DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0029] In order to make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be fully and clearly described in combination with drawings. Apparently, the embodiments described herein are only some embodiments rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments without making creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0030] The terms used herein are used only to describe specific exemplary configurations without any purpose of limitation. As used herein, the articles a, an and the in singular forms can also be intended to include plural forms unless otherwise indicated clearly. The terms include, contain and have are inclusive and therefore the presence of the specified features, steps, operations, elements and/or components does not preclude presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components and/or their combinations. The method steps, processes and operations described herein shall not be interpreted as requiring them to be performed in the discussed or indicated specific sequence, unless otherwise marked as execution sequence. Additional or alternative steps may be used.
[0031] As used herein, the phrases in one embodiment, according to one embodiment, in some embodiments and the like usually refer to the fact that the specific features, structures or characteristics following the phrases can be included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, the specific features, structures or characteristics can be included in more than one embodiment of the present disclosure such that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. As used herein, the terms example, illustrative and the like are used as examples, instances or descriptions. Any implementations, aspects or designs described as examples or exemplary herein are not necessarily interpreted as preferred or superior to other implementations, aspects or designs. On the contrary, the terms examples and exemplary and the like are used to present concepts with specific manners.
[0032] The swing mechanisms of the electric recliners bring the iron frames to swing back and forth. But the current swing mechanisms are usually exclusively designed based on the structures of the iron frames to be borne and thus the swing mechanisms are not universal, and cannot bear multiple types of iron frame structures. Even if the swing mechanisms can be compatible with multiple types of iron frames, the swing mechanisms are relatively poor in coordination between back-forth swing amplitude and up-down fluctuation distance during swing process due to structural limitation of the swing mechanisms, making it difficult to realize stable swing.
[0033] Therefore, in order to address the above technical issues, it is necessary to design a swing mechanism which can not only adapt to different types of recliner iron frames but also effectively coordinate the relationship between back-forth swing amplitude and up-down fluctuation in the swing process, thereby realizing stable swing effect.
[0034] In this embodiment, an approximate inverted-trapezoidal structure is constructed by using a suspension point A, a suspension point B, a hinging position C and a hinging position D, so as to realize limitation for a back-forth swing distance and a up-down fluctuation distance. When an iron frame is mounted to the swing mechanism, bottom support positions of iron frame left and right sheets, for example, support ends, can correspond to iron frame connection positions of bearing pieces, so as to improve the mounting compatibility of the iron frame and hence achieve consistent swing effect in spite of being mounted to different types of iron frames.
[0035] It should be noted that similar numerals and letters in the following drawings refer to similar items, and therefore, once one item is defined in one drawing, there is no need to define and interpret it further in the subsequent drawings. Therefore, in the drawings, in order to effectively describe the technical contents, the thicknesses of the parts can be overstated or understated.
[0036] Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be detailed below in combination with the drawings. In case of no conflicts, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be mutually combined.
[0037] As shown in
[0038] In some embodiments, in a practical use process, because a long reserved space is provided at a side of the hinging position C away from the leg side of the iron frame and at a side of the hinging position D facing toward the back side of the iron frame respectively on the bearing pieces 320, different models of iron frame left sheet 400a and iron frame right sheet 400b can be mounted based on actual requirements to form a complete recliner iron frame structure.

[0053] For example, in a case of different eccentric distances, the corresponding values H1 and L are shown in Table below:
TABLE-US-00001 Eccentric distance a (mm) H1(mm) H2(mm) H3(mm) L(mm) L3(mm) L4(mm) 2.5 2.52 113.72 111.2 9.9 23.65 33.55 5 5.04 114.64 109.6 19.8 18.67 38.47 7.5 7.6 115.35 107.75 29.7 13.67 43.37 10 10.18 115.83 105.65 39.62 8.65 48.27 12.5 12.82 116.1 103.28 49.56 3.6 53.16 15 15.53 116.14 100.61 59.52 (1.47) 58.05 17.5 18.36 115.97 97.61 69.51 (6.56) 62.95 20 21.32 115.57 94.25 79.55 (11.67) 67.88
[0054] In the above table, H2 is a height difference of the point C moving to the lowest point and the point A in
[0055] L3 is a horizontal moving distance of the hinging position C moving to the extreme of the leg side in the direction F1 relative to the vertical line of the suspension point A in
[0056] From the above Table, it can be seen that the correspondence of the range of the height difference H1 relative to the eccentric distance a is (a, 2a). The correspondence of the range of the swing value L relative to the eccentric distance a is (3a, 5a).
