[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0036] The present application embodiment discloses an office chair with adjustable armrests. Figure 1 , including a chair leg 1 set on the ground, a roller 15 is arranged between the chair leg 1 and the ground, the chair leg 1 slides on the ground through the roller 15, a rectangular plate-shaped seat 2 is horizontally fixed on the side of the chair leg 1 away from the ground, a chair back 3 is vertically fixed on one side of the width direction of the seat 2, armrests 4 are arranged on both sides of the length direction of the seat 2, and a flexible pad 14 is arranged on the side of the armrest 4 away from the ground. The flexible pad 14 is made of PU sponge. The PU sponge is soft and elastic and has good wear resistance and tensile strength. It is not easy to be damaged during use. A lifting component 5 is arranged between the armrest 4 and the seat 2. The hand 4 is mounted on the seat 2 through a lifting assembly 5. The lifting assembly 5 includes a mounting platform 51 fixedly mounted on the seat 2 and a driving member 52 mounted on the side of the mounting platform 51 away from the ground. In this embodiment, the driving member 52 is an electric cylinder. The armrest 4 is mounted on the side of the driving member 52 away from the mounting platform 51. When the electric cylinder is started, the piston rod of the electric cylinder drives the armrest 4 to slide toward or away from the seat 2. The armrest 4 is driven to slide toward or away from the seat 2 by the driving member 52, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the armrest 4. The user can adjust the armrest 4 according to the comfortable height, thereby improving the comfort of using the office chair.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A control switch 10 is provided at one end of the armrest 4 away from the backrest 3. The control switch 10 is electrically connected to the drive member 52. A control circuit board is also electrically connected to the circuit between the control switch 10 and the drive member 52. The control switch 10 controls the start and stop of the drive member 52 through the control circuit board. The control switch 10 arranged on the armrest 4 can conveniently control the drive member 52; a protective cover 11 is hingedly provided at one end of the armrest 4 away from the backrest 3. The protective cover 11 is sleeved outside the control switch 10 or detached from the sleeve of the control switch 10 by rotation. One end of the protective cover is hingedly provided on the armrest 4, and the other end is provided with an insert block 12. A slot 13 is opened on the armrest 4 corresponding to the insert block 12. When the protective cover is sleeved outside the control switch 10, the insert block 12 is inserted into the slot 13 to fix the protective cover on the armrest 4. The setting of the protective cover can protect the control switch 10 and reduce the probability of the control switch 10 being accidentally touched.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The lifting assembly 5 also includes a sliding seat 53 fixed on the mounting platform 51 and a sliding rod 54 with one end inserted into the sliding seat 53. The sliding rod 54 slides in the sliding seat 53 along the height direction of the chair back 3. The armrest 4 is installed on the end of the sliding rod 54 away from the sliding seat 53. The sliding seat 53 and the sliding rod 54 can guide the sliding of the armrest 4, thereby reducing the probability of the armrest 4 tilting when sliding.

[0039] Reference Figure 1A fixing mechanism 6 is provided between the sliding seat 53 and the sliding rod 54. The fixing mechanism 6 includes a mounting groove 61 provided on the sliding seat 53, a wedge block 62 slidably provided in the mounting groove 61, a fixing spring 63 placed in the mounting groove 61, and a plurality of fixing grooves 64 uniformly provided on the sliding rod 54 along the length direction of the sliding rod 54. The fixing spring 63 elastic force drives the wedge block 62 to slide away from the mounting groove 61. The wedge block 62 is inserted into one of the fixing grooves 64 by sliding, and the wedge surface of the wedge block 62 faces the ground. When When the armrest 4 is lifted, the bottom wall of the fixed groove 64 abuts against the wedge surface of the wedge block 62, driving the wedge block 62 to slide, so that the wedge block 62 is disengaged to facilitate the normal lifting of the armrest 4. When the height adjustment of the armrest 4 is completed, the wedge block 62 rebounds and is inserted into the fixed groove 64 under the elastic force of the fixing spring 63. The side of the wedge block 62 without the wedge surface abuts against the top wall of the fixed groove 64 to limit the sliding of the sliding rod 54, thereby fixing the adjusted armrest 4 and improving the stability of the armrest 4. A lever 7 is fixed on the wedge block 62. The rod 7 passes through the sliding seat 53 and extends out of the sliding seat 53. The lever 7 slides on the sliding seat 53. When the armrest 4 is lifted, the bottom groove wall of the fixed groove 64 abuts against the wedge surface of the wedge block 62 to drive the wedge block 62 to slide, so that the wedge block 62 is disengaged to facilitate the normal lifting of the handrail 4. When the height adjustment of the handrail 4 is completed, the wedge block 62 rebounds and inserts into the fixed groove 64 under the elastic force of the fixed spring 63. The side of the wedge block 62 without the wedge surface abuts against the top groove wall of the fixed groove 64 to limit the sliding of the sliding rod 54, thereby adjusting the height of the handrail 4. The armrest 4 is fixed to improve the stability of the armrest 4; a reinforcement groove 8 is opened on the sliding seat 53, and a reinforcement bolt 9 is slidingly arranged in the reinforcement groove 8. The reinforcement bolt 9 passes through the reinforcement groove 8 and is threadedly connected to the sliding rod 54. The reinforcement screw is loosened, and the reinforcement screw serves as a guide to guide the sliding of the sliding rod 54 on the sliding seat 53, so that the sliding of the sliding rod 54 is smoother. The reinforcement screw is tightened to reinforce the sliding rod 54 on the sliding seat 53, thereby realizing the reinforcement of the sliding rod 54 and improving the stability of the sliding rod 54 on the sliding seat 53.

[0040] The implementation principle of an office chair with adjustable armrests 4 in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the office chair is moved to a suitable position by means of the roller 15. When the armrest 4 needs to be raised, the reinforcing screw is loosened and the protective cover is rotated, and the control switch 10 is pressed to control the driving member 52 to drive the armrest 4 to be raised, thereby adjusting the armrest 4 to make it be raised. After the armrest 4 is raised to a suitable height, the control switch 10 is released, and the protective cover is rotated to be sleeved outside the control switch 10, and then the reinforcing screw is tightened to complete the lifting of the armrest 4. When the armrest 4 needs to be lowered, the reinforcing screw is loosened and the protective cover is rotated, and the lever 7 is moved to make the wedge block 62 disengage from the fixing groove 64, and at the same time, the control switch 10 is pressed to control the driving member 52 to drive the armrest 4 to be lowered, thereby adjusting the armrest 4 to make it be lowered. After the armrest 4 is lowered to a suitable height, the control switch 10 and the lever 7 are released, and the protective cover is rotated to be sleeved outside the control switch 10, and then the reinforcing screw is tightened to complete the lowering of the armrest 4.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
