[0029] Such as Figure 1 、 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 show an adjustment structure of the utility model, in particular, an adjustment structure of a seat back, which includes a fixed bracket 100, a movable seat 30, and a steel ball 60, wherein the seat back is mounted on the movable seat 30; the fixed bracket 100 is fixedly matched with a bracket, a base or a cushion of the seat, and as a fixing part of the adjustment structure, the movable seat 30 can slide relative to the fixed bracket 100 in the up-down direction, and a first mating surface 201 facing the movable seat 30 is provided on the fixed bracket 100, and a second mating surface 301 opposite to the first mating surface 201 is provided on the movable seat 30, and the first mating surface 201 and the second mating surface 301 both extend in the up-down direction, and a plurality of card slots 21 are provided on the first mating surface 201, and the plurality of card slots 21 are arranged in the up-down direction; the movable seat 30 A through hole 32 is provided, one end of the through hole 32 extends to the second mating surface 301, the steel ball 60 is embedded in the through hole 32, and a part of the steel ball 60 protrudes from the second mating surface 301 and is placed in one of the slots 21, so that the freedom of the movable seat 30 to move up and down relative to the fixed bracket 100 is locked by the steel ball 60; a movable block 40 is provided on the movable seat 30, the movable block 40 can be movably installed on the movable seat 30, and is located at the other end of the through hole 32, and an avoidance groove 43 and a stop surface are provided on the surface of the movable block 40 facing the steel ball 60, specifically, the avoidance groove 43 is formed by being recessed on the surface of the movable block 40 facing the steel ball 60 in the direction away from the fixed bracket 100, and the stop surface is formed on the surface of the movable block 40 facing the steel ball 60, The movable block 40 can move between the first position and the second position relative to the movable seat 30 in the up-down direction. When the movable block 40 is in the first position, the stop surface blocks the other end of the through hole 32, and the steel ball 60 is resisted by the stop surface to prevent the steel ball 60 from escaping from the slot 21. When the movable block 40 moves downward from the first position to the second position, the avoidance groove 43 on the movable block 40 faces the other end of the through hole 32. At this time, the steel ball 60 located in the through hole 32 can enter the avoidance groove 43 through the through hole 32, so that a part of the steel ball 60 is embedded in the avoidance groove 43, and the steel ball 60 is located in the slot 21. The part in the middle moves to the through hole 32. At this time, the steel ball 60 no longer limits the freedom of the movable seat 30 to move up and down relative to the fixed bracket 100, so that the movable seat 30 can move up and down relative to the fixed bracket 100 under the action of external force, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the height of the movable seat 30. When the height position of the movable seat 30 is adjusted to the right position, the movable block 40 moves upward from the second position to the first position, and the steel ball 60 disengages from the avoidance groove 43, so that a part of the steel ball 60 is embedded in the card slot 21 at the corresponding position, and the steel ball 60 re-locks the freedom of the movable seat 30 relative to the fixed bracket 100.

[0030] In the present utility model, an active block 40 that can move relative to the active seat 30 is provided on the active seat 30. When the active block 40 moves relative to the active seat 30, the active block 40 can abut against or avoid the steel ball 60. When the active block 40 abuts against the steel ball 60, a part of the steel ball 60 is placed in the through hole 32 of the active seat 30 and another part is placed in the card slot 21, so that the steel ball 60 can stably lock the active seat 30 and the fixed bracket 100. When the active block 40 moves to avoid the steel ball 60 by the avoidance groove 43, the steel ball 60 can move on the normal phase of the first mating surface 201 and the second mating surface 301, and then the steel ball 60 can be disengaged from the card slot 21. Therefore, when adjusting the active seat 30, the active block 40 is moved to a state where the avoidance groove 43 avoids the steel ball 60, and the steel ball 60 no longer contacts the inner wall of the card slot 21 after moving, so that no damping force is generated on the movement of the active seat 30, and thus the active seat 30 can be adjusted conveniently and labor-savingly.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting groove 31 extending in the up-down direction is provided on the movable seat 30, and a wall panel is formed on the portion of the movable seat 30 located between the mounting groove 31 and the second mating surface 301, and a through hole 32 passes through the wall panel, so that one end of the through hole 32 extends to the second mating surface 301 and the other end is connected to the mounting groove 31, and the movable block 40 is embedded in the mounting groove 31 and can slide in the mounting groove 31. The mounting groove 31 is used to guide the movable block 40 so that when the movable block 40 is in the second position, the avoidance groove 43 can be aligned with the through hole 32, so that the avoidance groove 43 can accommodate the steel ball 60. The upper end of the above-mentioned mounting groove 31 extends to the top surface of the movable seat 30 to form an opening, and the movable block 40 is connected to the mounting groove 31 through the opening. The top of the movable block 40 protrudes from the opening to form a pressing portion 42. An elastic reset member is arranged between the movable block 40 and the movable seat 30. When the movable seat 30 needs to be adjusted, downward pressure is applied to the pressing portion 42 to make the movable block 40 move downward from the first position to the second position. The elastic reset member is used to provide an elastic stress, which always pushes the movable block 40 upward. When the movable block 40 moves downward to the second position, the elastic reset member is compressed, and the elastic stress generated by the elastic reset member pushes the movable block 40 upward. When the external force on the movable block 40 is removed, the elastic stress of the elastic reset member pushes the movable block 40 upward from the second position to the first position. During use, the user presses the pressing portion 42 of the movable block 40 downward, and the movable block 40 moves downward to the second position, so that the avoidance groove 43 is aligned with the through hole 32. At this time, the movable seat 30 is moved. Since the movable block 40 does not limit the freedom of the steel ball 60 to move toward it, the steel ball 60 is pushed by the inner wall of the through hole 32, and moves along the through hole 32 toward the avoidance groove 43, and a part of the steel ball 60 falls into the avoidance groove 43, so that the steel ball 60 can be easily detached from the slot 21, and the resistance generated when moving the movable seat 30 is small. After the position adjustment of the movable seat 30 is completed, the external force on the pressing portion 42 is released, and the elastic reset member pushes the movable block 40 upward. During the upward movement of the movable block 40, the inner wall surface of the avoidance groove 43 pushes the steel ball 60 to move toward the slot 21, until the movable block 40 moves to the first position, the stop surface blocks the through hole 32 and abuts against the steel ball 60, so that a part of the steel ball 60 is stuck in the slot 21, and the freedom of movement of the steel ball 60 is limited by the stop surface, so that the steel ball 60 can be stably stuck in the slot 21. The lower end of the mounting slot 31 forms a blind end, and the elastic reset member is a spring 50, the upper end of the spring 50 abuts against the bottom surface of the movable block 40, and the lower end abuts against the blind end of the mounting slot 31. It should be pointed out that the above-mentioned elastic reset member is not limited to the spring 50, and it can also be other elastic reset members such as elastic rubber blocks and springs.

