DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent that the embodiments described are only some, not all, of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Combined with attachment Figure 1-11As shown, a forward-moving reclining chair frame includes a base 1, a backrest frame 2, a seat frame 3, a push rod and a rocker arm 5; the base 1 is provided with a first guide rail 11 and a second guide rail 12, the first guide rail 11 is arranged along a first direction, and the second guide rail 12 is arranged at an angle relative to the first guide rail 11; the push rod includes a guide rod 41 and a slider 42, one end of the guide rod 41 is hinged to the base 1, and the slider 42 is reciprocatingly slidably arranged on the guide rod 41, the seat frame 3 is used for a user to sit on, and the slider 42 is hinged to the first hinge point a of the seat frame 3;

[0027] The backrest frame 2 includes a buttocks guide portion 21 and a backrest portion 22 , wherein the backrest portion 22 is arranged corresponding to the user's waist and back; the seat frame 3 is located above the buttocks guide portion 21 ; and the width of the backrest frame 2 is narrower than that of the seat frame 3 .

[0028] The seat frame 3 is provided with a first roller 31, and the backrest portion 22 is provided with a second roller 221. The first roller 31 slides back and forth in the first guide rail 11, and the second roller 221 reciprocates in the second guide rail 12. The backrest frame 2 also includes a backrest support rod 23, one end of which is fixed to the backrest portion 22, and the second roller 221 is provided at the bottom end of the backrest support rod 23.

[0029] The upper end of the swing link 5 is hinged to the second hinge point b of the seat frame 3, the lower end of the swing link 5 is hinged to the base 1, and the backrest frame 2 intersects with the third hinge point c of the seat frame 3, so that the seat frame 3 is located above the buttocks guide portion 21 and in front of the backrest portion 22, and the first hinge point a, the second hinge point b, and the third hinge point c are spaced apart from each other;

[0030] The slider 42 is driven to slide on the guide rod 41 along the backrest 22 toward the hip guide portion 21, pulling the upper end of the rocker arm 5 to swing from the backrest 22 toward the hip guide portion 21, driving the first roller 31 on the seat frame 3 on the first guide rail 11 and the second roller 221 on the backrest 22 on the second guide rail 12 along the backrest 22 toward the hip guide portion 21, so that the seat frame 3 and the backrest frame 2 move forward while the backrest frame 2 rotates relative to the seat frame 3.

[0031] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the rocker arm 5, the seat frame 3 and the first guide rail 11 form a first crank slider mechanism. Figure 4As shown, the rocker arm 5, the seat frame 3, the first guide rail 11, the backrest frame 22 and the second guide rail 12 constitute a second crank slider mechanism, that is, the first crank slider mechanism serves as the crank driving force of the second crank slider mechanism. The second crank slider mechanism is a compound motion, and the shape and motion trajectory of the first crank slider mechanism are different from those of the second crank slider mechanism.

[0032] In other words, the forward-moving reclining chair frame is realized by two sets of crank slider mechanisms. The first set of crank slider mechanisms controls the forward sliding of the seat frame, and the second set of crank sliders controls the forward sliding of the backrest. An additional set of guide rails is added to control the forward sliding of the backrest. The two sets of crank sliders separately control the seat frame and the backrest, realizing the movement of the seat frame and the backrest, thereby realizing the function of the chair frame sliding forward and reclining backward, that is, a technology of completely zero leaning against the wall in a forward sliding manner can be realized. At the same time, the seat frame position is also tilted backward, and the tilting angle of the backrest is greater than the tilting angle of the seat frame, realizing the process of different angle changes of the backrest and the seat frame. The most critical part is that the second set of crank slider mechanisms uses the first set of crank slider mechanisms as the driving force, and after superposition, the backrest is realized. The seat frame is moved forward and backward in a limited manner by a rocker bar connected between the two sets of crank sliders. In this way, a single push rod drives the two sets of crank slider mechanisms to move in conjunction, reducing costs while maintaining a stable and reliable structure and simple installation, providing a user-friendly massage experience.

