[0026] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the frame folding mechanism 101 includes an interlocking component 3. The frame 1 includes a handle 11, a front leg 12, and a rear leg 13. The handle 11, the front leg 12, and the rear leg 13 are pivotally connected to form a first rotation center D1. The front leg 12 and the seat 2 are pivotally connected to form a second rotation center D2. One end of the interlocking component 3 is pivotally connected to the seat 2 to form a third rotation center D3. The other end of the interlocking component 3 is pivotally connected to the handle 11 to form a fourth rotation center D4. The first, second, third, and fourth rotation centers are distributed at intervals from each other. By rotating and folding the frame 1, the interlocking component 3 rotates and folds the seat 2. As shown in Figure 3, D1 indicates a first center of rotation formed by the coaxial pivot connection of the handle 11, front leg 12, and rear leg 13; D2 indicates a second center of rotation generated by the pivot connection of the front leg 12 and the seat 2; D3 indicates a third center of rotation formed by the pivot connection of the interlocking component 3 and the seat 2; and D4 indicates a fourth center of rotation formed by the pivot connection of the interlocking component 3 and the handle 11. The handle 11, front leg 12, seat 2, and interlocking component 3 constitute a planar linkage mechanism, so that the handle 11 and front leg 12 are driven to rotate and fold in the direction of the rear leg 13, thereby rotating and folding the seat 2 in conjunction. Thus, when the frame 1 is rotated and folded, the seat 2 is folded in conjunction. Similarly, by rotating and folding the seat 2, the frame 1 can be folded in conjunction, and the folding method is not limited to this. Specifically, a handle cover 111 is provided at one end of the handle 11, a front leg cover 121 is provided at one end of the front leg 12, and a rear leg cover 131 is provided at one end of the rear leg 13.

Specifically, the seat folding drive component 21 includes a first folding drive unit 211 and a second folding drive unit 212 formed by bending and extending from one end of the first folding drive unit 211. The seat body 22 is connected to the first folding drive unit 211 and the second folding drive unit 212, and the bent portion between the first folding drive unit 211 and the second folding drive unit 212 is pivotally connected to the front leg 12. Furthermore, the seat body 22 includes a front seat tube section 221 and a rear seat tube section 222. The front seat tube section 221 is connected to the first folding drive unit 211 and the second folding drive unit 212, respectively, and the front seat tube section 221 is pivotally connected to the rear seat tube section 222. When the handle 11 and front legs 12 are rotated toward the rear legs 13 to fold, the seat folding drive component 21 allows the front seat tube section 221 of the seat body 22 to rotate toward the rear seat tube section 222 to fold. Specifically, the pivot connection axis between the seat folding drive component 21 and the interlocking component 3 is the same as the pivot connection axis between the rear seat tube section 222 and the front seat tube section 221; that is, the center of rotation between the rear seat tube section 222 and the front seat tube section 221 is the third center of rotation. Furthermore, the rear seat tube section 222 is pivotally connected to the rear legs 13 to form a fifth center of rotation, and the fifth center of rotation and the first center of rotation are distributed with a gap between them, and as shown in Figure 3, D5 indicates the center of rotation between the rear seat tube section 222 and the rear legs 13. When the handle 11 and front legs 12 are rotated toward the rear legs 13 to fold the seat, the operation of the seat folding drive component 21 and the interlocking component 3 causes the front seat tube section 221 and the rear seat tube section 222 of the seat body 22 to rotate toward each other and fold, thereby folding the entire seat section 2.

By operating the other end of the steel wire, the first traction part 82 and the second traction part 86 are pulled, releasing the frame 1 by the frame lock mechanism 102 and releasing the backrest part 4 by the backrest lock release mechanism 103. The front legs 12 and handle 11 of the frame 1 can be rotated toward the rear legs 13 to fold it, the seat part 2 can be rotated in conjunction to fold it, and the backrest part 4 can be operated to rotate and fold it, thereby folding the entire stroller 100. Furthermore, the lock release drive mechanism 8 further includes a second elastic reset part 87 for resetting the backrest lock part 9, and the second elastic reset part 87 is provided between the backrest lock part 9 and the frame 1. Specifically, the second elastic reset component 87 is provided between the fixing portion 93 and the positioning component 23 of the backrest lock component 9. When the second traction component 86 is pulled, the second traction component 86 pulls the backrest folding drive component 85, which pushes the backrest lock component 9 to move. This causes the engaging portion 92 of the backrest lock component 9 to move and disengage from the second internal gear 421 of the backrest fixing component 42, compressing the second elastic reset component 87. When the second traction component 86 is released, the engaging portion 92 of the backrest lock component 9 is reset by the action of the second elastic reset component 87, and the engaging portion 92 of the backrest lock component 9 re-engages with the second internal gear 421, locking the backrest 4.

