Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of furniture, in particular to a backrest folding and unfolding mechanism. Background Art
[0002] In the field of sofa technology, in order to further improve and expand the performance of sofas, some sofas can be expanded into sofa beds. Therefore, when designing, the backrest of the sofa is usually designed to be a flippable structure. When used as a sofa, the backrest is erected, and when used as a sofa bed, the backrest is flipped backwards to a horizontal state as a part of the sofa bed. The backrest of existing sofa beds is usually flipped backwards, so it is necessary to reserve enough space behind the backrest of the sofa, which seriously limits the placement and use space of the sofa bed in the room. Usually, the indoor space is limited. If the backrest of the sofa bed is placed against the wall, the sofa needs to be moved every time the backrest is flipped, which is very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, a second connecting seat is provided at the lower end of the backrest body, a supporting foot is rotatably provided on the second connecting seat, and a transmission member is provided between the supporting foot and the bracket assembly; when the backrest body is rotated to a horizontal state, the transmission member drives the supporting foot to rotate to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane; when the backrest body is rotated to a backrest state, the supporting foot rotates and retracts to the area between the backrest body and the backrest frame. When the backrest body is unfolded to a horizontal state, the supporting foot is automatically opened to a vertical state by the transmission member, which is more convenient to operate.
[0012] Preferably, the transmission member is configured as a transmission arm, one end of the transmission arm is rotatably connected to the upper end of the supporting foot, and the other end of the transmission arm is rotatably connected to the upper end of the lower connecting arm.
[0013] Preferably, the supporting legs are configured into two groups, and a connecting rod is provided between the two groups of supporting legs.
[0014] Preferably, when the backrest body is in the backrest state, a preset obtuse angle α is formed between the surface where the backrest body is located and the horizontal plane, wherein 100°≤α≤110°.
[0015] Preferably, a stopper is fixedly provided on the backrest frame at the upper side of the bracket assembly, and when the backrest body is in the backrest state, the stopper abuts against the rear side of the backrest body. When the backrest body is used as a sofa backrest, the back side of the backrest body is supported by the stopper, thereby increasing the pressure bearing capacity of the backrest body.
[0016] Therefore, the utility model has the beneficial effects of stable structure, convenient use, and no need to reserve space on the back side of the backrest. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
