Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of functional iron frames, and in particular to a mechanism with hidden and extendable footrest functions.

Background Art

[0002] A sofa is a multi-seat chair with cushions, and a backrest chair equipped with springs or thick foam plastics. There are also increasing requirements for the comfort of sofa seats. Functional seats are generally equipped with functional iron frames, enabling the seats to switch among three states: sitting position, leisure position, and lying position.

[0003] In traditional sofas, the footrest is used to support the legs. However, the design of the footrest is relatively simple, usually consisting of just one board, with a fixed area. After use, the footrest needs to be stored inside the sofa for hiding. However, due to the limited height of the space inside the sofa, the area of the footrest is small, resulting in a poor leg support effect, especially for people with long legs, and thus reducing the comfort when using the footrest mechanism.

[0004] In some existing electric sofas with hidden and extendable footrest functions, since there are multiple transmission connecting rods inside, there is a possibility of pinching hands when users operate, presenting certain potential safety hazards.

Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a mechanism with hidden and extendable footrest functions, reducing the potential safety hazards of electric sofas.

[0006] To solve the above technical problem, this utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A mechanism with hidden and extendable footrest functions, including a main footrest and a secondary footrest. The main footrest is connected to the iron frame for installing the sofa through a connecting frame, and the connecting frame is also connected to a driving structure provided on the sofa. The connecting frame includes:

[0008] A first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, one end of each of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate is rotatably installed on the iron frame;

[0009] A third connecting plate and a fourth connecting plate. Both ends of the third connecting plate are rotatably connected to the main footrest and the second connecting plate respectively. Both ends of the fourth connecting plate are rotatably connected to the first connecting plate and the main footrest respectively, and the middle position of the fourth connecting plate is rotatably connected to the second connecting plate;

[0010] When the connecting frame is in the open state, the fourth connecting plate has a widened portion extending in the width direction between the two ends towards the direction of the third connecting plate.

[0011] Beneficial effects of adopting the present utility model:

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving structure starts to drive the connecting frame to rotate. The connecting frame in the present utility model adopts a four-bar linkage mechanism. This four-bar linkage mechanism has relatively stable transmission. The third connecting plate and the fourth connecting plate are respectively rotatably connected to the main footrest, so that the main footrest rotates towards the outside of the sofa and also rotates itself, playing a supporting role for the user's feet and improving the comfort of the user during use.

[0013] In addition, in the present utility model, when the connecting frame is in the open state, the fourth connecting plate has a widened portion extending towards the third connecting plate in the width direction between the two end portions. In actual work, when the third connecting plate and the fourth connecting plate are unfolded with the main footrest, they are the connecting plates that are more exposed relative to the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. The setting of the widened portion is mainly used to reduce the gap between the fourth connecting plate and the third connecting plate in the lateral projection direction.

On the other hand, it also reduces the possibility that some external small parts are caught between the third connecting plate and the fourth connecting plate, reducing possible running obstacles. At the same time, after setting the widened portion, the strength of the fourth connecting plate can also be enhanced to a certain extent, making the connecting frame more stable during the transmission process.

[0044] Embodiment 1:

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 , the mechanism with the functions of hiding and extending the footrest includes a main footrest plate 11 and a secondary footrest plate 12. The main footrest plate 11 is connected to the iron frame 14 for installing the sofa through a connecting frame 2. At the same time, the connecting frame 2 is also used to connect to a driving structure provided on the sofa to achieve the movement of the connecting frame 2; the secondary footrest plate 12 is connected to the connecting frame 2 through a linkage assembly 3, so that the secondary footrest plate 12 moves simultaneously with the main footrest plate 11, enabling the main footrest plate 11 and the secondary footrest plate 12 to be rotated to the outside of the sofa 14 for use or rotated to the inside of the sofa for hiding.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the area of the main footrest 11 is larger than that of the auxiliary footrest 12, and both the main footrest 11 and the auxiliary footrest 12 are in the shape of a cuboid; when the main footrest 11 and the auxiliary footrest 12 move inside the sofa for storage, the main footrest 11 is in a vertical state, while the auxiliary footrest 12 is located on the side of the main footrest 11 closer to the inside of the sofa, and the bottom end of the auxiliary footrest 12 is in an inclined state with the side closer to the main footrest 11; or, when the main footrest 11 and the auxiliary footrest 12 move outside the sofa for use, both the main footrest 11 and the auxiliary footrest 12 are in a horizontal state and cooperate to support the human legs, and at the same time, the auxiliary footrest 12 is located on the side of the main footrest 11 away from the iron frame 14.

