DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The embodiments of the application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, are only used to explain the application, and cannot be construed as limiting the application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the application include all changes, modifications and equivalents falling within the spirit and protect scope of the appended claims.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the application provides a folding support comprising: a linkage mechanism 1, the linkage mechanism 1 comprising two linkage rods 11, the two linkage rods 11 crossing each other and being hinged via a first hinge shaft, the two linkage rods 11 intersecting at a middle point thereof; two support mechanisms 2, which are mirror-disposed on two sides of the linkage mechanism 1, the support mechanism 2 comprising an upright rod 21, a sliding sleeve 22, a connector 23 and two diagonal bracing mechanisms 24; the sliding sleeves 22 being slidably sleeved on the upright rods 21, an upper end of one linkage rod 11 being hinged with the sliding sleeve 22 via a second hinge shaft, and a lower end of the other linkage rod 11 being hinged with a lower end of the upright rod 21 via a third hinge shaft; the two diagonal bracing mechanisms 24 being mirror-disposed with respect to the upright rod 21, the diagonal bracing mechanism 24 comprising a diagonal bracing rod 241 and a bottom frame rod 242, an upper end of the diagonal bracing rod 241 being hinged with the sliding sleeve 22 through a fourth hinge shaft, a lower end of the diagonal bracing rod 241 being hinged with one end of the bottom frame rod 242 via a sixth hinge shaft, and the other end of the bottom frame rod 242 being hinged with the connector 23 via a fifth hinge shaft, and a lower end of one linkage rod 11 being hinged with the connector 23 via a seventh hinge shaft.


Among them, the axes of the first hinge shaft, the second hinge shaft, the third hinge shaft, and the seventh hinge shaft are parallel to each other; the axes of the fourth hinge shaft, the fifth hinge shaft, and the sixth hinge shaft are parallel to each other, and the included angle between the second hinge shaft and the fourth hinge shaft is not 0. At the lower end of the diagonal bracing rod 241, there are also supporting legs for ground support.


This folding support further comprises at least one locking mechanism, each locking mechanism corresponding to one sliding sleeve 22.


When the linkage mechanism 1 and the two support mechanisms 2 are completely expanded, the locking mechanism can prevent the sliding sleeve 22 corresponding to it from sliding upward along the upright rod 21. “Completely expanded” mentioned herein means that the linkage mechanism 1 is opened to the maximum state and can no longer be opened, and the state of the support mechanism 2 is the same as that of the linkage mechanism 1.


As shown in FIG. 1, the locking mechanism comprises a locking pin 6, and a through pin hole 61 is provided on the upright rod 21. The through pin hole 61 here refers to penetrate through the upright rod 21, and this kind of locking effect is relatively good.


When the linkage mechanism 1 and the two support mechanisms 2 are completely expanded, the through pin hole 61 is located at an upper portion of the sliding sleeve 22, and the locking pin 6 is inserted into the through pin hole 61. “The through pin hole 61 is located at the upper portion of the sliding sleeve 22” mentioned herein means that the locking pin 6 is inserted into the through pin hole 61, and due to the presence of the body of the locking pin 6, the sliding sleeve 22 cannot slide upward along the upright rod 21, that is, the entirety of the linkage mechanism 1 and the support mechanism 2 cannot be closed up. Of course, in order to facilitate the insertion of the locking pin 6, when the locking pin 6 is inserted into the through pin hole 61, the body of the locking pin 6 and the upper surface of the sliding sleeve 22 may still have a certain gap, and the presence of the gap is only able to achieve a slight upward movement of the sliding sleeve 22.


A ring buckle 7 is fixed to one end of the locking pin 6. Provision of the ring buckle 7 is (i) to facilitate the removal and insertion of the locking pin 6, and (ii) to prevent the locking pin 6 from being inserted too deep so that a head of the locking pin 6 can fall into an inner cavity of the upright rod 21, thereby causing the entirety of the locking pin 6 to fall into it. Here, the locking pin 6 and the through pin hole 61 are in a close-fitting state.


