CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202420182547.7, filed on Jan. 24, 2024, No. 202421342407.8, filed on Jun. 12, 2024, and No. 202423074899.X, filed on Dec. 12, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a sofa frame, in particular to a zero gravity and zero wall sofa frame.

BACKGROUND

At present, some zero gravity and zero wall sofa frame is designed with a drive mechanism that connects the seat frame and the foot rest assembly. When changing from a sitting position to a lying position, the drive mechanism drives the foot rest assembly to unfold and drives the seat frame to move forward and upward relative to the base in a state of zero gravity, and at the same time drives the backrest to move forward to keep away from the rear wall, thus achieving the purpose of no leaning against the wall.

In order to conform to the human body movement habits and give users a better experience, when the sofa frame changes from a sitting position to a lying position, the foot rest assembly will be unfolded first, and then the seat frame will be moved forward and upward; on the contrary, when the sofa frame changes from a lying position to a sitting position, the seat frame will be moved backward and downward first, and then the foot rest assembly will be retracted.

However, most sofa frames are designed with a single drive mechanism to drive the seat frame and the foot rest at the same time, so that the telescoping of the foot rest is synchronized with the movement of the seat frame, and the foot rest and the seat frame cannot act separately.

SUMMARY

In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art, an object of the present disclosure is to design a zero gravity and zero wall sofa frame, for which the foot rest and the seat frame can move separately, thus improving the user experience.

To achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure proposes a zero gravity and zero wall sofa frame which can be switched between a sitting position and a lying position, comprising:

• • A base;
  • A seat frame movably arranged on the base;
  • A first drive mechanism to drive the base to move back and forth relative to the base, wherein the first drive mechanism is provided on the base;
  • A backrest assembly convertible between an upright state and an inclined state, wherein the base and the seat frame are hinged with the backrest assembly, and when the seat frame moves forward relative to the base, the backrest assembly changes from the upright state to the inclined state, and when the seat frame moves backward relative to the base, the backrest assembly changes from the inclined state to the upright state;
  • A foot rest assembly convertible between a retracted state and an extended state;
  • A push rod, wherein both the seat frame and the push rod are hinged to the foot rest assembly; when the push rod moves forward relative to the seat frame, the foot rest assembly is converted from the contracted state to the extended state, and when the push rod moves backward relative to the seat frame, the foot rest assembly is converted from the extended state to the contracted state; and
  • A second drive mechanism that is connected with the push rod to drive the push rod to move back and forth relative to the seat frame.

Wherein, since the sofa frame is provided with the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism, the foot rest assembly and the seat frame can be made to act respectively during the state transition of the sofa frame. For example, when the sofa frame changes from a sitting position to a lying position, the foot rest assembly is stretched first, and then the seat frame moves forward while the backrest assembly tilts; when the sofa rack changes from a lying position to a sitting position, the seat frame moves backward while the backrest assembly is made upright, and then the foot rest assembly is retracted, so that the overall movement of the sofa is more in line with the human body movement habit to provide a better user experience.

Wherein, the base 3 is located inside the sofa base and fixed relative to the sofa base; the seat frame 4 is located inside the sofa cushion for driving the sofa cushion to move; the foot rest assembly 6 is located inside the sofa foot rest for driving the sofa foot rest to lift and lower; the backrest assembly 7 is located inside the sofa backrest for driving the sofa backrest to change the support angle. In this embodiment, there are two foot rest assemblies 6, and the two foot rest assemblies 6 are arranged oppositely on the left and right; there are also two backrest assemblies 7, and the two backrest assemblies 7 are also arranged oppositely on the left and right. The sofa foot rest and the sofa backrest can be driven to move more stably by setting two oppositely arranged foot rest assemblies 6 and two backrest assemblies 7. In other embodiments, the number of the foot rest assembly 6 and the backrest assembly 7 may be different.

In order to be more consistent with the movement habit of human body, the sofa frame can move according to the following sequence: When the sofa frame is changing from a sitting position to a lying position, the second drive mechanism 2 is first used to drive the push rod 5 to move forward relative to the seat frame 4, so that the foot rest assembly 6 changes from the contracted state to the extended state.

When working, the module motor 11 drives the module sliding block 13 to move on the module rail 12 through the transmission assembly, thereby driving the seat frame 4 to move. Wherein, the transmission assembly may be a transmission structure of a lead screw and a lead screw nut or a belt transmission. The transmission structure mentioned above is an existing transmission assembly structure and will not be described in detail here.

In this embodiment, the second drive mechanism 2 is an electric telescopic rod, a motor of which is arranged on the seat frame 4, and the telescopic rod body is hinged with the push rod 5. When working, the motor of the electric telescopic rod drives the rod body to move through a reducer, thus driving the push rod 5 to move. It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, since both the first drive mechanism 1 and the second drive mechanism 2 are power sources, the sofa frame may act according to the above order or in a reverse order, and the user is free to choose it.

