Description

TECHNICAL FIELD



[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sofa accessories, and in particular, to an iron frame for a stand-assisting recliner and an operating method therefor.

BACKGROUND



[0002] Recliners are essential furniture in many homes. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, electric sofa recliners gradually enter ordinary people's homes. An electric sofa recliner is an electric sofa with an automatically adjustable backrest. The covering is usually made of high-quality genuine cowhide. The padding is high-grade sponge. The body structure is supported by a retractable recliner iron frame. The electric sofa recliner is fashionable and beautiful and is widely applied to homes, companies, among other places. Electric sofa recliners are a new chapter in the leisure industry and furniture industry. An electric sofa recliner can ingeniously integrate the practicability of furniture, the leisure aspect, and a high-tech, automated design.

[0003] An existing iron frame for a recliner usually has a lying-flat position, a crossed-leg position, an upright sitting position, and the like. Many iron frames for a recliner, for example, those disclosed in Chinese Patent (Granted) Publications No. CN202892335U, No. CN203538831U, and No. CN203314481U have the foregoing functions. The iron frames for a recliner disclosed in the foregoing patent documents do not have a stand-assisting function. It is very inconvenient for some elderly and disabled people to use such iron frames for a recliner. To overcome the foregoing disadvantages, Chinese Patent (Granted) Publication No. CN203986974U discloses a dual-motor drive mechanism for a recliner, including a base, a first drive head, a second drive head, a tail adjustment support assembly, and a middle adjustment support assembly being disposed on the base. The first drive head drives the tail adjustment support assembly to enable the tail adjustment support assembly to enter an erect state, a lying-flat state or an inclined state. The middle adjustment support assembly is correspondingly connected to a front adjustment linkage portion. The second drive head drives the middle adjustment support assembly to raise or lower to enable the middle adjustment support assembly to enter an erect state or a lying-flat state, and drives the front adjustment linkage portion to enable the front adjustment linkage portion to enter an unfolded state or a retracted state. In the retracted state, the front adjustment linkage portion is locked by the tail adjustment support assembly, and in the unfolded state, the front adjustment linkage portion is released by the tail adjustment support assembly. The dual-motor drive mechanism for a recliner can implement various functions of extending and retracting a recliner footrest, raising and lowering the recliner frame, tilting and erecting a backrest, and the like. Some special users need to lie on a recliner with the feet higher than the head to enable blood in the feet to quickly flow to the head or achieve other corresponding objectives. Existing recliner structures cannot implement the foregoing functions.

[0027] During assembly, the first electric push rod 24 is in an initial state, the telescopic footrest assembly is in a retracted state, and the inclined support 5 and the base frame 6 are horizontally disposed. When the first electric push rod 24 retracts, the rotating rod 2 moves toward the rotating rod limit block 81, and the rotating rod 2 drives the telescopic footrest assembly to unfold to form a lying-flat state. When the rotating rod 2 moves to touch the rotating rod limit block 81, the telescopic footrest assembly no longer extends. If the first electric push rod 24 continues to retract, the first electric push rod 24 pulls the tail end of the inclined support 5 to rise, so that the front end of the inclined support 5 forms a support, and the front end of the base frame 6 rises to form a raised lying position state. When the first electric push rod 24 extends, the inclined support 5 and the telescopic footrest assembly are reset, the first electric push rod 24 continues to extend upward obliquely to enable the stand-assisting support 23 to touch the stand-assisting stop block 83, and the stand-assisting support 23 drives the upper frame assembly to rotate around a tail end of the stand-assisting support to form a stand-assisting position.
