This design can meet the needs of different users, allowing them to adjust the height of the armrest 628 according to their personal habits and usage scenarios, improving the comfort and flexibility of the sofa bed and bringing a better user experience.
[0032] Operating principle and advantages: By setting up the multi-functional armrest assembly 6, this device can exhibit excellent performance during actual use. During use, by pulling out the armrest plate 628, the connecting plate 627 is moved forward. As the connecting plate 627 moves forward, the base block 625 is pulled forward and disengaged from the limiting hole 622. During this process, the limiting spring 624 is in a compressed state. Then, the armrest platform 63 is rotated towards the inside of the sofa bed body 1. At this time, the armrest platform 63 is in a horizontal position. Then, the pull plate is released, and the limiting spring 624 will quickly return to its original position, causing the base block 625 to push the limiting pin 626 into the limiting hole 622. This allows the armrest platform in the horizontal position to be adjusted. The plate 63 is securely fixed. In addition, by starting the drive motor 32, the lead screw 33 can be driven to rotate. After the lead screw 33 rotates, the slider 34 can be driven to slide smoothly inside the slide groove 31. By adjusting the sliding of the slider 34, the armrest platform 63 can be moved up and down. In this way, the armrest platform 63 of this device can not only be height adjusted, but also provide a stable support surface when it is on the sofa bed body 1 by flipping the armrest platform 63. Whether it is using a laptop for office work, reading, eating, etc., it becomes extremely convenient. This design can further improve the functionality of this sofa bed and meet the diverse needs of users in different scenarios.
[0033] By setting up the support mechanism 64, the device performs better during use. When the armrest platform 63 is in a horizontal position, open the cover plate inside the storage slot 641. At this time, rotate the sleeve 643 on the hinge seat 642 so that it faces downward. Then, pull the slide rod 644 downward and insert the lower end of the slide rod 644 into the slot 645 on the support plate 648. Next, turn the hand-tightening bolt 646 so that the end of the hand-tightening bolt 646 is inserted into the inside of the positioning hole 647. Through this operation, the sleeve 643 and the slide rod 644 can be effectively fixed. By fixing the sleeve 643 and the slide rod 644, the device can be effectively fixed. The sliding rod 644 can assist in supporting and reinforcing the armrest platform 63, giving the armrest platform 63 excellent stability. This improves the load-bearing capacity of the armrest platform 63, ensuring that it can safely and reliably bear the weight of various items during use. In addition, the storage drawer 5 can be used to store items, thereby saving indoor space and further improving the functionality of this sofa bed. Furthermore, the use of the soft cushion 4 can further improve the comfort of the top of the sofa bed body 1, bringing a more pleasant user experience and facilitating the use of this device in various scenarios.
[0034] The main body 1 of this sofa bed is based on existing technology, specifically a push-pull folding bed. It consists of a fixed frame, a movable bed board, guide rails, a support structure, and a locking device. Its operating principle is to achieve the extension and retraction function of the bed body by means of the guide rails. When used normally as a sofa, the movable bed board is tucked inside the fixed frame, without occupying extra space. When it needs to be used as a bed, the movable bed board is pulled outward, and the movable bed board slides smoothly out along the guide rails, increasing the overall length of the bed. At the same time, the support structure provides support after the movable bed board is fully extended, ensuring the stability of the bed during use. When it is time to return to the sofa state, the support structure is released, the movable bed board is pushed back into the fixed frame along the guide rails, and then the locking device fixes the movable bed board in the initial position, completing the folding operation. Since this is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.
