Description

Zero-gravity sofa iron frame TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sofa seat iron frame, and particularly relates to a zero-gravity sofa iron frame. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the acceleration of modern life rhythm and the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, the application of ergonomic principles in seat design is increasingly emphasized to improve the comfort and health benefits of users. As one of the best, the zero-gravity seat effectively disperses body pressure by simulating the natural posture of the human body in a zero-gravity environment, reduces fatigue caused by long sitting, and becomes the focus of market attention.

[0003] However, the existing zero-gravity seat and its iron frame structure still has many deficiencies in design. Traditional design often relies on double motors or multi-link mechanisms to achieve independent adjustment of the backrest and the foot, although it can simulate the zero-gravity posture to some extent, but the structure is complex and the number of parts is large, which not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also increases the difficulty of maintenance and installation. At the same time, limited by the structure design, the footboard extension length is generally short, which is difficult to meet the comfortable stretching needs of different users, thereby affecting the overall zero-gravity experience. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the deficiencies of the prior art described above, the present application provides a zero-gravity sofa iron frame. The sofa iron frame can be realized to be simple in structure and convenient in zero-gravity adjustment.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve the problems is:

[0006] A zero-gravity sofa iron frame, comprising: a support base; an iron frame body hinged with the support base; a backrest assembly hinged with the iron frame body; a leg stretching assembly hinged with the iron frame body; and a main drive for adjusting the hinge angle between the iron frame body and the support base, wherein the hinge angle between the iron frame body and the support base is adjusted by the main drive, and the range of the hinge angle is 6-25 degrees.

[0007] By adopting the above scheme, the angle between the iron frame body and the support base is adjusted by the main drive, which reduces the operation difficulty, realizes the zero-gravity adjustment, reduces the complexity of the iron frame body, and at the same time, as the inclination of the iron frame body is adjusted, the leg stretching assembly can continue to extend a distance, and the extension length and height of the leg stretching assembly are increased.

[0008] In some embodiments, the iron stand body comprises: a sofa assembly frame; a first support frame assembled on the sofa assembly frame, the first support frame being hinged to one end of the main drive; and a second support frame assembled on the sofa assembly frame, the first support frame being spaced apart from the second support frame, the second support frame being hinged to the support base.

[0009] By adopting the above scheme, the installation stability of the iron stand body is ensured while the strength of the iron stand body itself is ensured.

[0010] In some embodiments, a leg drive is hinged between the iron stand body and the leg extension assembly, and a backrest drive is hinged between the iron stand body and the backrest assembly.

[0011] By adopting the above scheme, the leg extension assembly and the backrest assembly can be controlled separately, thereby realizing the transition between multiple postures.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first support frame is at least partially bent towards the support base to install a first main drive hinge part hinged to one end of the main drive.

[0013] By adopting the above scheme, the main drive is facilitated to be installed, thereby improving the driving fluency and stability of the main drive.

[0014] In some embodiments, the support base comprises: a sofa foot; a base hinge part assembled above the sofa foot, the iron stand body being hinged to the base hinge part; and a second main drive hinge part connected to the base hinge part, the other end of the main drive being hinged to the second main drive hinge part.
