Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sofa technology, specifically to an adjustable sofa with a backrest that can slide back and forth. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve and their demands for home comfort continue to rise, sofas are no longer limited to their traditional function of sitting and resting. Their ergonomic design and multi-functional adjustability are receiving increasing attention. Especially in scenarios such as home theaters, relaxation, and home care for the elderly, users' personalized needs for adjusting the backrest angle, seat depth, and overall support of sofas are becoming increasingly prominent.
[0003] While some existing sofa structures feature adjustable backrests, they still have several shortcomings. First, most traditional adjustment mechanisms rely on complex linkage and latch systems, making operation cumbersome and requiring users to exert considerable force to switch positions, which is particularly unfriendly to the elderly or those with limited physical strength. Second, current designs often mechanically link the backrest sliding and reclining functions, limiting the degree of freedom of adjustment and preventing independent, precise control of the backrest's forward / backward position and tilt angle, thus affecting ergonomic flexibility. Furthermore, the adjustment mechanisms are mostly built into the sofa, occupying significant space and resulting in a bulky overall structure, which is detrimental to the modern pursuit of slim and modular designs in home furnishings. Therefore, it is necessary to design an adjustable sofa with a backrest that can slide forward and backward, addressing the shortcomings of existing sofa technology. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0022] An adjustable sofa with a backrest that can slide back and forth, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the sofa includes legs 1, a mounting frame 2, and armrest blocks 3. The mounting frame 2 serves as the load-bearing base of the sofa. Support legs 1 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the mounting frame 2. Armrest blocks 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the mounting frame 2. The sofa also includes seat cushions 4, a sliding frame 6, and backrest covers 11. Seat cushions 4 are mounted side-by-side on the top of the mounting frame 2. A sliding groove 5 is provided on the rear side of the top of the mounting frame 2. The sliding frame 6 is vertically slidably installed within the sliding groove 5 of the mounting frame 2. A through groove adapted to the sliding frame 6 is provided inside the seat cushion 4. A pulley 7 is installed at the bottom of the sliding frame 6. The pulley 7 and the sliding groove 5 of the mounting frame 2 are in rolling contact. The bottom of the slot 5 is provided with multiple slots 10 spaced apart. The sliding frame 6 is slidably connected with a rod 8. A first elastic element 9 is provided between the sliding frame 6 and the rod 8. Under the action of the first elastic element 9, the rod 8 is inserted into the slot 10 of the mounting frame 2. A cushion cover 11 is fitted on the upper part of the sliding frame 6. The cushion cover 11 is located above the seat cushion block 4. When it is necessary to slide and adjust the backrest of the sofa, the rod 8 in the sliding frame 6 is pulled upward against the elastic force of the first elastic element 9. After the rod 8 is disengaged from the slot 10 in the mounting frame 2, the cushion cover 11 on the sliding frame 6 can be slid and adjusted freely, thereby meeting the user's need for precise adjustment of the backrest position.
[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the mounting frame 2 is a modular splicing design. The mounting frame 2 can be continuously spliced side by side according to actual usage needs, so as to splice up sofa load-bearing bases of different lengths.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the mounting frame 2 has a mounting groove 12 at the splicing point. The mounting grooves 12 of two adjacent mounting frames 2 are slidably connected by a connecting frame 13. The connecting frame 13 is provided with a locking block that fits the mounting groove 12. The connecting frame 13 is used as a connector to make the mounting frames 2 stably spliced together.
[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a locking plate 14 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 13. The locking plate 14 is used to slide and engage the mounting groove 12 on the mounting frame 2. A second elastic element 15 is provided between the connecting frame 13 and the locking plate 14. When adjacent mounting frames 2 are connected through the connecting frame 13, simply place the connecting frame 13 between the two mounting frames 2 to be connected, and then press the mounting frame 2 inward against the connecting frame 13. This causes the locking plate 14 to compress the second elastic element 15 and engage with the mounting groove 12 of the mounting frame 2, thus achieving convenient splicing of the mounting frames 2.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a limiting plate 16 is provided at the top of the mounting frame 2 where the seat cushion block 4 is assembled. The limiting plate 16 is used to stably limit the seat cushion block 4 at the top of the mounting frame 2, thereby improving the stability and safety of the sofa during use.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the cushion cover 11 has an opening adapted to the insertion rod 8. A cover cloth 17 is provided at the top of the cushion cover 11 at the opening of the insertion rod 8. The cover cloth 17 is used to cover and protect the insertion rod 8, preventing dust from entering the insertion rod 8 inside the cushion cover 11, and improving the overall aesthetics of the sofa.
[0028] When the user is seated, the sofa backrest (cushion cover 11) is stably fixed to the mounting frame 2 via the sliding bracket 6 connected below it. The pulley 7 at the bottom of the sliding bracket 6 is embedded in the sliding groove 5 at the top of the mounting frame 2, providing support and sliding guidance. At this time, the insert rod 8 inside the sliding bracket 6 extends downward under the action of the spring (first elastic element 9) and is engaged in the slot 10 at the bottom of the sliding groove 5, firmly locking the backrest in the current position to ensure stable use. When it is necessary to adjust the backrest position forward or backward, the user needs to pull the insert rod 8 upward from the opening at the top of the cushion cover 11 (usually covered by a cover cloth 17) to overcome the spring force, causing the insert rod 8 to disengage from the slot 10 and unlock. Then, keeping the insert rod 8 in the raised state, the user can freely push and pull the backrest forward and backward along the direction of the sliding groove 5. The pulley 7 at the bottom of the sliding bracket 6 makes the movement smooth and easy. When the backrest is moved to the desired position, the plug rod 8 is released. The spring will push the plug rod 8 to fall automatically. When the sliding frame 6 moves to the slot 10 corresponding to the new position, the plug rod 8 will immediately lock into the slot 10 and relock the backrest. In addition, the sofa base (mounting frame 2) adopts a modular design and can be easily spliced and extended through the connecting frame 13. During operation, the connecting frame 13 is placed between two adjacent mounting frames 2 and the mounting frames 2 are pressed inward. The locking plate 14 on the connecting frame 13 will compress the internal spring (second elastic element 15) and slide. When aligned with the mounting slot 12, it will pop out under the action of the spring and lock into the slot to achieve a stable connection. Finally, the limiting plate 16 at the top of the mounting frame 2 ensures that the position of the seat cushion block 4 is fixed, improving the safety of use. The cover cloth 17 can effectively prevent dust from entering the area of the plug rod 8 and maintain the aesthetic appearance.
[0029] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the content described in the claims of the present utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
