[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0016] A support leg for adjusting the height of a sofa comprises a mounting plate 1, a threaded sleeve 2, an adjusting rod 3 and a base plate 5. The mounting plate 1 is used for being fixedly connected to the lower end of the sofa, the threaded sleeve 2 cooperates with the adjusting rod 3 to adjust the height, and the base plate 5 is used for being supported on the ground.
[0017] The threaded sleeve 2 is fixedly installed at the center of the lower end of the mounting plate 1 and is vertically arranged downward. The mounting plate 1 has at least four mounting holes evenly distributed around its center. When the mounting plate 1 is installed at the lower end of the sofa, it is locked at the lower end of the sofa by passing bolts through the mounting holes.
[0018] The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 2 is provided with an internal thread, the adjusting rod 3 matches the threaded sleeve 2, the adjusting rod 3 is vertically arranged, the upper end of the adjusting rod 3 has a threaded portion inserted into the threaded sleeve 2, and the surface of the threaded portion is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread.
[0019] A mounting groove 6 is provided at the center of the upper end of the base plate 5, and the lower end of the adjusting rod 3 is mounted in the mounting groove 6 through a bearing 7 for rotation. An adjusting block 4 is fixed on the adjusting rod 3, and the adjusting block 4 is located between the bearing 7 and the threaded portion. The adjusting rod 3 is rotated by rotating the adjusting block 4 by hand or with a tool.
[0020] The upper end of the threaded sleeve is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the sofa through the mounting plate 1, the upper end of the adjusting rod 3 is inserted into the threaded sleeve and is threadedly connected with the threaded sleeve, and the lower end of the adjusting rod 3 is rotatably mounted on the bottom plate 5 through the bearing 7, and the bottom plate 5 is supported on the ground. Therefore, when the adjusting rod 3 is rotated to adjust the height of the support foot, due to the rotational connection between the adjusting rod 3 and the bottom plate 5, the friction between the bottom plate 5 and the ground will not affect the rotation of the adjusting rod 3, thereby reducing the force required for the rotation of the adjusting rod 3, and the adjusting rod 3 can be rotated more easily. In addition, the internal thread and the external thread have a smaller inclination angle and a smaller thread pitch, thereby reducing the torque of the rotation of the adjusting rod.
[0021] According to a preferred technical solution, a first arc surface groove 8 is formed on the lower end section of the adjusting rod 3, a second arc surface groove 9 corresponding to the first arc surface groove 8 is formed on the bottom of the mounting groove 6, and a ball 10 is filled between the first arc surface groove 8 and the second arc surface groove 9.
[0022] The ball 10 is movably arranged between the first arc surface groove 8 and the second arc surface groove 9, the lower end of the ball 10 is supported in the second arc surface groove 9, and the upper end of the ball 10 is pressed in the first arc surface groove 8, so that the lower end of the adjusting rod 3 is pressed against the bottom of the mounting groove 6 through the ball 10; usually, in order to enable the adjusting rod 3 to withstand greater pressure, the adjusting rod 3 needs to be pressed against the bottom of the mounting groove 6 to obtain support, but if the lower end of the adjusting rod 3 is directly pressed against the bottom of the mounting groove 6, sliding friction will be generated with the bottom of the mounting groove 6 when the adjusting rod 3 rotates, which will not only increase the resistance to rotation of the adjusting rod 3, but also cause wear to the bottom of the mounting groove 6 and the lower end of the adjusting rod 3. In the utility model, due to the movable arrangement of the ball 10, the lower end of the adjusting rod 3 will not directly contact the bottom of the mounting groove 6 to generate sliding friction, thereby reducing the resistance to rotation of the adjusting rod 3 and reducing the wear of the lower end of the rotating rod and the bottom of the mounting groove 6.
[0023] According to a preferred technical solution, the horizontal cross section of the adjusting block 4 is polygonal, and the adjusting rod 3 is arranged through the center of the adjusting block 4 .
[0024] By setting it into a polygonal shape, it is easy to hold or rotate with tools without slipping.
[0025] According to a preferred technical solution, at least two positioning posts 12 are protruding upward from the upper end of the mounting plate 1 , and the at least two positioning posts 12 are evenly distributed around the center of the mounting plate 1 .
[0026] Correspondingly, a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning column 12 is opened at the bottom of the sofa. When the legs are installed, the sofa is usually laid down with its lower end standing on its side. When the legs are installed in this way, the legs will fall downward due to gravity, so it is necessary to hold the legs with another hand, which is troublesome. In the utility model, the positioning columns 12 on the mounting plate 1 are inserted into the positioning holes on the sofa before the bolts are tightened, which can prevent the legs from falling downward.
[0027] According to a preferred technical solution, a silicone pad 11 is glued to the lower end of the bottom plate 5 .
[0028] The silicone pad 11 is used to prevent the bottom plate 5 from making hard contact with the ground, and the sofa is displaced during use by means of the friction between the silicone pad 11 and the ground.
