Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electric sofa beds, and specifically relates to a detachable electric folding sofa bed.

Background Art

[0002] A sofa bed refers to furniture that has both the functions of a sofa and a bed. In modern room layouts, simplicity is emphasized, and multifunctional furniture is increasingly becoming the choice of the public, and the sofa bed is one of them. In a compact room, a sofa bed is necessary to meet the accommodation needs of occasional guests.

[0003] Commercially available folding sofa beds are various folding sofa beds such as two-fold and three-fold. In the prior art, there are some that drive the folding of the sofa bed using a motor as a driving source. However, most of the current electric folding sofa beds directly drive a connecting rod or a support arm using a motor to fold the sofa bed. Such a direct drive method lacks stability when one side of the connecting rod or the support arm deteriorates or when the usage time is too long, resulting in a situation where the bed frame tilts. When the connecting rod or the support arm fails, it is cumbersome to replace the parts, and it becomes impossible to continue using without replacement or repair.

[0004] Chinese Patent Document CN214433158U discloses an electric folding sofa bed including a sofa base provided with an accommodation chamber inside, a bed frame that is housed in the accommodation chamber of the sofa base when folded and is in a bed state when opened, and a driving device for driving the bed frame to open and fold. In this utility model, an operation lever is used as a transmission part of the motor driving force, and the motor directly drives the operation lever. Therefore, the stability may decrease when the operation lever becomes old or is used for a long time.

This ensures that the bed frame on both sides can always operate in synchronous motion, significantly improving stability and preventing tilting of the bed frame.

[0016] (2) In the detachable electric folding sofa bed of the present invention, if the motor or electric slider fails, the electric slider or motor can be removed, and the reversing moment arm can be moved by manually driving the mechanical slider, thereby folding the sofa bed and avoiding a situation where it becomes unusable due to the failure of the electric slider or motor.

[0017] (3) In the detachable electric folding sofa bed of the present invention, the mechanical slider is provided with at least four bolt holes, and the electric slider is detachably fixed to the mechanical slider via two adjacent bolt holes, thereby enabling versatility of the left and right electric sliders. If the left electric slider malfunctions and there is no working left electric slider to replace it, the right electric slider and the mechanical slider at its upper end can be detachably fixed via two other adjacent bolt holes among the four bolt holes.
