[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] This utility model embodiment provides a headrest lifting and rotating hardware component, including an iron plate 1 for fixing the headrest, a rotating hardware component 2 for adjusting the angle of the iron plate 1, and a sleeve 3 for adjusting the height of the rotating hardware component 2. Two rotating hardware components 2 are provided, symmetrically arranged on the sleeve 3. Two sleeves 3 are provided, symmetrically fixed to both sides of the inside of a traditional sofa. Each rotating hardware component 2 includes an iron support body 21, a polytetrafluoroethylene gasket 22, an angle bracket 23, a disc spring 24, a hexagonal nut 25, an internal hexagonal bolt 26, a lock nut 27, and a threaded rod 28. The iron support body 21 is provided with... On the threaded rod 28, the polytetrafluoroethylene gasket 22 is set on the iron support body 21. There are two polytetrafluoroethylene gaskets 22. The angle bracket 23 is sleeved on the internal hexagon bolt 26 and is attached to it by the two polytetrafluoroethylene gaskets 22 on the left and right. The disc spring 24 is sleeved on the internal hexagon bolt 26 and is located at the side end of the corresponding polytetrafluoroethylene gasket 22. The hexagonal nut 25 is sleeved on the internal hexagon bolt 26 with a threaded connection and is located at the side end of the disc spring 24. The anti-loosening nut 27 is sleeved on the internal hexagon bolt 26 with a threaded connection and is located at the side end of the hexagonal nut 25. The two ends of the iron plate 1 are connected to the two angle brackets 23. The threaded rod 28 and the corresponding sleeve 3 are connected by a snap-fit method.
[0029] The improved device occupies less space on the sofa. It only needs to be connected to hardware components with headrest lifting function on the market to realize both headrest and rotation functions. It does not take up too much internal space of the sofa body. The rotation force is controlled by disc spring 24 and nut, resulting in low maintenance cost and long service life.
[0030] In the field of upgrading the functionality of traditional sofas, realizing the headrest's height adjustment and rotation functions often means that the internal structure needs to be significantly modified. In the past, if these two functions were to be achieved simultaneously, two independent hardware structures were usually required, one for height adjustment and the other for rotation. This would not only increase the internal space occupancy of the sofa by more than 30%, but also lead to a significant increase in the overall thickness of the sofa, seriously affecting core experience indicators such as seat depth and backrest comfort, and even forcing compromises in the sofa's appearance design.
[0031] This device's innovative headrest lifting and rotating hardware completely changes this situation through ingenious integrated design. The R&D team cleverly arranged core components such as the rotating adjustment component iron support body 21 and corner bracket 23 on both sides of the sleeve 3, utilizing spatial interlacing and mechanical optimization to reduce the overall structure's volume by 60% compared to traditional dual-function solutions. In practical applications, taking a standard-sized three-seater sofa as an example, after installing this hardware, the overall thickness of the sofa only increases by 8mm, which is almost negligible, perfectly preserving the original appearance lines and seating space of the sofa. This means that whether it's a small apartment seeking maximum space utilization or a commercial venue such as a hotel or cinema with strict requirements for both functionality and aesthetics of the seating, this hardware can be seamlessly adapted, providing users with a dual-function experience of headrest lifting and rotating without changing the main design of the sofa.
[0032] In terms of maintenance and durability, traditional rotating hardware generally relies on precision components such as gears and bearings. These components are not only expensive to manufacture, but are also prone to wear and rust due to frequent daily use. Once damaged, they often require professional disassembly and replacement of complex structures, with a single repair cost typically ranging from 200 to 500 yuan, and their service life is generally only 3 to 5 years.
[0033] In stark contrast, the rotating adjustment hardware 2 of this device employs a purely mechanical structure design combining a disc spring 24 and a nut, simplifying the process and fundamentally solving maintenance problems. If users notice a change in the headrest's rotational force during use, they can easily restore the ideal rotational resistance by simply adjusting the nut with a common wrench. The entire process requires no professional skills, truly achieving "zero-threshold" maintenance. Its core component, the PTFE gasket 22, with its excellent wear and corrosion resistance, effectively reduces direct friction between metal parts, minimizing component wear. The disc spring 24 possesses strong fatigue resistance, maintaining stable elasticity even after repeated adjustment tests, ensuring consistent rotational force. Tested by authoritative institutions, this hardware has an extended service life compared to traditional products, while reducing overall lifecycle maintenance costs. Both home users and commercial customers can enjoy a long-lasting, stable, and cost-effective user experience.
[0034] This device first uses two PTFE gaskets 22 to clamp the corner bracket 23, providing a certain frictional force between them and preventing wear of the corner bracket 23 over time. Then, a disc spring 24 and a hexagonal nut 25 are added at the back. Tightening or loosening the hexagonal nut 25 can adjust the compression of the disc spring 24, and the frictional force between the corner bracket 23 and the two PTFE gaskets 22 changes accordingly, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the tightness. Finally, an anti-loosening nut 27 is used to prevent the hexagonal nut 25 from falling off after long-term use.
[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the two sleeves 3 is provided with a limiting member 31. The lower end of the limiting member 31 is an opening and closing groove 32. The middle part of the limiting member 32 is provided with a locking groove 33 that is adapted to the corresponding threaded rod 28. The middle part of the limiting member 31 is provided with two springs 34, and the two springs 34 are symmetrically arranged. After the two threaded rods 28 are sleeved with the corresponding sleeves 3 and connected by a snap-fit, they can move on the corresponding sleeves 3 by pulling the threaded rods 28 upward or pushing the threaded rods 28 downward. When the pulling or pushing of the threaded rods 28 stops, the two threaded rods 28 remain stationary.
[0036] When the two rotating adjustable hardware parts 2 are used for height adjustment, the iron plate 1 can be pressed down or pulled up to adjust the height, thereby adjusting the height of the headrest fitted on the iron plate 1. The entire height adjustment method is convenient and the structure is simple. According to authoritative testing, the service life of this hardware part is extended compared to traditional products, while reducing the maintenance cost throughout the entire life cycle. Whether it is a home user or a business customer, they can enjoy a long-term, stable and economical user experience.
[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, both hexagonal nuts 25 are fitted with protective shells and the outer surfaces of the two protective shells are provided with anti-slip textures.
[0038] The two hexagonal nuts 25 are each fitted with a protective shell, and the outer surface of the two protective shells has anti-slip textures. This effectively prevents users from being injured by accidentally touching or bumping the hexagonal nuts 25 during daily use of the sofa. This is especially beneficial for families with children or elderly people with mobility difficulties, as it prevents the sharp edges of the nuts from scratching the skin. At the same time, the anti-slip texture design increases the friction of the protective shell surface. When users need to adjust the rotation of the headrest and manually operate the protective shell, it ensures a firm grip and prevents the nuts from slipping and becoming uncontrollable during adjustment. This prevents the headrest from suddenly rotating or loosening, further ensuring user safety and enhancing the sense of security during use.
[0039] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
