[0028] The technical solution of this embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiment is one embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments thereof. Based on this embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a multifunctional sofa storage cabinet.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the multifunctional sofa armrest storage cabinet includes a sofa body and at least one sofa armrest 1 installed on one side of the sofa body. Generally, one sofa body is equipped with two sofa armrests 1. The sofa armrests 1 are installed on both sides of the sofa to form a whole for people to use.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the sofa armrest 1 includes a frame 11, which includes a base at the bottom and a functional seat at the top; as Figure 3 As shown, a first storage cabinet 2 is installed inside the frame 11. The first storage cabinet 2 is slidably connected to the inside of the frame 11, and can be easily and promptly opened and closed for storage.
[0032] Furthermore, for sealing and easy opening, the first storage cabinet 2 is provided with an end cover 3 at one end; even further, in this embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, the frame 11 has a first receiving groove 12 at its end. Pushing the end cover 3 will insert the first storage cabinet 2 into the first receiving groove 12, so that the end cover 3 covers the first receiving groove 12, sealing the first receiving groove 12 and the first storage cabinet 2.
[0033] like Figure 2The frame 11 is equipped with a tabletop body 4 on its upper part. The tabletop body 4 includes a first tabletop 41 and a second tabletop 42. The bottom of the first tabletop 41 is rotatably connected to the frame 11 through a rotating mechanism 5. A second storage cabinet 7 is provided between the tabletop body 4 and the frame 11. Driving the second tabletop 42 causes the first tabletop 41 to rotate around the rotating mechanism 5, so that the tabletop body 4 and the frame 11 are perpendicular to each other, thus exposing the second storage cabinet 7.
[0034] Furthermore, after the tabletop body 4 rotates, it serves as a support tabletop, making it convenient to place beverages and support portable electronic devices. The second storage cabinet 7 can store some snacks and beverages, which can be easily taken out and placed on the tabletop body 4 for drinking. Furthermore, when the tabletop body 4 is not in use, it can be manually or automatically restored, so as not to affect other functions of the sofa.
[0035] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 5 includes a rotating shaft 51, which is mounted on the bottom of the first table 41 and fixedly connected to the first table 41. The second table 42 is manually driven to make the first table 41 rotate around the rotating shaft 51, and a spring protrusion is used to limit the rotation by 90° to maintain the stability of the position.
[0036] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 5 is automatically driven by a drive motor; the rotating mechanism 5 includes a drive motor installed inside the frame 11 and a rotating shaft 51 at the end of the drive motor. The rotating shaft 51 is installed at the bottom of the first tabletop 41 and is fixedly connected to the first tabletop 41, driving the tabletop body 4 to rotate; a control switch is also installed on the frame 11, the control switch is electrically connected to the drive motor, and controls the rotation of the drive motor and the first tabletop 41.
[0037] like Figure 6 The diagram shows a schematic of the structure in which the drive motor drives the first platform 41 to rotate 360°.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the first receiving groove 12 is slidably connected to the first storage cabinet 2 on both sides by a slide rail assembly 6; the slide rail assembly 6 includes a first slide rail 61 installed on the first receiving groove 12 and a second slide rail 62 installed on the first storage cabinet 2. The second slide rail 62 slides along the first slide rail 61 to realize the sliding out and retraction of the first storage cabinet 2.
[0039] In some embodiments, the tabletop body 4 is a recessed structure, and the frame 11 is provided with a second receiving groove for accommodating the tabletop body 4. When the tabletop body 4 is parallel to the frame 11 and in its original position, the tabletop body 4 covers the second receiving groove, so that the upper surface of the sofa armrest 1 is flat and does not affect the surface flatness of the sofa armrest 1.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a tabletop body 4 is installed on the upper part of the frame 11. The tabletop body 4 protrudes from the upper part of the frame 11, and the end of the tabletop body 4 is flush with the end of the frame 11, so that the tabletop body 4 is located at the end of the sofa armrest 1.
[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the space of the first storage cabinet 2 is much larger than that of the second storage cabinet 7; the first storage cabinet 2 is used to store more items, while the second storage cabinet 7 is used to store some snacks and drinks.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the second storage cabinet 7 is smaller than the second countertop 42, and the second storage cabinet 7 is located directly below the second countertop 42.
[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the first countertop 41 and the second countertop 42 are connected by several connecting hinges 8. When the second countertop 42 is flipped over and placed on the first countertop 41, the second storage cabinet 7 is exposed.
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the second tabletop 42 is provided with a placement groove 421 and a strip groove 422. When the second tabletop 42 is folded onto the first tabletop 41, the placement groove 421 and the strip groove 422 are on the upper surface.
[0045] The placement groove 421 is used to place a water cup or beverage, and the strip groove 422 is used to place a portable electronic device, such as a mobile phone or tablet; other flat parts can also hold some snacks or other items.
[0046] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
