本实用新型的一种折叠家具的打开锁固结构,如图1a和图1b所示的,所述折叠家具100可以是折叠桌或折叠椅等家具,如图所示为折叠桌,其包括第一可折叠面板110、第二可折叠面板120,通过一折叠转轴可平展展开,图1a所示部分为图1b所示部分的A部局部放大图。The opening and locking structure of a folding furniture of the present utility model is shown in Figure 1a and Figure 1b. A foldable panel 110 and a second foldable panel 120 can be unfolded through a folding shaft. The part shown in FIG. 1a is a partial enlarged view of part A of the part shown in FIG. 1b.

所述打开锁固结构如图1a、图2a和图2b所示,设置在所述第一可折叠面板110和第二可折叠面板120之间,包括一具有截止部111的卡合片112,固定在所述第一可折叠面板上,可设置为单片结构;如图中所示,较好的是,采用双片结构,所述卡合片112上设置为一圆弧段,所述截止部111是在所述圆弧段上设置的一突变部位,如本实施例中设置的一近乎垂直的拐角部。The unlocking and locking structure is shown in FIG. 1a, FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b, and is arranged between the first foldable panel 110 and the second foldable panel 120, and includes an engaging piece 112 with a cut-off portion 111, Fixed on the first foldable panel, it can be set as a single-piece structure; as shown in the figure, it is better to adopt a double-piece structure, and the engaging piece 112 is set as an arc segment, and the The cut-off portion 111 is a discontinuous portion provided on the arc segment, such as a nearly vertical corner provided in this embodiment.

同时还设置有一具有退出脱离通道121的适配片122,如图1a、图2a和图2b所示的,该适配片122固定在所述第二可折叠面板120上,并与所述卡合片110依折叠转轴的同轴方向枢接,枢接轴为标号180,这样在所述第一可折叠面板与所述第二可折叠面板为打开或关闭桌面而绕折叠转轴转动时,所述适配片122和所述卡合片112就依枢接轴相对旋转。Simultaneously, an adapter sheet 122 with an exit channel 121 is also provided, as shown in Fig. 1a, Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b, the adapter sheet 122 is fixed on the second foldable panel 120, and is connected with the card The joint pieces 110 are pivotally connected in the coaxial direction of the folding shaft, and the pivot shaft is designated as 180, so that when the first foldable panel and the second foldable panel rotate around the folding shaft to open or close the desktop, the The matching piece 122 and the engaging piece 112 rotate relative to each other according to the pivot axis.

本实用新型的打开锁固结构还包括一弹性支撑的销轴130,如图1a、图2a和图2b所示的,可以适配卡合在所述卡合片112的截止部与所述适配片122的退出脱离通道之中,卡入所述截止部111以保持所述第一可折叠面板与第二可折叠面板的平展展开状态;该弹性销轴130在被推出该截止部111,进入所述退出脱离通道121中时,折叠所述第一可折叠面板和第二可折叠面板就可以实现对折叠家具的关闭动作。The opening and locking structure of the present utility model also includes an elastically supported pin shaft 130, as shown in Fig. 1a, Fig. 2a and Fig. The matching piece 122 is withdrawn from the disengagement channel, and snapped into the cut-off portion 111 to keep the first foldable panel and the second foldable panel in a flat unfolded state; the elastic pin 130 is pushed out of the cut-off portion 111, When entering the exit passage 121 , the folding furniture can be closed by folding the first foldable panel and the second foldable panel.

所述弹性销轴130通过一按压柄140实现上述被推出截止部111的动作,所述按压柄140与所述卡合片112枢接,如图1a、图2a和图2b所示的,其枢接轴可以设置与所述卡合片与所述适配片之间的枢接轴一致,并在该按压柄140上设置有圆弧适配通道141,与所述退出脱离通道121和所述截止部111的位置交叉,可同时与所述弹性销轴130适配(此时折叠桌面处于打开锁止状态);当用手按压该按压柄140时,该圆弧适配通道141的圆弧设置为将所述销轴130从所述截止部111中推出,并沿所述退出脱离通道向后移动,从而解除锁止状态,此时可将第一可折叠面板与第二可折叠面板进行折叠收起。The elastic pin shaft 130 realizes the above-mentioned action of being pushed out of the cut-off portion 111 through a pressing handle 140, and the pressing handle 140 is pivotally connected with the engaging piece 112, as shown in Fig. 1a, Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b. The pivot axis can be set to be consistent with the pivot axis between the engaging piece and the adapter piece, and a circular arc fitting channel 141 is provided on the pressing handle 140, which is compatible with the withdrawal channel 121 and the The position of the cut-off part 111 intersects and can be adapted to the elastic pin 130 at the same time (at this time, the folding desktop is in an open and locked state); when the pressing handle 140 is pressed by hand, the arc fits the circle of the channel 141 The arc is configured to push the pin shaft 130 out of the cut-off portion 111 and move backward along the exit passage, thereby releasing the locked state. At this time, the first foldable panel and the second foldable panel can be Fold it away.

