[0053] It has been found through research that the swing structures of electric sofas in the related art all adopt linear reciprocating motion and can only move back and forth along a preset direction. When reaching the maximum stroke, the swing mechanism will stop moving for a moment and then reverse. At low speeds, there is no obvious sense of reverse jamming. When the swing frequency is increased, there is a more obvious sense of jamming during reverse.

[0054] Based on the above research, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a swing mechanism and an electric rocking chair. The driving motor drives the crank arm to perform circular motion, thereby driving the swing frame to swing in a circular motion along an elliptical trajectory. During reverse, the crank arm is always rotating without pausing, thereby reducing the sense of jamming during the swing process and improving the user experience.

[0055] All the defects existing in the above solutions are the results obtained by the inventors through practice and careful research. Therefore, the process of discovering the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present disclosure in this article for the above problems should all be the contributions made by the inventors to the present disclosure during the process of the present disclosure.

[0056] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0057] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0058] See Figure 1 , Figure 1The structural schematic diagram of the swing mechanism is shown, including: a base 100, a swing frame 200, a driving motor 300, and a crank arm 400; the swing frame 200 is hinged to the base 100; the driving motor 300 is fixedly arranged on the base 100; one end of the crank arm 400 is rotatably connected to the swing frame 200, and the other end is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 310 of the driving motor 300; the driving motor 300 is adapted to drive the crank arm 400 to perform a circular motion when rotating, thereby driving the swing frame 200 to perform a cyclic swing along an elliptical trajectory. By driving the crank arm 400 to perform a circular motion by the driving motor 300, thereby driving the swing frame 200 to perform a cyclic swing along an elliptical trajectory, during commutation, the crank arm 400 has been rotating without pausing, thereby reducing the sense of jerk during the swing and improving the user experience.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in at least one embodiment, the crank arm 400 includes an arm body 410, a rotating bearing 420, and an eccentric wheel 430; the rotating bearing 420 is embedded in the arm body 410; the eccentric wheel 430 passes through the rotating bearing 420 and is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 310 of the driving motor 300. By setting the eccentric wheel 430, the end of the arm body 410 close to the drive shaft 310 performs a circular motion, thereby driving the swing frame 200 to perform a cyclic swing along an elliptical trajectory, thus avoiding the sense of jerk during commutation.

[0060] It should be noted that the swing amplitude can be adjusted according to the size of the eccentric wheel 430, so as to meet the usage requirements of different users.

[0061] In order to ensure that the drive shaft 310 does not wobble during operation, in at least one embodiment, the swing mechanism further includes a support frame 500; the support frame 500 is fixedly arranged on the base 100; the drive shaft 310 of the driving motor 300 passes through the eccentric wheel 430 and is rotatably connected to the support frame 500.

Since the swing frame 200 completes one swing when the crank arm 400 rotates one week, the swing frequency of the crank arm 400 can be detected by the Hall sensor 600 to complete the feedback of the swing frequency of the swing frame 200. When the swing speed is greater than or less than the frequency required by the user, the controller can adaptively adjust the driving frequency of the driving motor 300, so that the swing frequency of the swing frame 200 always meets the user's requirements.

[0063] It should be noted that the swing amplitude of the swing frame 200 in the horizontal direction is greater than that in the vertical direction, that is, the swing trajectory of the swing frame 200 is elliptical.

At the same time, the output direction of the driving shaft 310 is changed to make the structure of the swing mechanism more compact.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 5 , at least one embodiment provides an electric rocking chair, including: a rocking chair telescopic frame 700 and the swing mechanism as described above; the rocking chair telescopic frame 700 is arranged on the swing mechanism. By driving the crank arm 400 to perform circular motion by the driving motor 300, the swing frame 200 is driven to perform circular swinging along an elliptical trajectory. During commutation, the crank arm 400 has been rotating without pausing, thereby reducing the jamming feeling during swinging and improving the user experience.

[0070] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0071] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, terms such as "first", "second" and other numerical terms used herein do not imply an order or sequence unless explicitly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer or section discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer or section.

[0072] Spatially relative terms, such as "inner", "outer", "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "upper", etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures. In addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as "below" or "beneath" another element or feature will then be oriented "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

[0073] In the above discussion, unless otherwise specified, when used to describe a numerical value, terms such as "about", "approximately", "substantially", etc. mean a variation of + / −10% of that value.

[0074] Based on the above inspiration from the ideal embodiments of the present utility model, through the above description, relevant staff can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of the present utility model.
