[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 15 In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a seat 1, a backrest 2, a lower limb support 3, a lower limb drive mechanism 4, an armrest 5, a base 6, a seat drive mechanism 7, a backrest linkage mechanism 8 and an armrest linkage mechanism 9. For ease of explanation, the X direction in the figure is the front-to-back direction, the Y direction is the left-right direction, and the Z direction is the up-down direction. Fig.12 and Fig.13 The dual-purpose sitting and lying device of the present application can switch between a sitting state and a lying state. Specifically, if the dual-purpose sitting and lying device needs to be changed from a sitting state to a lying state, the rear side of the seat 1 first moves forward in the first area L1, and in the first area L1, the backrest 2 is always in a tilted state; further, the rear side of the seat 1 enters the second area L2 and gradually moves forward, and in the second area L2, the backrest 2 gradually flips backward from the tilted state to a lying state; further, the lower limb driving mechanism 4 drives the lower limb supporting part 3 to flip and lift upward (it should be understood that the step of flipping the lower limb supporting part 3 upward can also be advanced). In the above manner, the dual-purpose sitting and lying device is changed from a sitting state to a lying state. In the dual-purpose sitting and lying device of this embodiment, when changing from a sitting state to a lying state, the rear side of the seat 1 first moves forward in the first area L1, and the backrest 2 remains in a tilted state during this process. This method ensures that the backrest 2 can flip forward and backward relative to the seat 1 in a large range, and ensures that the dual-purpose sitting and lying device has a zero wall-leaning function. The following will be described in detail in conjunction with the specific structure of the sitting and lying dual-purpose device.

[0032] Combination Figure 4 The seat 1 is used to support the user's buttocks. In the present embodiment, it includes a seat frame 1A and a seat cushion 1B. The seat cushion 1B is installed on the upper side of the seat frame 1A, but it should be understood that the seat frame 1A and the seat cushion 1B can also be designed as an integrated structure, for example, integrally formed by injection molding. Side rollers T1 are provided on the left and right sides of the seat frame 1A. The side rollers T1 roll with the slide grooves 6A of the bottom frame 6, so that the seat 1 and the bottom frame 6 roll in the front-to-back direction X. But it should be understood that the side rollers T1 can also be adjusted into strip guides, which slide in the slide grooves 6A through the strip guides, so that the seat 1 and the bottom frame 6 slide in the front-to-back direction X. A front roller T2 is provided on the front side of the seat frame 1A. The front roller T2 touches the ground and can assist the overall movement of the seat 1. Combined with Fig.12 and Fig.13 The seat 1 is mounted on the bottom frame 6, and the seat 1 can move forward and backward on the bottom frame 6, so that the rear side of the seat 1 switches between the first area L1 and the second area L2, and the second area L2 is located in front of the first area L1. The seat driving mechanism 7 is installed between the seat 1 and the bottom frame 6 to drive the seat 1 to slide forward and backward.

[0033] The backrest 2 is located at the rear side of the seat 1, and is used to support the back of the user. It is configured to be able to flip forward and backward relative to the seat 1. In this embodiment, the backrest 2 includes a back frame 2A and a back cushion 2B. The back cushion 2B is installed on the front side of the back frame 2A. The back frame 2A and the back cushion 2B can also be designed as an integrated structure, for example, integrally formed by injection molding. A massage movement P is installed on the back frame 2A of the backrest 2. The massage movement P can move along the back frame 2A. The back cushion 2B is provided with an opening S for the massage parts of the massage movement P to pass through for massage. The massage movement P can be a common massage movement with functions such as kneading, tapping, and pressing, which will not be described in detail.

[0034] The backrest linkage mechanism 8 is installed between the seat 1 and the backrest 2, and is combined with Figures 12 to 15 , the backrest linkage mechanism 8 is configured as follows: when the rear side of the seat 1 is located in the first area L1, it is in a linkage obstruction state that restricts the seat 1 from driving the backrest 2 to flip, and when the rear side of the seat 1 is located in the second area L2, it is in a linkage permission state that allows the seat 1 to drive the backrest 2 to flip. In this embodiment, the backrest linkage mechanism 8 includes a seat connecting rod 8A, a backrest connecting rod 8B and a base frame connecting rod 8C. The middle portion of the seat connecting rod 8A is pivotally connected to the seat 1, and its two ends are pivotally connected to the first end of the backrest connecting rod 8B and the first end of the base frame connecting rod 8C, respectively. The second end of the backrest connecting rod 8B is pivotally connected to the backrest 2, and the second end of the base frame connecting rod 8C is pivotally connected to the base frame 1. As Figure 12 to Figure 14 When the rear side of the seat 1 gradually moves forward in the first area L1, the backrest linkage mechanism 8 gradually changes from the linkage obstructed state to the critical state. After the rear side of the seat 1 enters the second area L2, the backrest linkage mechanism 8 changes from the critical state to the linkage allowed state. In this process, the angle a between the lower sides of the seat connecting rod 8A and the backrest connecting rod 8B gradually changes from greater than 180 degrees to less than 180 degrees. By utilizing the delay effect of the relative angle change of the seat connecting rod 8A and the backrest connecting rod 8B, the seat 1 can slide forward a certain distance relative to the base frame 6 before driving the backrest 2 to start the reclining action, thereby realizing the zero-wall-relaxation function of the seat 1 sliding forward and linking the backrest 2 to completely lie down.

[0035] The lower limb support part 3 is pivotally connected to the front side of the seat 1, and can be flipped up and down relative to the front side of the seat 1. In this embodiment, the lower limb support part 3 includes a frame part 3A and a flip part 3B. The frame part 3A is pivotally connected to the seat 1, and the flip part 3B is installed on the frame part 3A.

In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 4B is a common connecting rod assembly, which will not be described in detail.

[0037] The armrests 5 are arranged on the left and right sides of the seat 1. The armrest linkage mechanism 9 is arranged between the armrests 5 and the backrest 2. Fig.13 When the backrest 2 is flipped from front to back, the armrest 5 is driven to move downward by the armrest linkage mechanism 9, and when it is flipped from back to front, the armrest 5 is driven to move upward by the armrest linkage mechanism 9. In this embodiment, the armrest linkage mechanism 9 includes an upper connecting rod 9A, a lower connecting rod 9B, a front connecting rod 9C, a rear connecting rod 9D, an armrest linkage rod 9E and an auxiliary connecting rod 9F. The upper connecting rod 9A, the lower connecting rod 9B, the front connecting rod 9C and the rear connecting rod 9D form a four-link assembly. The upper connecting rod 9A is connected to the armrest 5, the lower connecting rod 9B is installed on the seat 1, one end of the armrest linkage rod 9E is pivotally connected to the backrest 2, and the other end is pivotally connected to the rear connecting rod 9D (it can also be adjusted to be pivotally connected to the front connecting rod 9C).
