Abstract

An armrest frame capable of being collapsed conveniently is provided. The armrest frame capable of being collapsed conveniently includes an armrest frame set, scissor sets, and a locking unit, where the scissor sets are provided between the armrest frames, the scissor sets drive the armrest frames to move close to or away from each other, the scissor sets each include crisscross hinged scissor arms, and two ends of each of the scissor arms are respectively hinged to the corresponding armrest frames. The armrest frame set is used to replace the existing fixed wood frame or metal frame. In the armrest frame set, one armrest frame is fixed, while the other armrest frame is movable. The movable armrest frame can move relative to the fixed armrest frame through the scissor set, such that an armrest of a sofa can be expanded or collapsed.
