[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model is clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiment of the utility model provided below is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model claimed for protection, but only represents the selected embodiment of the utility model.

[0030] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it may not be further defined or explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, an acupuncture chair comprises a seat 1, chair legs 2, a backrest 3 and armrests 4. The chair legs 2 are arranged at the lower part of the seat 1, and the backrest 3 and armrests 4 are arranged on the seat 1. The backrest 3 is tilted backwards. The backrest 3 comprises a fixed lower backrest 301 at the lower part and a movable upper backrest 302 movably connected to the fixed lower backrest 301. The armrests 4 on both sides of the seat are tilted toward the front and outside, and slightly tilted upwards from the back to the front. One way to implement the fixed lower backrest 301 and the movable upper backrest 302 is to fix the lower backrest 301 with the fixed columns on both sides to fix the arc-shaped lower backrest horizontal plate 303, the movable rod of the upper backrest is located in the fixed column, and the two movable rods are connected to both sides of the upper backrest horizontal plate 304, so that the function of the movable upper backrest 302 can be realized. The diagram of the utility model shows the scheme of telescopic rods, and the outer telescopic rods on both sides of the fixed lower backrest 301 extend below the seat surface, and the lower ends are connected to the chair legs with reinforcing rods to enhance stability, so that the inner telescopic rods at both ends of the movable upper backrest 302 have a longer contact length with the outer telescopic rods, thereby enhancing the stability of the movable upper backrest 302. There are various ways to fix the movable upper backrest 302, which can be screw compression or recessed positioning similar to car seats, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0033] The lower horizontal plate 303 for leaning on of the fixed lower backrest 301 and the upper horizontal plate 304 for leaning on of the movable upper backrest 302 are both set to be arc-shaped. Of course, the arc shape here is to fit the back of the person on the seat to increase the comfort. The arc shape is only for increasing comfort and can be set to other shapes that are closer to the human back.

[0034] The heights of the lower horizontal board 303 and the upper horizontal board 304 are 20 cm and 10 cm respectively. Of course, this is just to accommodate most people, and their sizes can be modified according to actual needs.

[0035] The seat plate and the backrest 3 are made of breathable flexible material, so that the seat can be moderately soft and hard, avoiding discomfort caused by sweating from sitting for a long time, and the moderate hardness can improve the comfort of sitting.

[0036] The two front corners of the seat surface 1 are arc-shaped; the two upper corners of the movable upper backrest 302 are arc-shaped. The arc-shaped structure can avoid sharp corners and avoid possible dangers caused by human contact. At the same time, for the chair legs 2, support rods 6 and other structures of the seat, safer cylindrical or rounded surfaces can be used to avoid sharp edges and corners on the surface. Only part of the arc-shaped structure is visible in the figure. It is a simple structure and will not be described in detail.

[0037] The upper surface of the armrest 4 contacts the upper limbs of the human body. The whole is made of soft, non-heat-conductive, anti-slip material or the upper surface is covered with soft, non-heat-conductive, anti-slip material, so that the arm placed on it is not easy to slide, and the soft pad makes it more comfortable. The non-heat conduction is to prevent the local temperature from dropping and causing poor blood circulation, which affects the acupuncture effect.

[0038] The armrest 4 is 50 cm long and 5 cm wide. A reinforcing plate 7 is connected to the seat plate at the far end of the armrest 4 to increase the stability of the armrest 4. The reinforcing plate 7 is in the shape of an inverted triangle, which can reduce a certain amount of shielding area. In order to enhance the stability of the backrest 3 and the chair legs 2, a support rod 6 connected to the uppermost end of the fixed lower backrest 301 and the two rear legs is provided. The support rod 6 only needs to play a supporting role. The support rod 6 can be set to an arc shape, which has a stronger supporting capacity and is more beautiful.

[0039] The lower part of the chair leg 2 is inclined away from the center of the seat surface 1 to increase the stability of the seat, and an anti-skid cushion can be added to the bottom of the chair leg 2 to prevent noise from moving and sliding when sitting.

[0040] The height of the chair seat 1 formed by the chair legs 2 corresponds to the 1.65m human sitting height setting, which is set to a more comfortable sitting posture during acupuncture, with the human thigh parallel to the ground and the calf basically vertical. Of course, this is just a more suitable size, and the size can be modified according to actual needs.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] On the basis of Example 1, the seat plate of the chair extends backward to form a storage platform 5, and the extension length of the storage platform 5 is 20 cm. Of course, the storage platform 5 does not necessarily extend from the seat plate position, but can also be a platform of other forms connected to the seat plate (or other positions). The storage platform 5 can also be set as a platform with adjustable height up and down, so that the doctor can stand and take the items on the platform. The storage platform 5 is provided with an anti-slip structure, such as a rubber coating or an anti-slip pattern.

[0043] At the same time, in order to enhance the stability of the platform, the middle of the support rod 6 is connected to the far ends of the left and right sides of the storage platform 5, so that the storage platform 5 will not be easily damaged and has a stronger load-bearing capacity. The two outer corners of the storage platform 5 are arc-shaped to prevent people from hitting sharp corners and ensure safety.
