DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure clearer and more intelligible, detailed descriptions will be made below to the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in combination with the drawings.


In the descriptions of the present disclosure, it is to be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms such as upper, lower, front, rear, left and right are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings and used only to facilitate descriptions of the present disclosure and simplify the descriptions rather than indicate or imply the indicated device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus shall not be understood as limiting of the present disclosure.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the present disclosure provides a folding swing chair frame. The folding swing chair frame includes two upright tubes 1 disposed at left and right sides, and a linkage group 2 is connected between the two upright tubes 1. The linkage group 2 includes two swing rods 21 and two crossing tubes 22, and the two crossing tubes 22 are hinged with each other by a crossing point. Upper ends of the two crossing tubes 22 are respectively hinged to lower ends of the two swing rods 21, and upper ends of the two swing rods 21 are respectively hinged to the two upright tubes 1. The two upright tubes 1 are respectively hinged to lower ends of the two crossing tubes 22. A slide sleeve locking piece is disposed on the two upright tubes 1 respectively. The slide sleeve locking pieces are slid along a length direction of the upright tubes 1. A groove 32 is disposed on the slide sleeve locking pieces respectively.
