The locking mechanism further includes an unlocking key 31 mounted on the putter 1. When the unlocking key 31 is pressed, the locking pin 28 can be separated from the first locking groove 29 or the second locking groove 30. Specifically, for example, a towing rope is provided between the unlocking key 31 and the slider 27 or the locking pin 28, and an elastic device is provided between the slider 27 or the locking pin 28 and the base 16 for inserting and joining the locking pin 28 into the first locking groove 29 or the second locking groove 30.

[0037] In order to more reliably lock the stroller frame 100 in the unfolded state, a slider 27 and a lock pin 28 (not shown) may be provided between the base 16 and the first connecting seat 17, and a first lock groove 29 and a second lock groove 30 may be symmetrically provided in sequence in the circumferential direction of the first connecting seat 17.

[0038] The operating principle of this stroller is as follows: 1 to 3, the stroller is in an unfolded state, and the putter 1 is in a forward use state. The putter 1, the front bracket 2, and the rear bracket 3 are unfolded opposite each other. The putter 1 is arranged to extend diagonally from bottom to top in the front-to-back direction of the stroller. The second rotating shaft 7 is located at the first end M of the first limit slot 14 and the second end N of the second limit slot 15, respectively, and the three are abutted. The first pin roll 8 is located at the intersection of the first chute 10 and the first retraction groove 12, i.e., the first pin roll 8 is located at the first intersection P, and the second pin roll 9 is located in the second retraction groove 13. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2 and 22 to 23, the first retraction groove 12 and the second retraction groove 13 are at least partially overlapping, and the centers of the base 16, the first connecting sheet 17, and the second connecting sheet 18 are roughly overlapping.

[0039] When the stroller needs to be folded, the locking mechanism is unlocked, the putter 1 is pushed down, and the putter 1 is driven to rotate around the second rotating shaft 7 and approach the rear bracket 3. Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, during the rotation, the second rotating shaft 7 slides through the first limit slot 14 along the length of the first limit slot 14, and the second rotating shaft 7 always abuts against the second end N of the second limit slot 15. The first pin roll 8 slides downward from the position of the first intersection P into the first chute 10 and simultaneously abuts against the side wall of the first chute 10. As a result of these relative rotations, the first connecting sheet 17 is driven to rotate relative to the second connecting sheet 18 around the first rotating shaft 6, i.e., the front bracket 2 is driven to rotate and approach the rear bracket 3 around the first rotating shaft 6, causing the second pin roll 9 to slide in the second retraction groove 13 along the length of the second retraction groove 13, i.e., when the putter 1 rotates and approaches the rear bracket 3, the front bracket 2 is interlocked with the rear bracket 3 to rotate and approach, and finally the folding is completed. After folding is complete, referring to Figures 7 to 9, the stroller is in the first folded state, with the putter 1 and rear bracket 3 located at the rear of the front bracket 2 in the front-rear direction, and the putter 1 located behind the rear bracket 3. As shown in Figures 7 to 8 and 24 to 25, the center of the base 16 and the center of the second connecting seat 18 are roughly overlapping, and the center of the first connecting seat 17 is not aligned with the centers of the base 16 and the second connecting seat 18. To unfold, the opposite operation is performed, i.e., the putter 1 is rotated upward relative to the rear bracket 3 to unfold, and the front bracket 2 is rotated relative to the rear bracket 3 to unfold until the stroller is fully unfolded, after which the locking mechanism is locked and unfolding is completed. Operation is simple and easy.

[0040] When the stroller is in an unfolded state and the putter 1 needs to be changed in direction, for example, to change the putter 1 from forward use to reverse use, the locking mechanism is unlocked and the putter 1 is rotated around the second rotating shaft 7 in a direction approaching the front bracket 2 of the stroller. During the rotation, the second rotating shaft 7 is always positioned at the first end M of the first limit slot 14 and the second end N of the second limit slot 15, and the three are abutted against each other, and the first pin roll 8 is positioned in the first retraction groove. 12, and the second pin roll 9 rotates through the second evacuation groove 13 to the intersection of the second evacuation groove 13 and the second chute 11; that is, the second pin roll 9 rotates to the position of the second intersection Q, locks the locking mechanism, and the direction change of the putter 1 is completed. In this state, as shown in Figures 10 to 12 and Figures 34 to 35, the first evacuation groove 12 and the second evacuation groove 13 still at least partially overlap, and the centers of the base 16, the first connecting sheet 17, and the second connecting sheet 18 are roughly overlapped.

[0041] When the stroller needs to be folded while the putter 1 is used in the reverse direction, the locking mechanism is unlocked, the putter 1 is pushed down, and the putter 1 is driven to rotate around the second rotating shaft 7 and approach the front bracket 2. Referring to Figures 13 to 15, during the rotation, the second rotating shaft 7 slides through the second limit slot 15 along the length direction of the second limit slot 15, and the second rotating shaft 7 always abuts against the first end M of the first limit slot 14. The second pin roll 9 slides downward from the position of the second intersection Q into the second chute 11. Then, the second connecting sheet 18 comes into contact with the side wall of the second chute 11 and rotates relative to it, driving the second connecting sheet 18 to rotate relative to the first connecting sheet 17 around the first rotating shaft 6, i.e., the rear bracket 3 rotates and approaches the front bracket 2 around the first rotating shaft 6, and the first pin roll 8 slides in the first retraction groove 12 along the length of the first retraction groove 12, i.e., the putter 1 rotates and approaches the front bracket 2, which in turn causes the rear bracket 3 to rotate and approach the front bracket 2, and finally completes folding. 16 to 18, after folding is complete, the stroller is in the second folding state, with the putter 1 and front bracket 2 located in front of the rear bracket 3 in the fore-and-aft direction, and the putter 1 located in front of the front bracket 2. As shown in FIGS. 16 to 17 and 36 to 37, the center of the base 16 and the center of the first connecting sheet 17 are roughly overlapping, and the center of the second connecting sheet 18 is not aligned with the centers of the base 16 and the first connecting sheet 17. To unfold, the opposite operation is performed, that is, the putter 1 is rotated upward relative to the front bracket 2 to unfold, and the rear bracket 3 is rotated relative to the front bracket 2 to unfold until the stroller is fully unfolded, after which the locking mechanism is locked and unfolding is completed. Operation is simple and easy.
