As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0030] It should also be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-3 This invention provides a manual vertical lifting mechanism, comprising: a first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1 and a second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2 sharing a common transmission link 3, and a locking mechanism 4 for locking the first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1 in multiple positions. The transmission link 3 is provided with two first rotation centers 31 in the same vertical direction; The first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1 includes a first lifting link 11 that is rotatably connected to the transmission link 3; The second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2 includes a support member 23, on which two second rotation centers 231 are arranged in the same vertical direction. The distance between the two first rotation centers 31 and the distance between the two second rotation centers 231 are the same. Rotating the first lifting link 11 causes the transmission link 3 to move vertically via the first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1, and the transmission link 3 causes the support member 23 to move vertically via the second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, a manual vertical lifting mechanism utilizes two sets of parallelogram transmission mechanisms to lift the support member 23 upwards. Due to the special structure of the parallelogram, the parallel sides always remain parallel. Therefore, in this embodiment, the transmission link 3 is set along the vertical direction. When the first lifting link 11 rotates, the first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1 can drive the transmission link 3 to move in the vertical direction. Similarly, the transmission link 3 drives the support member 23 to move in the vertical direction through the second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2, thereby realizing the movement of the support member 23 in the vertical direction.

[0033] When the sofa armrests or the entire sofa are fixed to the support member 23, the sofa armrests or the entire sofa can be pulled upwards, causing them to move vertically upwards. The support member 23 moves vertically, and the support member 23 drives the transmission link 3 to move vertically upwards through the second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2. The transmission link 3 causes the first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1 to deform. When it is raised to a specific height, the locking mechanism 4 can lock the first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1, thereby locking the entire mechanism.

[0034] This embodiment utilizes two sets of parallelogram transmission mechanisms to lift the support member 23 upwards, and in conjunction with the locking mechanism 4, achieves the vertical lifting action of the sofa body or sofa armrests. This embodiment employs a completely mechanical structure, featuring structural stability and ease of use.

[0035] In this embodiment, specifically, the first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1 further includes a fixing member 13 and a second lifting link 12; the fixing member 13 is provided with a first fixing center 131 and a second fixing center 132; The first lifting link 11 is provided with a first lifting center 111 and a second lifting center 112; the first lifting center 111 is coaxially engaged with the first fixed center 131, and the second lifting center 112 is coaxially engaged with one of the first rotation centers 31 of the transmission link 3. The second lifting link 12 is provided with a third lifting center 121 and a fourth lifting center 122. The third lifting center 121 and the second fixed center 132 are coaxially engaged. The fourth lifting center 122 is coaxially engaged with another first rotation center 31 of the transmission link 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first lifting link 11, the second lifting link 12, the transmission link 3, and the fixing member 13 cooperate to form the first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1. The first fixed center 131 cooperates with the first lifting center 111 to form the first hinge point A; the second fixed center 132 cooperates with the third lifting center 121 to form the second hinge point B; the fourth lifting center 122 cooperates with one of the first rotation centers 31 of the transmission link 3 to form the third hinge point C; and the other first transmission center 31 cooperates with the second lifting center 112 to form the fourth hinge point D. The first hinge point A, the second hinge point B, the third hinge point C, and the fourth hinge point D constitute the four hinge points of the first parallelogram transmission mechanism 1. The first hinge point A and the second hinge point B are arranged along the same vertical direction, and the third hinge point C and the fourth hinge point D are also arranged along the same vertical direction.

[0037] In this embodiment, for ease of assembly, the first lifting center 111, the second lifting center 112, the third lifting center 121, the fourth lifting center 122, the first fixing center 131, the second fixing center 132, and the two first rotation centers 31 are all configured as through holes on their respective components, and are coaxially rotated and connected by rotating shafts.

