Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a comfortable lounge chair. Background Technology

[0002] As people's quality of life improves, the functionality and comfort of lounge chairs, as commonly used furniture for outdoor or indoor rest, are receiving increasing attention. In existing technology, some lounge chairs incorporate footrests to enhance user comfort and meet the needs of users who wish to place their legs while resting.

[0003] However, the adjustment mechanism of this type of footrest has significant limitations: it can typically only move linearly along the seat depth direction, extending out from the front of the seat or retracting under the seat, but it cannot adjust the height of the footrest. Because different users have different heights and leg lengths, a fixed-height footrest is difficult to adapt to diverse usage needs. For example, users with shorter legs may not be able to place their legs naturally because the footrest is too high, while users with longer legs may have their legs dangling because the footrest is too low, thus reducing resting comfort and practicality.

[0004] Meanwhile, the seat area of ​​existing lounge chairs is usually designed primarily to meet the needs of human comfort, leaving very limited space for placing items. When users are sitting on the seat, if their bags, mobile phones, books, and other personal belongings are placed on the seat surface, they will take up sitting space, restricting physical movement and reducing the comfort of the chair. If they choose to place their items in the surrounding environment, they may forget them when they leave temporarily, resulting in the risk of loss.

[0005] In summary, existing lounge chairs have significant shortcomings in terms of height adjustment of the footrest structure and convenience of placing items, making it difficult to meet both the user's need for comfortable rest and the need for safe placement of personal belongings, and further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a comfortable lounge chair that solves the technical problem mentioned in the background art: existing lounge chairs have significant deficiencies in the height adjustment function of the footrest structure and the convenience of placing items, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the user's needs for comfortable rest and the need for safe placement of personal belongings.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A comfortable lounge chair includes a seat, a lifting rod located at the bottom of the seat, a mounting cylinder rotatably connected to the fixed end of the lifting rod, an operating block fixed to the outer side of the mounting cylinder, a first movable block that can move vertically connected inside the operating block, a telescopic rod fixed to the side of the first movable block away from the operating block, the telescopic rod extending in the direction of the seat depth parallel to the seat depth direction, a support block fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod, and a rotating shaft rotatably connected to both sides of the support block, the axis of the rotating shaft being parallel to the seat width direction of the seat, a shelf fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft, and a locking element connected to the support block to prevent the shelf from rotating.

[0009] Working principle:

[0010] In use, extend the telescopic rod so that the shelf extends beyond the edge of the seat, and adjust the orientation of the shelf by rotating the mounting cylinder; adjust the height of the shelf by vertically moving the first moving block. Then, place your feet on the two shelves and adjust the rotation of the shelves using the pivot. When you need to convert the shelf to carry items, use the locking mechanism to lock the shelf horizontally and prevent it from rotating.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The height of the shelf can be adjusted by vertically moving the first moving block, and the orientation of the shelf can be adjusted by rotating the mounting cylinder. At the same time, the rotation of the shelf can be flexibly changed by using the pivot. This design breaks through the limitation of the existing lounge chair footrest structure, which can only extend and retract along the seat depth direction. It can adapt to the footrest needs of users with different heights and leg lengths, ensuring that the user's legs can be placed naturally, and significantly improving the comfort when resting.

[0013] 2. The storage shelf can be adjusted by rotating to match the angle of the footrest, serving as a footrest structure; it can also be locked in a horizontal position using locking mechanisms, transforming into a functional area for holding bags, mobile phones, books, and other personal items. This dual-purpose "footrest + storage" design eliminates the need for additional separate footrest structures and storage components. Without increasing the overall size of the lounge chair, it effectively solves the problems of limited seat area and inconvenient item placement in existing lounge chairs, greatly improving space utilization efficiency.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] Example:

