DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description relates to the drawings, in which the same or similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals unless otherwise indicated.

[0050] When a person lies on the sofa, the upper body and the upper leg are about 128 degrees apart, and the upper leg and the lower leg are about 133 degrees apart. The zero-gravity sofa mainly comprises a seat frame, a backrest assembly connected to the rear side of the seat frame, a leg support (leg assembly) connected to the front side of the seat frame, and a driving member connected to the seat frame for driving the backrest assembly and the leg assembly to move. During the process of changing into a zero-gravity lying position, the seat frame moves forward and its front end is tilted upward, the backrest assembly can be flipped backward and downward relative to the seat frame, and the leg assembly can be flipped forward and upward relative to the seat frame and unfolded, and the unfolding process is that the footrest inside the leg assembly for supporting the user's lower leg moves away from the seat frame. Among them, a leg connecting rod for rotating connection on the seat frame is arranged in the leg assembly, and the driving member applies force to the leg connecting rod, thereby driving the leg assembly to unfold or fold; in the early stage of the process of changing into a zero-gravity lying position, the driving member applies a pushing force to the leg connecting rod, and the angle between the direction of the pushing force and the instantaneous rotation direction of the leg connecting rod is small, so that the driving member can push the leg assembly to unfold with less effort; in the later stage of the process of changing into a zero-gravity lying position, the driving member applies a pushing force to the leg connecting rod, and the angle between the direction of the pushing force and the instantaneous rotation direction of the leg connecting rod is large, so that the driving member needs to push the leg assembly to unfold with more effort. In the later stage of the process of changing into a zero-gravity lying position, the driving member also needs to output a larger force to overcome the gravity of the seat frame.

[0051] In order to reasonably allocate the power output of the driving member during the entire movement process and improve the problem of excessive load of the driving member in the later stage of movement, the application discloses a zero-gravity sofa structure.

[0052] Embodiment A, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a base 1, a seat frame 2 slidingly arranged on the base 1, a leg support 4 connected to the seat frame 2, and a driving member 5 for driving the seat frame 2 to move relative to the base 1 and / or driving the leg support 4 to move relative to the seat frame 2. The base 1 is arranged horizontally and is a frame structure, and the seat frame 2 is arranged in a rectangular frame and is arranged above the base 1 and can move relative to the base 1, thereby converting the state.

[0053] In the embodiment, at least two states are included, which are initial state and zero-gravity state respectively. The front side of the sofa is regarded as the front direction. The initial state is the state before the conversion is started. The zero-gravity state is that the leg frame is flipped and unfolded forward, and the seat frame is moved forward and the front end is tilted upward compared with the rear end. Finally, when the user lies on the sofa of the embodiment, the height of the user's leg and knee can be substantially equal to the height of the heart, and the blood circulation of the human body can be relatively smooth. Of course, in other embodiments, the present scheme can not be limited to only including two states, and can also be the three states of the functional sofa more common: sitting posture, TV posture and lying posture. The lying posture is the zero-gravity state. The TV posture is between the sitting posture and the lying posture, that is, the leg frame is unfolded, and the backrest is not unfolded or unfolded at a small angle to realize that the user watches TV on the sofa. It can also include four or more states.

[0054] The movement process of the seat frame 2 includes a first stage and a second stage. The driving force received by the leg frame 4 in the first stage is less than the driving force received by the leg frame 4 in the second stage. The driving force received by the seat frame 2 in the first stage is greater than the driving force received by the seat frame 2 in the second stage. Therefore, the present scheme can reasonably configure the power output of the driving member 5 in the entire movement process, and improve the problem of excessive load of the driving member 5 in the later movement.

[0055] The driving force received by the seat frame 2 in the first stage is greater than the driving force received by the seat frame 2 in the second stage.

[0056] A set of tracks is arranged on the left and right side walls of the base 1, and each set of tracks includes a first track 11 and a second track 12. In the embodiment, the first track 11 is located in front of the second track 12. The first track 11 extends forward and upward, and the slope becomes smaller as it extends forward. The first track 11 includes a first part 111 and a second part 112. The slope of the line connecting the two ends of the first part 111 is greater than the slope of the line connecting the two ends of the second part 112. The second track 12 is arranged horizontally.

[0057] A set of moving members 21 is arranged on the left and right side walls of the seat frame 2, and each set of moving members 21 includes two moving members 21 connected to the first track 11 and the second track 12 respectively. Under the cooperation of the moving members 21 and the tracks, the seat frame 2 can move along a specific track. In the embodiment, the moving members 21 can be selected as rollers rotatably connected to the seat frame 2. In other embodiments, the moving members 21 can also be selected as sliding blocks fixed to the seat frame 2 and resistant to wear.

[0058] The slope of the line connecting the first end and the last end of the movement of the moving part 21 in the first track 11 in the first stage is greater than the slope of the line connecting the first end and the last end of the movement of the moving part 21 in the first track 11 in the second stage. In the first stage, the front end of the seat frame 2 is raised to a greater extent than the rear end when the seat frame 2 moves forward by the same distance, that is, the seat frame 2 is raised more quickly in the first stage. In order to support the seat frame 2 to be raised more quickly, a greater force is required to support the seat frame 2 to overcome gravity in the first stage than in the second stage, so that the driving force acting on the seat frame 2 in the first stage is greater than the driving force acting on the seat frame 2 in the second stage.

