As shown in fig. 3 to fig. 15, more specifically:

as shown in fig. 2-4, the armrest frame linking and unfolding mechanism includes a pushing and unfolding structure disposed between the armrest linking seat 310 and the fixing member 220, a positioning member 700, and a lock releasing driving member 1200. The pushing and unfolding structure is to pivot the fixing element 220 to enable the backrest frame 200 to pivot and unfold relative to the lower bracket 100 in order to pivot the armrest linkage 310; the positioning member 700 is configured to limit the relative positions of the fixing member 220 and the armrest linkage 310 such that the armrest frame 300 is maintained in the deployed position relative to the backrest frame 200; the unlocking driving member 1200 can drive the positioning member 700 to release the restriction on the relative positions of the fixing member 220 and the armrest coupling seat 310.

The following describes the structure of the armrest frame linkage deployment mechanism in detail:

as shown in fig. 2 to fig. 4, one of the fixing element 220 and the armrest linking seat 310 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 224 along the pivoting direction, the other of the fixing element 220 and the armrest linking seat 310 is fixedly provided with a limiting block 311 along the pivoting direction, the size of the limiting block 311 along the pivoting direction is smaller than the arc-shaped size of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, the limiting block 311 is clamped into the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 and can move in the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, and the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 and the limiting block 311 form a pushing and unfolding structure; when the limiting block 311 moves to abut against one end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, the armrest linkage 310 can push the fixing member 220 to pivot relative to the end of the lower bracket 100 via the abutting limiting block 311 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, so as to unfold the backrest frame 200.

In the present embodiment, the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 has a uniform depth, and two ends of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 are formed with abutting end surfaces. In this embodiment, when the limiting block 311 moves to abut against one end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, the armrest linkage 310 can push the fixing member 220 to pivot relative to the end of the lower bracket 100 through the abutting limiting block 311 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 so as to unfold the backrest frame 200, and when the limiting block 311 moves to abut against the other end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, the armrest linkage 310 can push the fixing member 220 to pivot relative to the end of the lower bracket 100 through the abutting limiting block 311 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 so as to fold the backrest frame 200.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 2-5 and 11-13, the fixing element 220 and the armrest linking seat 310 are rotatably sleeved, an arc-shaped limiting groove 224 is disposed on an outer edge of one of the fixing element 220 and the armrest linking seat 310 located on an inner side, and a limiting block 311 is formed by one of the fixing element 220 and the armrest linking seat 310 located on an outer side protruding inward. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the fixing element 220 is located at the inner side, the armrest linkage seat 310 is sleeved on the outer side of the fixing element 220 and can pivot relative to the fixing element 220, the outer edge side of the fixing element 220 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 224, the armrest linkage seat 310 protrudes inward along the direction perpendicular to the pivot axis to form a limiting block 311, and the limiting block 311 extends into the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, so that the armrest linkage seat 310 can pivot relative to the fixing element 220 only within the range of the angle formed by the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 to unfold or fold the armrest frame 300. After the armrest linkage 310 pivots relative to the fixed member 220 to the end of the limit block 311 abutting against the arc-shaped limit groove 224, the external force can push the armrest frame 300 to make the armrest linkage 310 continue to pivot, and push the abutting end surface of the arc-shaped limit groove 224 via the limit block 311 to make the armrest linkage 310 and the fixed member 220 relatively fixed and pivot synchronously until the backrest frame 200 is unfolded relative to the lower bracket 100. Certainly, the positions of the fixing element 220 and the armrest linking seat 310 can be reversed, that is, the armrest linking seat 310 is located on the inner side, the fixing element 220 is sleeved on the outer side of the armrest linking seat 310 and can pivot relative to the armrest linking seat 310, and the limiting block 311 is disposed on the fixing element 220 located on the outer side, and the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 is disposed on the armrest linking seat 310 located on the inner side. Further, the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 may not be disposed on the outer edge side of the fixing member 220, as long as the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 is disposed on the outer side of the pivot axis of the fixing member 220 and is in an arc shape with the pivot axis as the arc center.

