[0037] Refer to Figure 1 , in the sofa according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present utility model, which includes the rotating mechanism in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model. The sofa includes a bottom frame 100 and a transformation mechanism 110. The bottom frame 100 is provided with a backrest 102 and a rotatable seat cushion 101. The outer peripheral side wall of the seat cushion 101 includes a long side 104 and a short side 105 with different lengths. A receiving cavity 103 for preventing the transformation mechanism 110 is provided in the bottom frame 100. The transformation mechanism 110 is embedded in the receiving cavity 103 and connected to the bottom of the seat cushion 101.
[0038] The transformation mechanism 110 includes a base 111, a connecting rod assembly 112, a slide rail 113, and a moving member 120. The base 111 is fixed within the accommodation cavity 103. The moving member 120 is slidably connected to the slide rail 113. The moving member 120 is provided with a turntable 121. The connecting rod assembly 112 is hinged to the base 111 and connected to the turntable 121. A return spring 114 is provided between the base 111 and the moving member 120. When the moving member 120 slides on the slide rail 113, the connecting rod assembly 112 can cause the turntable 121 to rotate. The seat cushion 101 can reach a first state and a second state. When the seat cushion 101 is in the first state, the short side 105 abuts against the backrest 102, thereby increasing the length of the support for a person's legs; Refer to Figure 2 , when the seat cushion 101 is in the second state, the long side 104 abuts against the backrest 102, thereby increasing the overall seating width of the sofa. By adjusting the different lengths of the seat cushion 101, different usage requirements can be met, improving the usage flexibility. Optionally, the slide rail 113 is inclined relative to the long side 104, so that the seat cushion 101 can move away from the backrest 102 when moving to avoid interference between the seat cushion 101 and the backrest 102 and thus facilitate rotation. The return spring 114 can automatically reset the seat cushion 101 after adjustment, enabling the seat cushion 101 to be maintained in the first state or the second state without using a locking mechanism, which can simplify the structure and improve the operation convenience.
[0039] Furthermore, a fixed pad 106 is fixedly installed on one side of the seat cushion 101 on the bottom frame 100. The long side 104 or the short side 105 of the seat cushion 101 can abut against the side wall of the fixed pad 106. After the rotational adjustment of the seat cushion 101 is completed, the side wall of the seat cushion 101 can abut against both the backrest 102 and the fixed pad 106 simultaneously. After the seat cushion 101 is adjusted, it can be positioned by the backrest 102 and the fixed pad 106 without an additional limiting mechanism, and the operation is simple and intuitive.
[0040] It can be understood that after the seat cushion 101 is adjusted and abuts against both the backrest 102 and the fixed pad 106 simultaneously, at this time, the return spring 114 maintains a certain tension, which helps the seat cushion 101 to keep in pressure contact with the backrest 102 and the fixed pad 106 to reduce the generation of gaps, which is helpful for improving the practicality and the aesthetic degree at the same time.
[0041] Refer to Figure 4, the moving member 120 is provided with a moving frame 122. The turntable 121 is rotatably connected to the moving frame 122. The moving frame 122 moves on the slide rail 113. At the same time, the link assembly 112 includes a first link 118 and a second link 119. Two ends of the first link 118 are respectively hinged to the base 111 and the second link 119. The other end of the second link 119 is fixedly connected to the turntable 121. It can be understood that when the seat cushion 101 is in the first state or the second state, the first link 118 and the second link 119 are in a mutually folded state; when the moving frame 122 moves, the turntable 121 drives the second link 119 to move. Furthermore, the second link 119 rotates around the first link 118, resulting in a combined movement of rotation and translation of the turntable 121 at the same time. Correspondingly, the seat cushion 101 generates a rotational movement while leaving the backrest 102, and the function of rotating and changing the orientation of the seat cushion 101 can be realized. Optionally, referring to Figure 5 , a fixedly installed first bearing 124 is provided on the moving frame 122. The first bearing 124 supports the bottom of the turntable 121. The turntable 121 rotates on the moving frame 122 through the first bearing 124. Optionally, the first bearing 124 is a plain bearing, and a ball bearing or a needle bearing can be selected. On the other hand, the first bearing 124 can be made of a friction-resistant material, such as polyoxymethylene resin (acetal), etc. When the turntable 121 rotates, friction is generated between its bottom and the first bearing 124, and low-resistance rotation can be realized. Optionally, a protruding positioning portion 126 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 121. The side wall of the positioning portion 126 abuts against the inner diameter side wall of the first bearing 124. During installation, the turntable 121 can be positioned by the positioning portion 126 abutting against the first bearing 124, which can improve the convenience of installation operation.
[0042] Furthermore, a bolt 130 is passed through the turntable 121. At the same time, the bolt 130 passes through the moving frame 122. A nut 131 is screwed on the end of the bolt 130 that protrudes from the moving frame 122, so that the turntable 121 is installed on the moving frame 122 by means of threaded connection. It can be understood that the bolt 130 is located at the rotation center of the turntable 121. When the nut 131 and the bolt 130 are screwed together, there is a certain pre-tightening force between them. Therefore, a second bearing 132 is provided between the nut 131 and the bottom wall of the moving frame 122, which can reduce the rotation resistance. The second bearing 132 is also a plain bearing, and a ball bearing or a needle bearing can be selected. On the other hand, the second bearing 132 can be made of a friction-resistant material, such as polyoxymethylene resin (acetal), etc. When the turntable 121 rotates, friction is generated between the first bearing 124 and the bottom wall of the moving frame 122. By selecting a low-resistance wear-resistant material, low-resistance rotation of the turntable 121 can be realized.
[0043] Referring to Figure 3, one end of the base 111 is provided with a detachably mounted connecting frame 116. A connecting pin 115 is provided on the bottom side of the connecting frame 116 away from the turntable 121. One end of the moving frame 122 away from the connecting pin 115 is provided with a connecting piece 123. The connecting piece 123 can be fixed by being integrally formed with the moving frame 122 or by means such as welding and bolt connection. The two ends of the return spring 114 are respectively connected to the connecting pin 115 and the connecting piece 123, and the return spring 114 can maintain a traction force on the moving frame 122. Optionally, one end of the base 111 where the connecting pin 115 is provided has a limiting member 125, which can realize the stroke limiting function of the moving frame 122 and prevent the moving frame 122 from moving beyond the preset stroke.
[0044] Furthermore, referring to Figure 6 , a buffer sleeve 133 is sleeved on the end of the limiting member 125. The buffer sleeve 133 covers the end face and the periphery of the end face of the limiting member 125 close to the moving frame 122. When the moving frame 122 contacts the limiting member 125, it can reduce impact and vibration, which is beneficial to improving the use experience. Optionally, the buffer sleeve 133 can be made of flexible materials such as silica gel, rubber or polyurethane.
[0045] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the base 111 is assembled and installed by multiple components. The base 111 includes a side frame 127 and a tail frame 128. The slide rail 113 is installed on the side frame 127. The connecting frame 116 and the tail frame 128 are respectively arranged at both ends of the side frame 127. The side frame 127, the tail frame 128 and the connecting frame 116 are all fixed by bolt connection. And preferably, the side frame 127, the tail frame 128 and the connecting frame 116 are formed by bending a metal plate, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost of the base 111, and the detachable structure is convenient for subsequent structural improvement. Optionally, a slider 129 is provided between the moving frame 122 and the slide rail 113. The slider 129 slides on the slide rail 113. The slide rail 113 is fixedly installed on the side frame 127. A number of balls are provided between the slider 129 and the slide rail 113, which can realize the sliding connection between the two.
[0046] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
