[0046] The utility model provides a detachable hinge structure and a sofa, which are suitable for application scenarios of connecting a seating part and a backrest, and can effectively solve the problem that the backrest and the seating part of the existing sofa cannot have both the functions of relative rotation and detachability.

[0047] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the sofa includes a detachable hinge structure 300 , a seating portion 100 , and a backrest portion 200 .

[0048] Further, see Figure 2 The detachable hinge structure 300 includes a hinge assembly 1 and a detachable connector 2. The hinge assembly 1 includes a fixed base 101 for mounting and fixing to the seating portion 100, a connecting rod 102 having one end hinged to the fixed base 101, a rotating base 103 hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 102, and a lever assembly 104 mounted on the rotating base 103. The detachable connector 2 is used to be mounted and fixed to the backrest portion 200, and the detachable connector 2 is respectively engaged with the rotating base 103 and the lever assembly 104.

[0049] The lever assembly 104 is engaged with the detachable connector 2 to prevent the detachable connector 2 from being separated from the locking state of the rotating base 103 (eg, Figure 3and having a state of being driven to disengage from the detachable connecting member 2 to release the limit between the detachable connecting member 2 and the rotating base 103 (as shown); Figure 2 as shown).

[0050] The detachable hinge structure 300 and the sofa provided in this embodiment are characterized in that the fixed base 101 is installed on the seating portion 100 and the detachable connecting member 2 is installed on the backrest portion 200:

[0051] When the backrest 200 needs to be rotatably mounted on the seating portion 100, the detachable connecting member 2 is engaged with the rotating base 103 and the lever assembly 104 respectively. At this time, the lever assembly 104 is in a locked state engaged with the detachable connecting member 2, which can effectively prevent the detachable connecting member 2 from being separated from the rotating base 103. Therefore, the backrest 200 can be rotated relative to the seating portion 100 through the rotation between the fixed base 101 and the rotating base 103 and the connecting rod 102.

[0052] When the backrest portion 200 needs to be disassembled, the lever assembly 104 is first moved to release the clamping relationship between the lever assembly 104 and the detachable connecting member 2. At this time, the limit between the detachable connecting member 2 and the rotating base 103 is also released, so the detachable connecting member 2 can be directly removed from the rotating base 103, thereby completing the disassembly operation between the backrest portion 200 and the seating portion 100.

[0053] Therefore, the detachable hinge structure 300 and the sofa provided by the present invention can effectively solve the problem that the backrest 200 and the seating part 100 of the existing sofa cannot have both the functions of relative rotation and detachability.

[0054] It should be noted that, since the connecting rod 102 has a certain length, when the backrest portion 200 rotates relative to the seating portion 100, it not only undergoes rotational displacement relative to the seating portion 100, but also undergoes certain translational displacement relative to the seating portion 100. Furthermore, the translational displacement has the following functions and advantages in sofa design:

[0055] ① Translation displacement allows the sofa backrest to not only rotate 200 points, but also move horizontally, so that the space between the various parts of the sofa can be adjusted more flexibly to meet the comfort needs of different users;

[0056] ②Through translational displacement, the backrest can be more accurately positioned on the user's back to provide better support;

[0057] ③ The translation displacement makes it easier to separate the sofa backrest from the seat 100%, so that when cleaning and maintaining the sofa, it is easier to reach the areas that are usually difficult to clean;

[0058] ④ Translation displacement can make the sofa smoother when rotating, without generating excessive friction or resistance due to simple rotation, thus improving the user experience;

[0059] ⑤ For small apartments or environments with limited space, translation displacement can help the sofa to be better stored when not in use. For example, the backrest 200 can be translated to below the seating part 100, thereby saving space;

[0060] ⑥ Translational displacement can bring more functionality to sofa design. For example, it can be designed as a multi-functional sofa bed, and the conversion between different functions can be achieved by translating and rotating the backrest.

[0061] In this embodiment, the detachable connecting member 2 is provided with a first slot 201 for engaging with the rotating base 103 , and a second slot 202 for engaging with the lever assembly 104 .

[0062] Correspondingly, the rotating base 103 is provided with a transverse limiting column 1031 which is inserted into the first slot 201 at a position corresponding to the first slot 201. The transverse limiting column 1031 can limit the vertical direction between the detachable connector 2 and the rotating base 103.

