The invention relates to the technical field of dining chairs, in particular to a hook-on chair for a baby having meals.
The existing hook-on chair for a baby having meals generally comprises a seat, two upper clamping arms arranged on two sides of the seat, two lower clamping arms arranged on two sides of the seat, two vertical support rods arranged on the seat, and locking devices. The two upper clamping arms are opposite to the two lower clamping arms vertically, and the opposite surfaces of the upper clamping arms and the lower clamping arms are provided with an upper anti-slip pad and a lower anti-slip pad, respectively. The rear portion of each lower clamping arm is provided with a lifting base, which is movably sleeved with the corresponding vertical support rods and moves vertically along the vertical support rods to drive the lower clamping arm up and down. The locking devices are arranged on the lifting base. When the lower clamping arms moves up to work with the upper clamping arms along with the lifting base and clamp the tabletop in between, the locking devices are manually driven to lock the lifting base in place, so that the upper and lower clamping arms remain clamping the tabletop, and the hook-on chair is mounted in place. When the hook-on chair is to be dismounted, the locking devices should be released to unlock the lifting base.
However in the conventional hook-on chair of this type, only by adjusting the height of the lower clamping arms through the lifting base and locking with the locking devices, it is difficult for the upper and lower clamping arms to completely lock down the tabletop in between at one time by jacking up the lifting base in the process of locking. Therefore, after locking, the hook-on chair is easy to slip or shake, and clamping and security are relatively low.
The invention aims at providing a hook-on chair to achieve better clamping with the tabletop and security of the use.
For this purpose, the present invention provides a hook-on chair, comprising:
a seat which comprises a seat body, the seat body is provided with an upper clamping arm extending forwards and a vertical support tube extending downwards;
a lower clamping arm installed on the vertical support tube and moving along the same. The front portion of the lower clamping arm is provided with a lower clamping unit below the upper clamping arm, the lower clamping arm can work with the upper clamping arm to clamp or release the tabletop between the lower clamping unit and the upper clamping arm as the lower clamping arm moves vertically along the vertical support tube.
a height adjustment mechanism comprising an adjustment part arranged on the vertical support tube and a primary locking device used for locking the lower clamping arm on the adjustment part.
a height fine-adjustment mechanism arranged on the lower portion of the vertical support tube and used for driving the adjustment part to move vertically along the vertical support tube so as to adjust the height of the lower clamping arm.
The technical scheme of the invention includes that the vertical support tube is provided with an adjustment part inside so as to position the lower clamping arm initially, the lower portion of the vertical support tube is provided with the height fine-adjustment mechanism used for driving the adjustment part to move vertically in the vertical support tube. During installation, the hook-on chair moves to the position of the tabletop between the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm firstly, then the lower clamping arm is driven to vertically move towards the upper clamping arm along the vertical support tube to be abutted against the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm, the primary locking device is driven to lock the lower clamping arm to the adjustment part, and the hook-on chair is pre-clamped. Later, the height fine-adjustment mechanism is driven to drive the adjustment part to move vertically upwards along the vertical support tube and the lower clamping arm to move up. As such, the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm are provided with secondary pressure to clamp the tabletop tighter, and finally clamping of the hook-on chair and the tabletop is finished. Apparently, the height of the lower clamping arm is adjusted twice with the additional height fine-adjustment mechanism, the lower clamping arm is thereby driven to work with the upper clamping arm to clamp the tabletop better, and the hook-on chair installed on the tabletop is prevented from shaking or even moving and stability in clamping and safety of the use of the hook-on chair are improved accordingly.