Wherein, the support plates of the third support rod 63, the seventh support rod 67 and the bracket 68 are all used to support the sofa foot rest. It should be noted that, when the support plates are flush with each other, it means that the supporting planes of the support plates are at the same level.

As shown in FIG. 3, specifically, the base 3 is provided with two rails 31 arranged oppositely on the left and right, and the seat frame 4 is provided with at least two guide blocks 41 arranged oppositely on the left and right, which are respectively in sliding fit with the two rails 31.

When the sofa frame is changing from a sitting position to a lying position, the first connecting rod 71, the second connecting rod 72, the third connecting rod 73, the fourth connecting rod 74, the fifth connecting rod 75, and the sixth connecting rod 76 are folded backward, and the seat back 773 changes from the upright state to the inclined state; when the sofa frame is changing from a lying position to a sitting position, the first connecting rod 71, the second connecting rod 72, the third connecting rod 73, the fourth connecting rod 74, the fifth connecting rod 75, and the sixth connecting rod 76 are deployed forward, and the seat back 773 changes from the inclined state to the upright state.

Embodiment 2

As shown in FIGS. 4˜6, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the second drive mechanism 2 is a drive rod. The first drive mechanism 1 is connected with the rear end of the drive rod to drive the drive rod to move back and forth, and the front end of the drive rod is hinged with the push rod 5.

The sofa frame will act in the following sequence: When the sofa frame is changing from a sitting position to a lying position, the first drive mechanism 1 is used to drive the second drive mechanism 2 to move forwards to drive the push rod 5 to move forwards relative to the seat frame 4, so that the foot rest assembly 6 changes from the contracted state to the extended state. At this time, the sofa frame is half lying, and then the first drive mechanism 1 is used to drive the second drive mechanism 2 to continue to move forwards to drive the seat frame 4 to move forward relative to the base 3 through the foot rest assembly 6, so that the backrest assembly 7 changes from the upright state to the inclined state. When the sofa frame is changing from a lying position to a sitting position, firstly, the second drive mechanism 2 is driven by the first drive mechanism 1 to move backward, and the base frame 4 moves backward relative to the base 3 through the foot rest assembly 6, so that the backrest assembly 7 can change from the inclined state to the upright state. At this time, the sofa frame is half lying, and then the second drive mechanism 2 is driven by the first drive mechanism 1 to continue moving backwards, thus driving the push rod 5 to move backwards relative to the seat frame 4, so that the foot rest assembly 6 can change from the extended state to the contracted state. It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, since there is only one power source, that is, the first drive mechanism 1, and the second drive mechanism 2 is driven by the first drive mechanism 1 to move, the sofa frame can only move according to the above order. Compared with Embodiment 1, although the user has less freedom of choice, the cost is also lower.

Specifically, the module sliding block 13 is hinged with a rear end of the drive rod. During the movement of the drive rod, the drive rod rotates relative to the module sliding block 13 so as to cooperate with the forward and upward movement of the seat frame 4.

In this embodiment, there are two drive rods, which are arranged on the left and right oppositely. Wherein, the arrangement of two drive rods on the left and right can make more balanced transmission of force and more stable movement of the sofa frame. In other embodiments, the number of drive rods may be different.

In this embodiment, other structures of the sofa frame are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be described here.

Embodiment 3

As shown in FIGS. 7˜9, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the sofa frame further comprises a damping element 8, and the base 3 and the seat frame 4 are connected with the damping element 8 to provide a backward force to the seat frame 4. When the sofa frame is changing from a sitting position to a lying position, and the push rod 5 moves forward relative to the seat frame 4, since the damping element 8 provides a backward force to the seat frame 4, the seat frame 4 can remain stationary until the foot rest assembly 6 is in the extended state. At this time, the first drive mechanism 1 drives the second drive mechanism 2 to continue to move forward against the acting force of the damping element 8, so as to drive the seat frame 4 to move forward relative to the base 3; when the sofa frame is changing from a lying position to a sitting position, since the damping element 8 provides a backward force to the seat frame 4, the seat frame 4 is first driven to move backward relative to the base 3, and then the push rod 5 is driven to move backward relative to the seat frame 4. It can be seen that the damping element 8 provides a backward force to the seat frame 4, so that the sofa frame will act in sequence conforming to human body movement habit.

In this embodiment, there are two damping elements 8, which are arranged oppositely on the left and right. Wherein, the arrangement of two damping elements 8 oppositely on the left and right can provide more balanced force and more stable movement of the sofa frame. In other embodiments, the number of damping elements 8 may be different.

In this embodiment, the damping element 8 is a tension spring. The base 3 and the seat frame 4 are fixedly connected with both ends of the tension spring respectively, and the tension spring provides backward force to the seat frame 4. When the seat frame 4 moves forward relative to the base 3, the tension spring is stretched, thereby producing an elastic restoring force. In other embodiments, the damping element 8 may be any other elastic component, such as an elastic band and a spring. When the damping element 8 is a spring, two ends of the spring press forward against the base 3 and backward against the seat frame 4 respectively.