Referring to fig. 2-5 and 11-13, the positioning member 700 can move relative to the fixed member 220 and the armrest linkage 310, and when the armrest linkage 310 pivots relative to the fixed member 220 to the armrest frame 300 at the unfolded position, the positioning member 700 can extend between the fixed member 220 and the armrest linkage 310 to limit the relative pivoting between the fixed member 220 and the armrest linkage 310. Preferably, the positioning member 700 is connected to one of the fixing member 220 and the armrest linkage 310, in which the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 is formed, and rotates with the pivot axis of the fixing member 220 and the armrest linkage 310, and when the limiting block 311 abuts against one end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 to unfold the backrest frame 200, the positioning member 700 extends between the limiting block 311 and the other end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 to limit the relative rotation between the fixing member 220 and the armrest linkage 310.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2-5 and 11-13, the positioning member 700 is inserted into the pivot axis of the fixing member 220, and the positioning portion 720 of the positioning member 700 extends in the radial direction and faces the arc-shaped limiting groove 224; the fixing member 220 and the armrest linkage seat 310 are provided with an avoiding portion corresponding to one of the arc-shaped limiting grooves 224. As shown in fig. 2-5, more specifically: a mounting hole 221 is formed at the pivot axis of the fixing element 220, and the positioning element 700 is inserted into the mounting hole 221 of the fixing element 220 and is coaxially arranged with the pivot axis of the end of the lower bracket 100, the fixing element 220 and the armrest linkage seat 310; the sidewall of the fixing member 220 is provided with an avoiding portion communicated with the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, and the positioning member 700 is disposed at the pivot axis, and the positioning portion 720 of the positioning member radially extends out to pass through the avoiding portion and extend out to be opposite to the arc-shaped limiting groove 224. The size of the positioning member 700 along the pivoting direction is substantially equal to the difference between the sizes of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 and the limiting block 311, and when the limiting block 311 is in a state of moving to one end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 and pushing the backrest frame 200 to unfold, the positioning member 700 faces the other end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 and can move to the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 along the pivoting axis and be clamped between the limiting block 311 and the other end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, so as to limit the relative movement of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 and the limiting block 311, and thus limit the armrest frame 300 to be in the unfolded state. It can be understood that a portion of space is reserved at the pivot joint of the fixing element 220, the armrest coupling seat 310 and the lower bracket 100, so as to accommodate the positioning element 700 and allow the positioning element 700 to move along the pivot axis.

As shown in fig. 11-13, the unlocking driving member 1200 is disposed at the pivot axis of the fixing member 220 and the armrest linkage 310 and can move axially relative to the pivot axis of the fixing member 220 and the armrest linkage 310; the release driving member 1200 is located outside the extending direction of the positioning member 700 and can push the positioning member 700 to move inward to exit the arc-shaped limiting groove 224. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: the release driving member 1200 is the same as the positioning member 700, and is also located at the pivot joint of the fixing member 220, the armrest linking seat 310, and the lower bracket 100, and the release driving member 1200 can also move along the pivot axis of the fixing member 220 and the armrest linking seat 310, and the release driving member 1200 is located outside the extending direction of the positioning member 700 and can push the positioning member 700 to move inward to exit the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, so as to release the lock of the armrest frame 300 relative to the backrest frame 200. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the positioning member 700 is the same as the fixing member 220 and has a central hole 740, the unlocking driving member 1200 is inserted into the central hole 740 of the positioning member 700, and a shoulder structure is correspondingly disposed between the unlocking driving member 1200 and the positioning member 700, and the positioning member 700 is pushed by the unlocking driving member 1200 through the shoulder structure.

The following will describe the linked unfolding and folding process of the foldable stroller in detail with reference to fig. 1-5 and 11-13:

when the seat 1 is in the folded state, as shown in fig. 12, the limit block 311 of the armrest linkage 310 is located at one end of the arc-shaped limit groove 224, and the armrest frame 300 is folded relative to the backrest frame 200;

when the external force drives the armrest frame 300 to drive the armrest linkage seat 310 to pivot relative to the fixed member 220, the limiting block 311 moves in the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 to the other end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, the limiting on the positioning portion 720 is released, and the positioning member 700 extends outward to the arc-shaped limiting groove 224 to limit the armrest frame 300 to the unfolded position; the external force pushes the armrest frame 300 to make the armrest linkage 310 pivot continuously, and the limit block 311 pushes the abutting end surface of the arc-shaped limit groove 224 to make the armrest linkage 310 and the fixing element 220 relatively fixed and pivot synchronously until the backrest frame 200 is unfolded relative to the lower bracket 100.

