Next, the folding frame 4 includes a first folding frame 41, a second folding frame 42 and a third folding frame 43, one end of the first folding frame 41 is pivotally connected to the movable frame 2, one end of the second folding frame 42 is pivotally connected to the other end of the first folding frame 41, one end of the third folding frame 43 is pivotally connected to the other end of the second folding frame 42. In the first position, the first transmission device 5 drives the first folding frame 41 together with the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 to fold until the first folding frame 41 and the second folding frame 42 are folded and attached together to form a backrest of the rest sofa, and the third folding frame 43 is translated onto the movable frame 2 to form a cushion of the rest sofa; in the second position, the first transmission device 5 drives the first folding frame 41 together with the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 to unfold, the first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 are co-linear and coplanar to form a rest bed.
The first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 are pivotally connected by setting a pivot at one end and a shaft hole for inserting the pivot at the other end, alternatively, the first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 are connected by hinges. Specifically, one end of the first folding frame 41 is pivotally connected to the upper rear side of the movable frame 2. The first transmission device 5 drives the first folding frame 41 to rotate upward and backward when folded, thereby driving the second folding frame 42 rotates downward and backward, and makes the first folding frame 41 and the second folding frame 42 overlap in the front and rear directions, and the second folding frame 42 drives the third folding frame 43 to move backward and above the movable frame 2. It can be seen that the first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 are ingeniously pivoted, then the folding action is simple and easy to realize. And at least one cushion is provided above the first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43.
Furtherly, one end of the third folding frame 43 away from the second folding frame 42 is provided with a roller member that is rolled and held on the bearing surface of the bottom frame 11. The roller member includes a support leg 431 and a roller 432, the support leg 431 is installed on the bottom of the third folding frame 43 and extending downward, the roller 432 is installed at the bottom of the support leg 431. The third folding frame 43 assist its own movement via the roller 432 when folded. On one hand, the smoothness of the movement of the third folding frame 43 during folding is improved, on the other hand, the noise generated when the third folding frame 43 moves is eliminated.
Referring to
Continued, the weight sensor 6 is used to identify the weight of the folding frame 4 and trigger the folding frame 4 to fold. The weight sensor 6 is installed on the movable frame 2. When the weight sensor 6 recognizes that the weight is below the set value, the first transmission device 5 drives the folding frame 4 to automatically fold on the movable frame 2. Specifically, when the folding frame 4 is unfolded into a sofa bed, the first folding frame 41 abuts against the weight sensor 6; when the folding frame 4 is folded into a sofa, the third folding frame 43 abuts against the weight sensor 6. As an example, when the first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 are opened, it is now a sofa bed, the first folding frame 41 abuts against the weight sensor 6, and obtains the weight setting value M1 according to the weight when the first folding frame 41 abuts against the weight sensor 6.
In more detail, once the user sits or places heavy objects on the first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43, the first transmission device 5 stops when the weight is greater than the set value M1, in order to prevent the first transmission device 5 from being automatically folded when there is a heavy object on the folding frame 4. In this way, it can be ensured that during the automatic folding process driven by the first transmission device 5, there will be no heavy objects on the folding frame 4, and this design can protect the sofa bed.
Once the user leaves, the weight of the folding frame 4 is below the set value Ml, at this time, the weight sensor 6 will send a signal to the control unit 8, the control unit 8 will control the first transmission device 5 to fold the folding frame 4, so as to realize the function of automatic folding when the user leaves. It should be noted here that the first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 are pivotally connected. As the first folding frame 41, the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 are unfolded, even when only the first folding frame 41 abuts against the weight sensor 6, the weight of the second folding frame 42 and the third folding frame 43 is transferred to the first folding frame 41 after being unfolded.
Continued, there are two limit switches 7, the two limit switches 7 are signally connected to the first transmission device 5 via the control unit 8. When the folding frame 4 rotates to trigger one of the limit switches 7, the first transmission device 5 stops working so that the folding frame 4 is folded. When the folding frame 4 rotates to trigger another limit switch 7, the first transmission device 5 stops working so that the folding frame 4 completes the folding. Specifically, the limit switch 7 includes a trigger 71 and a sensing piece 72, the trigger 71 is installed on the upper rear side of the movable frame 2, the sensing piece 72 is installed on the rear side of the first folding frame 41. When the first folding frame 41 is rotated to be folded, the sensing piece 72 contacts the trigger 71, the trigger 71 transmits a signal to the control unit 8, the control unit 8 controls the first transmission device 5 to stop working, thereby completing the folding. The principle of triggering to unfold is the same as that of folding, which will not be described here.
