[0056] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a backrest mechanism, the backrest mechanism 60 includes a backrest mounting plate 10 and a drive assembly 20, the upper end of the drive assembly 20 is hinged to the front end and the rear end of the backrest mounting plate 10, and the lower end of the drive assembly 20 is hinged to the seat frame mounting member 40; wherein, the backrest mounting plate 10 has a folded position relative to the seat frame mounting member 40 and a deployed position relative to the seat frame mounting member 40, and the drive assembly 20 can drive the backrest mounting plate 10 to move between the folded position and the deployed position. When the backrest mounting plate 10 switches from the folded position to the deployed position, the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 moves a distance H1 in a direction parallel to the mounting surface of the seat frame mounting member 40, and moves a distance H2 in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the seat frame mounting member 40, and the absolute value of the difference between H1 and H2 is less than or equal to the preset size.

[0058] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, the backrest mechanism includes a backrest mounting plate 10 and a drive assembly 20. Since the upper end of the drive assembly 20 is hinged to the front end and the rear end of the backrest mounting plate 10, and the lower end of the drive assembly 20 is hinged to the seat frame mounting member 40, the drive assembly 20 can drive the backrest mounting plate 10 to move relative to the seat frame mounting member 40, so that the backrest mounting plate 10 moves between a folded position and an expanded position. When the backrest mounting plate 10 switches from the folded position to the unfolded position, the moving distance of the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 in the direction parallel to the mounting surface of the seat frame mounting component 40 is H1, and the moving distance of the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the seat frame mounting component 40 is H2. The absolute value of the difference between H1 and H2 is less than or equal to the preset size, so that when the backrest is tilted backward, it can have a suitable forward movement distance to avoid interference with the wall, and can also have a suitable downward movement distance to reduce the height of the user's upper body, realize the zero gravity function, and enhance the user experience of the zero wall function and the zero gravity function.

[0059] It should be noted that the preset size is preferably 10 cm. Among them, the preset size is preferably 3 cm. At this time, the user can fully experience the zero-wall function and zero-gravity function of the sofa.

[0060] Of course, the preset size can be 10 cm, 8 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm, or any value less than or equal to 10 cm.

[0061] It should be noted that the front and back in this embodiment correspond to Figure 7 As shown in the middle perspective, the footrest mechanism 50 is unfolded in the forward direction, and the backrest mechanism 60 is reclined in the backward direction.

[0062] in, Figure 1 Only a partial structure of the seat frame mounting member 40 is shown.

[0063] It should be noted that, in the first embodiment, H1 is greater than H2. In other embodiments, H1 may be smaller than H2.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 20 includes a front backrest link 21, a rear backrest link 22 and a drive plate 23. The front end of the front backrest link 21 is hinged to the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10, the upper end of the rear backrest link 22 is hinged to the rear end of the backrest mounting plate 10, the rear end of the front backrest link 21 and the lower end of the rear backrest link 22 are respectively hinged to the drive plate 23, the backrest mounting plate 10 is hinged to the seat frame mounting part 40, the drive plate 23 has a limit end, and the backrest mounting plate 10, the front backrest link 21, the rear backrest link 22 and the drive plate 23 together form a first four-bar linkage. By adopting the above-mentioned first four-bar linkage, by applying an external force to the drive plate 23, the drive plate 23 can be rotated relative to the seat frame mounting member 40, thereby driving the front backrest link 21 and the rear backrest link 22 to move, and the backrest mounting plate 10 can be tilted back or folded through the front backrest link 21 and the rear backrest link 22.

[0065] In this embodiment, the limiting end of the driving plate 23 refers to a part that can be used to hinge the driving plate 23 to the mounting base when the backrest mechanism 60 is applied to the seat frame, thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the driving plate 23 and allowing the driving plate 23 to rotate relative to the seat frame mounting member 40. Specifically, it can be set as a hinge hole.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 20 further includes a limiting rod 24, the upper end of which is hinged to the middle portion of the front backrest link 21, and the lower end of which is hinged to the seat frame mounting member 40. The front backrest link 21, the drive plate 23, the seat frame mounting member 40, and the limiting rod 24 together form a second four-bar linkage. This second four-bar linkage can limit the motion trajectory of the front backrest link 21, thereby limiting the motion trajectory of the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10.

