[0021] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a seat with an adjustable seat inclination angle is provided, the seat mainly consists of a base 1 and a seat plate 2 which is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the base 1, wherein arc-shaped toothed plates 3 are mounted on the left and right sides of the seat plate 2, a mounting seat 1a is provided on the upper end of the base 1, and mounting plates 1b extending upward are provided on both sides of the mounting seat 1a, and gears 4 meshing with the toothed portions 3a of the arc-shaped toothed plates 3 are rotatably mounted on the outer walls of the mounting plates 1b, a mounting cavity 1c is formed between the two groups of mounting plates 1b, a driving mechanism 5 is arranged in the mounting cavity 1c, the driving mechanism 5 comprises a motor 5a, a reduction mechanism 5b and a driving shaft 5c which are connected in sequence, wherein the driving shaft 5c passes through the mounting plate 1b along the width direction of the mounting seat 1a, and is fixedly connected to the gear 4 in a spline manner, at least two guide wheels 6 are respectively mounted on the outer walls of the two groups of mounting plates 1b, and an arc-shaped table edge 3b which is in rolling contact with the guide wheel 6 is provided on the arc-shaped toothed plate 3. When the inclination angle of the seat plate 2 needs to be adjusted, the motor 5a is started, and the output power generated by the motor 5a drives the gear 4 to rotate via the reduction mechanism 5b and the drive shaft 5c, thereby driving the arc-shaped toothed plate 3 to move on the two guide wheels 6, that is, driving the seat plate 2 to rotate back and forth relative to the base 1, thereby realizing the adjustment of the inclination angle of the seat plate 2.

[0023] For example Figure 2 As shown, the two ends of the arc-shaped tooth plate 3 are respectively located at the lower side of the front and rear ends of the seat plate 2, so that the arc-shaped tooth plate 3 can be supported on the lower side of the seat plate 2 in an inverted arched manner, thereby improving the reliability of the force support of the seat as a whole, so as to achieve the purpose of extending the service life of the seat. In this embodiment, the gear 4 is externally meshed with the tooth portion 3a of the arc-shaped tooth plate 3. Of course, according to different structural layouts, the gear 4 and the tooth portion 3a can also be driven by internal meshing.

[0024] When the inclination angle of the seat plate 2 is adjusted, in order to keep the arc-shaped toothed plate 3 and the gear 4 always in meshing and ensure the reliability of the rotation of the seat plate 2, the mounting plate 1b is provided with an anti-slip guide component 8 at the position corresponding to the inner diameter edge of the arc-shaped toothed plate 3, and the anti-slip guide component 8 is provided with a trapezoidal annular groove 8a, and the inner diameter edge of the arc-shaped toothed plate 3 is provided with a positioning portion 3c adapted to the trapezoidal annular groove 8a. Furthermore, the anti-slip guide component 8 is adapted to the number of guide wheels 6, and is respectively located above each guide wheel 6. The anti-slip guide component 8 can be fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 1b, or it can be rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 1b in the form of a roller.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent flexible items such as clothes from getting stuck in the meshing position of the gear 4 and to increase the safety performance of the seat, a protective cover plate 7 is installed on the outer side of the mounting plate 1b, and at least part of the arc-shaped tooth plate 3 and the gear 4 are located between the mounting plate 1b and the protective cover plate 7.

[0026] For example Figure 1As shown, the base 1 also includes a vertically arranged main load-bearing column 1d. After the seat plate 2 is adjusted backward to a certain inclination angle, a human body sits on the seat, and more of the human body's weight is loaded on the rear side of the seat plate 2. At this time, in order to ensure the effectiveness of the engagement between the tooth portion 3a of the tooth plate 3 and the gear 4, the axial center lines of the two anti-slip guide components 8 are both located on the front side of the seat plate 2 beyond the main load-bearing column 1d.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make various similar expressions without violating the purpose and claims of the present invention, and such changes all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
