SOFA CHAIR

Abstract

A sofa chair includes a base, a chair frame assembly, a backrest assembly and a leg telescoping assembly. The chair frame assembly includes a chair frame bracket and a chair frame disposed on the chair frame bracket. The chair frame assembly is movably connected to the base by a connection rod structure. The sofa chair is configured to, in response to changing the state of the connection rod structure, switch between the sitting posture, the TV posture, and the fully lying posture. When the sofa chair is in the fully lying posture, the first included angle between the chair frame and the horizontal plane is greater than 26 degrees and less than 30 degrees, and the first height between the lowest point of the chair frame and the ground is 60 mm to 100 mm.

Description

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202123061362.6 filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) on Dec. 8, 2021, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of furniture technologies, for example, a sofa chair.

BACKGROUND

Chairs are common seating devices in life. A chair typically includes a backrest and an armrest. A chair of the related art is mostly a simple structure having simple functions, so the chair cannot be adjusted and thus is less comfortable.

To improve the comfort of a user when the user lies or sits, some chairs can be adjusted to a zero-gravity state, such as a massage chair with a slideway-type zero-gravity structure disclosed by the Chinese Patent No. CN213157432U. This chair has a zero-gravity effect and thus can improve the user comfort and the massage and relaxation effect. This chair is driven by an electric push rod to switch between a zero-gravity posture and a standing posture.

When the zero-gravity chair is in the fully lying posture, the included angle between the seat plane of the zero-gravity chair and the horizontal plane is relatively small, and thus the zero-gravity experience effect is not noticeable. In addition, to implement the zero-gravity experience, the zero-gravity chair involves raising a leg unit. This is generally implemented by sinking the backrest. When the backrest sinks to a certain degree, the backrest interferes with the electric motor, affecting installation of the electric motor.

SUMMARY

The present application provides a sofa chair so that the included angle between the seat plane and the horizontal plane is larger, the zero-gravity experience is more noticeable, and the seat does not interfere with the electric motor.

Provided is a sofa chair. The sofa chair includes a base disposed horizontally, a chair frame assembly indirectly and movably connected to the base, a backrest assembly movably connected to one end of the chair frame assembly, and a leg telescoping assembly movably connected to another end of the chair frame assembly. The chair frame assembly includes a chair frame bracket and a chair frame disposed on the chair frame bracket. The chair frame assembly is movably connected to the base by a connection rod structure. The sofa chair is switchable between the sitting posture, the TV posture and the fully lying posture by changing the state of the connection rod structure. When the sofa chair is in the fully lying posture, the first included angle between the chair frame and the horizontal plane is greater than 26 degrees and less than 30 degrees, and the first height between the lowest point of the chair frame and the ground is 60 mm to 100 mm.

An extension part 23 obliquely protrudes from the backrest support 21.

The leg telescoping assembly 4 is movably connected to the first portion 311 of the chair frame bracket 31. The leg telescoping assembly 4 includes at least one connection rod. The structure of the leg telescoping assembly 4 is known in the art and thus is not described here again.

The first connection rod 51 is hinged at the position where the first portion 311 of the chair frame bracket 31 is connected to the second portion 312 of the chair frame bracket 31. An end of the first connection rod 51 is hinged to the first support rod 11. The second connection rod 52 is hinged to the middle of the first portion 311 of the chair frame bracket 31. An end of the second connection rod 52 is hinged to the second support rod 12.

The distance from the hinge point between the first connection rod 11 and the first support rod 51 to the hinge point between the base 1 and the first support rod 11 is 175 mm to 200 mm. The distance from the hinge point between the first connection rod 11 and the first support rod 51 to the hinge point between the base 1 and the first support rod 11 may be 183±1 mm.

The third connection rod 53 connects the middle of the first connection rod 51 and the middle of the second connection rod 52.

The chair frame assembly 3 includes a chair frame bracket 31 and a chair frame 30 disposed on the chair frame bracket 31. The chair frame assembly 3 is movably connected to the base 1 by a connection rod structure. The sofa chair is configured to switch between the sitting posture, the TV posture, and the fully lying posture as the state of the connection rod structure changes. When the sofa chair is in the fully lying posture, the first included angle between the chair frame 30 and the horizontal plane is greater than 26 degrees, and the first height between the lowest point of the chair frame 30 and the ground is 60 mm to 100 mm. Alternatively, the first height may be 65 mm to 75 mm, for example, may be 68±1 mm.