[0038] In a further embodiment, the second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2 further includes a first driven link 21 and a second driven link 22; The first driven link 21 is provided with a first driven center 211 and a second driven center 212; the first driven center 211 is coaxially engaged with one of the second rotation centers 231 of the support member 23; the second driven center 212 is coaxially engaged with one of the first rotation centers 31 of the transmission link 3; The second driven link 22 is provided with a third driven center 221 and a fourth driven center 222. The third driven center 221 is coaxially engaged with another second rotation center 231 of the support member 23; the fourth driven center 222 is coaxially engaged with another first rotation center 31 of the transmission link 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first driven link 21, the second driven link 22, the support member 23, and the transmission link 3 cooperate to form the second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2. The first driven center 211 cooperates with one of the rotation centers 231 of the support member 23 to form the fifth hinge point E; the third driven center 221 cooperates coaxially with the other second rotation center 231 of the support member 23 to form the sixth hinge point F; the second driven center 212, the fourth lifting center 122 cooperates with one of the first rotation centers 31 of the transmission link 3 to form the third hinge point C; the fourth driven center 222, the second lifting center 112 cooperates with the other first rotation center 31 of the transmission link 3 to form the fourth hinge point D. The third hinge point C, the fourth hinge point D, the fifth hinge point E, and the sixth hinge point F constitute the four hinge points of the second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2. The first hinge point A and the second hinge point B are set along the vertical direction, and the third hinge point C, the fourth hinge point D, the fifth hinge point E and the sixth hinge point F are also set along the vertical direction.

[0040] In this embodiment, for ease of assembly, the first driven center 211, the second driven center 212, the third driven center 221, and the fourth driven center 222 are all configured as through holes on their respective components, and are connected coaxially by a rotating shaft.

[0041] The fixing member 13 is provided with a limiting member 133 for restricting the downward swing of the first lifting link 11. The limiting member 133 can limit the downward swing angle of the first lifting link 11.

[0042] In a further embodiment, the end of the first lifting link 11 away from the second lifting center 112 extends outward to form an extension rod 113; like Figure 5 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 includes a fixed plate 41, a ratchet plate 42 fixed on the fixed plate 41, a ratchet pawl 43 rotatably connected to the extension rod 113, and a switching spring 44; in this embodiment, in order to make the overall structure more compact, the fixed plate 41 and the fixing member 13 are integrally formed.

[0043] The ratchet plate 42 is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth 421; the fixed plate 41 is provided with a crescent groove 411 for guiding the ratchet pawl 43 to swing, and the ratchet pawl 43 is provided with a guide rod 431; the switching spring 44 pulls the ratchet pawl 43 so that the guide rod 431 remains in contact with the side wall of the crescent groove 411.

[0044] The extension rod 113 is provided with a side shaft 114, and the ratchet pawl 43 is rotatably mounted on the side shaft 114; The two ends of the switching spring 44 are respectively connected to the extension rod 113 and the ratchet pawl 43.

[0045] Specifically, the sidewall of the crescent groove 411 includes a top wall 4111, a bottom wall 4112, an inner sidewall 4113 near the ratchet plate 42, and an outer sidewall 4114 away from the ratchet plate 42. The outer sidewall 4114 is connected to the top wall 4111 by an arc transition. The top wall 4111 and the bottom wall 4112 are inclined.

[0046] The ratchet pawl 43 is provided with a ratchet hole, and the guide rod 431 is disposed through the ratchet hole; one end of the guide rod 431 is inserted into the crescent groove 411, and the other end of the guide rod 431 is connected to the switching spring 44.

[0047] The locking mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes the following working states: initial state, working state, maximum lifting state, ratchet unlocking state, and mechanism reset state.

[0048] (1) Initial state: such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, at this time, the first lifting link 11 abuts against the limiting member 133, the ratchet pawl 43 is located at the top ratchet tooth 421, and the guide rod 431 is in contact with the top wall 4111. The switching spring 44 is located on the side of the side shaft 114 near the ratchet plate 42.

[0049] (2) Working status: such as Figures 4 to 7As shown, when the support member 23 is pulled upward, the first lifting link 11 swings upward around the first lifting center 111 (first hinge point A), causing the extension rod 113 to swing downward around the first lifting center 111. The ratchet pawl 43 slides sequentially along several ratchet teeth 421 on the ratchet plate 42. At this time, the guide rod 431 slides along the inner sidewall 4113, and the switching spring 44 is located on the side of the side shaft 114 near the ratchet plate 42. When the support member 23 loses external force, under the action of gravity, the first lifting link 11 stops swinging, and the ratchet pawl 43 is locked in the corresponding ratchet tooth 421, fixing the first lifting link 11. This achieves multi-position locking of the first parallelogram 1.

