Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of hinges, in particular to a hinge used for connecting an electric sofa chair back and a seat cushion. Background Art

[0002] A sofa is a multi-seat chair with upholstered cushions, typically incorporating springs or thick foam to increase elasticity and comfort. Currently, sofas on the market typically have fixed backrests that are difficult to adjust, reducing their functionality. Sofas are limited in function, providing only a comfortable environment for users to sit back and lean against. This requires maintaining a proper sitting posture, but offers no relief from fatigue or stress. More people choose to lie down in bed rather than enjoy family life on the sofa. Furthermore, dust builds up on the bottom of the sofa after prolonged use, making it difficult to clean.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent document discloses an electric multi-seat sofa [patent application number: CN202322915169.7], which includes a multi-seat sofa with four height-adjustable floating legs fixed by bolts at the four corners of the lower end surface of the multi-seat sofa. Two symmetrical scissor-type lifting platforms are also provided on the lower end surface of the multi-seat sofa. The scissor-type lifting platforms include a lower support plate and an upper support plate fixed to the lower end surface of the multi-seat sofa, and a hinged four-bar mechanism hinged between the lower support plate and the upper support plate, and a long screw rod is provided through the hinged four-bar mechanism. The utility model turns off the electromagnet sleeve through an electric control switch, and then starts the motor that drives the scissor-type lifting platform. The torque of the motor drives the long screw rod to rotate through the meshing of the bevel gears, thereby deforming the hinged four-bar mechanism, thereby raising and lowering the multi-seat sofa. After adjustment, the electromagnet sleeve is restored to electromagnetic force through the electric control switch, thereby magnetically attracting the armature. Utility Model Content
