As shown in fig. 1, some embodiments provide a stroller frame that includes a frame body 1, a front wheel assembly 2, a locking mechanism 3, and a linkage mechanism 4.
The frame body 1 includes a folded state and an unfolded state, and the frame body 1 includes a front foot tube assembly 11. The front wheel assembly 2 is provided to the front foot tube assembly 11. The locking mechanism 3 is arranged on the frame body 1, and the locking mechanism 3 comprises a locking state and an unlocking state. The linkage mechanism 4 is arranged on the frame body 1 and connected with the front wheel assembly 2, and the linkage mechanism 4 comprises a positioning state and a non-positioning state.
Wherein the frame body 1 is configured to maintain the unfolded state when the locking mechanism 3 is in the locked state, and the frame body 1 is configured to be convertible from the unfolded state to the folded state when the locking mechanism 3 is in the unlocked state.
The linkage mechanism 4 is configured to act in the process of converting the frame body 1 from the unfolding state to the folding state, and convert from the non-positioning state to the positioning state; the link mechanism 4 is configured to be in a positioning state to position the front wheel assembly 2 when the frame body 1 is in the folded state.
In some embodiments, in the process of the frame body 1 converting from the unfolding state to the folding state, that is, in the folding process of the frame body 1, the linkage mechanism 4 acts, the frame body is converted from the non-positioning state to the positioning state, and when the frame body 1 is in the folding state, the frame body is in the positioning state, the front wheel assembly 2 is positioned, the front wheel assembly 2 is prevented from shaking, the stability of the frame body 1 after being folded is improved, the front wheel assembly 2 can be synchronously positioned in the folding process of the frame body 1, when the frame body 1 is folded, the positioning of the front wheel assembly 2 is completed, the front wheel assembly 2 does not need to be separately positioned, and the operation is convenient.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the linkage mechanism 4 includes a positioning block 41 disposed on the front foot tube assembly 11 and a positioning groove 42 disposed on the front wheel assembly 2, and the positioning block 41 has a dimension in the depth direction of the positioning groove 42 greater than the depth of the positioning groove 42. As shown in fig. 2, when the linkage mechanism 4 is in the non-positioning state, the positioning block 41 is located outside the positioning slot 42, and when the linkage mechanism 4 is switched from the non-positioning state to the positioning state, the positioning block 41 moves into the positioning slot 42; as shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the linkage mechanism 4 is in the positioning state, part of the positioning block 41 is located in the positioning groove 42, and part of the positioning block is located outside the positioning groove 42 and inside the front leg assembly 11, and the front leg assembly 2 is positioned by matching the positioning block 41 and the positioning groove 42, so that the structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
In some embodiments, the front wheel assembly 2 includes a mounting bracket 21 and wheels 22, the mounting bracket 21 is rotatably mounted to the front footrest assembly 11, the wheels 22 are mounted to the mounting bracket 21, and the positioning slot 42 is formed in the mounting bracket 21. When the frame body 1 is in the folded state and the linkage mechanism 4 is in the positioning state, the mounting frame 21 is fixed relative to the position of the front foot tube assembly 11, the mounting frame 21 cannot swing or rotate relative to the front foot tube assembly 11, and the wheels 22 can rotate per se, so that the folded frame body 1 is pushed, and the instable problem of the frame body 1 due to the fact that the mounting frame 21 swings or rotates relative to the front foot tube assembly 11 is avoided. When the frame body 1 is in the unfolded state and the linkage mechanism 4 is in the non-positioning state, the mounting frame 21 can swing or rotate relative to the mounting frame 21, so that the frame body 1 can be reversed when the frame body 1 is pushed.
In some embodiments, the linkage mechanism 4 further includes a pulling rope 43, a first end of the pulling rope 43 is connected to the positioning block 41, and a second end of the pulling rope 43 is connected to the frame body 1, as shown in fig. 2, the pulling rope 43 is configured to pull the positioning block 41 to keep the positioning block 41 outside the positioning groove 42 when the frame body 1 is in the unfolded state, as shown in fig. 4, and the pulling rope 43 is further configured to be loosened during the transition of the frame body 1 from the unfolded state to the folded state to reduce the pulling force on the positioning block 41.
When the frame body 1 is in the unfolded state, the stay 43 is in the tensioned state, and the positioning block 41 is pulled up to hold the positioning block 41 outside the positioning groove 42, thereby releasing the positioning action on the front wheel assembly 2. When the frame body 1 is converted from the unfolded state to the folded state, the pull rope 43 is loosened, the pulling force on the positioning block 41 is reduced, finally, when the frame body 1 is in the folded state, the pull rope 43 has no pulling force on the positioning block 41, the positioning block 41 can be positioned in the positioning groove 42 under the external force, so that the mounting frame 21 of the front wheel assembly 2 is fixed relative to the position of the front foot tube assembly 11, and the purpose of positioning the front wheel assembly 2 is achieved.
