Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric beds, and in particular to a headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electric bed technology, people's demand for electric beds is increasing. The functions of electric beds are also constantly being improved and developed.

[0003] In the current technology, the backrest and headrest of electric beds usually need to be equipped with independent control mechanisms for adjustment. This design architecture has obvious drawbacks: on the one hand, multiple control mechanisms complicate the overall structure and increase the risk of mechanical failure; on the other hand, the superposition of multiple independent control modules not only increases production costs but also makes product maintenance more difficult.

[0004] Therefore, designing a mechanism that links the head and back of the bed board is essential. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems with existing electric beds, this paper aims to provide a headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure. Through the cooperation of a drive mechanism and a linkage mechanism, the backrest and headrest can be adjusted. The structure is simple, reduces costs, and is easy to maintain.

[0006] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0007] A headrest backrest lifting linkage structure includes: a fixed frame and multiple bed boards installed on the fixed frame; it also includes: a linkage mechanism that enables the back bed board and the head bed board to be linked, and a drive mechanism that is connected to the linkage mechanism; the linkage mechanism is connected to the back bed board and the head bed board respectively; and the drive mechanism drives the linkage mechanism to adjust the back bed board and the head bed board.

[0008] The aforementioned headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure includes a linkage mechanism comprising a linkage component, a head drive rod, and a back drive rod connected to the linkage component. The head drive rod is connected to the headboard, the back drive rod is connected to the backboard, the linkage component is connected to the backboard, and the drive mechanism is connected to the linkage component for transmission. The backboard and headboard are adjusted via the head drive rod and the back drive rod.

[0009] In the aforementioned headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure, the linkage component is provided with at least one sliding groove, and the backrest transmission rod slides in cooperation with the sliding groove.

[0010] The aforementioned headrest backrest lifting linkage structure includes, wherein the linkage component comprises: two linkage plates arranged in parallel, the drive mechanism and the head transmission rod extending between the two linkage plates and hinged to the two linkage plates;

[0011] Both linkage plates are provided with the aforementioned sliding grooves, and the back transmission rod slides in conjunction with the two sliding grooves via a sliding shaft.

[0012] In the aforementioned headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure, the hinge points of the drive mechanism and the linkage component, the hinge points of the head transmission rod and the linkage component, the slide groove, and the hinge points of the backrest and the linkage component are sequentially distributed along a first direction, which is an arc-shaped direction.

[0013] In the aforementioned headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure, a head support is installed on the headboard, and the head support is hinged to the head transmission rod.

[0014] The backrest board is equipped with a first backrest support and a second backrest support. The first backrest support is hinged to the backrest transmission rod, and the second backrest support is hinged to the linkage component.

[0015] The aforementioned headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure further includes: a sliding frame slidably connected to the fixed frame, a lumbar bed board mounted on the sliding frame, a back bed board rotatably connected to the lumbar bed board, and a headboard rotatably connected to the back bed board.

[0016] In the aforementioned headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure, at least one support rod is installed on the fixed frame, and the two ends of the support rod are respectively hinged to the head and back bed boards of the fixed frame.

[0017] In the aforementioned headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure, a lumbar support adjustment mechanism is installed on the sliding frame, and the lumbar bed board has an opening for the lumbar support adjustment mechanism to extend out.

[0018] The lumbar support adjustment mechanism includes: a lumbar support drive, a linkage assembly, and a lumbar support. The lumbar support drive is kinetically connected to the linkage assembly so that the lumbar support extends out of the opening.

[0019] In the aforementioned headrest and backrest lifting linkage structure, the tail of the fixed frame is provided with one or more guide brackets, and the bottom of the footboard is provided with one or more rollers. When the bed board returns to its original position, the rollers roll onto the guide brackets to guide or support the footboard.

[0020] The positive effects of the above technical solution compared with the existing technology are:

[0021] This utility model, through the cooperation of a drive mechanism and a linkage mechanism, can adjust the backrest and headrest of the bed. It has a simple structure, reduces costs, and is easy to maintain.

[0022] This utility model features a sliding frame and support rod. When the drive mechanism drives the linkage mechanism, the overall bed board, and the sliding frame to move towards the head of the fixed frame, the drive mechanism first drives the head transmission rod to adjust the head bed board. The sliding shaft slides to the other end of the slide groove, and the back bed board and the sliding frame adjust simultaneously. That is, while the back bed board rotates, the sliding frame slides horizontally, enabling the overall bed board to be adjusted against the wall and the angle of the back bed board and the head bed board to be adjusted. The structure is reasonable, and the use of the same set of drive mechanism and linkage mechanism reduces costs and facilitates maintenance. Attached Figure Description
