Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a sofa with a sliding adjustable backrest includes a back frame assembly and a seat frame assembly, which are slidably engaged. The seat frame assembly includes a base frame 1 with a ring track assembly 2 on it, which includes a slide rail 23. The back frame assembly includes at least one backrest 3 with a mounting plate 4 at its bottom and a pulley 5 below it. The pulley 5 engages with the slide rail 23 and can slide around it. The sofa can be adjusted and repositioned by adjusting the position of the backrest 3.

[0025] The design utilizes pulleys and sliding tracks 23 to move and change the direction of the backrest 3, breaking away from the conventional structure of sofas in the market. Users can change the direction of the backrest 3 by following the track 23 without moving the entire sofa, which can effectively save time and effort, greatly improve the customer experience, and enhance the product's competitiveness.

[0026] In one specific embodiment, the bottom frame 1 is a rectangular frame, including a top frame, a bottom frame, and connecting blocks 11 connecting the corners of the top frame and the bottom frame. A ring track 23 is provided inside the rectangular frame, and at least one vertical block 12 is provided on the four side frames of the rectangular frame (i.e., between the two connecting blocks 11), with the vertical block 12 parallel to the connecting block 11.

[0027] The circular track assembly 2 is a racetrack-type structure, including an outer ring track 21, an inner ring track 22, and a sliding track 23 arranged in parallel intervals. The outer ring track 21 and the inner ring track 22 are located within the top frame of a rectangular frame, and their centerlines are the same. The sliding track 23 is located between and below the outer ring track 21 and the inner ring track 22, and both sides of the sliding track 23 are provided with sliding grooves 231. Pulleys 5 are engaged in the sliding grooves 231 and slide around them. Diagonal supports 13 are provided within the rectangular frame corresponding to the vertical supports 12 and the connecting supports 11. The top of the diagonal supports 13 is fixed to the inner ring track 22, and the bottom is fixed to the bottom frame of the base 1. Support blocks 14 are also provided on the diagonal supports 13 and fixed to the sliding track 23 to support the sliding track 23. Horizontal supports 15 are provided between the top frame of the base 1 and the outer ring track 21 at positions corresponding to the vertical supports 12 and the connecting supports 11.

[0028] It is understandable that the vertical support 12 / connecting support 11, the diagonal support 13, and the horizontal support 15 form a triangular support structure, which, together with the support support, is used to support the ring track group 2 and ensure the stability of the ring track group 2.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the backrest 3 is a trapezoidal frame, with its bottom frame movably mounted on the annular track assembly 2. A middle section 31 is provided in the middle of the bottom frame, and a mounting plate 4 is mounted on the bottom of the middle section 31 via a connecting column 32. At least two pulleys 5 are provided below the mounting plate 4, respectively engaging with the side walls of the slide channel 231. The mounting plate 4 is mounted above the slide rail 23, and the pulleys 5 are fixed to the mounting plate 4 via mounting shafts. The pulleys 5 are engaged in the slide channel 231 and move along the slide track trajectory to prevent them from falling off during sliding. To ensure stability, three pulleys 5 can be provided below the mounting plate 4, one engaging with the inner slide channel 231 and the other two engaging with the outer slide channel 231; alternatively, four pulleys 5 can be provided, with two engaging with both the inner and outer slide channels 231.

[0030] The side frame of the backrest 3 is provided with several binding holes 32, which are used to connect two adjacent backrests 3 with binding straps 7 or flexible fabric strips. When multiple backrests 3 are on the same straight line in the racetrack-shaped circular track group 2, a limiting tube 6 is provided between two adjacent backrests 3. The two ends of the limiting tube 6 are fixed to the two adjacent backrests 3 by fasteners (such as fastening screws). The limiting tube 6 helps to prevent the backrests 3 from sinking or sliding when leaning against the area of ​​the binding strap 7. The lower part of the adjacent backrests 3 is fixed by the limiting tube 6, and the upper part is fixed by the limiting tube 6 or the binding strap 7.

[0031] The adjacent backrests 3 of this application are connected by straps 7 or flexible fabric to facilitate the backrests 3 to stop or move along curved paths when sliding. When the backrests 3 are on the same straight line, the adjacent backrests 3 are locked with fastening screws by the limiting tube 6 to achieve the limiting effect, so as to prevent the backrests 3 from sinking or sliding when leaning against the strap area.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