[0047] Both ends of the main footrest 11 are fixedly installed on the bearing plate 13 through screws. There are two connecting frames 2 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main footrest 11 and respectively connected to the two bearing plates 13. The rotation directions of the various structures inside the connecting frame 2 are parallel, and the axis of the rotation direction is parallel to the length direction of the main footrest 11.

[0048] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the connecting frame 2 includes a first connecting plate 21, a second connecting plate 22, a third connecting plate 23 and a fourth connecting plate 24. The tops of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are drivingly installed on the opposite side walls of the iron frame 14, and the first connecting plate 21 is located on the side of the second connecting plate 22 closer to the inside of the sofa; one end of the third connecting plate 23 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the second connecting plate 22 and the other end is rotatably connected to the bearing plate 13, and the fourth connecting plate 24 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the second connecting plate 22 and both ends are respectively rotatably connected to the bottom end of the first connecting plate 21 and the bearing plate 13.

[0049] As Figure 2 shown, when the connecting frame 2 is in the open state, that is, when the main footrest 11 and the auxiliary footrest 12 are both open, the fourth connecting plate 24 has a widened portion 241 extending in the width direction between the two ends towards the direction of the third connecting plate 23. When the main footrest 11 and the auxiliary footrest 12 are both open, the preferred position of the widened portion 241 has no misalignment gap with the third connecting plate 23 in the lateral projection direction. Such a design is to minimize the gap between the fourth connecting plate 24 and the third connecting plate 23 in the lateral projection direction as much as possible, and to reduce the possibility that the user accidentally inserts a finger into the gap during use, reducing potential safety hazards. It should be noted that the lateral projection direction referred to in this article is the front view angle direction shown in Figure 2 shown, and from Figure 2It can be seen that the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 are almost in a gap-free state when in the open state, which not only reduces potential safety hazards, but also reduces the possibility of some small external parts being sandwiched between the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24, thereby reducing possible operational obstacles. At the same time, the provision of the widened portion 241 can also strengthen the strength of the fourth connecting plate 24 to a certain extent, thereby making the connecting frame 2 more stable during the transmission process.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the fourth connecting plate 24 is located at the outermost side of the connecting frame 2. Placing the fourth connecting plate 24 with the widened portion 241 at the outermost side can maximize safety, which is equivalent to achieving direct shielding. If the fourth connecting plate 24 with the widened portion 241 is located on the inner side, because the gap between the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 in the thickness direction still exists, there is still a high probability that a child's fingers or small external objects enter from the vertical gap. Therefore, although the widened portion has increased safety to a certain extent, arranging the fourth connecting plate 24 on the outer side has a better effect.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the main footrest 11 and the auxiliary footrest 12 are in a hidden state, the fourth connecting plate 24 is nearly parallel to the third connecting plate 23 in the length direction, and the third connecting plate 23 is covered by the fourth connecting plate 24. Figure 1 It can be seen that because the fourth connecting plate 24 is nearly parallel to the third connecting plate 23 in the length direction, the third connecting plate 23 is almost mostly covered by the fourth connecting plate 24. In this way, from the hidden state to the extended state, the gap between the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 is almost not exposed, and the possibility of the user's hand being pinched between the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 is further reduced.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting plate 22 is connected to the driving structure, and the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 are respectively located on different sides of the second connecting plate 22. This design can balance the forces on both sides of the second connecting plate 22, making the product structure more stable and further improving safety.

