Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of headrest support technology, and in particular to a folding headrest support mechanism for single sofas. Background Technology
[0002] A folding headrest for a single sofa is a component installed on a single sofa to support the head. Its main feature is that the headrest part can be folded. It is an important part of the sofa, mainly providing a comfortable head position for users when sitting or leaning on the sofa. The headrest can also be changed in shape through the folding function to meet different usage scenarios and needs. Furniture designers have gradually realized the importance of adjustable headrests, and folding headrest support mechanisms have emerged.
[0003] Typically, a headrest is fixed directly to the top of the sofa back. The headrest contains filling material, such as sponge or polyester fiber, to provide soft support for the head. When the head rests on the headrest, the filling material undergoes elastic deformation under the pressure of the head, generating a supporting force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the pressure of the head. This supporting force is evenly distributed on the surface of the headrest that contacts the head to maintain the stability of the head.
[0004] In existing technologies, headrests are directly fixed to the back of the sofa. Users have different needs for headrest height depending on their posture. When a user is reclining, their head position is lower than when sitting, and the headrest needs to be lowered accordingly to provide proper support. Since the headrest cannot be adjusted up and down, it cannot adapt to this change in posture, resulting in the head not fitting well against the headrest and failing to obtain a comfortable experience. Therefore, a folding headrest support mechanism for single sofas is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The two gear plates 8 are meshed with the gear plates 10, allowing for adjustment of the headrest angle. Users can adjust the headrest position according to their needs. The rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the right side of the outside of the rotating rod 7. An eccentric pressure block 11 is attached to lock the meshing between the toothed plate 8 and the toothed plate 10, thereby fixing the folding headrest 14 after adjustment. The outside of the eccentric pressure block 11 abuts against the outside of the right rotating plate 6. A pull rod 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the eccentric pressure block 11, which is used by the user to pull the eccentric pressure block 11. A support block 13 is fixedly connected to the front side of the transmission block 9, which supports the folding headrest 14. The front end of the support block 13 is fixedly connected to the folding headrest 14, which conforms to the curve of the user's head, provides comfortable support for the head, effectively relieves neck pressure, and allows the user to sit for a long time without fatigue.
[0034] The internal threaded connection of the support block 13 is for fixing the threaded assembly, which includes a bolt 15. The external thread of the bolt 15 is connected to the internal front end of the transmission block 9. The external thread of the bolt 15 is connected to the inside of the support block 13. The external thread of the bolt 15 is connected to a nut 16 to prevent the headrest from loosening during daily use and frequent adjustment. The outside of the nut 16 is in contact with the outside of the support block 13.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 The mounting plate 3 has multiple sleeve rods 17 fixedly connected inside. The sleeve rods 17 are used to embed into the backrest 2 and provide rotation space for the rotating rod 18. The rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected inside the multiple sleeve rods 17. The rotating rod 18 drives the bearing block 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the locking claw 21 to rotate. The rear end of the rotating rod 18 is fixedly connected to the bearing block 19. The bearing block 19 is rotatably connected to the inside of the sleeve rod 17. The bearing block 19 is fixedly connected to multiple support shafts 20 inside. The support shafts 20 are used to support the rotation of the locking claw 21. The locking claw 21 is rotatably connected to the outside of the multiple support shafts 20. The locking claw 21 is used to engage with the slot 23. Now, the folding headrest 14 can be installed or removed.
[0036] The external rotatable connection of the locking claw 21 is connected to the inside of the sleeve rod 17. Multiple springs 22 are fixedly connected inside the bearing block 19. The springs 22 provide elastic force to make the locking claw 21 engage. The other end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the external side of the locking claw 21. Multiple slots 23 are opened inside the backrest 2. The external slidable connection of the sleeve rod 17 is connected to the inside of the slot 23.

The rotating block 24 facilitates the user to operate the rotating rod 28.
[0037] Working principle: When the folding headrest 14 needs to be adjusted, first pull the lever 12. The lever 12 drives the eccentric pressure block 11 to rotate. The eccentric pressure block 11 rotates and squeezes the rotating plate 6 on the right side, so that the rotating plate 6 on the right side rotates around the support rod 5 as the axis, which in turn drives the toothed plate 8 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the two toothed plates 8 are respectively engaged with the toothed plates 10 on both sides of the transmission block 9, the rotation of the toothed plate 8 drives the toothed plate 10 to move. The toothed plate 10 drives the transmission block 9 to slide on the rotating rod 7. The support block 13 fixed on the front side of the transmission block 9 moves together with the transmission block 9, which in turn drives the folding headrest 14 to adjust the up and down angle, and then the headrest position can be adjusted.
[0038] When the folding headrest 14 needs to be installed, insert the sleeve rod 17 into the slot 23, then rotate the rotating block 24, which will drive the rotating rod 18 to rotate. The bearing block 19 at the rear end of the rotating rod 18 will rotate accordingly. After the bearing block 19 rotates, the spring 22 inside the bearing block 19 pushes the locking claw 21 to rotate around the support shaft 20, so that the locking claw 21 is engaged in the slot 23, connecting the mounting plate 3 and the backrest 2, thereby realizing the installation of the folding headrest 14.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
