Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sofa armrest technology, specifically a sofa armrest quick folding and positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the demand for small apartments, multi-functional spaces, and other living spaces has surged. Traditional fixed sofa armrests take up a lot of space and cannot meet the need for flexible space utilization. Therefore, the market demand for sofa armrests with folding functions is becoming increasingly urgent. However, existing folding sofa armrests mostly use multi-stage hinges and manual locking combinations, which have many parts and high assembly costs. Moreover, folding requires a step-by-step operation of unlocking, folding, and locking, resulting in a poor user experience. In addition, existing sofas cannot hold mobile phones, water cups, or other items on the armrests, and users need to get up from the coffee table to retrieve them, which is not comfortable. To solve the above problems, a quick folding and positioning device for sofa armrests is needed.
[0003] The existing sofa armrest quick folding and positioning device has the problem that it cannot stably hold items on the sofa armrest and is inconvenient to fold and position the sofa armrest. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sofa armrest quick folding and positioning device. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-folding and positioning device for sofa armrests, so as to solve the problems that existing sofa armrests cannot stably hold items on them and are inconvenient to fold and position.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sofa armrest quick-folding and positioning device, comprising a sofa seat, support plates installed on both outer walls of the sofa seat, armrests installed on both top sides of the sofa seat, a pivot installed at the bottom of the armrest, a limit spring installed on the inner wall of the armrest, a locking rod installed on the outer wall of the limit spring, a magnetic block installed at the top of the armrest, a positioning rod installed on the outer wall of the armrest, a rotating rod installed on the inner wall of the positioning rod, and a holding plate installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod.
[0006] Preferably, when the armrest is placed horizontally, its outer wall is in close contact with the support plate, and the armrest forms a rotating structure with the sofa seat through a pivot.
[0007] Preferably, the lever is telescopically connected to the armrest via a limiting spring, and the lever is engaged with the sofa seat.
[0008] Preferably, the serving tray forms a flipping structure through a rotating rod and a positioning rod, and the serving tray is symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the sofa seat as the center.
[0009] Preferably, the serving plate is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the handrail, and the serving plate is magnetically fixed to the handrail by a magnetic block.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. This utility model uses a support plate, armrest, pivot, limiting spring, and locking rod. The locking rod is pulled inward, and then the horizontal armrest is rotated around the pivot to stand upright. Then the locking rod is released, and the locking rod is pushed out by the elastic force of the limiting spring, so that the locking rod is locked and fixed to the sofa seat. This achieves quick folding and positioning of the armrest. The support plate provides support for the armrest when it is horizontal, preventing excessive folding and affecting its use.
[0012] 2. This utility model, through the setting of magnetic blocks, positioning rods, rotating rods, and a storage plate, allows the storage plate to be flipped by the rotating rod when the armrest is upright, making the storage plate fit against the top of the armrest. At this time, the storage plate is magnetically fixed to the armrest by the magnetic blocks. Snacks, drinks, mobile phones, and other items can then be placed on the storage plate. You can watch TV while using the items placed on it without having to get up to get them from the coffee table, making it more convenient and comfortable to use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4A quick-folding and positioning device for sofa armrests includes a sofa seat 1, with support plates 2 installed on both outer walls of the sofa seat 1, armrests 3 installed on the top of both sides of the sofa seat 1, a pivot 4 installed at the bottom of the armrest 3, a limit spring 5 installed on the inner wall of the armrest 3, and a locking rod 6 installed on the outer wall of the limit spring 5. When the armrest 3 is placed horizontally, the outer wall is tightly fitted with the support plate 2, and the armrest 3 forms a rotating structure with the sofa seat 1 through the pivot 4. The locking rod 6 forms a telescopic structure with the armrest 3 through the limit spring 5. Furthermore, the locking rod 6 is engaged with the sofa seat 1. Through the support plate 2, armrest 3, pivot 4, limit spring 5, and locking rod 6, the locking rod 6 is pulled inward, and then the horizontal armrest 3 is rotated around the pivot 4 to stand upright. Then the locking rod 6 is released, and the locking rod 6 is pushed out by the elastic force of the limit spring 5, so that the locking rod 6 is engaged and fixed with the sofa seat 1, thereby realizing the quick folding and positioning of the armrest 3. The support plate 2 is set so that the armrest 3 can be supported in the horizontal state, avoiding excessive folding and affecting the use.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 A quick-folding and positioning device for sofa armrests includes a magnet 7 mounted on the top of the armrest 3, a positioning rod 8 mounted on the outer wall of the armrest 3, a rotating rod 9 mounted on the inner wall of the positioning rod 8, and a tray 10 mounted on the outer wall of the rotating rod 9. The tray 10 forms a flipping structure with the positioning rod 8 via the rotating rod 9, and the tray 10 is symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the sofa seat 1. The tray 10 is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the armrest 3, and is magnetically fixed to the armrest 3 by the magnet 7. With the help of the magnetic block 7, positioning rod 8, rotating rod 9 and holding plate 10, when the armrest 3 is raised, the holding plate 10 is flipped by the rotating rod 9 and made to fit against the top of the armrest 3. At this time, the holding plate 10 is magnetically fixed to the armrest 3 by the magnetic block 7. Then, snacks, drinks, mobile phones and other items can be placed on the holding plate 10. You can watch TV and use the items placed on it at the same time without getting up to get them from the coffee table, making it more convenient and comfortable to use.
[0022] Working principle: In use, first pull the lever 6 inward, then rotate the horizontal armrest 3 around the pivot 4 to stand it upright, and then release the lever 6. The lever 6 is pushed out by the elastic force of the limiting spring 5, so that the lever 6 is locked and fixed to the sofa seat 1, thereby realizing the quick folding and positioning of the armrest 3. The support plate 2 is set to support the armrest 3 in the horizontal state, avoiding excessive folding and affecting use. Then, when the armrest 3 is upright, the serving plate 10 is flipped by the pivot 9 and the serving plate 10 is attached to the top of the armrest 3. At this time, the serving plate 10 is magnetically fixed to the armrest 3 by the magnet 7. Then, snacks, drinks, mobile phones and other items can be placed on the serving plate 10. You can watch TV and use the items placed on it at the same time without getting up to get them from the coffee table, making it more convenient and comfortable to use. This completes the use of the device. The contents not described in detail in this manual are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
