Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric bed technology, specifically to a four-bar linkage backrest release mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the ever-accelerating pace of modern life, people are increasingly aware that good sleep and rest are key factors in restoring energy and maintaining physical and mental health amidst their busy work and lives. Sleep quality not only directly affects people's daily mental state and work efficiency, but also, in the long run, is closely related to their physical health. Electric beds, which can actively adjust posture, have gradually entered the public eye, allowing people to adjust the bed's position according to their own needs while resting, thereby obtaining a better sleep and relaxation experience.

[0003] Traditional electric beds typically offer only limited and simple adjustments to the headboard, failing to meet users' needs for precise support for different body parts and diverse posture adjustments. They also suffer from low adjustment freedom, unsmooth posture transitions, and stress concentration, making them prone to damage. Furthermore, when placed against a wall, adjustments to the bed structure, such as raising the backrest, can easily cause the bed to bump against the wall, potentially damaging both the wall and the bed, affecting the user experience, and posing certain safety hazards.

[0004] Based on the above, this utility model proposes a four-bar linkage backrest release mechanism, which can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For better illustration of this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product dimensions. It is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings for those skilled in the art. The positional relationships described in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent.

[0018] A four-bar linkage backrest release mechanism includes a bed board assembly 1, a base frame 2, a head motor assembly 3, a back motor assembly 4, and a lumbar motor assembly 5. The base frame 2 is installed below the bed board assembly 1. The bed board assembly 1 includes a headboard 11, a backboard 12, and a lumbar board 13 arranged sequentially. The headboard 11, backboard 12, and lumbar board 13 are rotatably connected by hinges. The headboard 11 is rotatably connected to the backboard 12 via the head motor assembly 3. A backrest upper frame 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the backboard 12, and the backrest upper frame 6 is movably connected to the base frame 2 via the back motor assembly 4. The lumbar board 13 is rotatably connected to the backboard 12 via the lumbar motor assembly 5.

[0019] This invention utilizes the coordinated drive of three independent motor assemblies—head motor assembly 3, back motor assembly 4, and lumbar motor assembly 5—to achieve independent angle adjustment of the headboard 11, backboard 12, and lumbar board 13. Simultaneously, these assemblies can be linked for angle adjustment, providing users with a highly personalized comfort experience and greatly enriching the various needs of electric beds in different scenarios. Furthermore, when the bed is placed against a wall and the upper backrest frame 6 is raised and adjusted, the rear bed (not shown in the figure) remains stationary. The lumbar board 13 moves from the side closest to the rear bed towards the side diagonally downwards away from the rear bed. Simultaneously, the headboard, backboard, and lumbar board, with their sides against the wall, move upwards towards the rear bed, allowing the front bed (i.e., headboard 11, backboard 12, and lumbar board 13) to detach from the rear bed, ensuring reliable wall placement without the risk of collision with the wall.

[0020] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the head motor assembly 3 includes a first drive motor 31 rotatably connected to the backrest bed 12, and a head hinge 32 rotatably connected to the output end of the first drive motor 31, the head hinge 32 being installed between the headrest bed 11 and the backrest bed 12.

[0021] When the headrest 11 needs to be adjusted, the first drive motor 31 in the head motor assembly 3 is activated. The first drive motor 31 outputs power, which drives the head hinge 32, which is rotatably connected to the output end. Since the head hinge 32 is installed between the headrest 11 and the backrest 12, the headrest 11 rotates relative to the backrest 12, thereby adjusting the head support angle to meet the user's needs for reading, watching TV, etc.

[0022] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the back motor assembly 4 includes a second drive motor 41 rotatably connected to the bottom frame 2, a fixed bracket 42 rotatably connected to the output end of the second drive motor 41, a bracket connecting rod 43 fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 42, and roller brackets 44 fixedly connected to both ends of the bracket connecting rod 43 respectively; the lower end of the roller bracket 44 is rotatably connected to the bottom frame 2, and a roller 45 is installed on the upper end of the roller bracket 44. The roller 45 is installed in a slide rail 46, and the slide rail 46 is fixedly connected to the upper back frame 6; a first connecting plate 47 is fixedly connected to both sides of the upper back frame 6 respectively. One end of the first connecting plate 47 is fixedly connected to one end of a second connecting plate 49 through a first connecting rod 48, and the other end of the first connecting plate 47 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second connecting plate 49 through a second connecting rod 410. The second connecting plate 49 is fixedly connected to the bottom frame 2.

[0023] When the angle of the backrest bed board 12 needs to be adjusted, the second drive motor 41 in the backrest motor assembly 4 is activated. The second drive motor 41 drives the first fixed bracket 42 to rotate. The first fixed bracket 42 drives the first bracket connecting rod 43 fixedly connected to it. The roller brackets 44 at both ends of the first bracket connecting rod 43 move accordingly. The lower end of the roller bracket 44 is rotatably connected to the bottom frame 2, and the upper end of the first roller 45 rolls in the first slide rail 46 fixedly connected to the upper backrest frame 6, thereby pushing the upper backrest frame 6 and the backrest bed board 12 fixed on it to rotate relative to the bottom frame 2, realizing the adjustment of the angle of the backrest bed board 12. At the same time, the backrest motor assembly 4 uses a guide system with rollers 45 and slide rail 46 to form a double connecting plate linkage mechanism with the first connecting plate 47 and the second connecting plate 49, forming a four-bar linkage connection structure, which ensures the stability of the connection between the backrest bed board 12 and the bottom frame 2, and can withstand greater force during the adjustment process, ensuring safety and reliability.

[0024] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the lumbar motor assembly 5 includes a third drive motor 51 rotatably connected to the backrest bed 12, and a lumbar hinge 52 rotatably connected to the output end of the third drive motor 51, the lumbar hinge 52 being installed between the lumbar bed 13 and the backrest bed 12.

[0025] When the angle of the lumbar support bed board 13 needs to be adjusted, the third drive motor 51 in the lumbar motor assembly 5 is activated. The third drive motor 51 drives the lumbar hinge 52, which is rotatably connected to the output end. Since the lumbar hinge 52 is installed between the lumbar support bed board 13 and the backrest bed board 12, it causes the lumbar support bed board 13 to rotate relative to the backrest bed board 12, so that the angle of the lumbar support bed board 13 can be adjusted independently, better conforming to the curve of the human waist and relieving lumbar pressure.

[0026] Based on the description and drawings of this utility model, those skilled in the art can easily manufacture or use a four-bar linkage backrest release mechanism of this utility model, and can produce the positive effects described in this utility model.
