The second support 72 is fitted in the second support mounting groove 41 of the fixed plate 4. When in a lying position, it limits the relative position of the third link 7, the first link 5, and the rear of the seat mounting plate 1. The seat mounting plate limiting structure 11 cooperates with the first link 5 and is used to support and limit the rear load of the seat mounting plate 1 in TV and lying positions.
[0018] The backrest mounting rod 2 of this application is also provided with a backrest limiting structure 21. The backrest limiting structure 21 cooperates with the Ω-shaped support edge 31 of the backrest support rod 3 and always fits the Ω-shaped support edge 31 during the state change process, which helps to position the relative position of the backrest mounting rod 2 and the backrest support rod 3.
[0019] In this application, the first link 5 is L-shaped. When in the TV position or reclining position, the line connecting the center point of the seat mounting plate limit 11 and the center point of the hinge axis 71 of the third link is approximately located in the middle of the vertical section of the L-shape, which is beneficial for supporting the rear load of the seat mounting plate 1.

[0022] The main work process of this application is as follows:
[0023] In the seated position, if the user wants to adjust to the TV position, they only need to push the armrests (not shown in the figure, the armrests are mounted on the fixed plate 4) with both hands and lean back, causing the seat mounting plate 1 to move backward until the seat mounting plate limiting structure 11 contacts the first connecting rod 5 and is located above its front, thus entering the TV position, see Figures 1 to 3. When the user wants to adjust to the reclining position from the TV position, they press their back against the upper part of the backrest mounting rod 2, causing the backrest mounting rod 2 to tilt backward and downward around the seat backrest hinge axis 12, and the seat mounting plate 1 moves backward and upward until the second support 72 moves upward to the upper part of the second support mounting groove 41 and cannot move further, thus entering the reclining position, see Figure 5. When returning from a reclining position to a TV position, the user simply holds onto the armrests with both hands, releasing the pressure on the backrest mounting rod 2. The body pressure causes the seat mounting plate 1, the second link 6, and the third link 7 to move downwards until the second support 72 is positioned under the second support mounting groove 41, supporting the second link 6, thus returning to the TV position. When changing from the TV position to a sitting position, the user hooks their feet onto the footrest mounting piece 87, holds onto the armrests for support, and retracts the leg assembly 8 until the leg assembly limit 841 contacts the leg link 81, returning to the sitting position. This prevents the hinge structure from pressing against the sofa cushion in practical applications, thus avoiding damage to the sofa cushion.
