[0058] At the initial stage of the back board frame 13 moving from the angle of zero, the linear actuator 2 drives the back board frame 13 and the back board to rotate upward, and the rotation of the back board frame 13 drives the first shaft 42 on the first linkage element 41 to move in the elongated through hole 311 from the foot side of the bed to the head side of the adjustable bed base. During this period, the pull-push rod 31 will not be pulled by the first linkage block 41 and the second linkage element 32 connected to the second end of the pull-push rod 31 fails to lift the leg board frame 20. After the first shaft 42 moves to the end of the elongated through hole 311 closer to the head side of the adjustable bed base, the linear actuator 2 continues to push the back board frame 13 to drive the back board frame 13 and the back board to rotate upward. During this period, the pull-push rod 31 is pulled by the first linkage element 41 and then drives the second linkage element 32 connected to the second end of the pull-push rod 31 to lift the leg board frame 20, realizing the linkage between the back board and the leg board. That is to say, at the initial stage when the back board rotates upward from the angle of zero, the linear actuator 2 only needs to provide the power to push the back board up, and after the back board is raised to the preset angle, it drives the leg board to rise together, which reduces the power requirement of the linear actuator 2, and also reduces the strength requirements and rigidity requirements of the pull-push rod 31, the back board frame 13 and the leg board frame 20. Therefore, the cost of the linear actuator 2 and the cost of structures of the adjustable bed base such as the pull-push rod 31, the back board frame 13 and the leg board frame 20 can be saved. In addition, compared with the prior art, the linear actuator 2 directly pushes the back board frame 13, which is then in movement impartation with the leg board frame 20 through the pull-push rod assembly, making the structure of the adjustable bed base simpler and more reliable.
[0059] In some embodiments, the preset angle can be any angle within a range of 5-15. Such a preset angle not only overcomes the defect of large initial lifting force requirement and increased cost, thereby relatively saving the cost of the adjustable bed base but also makes the technical effect of the leg board linkage relationship meet the actual use needs.

[0063] The stationary bed frame 100 includes a middle cross rod 113, and a linear actuator installation base 26 is detachably and pivotally connected to the middle cross rod 113. The linear actuator 2 is pivotally connected to the linear actuator installation base 26. Therefore, the linear actuator installation base 26 can be detached from the middle cross bar 113 during transportation, which is convenient for storage and packaging, thereby making the overall packaging volume of the adjustable bed base smaller and more convenient.
[0064] As shown in
[0065] After the back board frame 13 rotates beyond the preset angle, the linear actuator 2 continues to push up the back board frame 13, driving the backboard frame 13 and the back board to rotate upward, and the pull-push rod 31 is pulled by the first linkage element 41, and the pull-push rod 31 drives the second linkage element 32 to rotate around its second end, and the roller(s) 324 arranged at the third end of the second linkage element 32 moves upward with the rotation, pushing the thigh board frame longitudinal rod 201 to rotate around the pivot corresponding to the stationary bed frame 100, and the thigh board frame longitudinal rod 201 then drives the calf board frame longitudinal rod 202 to rotate, so as to realize the lifting of the leg board frame.
[0066] The adjustable bed base includes two linkage mechanisms symmetrically arranged on two sides of the linear actuator 2. Each linkage mechanism includes one back board frame longitudinal rod 131, one pull-push rod assembly, one thigh board frame longitudinal rod 201, one calf board frame longitudinal rod 202, and one first connecting rod. The above arrangements make the symmetry, balance, stability and mechanical properties of the adjustable bed base better. Under the premise of relatively saving the cost of the adjustable bed base, the lifting movements or lowering movements of the back board and leg board is uniform, flexible, stable and reliable.
[0067] As shown in
[0068] Each piled connecting assembly 5 includes one corner bed leg 3, one first connecting element 51 and one second connecting element 52. The first connecting element 51 is fixed to one end of one stationary bed frame longitudinal rod 110, the second connecting element 52 is fixed to one end of one stationary bed frame transverse rod 120, one first connecting element 51, one second connecting element 52, which are piled, and one corner bed leg 3 are connected by a first threaded fastener.
[0069] Since the first connection element 51 is disposed on the frame longitudinal rod 110 and the second connection element 52 is disposed on the frame transverse rod 120, it is only necessary to use the first threaded fastener to screw the first connection element 51, the second connection element 52 and the four corner bed legs 3, so the connection structure has relatively few parts, and the disassembly and assembly are relatively simple and convenient. In addition, since the first connection element 51 and the second connection element 52 are piled, the contact area is relatively larger, and the connection stability will be relatively better.