[0067] Furthermore, by adopting the above-mentioned backrest mechanism 60, since two sets of four-link mechanisms are provided, the backrest mounting plate 10 moves forward a greater distance while the backrest tilts backward at a greater angle, so that the backrest mechanism 60 can provide the user with a better zero-wall-leaning experience and zero-gravity experience when used on a sofa.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, the front backrest connecting rod 21 and the rear backrest connecting rod 22 are cross-arranged, and the rear end of the front backrest connecting rod 21 is located behind the lower end of the rear backrest connecting rod 22. Adopting the above structure, the motion track of the backrest mounting plate 10 can be made more flexible.

[0069] In this embodiment, the front backrest link 21 and the rear backrest link 22 do not have a direct connection structure, but are only staggered in the spatial structure.

[0070] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the backrest mounting plate 10 is in the folded position, the upper end of the rear backrest link 22 is located behind its lower end. When the backrest mounting plate 10 is in the extended position, the upper end of the rear backrest link 22 is located in front of its lower end. By changing the motion trajectory of the rear backrest link 22, it can adapt to the distance moved forward by the backrest mounting plate 10 driven by the second four-bar linkage, while also driving the backrest mounting plate 10 to recline at a suitable reclining angle.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the front end of the front backrest link 21 is hinged to the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 at a first hinge point O, the upper end of the rear backrest link 22 is hinged to the rear end of the backrest mounting plate 10 at a second hinge point E, and the lower end of the rear backrest link 22 is hinged to the drive plate 23 at a third hinge point C. The line connecting the first hinge point O and the second hinge point E is line L1, and the line connecting the second hinge point E and the third hinge point C is line L2. The angle between lines L1 and L2 is angle α. When the backrest mounting plate 10 is in the expanded position, angle α is between 40° and 135°. Using the above range of values ​​can make the angle more reasonable, neither too large nor too small, and the force between adjacent links is better and more reasonable, which helps to improve support performance and load-bearing capacity, and also helps to improve the smooth operation of the seat frame.

[0072] Preferably, the angle α is between 68° and 128°.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, the rear end of the backrest mounting plate 10 is provided with a protrusion 11, and the second hinge point E is provided on the protrusion 11, and the protrusion 11 is provided upward. With this arrangement, the second hinge point E can be set a certain distance upward, thereby making the angle α not too large and within a reasonable range.

[0074] The protrusion 11 is tilted upward, which means that there is a certain angle between the outer wall of the protrusion 11 and the outer wall of the backrest mounting plate 10, and the outer wall of the protrusion 11 extends upward.

[0075] like Figure 4As shown, the front end of the front backrest link 21 is hinged to the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 at a first hinge point O, the rear end of the front backrest link 21 is hinged to the drive plate 23 at a fourth hinge point B, the limiting end of the drive plate 23 is a fifth hinge point D, the line connecting the first hinge point O and the fourth hinge point B is line L3, the line connecting the fourth hinge point B and the fifth hinge point D is line L4, and the angle between line L3 and line L4 is angle β. When the backrest mounting plate 10 is in the deployed position, angle β is between 40° and 135°. Using the above range of values ​​can make the angle more reasonable, neither too large nor too small, and the force between adjacent links is better and more reasonable, which helps to improve support performance and load-bearing capacity, and also helps to improve the smooth operation of the seat frame.

[0076] Preferably, the angle β is between 68° and 128°.

[0077] By ensuring that the included angle α and the included angle β are within a reasonable range, when the backrest mounting plate 10 is located in the deployed position, the forces between the connecting rods supporting the front and rear ends of the backrest mounting plate 10 are more reasonable.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the seat frame mounting member 40 is hingedly connected to the drive plate 23 at the sixth hinge point A. The line connecting the third hinge point C and the fourth hinge point B is line L5, and the line connecting the fourth hinge point B and the sixth hinge point A is line L6. Line L5 is larger than line L6. This dimensioning ensures an appropriate distance between the rear end of the front backrest link 21 and the lower end of the rear backrest link 22, allowing the front and rear backrest links 21, 22 to have an appropriate range of motion during movement of the drive plate 23.

