Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sofa chairs, in particular to an automatically adjustable leg support for sofa chairs. Background Art

[0002] Existing sofa chairs are generally provided with leg rests to support the legs, but the existing sofa chairs have the following problems: 1. A single fulcrum is used between the leg rest and the main body for swinging, so the swing is relatively stiff (and the swing angle is generally 90 degrees), affecting the comfort; 2. The leg rest adopts a single swinging structure, so its length may not be enough to support the entire leg, affecting the comfort. Of course, there are also some that use an extended leg rest structure, but its integrity is also affected accordingly. Utility Model Content

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an automatically adjustable leg support for a sofa chair comprises:

[0023] A base frame 1, wherein a swingable leg support is provided at the front end of the base frame 1, inner link groups 2 are provided on both sides of the leg support, and outer link groups 3 are provided on both sides of the inner link group 2;

[0024] A linear drive device 5, a connecting rod 4 is provided between the driving end of the linear drive device 5 and the middle part of the leg support seat, and the two ends of the connecting rod 4 are pivotally connected to the driving end and the leg support seat respectively. The linear drive device 5 can drive the connecting rod 4 to drive the leg support seat to switch between a position flush with the base frame 1 or flipped to the position of the lower wall of the base frame 1.

[0025] In the actual design, the inner link group 2 and the outer link group 3 are arranged to avoid a gap between the base and the leg rest, so that support is generated between the sofa and the leg rest to facilitate the installation of the cushion body; and the swing angle between the leg rest and the base frame 1 is larger, which can reach nearly 180 degrees, so that the leg rest 10 can be hidden when not in use.

[0026] Specifically, the inner link group 2 and the outer link group 3 are both meshing structures, thereby achieving stepless adjustment, making the leg support seat swing more linearly.

[0027] In the embodiment of the utility model, the inner link group 2 includes an inner first connecting plate 21 pivotally mounted on the base frame 1, an inner tooth portion 20 provided on the leg support seat, and an inner second connecting plate 22 provided between the inner first connecting plate 21 and the inner tooth portion 20, and the outer link group 3 includes an outer first connecting plate 31 pivotally mounted on the leg support seat, an outer tooth portion 30 provided on the base frame 1, and an outer second connecting plate 32 provided between the outer tooth portion 30 and the outer first connecting plate 31;

[0028] The inner second connecting plate 22 is pivotally connected to the outer first connecting plate 31 and the outer second connecting plate 32 respectively;

[0029] The outer second connecting plate 32 is pivotally connected to the inner first connecting plate and the inner second connecting plate respectively, thereby realizing mutual restraint, providing greater supporting force, and ensuring the stability of the leg support seat.

[0030] Specifically, the inner tooth portion and the outer tooth portion are staggered.

[0031] In the embodiment of the utility model, the inner second connecting plate 22 and the outer second connecting plate 32 have the same structure, including a second body and second matching tooth portions 62 provided at two ends of the second body.

[0032] Specifically, the inner first connecting plate 21 and the outer first connecting plate 31 have the same structure, including a first body and a first matching tooth portion 61 provided at at least one end of the first body. In actual design, the structure of the connecting plates can be the same, thereby saving procurement costs and mold costs, and the leg support seat can be swung steplessly by engaging with each other; of course, in actual design, other structures, such as a latching tooth structure, can also achieve the same swinging effect.

[0033] In the embodiment of the utility model, the connecting rod 4 includes a main body and a crank portion 40 extending in an arc shape from the main body toward the leg rest seat. The end of the crank portion is pivotally connected to the leg rest seat, thereby realizing a 180-degree swing structure of the leg rest seat, which has a simple and stable structure.

[0034] Specifically, the linear drive device 5 includes a driving rod 50 arranged on the base frame 1, a ball screw arranged in the cavity of the driving rod 50, a screw slider 52 slidably installed on the ball screw, and a rotating motor 51 for driving the ball screw to rotate. The screw slider 52 is pivotally connected to the rear end of the connecting rod 4 and can drive it to move horizontally, thereby realizing the swing of the leg support seat.

[0035] In the embodiment of the utility model, the linear drive device 5 is arranged on the lower wall of the base frame 1 .

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
