Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tourism facilities technology, and in particular to sleeper berths for tourist vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Special sleeper berths for tourist buses are facilities installed inside tourist buses to provide passengers with rest or sleep functions during long-distance travel. They combine the seating function of a seat with the sleeping function of a sleeper berth and usually feature adjustable angles, folding structures, seat belts, and storage space. They not only meet the safety requirements of tourist buses during operation but also enhance the comfort of passengers during long-distance travel, making them an important piece of equipment for upgrading the quality of tourist passenger transport services.

[0003] Traditional sleeper berths have a fixed structure and cannot be flexibly adjusted in size. When used by a single person, they waste space and result in narrow aisles. When multiple people are traveling together, they cannot meet the needs of sharing a ride and require additional space. They cannot cope with the ever-changing number of passengers in travel scenarios. In terms of angle adjustment, they generally adopt a fixed angle design and cannot adjust the tilt according to the needs of passengers. This forces passengers to adapt to a fixed posture when they are half-lying down to rest, leaning against the railing to enjoy the view, or using electronic devices at their desks. This can easily lead to back fatigue and make it difficult to obtain a comfortable experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems with sleeper berth adjustment, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sleeper berth for tourist vehicles, including a carriage, a lower sleeper berth fixedly installed near the corner of the carriage, an upper sleeper berth fixedly installed above the lower sleeper berth and attached to the inner wall of the carriage, and a ladder fixedly connected to the outer wall on the same side of the lower and upper sleepers; a movable berth rotatably connected to the top of the lower sleeper berth, a locking block engaged with the inner wall of the movable berth, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking block and inserted into the inner wall of the lower sleeper berth, a movable rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower sleeper berth, multiple driving gears fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable rod, driven gears meshing with the outer walls of the driving gears, rotating berths fixedly connected to both ends of the driven gears along their axial direction, and an adjustable berth rotatably connected to the top of the rotating berth and rotating synchronously with the movable berth.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the special sleeper berth for tourist vehicles of this utility model, the movable berth and the adjustable berth are fixedly connected to a magnetic block on the same side, and the lower berth and the rotating berth are fixedly connected to a magnetic piece at the end near the magnetic block. The bottom end of the movable berth is provided with a slot, the inner surface of the slot is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the locking block, and when the rotating rod is rotated to a specified angle position, the locking block engages with the slot. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model for a sleeper berth for tourist vehicles, the rotating rod consists of two L-shaped supports, one of which is located inside. The top of the lower berth has an insertion groove for mounting, which is coaxial with the slot. The top of the mounting groove also has a support groove. The other support of the rotating rod is located in the support groove. When the rotating rod rotates to a specified angle position, it can slide along the axial direction of the slot. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable berth near the magnet. A cylinder is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block. The two end faces of the cylinder are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower berth. A connecting block fills the gap between the movable berth and the adjustable berth.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the special sleeper berth for tourist vehicles of this utility model, the end face of the movable rod is fixedly connected to a rotating handle, the inner surface of the bottom end of the rotating berth is fixedly connected to a square block, the side of the lower berth near the bottom end of the rotating berth is slidably connected to a slider, the top end of the slider and the bottom end of the square block are rotatably connected to a moving rod, and the rotation directions of the movable berth and the adjustable berth are perpendicular to each other.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the special sleeper berth for tourist vehicles of this utility model, the lower berth is fixedly connected to the bottom of the carriage and the inner bottom of the carriage. The upper backrest is fixedly connected to the end of the carriage near the upper berth. A storage rack is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper backrest.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the special sleeper berth for tourist vehicles of this utility model, the top of the multiple ladder columns of the ladder is fixedly connected with rubber pads, and the lower backrest is fixedly connected to the end of the carriage near the lower sleeper berth.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] By pushing the rotating lever, the engagement with the movable berth can be quickly released. The movable berth rotates under the support of the cylinder, and the adjustable berth unfolds synchronously through the soft silicone connecting block. With the attraction and fixation of the magnetic block and magnetic sheet, the berth can be quickly expanded, and the usable area can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of passengers. When a single person is resting, it can be folded up to save space, and when multiple people are using it, it can be unfolded to increase the length of the berth, meeting the needs of different groups, such as adults, children, or traveling companions. This avoids the limitation of the single size of traditional fixed berths. On the other hand, the rotating handle drives the rotating berth and the adjustable berth to rotate through gear transmission. The soft silicone connecting block can adapt to changes in angle, and the cooperation of the moving rod and slider ensures a smooth adjustment process. The berth's tilt angle can be flexibly adjusted, and passengers can choose to lie flat, semi-recline, or other postures according to their own habits. Whether resting, enjoying the view, or using electronic devices, a comfortable angle can be found. It is suitable for people of different body types and usage habits, improving the applicability and comfort of the berth. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a special sleeper berth for a tourist vehicle, including a carriage 1. A lower sleeper berth 2 is fixedly installed near the corner of the carriage 1. An upper sleeper berth 7 is fixedly installed above the lower sleeper berth 2 and is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the carriage 1. A ladder 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall on the same side of the lower sleeper berth 2 and the upper sleeper berth 7. A movable berth 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the lower sleeper berth 2. A locking block 20 is engaged with the inner wall of the movable berth 11. A rotating rod 18, which is inserted into the inner wall of the lower sleeper berth 2, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower sleeper berth 2. A movable rod 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable rod 22. Multiple driving gears 23 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the driving gears 23. A driven gear 24 meshes with the outer wall of the driving gears 23. Rotating berths 15 are fixedly connected to both ends of the driven gears 24 along their axial direction. An adjusting berth 13, which rotates synchronously with the movable berth 11, is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating berth 15.

