Title: Chair backrest mechanism, chair frame and chair

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. § 119 from China Patent Application No. 202121167996.7, filed on May 27, 2021, titled “CHAIR BACKREST MECHANISM, CHAIR FRAME AND CHAIR” in the China National Intellectual Property Administration, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. 
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure generally relates to chairs, and in particular, to a chair backrest mechanism, a chair frame and a chair. 
     BACKGROUND 
     At present, a chair frame is provided to adjust sitting postures of a user. Such chair frame includes a chair backrest mechanism configured to adjust a supporting angle of a backrest. An angle of the chair backrest mechanism relative to a fixed base or the ground can change as the chair frame switches among three different postures of the user which can include sitting, leisure and lying. 
     The chair backrest mechanism may include a back supporting member which can rotate relative to a hip and leg supporting member. In practice, when the back supporting member rotates relative to the hip and leg supporting member, an end of the back supporting member away from the hip and leg supporting member will produce a backward motion component in the horizontal direction, thus driving the chair backrest to move backward, which leads to interference and collision between the chair backrest and an indoor wall or an indoor facility, causing inconvenience to the user. 
     SUMMARY 
     Thus, it is desired to provide a chair backrest mechanism, a chair frame and a chair. 
     The present disclosure provides a chair backrest mechanism including a back supporting member, a hip and leg supporting member, a swing traction unit, a linkage member and an auxiliary traction member. The hip and leg supporting member includes a leg supporting portion and a hip supporting portion. The back supporting member is movably connected to the hip and leg supporting member by the swing traction unit, the auxiliary traction member is pivotally connected to the swing traction unit, the auxiliary traction member includes a first pin joint portion and a second pin joint portion, the first pin joint portion is pivotally connected to the hip supporting portion, the second pin joint portion is pivotally connected to a first end of the linkage member, and a second end of the linkage member away from the second pin joint portion is pivotally connected to the back supporting member. The swing traction unit is connected to a driving mechanism. The swing traction unit is capable of driving the back supporting member to move towards the leg supporting portion under a forward driving of the driving mechanism, or driving the back supporting member to move away from the leg supporting portion under a reverse driving of the driving mechanism. 
     The chair backrest mechanism provided in the present disclosure can improve a connecting relationship between the back supporting member and the hip and leg supporting member by adding the linkage member, the auxiliary traction member and the swing traction unit. When the chair backrest mechanism switches from a leisure state to a lying state, the back supporting member is driven to produce a forward motion component in the horizontal direction, so as to drive the chair backrest to move towards the front of a human body and give way to a wall or facility behind the human body. It overcomes the interference and collision between the chair backrest and an indoor wall or an indoor facility. 
     In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the swing traction unit includes a swing member and a backrest traction member pivotally connected to each other, the swing member is further pivotally connected to the hip supporting portion and configured to connect to the driving mechanism, and the backrest traction member is further pivotally connected to the back supporting member. The auxiliary traction member further includes a third pin joint portion fixed relative to the first pin joint portion and the second pin joint portion, and the auxiliary traction member is pivotally connected to the backrest traction member by the third pin joint portion. 
     In this way, the swing member can indirectly transmit a power of the driving mechanism to the backrest traction member, and the backrest traction member can produce a larger swing traction at an end away from the swing member thereof under the driving of the swing member, so that a motion traction and a force transmission on the back supporting member are better, and the back supporting member gives way to the wall or facility behind the user with a larger displacement. At the same time, the power of the driving mechanism can also be indirectly transmitted to the auxiliary traction member, and the auxiliary traction member further provides an auxiliary traction to the back supporting member. 
     In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the auxiliary traction member includes a first rod and a second rod, and the first pin joint portion and the third pin joint portion are located at both ends of the first rod respectively. The second rod is convex on a side of the first rod, an oblique angle is formed between the first rod and the second rod, and the second pin joint portion is located at an end of the second rod away from the first rod. 
