Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of furniture manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an integrated headrest and lumbar support bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Sofas and chairs are common household and office furnishings. As people's living standards gradually improve, the demands for comfort and functionality in sofas and chairs are increasing to address fatigue caused by prolonged sitting and to better relax the body. To enhance comfort, many existing sofas feature headrest and lumbar support adjustments. These adjustments involve an adjustable headrest at the top of the backrest and an adjustable lumbar support in the middle. A motor drives the movement of these components, allowing the sofa to be adjusted to its most comfortable position. The headrest and lumbar support mechanism is the core mechanical component of the backrest in a multi-functional sofa.

[0003] Currently, existing technologies use vertical downward pressure from a single point to adjust the headrest, but this method has drawbacks such as poor user experience and a certain degree of pressure. Furthermore, existing sofa backrests with both lumbar and head adjustment functions generally have complex structures, resulting in wider and larger backrest frames. This not only takes up more space during transportation, increasing transportation costs, but also makes the sofa bulky and takes up more room, affecting its overall appearance.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses an integrated headrest and lumbar support bracket, which mainly includes a head adjustment component 1, a lumbar adjustment component 2, and a bracket body 3; the bracket body 3 of this embodiment is mainly composed of a left fixed side plate and a right fixed side plate.

[0031] The head adjustment assembly 1 in this embodiment includes a first drive mechanism 111, a first connecting crossbar 112, a second connecting crossbar 113, a pair of first connectors 12, a pair of second connectors 13, a pair of headrest connectors 14, and a pair of third connectors 15; the first drive assembly 11 is composed of the first drive mechanism 111, the first connecting crossbar 112, and the second connecting crossbar 113.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the first connector 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the third connector 15, and the other end of the first connector 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the headrest connector 14.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the second connector 13 is rotatably connected to the other end of the third connector 15, and the other end of the second connector 13 is hinged to the upper end of the headrest connector 14.

[0034] In this configuration, one end of the first connector 12 is positioned behind the position of one end of the second connector 13 on the third connector 15, with the top of the headrest as the front and the opposite direction as the back.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the first connector 12 and the second connector 13 are arc-shaped connectors, and the arc direction of the first connector 12 is opposite to that of the second connector 13. In some embodiments, the arc direction of the first connector 12 can be set downwards, and the arc direction of the second connector 13 can be set upwards. When the head adjustment assembly 1 is adjusted to its initial state, the distance between the highest point of the first connector 12 and the lowest point of the second connector 13 is as short as possible to ensure that the overall width of the bracket is narrow.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 111 is disposed between the left fixed side plate and the right fixed side plate. That is, pairs of first connecting members 12, pairs of second connecting members 13, pairs of headrest connecting members 14, and pairs of third connecting members 15 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the first drive mechanism 111. Specifically, one end of the first connecting crossbar 112 is fixed to one first connecting member 12, and the other end of the first connecting crossbar 112 is fixed to another first connecting member 12. One end of the second connecting crossbar 113 is fixed to the left fixed side plate, and the other end of the second connecting crossbar 113 is fixed to the right fixed side plate. A first hinge seat 114 is provided on the first connecting crossbar 112, and a second hinge seat 115 is provided on the second connecting crossbar 113. In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 111 is a first electric push rod, and the motor in the first electric push rod is hinged to the second hinge seat 115 on the second connecting crossbar 113. The push rod in the first electric push rod is hinged to the first hinge seat 114 on the first connecting crossbar 112. The first electric push rod drives the first connecting member 12 to move, thereby driving the head adjustment assembly 11 to adjust up and down.

[0037] When the push rod in the first electric push rod extends, it drives the first connecting piece 12 to move forward and downward, thereby causing the entire head adjustment assembly to lift up.

[0038] When the entire head adjustment assembly needs to be retracted, the push rod in the first electric push rod retracts, restoring the entire head adjustment assembly to its initial state. To facilitate the retraction of the head adjustment assembly, the head adjustment assembly also includes a spring, one end of which is connected to the second connector 13, and the other end of which is connected to the support body 3.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5, this embodiment discloses an integrated headrest and lumbar support bracket, which mainly includes a head adjustment component 1, a lumbar adjustment component 2, and a bracket body 3; the bracket body 3 of this embodiment is mainly composed of a left fixed side plate and a right fixed side plate.

[0041] The head adjustment assembly 1 of this embodiment includes a first drive mechanism 111, a first connecting crossbar 112, a second connecting crossbar 113, a pair of first connectors 12, a pair of second connectors 13, a pair of headrest connectors 14, and a pair of third connectors 15; the first drive assembly 11 is formed by the first drive mechanism 111, the first connecting crossbar 112, and the second connecting crossbar 113. One end of the first connector 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the third connector 15, and the other end of the first connector 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the headrest connector 14. One end of the second connector 13 is rotatably connected to the other end of the third connector 15, and the other end of the second connector 13 is hinged to the upper end of the headrest connector 14. The position of one end of the first connector 12 on the third connector 15 is further back than the position of one end of the second connector 13 on the third connector 15, with the direction of the top of the headrest considered forward and the opposite direction considered backward.

