Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a piece of furniture, in particular to a cushion linkage mechanism and a folding sofa bed. Background Art
[0002] The bed is one of the essential household items in people's home life. However, the bed usually occupies a large area and often occupies a considerable living space. In order to improve the reasonable use of the area, people have improved the use of the bed to obtain a larger activity space. Therefore, the sofa bed industry was born.
[0003] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is the unfolded stereogram of the current folding sofa bed and Figure 2 yes Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in order to ensure that the position of the seat cushion S1 does not shift during the unfolding and folding movement of the folding sofa bed S, the seat cushion S1 is usually directly fixed on the bed frame S2. As a result, the folding sofa bed S cannot avoid the interference between the seat cushion S1 and various linkage mechanisms during the unfolding and folding movement. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, there is interference between the seat cushion S1 and the foot plate S3, so a groove S4 must be made on the side where the seat cushion S1 and the foot plate S3 are adjacent to each other to reduce the squeezing of the foot plate S3 on the seat cushion S1. This not only makes the design of the seat cushion S1 more difficult, but also affects the appearance of the seat cushion S1. Utility Model Content
[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides a seat cushion linkage mechanism and a folding sofa bed, which solves the problem that the current folding sofa bed needs to have grooves in the seat cushion to avoid footboards.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:
[0006] In a first aspect, a seat cushion linkage mechanism is provided, which is applied to the linkage between the seat cushion and the footboard of a single-fold sofa bed. It includes two linkage members, two chute members and a connecting rod. The two linkage members are symmetrically arranged on both sides in the width direction of the single-fold sofa bed. Each linkage member includes a first linkage rod and a second linkage rod. One end of the first linkage rod is connected to one end of the second linkage rod. The connection end of the first linkage rod and the second linkage rod has a pivot point, and the pivot point is pivotally connected to the bed frame on the side of the single-fold sofa bed close to the footboard. The two chute members are symmetrically arranged on the footboards on both sides of the single-fold sofa bed. Each chute member has a chute and a sliding rod, and the sliding rod passes through the chute and is connected to the other end of the first linkage rod. Both ends of the connecting rod are connected to the other ends of the second linkage rods of the two linkage members. The connecting rod is connected to the seat cushion. When the single-fold sofa bed is in the unfolded state, the other end of the first linkage rod is located on the side close to the bed frame in the chute, and the seat cushion is located in the arc-shaped groove of the footboard. During the folding process of the single-fold sofa bed, the footboard drives the other end of the first linkage rod to slide away from the bed frame in the chute, and the first linkage rod and the second linkage rod rotate around the pivot point. The connecting rod drives the seat cushion to move away from the bed frame and the arc-shaped groove of the footboard and slide out of the arc-shaped groove of the footboard.
[0007] In one embodiment, the first linkage rod and the second linkage rod are of an integral structure.
[0008] In one embodiment, the pivot point is a circular hole, and the first linkage rod and the second linkage rod are pivotally connected to the bed frame by a pivot rod passing through the circular hole.
[0009] In one embodiment, the chute member further has a chute plate, the chute plate is fixed at the lower notch position of the arc-shaped groove of the footboard, the chute is located on the chute plate, and the extending direction of the chute faces the bed frame.
[0010] In one embodiment, the chute is a rectangular through hole.
[0011] In one embodiment, it further includes: a decorative plate, the decorative plate corresponds to the shape of the footboard, and the decorative plate is attached to the outer side of the footboard.

As shown in the figure, the seat cushion linkage mechanism 10 of this embodiment is applied to the linkage between the seat cushion 201 and the footrest 202 of a one-fold sofa bed. The seat cushion linkage mechanism 10 includes two linkage members 1, two chute members 2 and a connecting rod 3. The two linkage members 1 are symmetrically arranged on both sides in the width direction of the one-fold sofa bed. Each linkage member 1 includes a first linkage rod 11 and a second linkage rod 12. One end of the first linkage rod 11 is connected to one end of the second linkage rod 12. In this embodiment, the first linkage rod 11 and the second linkage rod 12 are of an integral structure. The connecting end of the first linkage rod 11 and the second linkage rod 12 has a pivot point 13. The pivot point 13 is pivotally connected to the bed frame 203 on the side of the one-fold sofa bed close to the footrest 202. The pivot point 13 is a round hole, and the first linkage rod 11 and the second linkage rod 12 are pivotally connected to the bed frame 203 by a pivot rod passing through the round hole.
[0032] As described above, the two chute members 2 are symmetrically arranged on the footrests 202 on both sides of the one-fold sofa bed. Each chute member 2 has a chute 21 and a sliding rod 22. The sliding rod 22 passes through the chute 21 and is connected to the other end of the first linkage rod 11. In this embodiment, the chute member 2 further has a chute plate 23. The chute plate 23 is fixed at the lower notch position of the arc-shaped groove 2021 of the footrest 202. The chute plate 23 can be specifically fixed to the footrest 202 by screws. The chute 21 is located on the chute plate 23, and the extending direction of the chute 21 faces the bed frame 203. The chute 21 is a rectangular through hole. Both ends of the connecting rod 3 are connected to the other ends of the second linkage rods 12 of the two linkage members 1. The connecting rod 3 is connected to the seat cushion 201.
[0033] In the seat cushion linkage mechanism 10 of this embodiment, the pivot point 13 of the first linkage rod 11 and the second linkage rod 12 is pivotally connected to the bed frame 203, the other end of the first linkage rod 11 is arranged on the footrest 202 through the chute member 2, the other end of the second linkage rod 12 is connected to the connecting rod 3, and at the same time, the seat cushion 201 is fixed on the connecting rod 3. In this way, when the one-fold sofa bed is in the unfolded state, the other end of the first linkage rod 11 is located on the side close to the bed frame 203 inside the chute 21, and the seat cushion 201 is located inside the arc-shaped groove 2021 of the footrest 202.
[0034] As described above, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , which are respectively the schematic diagrams of the seat cushion linkage mechanism of the first embodiment of this application connecting the seat cushion and the footrest Figure 2 and schematic Figure 3 , where Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the semi-closed state of the one-fold sofa bed, Figure 7It is a schematic diagram of the folded state of a single-fold sofa bed. As shown in the figure, during the folding process of the single-fold sofa bed, the other end of the first linkage rod 11 is driven by the footboard 202 to slide away from the bed frame 203 in the chute 21, thereby driving the first linkage rod 11 and the second linkage rod 12 to rotate around the pivot point 13. Furthermore, the connecting rod 3 drives the seat cushion 201 away from the bed frame 203 and the arc-shaped groove 2021 of the footboard 202 and slides out of the arc-shaped groove 2021 of the footboard 202. Conversely, during the unfolding process of the single-fold sofa bed, the connecting rod 3 drives the seat cushion 201 close to the bed frame 203 and the arc-shaped groove 2021 of the footboard 202 and slides into the arc-shaped groove 2021 of the footboard 202. In this way, during the unfolding and folding processes of the single-fold sofa bed, interference between the seat cushion 201 and the footboard 202 can be avoided, and at the same time, the seat cushion 201 can move into place when the single-fold sofa bed is in the fully opened or fully folded state. The seat cushion linkage mechanism 10 of this embodiment enables the seat cushion 201 not to require a slot design during design, making the design more convenient and diverse, and the overall appearance more beautiful.