[0033] Furthermore, in one example, Figure 5 As shown, the heights of the second hinge point b and the third hinge point c are both higher than the height of the first hinge point a, and the second hinge point b is higher than the third hinge point c. Thus, when the slider 42 is driven to slide on the guide rod 41 along the backrest 22 toward the buttocks guide portion 21, the seat frame 3 and the backrest frame 2 move forward, the backrest 22 reclines, and the front end of the seat frame 3 is lifted. This increases the angle between the seat frame 3 and the backrest 22. This allows the user to lie more comfortably after the chair frame reclines, improving massage comfort.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the seat frame can be positioned above the buttocks guide portion of the backrest frame in any position. This provides space for the massage mechanism to move below the seat frame when used as a massage chair, massaging the user's thighs and buttocks. This improves comfort while achieving zero-gravity and zero-wall support.

[0035] Furthermore, in another example, Figure 7-10As shown, the connection position of the upper end of the rocker arm 5 can be changed and the chair frame can also be moved forward and backward. Specifically, the upper end of the rocker arm 5 is hinged to the fourth hinge point d of the backrest frame 2, the lower end of the rocker arm 5 is hinged to the base 1, and the third hinge point c of the seat frame 3 is hinged to the rear end of the hip guide portion 21. The height of the fourth hinge point d and the height of the third hinge point c are both higher than the height of the first hinge point a. In this way, the slider 42 is driven to slide on the guide rod 41 along the backrest 22 toward the hip guide portion 21, driving the first roller 31 on the seat frame 3 on the first guide rail 11 and the second roller 221 on the backrest 22 on the second guide rail 12 along the backrest 22 toward the hip guide portion 21. At the same time, the upper end of the rocker arm 5 is pulled to swing from the backrest 22 toward the hip guide portion 21, so that when the chair frame moves forward and backward, the angle between the seat frame 3 and the backrest 22 becomes larger, as shown in FIG. Figure 11 shown.

[0036] As you can see, the second design is very similar to the first, differing only in the location of the upper hinge of the swing arm. The first is hinged to the seat frame, while the second is hinged to the backrest frame. The arc of travel changes accordingly, but the general principles remain essentially the same: both offer zero-wall, zero-gravity functionality.

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the first guide rail 11 is arranged horizontally, and the lowest end of the second guide rail 12 is higher than the first guide rail 11. The base 1 is also provided with a first vertical rod 13, a second vertical rod 14 and a third vertical rod 15 at intervals in sequence, and the heights of the first vertical rod 13, the second vertical rod 14 and the third vertical rod 15 are increased in sequence;

[0038] The first guide rail 11 is horizontally disposed on the first vertical rod 13 and the second vertical rod 14 . The second guide rail 12 is obliquely disposed on the second vertical rod 14 and the third vertical rod 15 and is higher than the first guide rail 11 .

[0039] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the base 1 is provided with an ear seat 16, which is disposed between the second vertical rod 14 and the third vertical rod 15 and is close to the third vertical rod 15. The lower end of the swing arm 5 is hingedly connected to the ear seat 16. By providing the ear seat at a certain height, the lifting angle of the front end of the seat frame can be increased accordingly, thereby improving the user's riding comfort and preventing the user from being ejected from the seat during massage.

[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the chair also includes a calf support and a calf push rod. One end of the calf push rod is hinged to the front end of the base, and the other end is hinged to the calf support. The calf support is hinged to the front end of the seat frame. The calf push rod drives the calf support to rise and fall. This allows the calf support to be repeatedly raised and lowered when the chair frame is reclined, stretching the leg and abdominal muscles and achieving a massage effect. Because the calf support can use a standard structure in the industry, it is not shown in the figure.

