Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beds, in particular to a connection structure between a mounting seat of a linear actuator of an electric bed and a fixed bed frame. Background Art

[0002] As people's quality of life improves, the functional requirements for beds are getting higher and higher. For example, before going to bed, people generally want to read books, watch TV or use their mobile phones in a semi-lying or sitting position, and when falling asleep, they want to lie flat. Therefore, the backboard is usually hinged to the fixed bed frame through the backboard frame or directly to the fixed bed frame, and then a linear actuator such as an electric push rod is used to drive the backboard to rise around its own hinge axis to a semi-lying or sitting position or to fall to a lying position. Generally, the legboard is also hinged to the fixed bed frame through the backboard frame or directly to the fixed bed frame, and then a linear actuator such as an electric push rod is used to drive the legboard to rise or fall around its own hinge axis. The legboard is generally driven by a linkage structure with the backboard drive or a structure that adds a linear actuator separately.

[0003] In the prior art, no matter whether one linear actuator or two linear actuators are used, the connection structure between the linear actuator and the electric bed frame is generally that one end of the linear actuator is hinged to a mounting seat, and the other end of the linear actuator is hinged to a rotating plate such as the back plate or leg board mentioned above, or is hinged to a rotating frame such as the back plate frame with a back plate fixed thereto or the leg board frame with a leg board fixed thereto.

[0004] However, the connection structure between the mounting base and the fixed bed frame of the electric bed linear actuator in the prior art has the following common shortcomings: the connection between the mounting base and the fixed bed frame adopts a welding and bolting structure, which cannot be disassembled during transportation and storage and needs to be packaged as a whole with the fixed bed frame, which increases the packaging volume and relatively increases the packaging, transportation and storage costs. It needs to be bolted and screwed, and installation and disassembly require the help of tools, making installation and disassembly relatively inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a connection structure between a mounting seat and a fixed bed frame of an electric bed linear actuator, in which the mounting seat is detachable relative to a fixed frame and can be installed and removed without the aid of tools.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is to provide a connection structure between a mounting seat of a linear actuator of an electric bed and a fixed bed frame, wherein one end of the mounting seat is hinged to one end of the linear actuator via a hinge pin, the other end of the mounting seat is abutted against the fixed bed frame, and a portion between the two ends of the mounting seat is buckled with the fixed bed frame.

[0007] After adopting the above structure, the connection structure between the mounting seat of the electric bed linear actuator of the utility model and the fixed bed frame has the following advantages: since a portion between the two ends of the mounting seat, such as the middle of the length, is engaged with the fixed bed frame, and the top surface of the other end of the mounting seat is against the bottom surface of the fixed bed frame, the mounting seat can be disassembled relative to the fixed frame on the basis of ensuring that the connection structure is firm, stable and reliable, and can be disassembled before transportation and storage to relatively reduce the packaging volume, and relatively save packaging, transportation and storage costs. And since one part is abutted and the other part is hung, it can be installed or disassembled without the help of tools, making installation and disassembly relatively convenient.

[0008] Furthermore, there is a horizontal pin at the top between the two ends of the mounting seat, a hanging block is fixed on the middle horizontal bar in the middle of the length of the fixed bed frame, and the top of the other end of the mounting seat abuts against the bottom surface of a seat board longitudinal bar of the seat board frame of the fixed bed frame. After adopting the above specific snap-fit ​​structure, on the basis of ensuring that the connection structure is firm, stable and reliable, it is not necessary to use tools, making installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting seat is a first U-shaped block extending in the length direction and opening upward, a pair of hinge pin holes are provided on the two vertical plates at one end of the first U-shaped block, a pair of upward ear plates are provided in the middle of the first U-shaped block, a pair of transverse pin holes are provided on the pair of ear plates, the transverse pins are accommodated in the pair of transverse pin holes and are axially limited at both ends, and the top surfaces of the two first vertical plates at the other end of the first U-shaped block are abutment surfaces against the bottom surface of the seat frame longitudinal rod of the seat frame of the fixed bed frame. After the mounting seat adopts the above specific structure, the structure of the mounting seat itself is more solid, stable and reliable, and the attachment or removal of the transverse pins and the hanging block is more convenient.

[0010] Furthermore, a contact steel plate having a width greater than that of the rectangular steel tube of the seat frame longitudinal rod is fixed on the bottom surface of the rectangular steel tube of the seat frame of the bed frame. With the above specific structure, the contact between the first U-shaped block of the mounting seat and the bottom surface of the rectangular steel tube of the seat frame longitudinal rod of the bed frame is more stable, more reliable, and more convenient.