[0057] With reference to
[0058] With reference to
[0059] The relevant parameter constraint condition of the approximate inverted trapezoidal structure formed by the suspension point A, the suspension point B, the hinging position C and the hinging position D can be referred to the descriptions of the above embodiments and will not be repeated herein.
[0060] In some embodiments, the specific implementation of the drive mechanism 500 can be referred to the above descriptions.
[0061] With reference to
[0062] In some embodiments, at least two support ends of each of the iron frame left and right sheets are respectively connected with a first iron frame connection position at a side of the hinging position C away from the leg side of the iron frame and a second iron frame connection position at a side of the hinging position D facing toward the back side of the iron frame.
[0063] With reference to
[0064] Since the bearing pieces can be disposed independently or integrally with the recliner iron frame, the specific iron frame connection positions can be adjusted based on actual situations as long as the suspension point A, the suspension point B, the hinging position C and the hinging position D can form an approximate inverted trapezoid, with the bearing pieces 320 located at the lower part of the inverted trapezoid. In this way, the corresponding technical effects of the swing mechanism can be realized.
[0065] To sum up, in the swing mechanism and the electric recliner, an approximate inverted trapezoidal structure is formed by the suspension point A, the suspension point B, the hinging position C and the hinging position D to realize limitation on the back-forth swing distance and the up-down fluctuation distance. When an iron frame is mounted on the swing mechanism, the support positions at the bottom of the iron frame left and right sheets can correspond to the iron frame connection positions on the bearing pieces, so as to improve the mounting compatibility of the iron frame, achieving the same swing effect with different iron frames.
[0066] In the above discussions, unless otherwise stated, the terms about, around, basically and the like for descriptions of values represent the values can change within +/10%.
[0067] In the present disclosure, when it is said that a first component is above a second component, it means the first component may be directly formed on the second component or a third component is interposed between the first and second components. Besides, in the drawings, for the purpose of effective descriptions of the technical contents, the thickness of the components may be overstated or understated.
[0068] In the present disclosure, when an element or layer is referred to as located at, engaged to, connected to, attached to or coupled to another element or layer, such element or layer may be directly located at, engaged to, connected to, attached to or coupled to another element or layer or an intermediate element or layer is present therebetween. To the contrary, when one element is referred to as directly above another element or layer, directly engaged to, directly connected to, directly attached to or directly coupled to another element or layer, there may be no intermediate element or layer. Other words for describing the relationship of the elements shall be interpreted in similar way (e.g. between corresponds to directly between, and adjacent corresponds to directly adjacent and the like). As used herein, the term and/or includes any and all combinations of one or more listed associated items.
[0069] In the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more details by referring to drawings. As used herein, when the expression, for example, at least one of . . . precedes a series of elements, it modifies the whole series of elements rather than modifies any individual element in the series. For example, the expression at last one of a, b and c shall be understood as including only a, only b, only c, both of a and b, both of a and c, both of b and c, or all of a, b and c.
[0070] The terms used herein are used only to describe particular exemplary configurations rather than to make any limitation. As used herein, the articles a, an and the in singular forms can also be intended to include plural forms unless otherwise indicated clearly. The terms include, contain and have are inclusive and therefore the presence of the specified features, steps, operations, elements and/or components does not preclude presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components and/or their combinations.
[0071] Inspired by the above ideal embodiments of the present disclosure, those skilled in the arts may, with the above descriptions, make various variations and modifications without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present disclosure. The technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the contents of the above specification but determined by the appended claims.