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a comfortable lounge chair includes a seat 1 and a lifting rod 2 located at the bottom of the seat 1. (The lifting rod 2 is a pneumatic rod, the cylinder of which is filled with nitrogen at 1-2 atmospheres and sealed with a sealing ring. The piston rod inside the cylinder can move up and down under pressure, cooperating with the seat adjustment handle (i.e., locking device) (the locking device of the pneumatic rod is linked with the existing lounge chair adjustment handle) to realize the lifting function of the chair. It should be noted that the setting of the lifting rod 2 in this solution is existing technology, and those skilled in the art should be clear about its structure, principle and usage, etc., which will not be described in detail here.) The fixed end of the lifting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting cylinder 3 through a bearing. The mounting cylinder 3 can rotate circumferentially around the fixed end of the lifting rod 2, thereby adjusting the orientation of the subsequent connecting parts. It should be noted that the method of rotation through a bearing is existing technology, and those skilled in the art should be clear about its structure, principle, etc., which will not be elaborated here. An operating block 4 (specifically welded) is fixed to the outer side of the mounting cylinder 3. A first movable block 5, capable of vertical movement, is connected inside the operating block 4. The vertical movement of the first movable block 5 allows for height adjustment of related components. A telescopic rod 6 (specifically welded) is fixed to the side of the first movable block 5 away from the operating block 4. The telescopic direction of the telescopic rod 6 is parallel to the seat depth direction of the seat plate 1. The telescopic distance between its telescopic end and the mounting cylinder 3 can be changed by extending or retracting the telescopic rod 6. A support block 7 (specifically welded) is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 6. A rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to both sides of the support block 7 via bearings. The axial direction of the rotating shaft 8 is parallel to the seat width direction of the seat plate 1. A placement plate 9 (specifically welded) is fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 8, allowing the placement plate 9 to rotate around the rotating shaft 8 to adjust its angle. A locking element is connected to the support block 7 to prevent the placement plate 9 from rotating.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, the operating block 4 has a first sliding groove 10 on its side away from the mounting cylinder 3. A motor 11 (specifically bolted) is fixed to the top of the operating block 4. The output end of the motor 11 is connected to a vertical transmission shaft 12. The end of the transmission shaft 12 passes through the top of the operating block 4 and is rotatably positioned within the first sliding groove 10. Bearings are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rod segment connecting the transmission shaft 12 and the operating block 4. The transmission shaft 12 is a threaded rod. The first moving block 5 is threadedly connected to the transmission shaft 12, and the side wall of the first moving block 5 abuts against the inner wall of the first sliding groove 10. When the motor 11 starts, the transmission shaft 12 rotates. Since the first moving block 5 is limited by the first sliding groove 10 and cannot rotate with the transmission shaft 12, the first moving block 5 moves vertically along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 12. This automated adjustment method is more convenient and labor-saving.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the locking mechanism includes two locking rods 13. Each of the two rotating shafts 8, located inside the support block 7, has a through hole 14. The through hole 14 is axially perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 8. The end face of the support block 7 away from the telescopic rod 6 has two insertion slots 15. When each locking rod 13 passes through the corresponding insertion slot 15 and through hole 14, the locking rod 13 limits the corresponding rotating shaft 8, preventing it from rotating. This plug-in locking structure is simple, reliable, and easy to operate, enabling rapid fixation of the shelf 9.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, one section of the locking rod 13 has continuous protrusions distributed along a spiral line on its outer periphery; the inner walls of the two insertion slots 15 have recesses that match the protrusions of the locking rod 13, and the two can be connected by a spiral structure. The spiral connection makes the connection between the locking rod 13 and the insertion slot 15 tighter, preventing the locking rod 13 from accidentally falling off during use and improving the reliability of locking.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side of the shelf 9 is provided with a second sliding groove 16, and an auxiliary plate 17 that can slide out of the second sliding groove 16 is provided inside the second sliding groove 16. The sliding direction of the auxiliary plate 17 is parallel to the sitting depth direction of the seat plate 1. The auxiliary plate 17 can flexibly expand the storage area according to the size of the items, making it more practical.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a second moving block 18 is slidably disposed within the second groove 16 of the shelf 9. The auxiliary plate 17 is rotatably connected to the second moving block 18 (specifically, it is hinged; it should be noted that the method of rotation via hinge is existing technology, and those skilled in the art should be aware of its structure, principle, and usage, etc., which will not be described in detail here). It also includes a bolt 19. When the auxiliary plate 17 moves out of the shelf 9 with the second moving block 18 and rotates upwards by 90°, the bolt 19 rotates through the auxiliary plate 17 and the side wall of the shelf 9. The bolt 19 is threadedly connected to the auxiliary plate 17 and the side wall of the shelf 9, and is used to lock the auxiliary plate 17 after it has rotated 90°. At this time, the auxiliary plate 17 can be used as a side baffle to prevent items placed on the shelf 9 from slipping off, further improving the safety of the storage.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] When the user needs to use the footrest function, firstly, the telescopic rod 6 is extended along the seat depth direction of the seat plate 1, causing the support block 7 and the two side shelves 9 to extend synchronously out of the edge of the seat plate 1. At this time, the mounting cylinder 3 rotates around the fixed end of the lifting rod 2 via the bearing, driving the operating block 4, the telescopic rod 6, and the shelf 9 to rotate as a whole until the shelf 9 faces the direction suitable for the user's footrest. Subsequently, the motor 11 on the top of the operating block 4 is activated, and the output end of the motor 11 drives the vertical transmission shaft 12 to rotate. The first moving block 5 moves vertically along the axis of the transmission shaft 12, and through the telescopic rod 6 and the support block 7, it drives the shelf 9 to adjust to a height suitable for the user's legs. After the user places their feet on the two shelf 9s, they can rotate the shelf 9s via the pivot 8 until a comfortable footrest angle is found.

[0027] When the shelf 9 needs to be converted to carry items, first rotate the shelf 9 to a horizontal position using the pivot 8. Then, take out the locking rod 13 from the locking mechanism, align it with the insertion slot 15 on the end face of the support block 7 away from the telescopic rod 6, rotate the locking rod 13 so that it passes through the insertion slot 15 first, and then inserts it into the through hole 14 on the rod section of the pivot 8 located inside the support block 7, until the protrusion and the recess are fully engaged. At this time, the locking rod 13 forms a rigid limit on the pivot 8, preventing it from rotating and ensuring that the shelf 9 remains stable and horizontal, so that bags, mobile phones and other personal items can be safely placed.

[0028] If the item is large, the auxiliary plate 17 in the second groove 16 on the side of the shelf 9 can be slid out along the depth of the seat plate 1 to expand the storage area and meet the placement requirements. When it is necessary to further prevent the item from slipping, push the second moving block 18 to move the auxiliary plate 17 completely out of the shelf 9, then rotate the auxiliary plate 17 upward by 90° around the second moving block 18 to make it vertical, and then rotate the bolt 19 through the auxiliary plate 17 and the side wall of the shelf 9. The bolt 19 is locked by its threaded connection with the two. At this time, the auxiliary plate 17 acts as a side baffle, which can effectively prevent the item from slipping off the edge of the shelf 9.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
