DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0029] The structural features and advantages of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 2, a structural diagram of a chair frame for a multifunctional seat according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the chair frame includes a base 10. The base 10 includes a base front supporting tube 12 and a base rear supporting tube 14, a base right supporting tube 16 and a base left supporting tube 18 (see FIG. 4). A pair of pedal supports is connected to the front driving tube 40 through a connecting rod mechanism. One end of the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 is fixedly connected to the front driving tube 40, and the other end of the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 is fixedly connected to the base rear supporting tube 14. The left handrail support 36 and the right handrail support 36 are connected and fixed to the left end and the right end of the backrest front driving tube 34, and the backrest front driving tube 34 is connected to the front driving tube 40 through a connecting rod mechanism. One end of the backrest motor telescopic rod mechanism 60 is fixedly connected to the backrest front driving tube 34, and the other end of the backrest motor telescopic rod mechanism 60is fixedly connected to the backrest rear driving tube 32. The front end of the upper frame 20 is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the connecting piece 26, and the front end of the lower frame 30 is connected to the lower portion of the connecting piece 26 through rivets, and the rear end of the lower frame 30 is connected to the connecting piece 25 through rivets. The rear end of the base right supporting tube 16 and the rear end of the base left supporting tube 18 are fixedly connected to the lower portions of the connecting pieces 25. The two sides of the front driving tube 40 are further connected to clamping pieces 44, and clamping pin structures 46 matched with the clamping pieces 44 are fixed on the upper frame 20. Referring to FIG. 3A, each clamping piece 44 includes a square hole 441 connected to the front driving tube 40 in a sleeved mode, a first clamping portion 443 and a second clamping portion 445 opposite to the first clamping portion 443. The clamping piece 44 is installed on the front driving tube 40 through the square hole 441 and then is welded and fixed to the front driving tube 40. Each clamping pin structure 46 includes a fixing portion 461 fixed to the upper frame, a pin shaft 463 matched with the first clamping portion 443 of the clamping piece 44, and a limiting portion 465. The pin shaft 463 is arranged between the fixing portion 461 and the limiting portion 465. Referring to FIG. 4, the clamping pin 261 matched with the second clamping portion 445 of the clamping piece 44 is provided on the connecting piece 26.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, when the pedal supports 42 of the chair frame is driven by the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 to stretch forward to a position through the front driving tube 40 and the connecting rod mechanism. The first clamping portion 443 of the clamping piece 44 arranged on the front driving tube 40 abuts against the pin shaft 463 of the clamping pin structure 46 fixed on the upper frame. In this case, when a user sits on the seat, the applied weight of body is transmitted to the upper frame 20 through the combination of the clamping piece 44 and the clamping pin structure 46, and then is transmitted to the base right (left) supporting tube through the fixed connecting piece 46 of the upper frame 20, wherein the connecting piece 46 contacts the base right (left) supporting tube. The base supporting tube is arranged on the ground, so that the clamping piece 44 and the clamping pin structure 46 are additionally arranged to additionally add a pressure-bearing structure for the chair frame, and thus the bearing weight of the chair frame is increased. In addition, in order to ensure the use effect of the pressure-bearing structure, in the design of the matching structure of the first clamping portion 443 of the clamping piece 44 and the pin shaft 463, when the pedal supports 42 extend to the position, a certain gap is reserved between the pin shaft 463 and the bottommost portion of the first clamping portion 443. At this time, the pin shaft 463 abuts against the side edge of the first clamping portion 443 to form a pressure bearing mechanism. When the bearing weight on the seat exceeds a certain value, the pin shaft 463 can be completely and tightly matched with the first clamping portion 443. At the moment, the extra weight of the body on the seat can be transmitted to the telescopic rod of the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 fixed to the front driving tube 40, and then is transmitted to a base rear supporting tube 14 fixed to the other end of the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50. Therefore, by means of the design, on one hand, the weight bearing capacity of the chair frame is increased; and on the other hand, the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 is effectively protected, so that the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 would not be deformed and even damaged due to overload, and thus the quality of the chair frame and the service life of the chair frame are guaranteed. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the chair frame, the clamping piece 44 is arranged on the front driving tube 40 and is located at a certain distance away from upper frame 20 and the plane where the base left supporting tube and the base right supporting tube are located. In this way, a contact point A where the clamping piece 44 abuts against the clamping pin structure 46, a fixing point B where a fixed connecting block 41 on the end portion of the front driving tube 40 is connected to the connecting rod mechanism, and a fixed connecting point C where the connecting rod mechanism is connected to the handrail support 36 forms a three-point fixed supporting structure in a space, to provide a very stable space pressure-bearing structure. Therefore, the weight bearing capacity of the chair frame is guaranteed, and even when the user sits close to one side of the seat, namely, the body weight of the user is almost completely applied to one side of the chair frame, the stability of the seat can also be guaranteed.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 4, a clamping pin 261 is arranged on the connecting piece 26 of the upper frame. When the pedal support 42 of the chair frame is driven by the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 to be retracted through the front driving tube 40 and the connecting rod mechanism, the second clamping portion 445 of the clamping piece 44 abuts against the clamping pin 261. In this case, the three-point fixed supporting structure formed in the new three-dimensional space by including the point where the second clamping portion 445 abuts against the clamping pin 261 works. When the user sits on the seat, the applied weight of body is transmitted to the upper frame 20 through the combination of the clamping piece 44 and the clamping pin 261, and then is transmitted to the base right (left) supporting tube through the fixed connecting piece 46 of the upper frame 20, wherein the fixed connecting piece 46 contacts the base right (left) supporting tube. The weight bearing capability of the chair frame is increased and the weight bearing capability of the seat after the pedal is retracted is guaranteed by this new additional pressure-bearing structure. Similarly, in the design of the matching structure of the second clamping portion 445 of the clamping piece 44 and the clamping pin 261, after the pedal support 42 is retracted, and a certain gap is reserved between the clamping pin 261 and the bottommost portion of the second clamping portion 445. Only when the weight of the body on the seat exceeds a certain value, the clamping pin 261 and the second clamping portion 445 can be completely and tightly matched. At the moment, the extra weight of the body on the seat can be transmitted to the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 fixed to the front driving tube 40, and then is transmitted to the base rear support tube 14 fixed to the other end of the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50. In this way, through the design, on one hand, the bearing weight of the chair frame is increased; and on the other hand, the main motor telescopic rod mechanism 50 is effectively protected. Similarly, since the clamping piece 44 is arranged on the front driving tube 40, and is located at a certain distance away from upper frame 20 and the plane where the base left supporting tube and the base right supporting tube are located, in this way, the connection structure of the clamping piece 44 and the clamping pin 261 forms a new three-point fixed supporting structure in the space to provide a very stable space pressure-bearing structure. Therefore, the weight bearing capability of the chair frame is guaranteed, and even when the user sits close to one side of the seat, namely, the body weight of the user is almost completely applied to one side of the chair frame, and the stability of the seat can also be guaranteed.

