DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical scheme of the present application, the following will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] As Figures 1-3 indicated, a base with a hidden foot support function includes a base body 1 and a mobile foot support 2:

[0028] The base body 1 includes a seat part 1-1 and a supporting leg 1-2, and the seat part 1-1 and the supporting leg 1-2 enclose a containing space 1-3.

[0029] The mobile foot support 2 is slidingly fitted in the containing space 1-3 and includes a sliding frame 2-1, a foot support plate 2-2 located on the sliding frame 2-1, and a baffle 2-3 located at one end of the sliding frame 2-1.

[0030] The base has a first state, and in the first state, the sliding frame 2-1 and the foot support plate 2-2 are retracted in the containing space 1-3, and the baffle 2-3 is located at the entrance of the containing space 1-3.

[0031] When the foot support function is not used, by completely retracting the mobile foot support 2 into the containing space 1-3 of the base body 1, the foot support plate 2-2 and the sliding frame 2-1 are located below the base body 1, eliminating the visual obtrusiveness of the traditional external foot support and maintaining the simplicity and integrity of the appearance of the base.

[0032] In addition, the mobile foot support 2 is linearly slidingly fitted with the containing space 1-3 through the sliding frame 2-1, which reduces the wear of the moving parts compared with the traditional hinged folding structure, prolongs the service life, and the sliding track is controllable, reducing the risk of shaking or deviation during the unfolding / storage process.

[0033] Meanwhile, in the first state (i.e. the storage state), the baffle 2-3 closes the front entrance of the accommodation space 1-3, preventing dust and debris from entering the slide rail or the interior of the accommodation space 1-3, reducing the cleaning frequency and maintenance cost, and avoiding mechanical failure caused by foreign matter jamming.

[0034] The base has a second state, in which the slide frame 2-1 at least partially extends out of the accommodation space 1-3, and the foot rest plate 2-2 is located in front of the base body 1, facilitating support of the user's legs. The present utility model realizes function conversion by setting two states, and the foot rest plate 2-2 can be extended to the front of the base when needed, providing leg support in accordance with ergonomics. The partial extension design of the slide frame 2-1 ensures stability of support and avoids excessive space occupation.

[0042] In the first state, the limiting column 2-4-1 is rotated to the limit position relative to the limiting groove 2-5-1 and abuts against the end of the limiting groove 2-5-1, and the foot supporting plate 2-2 is in a horizontal state.

[0043] The front part of the sliding frame 2-1 is provided with a front crossbar 2-1-1, the surface of the front crossbar 2-1-1 is provided with a lower connecting plate 2-1-2, and the baffle 2-3 is connected to the lower connecting plate 2-1-2, so as to enhance the installation stability of the baffle 2-3, and the combination design of the front crossbar 2-1-1 and the lower connecting plate 2-1-2 can ensure the structural strength, realize the accurate positioning and quick disassembly of the baffle 2-3.

[0044] The lower part of the seat part 1-1 is provided with an anti-falling piece 1-5, and the sliding frame 2-1 is slidably connected to the circular hole of the anti-falling piece 1-5, so as to effectively prevent the sliding frame 2-1 from derailing, improve the service life of the product, maintain the smoothness of the sliding process, and ensure the reliability of the function conversion operation.
