As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, a baby stroller includes a foldable frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with a locking device 2 for locking same in an unfolded state. The frame 1 is connected with a seat assembly 3 which is configured for a baby to sit when the baby stroller is in the unfolded state and is able to rotate relative to the frame 1 and be closed and folded towards the frame 1 when the baby stroller needs to be folded. The seat assembly 3 is provided with an unlocking part 4 capable of driving the locking device 2 to unlock when the seat assembly 3 is rotated and folded relative to the frame 1. When the baby stroller needs to be folded, the seat assembly 3 is rotated relative to the frame 1 to be closed and folded towards the frame 1. During the rotation of the seat assembly 3, the unlocking part 4 on the seat assembly 3 drives the locking device 2 of the frame 1 to unlock, so as to achieve the unlocking of the frame 1. That is, when the seat assembly 3 is operated to rotate, the frame 1 can be unlocked in linkage, so that the unlocking operation of the whole baby stroller is simple and the baby stroller is folded conveniently and quickly.
As shown in FIGS. 4 to 9, the frame 1 includes a first support leg 11 and a second support leg 12 which have wheels 17 and can rotate relative to each other. A connecting seat 13 is fixedly connected to an upper end of the first support leg 11. The second support leg 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 13 about a first axis A. The connecting seat 13 is further rotatably connected to a push rod assembly 18 which can rotate to unfold or close relative to the first support leg 11 about a second axis B. The push rod assembly 18 and the second support leg 12 are further provided with a traction component 6 capable of pulling the second support leg 12 to rotate and close to the first support leg 11 when the locking device 2 is unlocked and the push rod assembly 18 is rotated and closed to the first support leg 11. The locking device 2 includes a latching position 21 provided at a lower end of the push rod assembly 18 or an upper end of the second support leg 12. The connecting seat 13 is provided therein with a latching part 22 capable of sliding therein and engaging with or disengaging from the latching position 21. The latching part 22 is connected to a protrusion 23 which is exposed on the connecting seat 13 and can be pushed by the unlocking part 4 when the seat assembly 3 is rotated and closed relative to the frame 1. A reset spring 24 is further provided between the latching part 22 and the connecting seat 13 to push the latching part 22 to slide and reset. During the rotation and folding process of the seat assembly 3 relative to the frame in the invention, the unlocking part 4 on the seat assembly will push the protrusion 23 to move, the protrusion 23 will drive the latching part 22 to slide relative to the connecting seat 13, and the latching part 22 will exit from the latching position 21. At this time, the frame 1 will be unlocked. Therefore, during the rotation of the seat assembly 3, the frame 1 is unlocked, and it is no longer necessary to separately operate the frame 1 locking device to unlock, so that the baby stroller is folded conveniently and quickly.
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the traction component 6 includes a traction rod 61, the lower end of which is rotatably connected to the upper end of the second support leg 12 about a third axis C at a position offset from the first axis A. An upper end of the traction rod 61 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the push rod assembly 18 about a fourth axis D at a position offset from the second axis B. Therefore, when the push rod assembly 18 is rotated and close with relative to the first support leg 11, the traction rod 61 pulls the second support leg 12 to be rotated and closed towards the first support leg 11, so that the folding of the frame 1 is achieved, and the traction rod 61 is received inside the connecting seat 13. Thus, the whole baby stroller can be flexibly folded, and has a simple and compact structure.
As shown in FIG. 9, the latching part 22 is provided with a strip-shaped groove 25. The protrusion 23 includes a body 231 which is provided with a protruding block 232 exposed on the connecting seat 13. The body 231 is provided with a pin shaft 233 which can move in the strip-shaped groove 25 and can cooperate with a groove wall of the strip-shaped groove 25 to push the latching part 22 to slide. The pin shaft 233 protrudes into the strip-shaped groove 25. Therefore, when the protrusion 23 is pushed and moved by the unlocking part 4, the latching part 22 is moved by applying a force to the groove wall of the strip-shaped groove 25 by the pin shaft 233. By the movement of the pin shaft 233 in the strip-shaped groove 25, the movement track of the latching part 22 and the movement track of the protrusion 23 may satisfy the normal unlocking of the locking device 2 on the basis of being non-parallel, thereby satisfying the purpose of compactness and flexible folding of the baby stroller.
As shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, an auxiliary device is further provided between the upper end of the second support leg 12 and the connecting seat 13 for assisting in pushing the second support leg 12 to rotate and close to the first support leg 11 when the frame 1 is folded; the auxiliary device includes an arc-shaped hole 81 provided at the upper end of the second support leg 12; a sliding block 82 capable of sliding therein is provided in the connecting seat 13; a pushing shaft 83 protruding into the arc-shaped hole 81 is provided on the sliding block 82; and a compression spring 84 is provided between the sliding block 82 and the connecting seat 13, which is compressed when the baby stroller is in the unfolded state and can push the sliding block 82 and then push the second support leg 12 to rotate via the push shaft 83 after the locking device 2 is unlocked. When the baby stroller is in a unfolded state, the compression spring 84 is in a compressed state. When the locking device 2 is unlocked, the compression spring 84 will extend. The sliding block 82 slides, and the pushing shaft 83 on the sliding block 82 pushes an end of the arc-shaped hole 81, so as to exert an auxiliary force on the rotation of the second support leg 2 relative to the first support leg 11. Thus, the frame 1 is smoothly and flexibly folded.
As shown in FIG. 9, the upper and lower ends of the traction rod 61 are respectively provided with a protruding shaft 62; and the connecting seat 13 is provided with a guide groove 14 for the protruding shaft 62 to pass through and control the movement track of the traction rod 61, so that the frame can be flexibly and smoothly folded. The lower end of the push rod assembly 18 is of a plate-shaped structure; the upper end of the second support leg 12 is of a plate-shaped structure; the connecting seat 13 is provided with an upper slot 15 for inserting the lower end of the push rod assembly 18; and the connecting seat 13 is further provided with a lower slot 16 for inserting the upper end of the second support leg 12.

The provision of the avoiding part 43 enables the baby stroller to be unfolded without the seat assembly 3 rotating relative to the frame 1 being interfered by the protrusion 23, ensuring smooth unfolding. When the baby stroller is folded, during the rotation of the seat assembly 3, the lower side 42 of the side projection 41 presses the upper side of the protrusion 23 downwards, so that the protrusion 23 moves downwards, the latching part 22 is disengaged from the latching position 21, and the frame 1 is unlocked.
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the side projection 41 is slidably connected to the seat assembly 3 so as to be able to move laterally with respect to the seat assembly 3; the avoiding part 43 is provided with a slope 43a on the side projection 41 and able to abut against and cooperate with a side end of the protrusion 23; and a reset element 44 is provided between the side projection 41 and the seat assembly 3 and able to be laterally compressed by the side projection 41 when the slope 43a abuts against the side of the protrusion 23. When the seat assembly 3 is rotated and unfolded relative to the frame 1, during the rotation of the seat assembly 3, the slope 43a contacts the side surface of the protrusion 23 and is pressed by the side surface of the protrusion 23, so that the side projection 41 slides with respect to the seat assembly 3. When the unlocking part 4 is disengaged from the protrusion 23, the reset element 44 pushes the side projection 41 to reset, so that the side projection 41 returns to a position where the latching part 22 can slide and be unlocked by pressing the protrusion 23 downwards again.
As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the push rod assembly 18 includes a lower push rod 181 connected to the connecting seat 13; the lower push rod 181 is provided with a hand push rod 182 capable of sliding and being telescopic relative thereto; and the center of gravity of the push rod assembly 18 is set in a position where the push rod assembly 18 can automatically rotate relative to the first support leg 11 by means of the gravity of the push rod assembly 18 when the locking device 2 is unlocked.
When the locking device 2 is unlocked, the push rod assembly 18 can be automatically rotated with respect to the first support leg 11, and the second support leg 12 can be further rotated with respect to the first support leg 11 by pulling the traction rod 61. Therefore, as long as the locking device 2 is driven to be unlocked during the rotation of the seat assembly 3, the frame 1 can be automatically folded without applying an external force to the frame 1, so that the baby stroller is folded conveniently and quickly. In addition, when the baby stroller is folded, the wheels 17 and the upper end of the push rod assembly 18 may be supported on the ground to keep the folded stroller standing for storage.