When the foldable stroller is folded, the locking/unlocking driving member 1200 is pressed inward, the locking/unlocking driving member 1200 drives the positioning member 700 to move inward via the shaft shoulder structure and exit the arc-shaped limiting groove 224, and at this time, the armrest frame 300 is driven by the positioning member 700 to pivot reversely relative to the fixing member 220 to the foldable state.

In order to ensure that the pivoting motion rules of the lower support 100 and the backrest 200 are convenient to operate and control in the unfolding or folding process of the foldable baby carriage, a frame synchronous opening and closing linkage mechanism is arranged at the pivoting position of the backrest 200 and the lower support 100. The lower bracket 100 and the backrest frame 200 are pivoted synchronously by the synchronous opening and closing linkage mechanism of the frame.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7-10, the frame synchronous opening and closing linkage mechanism includes a back-rest linkage seat 210 fixedly disposed at an end of the back-rest 200, a lower bracket linkage seat 110 fixedly disposed at an end of the lower bracket 100, and a linkage unit disposed between the back-rest linkage seat 210 and the lower bracket linkage seat 110, the back-rest linkage seat 210 and the lower bracket linkage seat 110 are coaxially pivoted, a first tooth portion 111 is disposed in the lower bracket linkage seat 110, a second tooth portion 212 is disposed in the back-rest linkage seat 210, and the linkage unit is engaged with the first tooth portion 111 and the second tooth portion 212 at the same time, so as to implement the synchronous pivoting opening or closing of the back-rest 200 and the lower bracket 100. As shown in fig. 1-2 and 11-15, more specifically:

as shown in fig. 7, the lower end of the lower rack linkage base 110 is fixedly connected to the lower rack 100, the upper end of the back-to-back rack linkage base 210 is fixedly connected to the back-to-back rack 200, and the upper end of the lower rack linkage base 110 is pivotally connected to the lower end of the back-to-back rack linkage base 210. The linkage unit for realizing the synchronous pivoting of the lower bracket 100 and the back-rest frame 200 is disposed at the pivot joint of the lower bracket linkage 110 and the back-rest linkage 210.

As shown in fig. 8, the outer contour of the upper pivot portion of the lower linkage seat 110 is substantially circular, and the outer edge of the lower linkage seat 110 protrudes toward the direction back to the linkage seat 210 to form an annular sidewall. The annular sidewall is centered on the pivot axis and has a first tooth 111 formed on an inner wall thereof.

As shown in fig. 3 and 9, the back-to-back-frame coupling seat 210 has a connecting hole 213 penetrating through the back-to-back-frame coupling seat 210 at a center of the back-to-back-frame coupling seat 210 corresponding to the pivot axis, and a side of the back-to-back-frame coupling seat 210 away from the lower-frame coupling seat 110 has an accommodating cavity 211, and is connected to and positions the seat angle adjusting mechanism through the accommodating cavity 211; the back-to-back linkage seat 210 is planar on the side facing the lower frame linkage seat 110, and only protrudes toward the upper frame linkage seat at the pivot axis of the back-to-back linkage seat 210 to form a boss with a circular outer contour, and the second tooth portion 212 is formed on the outer wall of the boss.

When the lower rack linkage 110 and the back rest linkage 210 are pivoted: the other side of the annular side wall is attached to the lower support linkage seat 110, and a cavity for sealing the linkage unit is formed between the lower support linkage seat 110 and the back support linkage seat 210, so that the linkage unit is not exposed, and the reliability of the mechanism is improved; the second tooth part 212 arranged on the outer wall of the boss and the first tooth part 111 arranged on the inner wall of the annular side wall are arranged concentrically, but because the diameter size of the boss is small, a large gap is formed between the first tooth part 111 and the second tooth part 212, and the first tooth part and the second tooth part are not in direct contact.

