Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of multifunctional sofa technology, and more specifically, to an extension device and a sofa. Background Technology

[0002] A typical movable sofa includes a functional frame (also known as an extension mechanism), which is divided into sections for upholstered components such as backrests, seat frames, and footrests. The functional frame is equipped with a linear actuator that allows it to shift between sitting, relaxed (also known as TV position), and reclining positions, thus enabling the movable sofa to switch between these postures. Movable sofas also include floor-standing sofas with internal functional frames that are positioned on the floor.

[0003] Users require retractable sofas with functional or comfort features such as zero gravity and zero wall contact. Zero wall contact means the sofa back can be against a wall, and the sofa's position can be adjusted while maintaining this position without interference between the backrest and the wall. Zero gravity refers to a reclining position that simulates a space capsule, placing the user's legs slightly higher than their heart to reduce pressure on the spine and joints, allowing for a relaxed and stress-free experience.

[0004] However, the common iron-framed floor sofas cannot simultaneously meet customers' requirements for a sofa that is placed without being against a wall and for a zero-gravity comfort experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide an extension device and a sofa to solve the problem that existing iron-framed floor sofas cannot simultaneously meet customers' requirements for a sofa with zero wall support and a zero-gravity comfort experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, an extension device is provided, comprising: a support frame and two extension components, the support frame being disposed on a horizontal mounting base, and the two extension components being disposed on opposite sides of the support frame; each extension component includes: a base plate, a foot support component, and a back support component, the base plate being used to connect to the seat frame of a sofa, the base plate being movably disposed on the support frame, the foot support component and the back support component being movably connected to the base plate, the foot support component including a footrest, and the back support component including a backrest component, the backrest component being used to connect to the backrest cushion of the sofa; the extension device has a sitting posture, a relaxing posture, and a reclining posture, and the base plate of each extension component can be movably disposed so that the extension device is in a sitting posture... The device can be switched between a seated position, a relaxed position, and a reclining position. When the extension device is in a seated position, the footrest is retracted below the seat frame, and the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest and the preset vertical plane is zero. When the extension device is in a relaxed position, the footrest extends to the front of the seat frame and tilts relative to the horizontal direction, and the distance between the highest point of the backrest and the preset vertical plane is greater than zero. When the extension device is in a reclining position, compared to the relaxed position, the highest point of the backrest is lowered, and the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest and the preset vertical plane is zero. The height of the highest point of the foot support component relative to the horizontal mounting base is greater than the height of the highest point of the back support component relative to the horizontal mounting base.

[0007] Furthermore, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the angle θ1 between the upper surface of the footrest and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 10°≤θ1≤12°; when the extension device is in a leisure position, the angle θ1 between the upper surface of the footrest and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 6°≤θ1≤7°.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two footrests, one of which is the first footrest and the other is the second footrest. The highest point of the second footrest is higher than the highest point of the first footrest. The height of the highest point of the first footrest relative to the horizontal mounting base is greater than the height of the highest point of the backrest relative to the horizontal mounting base. The angle θ1 between the upper surface of the second footrest and the horizontal mounting base ranges from 10° to 12°. When the extension device is in a relaxed state, the angle θ1 between the upper surface of the second footrest and the horizontal mounting base ranges from 6° to 7°.

[0009] Furthermore, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the range of the included angle β1 between the backrest and the horizontal mounting base is: 15°≤β1≤30°; during the process of the extension device switching from a sitting position to a reclining position, the range of the change angle δ1 between the included angle β1 between the backrest and the horizontal mounting base is: 25°≤δ1≤50°; where δ1=β1sitting position-β1reclining position.

[0010] Furthermore, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 13°≤β2≤19°; when the extension device is in a sitting position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 6°≤β2≤10°; when the extension device is in a leisure position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 10°≤β2≤13°; and during the process of the extension device switching from a sitting position to a reclining position, the change angle δ2 of the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 3°≤δ2≤13°.

