DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 12 A sofa with an electric extension structure includes an L-shaped base 10, a seat panel 2, and two side panels 3. The side panels 3 are provided on both sides of the base 10. The base 10, the seat panel 2, and the side panels 3 are all provided with cushions. The seat panel 2 is provided with an avoidance groove 201 and can move up and down between the two side panels 3; and further includes:

[0031] A headboard 4 with a soft cushion on the top is arranged between the seat board 2 and the base 10;

[0032] An auxiliary lying plate 5 is provided between the seat plate 2 and the base 10 , and an avoidance cavity 501 and a pad 502 are provided on the auxiliary lying plate 5;

[0033] An electric extension structure includes a motor 6, a gear 7, a toothed plate 8, a cam 9, and a buffer device. The motor 6 is disposed on the buffer device. The gear 7 and the cam 9 are both disposed on the output end of the motor 6. The toothed plate 8 is disposed in the avoidance cavity 501 and meshes with the gear 7.

[0034] The elastic telescopic rod 11 has one end rotatably connected to the two side walls of the avoidance groove 201.

[0035] The auxiliary support device is used to support the seat panel 2 after it moves upward between the two side panels 3 and to support one side of the auxiliary reclining panel 5. In the present invention, when the sofa needs to be unfolded, the motor 6 drives the gear 7 to rotate, and the gear 7 drives the tooth plate 8 to move leftward to make the auxiliary reclining panel 5 move leftward. When the elastic telescopic rod 11 is not in contact with the auxiliary reclining panel 5, it rotates clockwise without support and is in a vertical state. When the auxiliary reclining panel 5 is separated from the bottom of the seat panel 2, the seat panel 2 moves downward without support, driving the elastic telescopic rod 11 to move downward. The bottom of the elastic telescopic rod 11 contacts the cam 9. The cam 9 is pushed downward by the elastic telescopic rod 11 to give the motor 6 a downward thrust. The motor 6 then squeezes the buffer device, the gear 7 does not contact the tooth plate 8, the top of the seat panel 2 is flush with the top of the auxiliary reclining panel 5, and the sofa is unfolded. The auxiliary support device supports one side of the auxiliary reclining panel 5 to prevent it from tilting. When the auxiliary reclining panel 5 needs to be folded, the motor 6 drives the cam 9 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the cam 9 drives the elastic telescopic rod 11 to move upward, thereby making the seat panel 2 move upward. At this time, the gear 7 is always in contact with the tooth plate 8, causing the auxiliary lying plate 5 to move rightward and return to its original position, thereby realizing the spreading and folding of the sofa through the electric extension structure. Specifically, the motor 6 is a servo motor, and its number of rotations is set by a program, which is prior art and will not be described here; a first placement slot 401 and several second placement slots 402 are provided on the head plate 4, one end of the tooth plate 8 cooperates with the first placement slot 401, and the vertical rod 16 and the push rod 18 cooperate with the second placement slot 402; the head plate 4 acts as a pillow.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0037] In this embodiment, several sliders 202 are provided on both sides of the seat plate 2, and several first slide grooves 301 are provided on the side plate 3. The sliders 202 can slide in the first slide grooves 301, and the side plates 3 slide in the first slide grooves 301 through the sliders 202 to achieve up and down movement between the two side plates 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the buffer device includes a support plate 12, a plurality of first springs 13, and a T-shaped guide post 14. The buffer device is arranged on the base 10. The support plate 12 can slide on the guide post 14, and the first spring 13 is sleeved on the guide post 14. When the motor 6 is subjected to a downward thrust, it exerts a force on the support plate 12. The support plate 12 slides downward on the guide post 14 and compresses the first spring 13. When the motor 6 is not under force, the first spring 13 exerts a reaction force on it to return to its original position.

[0039] In this embodiment, the elastic telescopic rod 11 includes an outer tube 1101, a second spring 1102 and a T-shaped outer rod 1103. One end of the outer rod 1103 is rotatably connected to the two side walls of the avoidance groove 201, and the other end can slide in the outer tube 1101. The second spring 1102 is arranged in the outer tube 1101. Specifically, the bottom of the outer tube 1101 is arc-shaped and cooperates with the cam 9. When the outer tube 1101 is not in contact with the auxiliary lying plate 5 and rotates clockwise in a vertical state, the seat plate 2 moves downward, driving the bottom of the outer tube 1101 and the low point of the cam 9. The support plate 12 is forced to move downward and squeeze the first spring 13. When the auxiliary lying plate 5 needs to be retracted, the motor 6 drives the cam 9 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the cam 9 causes the outer tube 1101 to move upward, driving the outer rod 1103 to move upward, causing the seat plate 2 to move upward and return to its original position. The auxiliary support device fixes the seat plate 2. When the high point of the cam 9 is in contact with the seat plate 2, the seat plate 2 moves downward. After the bottom of the outer tube 1101 contacts, the cam 9 is forced to exert downward force on the support plate 12 to make it move downward, and the gear 7 disengages from the tooth plate 8. When the cam 9 rotates to the lowest point, the cam 9 does not contact the bottom of the outer tube 1101, and the support plate 12 returns to its original position. The gear 7 re-contacts the tooth plate 8, and the gear 7 drives the tooth plate 8 to move to the right. The gear 7 and the tooth plate 8 repeatedly disengage or engage, driving the tooth plate 8 to move to the right. When the outer tube 1101 is acted upon by the auxiliary lying plate 5 to the right and rotates counterclockwise back to its original position, the gear 7 and the tooth plate 8 will continue to contact until the tooth plate 8 returns to its original position.

[0040] In this embodiment, the auxiliary lying plate 5 is provided with a plurality of second sliding grooves 503, and the elastic telescopic rod 11 is provided with two slots; the auxiliary supporting device includes a plurality of third springs 15, a vertical rod 16, a horizontal rod 17 and a T-shaped push rod 18, the vertical rod 16 is provided on the push rod 18, the horizontal rod 17 is provided on the buffer device, one end of the push rod 18 can slide in the second sliding groove 503, and the third spring 15 is provided in the second sliding groove 503. Specifically, the outer tube 1101 is provided with two slots. When the auxiliary lying plate 5 moves to the left, the vertical rod 16 will contact with the horizontal rod 17 to support the vertical rod 16, and then support the right side of the auxiliary lying plate 5 after the auxiliary lying plate 5 is completely moved out. The outer tube 1101 is not in contact with the auxiliary lying plate 5 and rotates clockwise to contact the push rod 18. The push rod 18 is subjected to the thrust of the outer tube 1101 to squeeze the third spring 15. When the motor 6 drives the cam 9 to rotate in the opposite direction, the rotation of the cam 9 causes the outer tube 1101 to rotate. 01 moves upward, and after the seat plate 2 returns to its original position, the outer tube 1101 is squeezed by the second spring 1102 due to the upward movement of the cam 9, and one end of the push rod 18 falls into the slot. When the cam 9 rotates to the lowest point, the cam 9 does not contact the outer tube 1101, and the second spring 1102 exerts force on the outer tube 1101 to make it return to its original position. One end of the push rod 18 contacts the upper wall of the slot, and then supports the outer tube 1101 so that the seat plate 2 does not move downward, and when the auxiliary lying plate 5 moves to the right, it does not hit the seat plate 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, a slot 801 is provided on the tooth plate 8; it also includes an L-shaped insertion rod 19, which is arranged on the elastic telescopic rod 11. After the outer tube 1101 moves downward, it drives the insertion rod 19 to move downward. The insertion rod 19 cooperates with the slot 801, so that the auxiliary lying plate 5 will not move left and right after being moved out.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.