[0039] Referring to Figures 1 to 13, the principle of operation of the stroller 100 in this invention is as follows.

[0040] When the stroller 100 needs to be folded, the lock release operating mechanism 83 pulls the first towing part 82, which in turn pulls the lock release drive part 81 to slide along the slide groove 116, which in turn drives the slide part 6 to slide using the first inclined surface 811, and the sliding of the slide part 6 causes the frame deployment lock part 7 to disengage from the handle lock hole 114 and the front leg lock hole 123, releasing the frame 1, which in turn allows the handle 11 and front legs 12 to rotate toward the rear legs 13 and be folded. When the handle 11 and front legs 12 can be rotated toward the rear legs 13 and folded, the seat folding drive part 21 and the interlocking part 3 operate to rotate the front seat tube section 221 and the rear seat tube section 222 of the seat body 22 toward each other and fold them, folding the entire seat section 2. When the lock release mechanism 83 is operated to pull the first traction part 82, the lock release mechanism 83 also pulls the second traction part 86, and the second traction part 86 pulls the backrest folding drive part 85. As a result, the third inclined surface 851 of the backrest folding drive part 85 pushes and moves the fixing part 93 of the backrest lock part 9, and the fixing part 93 of the backrest lock part 9 moves the engaging part 92, causing the engaging part 92 to disengage from the second internal gear 421 of the backrest fixing part 42, releasing the backrest part 4, which can then be rotated and folded. The handle can also be folded by rotating the upper handle part 112 of the handle 11 toward the lower handle part 113. Finally, the entire stroller 100 can be rotated and folded to the state shown in Figure 13.

[0041] As described above, the stroller 100 in the present invention has a frame folding mechanism 101, and the handle 11, front legs 12 and rear legs 13 of the frame folding mechanism 101 are pivotally connected coaxially, the front legs 12 are pivotally connected to the seat 2, and the interlocking part 3 is pivotally connected between the seat 2 and the handle 11, and the handle 11, front legs 12, seat 2 and interlocking part 3 form a planar link mechanism, so that by driving the handle 11 and front legs 12 to rotate in the direction of the rear legs 13 to fold, the seat 2 can be rotated in conjunction and folded, so the stroller 100 in the present invention can fold the frame 1 and the seat 2 in conjunction, is easy and convenient to operate and has a wide range of applications. The stroller 100 in the present invention has a frame lock mechanism 102, which has a handle lock hole 114 on the handle 11 and a front leg lock hole 123 on the front leg 12. By engaging the frame deployment lock component 7 into the handle lock hole 114 and the front leg lock hole 123, the handle 11 and the front leg 12 are locked, preventing the handle 11 and the front leg 12 from rotating toward the rear leg 13 to fold, thus achieving a lock on the frame 1. The lock release drive mechanism 8 drives the slide component 6 and the frame deployment lock component 7 to slide, causing the frame deployment lock component 7 to disengage from the handle lock hole 114 and the front leg lock hole 123, releasing the frame 1, and allowing the handle 11 and the front leg 12 to rotate toward the rear leg 13 to fold. Therefore, the stroller 100 in the present invention can lock and release the frame 1, has a simple structure, and low production costs. The stroller 100 in the present invention has a backrest lock release mechanism 103, and a backrest lock component 9 is provided on the backrest lock release mechanism 103. The backrest lock component 9 engages between the frame 1 and the backrest 4, thereby locking the backrest to the frame 1. A lock release drive mechanism 8 is connected to the backrest lock component 9. By driving the backrest lock component 9 to slide using the lock release drive mechanism 8, the backrest lock component 9 disengages from the backrest 4, releasing the backrest 4, which can then be rotated relative to the frame 1 and folded. The structure is simple and production costs are low.
