Abstract

A mechanically stretchable apparatus for a sofa and a sofa thereof are provided. The mechanically stretchable apparatus includes: a seat component, a linkage component, a back component and a leg component. The seat component further includes a base, a first rotating part, the second rotating part, and the seat linkage structure placed between the first and second rotating parts. The seat linkage structure includes a back linkage with a seat connection point, a transmission connection point, and a back connection point. The seat connection point is connected to the first rotating part. The back connection point is connected to the back component. The back component and the leg component are respectively connected to the linkage component, and the linkage component is connected to the seat linkage structure.

Claims (32)

1. A mechanically stretchable apparatus for a sofa, comprising:

a seat component, wherein the seat component further comprises: a base, a first rotating part, a second rotating part, and a seat linkage structure, wherein the first rotating member and the second rotating member are both connected to the base, and the seat linkage structure is disposed between the first rotating part and the second rotating part;

a linkage component that is connected to the seat linkage structure, wherein the seat linkage structure further comprises a back linkage with a seat connection point, a transmission connection point, and a back connection point, wherein the seat connection point is connected to the first rotating part, and wherein a distance between the transmission connection point and the seat connection point is L1, a distance between the transmission connection point and the back connection point is L2, and a ratio between L1 and L2 is between 0.75-0.95, the back linkage further comprises a linkage connection point that is connected to the linkage component, the linkage component further comprises a side linkage with two ends and a fixed connecting piece with two ends, wherein a first end of the side linkage is connected to the back component, and a second end of the side linkage is connected to the leg component, and an end of the fixed connecting piece is connected to the second rotating part;

a back component that is connected to the back connection point and the linkage component; and

a leg component that is connected to the linkage component.

2. The mechanically stretchable apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the back component and the leg component are adjusted to a stretch state at a same time.

3. The mechanically stretchable apparatus of claim 2 , wherein in response to that the back component and the leg component are adjusted to the stretch state, a highest point of the leg component is higher than a highest point of the back component, wherein a difference between the highest point of the leg component and the highest point of the back component is H, and H is less than or equal to 300 mm.

4. The mechanically stretchable apparatus of claim 3 , wherein during a process of the back component and the leg component being adjusted to the stretch state, 40 mm≤H≤300 mm.

5. The mechanically stretchable apparatus of claim 2 , wherein an angle between the linkage component and the base is α, an angle between the back component and the base is β, when the back component and the leg component are both adjusted to the stretch state, α=22° and β=19°.

6. The mechanically stretchable apparatus of claim 5 , wherein during a process of the back component and the leg component being adjusted to the stretch state, α≤22° and β≤19°.

7. The mechanically stretchable apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the base is set on ground.

8. The mechanically stretchable apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the seat linkage structure further comprises a seat transmission linkage with two ends and a seat linkage with three ends, wherein:

a first end of the seat transmission linkage is connected to the transmission connection point, and a second end of the seat transmission linkage is connected to a first end of the seat linkage; and

remaining two ends of the seat linkage are respectively connected to the second rotating part and the linkage component.

9. A stretchable sofa, comprising:

a seat;

a backrest disposed on a back side of the seat;

a footrest disposed on a front side of the seat; and

a mechanically stretchable apparatus, comprising:

a seat component, wherein the seat component further comprises: a base, a first rotating part, a second rotating part, and a seat linkage structure, wherein the first rotating member and the second rotating member are both connected to the base, and the seat linkage structure is disposed between the first rotating part and the second rotating part;

a linkage component that is connected to the seat linkage structure, wherein the seat linkage structure further comprises a back linkage with a seat connection point, a transmission connection point, and a back connection point, wherein the seat connection point is connected to the first rotating part, and wherein a distance between the transmission connection point and the seat connection point is L1, a distance between the transmission connection point and the back connection point is L2, and a ratio between L1 and L2 is between 0.75-0.95, the back linkage further comprises a linkage connection point that is connected to the linkage component, the linkage component further comprises a side linkage with two ends and a fixed connecting piece with two ends, wherein a first end of the side linkage is connected to the back component, and a second end of the side linkage is connected to the leg component, and an end of the fixed connecting piece is connected to the second rotating part;

a back component that is connected to the back connection point and the linkage component; and

a leg component that is connected to the linkage component.

10. The stretchable sofa of claim 9 , wherein the back component and the leg component are adjusted to a stretch state at a same time.

11. The stretchable sofa of claim 10 , wherein in response to that the back component and the leg component are adjusted to the stretch state, a highest point of the leg component is higher than a highest point of the back component, wherein a difference between the highest point of the leg component and the highest point of the back component is H, and H is less than or equal to 300 mm.

12. The stretchable sofa of claim 11 , wherein during a process of the back component and the leg component being adjusted to the stretch state, 40 mm≤H≤300 mm.

13. The stretchable sofa of claim 10 , wherein an angle between the linkage component and the base is α, an angle between the back component and the base is β, when the back component and the leg component are both adjusted to the stretch state, α=22° and β=19°.

14. The stretchable sofa of claim 13 , wherein during a process of the back component and the leg component being adjusted to the stretch state, α≤22° and β≥19°.

15. The stretchable sofa of claim 14 , wherein the base is set on ground.