本实用新型所述的打开锁固结构,所述卡合片112及所述适配片122可分别设置为双片结构,并且所述卡合片涵括所述适配片枢接,如此,本实用新型的打开锁固结构可在折叠过程中更坚固,不致受力变形。In the unlocking and locking structure described in the present utility model, the engaging piece 112 and the adapter piece 122 can be respectively arranged as a double-piece structure, and the engaging piece includes the pivot connection of the adapter piece, thus, The opening and locking structure of the utility model can be stronger during the folding process, and will not be deformed by force.

此外,本实用新型中的所述弹性支撑的销轴130还通过一弹性件实现其弹性,该弹性件的作用在于在打开折叠家具的时候,支撑所述销轴自动卡入所述截止部111,同时对按压柄140具有一弹性支持力,以使之能够复位。In addition, the elastically supported pin shaft 130 in the utility model also realizes its elasticity through an elastic member, and the function of the elastic member is to support the pin shaft to automatically snap into the cut-off portion 111 when the folding furniture is opened. , at the same time, it has an elastic supporting force for the pressing handle 140, so that it can be reset.

该弹性件可设置为一螺旋弹簧131,其环绕一销柱132设置,该销柱固定在所述适配片122上,如图2b所示,其一端抵靠在所述第二可折叠面板的适配片122上,另一端固定在所述销轴130上,在所述销轴130上还设置有扣槽133,如图1a和图2b所示,所述螺旋弹簧131的弹性作用端卡合嵌入该沟槽133中,其实现的作用就是防止销轴130在折叠家具的打开和关闭过程中左右移动而脱落。The elastic member can be configured as a helical spring 131, which is arranged around a pin 132, and the pin is fixed on the adapter piece 122, as shown in FIG. 2b, one end of which abuts against the second foldable panel The other end is fixed on the pin shaft 130, and a buckle groove 133 is also provided on the pin shaft 130, as shown in Figure 1a and Figure 2b, the elastic action end of the coil spring 131 The engagement is embedded in the groove 133 , and its function is to prevent the pin shaft 130 from moving left and right and falling off during the opening and closing process of the folding furniture.

本实用新型所述的打开锁固结构设置在所述折叠转轴的一端侧,然而,为增加牢固程度,完全可以设置在折叠转轴的两端或中间的任意位置。The unlocking and locking structure described in the utility model is arranged on one end side of the folding rotating shaft, however, in order to increase the degree of firmness, it can be arranged at any position at both ends or in the middle of the folding rotating shaft.

本实用新型所采用的打开锁固结构方案主要是用于了支架支撑的折叠家具,然而,显然支架支撑并非本实用新型的限制特征;如图1b和图2c所示的(图2a和图2b为图2c的B部局部放大图),本实用新型所述卡合片112与所述第一可折叠面板110上的第一支架杆113一体设置;所述适配片122与所述第二可折叠面板120上的第二支架杆123一体设置,这种支架结构设置方便了生产,可以先行生产支架结构,后与面板装配为如图1b所示的折叠家具。因此,显然,采用本实用新型上述打开锁固结构的支架结构也应属于本实用新型的专利保护范围。The opening and locking structure scheme adopted by the utility model is mainly used for the folding furniture supported by the bracket, however, obviously the bracket support is not a limiting feature of the utility model; as shown in Fig. 1b and Fig. 2c (Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b It is a partial enlarged view of part B of Fig. 2c), the engaging piece 112 of the present invention is integrated with the first bracket bar 113 on the first foldable panel 110; the adapter piece 122 is connected with the second The second support rod 123 on the foldable panel 120 is integrally arranged. This support structure facilitates production. The support structure can be produced first, and then assembled with the panel to form a folding furniture as shown in FIG. 1b. Therefore, obviously, the support structure adopting the above-mentioned unlocking and locking structure of the utility model should also belong to the patent protection scope of the utility model.

应当理解的是,上述针对本实用新型的实施例的描述较为具体,对本领域普通技术人员来说,可以根据上述说明加以改进或变换,而所有这些改进和变换都应属于本实用新型所附权利要求的保护范围。It should be understood that the above descriptions for the embodiments of the present invention are relatively specific, and those of ordinary skill in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above descriptions, and all these improvements and changes should belong to the appended rights of the present utility model. the scope of protection required.
