[0016] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", and "rear" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a sofa chair with rotatable armrests, including a sofa chair body 1 and armrest units 10 assembled on both sides of the sofa chair body 1; specifically, in this embodiment, the sofa chair body 1 is made of a frame and foam (specifically polystyrene foam in this embodiment), and is a single massage chair structure, which has a backrest 2 and fixed armrests 3 on both sides; the armrest units 10 on both sides are movable armrests, respectively assembled on the two fixed armrests 3.

[0020] Each of the armrest units 10 on both sides includes a fixed bracket 11, a fixing member 12, a rotating connector 13, a shaft 14, a hinge joint 15, and an armrest 16. The fixed bracket 11 is fixed to the main body 1 of the sofa chair to form a fixed mounting platform. The fixed bracket 11 is provided with a mounting hole 111, which is a vertically extending hole. The fixing member 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting hole 111. The first end of the shaft 14 is inserted into the mounting hole 11 and connected to the fixing member 12 through the rotating connector 13, so that the shaft 14 can rotate relative to the fixing member 12, that is, the shaft 14 can rotate within the mounting hole 111. The hinge joint 15 has a first arm 151 and a second arm 152 that are hinged to each other. The first arm 151 of the hinge joint 15 is fixedly connected to the second end of the shaft 14, and the armrest 16 is fixed to the second arm 152 of the hinge joint 15.

[0021] Thus, the armrest 16 can swing horizontally by rotating the shaft 14, and the armrest 16 is mounted on the shaft 14 via the hinge joint 15, allowing it to swing at a certain angle in the vertical direction for convenient operation. In the initial state, the armrest 16 faces forward and is attached to the surface of the fixed armrest 3. When in use, the armrest 16 can be flipped upward at a certain angle (at this time, the hinge joint 15 is in motion), causing the armrest 16 to detach from the sofa chair body 1. Then, it is flipped horizontally inward (inward refers to the direction towards the middle of the sofa chair body 1), at which time the shaft 14 rotates, causing the armrest 16 to extend inward. Then, the armrest 16 is lowered, that is, the armrest 16 swings downward until the armrest 16 is supported by the fixed bracket 11 or restricted by the hinge joint 15 and cannot continue to swing downward. In this way, it switches to the inward extension state, so that the user can place their hands on the armrest 16 for support. The use of hinge joint 15 allows the armrest 16 to swing up and down, preventing the armrest 16 from scratching and wearing down the outer skin of the sofa body 1.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotating connector 13 includes a first bolt 131, a nut 134, a first connecting piece 132, and a second connecting piece 133. Both the first connecting piece 132 and the second connecting piece 133 have connecting holes. The shank of the first bolt 131 passes through the connecting holes of the first connecting piece 132 and the second connecting piece 133 and is screwed and fixed to the nut 134. This restricts the first connecting piece 132 and the second connecting piece 133 between the nut of the first bolt 131 and the nut 134, allowing them to rotate relative to the first bolt 131. In other words, both the first connecting piece 132 and the second connecting piece 133 are freely rotatable. The first connecting piece 132 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 12, and the second connecting piece 133 is fixedly connected to the shaft 14; thus, reliable installation and rotatable configuration of the shaft 14 are achieved.

[0023] A washer 135 is also provided between the nut 134 and the second connecting piece 133. In this way, the rotation of the second connecting piece 133 will not affect the nut 134, keeping the nut 134 fixed, preventing the structure from loosening, and also avoiding mutual wear between the second connecting piece 133 and the nut 134.

[0024] The fixing member 12 has a clearance hole 122, and the first end of the shaft 14 has a clearance slot. The nut of the first bolt 131 is located in the clearance hole 122 of the fixing member 12, and the nut 134 is located in the clearance slot of the shaft 14. The first connecting piece 132 and the second connecting piece 133 are located between the fixing member 12 and the shaft 14; thus, the volume can be reduced.

[0025] Furthermore, the fastener 12 and the first connecting piece 132 are secured by a plurality of second bolts 136, and the shaft 14 and the second connecting piece 133 are secured by a plurality of third bolts; thus, reliable and stable assembly is achieved, and disassembly is possible. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing method of the fastener 12 and the first connecting piece 132, or the fixing method of the shaft 14 and the second connecting piece 133, is not limited to this, and other methods such as welding or riveting can also be used for fixing.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing member 12 is a snap-fit ​​fixing member, having two opposing elastic snaps 121. The fixing member 12 is fixedly fastened to the bottom of the mounting hole 111 by the two elastic snaps 121. In this embodiment, the bottom of the fixing bracket 11 has a slot that extends through the mounting hole 111, and the elastic snaps 121 of the fixing member are fastened into the slot to achieve fixation. With this configuration, during actual assembly, the fixing member 12, the rotating connector 13, and the shaft 14 can be assembled in advance, and then inserted into the mounting hole 111 of the fixing bracket 11. As it is inserted, the elastic snaps 121 of the fixing member 12 automatically snap into the slot at the bottom, achieving simple installation.

[0027] Furthermore, the second end of the shaft 14 has an upwardly protruding connecting plate 141, and the first arm 151 of the hinge joint 15 has a "U"-shaped opening. The connecting plate 141 of the shaft 14 is inserted into the "U"-shaped opening of the first arm 151 of the hinge joint 15 and locked by a fastener (a bolt in this embodiment). The structure is simple to connect and easy to operate.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixing bracket 11 is formed by splicing and fixing two opposing fixing pieces 112. The two fixing pieces 112 together form the mounting hole 111. The two fixing pieces 112 are respectively attached to the side surface of the sofa chair body 1. The first fixing piece 112 has an insertion post 113 that inserts into the sofa chair body 1. The insertion post 113 is provided with a screw hole and also includes a fourth bolt. The fourth bolt passes through the second fixing piece 112 and is screwed into the screw hole of the insertion post 113, thereby fixing the fixing bracket 11 to the sofa chair body 1. It can be assembled later and is easy to disassemble, repair and replace. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing bracket 11 can also be directly embedded into the sofa chair body 1, etc.

[0029] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
