SPECIFIC EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The invention is further described in detail hereinafter with reference to the FIG. 1 to FIG. 4.

Office seating refers to a variety of chairs that are equipped for work convenience in daily work and social activities. Common office chairs include executive chairs, medium-back office chairs, guest chairs, staff chairs, conference chairs, visitor chairs, training chairs and so on. Office chairs are usually composed of several parts, such as seat, base plate, back plate and so on. In order to meet the increasing demand for people's sitting experience, the office chair began to develop in the direction of multifunctionalization. The adjustment device of the office chair is the core mechanical structure of the office chair to realize the adjustment function. The common office chair integrates the function of adjusting the angle of the back plate and the height of the base plate, which can meet people's daily needs. However, when the human body sits on this kind of office chair for a long time, due to the fixed position between the back plate and the base plate, the human spine and cervical vertebrae maintain the same posture for a long time, and the lumbar and back of the user will be fatigued. In order to further enhance the sitting comfort of office seat and reduce the fatigue caused by long time sitting, the invention provides a seat back plate adjustment device.

The embodiment discloses a seat back plate adjustment device.

The adjustment mechanism 3 is capable of changing the tilt angle of the back plate and fixing it at a specific position, and the swinging mechanism 2 is capable of swinging between the back plate and the seat cushion, which facilitates the user to change the seating position and enhances the sitting comfort.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, the connection mechanism 1 includes a base plate 11, a cover plate 12, and a screw 13, wherein four corners of the base plate 11 are provided with bolt holes, and positioning bolts are installed in the bolt holes, and the base plate 11 is fixed to the cushion by means of bolt connection. The cover plate 12 is horizontally placed on the base plate 11, and the screw 13 penetrates the cover plate 12 and the base plate 11 to fix the base plate 11 and the cover plate 12. The cover plate 12 is disposed on the seat base lifting cylinder, and reinforcing bars 122 are provided on partial sidewall of the cover plate 12 that is sleeved on the seat base lifting cylinder, the number of the reinforcing bars 122 is four, and four reinforcing bars 122 are uniformly distributed along circumferential direction of the seat base lifting cylinder. The reinforcing bars 122 can increase the load-bearing capacity of the cover plate 12. The cover plate 12 is provided with a mounting cylinder 121, and the diameter size of the mounting cylinder 121 gradually increases along the direction away from the cover plate 12. One end of the screw 13 is provided with an end block for limiting, and another end thereof is provided with a threaded hole.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4, the swinging mechanism 2 includes a spring support 21, swinging springs 22, an insertion plate 23 and a rotating shaft 24; wherein the spring support 21 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 11 by means of bolt connection, and the swinging springs 22 are mounted in the spring support 21. The number of swinging springs 22 is two. Two swinging springs 22 are symmetrically disposed about a geometric center of the spring support 21. A part on the spring support 21 corresponding to the position where the swinging springs 22 are abutted against the spring support 21 protrudes outward to form protrusions 211, and the concave structure inside the protrusion 211 serves as a limiting function for the swinging springs 22. The rotating shaft 24 runs through the insertion plate 23 and the spring support 21, enabling rotation between the insertion plate 23 and the spring support 21 in the direction of an axis of the rotating shaft 24.

Referring to FIG. 4, the insertion plate 23 includes a positioning plate 231, extension plates 232, support plates 233, a limiting bump 234, and gaskets 235. Wherein the positioning plate 231 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes connect to the bolts of back plate. The extension plates 232 are symmetrically provided about the positioning plate 231, and the extension plates 232 are perpendicular to the plane where the positioning plate 231 is located, and are inserted in the mounting slot of the back plate. The number of support plates 233 are two, and both of two support plates 233 are vertically provided on the positioning plate 231, and the support plates 233 are provided with circular through holes.

After the seat back plate is unlocked, its rotation angle can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, and after adjusting to a suitable angle, the back plate can be locked between the back plate and the seat cushion.

The implementation principle of a seat back plate adjustment device of an embodiment of the application is as follows: the user pushes the adjusting rod 31 in the direction of the axis of the adjusting rod 31, the adjusting rod 31 can drive the metal strip to rotate around the axis, and the stopper fixed on the metal strip can be stuck in or slid out of the slot of the fixture block 32, so as to realize function of adjusting the angle of the back plate. By rotating around the direction of the axis of the adjusting rod 31, the adjusting rod 31 can squeeze the release button of the seat base lifting cylinder, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the seat cushion. When the user needs to change the seating position for a long period of time, the insertion plate 23 connected to the back plate can overcome elasticity of the swinging springs 22 to rotate under the action of the user's back force; after the seating position is restored, the insertion plate 23 can be reset to the initial position under the action of the swinging springs 22, so that the back plate returns to the initial position under the action of the insertion plate 23. Thereby, the inventive purpose of adjusting the user's sitting posture and improving the sitting experience is realized.

The invention and its embodiments have been described above, but the description is not limited thereto; only one embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings, and the actual structure is not limited thereto.
