The main body of the gear slot structure 500 is a long strip slot structure arranged along the front-to-back direction, on which a plurality of inclined slots 501 are arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction, and the slot openings of the inclined slots 501 are arranged rearward, and the locking pin 300 is inserted into the inclined slot 501 to achieve locking, and the elastic member 4 presses the locking pin 300 into the inclined slot 501 through elastic force, and when the movable seat slides forward on the base 1, the locking pin 300 withdraws from the previous inclined slot 501 and is inserted into the subsequent inclined slot 501 under the elastic force of the elastic member 4, thereby achieving forward adjustment of the headrest.

[0033] Continue reading Figure 6-Figure 12In one embodiment of the present invention, an unlocking guide surface 502 inclined from the right front to the left rear is provided on the rear side of the bottom plate 5. The unlocking guide surface 502 is preferably an inclined surface, and a curved surface may also be used. The elastic member 4 is a spring sheet structure, which includes an elastic member pressing portion 400 and an elastic member blocking portion 401.

[0034] Continue reading Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11 In one embodiment of the present invention, a locking guide surface 503 inclined from the left rear to the right front is provided on the front side of the gear slot structure 500. The locking guide surface 503 is located on the left side of the inclined slot 501. The locking guide surface 503 is preferably an inclined surface, and a curved surface can also be used. When the movable seat is unlocked and slides backward to the bottom on the base 1, the limit pin 302 abuts against the locking guide surface 503, and the locking guide surface 503 guides the limit pin 302 to rotate toward the side of the inclined slot 501, so that the locking pin 300 is inserted into the inclined slot 501, and the locking is realized again.

[0035] Continue reading Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig.11 In one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove 100 is provided at the upper end of the base mounting cavity 102 of the base 1. The limiting groove 100 is an arc-shaped groove structure, which coincides with the moving arc trajectory of the limiting pin 302. The limiting pin 302 is slidably plugged into the limiting groove 100. The limiting groove 100 limits the rotation range of the locking member 3 so that the limiting pin 302 will not escape the control of the elastic member 4.

[0036] Continue reading Figure 5 and Figure 6In one embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 101 at the upper end of the base mounting cavity 102, the mounting groove 101 is connected with the limiting groove 100 up and down, the elastic member 4 is embedded in the mounting groove 101, and the limiting pin 302 extends into the mounting groove 101 and is connected with the elastic member 4.

[0037] Continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the chair back mounting mechanism includes a support frame 8 connected to the front and rear adjustment mechanism and a chair back mounting member 9 arranged on the support frame 8. The chair back mounting member 9 is used to connect with the chair back, and its height position on the support frame 8 can be adjusted. Specifically, the chair back mounting member 9 is slidably mounted on the support frame 8 up and down, and the chair back mounting member 9 is locked with the support frame 8 by a conventional locking mechanism. The method for implementing the height adjustment of the chair back mounting member 9 on the support frame 8 is a well-known technology in the art and will not be elaborated on.

[0038] Continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the headrest assembly 7 is connected to the upper cover plate 2 of the movable seat in a manner known in the art to achieve a pitch rotation connection, and the lower end of the base 1 is connected to the support frame 8 of the seat back mounting mechanism in a manner known in the art to achieve a pitch rotation connection.

[0039] The operation of adjusting the front and rear position of the headrest of the present invention is as follows: Under normal circumstances, the locking member 3 is inserted into the inclined groove 501 under the action of the elastic member 4 to achieve locking. Since the opening of the inclined groove 501 is inclined toward the left rear, the movable seat can move forward relative to the base 1 but cannot move backward. When the movable seat moves forward, the locking pin 300 first disengages from the previous inclined groove 501 (when the locking pin 300 disengages from the inclined groove 501, the limit pin 302 does not disengage from the elastic member pressing portion 400), and then inserts into the next inclined groove 501 under the elastic force of the elastic member pressing portion 400, thereby realizing the step-by-step adjustment of the headrest forward. When the movable seat slides forward to the bottom on the base 1, the abutment portion 301 of the locking member 3 abuts against the unlocking guide surface 502. As the movable seat moves forward, the unlocking guide surface 502 guides the locking member 3 to rotate in the direction of disengaging the locking pin 300 from the inclined groove 501, so that the locking pin 300 disengages from the inclined groove 501, and the limit pin 302 disengages from the elastic member pressing portion 400, and the locking pin 300 abuts against the elastic member blocking portion 401, thereby achieving unlocking. At this time, the present invention blocks the locking pin 300 from returning to the inclined groove 501 through the cooperation between the elastic member blocking portion 401 and the limit pin 302. Then, the movable seat is slid backward on the base 1 to the bottom. At this time, the limit pin 302 is against the locking guide surface 503. When the movable seat moves backward, the locking guide surface 503 guides the limit pin 302 to rotate toward the side of the inclined groove 501 and inserts the locking pin 300 into the inclined groove 501. At the same time, the limit pin 302 also passes over the elastic member blocking portion 401 and is connected to the elastic member pressing portion 400. The elastic member pressing portion 400 presses the locking pin 300 in the inclined groove 501 again. At this time, the front and rear adjustment mechanism is locked again.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
