Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] As mentioned in the background art, existing sofas cannot have their entire backrest flipped up due to the height requirements of the backrest and the interference between the backrest and the seat after flipping. Instead, only the upper part of the backrest can be flipped up, thus affecting the utilization rate of the flipped backrest.

[0028] Therefore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a sofa backrest structure, including a backrest frame 1 and a backrest body 2. A first connecting rod 31 and a second connecting rod 32 are rotatably connected to the backrest frame 1 on both opposite sides of the backrest body 2. The rotatable connection point between the first connecting rod 31 and the backrest frame 1 is above the rotatable connection point between the second connecting rod 32 and the backrest frame 1. Similarly, the rotatable connection point between the first connecting rod 31 and the upright backrest body 2 is above the rotatable connection point between the second connecting rod 32 and the upright backrest body 2. Thus, when the backrest body 2 is in the upright position, the state of the two connecting rods is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it should be noted that the upright state refers to the backrest body being housed within the backrest frame. The state in use, for comparison with the horizontal state after being flipped over, does not mean the backrest body is in a perfectly vertical 90° position; the backrest body often has a certain degree of tilt. During the process of flipping the backrest body 2 to the horizontal state, due to the limiting effect of the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32 rotates upwards around its rotational connection point with the backrest frame 1. Therefore, when the backrest body 2 is in the horizontal state, the height of its lower end increases with the rotation of the second connecting rod 32, as shown in the diagram. Figure 2 As shown. Therefore, after the backrest body 2 is flipped to a horizontal position, its upholstery faces downwards. However, due to the increased height, the upholstery will not be severely compressed against the upholstery on the sofa seat, thus ensuring high stability in the horizontal position. Simultaneously, the increased height better meets the user's needs. Therefore, in this embodiment, the entire backrest body 2 or most of its structure can be flipped, increasing the usable area on the upper side of the backrest body 2 in the horizontal position to integrate more functions. This improves the utilization rate of the flipped backrest body 2 and enhances the user's convenience in using the sofa.

[0029] To improve structural strength and stability, a third connecting rod 33 is provided on the backrest frame 1. One end of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 33. Simultaneously, a reinforcing mounting piece 34 is provided on the side end of the backrest body 2. The other ends of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are rotatably connected to the reinforcing mounting piece 34. The reinforcing mounting piece 34 can be a right-angle piece, with its two plates connecting the backrest body 2 and the connecting rods respectively. Furthermore, through the aforementioned third connecting rod 33 and reinforcing mounting piece 34, the entire connecting rod structure can be pre-assembled. Then, bolts are used to connect and fix the third connecting rod 33 and the reinforcing mounting piece 34 to the backrest frame 1 and the backrest body 2 respectively, thus achieving the installation of the entire connecting rod structure.

[0030] Due to the design of the aforementioned linkage structure, the entire backrest body or most of its structure can be flipped to a horizontal position to be used as a "small table." Therefore, the "small table" has a larger usable area, allowing for the integration of more functions. Specifically, taking the backrest body 2 in its horizontal position as an example, with the back of the backrest body 2 facing upwards, two cup holders 21 are located near the front of the back of the backrest body 2. A wireless charging device 22 is located in the area slightly behind the two cup holders 21, and a storage slot 23 is located behind the wireless charging device 22. To allow the storage slot 23 to be closed and to facilitate its use as a table, a flip-up cover 231 is rotatably connected to the backrest body 2 near the rear end of the storage slot 23. When the flip-up cover 231 is open, the user can lean against the backrest frame 1, while also avoiding interference with users on the left and right sides or with water cups or other items on the front.

[0031] In addition, to facilitate reading on the sofa, a light panel 51 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the backrest frame 1. The light panel 51 is equipped with two reading lights 52 on the left and right. In use, the light panel 51 is flipped upward to a horizontal position, and the reading lights 52 are positioned below for illumination. In storage, the light panel 51 is flipped downward to fit against the backrest frame 1. At this time, the reading lights 52 face the backrest frame 1, so that they will not interfere with the reset action of the backrest body 2, and the backrest body 2 will not collide with the reading lights 52 when it resets.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, this specification provides a sofa that may include three sofa seat units 61. Two of the side sofa seat units 61 have conventional backrests 62, while the middle sofa seat unit 61 has the sofa backrest structure described above, which serves as a "small table" between the left and right sofa seat units after the backrest body 2 is flipped to a horizontal position. Of course, the sofa may also include more sofa seat units and have the sofa backrest structure described above at the desired locations.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are implementations based on the overall concept of this utility model. Furthermore, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
