The present invention relates to the field of furniture manufacturing, and in particular to a stretching device for a leisure chair.
At present, many rocking chairs, recliners, sofas, and the like are equipped with an electromechanical stretching device, on which a backrest, a seat cushion and a leg rest are mounted. The electromechanical stretching device is typically a combination of various mechanical connectors, which realizes the switching between a sitting posture mode, a television (TV)-watching posture mode and a lying posture mode through a drive mechanism. However, the connections between the drive mechanism and the mechanical stretching assemblies lack guidance, as a result, the motions of the mechanical stretching assemblies on both sides are generally not synchronized, which affects user experience.
To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, an objective of the present invention is to provide a stretching device for a leisure chair to avoid the problem that the motions of the mechanical stretching assemblies on both sides are not synchronized, thereby improving user experience.
To achieve the above objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
A stretching device for a leisure chair includes a base. Stretching assemblies are symmetrically and pivotally connected to two sides of the base. The stretching assembly includes a seat plate mechanism. The front part of the seat plate mechanism is pivotally connected to a leg mechanism, and the rear part of the seat plate mechanism is pivotally connected to a backrest mechanism. A drive mechanism is provided between the stretching assemblies. The drive mechanism includes a front drive rod and a rear drive rod. The front drive rod and the rear drive rod drive the stretching assemblies to unfold or fold by a reciprocating motion device. The two ends of the front drive rod are fixedly connected to the leg mechanism. The two ends of the rear drive rod are pivotally connected to a first drive member. The middle part of the first drive member is pivotally connected to a second drive member. The other end of the first drive member and the other end of the second drive member are pivotally connected to the seat plate mechanism. The first drive member is fixedly connected to a first limit pin. The rear drive rod is provided with an arcuate-slotted hole through which the first limit pin slides.
Preferably, the base includes a base frame. Mounting frames are fixedly connected to two sides of the base frame, and the mounting frames are configured to pivotally connect the seat plate mechanism.
Preferably, the seat plate mechanism includes a first front rotating member and a first rear rotating member. The first front rotating member is pivotally connected to the front part of the mounting frame, and the first rear rotating member is pivotally connected to the rear part of the mounting frame. The other end of the first front rotating member and the other end of the first rear rotating member are pivotally connected to a first side link rod. The front part of the first side link rod is pivotally connected to a second front rotating member. The middle inner side of the second front rotating member is pivotally connected to the first drive member, and the middle outer side of the second front rotating member is pivotally connected to a side assembly plate. The middle part of the first side link rod is pivotally connected to the second drive member. The rear part of the first side link rod is pivotally connected to the second rear rotating member. The other end of the second rear rotating member is pivotally connected to a second side link rod. The leg mechanism includes a footrest. The footrest is pivotally connected to a first leg link rod and a second leg link rod. The other end of the first leg link rod is pivotally connected to a third leg link rod, and the other end of the second leg link rod is pivotally connected to a fourth leg link rod. The other end of the third leg link rod and the other end of the fourth leg link rod are pivotally connected to the front part of the side assembly plate. The rear part of the second leg link rod is pivotally connected to the front part of the second leg link rod. The rear part of the fourth leg link rod is pivotally connected to the front end of the second side link rod. The backrest mechanism includes a backrest mounting plate. The front end of the backrest mounting plate is pivotally connected to the second front rotating member. The middle front part of the backrest mounting plate is pivotally connected to the side assembly plate, and the middle part of the backrest mounting plate is pivotally connected to a backrest rotating member. The backrest rotating member is pivotally connected to a backrest drive member. The other end of the backrest drive member is pivotally connected to the rear end of the first side link rod. One end of the backrest rotating member is pivotally connected to the rear end of the second side link rod.
Preferably, a tension spring is provided between the second front rotating member and the rear drive rod.
Preferably, the reciprocating motion device includes a motor hinged to the front drive rod. The motor drives a sliding block to slide on a sliding rail, and the sliding block is fixedly connected to the rear drive rod.
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages.
1. When the reciprocating motion device is activated, the front drive rod and the rear drive rod drive the stretching assemblies to unfold or fold. Meanwhile, the first limit pin slides in the arcuate-slotted hole to guide the rotation of the first drive member and the second drive member. In this way, it is ensured that the motions of the mechanical stretching assemblies on both sides are synchronized, thereby improving user experience.
2. A tension spring is provided, which plays a role in resetting and guiding when the stretching assembly is fully unfolded and then folded, thereby ensuring that the backrest mechanism is reset first.

As shown in
The side assembly plate is provided with the fourth limit pin 404 and the fifth limit pin 405. The second front rotating member is provided with the first limit surface 2142 matched with the fourth limit pin and the second limit surface 2143 matched with the fifth limit pin. The second leg link rod is provided with the sixth limit pin 406. The third leg link rod is provided with the third limit surface 2231 and the fourth limit surface 2232 that are matched with the sixth limit pin.
The specific working process and principle of the present invention are as follows.
In a sitting posture mode, the sliding block is closest to the motor, the first limit pin is located in the central part of the arcuate-slotted hole, the second limit pin is separated from the limit groove, the third limit pin is located at the bottom of the rear side of the slotted limit groove, the fourth limit pin abuts the first limit surface, the fifth limit pin abuts the second limit surface, and the sixth limit pin abuts the fourth limit surface. At this time, the stretching assembly is in a folded state, and the stretching assembly can swing on the mounting frame.
When the sitting posture mode is switched to a TV-watching posture mode, the motor is activated, so that the sliding block and the motor move away from each other, the front drive rod unfolds the leg mechanism, the rear drive rod drives the seat plate mechanism to unfold through the first drive member and the second drive member, the first limit pin slides to the bottom of the rear side of the arcuate-slotted hole, the second limit pin slides into the limit groove to limit the swing of the stretching assembly, the third limit pin slides to the bottom of the front side of the slotted limit groove, the fourth limit pin keeps abutting the first limit surface, the fifth limit pin keeps abutting the second limit surface, and the sixth limit pin abuts the third limit surface. At this time, the tension spring is stretched.
When the TV-watching posture mode is switched to a lying posture mode, the motor remains activated, so that the first limit pin slides to the bottom of the front side of the arcuate-slotted hole, the second limit pin remains located in the limit groove to limit the swing of the stretching assembly, the third limit pin slides to the central part of the slotted limit groove, the fourth limit pin is separated from the first limit surface, the fifth limit pin is separated from the second limit surface, and the sixth limit pin remains abutting the third limit surface. At this time, the tension spring is pulled to the longest, and the backrest mechanism is unfolded.
