While providing a comfortable sitting and lying experience, it integrates electronic technology, sensors, software and network connectivity to realize a variety of intelligent functions, aiming to improve comfort, convenience, health and entertainment experience.
[0003] Most existing smart sofas come with leg rests, which are controlled by a central control panel to adjust the angle between the sofa back and the leg rest. However, when the leg rest is fully extended, it is suspended in the air, and the stress point is located entirely at the hinge of the leg rest. In this state, the support effect of the leg rest is poor, and users need to avoid stepping on the leg rest. In order to reasonably improve this problem, this utility model proposes a leg rest structure and a smart sofa. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the technical problem that when the leg rest is fully extended, it is suspended in the air and the force point is located entirely at the hinge of the leg rest, that is, the support effect of the leg rest is poor in this state, and the user needs to avoid stepping on the leg rest. This utility model provides a leg rest structure and a smart sofa.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes a housing with an opening for loading and unloading, and the top of the housing has a sloping mechanism along its edge, which abuts and overlaps with the inner side of the leg support plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the inclined surface mechanism includes multiple inclined surfaces constructed on the box body, the multiple inclined surfaces are connected in sequence, and the included angle between adjacent inclined surfaces is equal.

[0024] 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.
[0025] like Figures 1-4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a leg support structure, including a seat plate 1, a leg support plate 2 hinged to the end of the seat plate 1, and a driving member for driving the leg support plate 2 to rotate along the hinge point. These are all prior art and will not be described in detail here. The structure also includes:
[0026] The bearing mechanism 3 has a seat plate 1 located on top of it, with the seat plate 1 lying flat on the bearing mechanism 3.
[0027] The opening 4 is constructed on the side of the supporting mechanism 3 that is close to the leg support plate 2. When the leg support plate 2 is not extended, the leg support plate 2 is perpendicular to the seat plate 1. In this state, the leg support plate 2 covers the opening 4. When the leg support plate 2 is fully extended, it rotates along the hinge point with the seat plate 1 to expose the opening 4.
[0028] The support mechanism 5 is slidably disposed within the opening 4. The bearing mechanism 3 is provided with a drive mechanism 6, which is specifically an electric push rod, used to drive the support mechanism 5 to extend out of the opening 4 to support the leg support plate 2.
[0029] When the leg support plate 2 is in the extended state, the supporting mechanism 5 can be driven to slide by the driving mechanism 6 and extend the opening 4 to support the suspended leg support plate 2, thereby improving the supporting capacity of the leg support plate 2 and making it less likely to be damaged when the user steps on it.
[0030] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in some embodiments, the support mechanism 5 includes a box 501 with a loading / unloading opening 502. A guide post 11 is constructed on the outside of the box 501, and it slides with the bearing mechanism 3 through the guide post 11. When the box 501 extends out of the opening 4, an object can be placed into the box 501 through the loading / unloading opening 502. A slope mechanism 503 is constructed along the edge of the top of the box 501 and abuts against the inner side of the leg support plate 2. When the leg support plate 2 is in the extended state, the box 501 extends out of the opening 4 and abuts against the inner side of the leg support plate 2 through the slope mechanism 503, thereby providing an additional support point for the leg support plate 2. This can distribute the force acting on the connection point of the leg support plate 2, thereby improving the support capacity of the leg support plate 2. Moreover, the structure of the box 501 can accommodate the object, thereby making rational use of space.
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the inclined surface mechanism 503 includes multiple inclined surfaces constructed on the box body 501. The multiple inclined surfaces are connected in sequence, and the included angle between adjacent inclined surfaces is equal. The multiple inclined surfaces correspond to the leg support plate 2 at different extension angles, so that when the leg support plate 2 is at different angles, one of the multiple inclined surfaces on the box body 501 is always in contact with its inner side and supports the leg support plate 2.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the lengths of multiple inclined surfaces decrease sequentially in the direction of the opening 4. That is, in the direction from the seat plate 1 to the leg support plate 2, the length of the first inclined surface is twice that of the second inclined surface, and the length of the second inclined surface is twice that of the third inclined surface. In other words, the inclined surface near the hinge point of the leg support plate 2 is longer, and the inclined surface away from the hinge point of the leg support plate 2 is shorter. The design of decreasing length is essentially to match the effective support arm requirements of the leg support plate 2 under different extension angles. At the same time, such a design can maximize the use of the top space of the box 501 and avoid ineffective space.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the access port 502 is located on the opposite side of the box body 501. The box body 501 is vertically hinged with a cabinet door 7. The hinge axis of the cabinet door 7 is close to the top of the access port 502. The cabinet door 7 is located inside the access port 502 and is outward-opening. An inlaid handle 12 is installed on the outside of the cabinet door 7 for closing the access port 502. Under normal conditions, the cabinet door 7 will close the access port 502 by gravity. When the box body 501 is under pressure, the vertical cabinet door 7 can also support the structure of the box body 501, making it less prone to deformation and damage.
[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, reinforcing ribs 8 are distributed at the connection between the inner surfaces of the housing 501. The design of the reinforcing ribs 8 can improve the structural strength of the housing 501, so that it will not deform or be damaged when subjected to greater pressure.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the opening 4 penetrates the bottom surface of the bearing mechanism 3, and the bottom of the box 501 is provided with multiple receiving grooves 9. Rollers 10 are rotatably installed in the receiving grooves 9, and the rollers 10 roll and overlap with the bottom surface. This design can reduce the frictional resistance when the box 501 slides, and can also distribute the force of the box 501 acting on the guide column 11 to the ground when the box 501 is under pressure, so that it is not easily damaged.
[0036] An embodiment of this utility model proposes an intelligent sofa, which includes the aforementioned leg support structure.
