Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to related technical field of sofa especially, a handrail lifting mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern home life, as the important furniture of the living room space, the comfort and functionality of the sofa are increasingly concerned by consumers. As an important part of the sofa, the armrest not only provides arm support for the user, but also affects the overall appearance and use experience of the sofa to some extent.

[0003] At present, the common sofa armrests on the market are mostly fixed design, that is, the height and angle of the armrest are determined after the sofa is manufactured, and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the individual needs of the user and the use scene. This fixed armrest design has many limitations. For example, for users of different heights and use habits, the fixed height armrest may not provide the most comfortable arm support, causing the user to feel arm fatigue when using the sofa for a long time. In addition, when watching TV, reading books or engaging in other leisure activities, users may need to adjust the armrest height according to different postures to obtain better support effect, but the fixed armrest obviously cannot meet this demand.

[0004] In order to improve the above problems, some sofa armrests with simple adjustment function appear on the market, such as changing the angle or height of the armrest by manual rotation or stretching. However, these adjustment methods are usually cumbersome to operate, and the user needs to spend a certain amount of time and effort to adjust, and the adjustment accuracy and stability are also difficult to guarantee. Especially in the case of frequent adjustment of the armrest height, the manual adjustment method is obviously not convenient and efficient. And some electric lifting armrests rely on multi-stage connecting rod or gear transmission system, although they can realize height adjustment, but the structure is complex, occupies large space, and long-term use is easy to appear the shaking problem caused by mechanical wear, which affects the support stability.

[0018] By adopting the above scheme, the integrated assembly can pre-assemble the slider and the assembly on the production line to form a standardized module, and only needs to be connected with the track and the driving mechanism on site, thereby significantly shortening the assembly time; if the slider is worn or the assembly is deformed, the integrated assembly module can be replaced as a whole, without the need to disassemble adjacent components, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty and downtime.

[0019] Further, the integrated assembly comprises a first assembly hole, a second assembly hole and a slider assembly hole, and the number of the first assembly hole, the second assembly hole and the slider assembly hole is two or more.

[0020] By adopting the above scheme, the slider, the first assembly and the second assembly can be fixed on the integrated assembly by means of bolts passing through the first assembly hole and the second assembly, bolts passing through the second assembly hole and the first assembly, and bolts passing through the slider assembly hole and the slider, thereby reducing the complexity of separate assembly.

[0021] Further, the slider corresponds to the cross-sectional structure of the sliding groove.

[0022] By adopting the above scheme, when the slider moves in the sliding groove, the slider and the sliding groove form bidirectional constraint, thereby effectively preventing the lateral overturning of the slider due to eccentric load or impact.

[0023] Further, the armrest lifting mechanism further comprises a shell, the shell comprises a wrapping shell assembled with a sofa or an iron frame and a cover connected with the armrest, the wrapping shell has a containing cavity, the track is fixed in the containing cavity, the fixed part of the driving part is fixed in the containing cavity, and the sliding part is fixed with the cover, so that the cover can be lifted relative to the wrapping shell.

[0025] Further, the lifting height range of the armrest is 30-400mm.
