[0016] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: Under the cooperation of the guide rod and the guide groove, during the flipping adjustment of the rear side of the backrest plate, the whole backrest plate will be lifted or lowered, achieving the effect of height adjustment, so as to improve the comfort of users with cervical discomfort when using the present invention. Description of the Drawings

[0017] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the adjustable headrest bracket provided in this embodiment in the retracted state;

[0018] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the adjustable headrest bracket provided in this embodiment in the opened state. Detailed Embodiment

[0019] Combined with Figures 1 to 2 The adjustable headrest bracket of the present invention will be further described.

[0020] An adjustable headrest bracket, characterized in that: it includes a backrest plate 3 and a bracket group 2. The bracket group 2 includes a positioning rod 21, a front rotating rod 23, a rear rotating rod 22 and a linkage rod 24. As Figure 1 shown, the front rotating rod 23 and the rear rotating rod 22 cross each other, and there is a guide groove 221 extending along the length direction of the rear rotating rod 22 on the rear rotating rod 22, and a guide pin cooperating with the guide groove 221 on the front rotating rod 23. The lower end of the front rotating rod 23 is pivotally connected to the front end of the positioning rod 21, the upper end is pivotally connected to the lower end of the linkage rod 24, the upper end of the linkage rod 24 is pivotally connected to the rear side of the backrest plate, the lower end of the rear rotating rod 22 is pivotally connected to the rear end of the positioning rod 21, and the upper end is pivotally connected to the front side of the backrest plate.

[0021] The upper surface of the backrest plate 3 is used for installing a headrest soft package, and a connecting rod 31 is connected to the lower surface of the backrest plate 3 by bolts. The upper ends of the rear rotating rod 22 and the linkage rod 24 are respectively pivotally connected to the front and rear ends of the connecting rod 31.

[0022] There are two sets of the bracket group 2 and they are arranged in a mirror image.

[0023] Between two sets of support groups 2, a first motor tube 41, a second motor tube 42 and a push rod motor (not shown in the drawings) are also provided; both ends of the first motor tube 41 are respectively fixed at positions near the front end of two positioning rods 21 by screwing or welding, and both ends of the second motor tube 42 are respectively fixed at positions near the upper end of two front rotating rods 23 by welding or screwing; both ends of the push rod motor are respectively pivotally connected to pivot plates 43 on the first motor tube 41 and the second motor tube 42.

[0024] During specific use, the present invention is installed at the top position of the backrest frame. That is, the backrest frame includes two mounting plates 1, and two sets of support groups 2 are respectively fixed on the inner side walls of the two mounting plates 1 through corresponding positioning rods 21. At the same time, the backrest 3 is located above the mounting plates 1. The backrest 3 has an open position and a retracted position relative to the backrest frame. In the retracted position, the backrest is parallel to the top surface of the mounting plate 1 and is supported on the top surface of the mounting plate 1; in the open position, the rear side of the backrest 3 is flipped forward to be nearly perpendicular to the top surface of the mounting frame, and the lower side of the backrest 3 in this state abuts against the positioning groove 11 at the front side of the top of the mounting plate 1 to achieve balance.

[0025] During the process from the retracted position to the open position, there is a front-stage opening process and a rear-stage opening process. During the front-stage opening process, the angle between the front rotating rod 23 and the positioning rod 21 gradually increases to 45 degrees. During this process, the upper end of the rear rotating rod 22 will swing backward and upward under the linkage of the guide rod and the guide groove 221, so as to drive the entire backrest 3 to be lifted; during the rear-stage opening process, the included angle between the front rotating rod 23 and the positioning rod 21 gradually increases from 45 degrees to about 90 degrees. During this process, the upper end of the rear rotating rod 22 will swing forward and downward, so that the entire backrest 3 will move downward; on the contrary, when moving from the open position to the retracted position, the entire backrest will first be lifted and then lowered. During the opening and retracting process of the backrest 3, the comfort of a person with cervical discomfort when leaning their head on the backrest 3 can be improved.

[0026] During the above opening process, in order to avoid interference between the front rotating rod 23, the rear rotating rod 22, the linkage rod 24 and the mounting plate 1, the positioning rod 21 is bent and forms a first connecting piece 211 on the inner side and a second connecting piece 212 on the outer side. The second connecting piece 212 on the outer side is installed on the mounting plate 1 by bolts, and the first connecting plate on the inner side is fixed to the first motor tube 41. Under this structure, the first connecting piece 211, the front rotating rod 23, the rear rotating rod 22, the linkage rod 24 and the mounting plate 1 will be isolated to avoid mutual interference.
