A connecting member extending away from the lumbar support is connected to the middle position on the back of the lumbar support, and the middle part of the connecting member is pivotally connected to the mounting tube;

[0008] One end of the telescopic driving member is pivotally connected to the top plate of the backrest frame, and the other end is pivotally connected to the middle position at the rear end of the connecting member to drive the lumbar support to swing.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting member is two symmetrically arranged connecting pieces and a pivot shaft provided at the rear end position of the two connecting pieces for the telescopic driving member to be pivotally connected.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting tube is provided with two fixing plates for connecting the connecting plate, the connecting plate is located on the inner side of the fixing plate, and the axial length of the pivot axis is greater than the distance between the two fixing plates to define the lower limit position of the rear end of the connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, a buffer washer is mounted on the end of the pivot shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the front ends of the two connecting sheets are bent outward to the outside of the fixing sheet to define the lower limit position of the front ends of the connecting sheets.

[0013] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: the connecting piece is located at the center of the back of the lumbar support, and the telescopic driving piece is connected to the center of the connecting piece, so that the lumbar support and the connecting piece are evenly stressed, thereby improving the supporting strength, stability and comfort of the lumbar support. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the backrest lumbar support device provided in this embodiment in an unfolded state;

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the lumbar support device of the backrest provided in this embodiment in a folded state. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] Combination Figures 1 to 2 The backrest lumbar support device of the present invention is further described.

[0017] A backrest lumbar support device, characterized in that it includes a backrest frame 1, a lumbar support assembly 3 and a telescopic drive member 2. The backrest frame 1 is composed of a left side plate, a right side plate, a top plate and a bottom plate. The lumbar support assembly 3 includes a mounting tube 31 and a lumbar support 32, the two ends of the mounting tube 31 are respectively fixed to the left side plate and the right side plate of the backrest frame 1 by bolts, and a connecting member 321 extending back to the lumbar support 32 is connected to the left and right center position of the back side of the lumbar support 32 by bolts or welding, and the connecting member 321 is pivotally connected to the mounting tube 31 near the middle of the length direction. The telescopic drive member 2 is a push rod motor, the motor end of the push rod motor is pivotally connected to the pivot seat of the top plate, and the piston rod end of the push rod motor is pivotally connected to the left and right center position of the rear end of the connecting member 321 to drive the lumbar support 32 to swing.

[0018] Specifically, the connecting member 321 includes two symmetrically arranged connecting pieces 3211 on the left and right and a pivot shaft 3213 disposed at the rear ends of the two connecting pieces 3211 for pivotally connecting the telescopic driving member 2. Two fixing pieces 311 for pivotally connecting the connecting pieces 3211 through a pin shaft are welded on the mounting pipe 31. The connecting pieces 3211 are located inside the fixing pieces 311, and the axial length of the pivot shaft 3213 is greater than the distance between the two fixing pieces 311. When the rear end of the connecting member 321 swings downward to a certain height, the end position of the pivot shaft 3213 will abut against the top surface of the fixing piece 311 to define the lower limit position, i.e., the unfolded position, of the rear end of the connecting piece 3211.

[0019] A buffer washer 3214 is sleeved on the end position of the pivot shaft 3213, and the end of the pivot shaft 3213 abuts against the fixing piece 311 through the buffer washer 3214 to perform shock absorption and buffering.

[0020] The front ends of the fixing pieces 311 are bent upward as 3111, and the front end parts of the two connecting pieces 3211 are bent outward as 3212 to the outside of the fixing pieces 311. When the front ends of the connecting pieces 3211 swing downward to a certain height, the bent parts will abut against the front end surfaces of the fixing pieces 311 to define the lower limit position, i.e., the folded position, of the front ends of the connecting pieces 3211. The upward bending of the front ends of the fixing pieces 311 can provide a front side for the bent parts to support after the front ends of the connecting pieces 3211 swing downward, so as to control the reasonable height of the swing of the lumbar support 32.

[0021] Based on the above structure, the connecting member 321 is located at the central position on the back surface of the lumbar support 32, and the telescopic driving member 2 is connected to the central position of the connecting member 321, which can make the lumbar support 32 and the connecting member 321 receive uniform force, and improve the support strength, stability and comfort of the lumbar support 32.