[0011] Furthermore, the foot support component includes a first foot support and a second foot support. One end of the first foot support and one end of the second foot support are both hinged to the base plate. The other end of the first foot support is hinged to a first footrest, and the other end of the second foot support is hinged to the second footrest. When the extension device is in a lying position and a leisure position, the maximum distance d4 between the first footrest and the second footrest ranges from 200mm ≤ d4 ≤ 220mm. When the extension device is in a lying position, the height d5 of the highest point of the first footrest relative to the horizontal mounting base ranges from 560mm ≤ d5 ≤ 580mm. When the extension device is in a leisure position, the height d5 of the highest point of the first footrest relative to the horizontal mounting base ranges from 450mm ≤ d5 ≤ 470mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the extension device also includes a drive member, and each extension component also includes a drive rod. The drive rod is movably mounted on the base plate, and the drive rod and the foot support component are connected by transmission. The drive member and the drive rod are driven to move the drive rod, so that the drive rod drives the base plate to move, allowing the extension device to switch back and forth between a sitting position, a leisure position, and a reclining position. Specifically, before the base plate moves forward a first preset distance d1, the drive rod is rotatably arranged around its axis and movable in the horizontal direction, so that the drive rod drives the footrest component to move, allowing the extension device to switch from a sitting position to a leisure position. Before the base plate continues to move forward a second preset distance d2, the drive rod is movable in the horizontal direction, so that the base plate and the backrest component move, allowing the extension device to switch from a leisure position to a reclining position.

[0013] Furthermore, each extension component also includes a connecting member, which is movably mounted on the support frame. The connecting member has a first connecting end, a second connecting end, and a third connecting end. The back support component includes a first backrest rod, a second backrest rod, and a third backrest rod. The two ends of the third backrest rod are respectively hinged to the first backrest rod and the second backrest rod. One end of the first backrest rod is hinged to the base plate, and the other end of the first backrest rod is hinged to the backrest member. One end of the second backrest rod is hinged to the third connecting end, and the other end of the second backrest rod is hinged to the backrest member, so that the base plate drives the backrest member to move in a direction toward the support frame via the first backrest rod, and so that the base plate drives the backrest member to move in a direction toward the support frame via the connecting member and the second backrest rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the backrest component includes a first connecting plate segment, a second connecting plate segment, and a third connecting plate segment. The first ends of the first connecting plate segment, the first ends of the second connecting plate segment, and the first ends of the third connecting plate segment are connected to each other. The second connecting plate segment and the third connecting plate segment are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first connecting plate segment. The second end of the second connecting plate segment is hinged to the first backrest rod, and the second end of the third connecting plate segment is hinged to the second backrest rod. And / or, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the included angle between the side of the second connecting plate segment away from the first connecting plate segment and the side of the first backrest rod close to the first connecting plate segment is α1, and the value range of α1 is 80°≤α1≤88°.

[0015] Furthermore, each extension component also includes a reinforcing component, which includes a reinforcing member, a first reinforcing rod, and a second reinforcing rod. The two ends of the first reinforcing rod are respectively hinged to the first ends of the supporting iron frame and the second reinforcing rod. The middle part of the second reinforcing rod is hinged to the connecting component. The second end of the second reinforcing rod is provided with a reinforcing member. When the extension device is in a lying position, the reinforcing member is used to abut against the horizontal mounting base.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a sofa is provided, comprising a seat frame, a footrest, a backrest, and the aforementioned extension device.

