Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figures 1-5As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a central control console, comprising:

[0027] Load-bearing structure 1;

[0028] The central control unit 2 is movably connected to the supporting structure 1;

[0029] The displacement mechanism 3 is mounted on the supporting structure 1 to drive the movement of the central control console body 2;

[0030] During normal use, the central control unit 2 is located inside the armrest of the smart sofa. When the user is in a reclining position, the user can move the central control unit 2 on the supporting structure 1 through the displacement mechanism 3. By moving the central control unit 2 to other positions, the switch buttons on it will not be accidentally triggered by the arm, body or pillow.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the supporting structure 1 includes a receiving cavity 101, with an opening 102 communicating with the outside. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 101 is movably fitted with a plate-shaped soft pad 103 covering the opening 102. The outer side of the plate-shaped soft pad 103 is made of leather of the same material as the sofa, and the inside is filled with flame-retardant sponge. The center console body 2 is installed on the side of the plate-shaped soft pad 103 facing the opening 102. Only when the plate-shaped soft pad 103 moves to the position where the center console body 2 is aligned with the opening 102 can the user interact with the center console body 2 through the opening 102. The receiving cavity 101 accommodates the center console body 2, which can effectively prevent accidental touch. At the same time, the plate-shaped soft pad 103 can block the opening 102 to a certain extent, reducing the number of external items entering the receiving cavity 101 through the opening 102.

[0032] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the displacement mechanism 3 includes guide rails 301 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the opening 102. The opening 102 is strip-shaped and parallel to the ground. Here, "both sides" specifically refers to the two sides in the width direction of the opening 102. Multiple guide posts 302 are distributed on both sides of the plate-shaped soft package 103. The guide posts 302 are linearly distributed on the side of the plate-shaped soft package 103, and the guide posts 302 are tangentially sliding with the inner wall of the guide rail 301. Through the mutual cooperation of the multiple guide posts 302 and the guide rail 301, the plate-shaped soft package 103 can be shaped into a plate shape and is not easily deformed. The guide rail 301 is provided with a driving member 303 for driving the plate-shaped soft package 103 to move along the length direction of the guide rail 301, thereby moving the center console body 2.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the driving component 303 includes a rotating rod 3031 rotatably mounted on two guide rails 301, parallel to the opening 102, with a drive motor 3032 connected to the end of the rotating rod 3031, and a stop post 3033 connected to the periphery of the rotating rod 3031, which abuts and overlaps with the outer side of the plate-shaped soft package 103. When the drive motor 3032 is working, it can drive the rotating rod 3031 to rotate the stop post 3033. At this time, under the action of friction, the rotating stop post 3033 can drive the plate-shaped soft package 103 to move along the length direction of the guide rail 301.

[0034] like Figures 3-5 As shown, in some embodiments, a roller 4 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the guide post 302 and rolls tangentially with the inner wall of the guide rail 301. The design of the roller 4 can convert the sliding friction between the guide post 302 and the inner wall of the guide rail 301 during the movement of the plate-shaped soft package 103 into rolling friction between the roller 4 and the inner wall of the guide rail 301, thereby reducing the frictional resistance when the plate-shaped soft package 103 moves, and making it easier for the abutment post 3033 to drive the plate-shaped soft package 103 to move.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the abutment 3033 has a circumferentially distributed strip groove 5. The design of the strip groove 5 can increase the roughness of the outer surface of the abutment 3033, thereby increasing the friction between the abutment 3033 and the plate-shaped soft package 103, so that the abutment 3033 is not easy to spin and slip on the outer surface of the plate-shaped soft package 103 during rotation.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the axis of the abutment 3033 is parallel to the opening 102. Under the contact of the abutment 3033, the plate-shaped soft package 103 will contact the inner edge of the opening 102. When the opening 102 applies an external force to the plate-shaped soft package 103 inward, the plate-shaped soft package 103 is not easy to open under the action of the abutment 3033, thereby further improving the blocking effect of the plate-shaped soft package 103 on the opening 102, making it difficult for external items to enter the receiving cavity 101 through the opening 102. During the rotation of the abutment 3033, the plate-shaped soft package 103 can be slightly deformed and compressed so that the center console body 2 can be moved to the opening 102.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a smart sofa, which includes the aforementioned central control panel and a sofa body 6, with a support structure 1 disposed on the armrest of the sofa body 6.

[0038] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
