[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a rocking support 100 for furniture, including a base 1 and a plurality of support members 2 movably connected to the base 1. The base 1 includes an upper base 11 and a lower base 12. The support members 2 include three or more lower support members 22 connected to the lower base 12 and three or more upper support members 21 connected to the upper base 11. The base 1 also includes a deflection mechanism 13 disposed between the upper base 11 and the lower base 12. The deflection mechanism 13 includes a first portion 131 connected to the lower base 12 and a second portion 132 connected to the upper base 11 and pivotable relative to the first portion 131. A receiving space 130 is formed within the deflection mechanism 13. In this embodiment, the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 together enclose the receiving space 130. The deflection mechanism 13 also includes an elastic member 133 disposed within the receiving space 130 for providing resistance when the second portion 132 deflects relative to the first portion 131.

[0025] Specifically, the deflection mechanism 13 has a rotation axis 1300, and the first part 131 includes a horizontal first rear wall 1311, a first front wall 1312 disposed opposite to the first rear wall 1311, a first inner wall 1313 near the rotation axis 1300, and a first outer wall 1314 disposed opposite to the first inner wall 1313. The first rear wall 1311, the first front wall 1312, the first inner wall 1313, and the first outer wall 1314 form a fan-shaped first receiving cavity 1310.

[0026] The second part 132 includes a second inner wall 1323 near the rotation axis 1300, a second outer wall 1324 opposite to the second inner wall 1323, a second front wall 1322 and a second rear wall 1321 that connect the second inner wall 1323 and the second outer wall 1324 respectively, and the second rear wall 1321, the second front wall 1322, the second inner wall 1323 and the second outer wall 1324 form a fan-shaped second receiving cavity 1320.

[0027] The elastic member 133 includes a front end 1332 disposed on the first front wall 1312 or the second front wall 1322 and a rear end 1331 disposed on the first rear wall 1311 or the second rear wall 1321. Specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, when the swingable support 100 is in an unloaded state, the front end 1332 of the elastic member 133 simultaneously abuts against the first front wall 1312 and the second front wall 1322, and the rear end 1331 of the elastic member 133 simultaneously abuts against the first rear wall 1311 and the second rear wall 1321. Figure 4 As shown, when the rocking bracket 100 is in the forward rocking state, the first part 131 remains stationary, and the second rear wall 1321 of the second part 132 moves toward the first front wall 1312 of the first part 131, thereby causing the second front wall 1322 of the second part 132 to be misaligned with the first front wall 1312 of the first part 131, and the second rear wall 1321 of the second part 132 to be misaligned with the first rear wall 1311 of the first part 131. At this time, the front end 1332 of the elastic member 133 abuts against the first front wall 1312, and the rear end 1331 of the elastic member 133 abuts against the second rear wall 1321. The elastic member 133 is compressed, thereby providing resistance to the deflection of the second part 132 relative to the first part 131. Figure 5 As shown, when the rocking support 100 is in the rocking-back state, the first part 131 remains stationary, and the front wall 1322 of the second part 132 moves toward the first rear wall 1311 of the first part 131. At this time, the front end 1332 of the elastic member 133 abuts against the second front wall 1322, and the rear end 1331 of the elastic member 133 abuts against the first rear wall 1311. The elastic member 133 is compressed, thereby providing resistance to the deflection of the second part 132 relative to the first part 131.

[0028] In this embodiment, the elastic element 133 is a spring, and the first receiving cavity 1310 and the second receiving cavity 1320 together form a receiving space 1300. The width of the receiving space 1300 is the same as the diameter of the spring 133, so that when the second part 132 deflects relative to the first part 131, the spring 133 will not deflect.

[0029] In other embodiments, the deflection mechanism may further include a third part disposed between the first part and the second part, and together with the first part and the second part forming a receiving space, thereby avoiding the problem of the spring getting stuck when the first part and the second part move.

[0030] Preferably, the first part 131 includes a limiting groove 1315 formed below the second rear wall 1321. When the rocking bracket 100 is in the backward rocking state, the second rear wall 1321 of the second part 132 enters the limiting groove 1315. On the other hand, the first part 131 includes a limiting portion 1316 disposed on the side of the rotation shaft 1300 opposite to the limiting groove 1315 and protruding toward the upper base 11. When the rocking bracket 100 is in the forward rocking state, the limiting portion 1316 is used to limit the angle of rotation of the second part 132 to prevent the rocking bracket 100 from tipping over.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper base 11 has an opening 110 facing the lower base 12, and the second part 132 is at least partially received in the opening 110, causing the upper base 11 to deflect relative to the first part 131, thereby achieving that the lower base 12 remains stationary while the upper base 11 swings relative to the lower base 12.

[0032] The present invention provides a rocking support for furniture, comprising a base and a plurality of support members movably connected to the base. The base includes an upper base and a lower base. The support members include three or more lower support members connected to the lower base and three or more upper support members connected to the upper base. The base also includes a deflection mechanism disposed between the upper and lower bases. The deflection mechanism includes a first portion connected to the lower base and a second portion connected to the upper base and pivotable relative to the first portion. A receiving space is formed within the deflection mechanism. The deflection mechanism also includes an elastic member disposed within the receiving space for providing resistance when the second portion deflects relative to the first portion. Utilizing the deflection mechanism having a first portion and a second portion pivotable relative to the first portion, the rocking support for furniture provided by the present invention can rock stably, improving the comfort and enjoyment of portable furniture using this support.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
