The present invention relates generally to a multi-purpose folding frame and a multi-purpose folding frame module.
A folding frame is a frame that can be folded to reduce its size for convenient storage. As it is very convenient to use, it is popular among consumers. Moreover, the folding frame can be applied in various daily-use products, such as stools, chairs, tables, and beds to form folding stools, folding chairs, folding tables, folding beds, etc.
China Patent No. ZL202020112379.6 disclosed a folding bed frame and a combination-type bed frame. The folding bed frame comprises two folding bed frame comprises two bed surface boards hinged together, leg frames and connecting pieces. One end of each connecting piece is hinged with the bed surface board, the other end of the connecting piece is fixed on the leg frame, and the leg frame can move between the open position and the folded position; the connecting piece is configured with a limiting portion. When the leg frame is at the open position, the limiting portion can coordinate with the bed surface board to prevent the leg frame from shaking or folding inversely.
To support the bed surface board, the leg frames of the above folding bed frame must be open in relation to the bed surface board for an angle larger than 90°. However, there is no mechanism to assist the supporting or locking. As a result, the folding bed frame is not supported stably and will shake easily. When the leg frame swings and the bed surface board is folded, the bed surface board loses the support of the leg frame and collapses. This is obviously not safe to use.

Now, the locking board 61 can be rotated and be held inside the groove 52 on the front end of the fourth hinge seat 5. Under the force of its own gravity, the locking plate 62 will swing downward and be embedded into the lock mouth 53 on the lower end of the groove 52, so that the tip end of the locking board 61 is locked inside the groove 52 on the front end of the fourth hinge seat 5. In this way, the locking is realized. The locking structure is simple and easy to operate. Its cost is also very low. To unlock it, simply move the locking plate 62 upward to release it from the lock mouth 53, and pull the locking board 61 outward. The unlocking operation is also very easy.
The outer side of the locking plate 62 is further configured with a lug 621 to facilitate operation. The lug 621 can be held by the hand of the operator to move the locking plate 62 upward to be released from the lock mouth 53, and then the locking board 61 can be pulled outward to realize unlocking. The operation is very easy.
The outer side of the first multi-purpose folding frame 100 is further hinged with a third multi-purpose folding frame 100. The folding direction between the first multi-purpose folding frame 100 and the third multi-purpose folding frame 100 is opposite to the folding direction between the first multi-purpose folding frame 100 and the second multi-purpose folding frame 100; the outer side of the second multi-purpose folding frame 100 is further hinged with a fourth multi-purpose folding frame 100. The folding direction between the second multi-purpose folding frame 100 and the fourth multi-purpose folding frame 100 is opposite to the folding direction between the first multi-purpose folding frame 100 and the second multi-purpose folding frame 100. In this way, the first multi-purpose folding frame 100, second multi-purpose folding frame 100, third multi-purpose folding frame 100, and fourth multi-purpose folding frame 100 can be folded together. The folded multi-purpose folding frame module has a small size to facilitate storage and transportation.
