[0023] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0024] As shown in the figure, the lifting berth bed of the present invention is mainly composed of a bed frame 1 and a connecting rod assembly. There are two groups of connecting rod assemblies, which are respectively located at both ends of the bed frame 1 and symmetrically arranged on the left and right. Each group of connecting rod assemblies includes an upper connecting rod assembly 2 and a lower connecting rod assembly 3. In order to reduce the influence of the setting of the lifting mechanism on the length of the bed frame 1, the upper connecting rod assembly 2 and the lower connecting rod assembly 3 are connected by an intermediate plate 6. Specifically, the bottom of the lower connecting rod assembly 3 is hinged at the end of the bed frame 1, and the top is hinged to the lower side of the intermediate plate 6. The lower connecting rod assembly 3, the intermediate plate 6, and the bed frame 1 form a parallelogram four-bar structure. The bottom of the upper connecting rod assembly 2 is hinged to the upper side of the intermediate plate 6, and the top is connected to the internal fixed structure of the vehicle such as a wall or a roof through a bracket 5. The upper connecting rod assembly 2, the bracket 5, and the intermediate plate 6 form a parallelogram four-bar structure. By setting the intermediate plate 6, the upper and lower connecting rod assemblies are in the same plane to ensure the available length of the bed frame. The length of the middle plate 6 is smaller than the width of the bed frame 1 . When the bed frame is folded, the length of the upper and lower connecting rod assemblies is smaller than the width of the bed frame 1 , and the upper and lower connecting rod assemblies can be hidden at both ends of the bed frame 1 .
[0025] The upper connecting rod assembly 2 includes connecting rods 21 and 22. The two ends of the connecting rod 21 are respectively hinged to the support 5 and the middle plate 6 through the pin shaft I. The two ends of the connecting rod 22 are respectively hinged to the support 5 and the middle plate 6 through the pin shaft II. The two pin shafts I and the two pin shafts II form a parallelogram four-bar structure. When the connecting rods 21 and 22 rotate around the support 5, the middle plate 6 rises and falls. The pin shafts I and the pin shafts II are staggered in the height direction. The lower connecting rod assembly 3 includes connecting rods 31 and 32. Similarly, the two ends of the connecting rod 31 are respectively hinged to the support 5 and the middle plate 6 through the pin shaft III. The two ends of the connecting rod 32 are respectively hinged to the support 5 and the middle plate 6 through the pin shaft IV. The two pin shafts III and the two pin shafts IV form a parallelogram four-bar structure. The pin shafts III and the pin shafts IV are staggered in the height direction. The staggered direction of the pins I and II is opposite to the staggered direction of the pins II and IV. For example, the pin I at the top of the connecting rod 21 is higher than the pin II at the top of the connecting rod 22. Contrary to the upper connecting rod assembly 2, the pin III at the top of the connecting rod 31 is lower than the pin IV at the top of the connecting rod 32. This arrangement makes installation space for the synchronization structure between the upper connecting rod assembly 2 and the lower connecting rod assembly 3.
[0026] by Figure 3 Taking the left side in the middle as an example, the connecting rod 21 is located on the outside of the connecting rod 22, and the connecting rod 31 is located on the outside of the connecting rod 32. The specific setting of the synchronization structure is: the bottom end of the connecting rod 21 hinged to the middle plate 6 extends to the other side of the pin I to form a first extension part 211, and the top of the connecting rod 31 hinged to the middle plate 6 extends to the other side of the pin III to form a second extension part 311. The first extension part 211 and the second extension part 311 are passed through a synchronization plate 61, that is, the first extension part 211 and one end of the synchronization plate 61 are hinged by the pin V, and the second extension part 311 and the other end of the synchronization plate 61 are hinged by the pin VI. By setting the synchronization plate 61, the upper connecting rod assembly 2 and the lower connecting rod assembly 3 located on both sides of the middle plate 6 can move synchronously, and the bed frame remains stable during the lifting process.
[0027] A first concave portion is provided on one side of the synchronization plate 61. When the berth bed is in an upward folding state, the first concave portion is used to avoid the pin I at the bottom of the connecting rod 21. A second concave portion is provided on the other side of the synchronization plate 61. When the height of the berth bed is lowered when it is unfolded, the second concave portion is used to avoid the pin III at the top of the connecting rod 31. After the first concave portion and the second concave portion are set, the synchronization plate 6 is approximately Z-shaped.
[0028] The connecting rods 31 and 32 are bent at the top inside the pins III and IV to optimize the force and ensure the bearing performance of the connecting rods 31 and 32. At the same time, the bending is set so that when the berth bed is closed, the distance between the connecting rods 21 and 22 can be reduced as much as possible, so that the connecting rods 21 and 22 can overlap in the width direction. At the same time, the thickness of the bed frame 1 itself is similar to the thickness / height of the connecting rods 31 and 32 after folding, so as to reduce the thickness / height of the folded berth bed. With the connecting line of the top of the pin V and the connecting rod 31 and the hinge pin III of the middle plate 6 as the reference line, when the berth bed is unfolded or folded, the pin VI is located on the same side of the reference line to avoid the berth bed from getting stuck during the lifting process.
[0029] There is a synchronization rod 4 between the supports 5 at both ends of the bed frame. The synchronization rod 4 is rotatably connected to the supports 5. The synchronization rod 4 extends into the two ends of the supports 5 and is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod 22. Specifically, the synchronization rod 4 and the top pin II of the connecting rod 22 are coaxial. The two ends of the synchronization rod 4 are provided with a shaft 43 (not shown) with a polygonal cross section. The step member 41 is connected to the synchronization rod 4 through the shaft 43. The side of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the synchronization member 41. When the connecting rod 22 rotates around the pin, the synchronization rod 4 is driven to rotate through the synchronization member 41, and the rotation of one end of the bed frame 1 is transmitted to the other end of the bed frame 1, ensuring that the bed frame 1 will not be unbalanced during the up and down movement. The synchronization member 41 is a bent member to avoid the pin II.
[0030] A second synchronization rod 8 is provided inside the bed frame 1. The bottoms of the connecting rods 32 at both ends of the bed frame 1 are connected to the second synchronization rod 8 through a square shaft or a polygonal shaft. When the connecting rod 32 at one end rotates, the movement synchronization of the two ends of the bed frame 1 is achieved.
[0031] The two ends of the first synchronization rod 4 are also connected to the lever 42 through the shaft 43. The bracket 5 is hinged with an elastic member 7. The elastic member 7 includes a sleeve 71 and a shaft 72. There is a spring (not shown) between the shaft 72 and the sleeve. The shaft 72 can slide along the sleeve 71 to compress the spring. The lever 42 and the shaft 72 are hinged. When the first synchronization rod 4 rotates, the lever 42 is driven to rotate to compress or release the spring. The elastic member 7 overcomes the deadweight of the frame, which is convenient for manual lifting of the bed. During the lifting process of the berth bed, the stability is ensured. By setting the first synchronization rod 4 and the elastic member 7, the elastic member 7 is installed in the lateral direction of the bracket 5, which helps to reduce the thickness / height of the berth bed after folding, and avoids the elastic member affecting the folding of the upper connecting rod assembly 2 and the lower connecting rod assembly 3. A cover is provided on the bracket 5, and the cover shields the elastic member 7 and the top pin of the upper connecting rod assembly 2.