[0032] To prevent the movable block 40 from detaching from the movable seat 30 while facilitating the installation of the movable block 40 on the movable seat 30, a limiting groove 34 extending from bottom to top is provided on the movable seat 30. The limiting groove 34 penetrates from the second mating surface 301 to the installation groove 31, that is, the limiting groove 34 is provided on the wall plate formed between the second mating surface 301 and the installation groove 31. A limiting screw 41 is screwed on the movable block 40, and the limiting screw 41 is slidably embedded in the limiting groove 34. The upper and lower ends of the limiting groove 34 are used to limit the range of the up and down movement of the limiting screw 41, and then limit the range of the up and down movement of the movable block 40 relative to the movable seat 30. During assembly, the movable block 40 is inserted into the installation groove 31 from the opening of the installation groove 31, and then the limiting screw 41 is passed through the limiting groove 34 from the side of the second mating surface 301 and screwed onto the movable block 40.

[0033] In another preferred embodiment, the avoidance groove 43 includes an arc-shaped receiving portion 432 and an inclined guide wall 431. One side of the receiving portion 432 extends to the surface of the movable block 40 facing the first mating surface 201, and the inclined guide wall 431 extends from the other side of the receiving portion 432 to the surface of the movable block 40 facing the first mating surface 201. When the movable block 40 moves from the second position to the first position, the inclined guide wall 431 abuts against the steel ball 60. Through the inclined surface formed by the inclined guide wall 431, the steel ball 60 gradually moves towards the card slot 21 and finally the steel ball 60 completely detaches from the avoidance groove 43.

[0034] In the present utility model, a chute extending in the up and down direction is provided on the fixed bracket 100, and the movable seat 30 is slidably installed in the chute, so that the movable seat 30 can slide relative to the fixed bracket 100 in the up and down direction. Specifically, the fixed bracket 100 includes a backrest bracket 10 and a fixing plate 20. The fixing plate 20 is detachably fixed to the backrest bracket 10 by screw connection or other fixing means. Two retaining ribs 22 are respectively protrudingly provided on both sides of the fixing plate 20, and the retaining ribs 22 extend in the up and down direction. When the fixing plate 20 is fixedly connected to the front side of the backrest bracket 10, a chute is respectively formed between each retaining rib 22 and the backrest bracket 10; two first protruding ribs 331 are protrudingly provided on the second mating surface 301 of the movable seat 30, and second protruding ribs 332 extending towards each other are provided on the two first protruding ribs 331. A guide groove 33 is respectively formed between the two second protruding ribs 332 and the second mating surface 301. The two second protruding ribs 332 are respectively slidably embedded in the two chutes, and the two retaining ribs 22 are respectively slidably embedded in the two guide grooves 33. During assembly, the fixing plate 20 can be placed between the two first protruding ribs 331, so that the two retaining ribs 22 are inserted into the two guide grooves 33 from top to bottom. Then, the fixing plate 20 and the backrest bracket 10 are fixed together by screws from the rear side of the backrest bracket 10. To reduce the occupation of the front and rear space, an installation groove 11 is provided on the backrest bracket 10, and the fixing plate 20 is embedded in the installation groove 11.
