A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0038] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., are based on the directions or positions shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplified operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the backrest device provided in this embodiment includes a frame 1, an adjustment component 2 and a pull rope 3, the adjustment component 2 is slidably installed on the frame 1, the adjustment component 2 includes an upper plate 21, a lower plate 22, an elastic plate 25, a bearing shaft 26, a transmission component and a motor 210, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 are both slidably installed on the frame 1, the upper plate 21 is provided with a first rack 23, the lower plate 22 is provided with a second rack 24, the first rack 23 and the second rack 24 are arranged opposite to each other; the two ends of the elastic plate 25 are respectively connected to the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22; the transmission component is sleeved on the periphery of the bearing shaft 26, the transmission component is provided with external meshing teeth, the transmission component is located between the first rack 23 and the second rack 24, and the transmission component is respectively meshed and connected with the first rack 23 and the second rack 24, one end of the pull rope 3 is connected to the top of the frame 1, and the other end of the pull rope 3 is connected to the transmission component; the output end of the motor 210 is connected to the transmission component.

[0040] Specifically, when the seat needs to provide stronger support for the user's back, the motor 210 is started, and the motor 210 drives the transmission component to rotate forward, and one end of the pull rope 3 is wound around the periphery of the transmission component, so that the adjustment component 2 slides upward along the frame 1 as a whole. At the same time, due to the meshing action of the transmission component with the first rack 23 and the second rack 24, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 are brought close to each other, thereby causing the elastic plate 25 to elastically deform and arch, and the arched elastic plate 25 supports the user's back; when the motor 210 drives the transmission component to rotate in the opposite direction, the transmission component unwinds the pull rope 3, so that the adjustment component 2 slides downward along the frame 1 as a whole. At the same time, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 move away from each other, and the elastic plate 25 tends to straighten. The structure of the backrest device is optimized, the number of driving parts is reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

[0041] The backrest device of this embodiment only needs to be equipped with one motor 210 to move the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 closer to each other, causing the elastic plate 25 to elastically deform and arch, and at the same time drive the adjustment component 2 to slide upward along the frame 1 as a whole, thereby reducing costs and making the weight of the adjustment component 1 relatively light.

[0042] In this embodiment, two elastic plates 25 are provided.

[0043] Optionally, the upper plate 21 and the first rack 23 are integrally arranged, and the lower plate 22 and the second rack 24 are integrally arranged. The upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 have the same structure. During specific use, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 are arranged 180° offset with the central axis of the load-bearing shaft 26 as the rotation center line. The upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 are made of the same set of production equipment, and the production cost is lower.

[0044] Optionally, the transmission component includes a transmission wheel 27, a meshing gear 29 and a torsion spring 28, the transmission wheel 27 is connected to the output end of the motor 210, and the pull rope 3 is connected to the transmission wheel 27; the meshing gear 29 is arranged between the first rack 23 and the second rack 24, and the meshing gear 29 is respectively meshed and transmission connected with the first rack 23 and the second rack 24; the two ends of the torsion spring 28 are respectively connected to the transmission wheel 27 and the meshing gear 29.

[0045] When the motor 210 drives the transmission wheel 27 to rotate forward, the pull rope 3 is wound around the periphery of the transmission wheel 27, driving the adjustment assembly 2 as a whole to rise. At the same time, the torsion spring 28 transmits the torque of the transmission wheel 27 to the meshing gear 29, and the meshing gear 29 is meshed and connected with the first rack 23 and the second rack 24, thereby driving the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 to approach each other. When the distance between the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 is no longer reduced, for example, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 are abutted, the transmission wheel 27 can continue to rotate forward because the torsion spring 28 can be elastically deformed, so that the adjustment assembly 2 continues to rise. In this embodiment, the transmission wheel 27, the meshing gear 29 and the torsion spring 28 are all sleeved on the periphery of the bearing shaft 26.

[0046] In this embodiment, a worm is provided at the output end of the motor 210, and the transmission wheel 27 is a worm wheel. The worm and the worm wheel are meshingly connected. In some other embodiments, a reducer is provided at the output end of the motor 210, and the reducer is connected to the transmission wheel 27.

The torsion spring 28 is arranged between the transmission wheel 27 and the meshing gear 29, and limiting grooves are respectively provided on the transmission wheel 27 and the meshing gear 29, and the limiting grooves are used to limit the ends of the torsion spring 28 to prevent the torsion spring 28 from being separated from the transmission wheel 27 or the meshing gear 29.

[0048] Optionally, the motor 210 and the transmission component are located on the same side of the frame 1, and the elastic plate 25 is located on the side of the frame 1 away from the motor 210. The transmission component or the motor 210 is prevented from hindering the deformation of the elastic plate 25.

[0049] Optionally, an upper limit portion 251 is provided on the side of the elastic plate 25 facing the upper plate 21, and a lower limit portion 252 is provided on the side of the elastic plate 25 facing the lower plate 22. The upper limit portion 251 and the lower limit portion 252 provide a limiting function. When the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 approach each other, the elastic plate 25 arches in a direction away from the motor 210 and the transmission components.

[0050] Optionally, the backrest device further includes a support plate 4, and an elastic plate 25 is located between the support plate 4 and the frame 1, and the support plate 4 is used to support the back of the user.

[0051] Optionally, the top of the support plate 4 is connected to the top of the frame 1 by rotation around a horizontal line.

[0052] In this embodiment, the elastic plate 25 is a steel bar. Applying a certain pressure to both ends of the steel bar can cause the steel bar to arch, and applying a certain pulling force to both ends of the steel bar can cause the steel bar to tend to straighten.

[0053] Optionally, the backrest device further includes a protective shell 211, which is fixedly mounted on the upper plate 21 or the lower plate 22, and the bearing shaft 26 and the motor 210 are mounted inside the protective shell 211. The protective shell 211 isolates and protects the bearing shaft 26 and the motor 210, and provides support for the bearing shaft 26 and the motor 210.

[0054] Optionally, the backrest device further includes a limiting column 212, one of the protective shell 211 and the limiting column 212 is installed on the upper plate 21, and the other of the two is installed on the lower plate 22, and when the limiting column 212 abuts against the protective shell 211, the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 stop approaching each other.

[0055] In this embodiment, the protective shell 211 is mounted on the lower plate 22, and the limiting column 212 is mounted on the upper plate 21. When the protective shell 211 abuts against the limiting column 212, the distance between the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 is the smallest, and the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 stop approaching each other. In some other embodiments, the protective shell 211 is mounted on the upper plate 21, and the limiting column 212 is mounted on the lower plate 22.