     In this way, the second rod is convex outward along the side of the first rod and an angle is formed between the first rod and the second rod, resulting in an increase in a length of a force arm of the auxiliary traction member when the auxiliary traction member transfers traction force to the linkage member, which is conducive to reducing an interaction force between the linkage member and the auxiliary traction member, and thus reducing wear and crushing between the linkage member and the auxiliary traction member. 
     In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first rod is integrated with the second rod; and/or a length of the second rod is less than that of the first rod, and a distance between an end of the second rod connected to the first rod and the third pin joint portion is at least three times longer than a distance between the end of the second rod connected to the first rod and the first pin joint portion. 
     In this way, an overall strength and a reliability of the auxiliary traction member are better, and a structure of the auxiliary traction member is conducive to increasing a displacement of the linkage member relative to the hip and leg supporting member in the vertical direction, while reducing a displacement of the linkage member relative to the hip and leg supporting member in the horizontal direction at the same time, driving the back supporting member to rotate faster in order to coordinate an angle adjustment and a horizontal forward movement of the chair backrest. 
     In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the linkage member includes a third rod and a fourth rod. A first end of the third rod is pivotally connected to the back supporting member, a second end of the third rod is fixed to the fourth rod, an end of the fourth rod away from the third rod is pivotally connected to the second pin joint portion, and a bending angle is formed between the third rod and the fourth rod. 
     In this way, a structure of the linkage member can be better adapted to the structure of the auxiliary traction member. 
     In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the hip supporting portion, the swing traction unit and the auxiliary traction member form a first connecting rod mechanism, which is configured to drive an end connected to the back supporting member of the swing traction unit to move towards or away from the leg supporting portion. The auxiliary traction member, the swing traction unit, the back supporting member and the linkage member form a second connecting rod mechanism, which is configured to change a supporting angle of the back supporting member. 
     In this way, a motion trajectory of the chair backrest mechanism provided in the present disclosure is more accurate, which can ensure that the motion trajectory of the chair backrest mechanism still has good consistency and accuracy after using repeatedly. In addition, it also allows the chair backrest mechanism to respond more quickly and sensitively to a power output of the driving mechanism. 
     The present disclosure further provides a chair frame including a fixed base, a driving mechanism, an adjusting mechanism for sitting postures and the chair backrest mechanism as described above. The fixed base is configured to mount the driving mechanism and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, the driving mechanism is connected to the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures for driving, and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures is movably connected to the hip and leg supporting member and the swing traction unit. 
     In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the chair frame further includes a footrest extension mechanism which is pivotally connected to the leg supporting portion, the driving mechanism is connected to the footrest extension mechanism for driving, and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures is connected to the footrest extension mechanism for following moving thereof. The driving mechanism is capable of running forward to drive the footrest extension mechanism to extend relative to the hip and leg supporting member, and driving the swing traction unit to move by the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, resulting in driving the back supporting member to move towards the leg supporting portion, or the driving mechanism is capable of running in reverse to drive the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, resulting in making the swing traction unit to drive the back supporting member to move away from the leg supporting portion and drive the footrest extension mechanism to retract relative to the hip and leg supporting member. 
     In this way, a power produced by the driving mechanism is transmitted to the swing traction unit through the footrest extension mechanism and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures in turn, achieving a linkage operation of the footrest extension mechanism and the chair backrest mechanism, resulting in that a leg extension and a back reclining of the user are carried out simultaneously, or a leg retraction and a back forward tilting are carried out simultaneously, thus further enhancing coordination of movement, comfort and convenience of the chair frame. 
     In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the chair frame further includes a first transmission rocker arm, a first transmission connecting rod and a second transmission connecting rod, the first transmission rocker arm is rotationally mounted on the hip and leg supporting member, both ends of the first transmission connecting rod are pivotally connected to a first end of the first transmission rocker arm and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures respectively, and both ends of the second transmission connecting rod are pivotally connected to a second end of the first transmission rocker arm and the footrest extension mechanism respectively. 
