In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0028] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "mounted", "connected" and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, it is the optimal embodiment of the present utility model. The lengthened seat frame chair 100 of this embodiment includes: a seat frame, a backrest assembly 104, a seat assembly 106, a footrest assembly 108, a linkage system, and a linear actuator 222. The backrest assembly 104, the seat assembly 106, and the footrest assembly 108 are all connected to the linear actuator 222. The linear actuator 222 is used to control the backrest assembly 104, the seat assembly 106, and the footrest assembly 108 to switch between an upright position, an extended position, and an inclined position; wherein: the seat assembly 106 includes: a pair of oppositely arranged seat plates 112. The seat plates 112 are arranged in a V shape or an L shape, and a horizontally extending portion 114 is provided at the rear of the seat plates 112. The horizontally extending portion 114 is used to increase the floor area occupied by the seat plates 112. Thus, by providing the horizontally extending portion 114 at the rear of the seat plates 112, the floor area occupied by the seat plates 112 can be increased, and compared with the design method of the seats of the existing chair 100, this method can improve the comfort of the group with a large body size.

[0030] In other words, by providing the horizontal extension portion 114, the effective length of the seat plate 112 can be extended to physically accommodate a person with a large body size (i.e., a person with a large body size often has a larger buttocks), thereby improving the comfort of the group with a large body size (i.e., when such a person with a large body size uses the seat 100 of this solution, their buttocks can act on the seat 100 and the horizontal extension portion 114. In this way, there will be no part of the buttocks of the person with a large body size that is not in contact with the seat 100, and it is more comfortable to use).

[0031] Specifically, the rear portion of the V-shaped or L-shaped seat plate 112 includes a twisted or elongated N-shaped or Z-shaped structure, and this structure includes a horizontal extension portion 114 that extends substantially horizontally in the center.

[0032] In this embodiment, the linear actuator 222 includes: a motor 224, a sliding member 232, and a lead screw housing 234. The sliding member 232 is slidably mounted on the lead screw housing 234 and is connected in cooperation with the fourth mounting bracket 238; the seat frame includes: a front crossbar member 226 and a rear crossbar member 230. The front crossbar member 226 and the rear crossbar member 230 are both mounted on the base 102. The motor 224 is mounted on the front crossbar member 226, and the lead screw housing 234 is mounted on the rear crossbar member 230. Specifically, when the lead screw 228 rotates, the sliding member 232 will translate forward or backward along the lead screw 228 housing according to the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the lead screw 228; the rear end of the actuating link 236 is mounted on the sliding member 232 through the fourth mounting bracket 238 and is connected to the crossbeam 240 through the fifth mounting bracket 242 fixed on the crossbeam 240; in addition, the opposite ends of the crossbeam 240 pass through the first straight link 178 and are connected to the first straight link 178.

[0033] Specifically, when the linear actuator 222 is actuated and the sliding member 232 moves from its retracted position to its extended position, the sliding member 232 will move from left to right, and the actuating link 236 will effectively rotate counterclockwise around the upper end portion 239 of the fourth mounting bracket 238; at this time, the seat plate 112 will be raised and move forward at the same time. Correspondingly, it will also cause the fourth link 174 to move, so that the footrest assembly 108 extends; as the footrest extends, the continuous movement of the sliding member 232 on or relative to the lead screw 228 housing causes the counterclockwise rotational movement of the first pivot link 122. In this way, the V-shaped link 118 will cause the first mounting bracket 110 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the backrest assembly 104 moves to the inclined position, as Figure 3 shown.

[0034] It should be noted that the second pivot link 132 rotates in the clockwise direction, such that the height of the front end portion of the seat plate 112 is higher than the height of the rear end portion (i.e., it rises relative to the front end portion of the base 102); correspondingly, the height of the footrest assembly 108 is higher than the height of the backrest assembly 104. In this way, the zero-gravity setting of the seat 100 can be achieved.