[0017] Applying the technical solution of this invention, when the extension device is in a sitting position, the footrest is retracted below the seat frame, and the highest point of the backrest cushion contacts a preset vertical plane. When the extension device is in a relaxed position, relative to the sitting position, the distance between the footrest and the seat frame increases in both the horizontal and vertical directions, causing the footrest to extend to the front of the seat frame and tilt relative to the horizontal direction, and the distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion and the preset vertical plane is greater than zero. When the extension device is in a reclining position, relative to the relaxed position, and with the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion and the preset vertical plane equal to zero, the height of the highest point of the foot support component relative to the horizontal mounting base is greater than the height of the highest point of the back support component relative to the horizontal mounting base. Therefore, the user's legs can be roughly level with or slightly higher than the heart, achieving a zero-gravity effect. Furthermore, since the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest and the preset vertical plane is zero when the extension device is in a sitting or lying position, the user does not need to leave any installation gap when installing the sofa. Also, because the backrest does not interfere with the preset vertical plane when the extension device switches between sitting, relaxed, and lying positions, the application allows for a zero-wall-adhesion sofa arrangement. This solves the problem that existing iron-framed floor sofas cannot simultaneously meet customers' requirements for both zero-wall-adhesion and zero-gravity comfort, allowing the sofa to have the advantages of both zero-wall-adhesion and zero-gravity, making placement more convenient and use more comfortable.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6This invention provides an extension device, comprising: a supporting frame 10 and two extension components 20. The supporting frame 10 is disposed on a horizontal mounting base, and the two extension components 20 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the supporting frame 10. Each extension component 20 includes: a base plate 21, a foot support component 22, and a back support component 23. The base plate 21 is used to connect to the seat frame of a sofa and is movably disposed on the supporting frame 10. The foot support component 22 and the back support component 23 are both movably connected to the base plate 21. The foot support component 22 includes a footrest 221, and the back support component 23 includes a backrest 231, which is used to connect to the backrest cushion 232 of the sofa. The extension device has a sitting position, a relaxing position, and a reclining position. The base plate 21 of each extension component 20 can be movably disposed to allow the extension device to... The device can be switched between sitting, relaxing, and reclining positions. When the extension device is in the sitting position, the footrest 221 is retracted below the seat frame, and the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is zero. When the extension device is in the relaxing position, the footrest 221 extends to the front of the seat frame and tilts relative to the horizontal direction, and the distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is greater than zero. When the extension device is in the reclining position, the backrest cushion is tilted back, the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 is lowered, and the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is zero. The height of the highest point of the foot support component 22 relative to the horizontal mounting base is greater than the height of the highest point of the back support component 23 relative to the horizontal mounting base.

[0031] When the extension device of the present invention is in a seated position, the footrest 221 retracts below the seat frame, and the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 contacts a preset vertical plane. When the extension device is in a relaxed position, the distance between the footrest 221 and the seat frame in both the horizontal and vertical directions increases relative to the seated position, so that the footrest 221 extends to the front of the seat frame and tilts relative to the horizontal direction, and the distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is greater than zero. When the extension device is in a reclining position, the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is equal to zero relative to the relaxed position, and the height of the highest point of the foot support member 22 relative to the horizontal mounting base is greater than the height of the highest point of the back support member 23 relative to the horizontal mounting base. The height of the base surface ensures that the user's legs are roughly level with or slightly higher than their heart, achieving a zero-gravity effect. Furthermore, since the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is zero when the extension device is in a sitting or reclining position, the user does not need to leave any installation gap when installing the sofa. Also, because the backrest cushion 232 does not interfere with the preset vertical plane when the extension device switches between sitting, relaxed, and reclining positions, the application allows for a zero-wall-adhesion sofa arrangement. This solves the problem that existing iron-framed floor sofas cannot simultaneously meet customers' requirements for both zero-wall-adhesion and zero-gravity comfort, allowing the sofa to have the advantages of both zero-wall-adhesion and zero-gravity, making placement more convenient and use more comfortable.

[0032] Specifically, the preset vertical plane can be a vertical wall, the horizontal mounting base can be a horizontal ground, and the footrest 221 is used to connect the sofa's footrest, allowing the user's feet and legs to be placed on the footrest.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the extension device is in a lying position, the angle θ1 between the upper surface of the footrest 221 and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 10°≤θ1≤12°; when the extension device is in a leisure position, the angle θ1 between the upper surface of the footrest 221 and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 6°≤θ1≤7°.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, there are two footrests 221. One of the two footrests 221 is the first footrest 2211, and the other footrest 221 is the second footrest 2212. The highest point of the second footrest 2212 is higher than the highest point of the first footrest 2211. The height of the highest point of the first footrest 2211 relative to the horizontal mounting base is greater than the height of the highest point of the backrest 231 relative to the horizontal mounting base. The angle θ1 between the upper surface of the second footrest 2212 and the horizontal mounting base ranges from 10°≤θ1≤12°. When the extension device is in the leisure state, the angle θ1 between the upper surface of the second footrest 2212 and the horizontal mounting base ranges from 6°≤θ1≤7°.