     The present disclosure further provides a chair including the chair frame as described above.

The terminology used in the description of the present disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the disclosure. The term “or/and” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. 
       FIG.  1    is a schematic diagram of a chair frame  200  in a lying state in an embodiment of the present disclosure.  FIG.  2    is a schematic diagram of part of the structure of the chair frame  200  in  FIG.  1   .  FIG.  3    is a schematic diagram of the chair frame  200  in a leisure state in an embodiment of the present disclosure.  FIG.  4    is a schematic diagram of the chair frame  200  in a sitting state in an embodiment of the present disclosure.  FIG.  5    is a schematic diagram of part of the structure of the chair frame  200  in  FIG.  1   . 
     The present disclosure provides a chair backrest mechanism  100  mounted on the chair frame  200 . The chair frame  200  is placed on the ground by a fixed base  210  thereof, and the chair backrest mechanism  100  is configured to connect to a shoulder and neck supporting member (not shown). The chair backrest mechanism  100  may move relative to the fixed base  210  in the chair frame  200 , changing an angle between the shoulder and neck supporting member and the ground, and thus changing a supporting angle for a back of the user. 
     Specifically, the chair backrest mechanism  100  in the present disclosure is applied to the chair frame  200  which is movable and provided with a footrest extension mechanism  250 . The chair frame  200  has a sitting state corresponding to the back of the user being straight and the leg of the user being retracted, a leisure state corresponding to the back of the user being tilted and the leg of the user being extended, and a lying state corresponding to the back of the user being lied down and the leg of the user being extended. 
     The chair backrest mechanism  100  includes a back supporting member  10  and a hip and leg supporting member  20  connected movably. The back supporting member  10  is mainly configured to bear a weight of the lower back and support the waist of the user, and includes a backrest mounting tappet  11  for mounting the shoulder and neck supporting member. The hip and leg supporting member  20  is mainly configured to bear a weight of legs and the hip of the user, and includes a leg supporting member  21  and a hip supporting member  22  fixed relative to each other. In an embodiment, an angle is formed between the leg supporting member  21  and the hip supporting member  22 , and a shape of the hip and leg supporting member  20  is substantially L-shaped. 
     When the chair frame is switched among the sitting state, the leisure state and the lying state, the back supporting member  10  rotates relative to the hip and leg supporting member  20 . In the sitting state as shown in  FIG.  4   , an angle between the backrest mounting tappet  11  of the back supporting member  10  and the fixed base  210  reaches a maximum, and the back of the user is nearly straight in the vertical direction. In the leisure state as shown in  FIG.  3   , the angle between the backrest mounting tappet  11  and the fixed base  210  decreases, and the back of the user is tilted backward. In the lying state as shown in  FIG.  1    and  FIG.  2   , the angle between the backrest mounting tappet  11  and the fixed base  210  further decreases and reaches a minimum, and the back of the user is close to the horizontal direction. 
     A conventional chair backrest mechanism includes a conventional back supporting member which may rotate relative to a conventional hip and leg supporting member. In practice, when the conventional back supporting member rotates relative to the conventional hip and leg supporting member, an end of the conventional back supporting member away from the conventional hip and leg supporting member will also produce a backward motion component in the horizontal direction, thus driving the chair backrest to a rear of a human body, which leads to interference and collision between the conventional chair backrest and an indoor wall or an indoor facility, causing inconvenience to the user. 
     Therefore, the chair backrest mechanism provided in the present disclosure further includes a swing traction unit  30 , a linkage member  40  and an auxiliary traction member  50 . The back supporting member  10  is movably connected to the hip and leg supporting member  20  by the swing traction unit  30 , and the auxiliary traction member  50  is pivotally connected to the swing traction unit  30 . The auxiliary traction member  50  includes a first pin joint portion  51  and a second pin joint portion  52 , the first pin joint portion  51  is pivotally connected to the hip supporting portion  22 , the second pin joint portion  52  is pivotally connected to a first end of the linkage member  40 , and a second end away from the second pin joint portion  52  of the linkage member  40  is pivotally connected to the back supporting member  10 . 