[0050] (3) Maximum lifting state: such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, when the first lifting linkage 11 is raised to its maximum height, the guide rod 431 engages with the bottom wall 4112. The bottom wall 4112 is inclined. After the guide rod 431 contacts the bottom wall 4112, the ratchet pawl 43 rotates around the side shaft 114. The switching spring 44 is located on the side of the side shaft 114 away from the ratchet plate 42. This causes the ratchet pawl 43 to separate from the ratchet teeth 421.

[0051] (4) Mechanism reset state: such as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the first lifting link 11 rotates clockwise around the first lifting center 111 (first hinge point A) under the action of gravity. At this time, the guide rod 431 cooperates with the outer wall 4114, and the switching spring 44 is located on the side shaft 114 and is kept away from the ratchet plate 42, so that the ratchet pawl 43 and the ratchet tooth 421 remain separated until the guide rod 431 moves to the top of the top wall 4111, and the locking structure 4 returns to the initial state.

[0052] In another embodiment, a lifting rocker arm 5 is also included, wherein a first rocker arm center 51 and a second rocker arm center 52 are provided on the lifting rocker arm 5; The second driven link 22 extends away from the third driven center 221 to form an auxiliary link 223, and the end of the auxiliary link 223 is provided with an auxiliary center 224 that is coaxially engaged with the center 52 of the second rocker arm; The second lifting link 12 is provided with a rocker arm connection center 123, which is located between the first lifting center 111 and the second lifting center 112; the rocker arm connection center 123 is coaxially engaged with the first rocker arm center 51.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first rocker arm center 51, the second rocker arm center 52, the auxiliary center 224, and the rocker arm connection center 123 are all provided with through holes on their respective components and are coaxially rotatably connected by a rotating shaft.

[0054] In this embodiment, a lifting rocker arm 5 is provided to further raise the support member 23. Specifically, as the support member 23 is raised, the distance between the second hinge point B and the fourth hinge point D increases, the second driven link 22 is pulled by the lifting rocker arm 5, and the second driven link 22 moves upward and rotates clockwise at the same time, which compresses the second parallelogram transmission mechanism 2, and the distance between the third hinge point C and the sixth hinge point F increases, thereby further raising the support member 23.

[0055] In another embodiment, the present invention also provides an armrest, including a sofa body, a sofa armrest, and the above-mentioned manual vertical lifting mechanism; The sofa armrests are fixedly mounted on the support member 23.

[0056] The sofa armrests are mounted on the support member 23. By raising the support member 23, the vertical lifting function of the sofa armrests can be achieved.

[0057] In another embodiment, the present invention also provides a sofa, including a sofa body and the above-described manual vertical lifting mechanism; The sofa body is fixedly mounted on the support member 23.

[0058] The sofa body is mounted on the support member 23. By raising the support member 23, the vertical lifting function of the sofa body can be achieved.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) Simple structure, purely mechanical drive: The mechanism is composed entirely of mechanical structures such as connecting rods and rotating shafts, without the need for complex power systems such as motors and hydraulics. The structure is simple and reliable, and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0060] (2) Easy to use and effortless to operate: Users only need to pull the sofa armrests or the sofa body upwards to achieve smooth lifting through the parallelogram mechanism. The operation is intuitive and effortless.

[0061] (3) Multi-position locking with high flexibility: Equipped with ratchet-pawl locking mechanism 4, it can reliably lock at multiple different height positions during the lifting process to meet different user needs.

[0062] (4) Smooth lifting and vertical movement: By utilizing the characteristic that the opposite sides of the parallelogram mechanism are always parallel, it is ensured that the support 23 and the sofa armrest or body installed on it can move strictly in the vertical direction and the movement trajectory is stable.

[0063] (5) Automatic reset and unlocking mechanism: The design is ingenious. When the height is raised to the maximum, the locking mechanism 4 will automatically unlock. During the reset and descent process, the mechanism can remain unlocked until it automatically returns to the initial locked position, making it safe and convenient to use.

[0064] (6) High space utilization and compact structure: By using the shared transmission link 3 and the design of integrally forming the fixed plate 41 and the fixed part 13, the space layout is optimized, making the whole mechanism more compact.

[0065] (7) Strong expandability and can further increase the lifting range: By adding components such as lifting rocker arm 5, the lifting action can be further amplified to achieve a higher lifting height and meet more diverse application needs.

[0066] (8) Wide application and strong adaptability: This mechanism can be used to realize the vertical lifting of the sofa armrests and the vertical lifting of the entire sofa body, and has good versatility.

Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