[0079] The ratio of the size of the connecting line L5 to the size of the connecting line L6 is between 1.71 and 2.55. The above ratio range is adopted to make the rear end of the front backrest connecting rod 21 and the lower end of the rear backrest connecting rod 22 have a suitable distance.

[0080] The ratio of the size of the line L5 to the size of the line L6 may be 1.71, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.55, or any value between 1.71 and 2.55.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, the line connecting the fourth hinge point B and the sixth hinge point A is line L6, and the line connecting the third hinge point C and the sixth hinge point A is line L7. Line L6 is smaller than line L7. The above dimensions ensure that the rear end of the front backrest link 21 and the lower end of the rear backrest link 22 are both appropriately spaced from the rotation center, allowing the front backrest link 21 and the rear backrest link 22 to have an appropriate range of motion during movement of the drive plate 23.

[0082] The ratio of the dimension of the connecting line L7 to the dimension of the connecting line L6 is between 1.46 and 2.18. With the above ratio range, the rear end of the front backrest connecting rod 21 and the lower end of the rear backrest connecting rod 22 are both at a suitable distance from the rotation center.

[0083] The ratio of the size of the line L7 to the size of the line L6 may be 1.46, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.18, or any value between 1.46 and 2.18.

[0084] In the first embodiment, when the backrest mounting plate 10 switches from the stowed position to the extended position, the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 moves forward and downward. This motion allows the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 to move forward relative to the seat frame mounting assembly, enabling a sofa with this backrest to achieve zero wall support. This downward movement also lowers the backrest when the sofa is in a reclining position, lowering it to the ground and improving the user's comfort.

[0085] When the seat frame switches between the sitting, TV, and reclining positions, the distance between the backrest mounting plate 10 of the backrest mechanism 60 and a predetermined vertical plane is greater than or equal to zero. Specifically, when the seat frame is in the sitting position, the distance between the backrest mounting plate 10 and the predetermined vertical plane is equal to zero. When the seat frame is in the TV position, the distance between the backrest mounting plate 10 and the predetermined vertical plane is greater than zero. When the seat frame is in the reclining position, the distance between the backrest mounting plate 10 and the predetermined vertical plane is equal to zero. This prevents interference between the backrest and the wall, achieving the sofa's zero-wall-rest function.

[0086] When the backrest mounting plate 10 is switched to the expanded position from the folded position, the rotation angle of the backrest mounting plate 10 relative to the seat frame mounting member 40 is between 24° and 40°. Adopting the above-mentioned angle range, the backrest mounting plate 10 can have a suitable reclining angle.

[0087] Among them, the rotation angle of the backrest mounting plate 10 relative to the seat frame mounting member 40 can be 24°, 25°, 28°, 30°, 32°, 35°, 38°, 40° and any value between 24° and 40°.

[0088] When the rotation angle of the backrest mounting plate 10 relative to the seat frame mounting member 40 is between 25° and 35°, the reclining angle of the backrest mounting plate 10 makes the user feel more comfortable, preferably 32°.

[0089] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when the backrest mounting plate 10 is in the retracted position, the hinge point between the seat frame mounting member 40 and the drive plate 23 is located in front of the rear end of the front backrest link 21. When the backrest mounting plate 10 is in the extended position, the hinge point between the seat frame mounting member 40 and the drive plate 23 is located behind the rear end of the front backrest link 21. With this arrangement, the hinge point of the drive plate 23 swings from back to front in a fan-shaped path, which enables the front backrest link 21 to have a suitable motion trajectory, thereby causing the backrest mounting plate 10 to move forward.

[0090] In the first embodiment, an external force is applied to the limiting end of the drive plate 23, causing the drive plate 23 to rotate relative to the seat frame mounting member 40. This in turn causes the front backrest link 21 to move upward and the rear backrest link 22 to move downward via a first four-bar linkage formed by the backrest mounting plate 10, the front backrest link 21, the rear backrest link 22, and the drive plate 23. This causes the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 to move upward and the rear end to move downward, thereby reclining the backrest mounting plate 10. Furthermore, a second four-bar linkage formed by the front backrest link 21, the drive plate 23, the seat frame mounting member 40, and the limiting rod 24 causes the front backrest link 21 to move forward, thereby driving the backrest mounting plate 10 forward.

