At this time, the special-shaped groove 59 opened on the internal fixed plate 54 is combined with the special-shaped sleeve 53 to limit the rotation angle of the armrest arm 4. When the special-shaped groove 59 rotates outside, the internal stop block 58 is combined with the first spring 57 to re-limit the special-shaped sleeve 53 after the armrest arm 4 deviates from the angle, and the offset angle of the armrest arm 4 is determined; When the seat body is reclining and the angle of the seat armrest needs to be adjusted, the paddle 63 is manually pushed up, the shell 3 drops to the bottom outside the control sleeve 2, the paddle 63 is released, and the internal touch rod 62 squeezes the control rod 72 downward. When the lower end of the touch rod 62 is locked with the lowermost opening 65, the paddle 63 is pushed to make the touch rod 62 rotate around the rotating shaft 61. At the same time, the lower end of the touch rod 62 presses the control rod 72 downward to make the locking rod 74 disengage from the locking groove 77. The locking rod 74 at the bottom of the control rod 72 moves downward at the same time, and then the control sleeve 2 and the shell 3 are rotated to drive the locking rod 74 to move downward so that the locking rod 74 disengages from the locking groove 77 and enters the arc groove 76, so that the swing seat 71 swings outside the fixed seat 75 within the control range of the arc groove 76, thereby achieving the purpose of rotating the seat armrest, which is suitable for the seat in the reclining state and realizes a multi-functional seat armrest.
