[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 —3: A hinge drive mechanism for a shampoo chair includes a shampoo chair body and a basin 1 disposed at the head end of the shampoo chair body. The shampoo chair body is provided with a backrest 2, a seat cushion 3, and a foot pad 4 sequentially from head to tail. The backrest 2, seat cushion 3, and foot pad 4 are respectively provided with a backrest connecting rod 5, a seat cushion connecting rod 6, and a foot pad connecting rod 7 along their corresponding length directions on the inner back side surfaces. The head end of the backrest connecting rod 5 is hinged to the shampoo chair body, and the tail end of the backrest connecting rod 5 is hinged to the head of the seat cushion connecting rod 6. Furthermore, the tail end of the backrest link 5 is hinged to the head of the foot pad link 7 via the foot pad linkage 8, and the head end of the seat cushion link 6 is hinged to the main body of the shampoo chair via the seat cushion linkage 9. The tail end of the seat cushion link 6 is hinged to the head end of the foot pad link 7. A telescopic power source 10 is hinged between the main body of the shampoo chair and the seat cushion 3. The telescopic power source 10 drives the backrest 2, seat cushion 3 and foot pad 4 to unfold to form a reclining posture or retract to form a sitting posture.
[0015] The telescopic power source 10 is located between the main body of the shampoo chair and the seat cushion 3. Most of the human body weight is concentrated on the seat cushion 3. The telescopic power source 10 can effectively and directly act on the seat cushion 3 to generate a torque sufficient to drive the human body weight, thus having a high energy efficiency ratio.
[0016] This utility model has a simple structure, reasonable design and low cost. By using the specific hinge points between the links in the linkage mechanism, the backrest 2, seat cushion 3 and foot pad 4 can be driven to expand or contract synchronously by only one telescopic power source 10. Its overall transmission is stable and reliable, the number of parts is small, and the overall weight of the shampoo chair is greatly reduced.
[0017] Furthermore, by reasonably changing the hinge point positions between the linkage mechanisms, the fitting angles between the backrest 2 and the seat cushion 3, and between the seat cushion 3 and the foot pad 4, are optimized. The backrest linkage 5 includes a backrest support rod 11 fixed to the backrest 2, and a backrest tilting rod 12 whose middle part is fixed to the tail end of the backrest support rod 11. The upper end of the backrest tilting rod 12 is tilted towards the backrest support rod 11, and the lower end of the backrest tilting rod 12 is connected to the foot pad 4. The cushion linkage rod 8 is hinged to the footpad linkage rod 7. Simultaneously, the seat cushion linkage rod 6 includes a seat cushion support rod 13 fixed to the seat cushion 3, and a seat cushion tilting rod 14 whose middle part is fixed to the tail end of the seat cushion support rod 13. The upper end of the seat cushion tilting rod 14 is tilted towards the seat cushion support rod 13. The lower end of the seat cushion 3 support rod is hinged to the main body of the shampoo chair via the seat cushion linkage rod 9. The upper end of the backrest tilting rod 12 is hinged to the upper end of the seat cushion tilting rod 14. That is, by utilizing the opposite tilting directions of the backrest tilting rod 12 and the seat cushion tilting rod 14, the hinge point between the backrest 2 and the seat cushion 3 is reasonably raised and shortened, and the hinge transmission length between the footpad 4 and the bed frame is extended.
[0018] In this embodiment, the angle of inclination between the axis of the backrest support rod 11 and the axis of the backrest tilting rod 12 is 45°-65°, and the angle of inclination between the axis of the seat cushion support rod 13 and the axis of the seat cushion tilting rod 14 is 45°-65°. In this embodiment, the angle of inclination between the axis of the backrest support rod 11 and the axis of the backrest tilting rod 12 is 50°, the angle of inclination between the axis of the seat cushion support rod 13 and the axis of the seat cushion tilting rod 14 is 50°, and the length of the seat cushion tilting rod 14 is less than the length of the backrest tilting rod 12.
[0019] In order to improve the transmission stability of the hinge drive mechanism to the backrest 2, seat cushion 3 and foot pad 4, there are two of each of the backrest connecting rod 5, seat cushion connecting rod 6 and foot pad connecting rod 7, which are distributed in parallel on the left and right sides. A transverse support beam 15 is provided between the two seat cushion connecting rods 6 and located below the tail of the seat cushion 3. The telescopic end of the telescopic power source 10 is hinged to the middle of the transverse support beam 15.
[0020] Furthermore, the telescopic power source 10 is an electric telescopic push rod or a telescopic cylinder. In this embodiment, the telescopic power source 10 is an electric telescopic push rod.
[0021] In addition, to protect the hinge drive mechanism from external interference, the main body of the shampoo chair includes a cabinet 16 and a chair frame 17 from head to tail. The cabinet 16 supports and fixes the basin 1. The backrest 2, seat cushion linkage rod 9, and telescopic power source 10 are all hinged to the chair frame 17. The left baffle 18 and right baffle 19 are located on the left and right sides of the cabinet 16 and chair frame 17, respectively, and are fixed to the corresponding side walls of the cabinet 16 and chair frame 17 by fasteners. Furthermore, a foot pad limiting plate 20 is provided between the left baffle 18 and right baffle 19, located inside the foot pad 4. That is, when the telescopic power source 10 drives the backrest 2, seat cushion 3, and foot pad 4 to retract and form a sitting posture, the back side of the foot pad 4 abuts against the foot pad limiting plate 20.
[0022] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
