Detailed implementation mode

[0023] Now, the present utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a sofa for adjusting the backrest angle, comprising a frame 1, a seat cushion 2 and a backrest 3;

[0025] At both ends of the rear side of the seat cushion 2, hinges 19 are provided, and the backrest 3 is movably connected to the seat cushion 2 through the hinges 19. On both sides of the inner wall of the frame 1, limit chutes 18 are symmetrically opened. Above both sides of the backrest 3, limit sliders 16 are movably installed through rotating shafts. At the rear side of the bottom of the seat cushion 2, a slider 12 is fixedly installed. In the middle of the bottom of the frame 1, a chute 8 is opened. The seat cushion 2 and the backrest 3 are installed inside the frame 1, and the limit sliders 16 and the slider 12 are respectively movably installed in the limit chute 18 and the chute 8;

[0026] Among them, at both front ends of both sides of the seat cushion 2, brackets 14 are symmetrically and fixedly installed. At the front end of the bracket 14, an armrest 15 is fixedly installed. The armrest 15 is fixedly installed on both sides of the seat cushion 2 through the bracket 14, and the armrest 15 can move with the seat cushion 2;

[0027] Secondly, perforations 4 are symmetrically and penetratingly opened on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1. At the four corners of the bottom of the seat cushion 2, support pillars 10 are fixedly installed, and the two support pillars 10 on both sides respectively penetrate through the perforations 4. At the bottom of the support pillar 10, a roller 11 is movably installed. The roller 11 contacts the ground for support. When the seat cushion 2 reciprocates back and forth, the roller 11 can roll on the ground. At this time, the support pillar 10 can reduce the friction force during its movement while ensuring the support for the seat cushion 2; Inside both sides of the limit slider 16, pulleys 17 are movably installed. The limit slider 16 can move up and down in the limit chute 18. Therefore, the setting of the pulley 17 can greatly reduce the friction force when the limit slider 16 moves in the limit chute 18, ensuring the overall smoothness during adjustment;

[0028] In addition, grooves 20 are symmetrically formed at the top on both sides of the frame 1. The armrest 15 is movably embedded in the groove 20. In the default state, the armrest 15 can be embedded in the groove 20 to achieve hiding. When the seat cushion 2 moves forward, the armrest 15 can move forward in the groove 20 accordingly.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the slider 12 moves forward in the chute 8, it can drive the seat cushion 2 to move forward. At this time, the hinge 19 can drive the backrest 3 to tilt forward. At the same time, the limit slider 16 will move downward in the limit chute 18. Since the limit slider 16 can rotate flexibly, it will not affect the forward tilt of the backrest 3, and the backrest 3 moves downward along the frame 1, thereby completing the adjustment of the angle of the backrest 3 so that it can be seated and reclined, and can be adjusted to a suitable angle for people to rest.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a motor slot 5 is centrally formed at the lower part of the rear side of the frame 1. A stepper motor 7 is fixedly installed in the motor slot 5. A lead screw 9 is rotatably installed in the chute 8. A threaded hole 13 is formed through the slider 12.

[0031] Among them, the output shaft of the stepper motor 7 is in transmission connection with the lead screw 9. The lead screw 9 penetrates through the threaded hole 13, and the lead screw 9 is in threaded engagement with the threaded hole 13. The stepper motor 7 can drive the lead screw 9 to rotate in the threaded hole 13. When the lead screw 9 rotates clockwise, it can drive the slider 12 to move forward in the chute 8. On the contrary, when the lead screw 9 rotates counterclockwise, it can drive the slider 12 to move backward.

[0032] Secondly, a maintenance cover plate 6 is detachably installed on the rear wall of the frame 1 and on one side of the motor slot 5. The maintenance cover 6 can be fixedly installed on the rear wall of the frame 1 through bolt fasteners, which can protect the stepper motor 7 inside the motor slot 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the stepper motor 7 is started, it can drive the lead screw 9 to rotate in the threaded hole 13 inside the slider 12, thereby driving the slider 12 to slide back and forth in the chute 8, realizing the forward and backward movement of the seat cushion 2. When the seat cushion moves forward, it can drive the backrest 3 to tilt forward and increase the angle. On the contrary, it can drive the backrest 3 to reduce the angle, enabling it to achieve electric adjustment without manual operation.

[0034] Working principle: People can rest or work on the sofa. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the backrest 3, the stepper motor 7 can be started to drive the lead screw 9 to rotate clockwise within the internal threaded hole 13 of the slider 12. At this time, the slider 12 can move forward within the chute 8, and at this time, the seat cushion 2 can move forward within the frame 1. At the same time, the backrest 3 connected to the seat cushion 2 through the hinge 19 can tilt forward, and the two-sided limit sliders 16 can move downward within the limit chute 18. After the backrest 3 tilts forward to an appropriate angle, the stepper motor 7 can be shut down. During the forward movement of the seat cushion 2, its support column 10 and the bottom roller 11 can move forward within the through hole 4 to ensure that the seat cushion 2 can always be supported by the support column 10 and the roller 11, ensuring the stability of the force received by it. And the roller 11 can roll on the ground with relatively low friction. When the seat cushion 2 drives the backrest 3 to adjust the angle forward, its armrest 15 can move forward with the seat cushion 2 for use when people lie down.

[0035] It can be understood that the driving mode of the stepper motor in the present utility model can be driven by an external power cord, and the control of the stepper motor can be controlled by a main control system, and its control principle can be achieved by existing control technologies. The model of the stepper motor is not limited to a single type and can be the types existing in the market suitable for the present utility model.

[0036] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
