[0048] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8 , an adjustable sofa in the embodiment includes a main frame 100, a backrest frame 110 and an opposite arranged armrest frame 120, the main frame 100 is a main body frame for supporting a sofa seat (not shown in the figure), at the same time, an installation space for installing subsequent driving mechanisms, protection assemblies 130 and the like is formed in the main frame 100, and the sofa seat is the main force receiving part of the sofa. The sofa seat structure of the sofa generally has types such as rubber bandage, wooden flat plate and snake-shaped steel spring, and the sofa seat in the embodiment can adopt one of the above structures.

[0049] Among them, the backrest frame 110 is used to support the back of the user when the user sits on the sofa, and the armrest frame 120 is used to support the arms of the user when the user sits on the sofa, so as to improve the use experience of the sofa, therefore, the backrest frame 110 is arranged at the rear side of the main frame 100 along the left-right direction of the main frame 100, and the armrest frame 120 is arranged at the left and right sides of the main frame 100 along the front-rear direction of the main frame 100, thereby the backrest frame 110 and the opposite arranged armrest frame 120 form a seating part for surrounding a certain seating space on the sofa seat.

[0050] In actual use, in order to improve the comfort of the backrest frame 110 and the armrest frame 120, the backrest frame 110 and the armrest frame 120 are each covered with a medium density fiberboard, and the medium density fiberboard is padded with a sponge and a cotton cloth covered outside the two.

[0051] In the embodiment, the main frame 100 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the backrest frame 110 and the armrest frame 120 to move relative to each other to adjust the size of the seating space;

[0052] In the embodiment, the driving mechanism is arranged to adjust the movement of the backrest frame 110 along the front-rear direction of the main frame 100 and the relative movement of the armrest frame 120 along the left-right direction of the main frame 100, i.e., the relative movement between the backrest frame 110 and the armrest frame 120, so that the size of the seating space is adjusted, the sofa can adapt to users of different body types, and the applicability is improved.

[0053] In combination with Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in the existing case, the height of the backrest frame 110 is higher than that of the armrest frame 120. In actual use, in order to improve the comfort of supporting the back of the user, the two sides of the backrest frame 110 are away from the left and right sides of the main frame 100 by a certain distance. At the same time, in order to avoid a large gap between the rear side wall of the armrest frame 120 and the backrest frame 110, which is easy to cause the baby sitting on the seating part to be clamped, the two sides of the backrest frame 110 and the lower side are provided with an opening part 711 for the corresponding armrest frame 120 to extend into, so as to reduce the gap between the two.

[0054] In combination with Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment, the driving mechanism comprises a first mounting box 200 arranged along the front-rear direction of the main frame 100 and a second mounting box 210 arranged perpendicularly to the first mounting box 200 and on both sides of the first mounting box 200. In actual use, the first mounting box 200 is arranged at the center of the main frame 100 and close to the rear half side, and the second mounting box 210 is arranged on the end of the first mounting box 200 close to the center of the main frame 100. In actual use, the corresponding ends of the first mounting box 200 and the second mounting box 210 extend outward to form mounting portions 204, and the mounting portions 204 are fixed to the corresponding side walls in the main frame 100 by screws; the first mounting box 200 is provided with a first sliding cavity 201, and the second mounting box 210 is provided with a second sliding cavity 211. The first sliding cavity 201 is provided with a first screw rod 202 that can rotate, and the second sliding cavity 211 is provided with a second screw rod 212 that can rotate and has one end extending into the first sliding cavity 201. The first screw rod 202 is provided with a driving bevel gear 203, and the second screw rod 212 is provided with a driven bevel gear 213 that cooperates with the driving bevel gear 203. The first sliding cavity 201 and the second sliding cavity 211 are both provided with sliding blocks 220, the first screw rod 202 and the second screw rod 212 are arranged through the corresponding sliding blocks 220 in a threaded manner, the backrest frame 110 is arranged on the corresponding sliding blocks 220 through a first support frame 230, the armrest frame 120 is arranged on the corresponding sliding blocks 220 through a second support frame 240, and the first screw rod 202 is rotated to drive the backrest frame 110 and the armrest frame 120 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0055] Through the structure in the embodiment, the driving bevel gear 203 and the driven bevel gear 213 are arranged in meshing, so that the rotation of the first screw rod 202 can drive the second screw rods 212 on both sides to rotate synchronously. Since the first screw rod 202 and the second screw rod 212 are arranged through the corresponding sliding blocks 220 in a threaded manner, when the first screw rod 202 is rotated to drive the backrest frame 110 to move towards the front side of the main frame 100, the armrest frames 120 on both sides are driven to move closer to each other, so that the space of the seating portion gradually decreases. When the first screw rod 202 is rotated to drive the backrest frame 110 to move towards the rear side of the main frame 100, the armrest frames 120 on both sides are driven to move away from each other, so that the space of the seating portion gradually increases.

[0056] In actual use, the backrest frame 110 is fixedly installed on the corresponding sliding block 220 through the first support frame 230, and the armrest frame 120 is fixedly installed on the corresponding sliding block 220 through the second support frame 240, wherein the first support frame 230 and the second support frame 240 are both in the shape of an I-beam. Due to the movement of the first support frame 230 and the second support frame 240, the sofa seat on the upper side of the main frame 100 is divided into three parts, and a gap is reserved between adjacent sofa seats for the movement of the first support frame 230 and the second support frame 240.