[0035] Specifically, the highest point of the first footrest 2211 is higher than the height of the highest point of the backrest 231 relative to the horizontal mounting base. This arrangement ensures that the user's legs are roughly level with or slightly higher than the heart, achieving a zero-gravity effect.

[0036] Preferably, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the angle θ1 between the upper surface of the second footrest 2212 and the horizontal mounting base is equal to 12°; when the extension device is in a relaxed position, the angle θ1 between the upper surface of the second footrest 2212 and the horizontal mounting base is equal to 7°. This setting makes the angle of the second footrest 2212 more gradual, and the position of the user's lower leg or foot is more gradual when using it, which can improve the user's comfort.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the included angle β1 between the backrest 231 and the horizontal mounting base ranges from 15° to 30°; when the extension device is in a sitting position, the included angle β1 between the backrest 231 and the horizontal mounting base ranges from 55° to 65°; when the extension device is in a relaxing position, the included angle β1 between the backrest 231 and the horizontal mounting base ranges from 58° to 60°; during the process of the extension device switching from a sitting to a reclining position, the change angle δ1 of the included angle β1 between the backrest 231 and the horizontal mounting base ranges from 25° to 50°; where δ1 = β1 坐姿 -β1 躺姿 .

[0038] Preferably, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the included angle β1 between the backrest 231 and the horizontal mounting base is 24°; when the extension device is in a sitting position, the included angle β1 between the backrest 231 and the horizontal mounting base is 62°; and when the extension device is in a leisure position, the included angle β1 between the backrest 231 and the horizontal mounting base is 59°.

[0039] Specifically, this design ensures that the reclining angle of the backrest 231 is moderate and conforms well to the user's body structure, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate 21 and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 13°≤β2≤19°; when the extension device is in a sitting position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate 21 and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 6°≤β2≤10°; when the extension device is in a leisure position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate 21 and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 10°≤β2≤13°; during the process of the extension device switching from a sitting position to a reclining position, the change angle δ2 of the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate 21 and the horizontal mounting base is in the range of 3°≤δ2≤13°.

[0041] Specifically, when the extension device is in a lying position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate 21 and the horizontal mounting base is equal to 16°; when the extension device is in a sitting position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate 21 and the horizontal mounting base is equal to 8°; and when the extension device is in a leisure position, the angle β2 between the preset axis on the substrate 21 and the horizontal mounting base is equal to 12°.

[0042] Specifically, this design allows for a more relaxed seat angle, preventing the user's body from rising too much and thus improving user comfort.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the foot support component 22 includes a first foot support 222 and a second foot support 223. One end of the first foot support 222 and one end of the second foot support 223 are both hinged to the base plate 21. The other end of the first foot support 222 is hinged to the first footrest 2211, and the other end of the second foot support 223 is hinged to the second footrest 2212. When the extension device is in a lying position and a leisure position, the maximum distance d4 between the first footrest 2211 and the second footrest 2212 ranges from 2. 00mm≤d4≤220mm; the height d6 of the highest point of the second footrest 2212 relative to the horizontal mounting base is 505mm and 623mm respectively; when the extension device is in the lying position, the height d5 of the highest point of the first footrest 2211 relative to the horizontal mounting base is 560mm≤d5≤580mm; when the extension device is in the leisure position, the height d5 of the highest point of the first footrest 2211 relative to the horizontal mounting base is 450mm≤d5≤470mm.

[0044] Specifically, the foot pad is fitted onto two foot rest pieces 221. By setting the maximum distance d4 between the first foot rest piece 2211 and the second foot rest piece 2212 to a range of 200mm≤d4≤220mm, the distance between the first foot rest piece 2211 and the second foot rest piece 2212 when unfolded is greater than the distance between the first foot rest piece 2211 and the second foot rest piece 2212 when folded. This increases the overall area of ​​the foot pad and meets the needs of users with longer legs.