[0070] As shown in
[0071] The first connecting element 51 includes a first groove opening upward, the second connecting element 52 includes a second groove opening upward. The first connecting element and the second connecting element are piled when the first connecting element and the corresponding end of one stationary bed frame longitudinal rod 110 are accommodated in the second groove. The vertical threaded fastener includes a first vertical bolt 53 fixed to one corner bed leg 3 and a first nut 54, the first vertical bolt 53 passes through a bolt hole of a bottom plate 522 of the second groove, a bolt hole in a bottom plate 511 of the first groove and is screwed and fixed with the first nut 54. The horizontal threaded fastener includes a second horizontal bolt 55 and a second nut 56, the second horizontal bolt 55 passes through a bolt hole of a vertical plate 521 of the second groove, which is close to the stationary bed frame longitudinal rod 110, and a bolt hole of the stationary bed frame longitudinal rod 110 and is screwed and fixed with the second nut 56. The above arrangements allow the stationary bed frame longitudinal rod 110, the stationary bed frame transverse rod 120 and the corner bed legs 3 to have a larger contact area when connected, making the connection firmer, more stable and more reliable. The vertical threaded fastener is fixed to the corner bed leg to further reduce the number of separate parts; thus the modular characteristics are more obvious, and the disassembly and assembly are simpler and more convenient.
[0072] As shown in
[0073] In some embodiments, a middle cross rod 113 is disposed near the two middle bed legs 6, the middle cross rod 113 is parallel to the two stationary bed frame transverse rods 120, and two ends of the middle cross rod 113 are respectively fixed to the two stationary bed frame longitudinal rods 110. Specifically, each middle bed leg 6 is connected to a third connecting element 57 fixed to the stationary bed frame longitudinal bar 110 through a third threaded fastener 8, thus the middle bed leg 6 can be connected to the stationary bed frame longitudinal bar 110. The two ends of the middle cross rod 113 are fixed with two fourth connecting elements 58, and the fourth connecting elements 58 are respectively connected to the two stationary bed frame longitudinal rods 110 through the two fourth threaded fasteners respectively.
[0074] Such arrangements not only strengthen the support of the adjustable bed base from the two middle bed legs in the middle of the stationary bed frame length but also makes the connection structure more stable. In addition, the connection between the middle cross rod and the stationary bed frame longitudinal rods and the connection between the stationary bed frame longitudinal rods and the middle bed legs are divided into separate connection structures, which can also leave installation space for the electric drive arranged in the middle of the stationary bed frame.
[0075] In some embodiments, as shown in
[0076] Since the connecting reinforcing element 7 is arranged at an intersection between the back board frame longitudinal rod 131 and the load-bearing cross rod 132, during the process in which the linear actuator 2 drives the load-bearing cross rod 132 and the load-bearing cross rod 132 drives the back board frame longitudinal rod 131 to rotate, most of the load impartation can be borne by the connecting reinforcing element 7 at the intersection of the load-bearing cross rod 132 and the back panel frame longitudinal rod 131, and the third threaded fastener 8 plays a role almost only in fixing the load-bearing cross rod 132 and the back board frame longitudinal rod 131 as a whole. In this way, the load-bearing cross rod 132 and the back board frame longitudinal rod 131 at the intersection will not be easily deformed, and a possible gap between the load-bearing cross rod 132 and the back board frame longitudinal rod 131 at the intersection will not be formed easily, and the rotation process of the back board frame 13 will not generate noise easily. At the same time, the firmness, stability and mechanical properties of the connection at the intersection, i.e. the connection, between the load-bearing cross rod 132 and the back board frame longitudinal rod 131 are greatly improved.
[0077] As shown in
[0078] As shown in
[0079] In some embodiments, two back board frame longitudinal rods 131, which are connected to the load-bearing cross rod 132 by two third threaded fasteners 8, are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the linear actuator 2, and two connecting reinforcing elements 7 are respectively arranged at two intersections between the two back frame longitudinal rods 131 and the load-bearing cross rod 132. The above arrangements make the adjustable bed base more symmetrical, balanced, stable and mechanically stable.
[0080] The above description is intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art may make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure. Moreover, the above examples (or one or more of them) may be used in combination with each other, and it is contemplated that these embodiments may be combined with each other in various combinations or permutations.