[0041] The installation structure and working principle of the chair frame according to the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the chair frame scheme of the present application includes a base 1, a backrest frame 2, a seat frame 3, a push rod, a rocker arm 5 and a calf; the base 1 is provided with a first guide rail 11 and a second guide rail 12, the first guide rail 11 is arranged horizontally, the second guide rail 12 is arranged inclined relative to the first guide rail 11, and the height of the second guide rail 12 is slightly higher than the first guide rail 11; the push rod includes a guide rod 41 and a slider 42, one end of the guide rod 41 is hinged to the base 1, and the slider 42 is arranged on the guide rod 41 for reciprocating sliding, wherein the seat frame 1 is provided with three hinge points and two sets of guide rails, the slider 42 is hinged to the first hinge point a of the seat frame 1, the upper end of the rocker arm 5 is hinged to the seat frame 3 at the second hinge point b, the seat frame 3 slides in the first guide rail 11, and the rocker arm 5, the seat frame 3 and the first guide rail 11 constitute a first crank slider mechanism. The backrest frame 2 is first hinged to the third hinge point c of the seat frame 3, forming a rotational motion with the seat frame 3, and the other end slides in the second set of slide rails. The second set of crank sliders uses the first set of crank sliders as cranks and is driven by the first set of crank sliders to form a second set of crank slider mechanisms. After the seat frame 3 is driven, the first set of crank sliders begins to move, and the backrest frame 2 is linked to reciprocate in the second guide rail 12 and rotates at the third hinge point c, achieving a movement process in which the front end of the seat frame is upward, the backrest frame is backward, and the entire frame slides forward. As the chair frame moves forward and backward, the angle between the seat frame and the backrest increases. The crank slider mechanism used in this solution has a working principle of sliding forward when the rocker arm swings.

[0043] Specifically, the length of the pin when installing the first roller 31 is greater than the length of the pin when installing the second roller 221, so that the width of the backrest frame 2 can be adapted to be narrower than the width of the seat frame 3, and the sliding movement of the first roller 31 and the second roller 221 in the first guide rail 11 and the second guide rail 12 respectively is not affected.

[0044] In addition, the calf part can be driven independently or in a linkage manner when the backrest is reversed. This is a common technical structure in this field and will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, this is the process of chair frame movement, the backrest slides forward and reclines at the same time, and the seat frame tilts upward in the final stage.

[0046] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a massage chair, comprising the aforementioned forward-moving reclining chair frame, wherein the backrest frame is provided with a guide rail 55, and a reciprocating massage mechanism (not shown) is provided on the guide rail 55. The massage mechanism is provided with a massage swing arm, which can extend in a direction away from the massage mechanism. When the massage mechanism moves to the buttocks guide portion, the massage swing arm can extend to a position close to or above the seat frame to massage the user.

[0047] Also included is a control device 66 that controls the massage mechanism and the push rod movement.

[0048] In other words, the massage chair provided by the embodiment of the present invention is implemented by two sets of crank slider mechanisms. The first set of crank slider mechanisms controls the forward sliding of the buttocks guide portion, and the second set of crank sliders controls the forward sliding of the backrest. An additional set of guide rails is added to control the forward sliding of the backrest. The two sets of crank sliders separately control the seat frame and backrest, enabling the seat frame and backrest to move independently, thereby achieving the function of the chair frame sliding forward and backward, that is, a completely zero-wall-relative-to-forward sliding technology. At the same time, the seat frame position is also tilted backward, and the tilting angle of the backrest is greater than the tilting angle of the seat frame, achieving the process of different angle changes of the backrest and the seat frame. The most critical point is that the second set of crank sliders uses the first set of crank sliders as the driving force, and after superposition, the backrest is linked. The seat frame is limited to forward and backward movement by a rocker rod connected between the two sets of crank sliders. In this way, a single push rod drives the two sets of crank slider mechanisms to link, reducing costs while maintaining a stable and reliable structure and simple installation, providing a user-friendly massage experience.

[0049] Although the preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art may make additional changes and modifications to these embodiments once they have learned the basic creative concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present application.

[0050] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of this application fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application is intended to include these modifications and variations.
