Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chair technology, specifically to a recumbent chair with a changeable form and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] Recliners, as a common type of leisure furniture in everyday homes, are a type of furniture that falls between a regular chair and a bed. They can be used for sitting or reclining and are suitable for various scenarios. Their functionality and comfort directly affect the user experience.

[0003] A search revealed that prior art, publication number CN212995473U, discloses a novel reclining chair, including a footrest and a foldable cushion. The foldable cushion comprises a seat portion and a backrest portion. The seat portion is fixed to the footrest, and the backrest portion can be folded relative to the seat portion, enabling switching between sitting and reclining functions. The backrest portion has a foldable rear support, which unfolds and supports the backrest portion when reclining. This utility model has a reasonable structural design. By adding a rear support, it effectively prevents the chair from tipping over when laid flat. When not in use, the backrest is tucked away for storage, without affecting the overall appearance or seating function of the chair, thus improving its practicality, stability, and safety. Furthermore, this utility model adds a headrest structure to the backrest, which is easy to assemble and disassemble, and its height is adjustable, greatly improving the chair's comfort and practicality.

[0004] A search revealed that prior art, publication number CN220694716U, discloses an adjustable-backrest student recliner, including legs, a seat at the top of the legs, a main backrest rotatably connected to one side of the seat, a movable backrest slidably connected to one side of the main backrest, the top of the movable backrest protruding upwards from the top of the main backrest, a guide post on one side of the main backrest, a sliding groove inside the movable backrest, one end of the guide post passing through the sliding groove, the guide post slidingly engaging with the sliding groove, and a fixed seat at the protruding end of the guide post. The purpose is to address the technical problem that, due to significant height differences among students during their developmental stages, when taller students use the recliner, the backrest is too short to provide adequate head support when the recliner is adjusted to a reclining position, resulting in poor suitability for taller students.

[0005] Existing reclining chairs are inconvenient to switch between sitting and reclining positions, only allowing for simple transitions between sitting and reclining postures. They cannot meet the needs of users for semi-reclining or full-reclining rest. The fixed contact area between the base and the ground means that the user's center of gravity changes under different usage modes, which can easily lead to the risk of tipping over. The backrest surface is mostly a flat structure, which does not conform to the ergonomic curve. When sitting or reclining, the backrest does not fit well with the backrest, resulting in uneven pressure distribution and a lack of precise support for key areas. Prolonged sitting or reclining can easily cause fatigue and cannot meet the personalized sitting or reclining needs of different users. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retractable reclining chair and its method of use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a retractable recliner, comprising a chair frame assembly, a fabric assembly, a base assembly, and two armrests. The fabric assembly is fitted onto the upper surface of the chair frame assembly, and the two armrests are fixedly installed above both sides of the chair frame assembly, with touch panels provided on the armrests. The chair frame assembly includes a seat body, a backrest body, a leg support body, and a hinge assembly. The fabric assembly includes a base plate, a flexible breathable cover, and airbags. The flexible breathable cover is sewn together along the outer edge of the base plate, and the airbags are horizontally and equidistantly arranged inside the flexible breathable cover. The base assembly includes a fixed frame and two movable frames installed at the front and rear ends of the fixed frame.

[0008] Preferably, an inflation / deflation device is fixedly installed below the seat body, and the inflation / deflation device is connected to the airbag. The upper ends of the seat body, backrest body, and leg support body are fixedly installed with Velcro hooks, and the lower end of the base plate is fixedly installed with Velcro loops. The fabric assembly and the chair frame assembly are bonded together by the Velcro hooks and Velcro loops. The inflation / deflation device is electrically connected to the touch panel on the armrest frame.

[0009] Preferably, the fixed frame includes two supporting crossbeams and two first connecting rods. The two supporting crossbeams are arranged in parallel, and the two ends of the first connecting rods are welded to the ends of the supporting crossbeams. The movable frame includes a supporting longitudinal beam and two second connecting rods. The two second connecting rods are welded to the inner side of the supporting longitudinal beam. Each end of the supporting crossbeam has a telescopic cavity, and the second connecting rods are slidably installed inside the telescopic cavity. Anti-slip rubber pads are fitted and installed on the lower part of both ends of the supporting crossbeam and the supporting longitudinal beam. A threaded hole is provided on the inner surface of the supporting crossbeam, and the threaded hole communicates with the telescopic cavity. A locking bolt is installed in the threaded hole.