[0033] According to the state diagram of the lifted chair frame shown in FIG. 5, after the chair frame is lifted to a preset position, the second clamping portion 445 of the clamping piece 44 is in abutting connection with the clamping pin 261. In this case, like FIG. 4, a new three-point fixed supporting structure formed in a three-dimensional space by including a point where the second clamping portion 445 abuts the clamping pin 261 works. When the user sits on the seat, the applied weight of the body is transmitted to the upper frame 20 through the combination of the clamping piece 44 and the clamping pin 261, and then is transmitted to the lower frame 30 through the fixed connecting piece 46 of the upper frame 20, wherein the lower frame 30 contacts the fixed connecting piece 46. The other end of the lower frame 30 is connected to the lower frame connecting piece 25, and the lower frame connecting piece 25 is connected to the base right (left) supporting tube 16 (18), so that the weight of the body is transmitted to the base of the chair frame through the additional pressure-bearing structure. Hence, the weight bearing capability of the chair frame is increased, and effective protection is formed for the motor telescopic rod mechanism. Similarly, the clamping piece 44 is arranged on the front driving tube 40 and is located between the upper frame 20 and the base, the left supporting tube and the right supporting tube are located at a certain distance, the connecting structure of the clamping piece 44 and the clamping pin 261 is matched with that of the upper frame 40 and the left of the base, the left supporting tube and the right supporting tube also form a three-point fixed supporting structure in a new space, and a very stable space pressure-bearing structure can be provided. Therefore, the weight bearing capability of the chair frame is guaranteed, and even when the user sits close to one side of the seat, namely the body weight of the user is almost completely applied to one side of the chair frame, the stability of the seat can also be ensured.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 6, as to the chair frame of the multifunctional seat of the invention, in order to improve the convenience of connection between the upper frame 20 and the connecting piece 26, connection accuracy and reliability, a connecting rivet 267 is arranged in the middle of the two connecting plates of the connecting piece 26. In this way, when the upper frame 20 and the connecting piece 26 are pre-fixed and welded, the two rivets 263, 265 for connecting the upper frame and the connecting piece 26, and the connecting rivets 267 between the two connecting plates of the connecting piece 26 form a stable three-point stable structure to avoid the problem that the welding quality is poor due to inaccurate alignment between the upper frame 20 and the connecting piece 26. In addition, due to the existence of the three-point stable structure, the problem that the fixing structure of the upper frame 20 and the connecting piece 26 would be easily deformed during the long-time use of the seat can also be avoided to improve the stability and the strength of the seat. Based on the above, it is unnecessary for the upper frame and the connecting piece to be welded at the whole edge, alternatively, spot welding (for example, only two points need to be welded on a single side) can be adopted to ensure the strength and the stability of the structure. Similarly, for the fixing connection mechanism of the base left supporting tube and the base right supporting tube 18, 16 and the connecting piece 25, the same design is also made. A connecting rivet is also arranged in the middle of the two connecting plates of the connecting piece 25, and the description is not repeated herein.

[0035] The chair frame provided by the invention has very excellent load bearing strength and extremely high stability. A group of connecting structures of a clamping piece and a clamping pin are additionally arranged between each of two ends of the front driving tube and the upper frame. The clamping pin connecting structure, the upper frame, the base supporting tube, the connecting rod mechanism of the chair frame and the like are not arranged in the same plane, to form three-point fixed pressure-bearing structures in the space. When a user sits on the chair, the weight of the body can be transmitted to the base of the chair frame through the structure firstly, and the extra weight can be transmitted to a pressure bearing structure of the motor telescopic rod mechanism. The front portion and the rear portion of the clamping piece are respectively provided with a clamping portion so that a new pressure-bearing structure can be ensured to be formed in each state under the condition that the chair frame pedal support is stretched or retracted, or the seat is lifted. In this way, the weight bearing capability of the seat can be greatly improved, while the stability of the seat is also improved, and there is no problem even when the user uses the seat abnormally. In addition, the motor telescopic rod mechanism is effectively protected, to avoid the problems that the motor telescopic rod mechanism is prone to deformation and even fracture. The connecting structure between the upper frame and the fixed connecting piece thereof, and the connecting structures between the left and right supporting tubes of the chair frame and the fixed connecting pieces thereof are improved and designed, so that not only is the precision of welding fixation improved, but also the load bearing strength and stability of the connection structure are improved.

[0036] The present invention is not limited to above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make modifications and changes without going beyond the spirit i.e., the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention depends on the scope defined in the claims.