[0053] The fourth connecting plate 24 is located on the side of the second connecting plate 22 away from the third connecting plate 23, and the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are connected to the same side wall of the fourth connecting plate 24. At the same time, a bending section 25 away from the first connecting plate 21 is formed on the second connecting plate 22 by bending, so that the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 are respectively rotatably connected to the two side walls opposite to each other of the iron frame 14; the driving structure adopts an electric push rod, and a pushing plate rotatably connected to the bending section 25 is fixedly installed on the electric push rod.

[0054] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Figure 2

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Figure 2

[0056] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3, a limiting component 5 for limiting the positions of the main footrest plate 11 and the auxiliary footrest plate 12 during use is provided on the fourth connecting plate 24 and the third linkage plate 33. The limiting component specifically includes a first limiting component and a second limiting component. The first limiting component is used to limit the position of the main footrest plate 11 during use, and the second limiting component is used to limit the position of the auxiliary footrest plate 12 during use. The first limiting component includes a first limiting post 51, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the fourth connecting plate 24 close to the second connecting plate 22. There are two first limiting posts 51 and they are located on both sides of the second connecting plate 22. At the same time, first arc-shaped grooves 53 for fitting and positioning with the first limiting posts 51 are formed on the opposite side walls of the second connecting plate 22; the second limiting component includes a second limiting post 52, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the second linkage plate 32 close to the first linkage plate 31, and a second arc-shaped groove 54 for fitting and positioning with the second limiting post 52 is formed on the first linkage plate 31.

[0057] When the footrest mechanism is opened, the second connecting plate 22 rotates close to the two first limiting posts 51 until the two first limiting posts 51 are closely attached to the two first arc-shaped grooves 53 for positioning. At the same time, the second linkage plate 32 approaches the second limiting post 52 until the second limiting post 52 is closely attached to the second arc-shaped groove 54 for positioning. At this time, the main footrest plate 11 and the auxiliary footrest plate 12 are in a horizontal state and are used to support a person's legs for positioning.

[0058] In addition, as shown in Figure 1 , it is a schematic diagram of the main footrest plate 11 and the auxiliary footrest plate 12 in a hidden state. From this schematic diagram, it can be seen that in the lateral projection direction, the auxiliary footrest plate 12 does not overlap with the linkage assembly. For example, it does not overlap with the second linkage plate 32. Such a design enables the length of the auxiliary footrest plate 12 to extend outside the linkage assembly and is not restricted by the length of the linkage assembly. If the auxiliary footrest plate 12 overlaps with the linkage assembly in the lateral projection direction, the length of the auxiliary footrest plate 12 cannot exceed the horizontal distance between the two linkage assemblies, which is likely to result in a long main footrest plate 11 and a short auxiliary footrest plate 12. If the length of the auxiliary footrest plate 12 is short, it will affect the range for the user to rest their feet. Therefore, with this structure designed in the embodiment, the length of the auxiliary footrest plate 12 can be arbitrarily set without being affected by the linkage assembly.

[0059] The working principle of the embodiment of the present application is:

[0060] When in use, the electric push rod starts to drive the second connecting plate 22 to rotate. At the same time, the first connecting plate 21, the third connecting plate 23 and the fourth connecting plate 24 rotate simultaneously to drive the bearing plate 13 and the main footrest plate 11 to rotate from the inside of the sofa to the outside of the sofa. At the same time, the first linkage plate 31, the second linkage plate 32 and the third linkage plate 33 drive the auxiliary footrest plate 12 to rotate, so that both the main footrest plate 11 and the auxiliary footrest plate 12 are rotated to the outside of the sofa and in a horizontal state, thereby realizing the support for the human legs; when retracting is needed, the electric push rod retracts to drive the main footrest plate 11 and the auxiliary footrest plate 12 to rotate to the inside of the sofa for hiding, thereby improving the comfort when the footrest mechanism is in use.

[0061] Embodiment 2:

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific implementation manner.
