Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, specifically to a sofa with a visible internal support structure. Background Technology
[0002] A sofa is a common type of furniture, mainly used for sitting and resting. It is usually composed of a frame, filling, and fabric, and is widely used in various places such as homes, offices, and commercial spaces. The sofa frame is the basic supporting part, generally made of sturdy materials such as wood and metal. Like the skeleton of the human body, it determines the overall shape and load-bearing capacity of the sofa. The filling affects the comfort of the sofa, and common fillings include sponge, down, and latex. The multi-layer sponge structure used in the patent takes into account both support and comfort. The fabric is the "outer garment" of the sofa, including leather and cloth, which not only serves an aesthetic purpose but also affects the feel and durability.
[0003] However, existing sofas with supporting structures still have some problems:
[0004] For example, a sofa support structure with application number CN201822184807.1 includes a frame support structure and a panel support structure, wherein the panel support structure is located inside the frame structure and is rigidly connected to the frame support structure.
[0005] The existing sofas with support structures mostly adopt a closed design for their internal support frame. Users cannot directly observe the internal materials and workmanship, which can easily lead to a lack of trust in the product's durability and environmental friendliness. It is also difficult to detect potential structural deformation or loosening caused by long-term use. Moreover, the closed structure makes the internal assembly process complicated, and it needs to be disassembled into a large number of parts during transportation, which increases logistics costs and installation difficulty for users.
[0006] Therefore, we propose a sofa with a visible internal support structure to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sofa with a visible internal support structure, in order to solve the problem that the internal support frame of sofas with support structures mentioned in the background art is mostly closed, which makes it impossible for users to intuitively observe the internal materials and workmanship, which easily leads to a lack of trust in the durability and environmental protection of the product, and makes it difficult to detect the potential structural deformation or loosening caused by long-term use. Moreover, the closed structure makes the internal assembly process cumbersome, and it needs to be disassembled into a large number of parts during transportation, which increases logistics costs and installation difficulty for users.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sofa with a visible internal support structure, comprising a bottom frame and an integrated back panel.
[0009] An integrated back panel is provided on the top of the bottom frame, and a sofa cushion is embedded in the middle of the integrated back panel. Four sets of lifting legs are installed at the bottom corners of the bottom frame, and rubber pads are bolted to the bottom ends of the four sets of lifting legs. Three sets of transverse support beams are provided inside the bottom frame, and four sets of longitudinal support beams are snapped into the middle of the three sets of transverse support beams. Protruding rods are integrated at both ends of the three sets of transverse support beams. Grooves corresponding to the protruding rods are opened on the inner side wall of the bottom frame. Positioning holes are opened on the upper end face of the bottom frame, and pins corresponding to the positioning holes are installed at the bottom of the integrated back panel.
[0010] Using the above technical solution, the sofa achieves efficient assembly through a modular snap-fit structure of the bottom frame and integrated back panel. The internal transverse and longitudinal support beams interlock to form a visible grid support system, which combines mechanical strength and process transparency. Four sets of lifting legs can adjust the height and balance of the sofa, and rubber pads enhance the anti-slip and shock absorption effect. While meeting the load-bearing requirements, it also achieves convenient disassembly and assembly and functional flexibility.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom frame is made of a transparent, visible structure made of PC material.
[0012] The above technical solution uses PC material for the bottom frame, and the transparent design directly exposes the internal support structure. By utilizing the high light transmittance and impact resistance of PC material, the structure is visualized while ensuring load-bearing capacity. Users can intuitively observe the material, connection process and stress state of the internal support beams, which enhances product trust. The transparent frame also has an aesthetic display function, which is in line with the demand for industrial design in modern homes, and at the same time, it is convenient to quickly check the structural integrity during daily cleaning and maintenance.
[0013] Preferably, the sofa cushion has a double-layer structure, with the upper layer being a leather structure filled with memory foam and the lower layer being a high-strength bamboo fiberboard structure.
[0014] Using the above technical solution, the sofa cushion adopts a double-layer composite structure. The upper layer uses memory foam as the core filling material, covered with leather to enhance durability and tactile comfort. The lower layer provides rigid support through high-strength bamboo fiberboard. Utilizing the bending strength and breathability of bamboo fiber, a mechanical system that combines flexibility and rigidity is formed. The memory foam layer disperses body pressure through its slow rebound characteristics, conforming to the sitting posture curve and relieving fatigue from prolonged sitting. The bamboo fiberboard layer provides stable support, preventing the cushion from collapsing and deforming, while its breathability accelerates moisture removal, avoiding stuffiness. The double-layer structure balances comfort and durability, extending the lifespan of the cushion and enhancing the user's intuitive perception of material quality.
