Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric furniture technology, specifically relating to an electric furniture component with a movable rear cover. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional electric sofas, chairs, and other furniture are equipped with electronic components such as motor drivers and speakers. These components are usually located in the lower part of the furniture, such as in the internal cavity under the seat, which serves to enable operation, enhance the user's relaxation experience, and maintain aesthetics. To facilitate the installation and maintenance of electronic components, a fabric cover is installed at the cavity entrance, which is connected to the frame structure via Velcro or similar fasteners.

[0003] However, when the electric furniture component is adjusted between an upright and tilted position, the softer fabric cover will deform by stretching or loosening, causing the fabric cover to be torn off or stuck between the components of the fixed frame structure. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, an electric furniture component with a movable rear cover is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an electric furniture component with a movable rear cover according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, the electric furniture component 200 with a movable rear cover according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a base 202, at least one armrest 204 fixedly connected to the base 202, a seat 206 disposed above the base 202, a backrest 208 disposed above the base 202 and located behind the seat 206, and a cavity 210 defined within the rear wall portion of the base 202 of the electric furniture component 200 and located below the backrest 208. The cavity 210 is used to accommodate various electronic components, such as motor drivers or actuators, speakers, control boxes, power interfaces, and other components conventionally provided for the normal operation of the electric furniture component 200, providing a relaxing experience for the user. A support plate 212 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cavity 210 inlet for mounting various electric furniture component electronic components (not shown).

[0028] A rear cover plate 214 is mounted on the rear surface of the base 202. The lower edge of the rear cover plate 214 is pivotally mounted on the base 202. The rear cover plate 214 is separate from the backrest 208 and located below the backrest 208. Specifically, the lower edge of the rear cover plate 214 is pivotally connected to the rear edge of the support plate 212 via a pair of laterally spaced hinge mechanisms 216. Male fabric fasteners 218 are provided on the other three outer edges of the rear cover plate 214, and female fabric fasteners 220 matching the male fabric fasteners 218 are provided on the other three outer edges of the cavity 210 entrance of the furniture base 202. The male fabric fasteners 218 and female fabric fasteners 220 can be used for... Velcro fasteners are used to secure the rear cover 214 in its closed position, or to allow the rear cover 214 to be easily and conveniently moved to its open position when installation or maintenance is required, thereby enabling access to the cavity 210 where electronic components are mounted. For example, when the backrest 208 moves between its upright and tilted positions, the rear cover 214 does not interfere with or in any way impede any movement of the backrest 208. It should be noted that the opposite side of the support plate 212 has a notch 222 to allow power cables (not shown) to pass through, supplying power to various electronic components (also not shown) mounted on the support plate 212, and preventing the power cables from interfering with the opening and closing movement of the rear cover 214.

[0029] The backrest 208 is operably connected to the seat 206 via a first linkage assembly 224, therefore the backrest 208 and the seat 206 are two independent movable parts. More specifically, from Figure 3 As can be seen, when seat 206 is in its rearward position, backrest 208 will be in its upright position, at which point electric furniture component 200 is in the seated position; and from... Figure 4As can be seen, when the seat 206 is in its forward position, the backrest 208 will be in its fully tilted position. At this time, the electric furniture component 200 is also in its fully tilted position, including the fully extended state of a footrest assembly 226 operably connected to the seat 206 via a second linkage assembly 228. Furthermore, it should be noted that the electric furniture component 200 can also reach a television viewing position (not shown), in which the footrest assembly 226 moves to its extended position, but the seat 206 and backrest 208 remain in their rearward and upright positions, respectively. Since the rear cover 214 is completely separated from the backrest 208 and mounted on the rear wall of the base 202, the movement of the backrest 208 between the aforementioned upright and fully tilted positions does not interfere with the opening and closing movement and position of the rear cover 214; conversely, the opening and closing movement and position of the rear cover 214 do not interfere with the movement of the backrest 208 between the aforementioned upright and fully tilted positions.