     The chair frame  200  is further provided with a driving mechanism configured to provide power for adjusting states of the chair frame  200  and changing an angle of the chair backrest mechanism  100 . The driving mechanism is connected to the swing traction unit  30 , and the driving mechanism is capable of running forward to drive the back supporting member  10  to move towards the leg supporting member  21 , i.e., move towards the front of the user. Alternatively, the driving mechanism is capable of running in reverse to drive the back supporting member  10  to move away from the leg supporting member  21 , i.e., move towards the rear of the user. 
     It should be noted that a directional reference to the front of the user and the rear of the user involved in the present disclosure refers to the front or the rear of the user after the user sits/lies on the chair frame  200 . 
     The present disclosure provides a chair backrest mechanism  100 . The chair backrest mechanism  100  may improve a connecting relationship between the back supporting member  10  and the hip and leg supporting member  20  by adding the linkage member  40 , the auxiliary traction member  50  and the swing traction unit  30 . When the chair backrest mechanism  100  is switched from the leisure state to the lying state, the back supporting member  10  is driven to produce a forward motion component in the horizontal direction, so as to drive the chair backrest to move towards the front of a human body and give way to a wall or facility behind the human body. It overcomes the interference and collision between the chair backrest and the indoor wall or the indoor facility. 
     Referring to  FIG.  1   ,  FIG.  2    and  FIG.  9   , in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the auxiliary traction member  50  includes a first rod  501  and a second rod  502 , and the first rod  501  is integrated with the second rod  502 . The second rod  502  is convex on a side of the first rod  501  and an oblique angle is formed between the first rod  501  and the second rod  502 . A first end of the first rod  501  is provided with the first pin joint portion  51 , a second end of the first rod is provided with the third pin joint portion  53 . An end away from the first rod  501  of the second rod  502  is provided with the second pin joint portion  52 . 
     Furthermore, the swing traction unit  30  includes a swing member  31  and a backrest traction member  32  pivotally connected to each other, the swing member  31  is further pivotally connected to an end of the hip supporting portion  22  close to the leg supporting portion  21  and configured to connect to the driving mechanism and transfer the power to the whole chair backrest mechanism  100 . An end of the backrest traction member  32  away from the swing member  31  is pivotally connected to the back supporting member  10  and configured to transfer the power of the swing member  31  to the back supporting member  10  and the auxiliary traction member  50 . 
     The first pin joint portion  51  is pivotally connected to an end away from the leg supporting portion  21  of hip supporting portion  22 , the second pin joint portion  52  is pivotally connected to the first end away from the back supporting member  10  of the linkage member  40 , and the third pin joint portion  53  is pivotally connected to the backrest traction member  32 . A pivot point between the third pin joint portion  53  and the backrest traction member  32  is located between a pivot point between the backrest traction member  32  and the swing member  31  and a pivot point between the backrest traction member  32  and the back supporting member  10 . 
     In the above embodiment, the hip supporting portion  22 , the swing member  31 , the backrest traction member  32  and the auxiliary traction member  50  form a first connecting rod mechanism. The first connecting rod mechanism can be regarded as a four-rod connecting mechanism and configured to drive an end of the backrest traction member  32  connected to the back supporting member  10  to move towards or away from the leg supporting portion  21 . In other words, the backrest traction member  32 , driven by the swing member  31 , may produce a component that drives the back supporting member  10  to move towards the front or the rear of the user. 
     Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the auxiliary traction member  50 , the swing traction unit  32 , the back supporting member  10  and the linkage member  40  form a second connecting rod mechanism. The second connecting rod mechanism can be regarded as a four-rod connecting mechanism and configured to change a supporting angle of the back supporting member  10 . 
