[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] This embodiment provides a self-locking adjustable office chair, including a chair back and a chair headrest. Among them, a bracket can be provided on the chair back, and an adjustment frame can be provided on the chair headrest. The adjustment frame is slidably connected to the bracket to realize the position adjustment of the chair headrest.

[0026] It can be understood that the adjustment of the chair headrest can include vertical height adjustment and horizontal telescopic adjustment. A set of adjustment structures is composed of a bracket and an adjustment frame, and a set of adjustment structures can realize the position adjustment in one direction. Therefore, the number and position of the adjustment structures can be designed according to the actual needs of the office chair to achieve the function of multi-angle adjustment. It is worth noting that in addition to the adjustment of the chair headrest proposed in this embodiment, the above-mentioned individual adjustment structures can also be provided at places such as armrests and lumbar supports to realize the adjustment functions at various parts of the office chair and improve the adjustment function of the office chair. The above functions can be designed and implemented by those skilled in the art according to common general knowledge after knowing the individual adjustment structures, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0027] In this embodiment, the specific manner of the single-group adjustment structure is as follows:

[0028] A locking member 100 is movably connected to the adjustment frame. The bracket has a locking bar 110 that is engaged with the locking member 100. The locking member 100 moves along a first direction on the locking bar 110. The bracket is further provided with a guiding track 120 located at the end of the locking bar 110 and used to disengage the locking member 100 from the locking bar 110, and a reset track 130 that communicates with the guiding track 120 and defines a second direction; the locking member 100 moves alternately in the first direction and the second direction.

[0029] It can be unfolded that an elastic member 180 is further provided on the adjustment frame to make the locking member 100 tend to move towards the locking bar 110. The elastic member 180 is preferably a spring. The adjustment frame has a sliding groove parallel to the first direction, and a sliding block slidably connected to the sliding groove is provided on the adjustment frame. The locking member 100 is composed of a tip, a middle part, and a tail. The tail is connected to the adjustment frame through a hinge member. The middle part is detachably connected to the elastic member 180 (the other end of the elastic member 180 is installed on the adjustment frame). The protrusion on the tip can be engaged with any one of the locking positions on the locking bar 110 to complete the locking of the adjustment frame. When the protrusion on the tip can disengage from one locking position and spring into the next locking position under the action of the spring to achieve position adjustment. It should be noted that in this embodiment, it is further preferably that the movement track of the locking member 100 on the locking bar 110 has a directionality (the first direction), which can be achieved by designing the shape of the locking bar 110 (a well-known technology, so it will not be elaborated here). It is difficult for the locking member 100 to complete reverse adjustment to avoid the situation of tooth disengagement. The second direction described in this embodiment is parallel to but opposite in direction to the first direction. After the locking member 100 disengages from the locking bar 110, the locking member 100 moves along the second direction under the guidance of the reset track 130, so that the locking member 100 returns to the starting end of the locking bar 110, thereby realizing the function of re-adjustment.

[0030] As a further preference of this embodiment, a control protrusion 140 is provided on the surface of the locking member 100. A locking track 150 distributed along the first direction is provided on the side end of the bracket close to the locking bar 110. Both ends of the locking track 150 communicate with the guiding track 120 and the reset track 130 respectively. When the control protrusion 140 contacts the guiding track 120, it forces the locking member 100 to disengage from the locking bar 110, and finally the control protrusion 140 enters the reset track 130 from the locking track 150.

[0031] The cooperation of the control protrusion 140 with each track can realize the locking, unlocking, and reset functions of the locking member 100, specifically as follows:

[0032] When locked, the tip protrusion of the locking member 100 is engaged with the locking position on the locking bar 110;

[0033] When unlocking, the locking member 100 is pushed to the end in the first direction, the control protrusion 140 is in pressure contact with the guiding track 120, and under the oblique guiding of the guiding track 120, it overcomes the resistance of the elastic member 180 and enters the reset track 130 from the locking track 150. At this time, the locking member 100 is disengaged from the locking bar 110;

[0034] When resetting, the locking member 100 is pulled in the opposite direction along the second direction. At this time, the locking member 100 is always in a state of being disengaged from the locking bar 110, and the locking member 100 moves to the end in the second direction under the guiding of the reset track 130. The reset track 130 at this end is communicated with the locking track 150. Under the action of the elastic member 180, the locking member 100 has a tendency to move towards the locking bar 110. The control protrusion 140 returns from the reset track 130 to the locking track 150 through the communication part of the two tracks. At this time, the locking member 100 is located at the starting point of the locking bar 110 and is engaged with the locking bar 110.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] This embodiment optimizes the structure on the basis of Embodiment 1, specifically as follows:

[0037] A protrusion 160 for preventing the control protrusion 140 from retracting from the reset track 130 into the locking track 150 is provided on the bottom surface of the guiding track 120. The protrusion 160 has an inclined surface connected to the bottom surface of the locking track 150, and the higher part of the inclined surface is higher than the inner bottom surface of the reset track 130. After the control protrusion 140 enters the reset track 130 along the inclined surface from the locking track 150, due to the height difference between the bottom surface of the reset track 130 and the high part of the inclined surface, the control protrusion 140 is resisted by the high part of the inclined surface and cannot retract.

[0038] As an implementation manner of this embodiment, an opening 170 is further provided on the bottom surface of the guiding track 120, and the end of the protrusion 160 at the lower part of the inclined surface is fixedly connected to the side wall of the opening 170. Such a setting enables the end (free end) of the protrusion 160 different from the side wall connected to the opening 170 to have the function of deforming under force. When the control protrusion 140 moves along the guiding track 120, it forces the side of the protrusion 160 different from the side connected to the opening 170 to approach the opening 170. And when the control protrusion 140 finally passes through the protrusion 160 and enters the reset track 130, the pressure on the free end of the protrusion 160 disappears and it returns to its original state. At this time, the lower end of the control protrusion 140 is lower than the protrusion 160, and the control protrusion 140 cannot retract.

[0039] As another implementation manner of this embodiment, an end portion of the control projection 140 in contact with the inclined surface has an elastomer. When the control projection 140 moves along the guiding track 120, the elastomer is forced to be compressed. And when the control projection 140 finally passes through the projection member 160 and enters the reset track 130, the elastomer loses pressure and returns to its original state, and the lower end of the elastomer is lower than the projection member 160, so that the control projection 140 cannot retreat.

[0040] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art to which the present utility model pertains can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace them, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present utility model or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
