Abstract

A seat frame includes a base, a driving member and a stretching member. The driving member and the stretching member are disposed on the base. The stretching member includes backrest assemblies, cushion support assemblies and leg rest plate assemblies which are positioned on left and right sides of the base and set in pairs. A front end and a rear end of the cushion support assembly are hinged with one end of the backrest assembly and one end of the leg rest plate assembly respectively. When the seat frame is in a television (TV) posture and a lying posture, and the leg rest plate frame is inclined upward with respect to a horizontal plane.

Claims (23)

1. A seat frame, comprising: a base, a driving member and a stretching member, wherein the driving member and the stretching member are disposed on the base, wherein the stretching member comprises backrest assemblies, cushion support assemblies and leg rest plate assemblies which are positioned on left and right sides of the base and set in pairs,

wherein a front end and a rear end of each of the cushion support assemblies are hinged with one end of one of the backrest assemblies and one end of one of the leg rest plate assemblies respectively; each of the cushion support assemblies comprises a first support connector, a second support connector, a third support connector and a fourth support connector, wherein one end of the third support connector is hinged at a middle of the fourth support connector, one end of the second support connector is hinged with the other end of the third support connector, and the first support connector is hinged with one of the backrest assemblies; and

wherein each of the leg rest plate assemblies comprises a first leg rest plate connector, a second leg rest plate connector, a third leg rest plate connector and a leg rest plate frame, wherein one end of the first leg rest plate connector is hinged with one end of the fourth support connector, one end of the second leg rest plate connector is hinged with one end of the first support connector, the other end of the second leg rest plate connector is hinged with one end of the third leg rest plate connector, the other end of the first leg rest plate connector and the other end of the third leg rest plate connector are hinged with the leg rest plate frame; and when the seat frame is in a television (TV) posture and a lying posture, the leg rest plate frame is inclined upward with respect to a horizontal plane;

wherein a hinge point X is a hinge point of the fourth support connector and the first leg rest plate connector, a hinge point Y is a hinge point of the fourth support connector and the first support connector, and a distance between the hinge point X and the hinge point Y is 180 to 200 mm.

2. The seat frame of claim 1 , wherein when the seat frame is in the TV posture, a first included angle from the leg rest plate frame to the horizontal plane is 5° to 15°.

3. The seat frame of claim 2 , wherein when the seat frame is in the TV posture, a first included angle from the leg rest plate frame to the horizontal plane is 8° to 11°.

4. The seat frame of claim 3 , wherein when the seat frame is in the TV posture, the first included angle from the leg rest plate frame to the horizontal plane is 10°.

5. The seat frame of claim 1 , wherein when the seat frame is in the lying posture, a second included angle from the leg rest plate frame to the horizontal plane is 12° to 20°.

6. The seat frame of claim 5 , wherein when the seat frame is in the lying posture, the second included angle from the leg rest plate frame to the horizontal plane is 12° to 15°.

7. The seat frame of claim 6 , wherein when the seat frame is in the lying posture, the second included angle from the leg rest plate frame to the horizontal plane is 14°.

8. The seat frame of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the hinge point X and the hinge point Y is 187 to 195 mm.

9. The seat frame of claim 8 , wherein the distance between the hinge point X and the hinge point Y is 190 mm.

10. The seat frame of claim 1 , the first support connector is hinged with a first connector, the first connector is hinged with a second connector, the other end of the second connector is hinged with the one of the backrest assemblies;

wherein each of the backrest assemblies comprises a first backrest connector, a second backrest connector, a third backrest connector and a fourth backrest connector, one end of a lower part of the first backrest connector and one end of the second backrest connector are hinged at a first hinge point, the other end of the lower part of the first backrest connector and an extension part of the first support connector are hinged at a second hinge point, and a distance L between the first hinge point and the second hinge point is 70 to 85 mm; the third backrest connector is V-shaped, two ends of the third backrest connector are respectively provided with a first leg and a second leg, and a middle of the third backrest connector is protruded with a third leg; and the first leg of the third backrest connector is hinged with the other end of the second backrest connector, the third leg is hinged with one end of the second connector, the second leg is hinged with one end of the fourth backrest connector, and the other end of the fourth backrest connector is hinged with the base.

11. The seat frame of claim 10 , wherein when the seat frame is in the TV posture, an included angle between the first support connector and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to 12°; and when the seat frame is in the lying posture, the included angle between the first support connector and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to 17°.

12. The seat frame of claim 11 , wherein when the seat frame is in the TV posture, an included angle between the first support connector and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to 12°; and when the seat frame is in the lying posture, the included angle between the first support connector and the horizontal plane is less than or equal to 16°.

13. The seat frame of claim 12 , wherein when the seat frame is in the TV posture, a third included angle between the first backrest connector and the first support connector ranges from 100° to 110°; and when the seat frame is in the lying posture, a fourth included angle between the first backrest connector and the first support connector ranges from 140° to 150°.

14. The seat frame of claim 13 , wherein when the seat frame is in the TV posture, the third included angle between the first backrest connector and the first support connector is 109°; and when the seat frame is in the lying posture, the fourth included angle between the first backrest connector and the first support connector is 149°.

15. The seat frame of claim 10 , wherein when the seat frame is in the TV posture, a first included angle from the leg rest plate frame to the horizontal plane is 5° to 15°.