[0091] like Figures 6 to 12 As shown, embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a seat bracket, which includes a mounting base fixed relative to the ground, a seat frame mounting component 40, a footrest mechanism 50 and a backrest mechanism 60. The seat frame mounting component 40 is movably connected to the mounting base, and the seat frame mounting component 40 can move relative to the mounting base; the footrest mechanism 50 is hinged to the front end of the seat frame mounting component 40; the drive plate 23 of the backrest mechanism 60 is hinged to the mounting base and the seat frame mounting component 40, respectively, and the backrest mechanism 60 is the backrest mechanism 60 provided above. By adopting the above-mentioned seat bracket, an external force is applied to the limiting end of the driving member, so that the driving member can rotate relative to the seat frame mounting member 40. Since the front backrest link 21 and the rear backrest link 22 are hinged to the seat frame mounting member 40 through the driving member, the driving member can drive the front backrest link 21 and the rear backrest link 22 to move. The front end of the front backrest link 21 drives the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 to move, and the upper end of the rear backrest link 22 drives the rear end of the backrest mounting plate 10 to move, thereby enabling the backrest mounting plate 10 to move relative to the seat frame mounting member 40, making the relative position of the backrest mounting plate 10 and the seat frame mounting member 40 more flexible. When the backrest mounting plate 10 switches from the folded position to the expanded position, the backrest mounting plate 10 can move forward a greater distance relative to the seat frame mounting member 40, solving the interference problem between the backrest and the wall and realizing the zero wall-leaning function of the sofa. Moreover, since the front backrest connecting rod 21 and the rear backrest connecting rod 22 are both hinged on the driving member, the linkage performance between the connecting rods is enhanced during the movement of the backrest mounting plate 10, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity, stability and movement smoothness of the sofa.

[0092] Among them, the footrest mechanism 50 has an extended position extended relative to the seat frame mounting member 40 and a retracted position retracted relative to the seat frame mounting member 40. The lying posture of the seat frame corresponds to the footrest mechanism 50 being in the extended position and the backrest mounting plate 10 being in the expanded position, the TV posture of the seat frame corresponds to the footrest mechanism 50 being in the extended position and the backrest mounting plate 10 being in the retracted position, and the sitting posture of the seat frame corresponds to the footrest mechanism 50 being in the retracted position and the backrest mounting plate 10 being in the retracted position.

[0093] It should be noted that the mounting base may be a floor-standing bracket structure.

[0094] Specifically, the seat frame mounting member 40 includes a seat frame and a seat frame connecting plate connected to the rear end of the seat frame. The mounting surface of the seat frame mounting member 40 is provided on the seat frame. The driving plate 23 and the limiting rod 24 are respectively hingedly connected to the seat frame connecting plate. The seat frame connecting plate can be integrally formed with the seat frame or connected by bolts or rivets.

[0095] In the second embodiment, the mounting base is an armrest mounting plate 30, and the seat frame further includes a suspension assembly 70 and a movable assembly 80. The suspension assembly 70 is swingably mounted on the seat frame mounting member 40, and the front and rear ends of the suspension assembly 70 are movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 via the movable assembly 80. With this structure, the suspension assembly 70 and the movable assembly 80 enable relative movement between the seat frame mounting member 40 and the armrest mounting plate 30.

[0096] like Figure 12 As shown, the distance K1 between the lower surface of the armrest mounting plate 30 and the ground is between 11 cm and 17 cm. With the above dimensions, a certain space can be left between the armrest mounting plate 30 and the ground, thereby realizing the high leg function of the seat support.

[0097] The distance K1 between the lower surface of the armrest mounting plate 30 and the ground can be 11 cm, 12 cm, 13 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm, or any value between 11 cm and 17 cm. Preferably, K1 is between 12 cm and 14 cm.

[0098] like Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the suspension assembly 70 includes a front swing link 71, a transition swing link 72, and a rear swing link 73. The upper ends of the front swing link 71 and the upper ends of the rear swing link 73 are respectively hinged to the seat frame mounting member 40, and the lower ends of the front swing link 71 and the lower ends of the rear swing link 73 are respectively hinged to the transition swing link 72. The front and rear ends of the transition swing link 72 are respectively movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 via movable assemblies 80. With the above-mentioned suspension assembly 70, the relative swing between the seat frame mounting member 40 and the transition swing link 72 can be achieved through the swinging of the front swing link 71 and the rear swing link 73, and the relative swing between the transition swing link 72 and the armrest mounting plate 30 can be achieved through the movable assembly 80.

