two locking rods are arranged vertically. In other embodiments, the orientation of each component of the locking assembly 4 can be adjusted accordingly. For example, the pin 41 can be set to move longitudinally, the unlocking part 42 can be set to move horizontally, and the two locking rods can be arranged horizontally. That is, the pin 41 forms or releases the limiting lock with the locking ring 11 through longitudinal movement. For the convenience of further explanation of the structure of this utility model, the following orientation relationship is attached. Figures 1 to 6 The positional relationships shown are the standard; in actual use, the positional relationships shown on site shall prevail.
[0021] In conjunction with the above, the pin part 41 includes a locking part for engaging with the locking ring 11 for limiting and locking, and a pin rod body. In this embodiment, the locking part is fan-shaped.

[0022] In conjunction with the above, the latch part 41 includes a cavity 411, which includes a beveled portion 412. The beveled portion 412 is inclined upward along the direction of the latch part 411. The unlocking part 42 also includes a connecting shaft 422, which passes through the cavity 411. When the unlocking part 42 moves, it drives the connecting shaft 422 to move, causing the connecting shaft 422 to abut against the beveled portion 412, thereby moving the latch part 41. Specifically, pushing the moving part 42 upward causes the connecting shaft 422 to move upward and abut against the beveled portion 412. Since the connecting shaft 422 does not move along the beveled portion 412 but continues to move upward, the beveled portion 412 moves in the direction of relative extension of the latch part 41, thereby releasing the latch part 41 from the locking ring 11. At this time, the backrest 1 can be swung, causing the locking ring 11 to leave along the locking ring groove 312, thus realizing the folding of the backrest 1.
[0023] In conjunction with the above, the locking assembly 4 also includes a reset member 43. The reset member 43 is installed in cooperation with the pin part 41 and the unlocking part 42. Preferably, in this embodiment, there are two reset members 43. The reset members 43 are springs. The rear part of the pin part 41 and the bottom inner side of the unlocking part 42 are provided with bosses. One end of the reset member 43 is installed in cooperation with the bosses so that when the backrest 1 is folded, the pin part 41 and the unlocking part 42 are reset.
[0024] In conjunction with the above, it also includes a mounting sleeve 5, a locking assembly 4 installed inside the mounting sleeve 5, the mounting sleeve 5 being located inside the mounting cavity 311, and the mounting sleeve 5 being fixedly installed with the connecting rod 31.
[0025] In conjunction with the above installation structure, the mounting sleeve 5 includes a sliding groove 51 and a sliding part 52. The sliding groove 51 is installed in conjunction with the pin part 41, and the pin part 41 slides along the sliding groove 51. The sliding part 52 is installed in conjunction with the unlocking part 42, and the sliding part 52 slides along the travel groove 421, providing guidance for the movement of the pin part 41 and the unlocking part 42, making the movement of the pin part 41 and the unlocking part 42 more stable and smooth.
[0026] This utility model is easy to use. The backrest can be folded to reduce the height of the chair, which makes high space utilization. The locking structure used to control the folding is hidden in the chair frame and is small in size, so it does not affect the aesthetics of the chair. It is easy to operate. Just press the unlocking part to complete the folding operation of the backrest.
[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the utility model.
