Two ends of the connecting tube are respectively fixed to the first backrest tube 101 and the second backrest tube 102, and at this time, the first backrest tube 101 and the second backrest tube 102 can not perform a folding action, and only the first intersecting tube and the second intersecting tube can perform the folding action. Furthermore, the first connecting component and the second connecting component can be components that can be unfolded and folded, such as connecting sheets with ends thereof being overlapped and articulated. Specifically, one of the connecting sheets is articulated to the first backrest tube 101, and the other connecting sheet is articulated to the second backrest tube 102. And, an elastic component having a clamping function is provided at articulated parts of the connecting sheets, and when it is required to fold the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet, the elastic component is pulled outward, then the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet can be folded.
  • The first intersecting tube and the second intersecting tube in the embodiments of the present application may have a structure similar to the intersecting tube in the background art, and the shape of the intersecting tube can be changed according to a specific application situation. For example, one of the intersecting tubes can be designed to have an arc-shaped structure for functioning as an armrest. Preferably, the embodiment of the present application adopts the structure in the background art, and specifically the first intersecting tube includes a first upper intersecting tube 105 and a first lower intersecting tube 106 which are articulated at middle parts thereof. A top end of the first upper intersecting tube 105 is articulated to the first through-hole bracket 111, a top end of the first lower intersecting tube 106 is provided with the first upper bracket 117, and a bottom end of the first lower intersecting tube 106 is articulated to the first backrest tube 101.
  • The second intersecting tube includes a second upper intersecting tube 107 and a second lower intersecting tube 108 which are articulated at middle parts thereof. A top end of the second upper intersecting tube 107 is articulated to the second through-hole bracket 112, a top end of the second lower intersecting tube 108 is provided with a second upper bracket 118, and a bottom end of the second lower intersecting tube 108 is articulated to the second backrest tube 102.
  • The bottom ends of the above intersecting tubes and backrest tubes can achieve connections between rod members by their own structure, or achieve connections between rod members by means of brackets.