[0015] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the three sets of transverse support beams are provided with four sets of first locking grooves, and the outer surfaces of the four sets of longitudinal support beams are provided with three sets of second locking grooves.
[0016] Using the above technical solution, the transverse support beam and the longitudinal support beam form a cross-fitting structure through the first and second snap-fit grooves opened on the surface. The groove limit is used to achieve boltless fixation, reduce the visual interference of the connectors on the transparent frame, enhance the cross stability of the support beams, distribute the force and suppress structural deformation. At the same time, the exposed snap-fit process enhances the visual design and intuitively shows the mechanical logic and material texture of the internal support system.
[0017] Preferably, the first locking groove of the transverse support beam and the second locking groove of the longitudinal support beam are connected by mortise and tenon joints.
[0018] Using the above technical solution, the first locking groove of the transverse support beam and the second locking groove of the longitudinal support beam are engaged by mortise and tenon structure. The precise matching of the grooves achieves vertical cross-fixation, which can transfer load without additional fasteners, enhance the shear resistance and overall rigidity of the support system, and suppress frame deformation. At the same time, the exposed mortise and tenon structure enhances the visual design, intuitively presents the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern materials, and improves the product's craftsmanship value and structural transparency.
[0019] Preferably, the protruding rod is an isosceles trapezoidal structure, and the groove is adapted to the protruding rod and is correspondingly engaged.
[0020] The above technical solution employs an isosceles trapezoidal structure design for the protruding rod. The protruding rod and the groove on the inner sidewall of the bottom frame form a wedge-shaped engagement. Utilizing the inclined plane self-locking principle, it automatically locks under lateral force, enabling tool-free rapid assembly. The matching structure of the trapezoidal protruding rod and the groove enhances the lateral displacement resistance of the transverse support beam, improving the overall stability of the frame. At the same time, the seamless design at the engagement point reduces dust accumulation, meets the visualization requirements of the transparent frame, and balances structural strength with ease of cleaning and maintenance.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. The bottom frame features a transparent design made of PC material, which not only visually showcases the internal support structure, enhancing the product's craftsmanship and aesthetic value, but also utilizes the high strength and impact resistance of PC material to ensure structural stability and durability. The wedge-shaped interlocking design of the isosceles trapezoidal convex rods and grooves enhances the lateral displacement resistance of the transverse support beams through a self-locking principle. Combined with the mortise and tenon connections between the transverse and longitudinal support beams, a cross-grid support system is formed, effectively distributing stress and suppressing deformation, extending the sofa's lifespan. The combination of four sets of adjustable legs and rubber pads enables height adjustment and anti-slip shock absorption functions, further extending the sofa's lifespan. The overall design balances mechanical stability, functional flexibility, and visual appeal, meeting the dual demands of modern homes for quality and aesthetics, and improving product usability.
[0023] 2. The integrated back panel and bottom frame are precisely engaged with pins and positioning holes, enabling modular and rapid assembly, facilitating transportation and maintenance. The sofa cushions feature a double-layer structure: the upper layer, filled with memory foam and leather, conforms to the human body's curves, providing a comfortable feel and pressure distribution; the lower layer, made of high-strength bamboo fiberboard, enhances support and improves breathability, preventing stuffiness. The overall design balances mechanical stability, functional flexibility, and visual transparency, satisfying the dual demands of modern homes for quality and aesthetics while enhancing user trust in materials and craftsmanship through a visible structure, thus increasing product added value.

The outer surfaces of the three sets of transverse support beams 6 are provided with four sets of first locking grooves 7, and the outer surfaces of the four sets of longitudinal support beams 8 are provided with three sets of second locking grooves 9. The first locking grooves 7 of the transverse support beams 6 and the second locking grooves 9 of the longitudinal support beams 8 are connected by tenon and mortise joints. The protruding rod 10 has an isosceles trapezoidal structure, and the groove 11 is adapted to the protruding rod 10 and is correspondingly locked in place.
[0032] The bottom frame 1 is made of transparent PC material, utilizing its high light transmittance and impact resistance to visually expose the internal structure while ensuring load-bearing capacity, thus enhancing the transparency of the craftsmanship and aesthetic value. The bottom frame 1 is adjusted for height and balance via four sets of lifting legs 4, and the rubber pads 5 at the bottom enhance anti-slip and shock absorption performance, ensuring the stability of the sofa during use.