[0045] Optionally, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the height d5 of the highest point of the first footrest 2211 relative to the horizontal mounting base is 578 mm, and the height d6 of the highest point of the second footrest 2212 relative to the horizontal mounting base is 623 mm; when the extension device is in the leisure position, the height d5 of the highest point of the first footrest 2211 relative to the horizontal mounting base is 461 mm, and the height d6 of the highest point of the second footrest 2212 relative to the horizontal mounting base is 505 mm.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, the extension device also includes a drive member 30, and each extension component 20 includes a drive rod 31. The drive rod 31 is movably mounted on the base plate 21. The drive rod 31 and the footrest 221 are connected in a transmission manner. The drive member 30 and the drive rod 31 are driven to move the drive rod 31, so that the drive rod 31 drives the base plate 21 to move, thereby allowing the extension device to switch back and forth between a sitting state, a leisure state, and a reclining state. Specifically, before the base plate 21 moves forward a first preset distance d1, the drive rod 31 is rotatably arranged around its axis and movable in the horizontal direction, so that the drive rod 31 drives the footrest 221 to move, thereby switching the extension device from a sitting state to a leisure state. Before the base plate 21 continues to move forward a second preset distance d2, the drive rod 31 is movable in the horizontal direction, so that the base plate 21 and the backrest 231 move, thereby switching the extension device from a leisure state to a reclining state.

[0047] Specifically, the driving member 30 drives the driving rod 31 to move, and the driving rod 31 drives the footrest 221 and the base plate 21 to move, so that the extension device can smoothly switch between a sitting state, a leisure state, and a reclining state. The driving member 30 drives the driving rod 31 to rotate around its axis and move in the horizontal direction, so that the driving rod 31 drives the footrest 221 to move. At the same time, the driving rod 31 drives the base plate 21 forward a first preset distance d1. At this time, the extension device switches from a sitting state to a leisure state. Then the driving rod 31 can no longer rotate. The driving rod 31 can only drive the base plate 21 to continue to move forward in the horizontal direction a second preset distance d2. At this time, the extension device switches from a leisure state to a reclining state.

[0048] Specifically, the cross-section of the drive rod 31 along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the drive rod 31 is rectangular or polygonal. For example... Figure 6 As shown in the figure, point A indicates the position of the drive rod 31 when the extension device is in a sitting position, point B indicates the position of the drive rod 31 when the extension device is in a leisure position, and point C indicates the position of the drive rod 31 when the extension device is in a lying position. The first preset distance d1 is 117.04 mm, and the second preset distance d2 is 155.82 mm.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the extension device also includes a slider 32 and a guide rail 33. The guide rail 33 is mounted on the support frame 10 and extends horizontally. The slider 32 is movably mounted on the guide rail 33. The driving member 30 and the slider 32 are drivenly connected, and the slider 32 and the driving rod 31 are connected in a transmission manner so that the slider 32 drives the driving rod 31 to move.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, each extension component 20 also includes a first transmission rod 34 and a second transmission rod 35. One end of the first transmission rod 34 is connected to the slider 32, and the other end of the first transmission rod 34 is hinged to one end of the second transmission rod 35. The other end of the second transmission rod 35 is hinged to the drive rod 31 so that the drive rod 31 can be moved by the movement of the slider 32.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each extension component 20 also includes a connecting component 40, which is movably mounted on the support frame 10. The connecting component 40 has a first connecting end 56, a second connecting end 57, and a third connecting end 58. The back support component 23 includes a first backrest rod 51, a second backrest rod 52, and a third backrest rod 521. The two ends of the third backrest rod 521 are respectively hinged to the first backrest rod 51 and the second backrest rod 52. One end of the first backrest rod 51 is hinged to the base plate 21, and the other end of the first backrest rod 51 is hinged to the backrest member 231. One end of the second backrest rod 52 is hinged to the third connecting end 58, and the other end of the second backrest rod 52 is hinged to the backrest member 231, so that the base plate 21 drives the backrest member 231 to move in a direction toward the support frame 10 via the first backrest rod 51, and so that the base plate 21 drives the backrest member 231 to move in a direction toward the support frame 10 via the connecting component 40 and the second backrest rod 52.