[0024] Magnetic blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the same side of the movable bunk 11 and the adjustable bunk 13. Magnet pieces 12 are fixedly connected to the lower bunk 2 and the rotating bunk 15 near the magnetic blocks 16. A slot 21 is opened at the bottom of the movable bunk 11. The inner surface of the slot 21 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the locking block 20. When the rotating rod 18 rotates to the specified angle position, the locking block 20 engages with the slot 21. A spring 19 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 18.

[0025] The rotating rod 18 consists of two support rods arranged in an "L" shape. One support rod is located inside 21. The top of the lower berth 2 has a mounting groove 26 that is inserted into 18. The mounting groove 26 and the slot 21 are coaxial. The top of the mounting groove 26 also has a support groove. The other support rod of the rotating rod 18 is located in the support groove. When the rotating rod 18 rotates to a specified angle position, the rotating rod 18 can slide along the axial direction of the slot 21. The bottom end of the movable berth 11 is fixedly connected to a fixing block near the magnet 12. A cylinder is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block. The two end faces of the cylinder are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower berth 2. The gap between the movable berth 11 and the adjustable berth 13 is filled with a connecting block 14.

[0026] During use, when it is necessary to unfold the movable bunk 11 and the adjustable bunk 13, the operator pushes the rotating rod 18, which drives the locking block 20 to rotate, so that the locking block 20 is aligned with the inner wall of the locking groove 21 at the bottom of the movable bunk 11. At this time, the spring 19, which was originally in a compressed state, is released and pushes the rotating rod 18 down, and the locking block 20 is disengaged from the locking groove 21, thus canceling the locking and fixing between the lower bunk 2 and the movable bunk 11.

[0027] Then, the movable bunk 11 is pushed to rotate around the cylinder on the inner wall of the fixed block. The movable bunk 11 drives the adjustable bunk 13 to rotate synchronously through multiple soft silicone connecting blocks 14 on the right side. As the rotation angle increases, the movable bunk 11 and the adjustable bunk 13 gradually unfold until the movable bunk 11 is in contact with the lower berth 2 and the adjustable bunk 13 is in contact with the rotating bunk 15. Since the magnetic blocks 16 on the same side of the movable bunk 11 and the adjustable bunk 13 have opposite polarities to the magnetic pieces 12 on the lower berth 2 and the rotating bunk 15, the two attract each other, realizing the stable unfolding of the movable bunk 11 and the adjustable bunk 13, which is convenient for passengers to use. Example

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: a rotating handle 17 is fixedly connected to the end face of the movable rod 22, a square block is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the bottom end of the rotating bed 15, a slider is slidably connected to the side of the lower bed 2 near the bottom end of the rotating bed 15, a moving rod 25 is rotatably connected between the top end of the slider and the bottom end of the square block, and the rotation directions of the movable bed 11 and the adjusting bed 13 are perpendicular to each other.

[0029] The bottom of the lower berth 2 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the carriage 1. The end of the carriage 1 near the upper berth 7 is fixedly connected to the upper backrest 3. The bottom of the upper backrest 3 is fixedly connected to the storage rack 5. The outer wall of the upper berth 7 is fixedly connected to the railing 8. The axial end face of the railing 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper berth 7.

[0030] Rubber pads 10 are fixedly connected to the top of multiple ladder columns of ladder 9, and a lower backrest 4 is fixedly connected to the end of carriage 1 near the lower berth 2.

[0031] During use, when it is necessary to adjust the angle of the rotating pavement 15 and the adjusting pavement 13, the operator turns the rotating handle 17, which drives the movable rod 22 to rotate. The multiple driving gears 23 on the outer wall of the movable rod 22 rotate accordingly. The driven gear 24 meshing with the driving gear 23 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating pavement 15 at both ends of the driven gear 24 to rotate.

[0032] When the rotating berth 15 rotates, the adjusting berth 13 rotates synchronously along the movable rod 22 via the connecting block 14. Since the connecting block 14 is made of soft silicone, it has a certain elasticity and deformation capability, which can adapt to the angle changes during the rotation process and avoid hard pulling between parts. At the same time, the square block at the bottom of the rotating berth 15 drives the moving rod 25 to move. The slider connected to the other end of the moving rod 25 slides along the lower berth 2. The movement of the slider assists the rotating berth 15 in adjusting the angle, ensuring a smooth and stable rotation process and meeting the passenger's needs for different angles.

[0033] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0034] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution 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 solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