As shown in fig. 7 and 10, the linking unit includes a connecting member 1100 coaxially pivoted to the back-to-back linking base 210 and the lower support linking base 110, and a gear 1000 rotatably connected to the connecting member 1100. The middle of the connecting member 1100 is a pivoting portion pivotally connected to the back-rest linkage seat 210 and the lower-support linkage seat 110 coaxially, two ends of the connecting member 1100 are respectively provided with a positioning shaft 1102 for positioning the gear 1000, and the two gears 1000 are respectively and correspondingly connected to the positioning shaft 1102.

Referring to fig. 7 and 10, the gear 1000 is located between the connecting element 1100 and the backrest frame linking seat 210, and one side of the gear 1000 facing the pivoting portion is close to the boss and engaged with the second tooth portion 212 disposed on the outer wall of the boss; the side of the gear 1000 away from the pivot portion is disposed protruding from the connecting member 1100, so that the gear 1000 is not hidden by the connecting member 1100 and the gear 1000 can be engaged with the first tooth portion 111 of the inner wall of the annular sidewall. Since the two gears 1000 are respectively located between the first tooth portion 111 and the second tooth portion 212 and are both engaged with the first tooth portion 111 and the second tooth portion 212 at the same time, the relative pivoting of the lower bracket 100 and the backrest frame 200 is linked, and the two are synchronously pivoted to be unfolded or folded.

It can be appreciated that without positioning the link 1100, the link 1100 is synchronized about the pivot axis during the pivoting movement of the two gears 1000 between the first tooth 111 and the second tooth 212. In a preferred embodiment, the link 1100 is positioned to provide stability for the pivotal folding.

When the back-rest carrier 210 and the lower-frame carrier 110 pivot to the unfolded state, the back-rest carrier 210 and the lower-frame carrier 110 should not pivot any more, but should be reliably limited, so that the foldable stroller remains unfolded. Specifically, the frame synchronous opening and closing linkage mechanism further comprises a clamping piece 900, and the clamping piece 900 is also sealed in the cavity formed by the annular side walls. The link 1100 moves along with the gear 1000 between the first tooth 111 and the second tooth 212 until the link 1100 is shielded by the engaging member 900, so that the link 1100 and the gear 1000 connected to the link 1100 are no longer movable and the foldable stroller remains unfolded.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 7 and 9, the inner wall of the back-rest linking seat 210 is provided with a special-shaped latch 214, the engaging member 900 includes a connecting portion 920 connected to the back-rest linking seat 210 and the lower-rest linking seat 110 at the pivot axis, and two ends of the engaging member 900 are respectively engaged with the special-shaped latch 214 and simultaneously engaged with a portion of the first tooth portion 111 provided on the lower-rest linking seat 110, so as to achieve the unfolding positioning of the lower rest 100 and the back-rest 200.

In the foldable stroller, the seat 1 can be angularly adjusted relative to the frame of the foldable stroller.

Specifically, in the seat angle adjusting mechanism as shown in fig. 1-2 and 6, the seat angle adjusting mechanism includes a fixing member 220, an adjusting member 120, a seat angle adjusting driving member 500 and a latch 600, wherein the adjusting member 120 is detachably fixed to the stroller frame by a seat connecting member 320 disposed adjacent to the outer side of the stroller frame, and the fixing member 220 is capable of pivoting relative to the adjusting member 120; the fixing element 220 is provided with a through hole 222, the bayonet lock 600 is inserted into the through hole 222, one end of the bayonet lock 600 abuts against the seat angle adjustment driving element 500, and the other end of the bayonet lock 600 extends out of the adjustment element 120; the adjusting member 120 is provided with a plurality of adjusting holes 121 corresponding to the locking pins 600, and one side of the seat angle adjusting driving member 500 abutting against the locking pins 600 is provided with a driving surface 510 for driving the locking pins 600 to extend into or withdraw from the adjusting holes 121. As shown in fig. 3 to 7, more specifically:
