In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides a stroller, including the stroller frame according to any one of the preceding embodiments.
The stroller frame provided in the present disclosure includes the handle assembly, the stroller folding mechanism, the handrail assembly, the front foot assembly, the rear foot assembly, the seat assembly, and an unlocking mechanism; the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are provided at intervals on the stroller folding mechanism, wherein the stroller folding mechanism is hinged to the handle assembly through the first rotating shaft, and the stroller folding mechanism is hinged to one end of the handrail assembly through the second rotating shaft; the handle assembly is hinged to the rear foot assembly through the third rotating shaft, wherein the rear foot assembly is provided with the fourth rotating shaft, and one end of the handrail assembly away from the stroller folding mechanism and one end of the front foot assembly are both hinged to the rear foot assembly through the fourth rotating shaft; one side of the seat assembly is hinged to the handle assembly through the fifth rotating shaft, and the other side is hinged to the front foot assembly through the sixth rotating shaft; the locking mechanism is provided on the handle assembly, the locking mechanism and the first rotating shaft are arranged at intervals, and the locking portion matched with the locking mechanism is provided on the stroller folding mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism is configured to be connected with the locking portion when the stroller frame is unfolded, so as to limit rotation of the stroller folding mechanism about the first rotating shaft relative to the handle assembly; and the unlocking mechanism is connected to the locking mechanism, for driving the locking mechanism away from the locking portion, so as to unlock the locking mechanism and the locking portion. In the stroller frame, generally, taking the rear foot assembly as a dividing line, the stroller folding mechanism, the handle assembly, and the handrail assembly are provided on one side of the rear foot assembly, and the seat assembly and the front foot assembly are provided on the other side of the rear foot assembly. In the stroller frame provided in the present disclosure, when the stroller frame is unfolded, the stroller folding mechanism, the handle assembly, the rear foot assembly, and the handrail assembly can form a quadrilateral structure with the first rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft, the third rotating shaft, and the fourth rotating shaft as vertices, and the handle assembly, the rear foot assembly, the seat assembly, and the front foot assembly can form a quadrilateral structure with the third rotating shaft, the fourth rotating shaft, the fifth rotating shaft, and the sixth rotating shaft as vertices. When the stroller frame is unfolded, the locking mechanism is connected to the locking portion, and rotation of the stroller folding mechanism about the first rotating shaft relative to the handle assembly can be limited, in this case, degree of freedom at the first rotating shaft is limited, the first rotating shaft cannot rotate, and the stroller folding mechanism cannot rotate. After the rotating function of the first rotating shaft is lost, the quadrangle formed by connecting the first rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft, the third rotating shaft, and the fourth rotating shaft is changed into a triangle formed by connecting the second rotating shaft, the third rotating shaft, and the fourth rotating shaft, in this case, the handle assembly, the rear foot assembly, and the handrail assembly can form a triangle-like structure. As the stability of the triangle is the best and neither the stroller folding mechanism nor the first rotating shaft can rotate, the effect of locking the handle assembly, the rear foot assembly, and the handrail assembly can be achieved. Moreover, as both the handle assembly and the rear foot assembly are locked, the handle assembly cannot rotate, and the third rotating shaft cannot rotate either, in this case, after the rotating function of the third rotating shaft is lost, the quadrangle formed by connecting the third rotating shaft, the fourth rotating shaft, the fifth rotating shaft, and the sixth rotating shaft is changed into a triangle formed by connecting the fourth rotating shaft, the fifth rotating shaft, and the sixth rotating shaft, and the rear foot assembly, the seat assembly, and the front foot assembly can form a triangle-like structure. As the stability of the triangle is the best and neither the handle assembly nor the third rotating shaft can rotate, the effect of locking the rear foot assembly, the seat assembly, and the front foot assembly can be achieved. So far, the whole structure of the stroller frame is locked, and can be kept stable in an unfolded state. When the stroller frame needs to be folded, the rear foot assembly can be first kept upright, and then the unlocking mechanism is used to drive the locking mechanism away from the locking portion, so that the locking mechanism and the locking portion are unlocked, in this case, the degree of freedom of the first rotating shaft is no longer restricted, and the first rotating shaft can rotate. As the stroller folding mechanism, the handle assembly, the rear foot assembly, and the handrail assembly form the quadrilateral structure with the first rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft, the third rotating shaft, and the fourth rotating shaft as vertices, and the handle assembly, the rear foot assembly, the seat assembly, and the front foot assembly form a quadrilateral structure with the third rotating shaft, the fourth rotating shaft, the fifth rotating shaft, and the sixth rotating shaft as vertices, when the degree of freedom of the first rotating shaft is no longer restricted, the two quadrilateral structures above can be respectively folded automatically on the two sides of the rear foot assembly due to their own gravity, thus, the automatic stroller folding function can be achieved when the frame is kept standing.
Compared with the prior art, for the stroller frame provided in the present disclosure, the stroller folding mechanism and the first rotating shaft can be unlocked through driving the locking mechanism to move away from the locking portion by the unlocking mechanism, thus all the rotating shafts of the stroller frame can be unlocked, so that the handle assembly, the stroller folding mechanism, the handrail assembly, the front foot assembly, the rear foot assembly, and the seat assembly of the stroller frame can all rotate freely, and can be automatically folded on two sides of the rear foot assembly when the rear foot assembly is kept upright, further achieving the function of unlocking through one-hand operation and then automatically folding the stroller through self-weight of the frame, and the user does not need to perform the unlocking simultaneously with two hands, which can improve the convenience of operation.
The stroller provided in the present disclosure includes the above stroller frame, therefore, the stroller provided in the present disclosure has the same beneficial effects as the above stroller frame.