[0052] Specifically, the first backrest rod 51 is used to drive the base plate 21 and the backrest member 231, so that the base plate 21 can drive the backrest member 231 to move; the second backrest rod 52 is used to drive the backrest member 231 and the connecting component 40, so that the connecting component 40 can drive the backrest member 231 to move, thereby enabling the base plate 21 to drive the backrest member 231 to move; the first backrest rod 51 and the second backrest rod 52 together ensure the reliability of the transmission connection between the base plate 21 and the backrest member 231, ensuring that the extension device can smoothly switch from a leisure state to a reclining state.

[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the backrest component 231 includes a first connecting plate segment 53, a second connecting plate segment 54, and a third connecting plate segment 55. The first ends of the first connecting plate segment 53, the second connecting plate segment 54, and the third connecting plate segment 55 are connected to each other. The second connecting plate segment 54 and the third connecting plate segment 55 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the first connecting plate segment 53. The second end of the second connecting plate segment 54 is hinged to the first backrest rod 51, and the second end of the third connecting plate segment 55 is hinged to the second backrest rod 52. And / or, when the extension device is in a reclining position, the included angle between the side of the second connecting plate segment 54 away from the first connecting plate segment 53 and the side of the first backrest rod 51 close to the first connecting plate segment 53 is α1, and the value range of α1 is 80°≤α1≤88°.

[0054] Specifically, the value range of α1 is 80°≤α1≤88°. This setting can avoid the backrest 231 needing to rotate a large angle to flip over smoothly, thereby avoiding the long time required for the extension device to switch from a leisure state to a reclining state. This helps to ensure the smooth operation of the extension device of this application and improve the user's comfort.

[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, each extension component 20 also includes a reinforcing component, which includes a reinforcing member 61, a first reinforcing rod 62 and a second reinforcing rod 63. The two ends of the first reinforcing rod 62 are respectively hinged to the first ends of the supporting iron frame 10 and the second reinforcing rod 63. The middle part of the second reinforcing rod 63 is hinged to the connecting component 40. The second end of the second reinforcing rod 63 is provided with a reinforcing member 61. When the extension device is in a lying position, the reinforcing member 61 is used to abut against the horizontal mounting base.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting component 40 includes a first connecting rod 41, a second connecting rod 42, a third connecting rod 43, a fourth connecting plate 44, and a fifth connecting rod 45. The fourth connecting plate 44 has an irregular structure and four different connecting ends. One end of the first connecting rod 41 is hinged to the supporting iron frame 10, and the other end of the first connecting rod 41 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 42, with the other end of the second connecting rod 42 forming a first connecting end 56. One end of the third connecting rod 43 is hinged to the middle of the second connecting rod 42, and the other end of the third connecting rod 43 is hinged to one connecting end of the fourth connecting plate 44. The two connecting ends of the fourth connecting plate 44 respectively form a second connecting end 57 and a third connecting end 58. One connecting end of the fourth connecting plate 44 is hinged to one end of the fifth connecting rod 45, and the other end of the fifth connecting rod 45 is hinged to the supporting iron frame 10.

[0057] Specifically, the base plate 21 drives the connecting component 40 to move, and the connecting component 40 drives the second reinforcing rod 63 and the first reinforcing rod 62 to move and unfold. This causes the reinforcing component 61 to move away from the preset vertical plane until it abuts against the horizontal mounting base to support the extension device of this application. This effectively increases the support range of the support frame 10, reducing the risk of forward tilting caused by the forward shift of gravity of the extension device in a reclining position, and helping to prevent the extension device from tipping over. When the extension device is in a sitting position, the first reinforcing rod 62 and the second reinforcing rod 63 are retracted under the seat frame, and the reinforcing component 61 is also retracted under the seat frame, preventing the reinforcing component 61, the first reinforcing rod 62, and the second reinforcing rod 63 from being exposed, thus ensuring the aesthetics of the sofa.

