Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an adaptive portable fitting chair lumbar support and a seat, belonging to the technical field of seat components and seats. Background Art

[0002] As furniture closely related to human life, chairs bring convenience to human work and meet the needs of daily desk work. The lumbar support of existing chairs is either fixed and cannot be adjusted, or needs to be manually adjusted to achieve a position suitable for the back posture. However, during the adjustment process of the existing lumbar support, the user's back is away from the lumbar support (the reason is that the components that drive the lumbar support to rotate mostly use torsion springs that cannot support the weight of the back). Therefore, the user can only rely on repeated adjustments and repeated leaning. This method is extremely inconvenient and often cannot be adjusted to the most comfortable position. After adjustment, the lumbar support posture is fixed and will not change with the user's sitting posture, resulting in discomfort for long-term leaning. In addition, the existing lumbar support adjustment often changes the posture by rotating the hinge angle of the lumbar support and the seat cushion. When the adjustment range is large, it seriously affects the user's experience.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement date of July 12, 2022 and authorization announcement number CN216932462U discloses a self-adhering back-chasing lumbar support, including a support frame, a lumbar support board, and a support rod. The upper end of the support rod is hinged with an upper hinged accessory, one end of the upper hinged accessory is fixed to the middle part of the support frame, and the lower end of the support rod is hinged with a lower hinged accessory. The lumbar support board is fixed to the lower hinged accessory by bolts, and a drive assembly is hinged on the support frame, and one end of the drive assembly is hinged to the support rod through a hinge column. The utility model drives the pneumatic support rod (or hydraulic telescopic rod or electric telescopic rod) to move through a switch and drives the support rod to rotate around its upper end hinge point. Since the support rod has two parts that will ensure that the lumbar support board moves forward at an unchanged elevation angle under the action of reverse torsion, the lumbar support board can always be close to the user's waist and back, providing stable support for it and helping it to maintain a good sitting posture. The utility model still has the following shortcomings: it can only ensure that the lumbar support plate moves forward at a constant elevation angle under the action of reverse twisting by two supporting rods, so that the lumbar support plate can always be close to the user's waist and back, provide a stable support force and help the user maintain a good sitting posture, but cannot achieve stepless adjustment of the elevation angle of the waist and back body, and cannot achieve stepless adjustment of the circumferential multi-angle of the waist and back to facilitate the user to adjust the sitting posture adaptively. The utility model aims to solve this technical problem by changing the adjustment structure of the lumbar support and changing the assembly connection method to achieve adaptive adjustment of the lumbar support.