[0010] Preferably, the backrest body and leg support body are rotatably connected to the seat body at both ends via a hinge assembly. Hinge seats are fixedly installed on the bottom of the seat body, backrest body, leg support body, and base assembly. A first electric telescopic cylinder is installed on the bottom of the backrest body. A second electric telescopic cylinder is installed between the seat body and leg support body. Both ends of the first and second electric telescopic cylinders are rotatably connected to the hinge seats. The first and second electric telescopic cylinders are electrically connected to the touch panel on the armrest frame.

[0011] Preferably, two sets of support mechanisms are symmetrically installed below the chair frame assembly. The support mechanism includes a first connecting seat, a support arm, and a second connecting seat. The first connecting seat is welded to the base assembly. The lower end of the seat body is provided with two mounting cavities, which are arranged parallel and symmetrically at the lower end of the seat body. The second connecting seat is slidably installed inside the mounting cavity. The support arm is installed on the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat, and both ends of the support arm are rotatably connected to the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, a bidirectional ball screw is rotatably mounted inside the mounting cavity, and the bidirectional ball screw is threadedly connected to the second connecting seat. A drive motor is embedded below the seat body, and a drive cavity is provided at the lower end of the seat body. A belt pulley transmission assembly is rotatably mounted inside the drive cavity, and the belt pulley transmission assembly is connected to the output end of the drive motor and one end of the two bidirectional ball screws. The drive motor is electrically connected to the touch panel on the armrest frame.

[0013] Preferably, an angle sensor is fixedly installed below both the backrest body and the leg support body, and the angle sensor is electrically connected to the touch panel on the armrest frame.

[0014] The following are the specific steps for using a retractable reclining chair: Step 1: When it is necessary to switch the reclining chair from a sitting position to a reclining position, the user inputs the desired reclining angle through the touch panel on the armrest frame. At the same time, the first and second electric telescopic cylinders are controlled to push the backrest body and the leg support body to rotate relative to the seat body around the hinge assembly, respectively. During the rotation process, the angle sensor provides real-time feedback on the rotation angle of the backrest body and the leg support body. After the backrest body and the leg support body rotate to the target angle, the first and second electric telescopic cylinders are stopped, completing the switch between sitting and reclining modes. Step 2: When the height of the recliner needs to be adjusted, the drive motor is started via the touch panel on the armrest to drive the belt pulley transmission assembly to rotate, which in turn drives the two bidirectional ball screws to rotate synchronously. This causes the two second connecting seats to move closer or further apart along the mounting cavity. During the movement of the second connecting seats, the support arm is deflected, which in turn causes the chair frame assembly to rise or fall as a whole, thus completing the height adjustment. Step 3: When it is necessary to adjust the bearing area of ​​the base assembly, first loosen the locking bolts on the inside of the support beam, pull the support longitudinal beam, and the second connecting rod will slide out from the telescopic cavity. Adjust the overall area of ​​the base composed of the fixed frame and the movable frame, expand the overall support area, and then tighten the locking bolts again to fix the second connecting rod. Step 4: Based on the user's preference for seat firmness, activate the inflation / deflation device via the touch panel on the armrest. Inflate or deflate the airbags using the device to adjust the internal air pressure of each airbag and the overall support firmness of the fabric assembly, ensuring that the surface curve of the fabric assembly conforms to the ergonomic curve. Step 5: The fabric assembly and the chair frame assembly are connected by the hook and loop sides of the Velcro. When the fabric assembly needs to be cleaned, simply tear off the Velcro and remove the fabric assembly from the chair frame assembly for cleaning or replacement. After cleaning, reattach it using the Velcro.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. It adopts an adjustable base assembly, a first electric telescopic cylinder, and a second electric telescopic cylinder. The first and second electric telescopic cylinders respectively push the backrest body and the leg support body to rotate around the hinge assembly relative to the seat body, changing the angle of the backrest body and the leg support body to achieve the switching between sitting and reclining positions. The base assembly consists of a telescopic fixed frame and a movable frame structure. Pulling the support longitudinal beam slides the second connecting rod out of the telescopic cavity, expanding the overall support area. Tightening the locking bolts makes its front end make close contact with the second connecting rod for fixation. The contact area with the ground can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different ground environments such as smooth floors and carpets. At the same time, it adapts to the center of gravity needs of users with different weights. Combined with the anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom, it effectively prevents the chair from tipping over and improves the stability in various positions. 2. The chair employs fabric components and an inflation / deflation device. This device inflates or deflates the airbags, adjusting the internal pressure of each airbag and the overall support firmness of the fabric components. This ensures the fabric surface curves conform to ergonomic curves, increasing the fit between the backrest and the chair back, optimizing pressure distribution, and conforming to human biomechanical characteristics, thus improving sitting and reclining comfort. The fabric components are connected to the chair frame components via Velcro hooks and loops. When cleaning is required, simply tear off the Velcro to remove the fabric components from the chair frame components for cleaning or replacement. After cleaning, they can be reattached using Velcro.