[0063] The lever assembly 104 includes an elastic lever 1041 and a lever pressing plate 1042. The elastic lever 1041 is used to be inserted into the second slot 202 to limit the detachable connector 2 from being separated from the rotating base 103; the lever pressing plate 1042 is fixed on the rotating base 103 to cooperate with the rotating base 103 to press and fix one end of the elastic lever 1041.

[0064] Optionally, the lever pressing plate 1042 is provided with a strip-shaped limiting groove 1042a for the middle part of the elastic lever 1041 to pass through and for limiting the deformation stroke of the elastic lever 1041. When the elastic lever 1041 is moved, it can only be moved within the strip-shaped limiting groove 1042a, so as to avoid excessive movement of the elastic lever 1041, which may damage the elastic lever 1041 and make it unable to restore the deformation spontaneously.

[0065] Furthermore, the other end of the elastic lever 1041 is bent into a ring structure 1041a, so as to increase the force-bearing area available for shifting, improve the convenience of operation and the comfort of the user when shifting the lever.

[0066] In this embodiment, the detachable connecting member 2 is provided with a longitudinal positioning hole 203; the rotating base 103 is provided with a longitudinal limiting post 1032 inserted into the longitudinal positioning hole 203. After the longitudinal limiting post 1032 is inserted into the longitudinal positioning hole 203, the horizontal limiting between the rotating base 103 and the detachable connecting member 2 can be achieved.

[0067] For the detachable hinge structure 300 provided in this embodiment, the detailed disassembly process is as follows:

[0068] S10: First, toggle the elastic lever 1041 so that the elastic lever 1041 disengages from the second card slot 202;

[0069] S20: Then, with the lateral limiting post 1031 as the axis, slightly rotate the detachable connecting member 2 upward so that the longitudinal limiting post 1032 disengages from the longitudinal positioning hole 203;

[0070] In this step, it should be noted that:

[0071] If the longitudinal limiting post 1032 is too long, it may affect the upward rotation of the detachable connecting member 2 with the lateral limiting post 1031 as the axis. Therefore, the length of the longitudinal limiting post 1032 should not be too long. Optionally, when the lever assembly 104 is in the locked state, the top surface of the longitudinal limiting post 1032 is flush with the top surface of the detachable connecting member 2, or the top surface of the longitudinal limiting post 1032 is slightly lower than the top surface of the detachable connecting member 2;

[0072] Furthermore, in order to avoid interference between the longitudinal positioning hole 203 and the longitudinal limiting post 1032, resulting in the inability of the detachable connecting member 2 to rotate upward with the lateral limiting post 1031 as the axis, the longitudinal limiting post 1032 and the longitudinal positioning hole 203 can also be in clearance fit to provide a certain relative movement space between the longitudinal positioning hole 203 and the longitudinal limiting post 1032.

[0073] S30: When the longitudinal limiting post 1032 completely disengages from the longitudinal positioning hole 203, directly take out the detachable connecting member 2 upward so that the lateral limiting post 1031 disengages from the first card slot 201.

[0074] In this embodiment, the number of the connecting rods 102 is two, and the two connecting rods 102 are arranged in parallel. The two connecting rods 102 can provide more stable support. Compared with a single connecting rod 102, the double-connecting-rod design can better disperse pressure and load, reduce the burden on a single connecting rod 102, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire sofa structure. During the use of the sofa, the double-connecting-rod design can prevent the connecting rod 102 from being distorted due to unilateral force, ensuring that the structure and function of the sofa remain in good condition for a long time.

[0075] In summary, the detachable hinge structure 300 and the sofa provided in this embodiment have at least the following advantages:

[0076] ① The detachable connector 2 is respectively connected with the rotating base 103 and the lever assembly 104, and the lever assembly 104 has a locking state and an unlocking state, so as to realize the convenient connection and disassembly of the backrest 200 and the seating part 100. The unique design of the detachable connector 2 and the hinge assembly 1 effectively solves the problem that the backrest 200 and the seating part 100 of the existing sofa cannot take into account the two functions of relative rotation and detachability, making the sofa more flexible in use and maintenance, and meeting the needs of users in different scenarios;

[0077] ② When the backrest portion 200 rotates relative to the seat portion 100, a translation displacement will occur. This technical design has many advantages;

[0078] ③ Through a simple toggle operation, the user can easily unlock the detachable connector 2, making the disassembly and assembly process faster and improving work efficiency.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. All technical solutions generated by replacing or modifying equivalent structures or equivalent processes based on the essential concept of this application using the contents recorded in the specification and drawings of this application, as well as directly or indirectly implementing the technical solutions of the above embodiments in other related technical fields, are included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