     Specifically, the second connecting rod mechanism may provide power to the linkage member  40  by the auxiliary traction member  50 , which causes the second end of the linkage member  40  connected to the back supporting member  10  to produce a significant motion component of motion in the vertical direction, so as to cause the back supporting member  10  to produce a significant rotation component. When the chair frame  200  is switched from the leisure state to the lying state, the linkage member  40  may quickly drive the backrest mounting tappet  11  of the back supporting member  10  to rotate in a clockwise direction shown in  FIG.  3    to a position shown in  FIG.  2   . 
     In this way, a motion trajectory of the chair backrest mechanism  100  is more accurate, which can ensure that the motion trajectory of the chair backrest mechanism  100  still has good consistency and accuracy after using repeatedly. In addition, it also allows the chair backrest mechanism  100  to respond more quickly and sensitively to a power output of the driving mechanism. 
     Furthermore, referring to  FIG.  1   ,  FIG.  2    and  FIG.  10   , a length of the second rod  502  is less than that of the first rod  501 , and a distance between an end of the second rod  502  connected to the first rod  501  and the third pin joint portion  53  is at least three times longer than a distance between the end of the second rod  502  connected to the first rod  501  and the first pin joint portion  51 . 
     The linkage member  40  includes a third rod  401  and a fourth rod  402  which are integrated and bent. A bending angle is formed between the third rod  401  and the fourth rod  402 , a first end of the third rod  401  is pivotally connected to the back supporting member  10 , a second end of the third rod  401  is fixed to the fourth rod  402 , an end of the fourth rod  402  away from the third rod  401  is pivotally connected to the second pin joint portion  52 . 
       FIG.  6    is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of the chair frame  200  in the sitting state in an embodiment of the present disclosure.  FIG.  7    is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of the chair frame  200  in the leisure state in an embodiment of the present disclosure.  FIG.  8    is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of the chair frame in the lying state in an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
     The present disclosure further provides the chair frame  200  including the fixed base  210 , the chair backrest mechanism  100  as described above, the driving mechanism, an adjusting mechanism for sitting postures and the footrest extension mechanism  250 . 
     The fixed base  210  is configured to mount the driving mechanism and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, and the footrest extension mechanism  250  is pivotally connected to the leg supporting portion  21 . The driving mechanism is connected to the footrest extension mechanism  250  for driving and connected to the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures for driving by the footrest extension mechanism  250 , resulting in that the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures may move with a movement of the footrest extension mechanism  250 . The adjusting mechanism for sitting postures is movably connected to the hip and leg supporting member  20  and the swing traction unit  30 . 
     The driving mechanism is capable of running forward to drive the footrest extension mechanism  250  to extend relative to the hip and leg supporting member  20 , thus the chair frame  200  is switched from the sitting state to the leisure state. The driving mechanism drives the swing traction unit  30  by the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, resulting in allowing the back supporting member  10  to move towards the leg supporting portion  21 , thus the chair frame  200  is switched from the leisure state to the lying state. 
     The driving mechanism is also capable of running in reverse to drive the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, resulting in making the swing traction unit  30  to drive the back supporting member  10  to move away from the leg supporting portion  21 , thus the chair frame  200  is switched from the lying state to the leisure state. Then the driving mechanism may drive the footrest extension mechanism  250  to retract relative to the hip and leg supporting member  20 , thus the chair frame  200  is switched from the leisure state to the sitting state. 
     Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a driving source  224 , a driving body  221 , a driving connecting rod  222  and a torsion connecting rod  223 . The fixed base  210  includes a slide rail  211 , both ends of which are corresponding to the leg supporting portion  21  and the hip supporting portion  22  respectively. The driving source  224  is fixed on the fixed base  210 , the driving body  221  slides with the slide rail  211 , the driving connecting rod  222  is pivotally connected to the driving body  221  and the torsion connecting rod  223 , and the torsion connecting rod  223  is linked with the footrest extension mechanism  250 , resulting in that the footrest extension mechanism  250  may move with a rotation of the torsion connecting rod  223  around an axis of the torsion connecting rod  223 . 