When the fabric component 2 needs to be cleaned, simply tear off the Velcro and remove the fabric component 2 from the chair frame component 1 for cleaning or replacement. After cleaning, reattach it with the Velcro.

[0026] In summary, this invention uses a first electric telescopic cylinder and a second electric telescopic cylinder in conjunction with a hinge assembly to achieve independent angle adjustment between the backrest body and the leg support plate. With the addition of an angle sensor to provide real-time angle data feedback, it can accurately position any posture such as sitting, semi-reclining, or fully reclining. Through the cooperation of a drive motor, a bidirectional ball screw, and a support arm, it can achieve electric height adjustment of the entire chair body, making it suitable for users of different heights, body types, and ages. The base of this invention adopts a telescopic structure combining a fixed frame and front and rear movable frames. The extension length of the second connecting rod can be adjusted by pulling the support longitudinal beam, thereby changing the contact area between the base and the ground. When the center of gravity shifts in a lying position, the support range is actively expanded. With the help of anti-slip rubber pads, it is suitable for various types of ground such as carpets, tiles, and wooden floors, achieving stable support under different weights and shapes. The fabric assembly of this invention has built-in horizontally equidistant airbags. The air pressure of each airbag can be independently adjusted by the inflation and deflation device, which can freely change the softness and hardness of the seat and the surface curve, perfectly conforming to the contours of the human spine, waist, hips and legs, optimizing the pressure distribution, conforming to the biomechanical characteristics of the human body, and eliminating fatigue even after sitting or lying down for a long time. The fabric and the chair frame are detachably connected by Velcro, which can be quickly peeled off for cleaning or replacement.

A method of using a retractable reclining chair, characterized in that, The reclining chair, which includes any one of claims 1 to 7, has the following specific operating steps: Step 1: When it is necessary to switch the reclining chair from a sitting position to a reclining position, the user inputs the desired reclining angle through the touch panel on the armrest (4), and simultaneously controls the first electric telescopic cylinder (5) and the second electric telescopic cylinder (9) to push the backrest body (102) and the leg support body (103) to rotate relative to the seat body (101) around the hinge assembly (104). During the rotation process, the angle sensor (17) provides real-time feedback on the rotation angle of the backrest body (102) and the leg support body (103). After the backrest body (102) and the leg support body (103) rotate to the target angle, the first electric telescopic cylinder (5) and the second electric telescopic cylinder (9) are stopped, thus completing the switch between sitting and reclining modes. Step 2: When it is necessary to adjust the height of the recliner, start the drive motor (12) through the touch panel on the armrest frame (4) to drive the belt pulley transmission assembly (13) to rotate, drive the two bidirectional ball screws (15) to rotate synchronously, drive the two second connecting seats (10) to move closer or further apart along the mounting cavity (14), and push the support arm (7) to deflect during the movement of the second connecting seats (10), thereby driving the chair frame assembly (1) to rise or fall as a whole, and complete the height adjustment; Step 3: When it is necessary to adjust the bearing area of ​​the base assembly (3), first loosen the locking bolt (308) on the inner side of the support beam (301), pull the support longitudinal beam (303), and the second connecting rod (304) slides out from the telescopic cavity (306). Adjust the overall area of ​​the base composed of the fixed frame and the movable frame, expand the overall support area, and then tighten the locking bolt (308) again to fix the second connecting rod (304). Step 4: Based on the user's preference for seat firmness, activate the inflation / deflation device (16) via the touch panel on the armrest (4). Inflate or deflate the airbag (204) with gas via the inflation / deflation device (16) to adjust the internal air pressure of each airbag (204) and adjust the overall support firmness of the fabric assembly (2) so that the surface curve of the fabric assembly (2) conforms to the ergonomic curve. Step 5: The fabric component (2) is connected to the chair frame component (1) by the hook side (105) and the loop side (202) of the Velcro. When the fabric component (2) needs to be cleaned, simply tear off the Velcro and remove the fabric component (2) from the chair frame component (1) for cleaning or replacement.