[0059] In the present embodiment, the movement range of the moving part 21 in the first track 11 in the first stage is equal to the first part 111, and the movement range of the moving part 21 in the first track 11 in the second stage is equal to the second part 112. In other embodiments, the movement range of the moving part 21 in the first track 11 in the first stage can not be equal to the first part 111, and the movement range of the moving part 21 in the first track 11 in the second stage can not be equal to the second part 112, that is, the two sections of the first track 11 corresponding to the first stage and the second stage can not be a fixed value, as long as the driving force acting on the seat frame 2 in the first stage is greater than the driving force acting on the seat frame 2 in the second stage. In one example, as long as the slope of the line connecting the first end and the last end of the section of the first track 11 corresponding to the first stage is greater than the slope of the line connecting the first end and the last end of the section of the first track 11 corresponding to the second stage.

[0060] The specific force exertion mode of the driving part 5 will be described below.

[0061] The base 1 is connected with a linkage assembly 6, which is used to realize linkage between the seat frame 2 and the leg support 4. In the present embodiment, the driving part 5 can be an electric push rod, the tail end of which is rotatably connected to the rear frame of the seat frame 2, and the front end, that is, the output end, is rotatably connected to the linkage assembly 6. When the driving part 5 moves, it can directly drive the linkage assembly 6 to move, and indirectly drive the leg support 4 to move, and indirectly drive the seat frame 2 to move relative to the base 1.

[0062] The linkage assembly 6 comprises a first connecting part 61, a second connecting part 62, and a third connecting part 63. The second connecting part 62 is rotatably connected to the seat frame 2. The first connecting part 61 is provided with two connecting points, and the two connecting points of the first connecting part 61 are rotatably connected to the base 1 and the second connecting part 62, respectively. The third connecting part 63 is provided with two connecting points, and the two connecting points of the third connecting part 63 are rotatably connected to the leg support 4 and the second connecting part 62, respectively. The rotation point of the second connecting part 62 relative to the seat frame 2 is located between the connecting points of the first connecting part 61 and the second connecting part 62 and the connecting points of the third connecting part 63 and the second connecting part 62.

[0063] The linkage assembly 6 is provided with two groups, and is arranged on the left and right sides of the seat frame 2 respectively. The first driving rod 64 is arranged between the two groups of linkage assemblies 6, and the two ends of the first driving rod 64 are fixed on the second connecting pieces 62 of the two groups of linkage assemblies 6 respectively. The middle part of the first driving rod 64 is fixed with the first extension rod 65, and the output end of the driving member 5 is rotatably connected to the first extension rod 65, so as to drive the first driving rod 64 and the second connecting piece 62 to move.

[0064] When the output end of the driving member 5 is retracted, the second connecting piece 62 is driven to rotate clockwise (with reference to FIG. 1), and the second connecting piece 62 will apply a force to the first connecting piece 61. However, the first connecting piece 61 is connected to the base 1, and the first connecting piece 61 cannot be pushed backward, so that the force of the second connecting piece 62 is generated in the opposite direction, and the seat frame 2 connected to the second connecting piece 62 moves forward relative to the base 1.

[0065] The driving force on the leg support 4 in the first stage is less than the driving force on the leg support 4 in the second stage.

[0066] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the leg support 4 includes at least one main connecting piece rotatably connected to the seat frame 2. In this embodiment, two main connecting pieces are provided, which are a first leg connecting rod 41 and a second leg connecting rod 42. The upper ends of the first leg connecting rod 41 and the second leg connecting rod 42 are rotatably connected to the seat frame 2. The leg support 4 further includes a third leg connecting rod 43, a fourth leg connecting rod 46, and a leg bracket 44. One end of the third leg connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the first leg connecting rod 41, and the other end is rotatably connected to the leg bracket 44. One end of the fourth leg connecting rod 46 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the second leg connecting rod 42, and the other end is rotatably connected to the leg bracket 44. The swing of one of the main connecting pieces can drive the leg bracket 44 to move closer or farther away.

[0067] The end of the fourth leg connecting rod 46 away from the second leg connecting rod 42 is provided with an extension section, and the rotation point of the fourth leg connecting rod 46 and the leg bracket 44 is located between the extension section and the end of the second leg connecting rod 42 close to the second leg connecting rod 42. The leg support 4 further includes a fifth leg connecting rod 45 and a sixth leg connecting rod 47. One end of the sixth leg connecting rod 47 is rotatably connected to the end of the extension section, and the other end is fixed with a foot bracket 48. One end of the fifth leg connecting rod 45 is rotatably connected to the fifth leg connecting rod 45, and the other end is rotatably connected to the sixth leg connecting rod 47.

[0068] As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a vertical plane containing the rotation point of the main connecting member relative to the seat frame 2 is defined as the first reference plane 7; the rotation angle a of the main connecting member relative to the first reference plane 7 in the first stage is smaller than the rotation angle a of the main connecting member relative to the first reference plane 7 in the second stage. Therefore, in the first stage, the force for pushing the main connecting member to swing is relatively small, while in the second stage, a larger force is required.

[0069] As shown in Fig. 4, the driving member 5 transmits force to the main connecting member through the third connecting member 63, the force F2 acting on the main connecting member by the driving member 5, the angle c between the instantaneous rotation direction of the main connecting member relative to the force point of the driving member 5 and the direction of F2, the angle c in the first stage is larger than the angle c in the second stage. Therefore, in the first stage, the force for pushing the main connecting member to swing is relatively small, while in the second stage, a larger force is required.

[0070] Therefore, it is also achieved that the driving force acting on the leg support 4 in the first stage is smaller than the driving force acting on the leg support 4 in the second stage.