     The driving body  221  is connected to the driving source  224  for following by a belt driving mechanism/chain driving mechanism provided along an extension direction of the slide rail  211 . When the driving source  224  is running forward, the driving source  224  may drive the driving body  221  to slide along the slide rail  211  towards the front of the user, and the driving body  221  may drive the torsion connecting rod  223  to rotate in the clockwise direction as shown in  FIG.  4    by the driving connecting rod  222 , which in turn drives the footrest extension mechanism  250  to extend relative to the hip and leg supporting member  20 . The above process corresponds to a switching of the chair frame  200  from the sitting state to the leisure state, and the hip and leg supporting member  20  moves a preset distance towards the front of the user. 
     After the footrest extension mechanism  250  is extended, the driving source  224  continues to drive the driving body  221  to slide towards the front of the user. At this time, the driving body  221  may drive the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures may drive the swing member  31  to rotate in the clockwise direction as shown in  FIG.  3   , which in turn drives the chair backrest mechanism  100  to open. The above process corresponds to a switching of the chair frame  200  from the leisure state to the lying state. In the leisure state, the hip and leg supporting member  20  further moves a preset distance towards the front of the user. 
     When the driving source  224  reverses, the driving source  224  may drive the driving body  221  to slide along the slide rail  211  towards the rear of the user, and the driving body  221  may drive the torsion connecting rod  223  to rotate in an anticlockwise direction as shown in  FIG.  1    and  FIG.  2    by the driving connecting rod  222 , which in turn drives the footrest extension mechanism  250  to retract relative to the hip and leg supporting member  20 . The above process corresponds to a switching of the chair frame  200  from the lying state to the leisure state, and the hip and leg supporting member  20  moves a preset distance towards the rear of the user. 
     After the footrest extension mechanism  250  is retracted, the driving source  224  continues to drive the driving body  221  to slide towards the rear of the user. At this time, the driving body  221  may drive the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures may drive the swing member  31  to rotate in the anticlockwise direction as shown in  FIG.  3   , which in turn drives the chair backrest mechanism  100  to return to the state as shown in  FIG.  4   . The above process corresponds to a switching of the chair frame  200  from the leisure state to sitting postures, and the hip and leg supporting member  20  further moves a preset distance towards the rear of the user. 
     The adjusting mechanism for sitting postures includes a first supporting arm  231 , a second supporting arm  232 , a first movable connecting rod  233  and a second movable connecting rod  234 . Both ends of the first supporting arm  231  are pivotally connected to the fixed base  210  and the first movable connecting rod  233  respectively, both ends of the second supporting arm  232  are pivotally connected to the fixed base  210  and the swing member  31  respectively, the first movable connecting rod  233  is rotatably mounted on the hip and leg supporting member  20 , and both ends of the second movable connecting rod  234  are pivotally connected to the first movable connecting rod  233  and the swing member  31  respectively. 
     Furthermore, the chair frame  200  further includes a first transmission rocker arm  241 , a first transmission connecting rod  242  and a second transmission connecting rod  243 , the first transmission rocker arm  241  is rotatably mounted on the hip and leg supporting member  20 , both ends of the first transmission connecting rod  242  are pivotally connected to a first end of the first transmission rocker arm  241  and the adjusting mechanism for sitting postures, both ends of the second transmission connecting rod  243  are pivotally connected to a second end of the first transmission rocker arm  241  and the footrest extension mechanism  250 . 
     A pivot point between the first transmission rocker arm  241  and the hip and leg supporting member  20  is located between the first end and the second end of the first transmission rocker arm  241 . In this way, coordination of movement, comfort and convenience of the chair frame  200  are further enhanced. 
     The present disclosure further provides a chair (not shown) including the chair frame  200  as described above.