[0058] Specifically, the middle part of the second reinforcing rod 63 is hinged to the middle part of the first connecting rod 41; the reinforcing part 61 is a support wheel.

[0059] The present invention also provides a sofa, including a seat frame, a footrest, a backrest cushion 232, and the aforementioned extension device.

[0060] In specific implementation, when the extension device is in a seated position, the angle θ2 between the backrest 231 and the preset axis on the base plate 21 is 109°, and the distance h1 between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the horizontal mounting base is 915mm; when the extension device is in a relaxed position, the angle θ2 between the backrest 231 and the preset axis on the base plate 21 is 109°, the lifting height d6 between the highest point of the second footrest 2212 and the horizontal mounting base is 505mm, and the distance h1 between the highest point of the second footrest 2212 and the base plate 21 is 915mm. The minimum horizontal distance d7 between the plate 21 and the substrate 21 is 504 mm. When the extension device is in a reclining position, the angle θ2 between the backrest 231 and the preset axis on the substrate 21 is 140°. The lifting height d6 between the highest point of the second footrest 2212 and the horizontal mounting base is 623 mm. The distance h1 between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the horizontal mounting base is 624 mm. The minimum horizontal distance d7 between the highest point of the second footrest 2212 and the substrate 21 is 485 mm.

[0061] Specifically, by limiting the range of the angle between the backrest 231 and the preset axis on the base plate 21, the proximity of the user's back and legs can be limited, preventing the user's back and legs from being too close, which would cause the user's body to bend excessively and affect the user experience. At the same time, it can also prevent the user's leg elevation angle from being too small, which would affect the user's zero-gravity experience. By limiting the elevation height between the highest point of the second footrest 2212 and the horizontal mounting base, it can be ensured that the user's legs are only slightly higher than the heart, satisfying the user's zero-gravity experience while avoiding discomfort caused by the legs being inverted. By limiting the distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the horizontal mounting base, it can be prevented that the user's heart height is too high or too low, thus ensuring that the user's legs are only slightly higher than the heart, thereby ensuring the user's comfort.

[0062] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0063] The sofa of this invention combines the three elements of a ground-mounted iron frame, zero gravity, and zero wall contact, allowing the sofa to simultaneously possess the advantages of zero wall contact and zero gravity, making it more convenient to place and more comfortable to use; the extension device of this application has a simple structure and lower production cost; the extension device of this application operates smoothly.

[0064] When the extension device of the present invention is in a seated position, the footrest 221 retracts below the seat frame, and the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 contacts a preset vertical plane. When the extension device is in a relaxed position, the distance between the footrest 221 and the seat frame in both the horizontal and vertical directions increases relative to the seated position, so that the footrest 221 extends to the front of the seat frame and tilts relative to the horizontal direction, and the distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is greater than zero. When the extension device is in a reclining position, the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is equal to zero relative to the relaxed position, and the height of the highest point of the foot support member 22 relative to the horizontal mounting base is greater than the height of the highest point of the back support member 23 relative to the horizontal mounting base. The height of the base surface ensures that the user's legs are roughly level with or slightly higher than their heart, achieving a zero-gravity effect. Furthermore, since the minimum distance between the highest point of the backrest cushion 232 and the preset vertical plane is zero when the extension device is in a sitting or reclining position, the user does not need to leave any installation gap when installing the sofa. Also, because the backrest cushion 232 does not interfere with the preset vertical plane when the extension device switches between sitting, relaxed, and reclining positions, the application allows for a zero-wall-adhesion sofa arrangement. This solves the problem that existing iron-framed floor sofas cannot simultaneously meet customers' requirements for both zero-wall-adhesion and zero-gravity comfort, allowing the sofa to have the advantages of both zero-wall-adhesion and zero-gravity, making placement more convenient and use more comfortable.