[0057] In the embodiment, in order to drive the first screw rod 202 to rotate, the first mounting box 200 is provided with a motor 250 near the end of the corresponding side wall of the main frame 100. The motor 250 is connected with a gear box, and the gear box is connected with one end of the first screw rod 202, so as to realize the forward and reverse rotation of the first screw rod 202 driven by the motor 250.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8 In the embodiment, the main frame 100 is provided with a protection assembly 130 which can be accommodated in the main frame 100 and is located near the front side of the main frame 100. When the driving mechanism drives the backrest frame 110 and the armrest frame 120 to move close to each other to form the smallest seating part, the protection assembly 130 is driven to extend to the upper side of the main frame 100 to surround the seating part.

[0059] Through the structure in the embodiment, when the driving assembly drives the backrest frame 110 and the armrest frame 120 to move close to each other to form the smallest seating part, the protection assembly 130 extends to the upper side of the main frame 100 to surround the seating part, forming a surrounding space. At this time, the infant placed on the seating part is protected by using the surrounding space, so as to avoid the infant from falling down while crawling on the sofa, that is, the sofa has the function of protecting the infant.

[0060] In the embodiment, when the smallest seating part is formed, the backrest frame 110 moves to the most front side of the main frame 100, and at this time, the two armrest frames 120 move to the notch part 711 and are attached to the side wall of the notch part 711, so that the gap between the armrest frame 120 and the backrest frame 110 is minimized, thereby avoiding the infant placed on the seating part from being clamped.

[0061] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8 In the embodiment, the armrest frame 120 is further provided with a lifting assembly 140. When the protection assembly 130 extends out of the main frame 100, the lifting assembly 140 is driven to extend out of the armrest frame 120 to realize the height adjustment of the armrest frame 120. When the protection assembly 130 is retracted into the main frame 100, the lifting assembly 140 is driven to retract into the armrest frame 120.

[0062] Through the configuration in the embodiment, when the guard assembly 130 is extended to form the enclosing space, the lifting assembly 140 can be driven to extend, the height of the handrail frame 120 is adjusted, the height of the handrail frame 120 is adapted to the height of the backrest frame 110, that is, when the enclosing space is formed, the height of the side wall where the handrail frame 120 and the backrest frame 110 are located is the same, thereby reducing the risk of the baby falling when climbing on the sofa.

[0063] In combination with Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown in the drawings, in the embodiment, the guard assembly 130 includes a guard box 300, the guard box 300 is internally provided with a guard cavity with an open upper end, the left and right side walls of the guard cavity are oppositely provided with sliding grooves 301 along the height direction thereof, the guard cavity is internally provided with a liftable guard frame 310, the left and right side walls of the guard frame 310 are provided with sliding blocks 311 extended to slide in the sliding grooves 301, the guard cavity is internally provided with a first spring 620 at the left and right sides for driving the guard frame 310 to extend out of the guard cavity, the guard cavity is internally provided with a locking member at the lower side for locking the guard frame 310 in the guard cavity, and the sliding block 220 in the first sliding cavity 201 is provided with an unlocking member for unlocking the guard frame 310 by the locking member.

[0064] In the embodiment, the guard box 300 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the front side wall of the main frame 100 by means of bolts and other fasteners, and in actual use, a slot (not shown in the drawings) for the extension of the guard assembly is reserved on the side surface of the sofa seat surface close to the front side of the main frame 100, and the locking member is provided to fix the guard frame 310 in the guard cavity in the initial state, that is, the guard frame 310 is in the retracted state, so that the user can normally sit on the sofa seat surface.

[0065] The sliding groove 301, the sliding block 311, the first spring 620 and the unlocking member are provided, so that when the sliding block 220 in the first sliding cavity 201 moves to the most front side of the main frame 100, the unlocking member can unlock the fixing of the guard frame 310 by the locking member, so that the guard frame 310 extends out of the opening of the guard cavity under the action of the first spring 620, that is, the guard frame 310 extends onto the slot on the sofa seat surface, so as to surround the smallest seating part, and preferably form an enclosing space for protecting the baby placed on the seating part.

[0066] In combination with Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment, the locking member comprises a locking box 400, and a locking cavity 401 is arranged in the locking box 400. A locking block 420 is arranged in the locking cavity 401 by the second spring 410, and one end of the locking block 420 extends out of the locking box 400. A groove 421 is arranged on the side of the backrest frame 110, and the first slope 422 is arranged on the groove 421. The lower end of the protection frame 310 is arranged with a clamping block 611, and the clamping block 611 is arranged with a clamping groove 612 for the corresponding end of the locking block 420.

[0067] The unlocking member comprises an unlocking rod 221 arranged on the lower end surface of the corresponding sliding block 220, and the unlocking rod 221 extends into the corresponding groove 421 through the locking box 400 to extrude the first slope 422 and drive the locking block 420 to retract into the locking cavity 401.

[0068] In the embodiment, the locking box 400 is fixedly installed in the protection cavity, and the two ends of the locking cavity 401 are arranged with openings. The openings are arranged with plug rings 430, and the locking block 420 extends out through the corresponding plug ring 430. The side wall of the locking block 420 in the locking cavity 401 is arranged with a limiting ring 423 which is in close contact with the plug ring 430 to prevent the locking block 420 from separating from the locking cavity 401.

[0069] Through the structure in the embodiment, in the initial state, the second spring 410 drives the two locking blocks 420 to extend out of the two ends of the locking cavity 401, so that they are clamped into the corresponding clamping grooves 612. The locking of the locking member to the protection frame 310 is preferably achieved, and the protection frame 310 is fixed in the protection box 300.

[0070] The groove 421, the first slope 422 and the unlocking rod 221 are arranged, so that when the backrest frame 110 moves to the most front side of the main frame 100 to form the smallest seating part, the unlocking rod 221 is driven to extend into the groove 421 through the protection box 300 and the locking box 400, extrude the first slope 422, and drive the locking block 420 to retract into the locking cavity 401. That is, the fixation of the clamping block 611 is released, and the protection frame 310 extends out of the protection cavity under the action of the first spring 620.