[0011] Furthermore, there is a flexible plate between the abutting surface of the abutting steel plate and the two first vertical plates at the other end of the first U-shaped block. After adopting the above structure, during the driving process of the linear actuator, the flexible plate can play a role in relative buffering, friction reduction and noise elimination for the force transmitted to the abutting surface of the mounting seat through the hinge shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the hanging block is a second U-shaped block with an opening toward one side of the linear actuator, and a pair of U-shaped grooves with notches facing upwards are provided on the two second vertical plates of the second U-shaped block to accommodate the transverse pins. After the hanging block adopts the above specific structure, the hanging of the transverse pin is more secure and installation or removal is more convenient.

[0013] Furthermore, the U-shaped groove is inclined in a direction that the side close to the linear actuator is higher and the side away from the linear actuator is lower. With the above structure, the technical effect of more secure hanging of the cross pin and more convenient installation or removal is further ensured.

[0014] Furthermore, the top surface of the other end of the mounting seat is an inclined surface with a high inner side and a low outer side. With the above structure, the mounting angle of the mounting block is more convenient for the linear actuator to apply force, making the driving force of the linear actuator stronger, the driving more stable and reliable, and the mechanical properties of the mounting block better.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the mounting seat is hinged to the rear end of the linear actuator housing. With the above structure, the linear actuator is connected to the fixed bed frame via the mounting seat, and the free end of the driving rod of the linear actuator is connected to the rotating plate or the rotating frame, which makes it easier for the linear actuator to apply force, making the driving force of the linear actuator stronger, more stable and more reliable.

It should be noted that the description of these specific implementation methods is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in each specific implementation method of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown.

[0030] The end of the rotating plate of the electric bed in the prior art close to the fixed bed frame 11 is generally hinged to the fixed bed frame 11 via a rotating plate frame or the rotating plate, and the linear actuator 2 is used to drive the rotating plate to rise or fall around its own hinge axis. The rotating plate generally includes a back plate, a thigh plate and a calf plate, and the rotating frame generally includes a back plate frame 12 fixed with a back plate, a thigh plate frame 13 fixed with a thigh plate and a calf plate frame 14 fixed with a calf plate, the back plate frame 12 or the end of the back plate close to the fixed bed frame 11 is hinged to the fixed bed frame 11, the thigh plate frame 13 or the end of the thigh plate close to the fixed bed frame 11 is hinged to the fixed bed frame 11, the calf plate frame 14 or the end of the calf plate close to the fixed bed frame 11 is hinged to the fixed bed frame 11, the thigh plate frame 13 and the calf plate frame 12 are hinged to each other, or the thigh plate frame and the calf plate are hinged to each other. One end of the linear actuator 2 is hinged to a mounting seat 11, and the other end of the linear actuator 2 is hinged to a rotating plate frame or a rotating plate. If one linear actuator 2 is used, the other end of the linear actuator 2 is generally hinged to the back plate frame 12 or the back plate. If two linear actuators are used, the other end of the other linear actuator is generally hinged to the thigh plate frame 13 or the thigh plate. The fixed bed frame 11 generally includes a frame and a middle crossbar 111 fixed in the middle of the frame length. The frame generally includes a frame longitudinal bar 112 and a frame crossbar 113. In addition, since the seat frame 114 or the seat itself for fixing the seat is generally fixed in the middle of the length of the two frame longitudinal bars 112 of the frame, the seat frame 114 or the seat itself is generally regarded as a part of the fixed bed frame 11, that is, it can be understood that the fixed bed frame 11 generally includes a frame longitudinal bar 112, a frame crossbar 113, a middle crossbar 111 and a seat frame 114 or a seat. The connection structure 4 between the mounting seat of the linear actuator of the electric bed of the present invention and the fixed bed frame has one end of the mounting seat hinged to one end of the linear actuator 2 via a hinge pin 3. The other end of the linear actuator 2 of the present invention is hinged to a rotating frame such as a backboard frame 12 or a rotating plate such as a backboard. It is not difficult to understand that if an electric bed has only one linear actuator 2, there is only one mounting seat of the linear actuator, and the hinge relationship between the two ends is that one end of the mounting seat described above is hinged to one end of the linear actuator 2 via a hinge pin 3, and the other end of the linear actuator 2 is hinged to a rotating frame such as a backboard frame 12 or a rotating plate such as a backboard, and then the linkage structure between the backboard and the leg board drives the thigh board to be linked. If an electric bed has two linear actuators, there are two mounting seats of the linear actuator, and the hinge relationship between the two ends of the other linear actuator is that one end of the other mounting seat is hinged to one end of the other linear actuator via a hinge pin, and the other end of the other linear actuator is hinged to a rotating frame such as a thigh board frame or a rotating plate such as a thigh board. For the convenience of description, the fixed bed frame 11, the back frame 12, the thigh frame 13 and the calf frame 15 mentioned above are collectively referred to as a bed frame assembly 1. The above is the prior art.

[0031] Regardless of whether an electric bed has one mounting seat or two mounting seats, etc., the connection structure 4 between each mounting seat and the fixed bed frame is the structure described below.

[0032] The inventive points of the utility model are as follows.
