[0021] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0022] Referring to the accompanying drawings: This movable and adjustable chair armrest includes a mounting base 1 and a lifting base 2 movably connected to the mounting base 1, an armrest frame 3 is arranged above the lifting base 2, and a movable armrest support plate 4 is arranged on the armrest frame 3, the armrest support plate 4 includes a lower shell 41 and an upper cover body covering the lower shell 41, a slide 41-a is penetrated and arranged at the center position of the bottom of the lower shell 41, two symmetrically distributed and rotatable rotating arms 31 are arranged in the armrest frame 3, and a non-rotating connecting end of the rotating arm 31 is provided with a column 31-a extending through the slide 41-a to the inner cavity of the lower shell 41, and a fixed seat 5 is inserted on the part of the column 31-a extending to the inner cavity of the lower shell 41, and a shielding structure 6 is arranged on the outer wall of the fixed seat 5, and the shielding structure 6 is used to shield part of the slide 41-a. The principle of the utility model is to use the shielding structure 6 to shield part of the slide 41-a, mainly to shield the part of the armrest support plate 4 exposed outside the armrest frame 3 after the movement. In this way, it can prevent children from extending their fingers into the armrest support plate 4 through the slide 41-a when driving the armrest support plate 4 to move, and there will be no safety hazard of fingers being stuck.

[0023] The inner cavity of the lower shell 41 has a positioning area 41-b located in the middle, and guide areas 41-c symmetrically distributed on both sides of the positioning area 41-b. The width of the positioning area 41-b is greater than the width of the guide area 41-c. The slide 41-a is located in the positioning area 41-b. The fixed seat 5 is located in the positioning area 41-b so as to cooperate with the fixed seat 5 to prevent the armrest support plate 4 from moving under non-human operation after the armrest support plate 4 moves to the required distance. The shielding structure 6 moves in the guide area 41-c, as shown in FIG. This arrangement enables the lower shell 41 to have the ability to be positioned and cooperated with the fixed seat 5, so that the armrest support plate 4 can always remain in this position when the armrest support plate 4 is adjusted to the desired position, and the width of the positioning area 41-b is greater than the width of the guide area 41-c to form a step surface, and the step surface can limit the adjustable range of the armrest support plate 4, that is, it is achieved by abutting the step surface and the fixed seat 5, and the guide area 41-c extends the length of the inner cavity of the lower shell 41, that is, it will not interfere with the shielding structure 6.

[0024] A plurality of positioning grooves 41-b1 located at the center are provided on both inner side walls of the positioning area 41-b, and the plurality of positioning grooves 41-b1 are distributed in an array along the length direction of the lower shell body 41. Two front and rear symmetrically distributed and elastic swing arms 51 are provided on the inner side wall of the fixed seat 5. A first positioning protrusion 51-a is provided at the connection end of the swing arm 51 that is not connected to the fixed seat 5. When the first positioning protrusion 51-a is combined with any positioning groove 41-b1 on the corresponding side, the armrest support plate 4 is prevented from moving freely. Such a setting enables the armrest support plate 4 to have a positioning effect, that is, it is achieved by utilizing the positioning groove 41-b1 and the first positioning protrusion 51-a of the swing arm 51, so that when the armrest support plate 4 is adjusted to the desired position, the armrest support plate 4 can always be maintained at this position, and the swing arm 51 has an elastic setting to facilitate its switching in each positioning groove 41-b1.

[0025] There is a transition protrusion 41-b2 arranged on the inner side wall of the positioning area 41-b between two adjacent positioning grooves 41-b1 located on the same side. When the first positioning protrusion 51-a abuts against the transition protrusion 41-b2, the swing arm 51 swings in the direction away from the positioning groove 41-b1, that is, the transition protrusion 41-b2 is used to make the swing arm 51 swing, and the swing facilitates the first positioning protrusion 51-a of the swing arm 51 to enter the next positioning groove 41-b1.

[0026] The transition protrusion 41-b2 and the positioning groove 41-b1 form a corrugated configuration so that the first positioning protrusion 51-a has continuity when switching positions between the transition protrusion 41-b2 and the positioning groove 41-b1. Such an arrangement allows the armrest support plate 4 to switch continuously between the transition protrusion 41-b2 and the positioning groove 41-b1 when moving, and a guide slope is formed between the two. The guide slope is used to make the swing arm 51 swing gradually in the direction away from the positioning groove 41-b1 or in the direction into the positioning groove 41-b1.

[0027] The front and rear outer side walls of the fixing seat 5 are both provided with a second positioning protrusion 52 located in the center position, and the second positioning protrusion 52 is combined with the positioning groove 41-b1. The second positioning protrusion 52 is used to combine with the positioning groove 41-b1, and the combination occurs when the first positioning protrusion 51-a abuts against the transition protrusion 41-b2. This setting takes into account that there is a transition protrusion 41-b2 between two adjacent positioning grooves 41-b1. When the first positioning protrusion 51-a abuts against the transition protrusion 41-b2, it is impossible to prevent the armrest support plate 4 from moving. Assuming that the spacing distance between the two positioning grooves 41-b1 is 1+1, and the spacing distance between the positioning groove 41-b1 and the transition protrusion 41-b2 is 1, then the displacement distance of the armrest support plate 4 without the second positioning protrusion 52 is 1+1, and the displacement distance of the armrest support plate 4 with the positioning protrusion 52 is 1, thereby increasing the adjustable range of the armrest support plate 4 in this way.

[0028] A connecting outer ear group 53 matching the swing arm 51 is arranged on the inner wall of the fixed seat 5, and each connecting outer ear group 53 has two connecting outer ears 53-a symmetrically distributed in the upper and lower parts, and a fixed shaft 53-a1 is arranged between the two connecting outer ears 53-a. The swing arm 51 is rotatably arranged on the fixed shaft 53-a1 and a torsion spring is arranged between the two. Such an arrangement can make the swing arm 51 have an elastic effect, that is, it is achieved by utilizing the torsion spring. When the first positioning protrusion 51-a abuts against the transition protrusion 41-b2, the torsion spring generates twisting force, and the force is released when the first positioning protrusion 51-a enters the positioning groove 41-b1, that is, it can drive the swing arm 51 to automatically reset and swing, and such an arrangement is more durable than the method of direct injection molding on the fixed seat 5 and is not easy to break.

[0029] The shielding structure 6 is configured as a plate body 61 in a linear configuration. The plate body 61 moves in the guide area 41-c and its width is greater than the width of the slide 41-a. Such a configuration can achieve shielding of the opening of the slide 41-a in the lower shell 41, and the plate body has good flatness and can be fully fitted with the inner bottom surface of the lower shell 41.

[0030] A reinforcing rib 7 is provided between the plate body 61 and the fixing seat 5 , and the structural strength of the plate body 61 is increased by the reinforcing rib 7 , while also providing upper constraints on the plate body 61 to prevent it from bending upward when subjected to force.

[0031] Although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein within the scope of the claims.