[0042] In this embodiment, both the first connector 12 and the second connector 13 are arc-shaped connectors, and the arc direction of the first connector 12 is opposite to that of the second connector 13. In some embodiments, the arc direction of the first connector 12 can be set downwards, and the arc direction of the second connector 13 can be set upwards. When the head adjustment assembly 1 is adjusted to its initial state, the distance between the highest point of the first connector 12 and the lowest point of the second connector 13 is as short as possible to ensure that the overall width of the bracket is narrow.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 111 is disposed between the left fixed side plate and the right fixed side plate. That is, pairs of first connecting members 12, pairs of second connecting members 13, pairs of headrest connecting members 14, and pairs of third connecting members 15 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the first drive mechanism 111. Specifically, one end of the first connecting crossbar 112 is fixed to one first connecting member 12, and the other end of the first connecting crossbar 112 is fixed to another first connecting member 12. One end of the second connecting crossbar 113 is fixed to the left fixed side plate, and the other end of the second connecting crossbar 113 is fixed to the right fixed side plate. A first hinge seat 114 is provided on the first connecting crossbar 112, and a second hinge seat 115 is provided on the second connecting crossbar 113. In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 111 is a first electric push rod, the motor of which is hinged to the second hinge seat 115 on the second connecting crossbar 113. The push rod of the first electric push rod is hinged to the first hinge seat 114 on the first connecting crossbar 112, and the first electric push rod drives the first connecting member 12 to move, thereby driving the head adjustment assembly 11 to adjust up and down. When the push rod of the first electric push rod extends, it drives the first connecting member 12 to move forward and downward, thereby driving the entire head adjustment assembly to lift. When it is necessary to retract the entire head adjustment assembly, the push rod of the first electric push rod retracts, so that the entire head adjustment assembly can return to its initial state. In order to facilitate the restoration of the head adjustment assembly, the head adjustment assembly also includes a spring, one end of which is connected to the second connecting member 13, and the other end of which is connected to the support body 3.

[0044] The waist adjustment assembly 2 in this embodiment includes a waist support plate 21, a second drive mechanism 221, a third connecting crossbar 222, a fourth connecting crossbar 223, and a pair of third connecting members 23; the second drive assembly 22 is composed of the second drive mechanism 221, the third connecting crossbar 222, and the fourth connecting crossbar 223.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure 5, a protrusion 31 is fixed on the inner side of the support body 3. In this embodiment, the third connecting crossbar 222 is disposed between the two third connecting members 23. Specifically, the third connecting crossbar 222 in this embodiment is a square tube with a square hole at one end of the third connecting member 23. One end of the third connecting crossbar 222 passes through the square hole of the third connecting member 23 and is rotatably connected to the protrusion 31. The third connecting crossbar 222 is connected to the second driving mechanism 221, and the second driving mechanism 221 drives the third connecting crossbar 222 to move up and down. The third connecting crossbar 222 drives the third connecting member 23, and the third connecting member 23 drives the waist support plate 21. A third hinge seat 224 is provided on the third connecting crossbar 222.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fourth connecting crossbar 223 is disposed between the left fixed side plate and the right fixed side plate. Specifically, one end of the fourth connecting crossbar 223 is fixed to the left fixed side plate, and the other end of the fourth connecting crossbar 223 is fixed to the right fixed side plate. A fourth hinge seat 225 is provided on the fourth connecting crossbar 223.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second drive mechanism 221 may be a second electric push rod, the motor of which is hinged to the fourth hinge seat 225 on the fourth connecting crossbar 223. The push rod of the second electric push rod is hinged to the third hinge seat 224 on the third connecting crossbar 222. The second drive mechanism 221 drives the third connecting crossbar 222 to move up and down, thereby causing the waist adjustment component 2 to adjust up and down.

[0048] In this embodiment, the lumbar support plate 21 is positioned between the two third connectors 23. In some embodiments, the lumbar support plate 21 has an arc-shaped design, which can better conform to the waistline and increase the comfort of lumbar support. To facilitate the restoration of the lumbar adjustment component 2, the lumbar adjustment component 2 also includes a spring, one end of which is connected to the support body 3, and the other end of which is connected to the third connector 23.

[0049] In this embodiment, the head adjustment assembly 1 and the support body 3 adopt a split structure. Specifically, a support member 32 is provided on the inner side of the support body 3. The support member 32 is used to fix the fourth connecting crossbar 223 to the support body 3. The third connecting member 15 is fixedly connected to the support body 3 by being fixedly connected to the fourth connecting crossbar 223. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the third connecting member 15 is not directly connected to the support body 3, and there is a certain distance between the third connecting member 15 and the inner side of the support body 3. This split structure can greatly improve assembly efficiency.