Of course, in order to facilitate carrying, the locking pin 6 here can be connected to the sliding sleeve 22 through the connecting wire to prevent it from being lost. Of course, the connection form is not unique, and it can also be plugged into the sliding sleeve 22, or it can be connected through a flexible connection line. It can also be movably hung on the sliding sleeve by a ring so that the locking pin 6 will not be lost.


As shown in FIG. 2, the locking mechanism comprises a button 4, a fixed shaft 5, a fixed housing 3 and a spring (not shown in the figure); the fixed housing 3 is fixed on the sliding sleeve 22, and the fixed shaft 5 is mounted on the fixed housing 3, and the button 4 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 5; a clamping nail (not shown in the figure) is fixed on a clamping end of the button 4, and the clamping nail (not shown in the figure) penetrate out of the fixed housing 3; a lower surface at a pressing end of the button 4 is fixedly connected with one end of the spring (not shown in the figure), the other end of the spring (not shown in the figure) is fixedly connected with the bottom surface of the fixed housing 3, and the clamping end and the pressing end are located at two sides of the fixed shaft 5; the upright rod 21 is provided with a blind hole for the clamping nail. Here, when the linkage mechanism 1 and the two support mechanisms 2 are unfolded, the clamping nail (not shown in the figure) abuts against an outer wall of the upright rod 21 while the spring (not shown in the figure) is in a compressed state. However, in the process where the slide sleeve 22 continues to slide downward, when the clamping nail (not shown in the figure) moves to the blind hole for the clamping nail, under the action of the spring (not shown in the figure), the clamping nail (not shown in the figure) is stuck in the blind hole for the clamping nail. When it is required to retract, it can be achieved only by pressing a pressing portion of the button 4. The blind hole for the clamping nail here is in communication with the inner cavity of the upright rod 21.


When the linkage mechanism 1 and the two support mechanisms 2 are completely expanded, the clamping nail (not shown in the figure) is stuck in the blind hole for the clamping nail.


The end portion of the bottom frame rod 242 is hinged with the connector 23 through the fifth hinge shaft; in the same support mechanism 2, the axis of one fifth hinge shaft intersects at an intersection point with the axis of the other fifth hinge shaft; and the intersection point of one support mechanism 2 and the intersection point of the other support mechanism 2 are located on two sides of the linkage mechanism 1. Herein, it is pointed out that by this arrangement, the position of the fifth hinge shaft can make the two diagonal bracing mechanisms 24 combine with the upright pole 21 to form a triangular pyramid shape, thereby further enhancing the supporting strength thereof.


A folding chair, comprising the folding support as described above, wherein a seat cushion cloth 8 is arranged on said folding support, two sides of the seat cushion cloth 8 are mirror-arranged with hanging portions 9, each of said hanging portions 9 corresponds to one upright rod 21, two ends of the hanging portion 9 are fixedly connected with the seat cushion cloth 8, and the hanging portion 9 is fixed on an upper end of the upright rod 21. Here, the seat cushion cloth 8 is in an arc shape and is pulled downward to form a U-shape, and this arrangement is convenient for people to sit down.


A sleeve 91 is fixed to a waist portion of the hanging portion 9, and the sleeve 91 is sleeved on the upper end of the upright rod 21. The connection between the hanging portion 9 and the upper end of the upright rod 21 is not limited to the above sleeve 91. Of course, various connection types such as bolts or rivets may be used.


The folding chair further comprises two armrest rods 10, two armrest rods 10 mirror-disposed on two sides of the seat cushion cloth 8, each armrest rod 10 corresponding to one hanging portion 9, two ends of the hanging portion 9 fixedly connected with two ends of the armrest rod 10, respectively.


The folding chair further comprises a backrest portion 11 for backrest. The backrest portion 11 is disposed along a length direction of the seat pad 8 and the backrest portion 11 is fixedly connected to the seat cushion cloth 8. Here, the backrest portion 11 completely blocks the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped seat cushion cloth 8, and then the backrest portion 11 is nearly parallel to the vertical direction, which is thereby convenient for the people to lean.


Based on the above description of the ideal embodiments of the application, through the above description, those skilled in the art can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of the application. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content of the description, and must be determined according to the scope of claims.