[0099] like Figure 7 As shown, the movable assembly 80 includes a slide rail 81 and a pulley slidably disposed within the slide rail 81. One of the pulley and the slide rail 81 is disposed on the suspension assembly 70, and the other of the pulley and the slide rail 81 is disposed on the armrest mounting plate 30. With the movable assembly 80 described above, the relative movement of the suspension assembly 70 and the armrest mounting plate 30 can be achieved by sliding the pulley within the slide rail 81, thereby achieving relative movement of the seat frame mounting member 40 and the armrest mounting plate 30.

[0100] In this embodiment, the pulley is arranged on the transition swing rod 72 , and the slide rail 81 is fixedly arranged on the armrest mounting plate 30 .

[0101] like Figure 8 As shown, the movable assembly 80 includes a first link 83, a second link 84, and a third link 85. The lower ends of the first link 83 and the second link 84 are respectively hinged to the armrest mounting plate 30, the upper end of the first link 83 is hinged to the middle portion of the third link 85, the upper end of the second link 84 is hinged to the rear end of the third link 85, and the front end of the third link 85 is hinged to the suspension assembly 70. With the movable assembly 80 described above, the first link 83 and the second link 84 can rotate relative to the armrest mounting plate 30, driving the third link 85 to move relative to the armrest mounting plate 30, thereby achieving relative movement between the suspension assembly 70 and the armrest mounting plate 30, thereby achieving relative movement between the seat frame mounting member 40 and the armrest mounting plate 30.

[0102] In this embodiment, the third connecting rod 85 is hinged to the rear end of the transition swing rod 72 .

[0103] In the second embodiment, the front end of the suspension assembly 70 is movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 via a movable assembly 80 having a pulley and rail structure, while the rear end of the suspension assembly 70 is movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 via a movable assembly 80 having a connecting rod structure. This makes the front end structure of the seat frame more compact, helping to reduce the overall thickness of the seat frame. This allows for more space below the armrest mounting plate 30 while maintaining the same height of the seat frame mounting member 40, thus facilitating the implementation of true high legs.

[0104] It should be noted that the front end and the rear end of the suspension component 70 can be movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 through the movable component 80 of the pulley rail structure at the same time; or, the front end and the rear end of the suspension component 70 can be movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 through the movable component 80 of the connecting rod structure at the same time; or, the front end of the suspension component 70 is movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 through the movable component 80 of the connecting rod structure, and the rear end of the suspension component 70 is movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 through the movable component 80 of the pulley rail structure.

[0105] In the second embodiment, the movable assembly 80 of the three-link structure can be basically hidden within the projection area of ​​the backrest mechanism, thereby reducing the pressure and interference on the soft bag installed on the seat frame mounting member.

[0106] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the seat frame further includes a front drive rod 92 and a rear drive rod 93. The front end of the front drive rod 92 is hingedly connected to the footrest mechanism 50, and the rear end of the front drive rod 92 is hingedly connected to the suspension assembly 70. The upper end of the rear drive rod 93 is hingedly connected to the limiting end of the drive plate 23, and the lower end of the rear drive rod 93 is hingedly connected to the armrest mounting plate 30. The front drive rod 92 enables the suspension assembly 70 to be linked to the footrest mechanism 50, and the rear drive rod 93 enables the drive plate 23 to be movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30, thereby restricting the drive plate 23 and allowing it to rotate relative to the seat frame mounting member 40.

[0107] In this embodiment, the rear end of the front drive rod 92 is hingedly connected to the middle portion of the rear swing rod 73 .

[0108] like Figure 7As shown, the footrest mechanism 50 includes a footrest drive plate 51, an inner bench plate 52, an outer bench plate 53, a rear bench plate 54, a first front bench connecting rod 55, a second front bench connecting rod 56, a front bench plate 57, a front footrest 58 and a rear footrest 59. The rear end of the footrest drive plate 51 is hinged to the front end of the front drive rod 92, the middle part of the footrest drive plate 51 is hinged to the seat frame mounting member 40, the front end of the footrest drive plate 51 is hinged to the rear end of the outer bench plate 53, the middle part of the outer bench plate 53 is hinged to the middle part of the inner bench plate 52, the front end of the outer bench plate 53 is hinged to the rear end of the first front bench connecting rod 55, the middle part of the first front bench connecting rod 55 is hinged to the middle part of the rear bench plate 54, and the first front bench connecting rod The front end of 55 is hinged to the rear end of the second front stool connecting rod 56, the middle part of the second front stool connecting rod 56 is hinged to the middle part of the rear footstool 59, the front end of the second front stool connecting rod 56 is hinged to the rear end of the front footstool 58, the rear end of the front stool board 57 is hinged to the front end of the rear footstool 59, the front end of the front stool board 57 is hinged to the front end of the front footstool 58, the front end of the rear stool board 54 is hinged to the rear end of the rear footstool 59, the rear end of the rear stool board 54 is hinged to the front end of the inner stool board 52, and the rear end of the inner stool board 52 is hinged to the seat frame mounting part 40, wherein a limit button 531 is provided on the outer stool board 53, and after the footstool mechanism 50 is unfolded, the limit button 531 fits with the inner stool board 52.

[0109] In the second embodiment, the footrest mechanism 50 comprises multiple four-bar linkages. The footrest drive plate 51, the seat frame mounting member 40, the inner bench plate 52, and the outer bench plate 53 form a four-bar linkage; the inner bench plate 52, the outer bench plate 53, the rear bench plate 54, and the first front bench link 55 form a four-bar linkage; the rear bench plate 54, the first front bench link 55, the second front bench link 56, and the rear footrest 59 form a four-bar linkage; and the second front bench link 56, the front bench plate 57, the front footrest 58, and the rear footrest 59 form a four-bar linkage. By actuating one of the components of the footrest mechanism 50, the multiple four-bar linkages can be deformed, thereby causing the footrest mechanism 50 to be deployed or retracted.

[0110] Among them, the footrest mechanism 50 of the present application is composed of six connecting rods. Compared with the four connecting rods in the prior art, the setting of six connecting rods can shorten the length of each connecting rod itself accordingly, so that the thickness of the footrest mechanism in the vertical space becomes smaller when it is in the retracted state, and it also helps to reduce the overall thickness of the iron frame, which helps to realize true high legs.

[0111] In other embodiments, the limit button 531 can be set at other positions, can be set to abut against the connecting rod of the suspension assembly 70, or can be set at both positions, which can also achieve the purpose of limiting the over-extension of the footrest mechanism 50.

[0112] like Figure 11As shown, the seat frame further includes a linear actuator, a front drive tube 90, and a rear drive tube 91. The front drive tube 90 and the rear drive tube 91 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. The front drive tube 90 is connected to the footrest mechanism 50, and the rear drive tube 91 is connected to the rear end of the armrest mounting plate 30. The linear actuator is hingedly disposed between the front drive tube 90 and the rear drive tube 91. The linear actuator can change the distance between the front drive tube 90 and the rear drive tube 91, causing them to rotate relative to each other, thereby achieving the deployment of the footrest mechanism 50. The front drive rod 92, the suspension assembly 70, the movable assembly 80, and the rear drive rod 93 cooperate to achieve the reclining of the backrest mounting plate 10.

[0113] Among them, the front driving pipe 90 is connected to the inner bench plate 52.

[0114] Specifically, in the second embodiment, the linear actuator increases the distance between the front drive tube 90 and the rear drive tube 91, causing the front drive tube 90 to rotate, which in turn drives the inner seat plate 52 to rotate relative to the seat frame mounting assembly. This, in turn, causes the front and rear footrests 58 and 59 to deploy via the multiple four-bar linkages formed by the footrest mechanism 50. After the footrest mechanism 50 is fully deployed, the limit button 531 engages the inner seat plate 52, limiting further movement of the footrest mechanism 50. Next, due to the drive of the linear actuator, the distance between the front drive tube 90 and the rear drive tube 91 continues to increase. The footrest mechanism 50 drives the seat frame mounting member 40 forward via its footrest drive plate 51 and inner seat plate 52. Simultaneously, the seat frame mounting member 40 drives the rear swing link 73 forward via the front drive rod 92. The rear swing link 73 drives the transition swing link 72 forward. The pulley of the transition swing link 72 slides within the slide rail 81, sliding from the lower end of the slide rail 81 to its upper end. The rear end of the transition swing link 72 drives the third link 85 forward. Furthermore, the slide rail 81 is tilted upward, causing the angle of the seat frame mounting member 40 to change slightly. At the same time, as the seat frame mounting member 40 moves forward, it drives the drive plate 23 forward. During this process, the drive plate 23 rotates relative to the seat frame mounting member 40 due to the restriction of the rear drive rod 93. This, in turn, causes the front backrest link 21 to move upward and the rear backrest link 22 to move downward via the first four-bar linkage formed by the backrest mounting plate 10, the front backrest link 21, the rear backrest link 22, and the drive plate 23. This causes the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 to move upward and the rear end to move downward, thereby reclining the backrest mounting plate 10. Furthermore, the second four-bar linkage formed by the front backrest link 21, the drive plate 23, the seat frame mounting member 40, and the limiting rod 24 causes the front backrest link 21 to move forward, driving the backrest mounting plate 10 forward. This prevents interference between the backrest and the wall, thus achieving the sofa's zero-wall-rest function.

[0115] In Example 2, when the sofa switches between a reclining position, a TV position, and a sitting position, the distance between the upper end of the backrest and the wall ranges from 0 to 4.6 cm. When the sofa is in the sitting position, the distance between the upper end of the backrest and the wall is 0. When the sofa is in the TV position, the distance between the upper end of the backrest and the wall switches from 0 to 4.6 cm. When the sofa is in the reclining position, the distance between the upper end of the backrest and the wall switches from 4.6 cm to 0.

[0116] When the backrest mounting plate 10 of the backrest mechanism 60 switches from the folded position to the unfolded position, the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10 first moves downward and then moves upward.

[0117] In the second embodiment, the motor end of the linear actuator is located on a side close to the front driving tube 90, thereby reducing the interference of the motor end of the linear actuator with the space below the armrest mounting plate during operation.

[0118] In the second embodiment, when the backrest mounting plate 10 of the backrest mechanism 60 switches from the folded position to the extended position, the rotation angle of the backrest mounting plate 10 relative to the seat frame mounting member 40 is between 25° and 38°. Using this angle range, the backrest mechanism 60 has a suitable reclining angle.

[0119] The rotation angle of the backrest mounting plate 10 relative to the seat frame mounting member 40 can be 25°, 28°, 30°, 33°, 36°, or any value between 25° and 38°.

[0120] like Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the third embodiment of the present invention provides a seat bracket. The seat bracket of the third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that, in the third embodiment, the suspension assembly 70 is movably connected to the armrest mounting plate 30 via a secondary swing assembly 100. The secondary swing assembly 100 includes a front swing sub-rod 101, a transition swing sub-rod 102, and a rear swing sub-rod 103. The upper end of the front swing sub-rod 101 is hinged to the middle of the transition swing rod, the lower end of the front swing sub-rod 101 is hinged to the front end of the armrest mounting plate, the front end of the transition swing sub-rod 102 is hinged to the middle of the front swing sub-rod 101, the rear end of the transition swing sub-rod 102 is hinged to the upper end of the rear swing sub-rod 103, the middle of the rear swing sub-rod 103 is hinged to the rear end of the transition swing rod, and the lower end of the rear swing sub-rod 103 is hinged to the rear end of the armrest mounting plate. By adopting the above-mentioned auxiliary swing assembly 100, when the seat frame mounting member 40 moves forward, the transition swing rod 72 can be driven forward through the front drive rod 92, and the transition swing rod 72 moves relative to the armrest mounting plate 30 through the front swing sub-rod 101 and the rear swing sub-rod 103.

[0121] In the third embodiment, the rear end of the front driving rod 92 is hinged to the middle portion of the transition swing rod 72 .

[0122] In embodiment three, since the seat bracket also applies the backrest mechanism in embodiment one, when the backrest mounting plate 10 switches from the folded position to the unfolded position, the backrest mounting plate 10 can move forward a greater distance relative to the seat frame mounting part 40, thereby solving the interference problem between the backrest and the wall and realizing the zero wall-leaning function of the sofa.

[0123] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the auxiliary swing assembly 100 further includes a first swing link 104 and a second swing link 105. The front end of the first swing link 104 is hinged to the front end of the transition swing link, and the rear end of the first swing link 104 is hinged to the middle portion of the front swing sub-link 101. The front end of the second swing link 105 is hinged to the upper end of the front swing sub-link 101, and the rear end of the second swing link 105 is hinged to the middle portion of the transition swing link. The first swing link 104 and the second swing link 105 can limit the motion trajectory of the front swing sub-link 101, thereby limiting the movement of the seat frame mounting member 40 relative to the armrest mounting plate 30.

[0124] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the secondary swing assembly 100 further includes a third swing link 106 and a fixed link 107. The lower end of the third swing link 106 is hinged to the rear end of the transition swing link, and the upper end of the third swing link 106 is hinged to the middle portion of the rear swing sub-link 103. The upper end of the fixed link 107 is fixedly connected to the armrest mounting plate 30, and the lower end of the fixed link 107 is hinged to the lower end of the rear swing sub-link 103. The third swing link 106 and the fixed link 107 can limit the motion trajectory of the rear swing sub-link 103, thereby limiting the movement of the seat frame mounting member 40 relative to the armrest mounting plate 30.

[0125] In the third embodiment, when the backrest mounting plate 10 of the backrest mechanism 60 is in the extended position, the angle γ between the mounting surface of the seat frame mounting member 40 and the horizontal plane is between 13° and 30°. Using this angle range allows the seat frame mounting member 40 to have a larger lifting angle.

[0126] The angle γ between the mounting surface of the seat frame mounting member 40 and the horizontal plane can be 18°, 20°, 23°, 26°, 28° and any value between 13° and 30°.

[0127] In the third embodiment, when the backrest mounting plate 10 of the backrest mechanism 60 is in the deployed position, the angle δ between the backrest mounting plate 10 and the horizontal plane is between 20° and 30°. The above angle range allows the backrest mounting plate 10 to have a larger reclining angle.

[0128] The included angle δ between the backrest mounting plate 10 and the horizontal plane may be 20°, 23°, 25°, 28°, 30°, or any value between 20° and 30°.

[0129] The angle between the backrest mounting plate 10 and the horizontal plane refers to the angle between the center line of the backrest mounting plate 10 and the horizontal plane.

[0130] like Figure 13 As shown, when the backrest mounting plate 10 of the backrest mechanism 60 is in the deployed position, the vertical distance K2 between the highest point of the footrest mechanism 50 and the highest point of the backrest mounting plate 10 is between 260 mm and 380 mm. This dimension range allows the seat frame to be positioned in a reclining position with the user's knees nearly flush with their chest, achieving a zero-gravity experience.

[0131] Among them, the vertical distance K2 between the highest point of the footrest mechanism 50 and the highest point of the backrest mounting plate 10 can be 260mm, 280mm, 300mm, 310mm, 330mm, 350mm, 380mm and any value between 260mm and 380mm.

[0132] A fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a sofa, comprising the seat bracket provided above. By applying an external force to a limiting end of a driving member, the driving member is enabled to rotate relative to a seat frame mounting member 40. Since the front backrest link 21 and the rear backrest link 22 are hingedly connected to the seat frame mounting member 40 via the driving member, the driving member can drive the front backrest link 21 and the rear backrest link 22 to move. The front end of the front backrest link 21 drives the front end of the backrest mounting plate 10, while the upper end of the rear backrest link 22 drives the rear end of the backrest mounting plate 10. This allows the backrest mounting plate 10 to move relative to the seat frame mounting member 40, making the relative position of the backrest mounting plate 10 and the seat frame mounting member 40 more flexible. When the backrest mounting plate 10 switches from a retracted position to an extended position, the backrest mounting plate 10 can move forward a greater distance relative to the seat frame mounting member 40, thereby resolving the problem of interference between the backrest and the wall and achieving the zero-wall-rest function of the sofa. Moreover, since the front backrest connecting rod 21 and the rear backrest connecting rod 22 are both hinged on the driving member, the linkage performance between the connecting rods is enhanced during the movement of the backrest mounting plate 10, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity, stability and movement smoothness of the sofa.
