[0033] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, a lumbar support structure of an ergonomic chair includes a backrest 1. A lumbar support assembly is provided on the backrest 1. The lumbar support assembly includes a bracket 2. An upper elastic sheet 31 and a lower elastic sheet 32 are connected to the bracket 2. The upper end of the upper elastic sheet 31 is hinged with a first lumbar pad 41. A second lumbar pad 42 is hinged on the bracket 2. The lower end of the lower elastic sheet 32 is hinged with a third lumbar pad 43.

[0034] The bracket 2 is fixed to a slider 5. The slider 5 is slidably assembled with the backrest 1 up and down.

[0035] A gear position assembly is provided between the slider 5 and the backrest 1. The gear position assembly includes a matching chute 61 and a gear position pin 62. The chute 61 is provided on the backrest 1. A plurality of gear position grooves 61a are arranged longitudinally in the chute 61. The gear position pin 62 is provided on a shifting block 63. The shifting block 63 is assembled on the back of the slider 5. An elastic member 64 is provided between the shifting block 63 and the slider 5.

[0036] The gear position grooves 61a are inclined with the opening upward.

[0037] The shifting block 63 is rotatably connected to the slider 5. The upper end of the shifting block 63 has a quarter - circle structure. The upper - end quarter - circle structure provides space for the rotation of the shifting block 63 and avoids the rotation of the shifting block 63 being blocked.

[0038] Guide convex blocks 51 are respectively arranged on both sides of the slider 5. Guide grooves 1a adapted to the guide convex blocks 51 are provided on the backrest 1. Through the cooperation of the guide convex blocks 51 and the guide grooves 1a, it can ensure that the slider 5 moves in the vertical direction.

[0039] The entire waist support assembly can adjust the up and down position. When adjusting, it is only necessary to move the position of the slider 5 in the slide groove 61, and the slider 5 drives the bracket 2 and the first waist pad 41, the second waist pad 42, and the third waist pad 43 to move up and down together. The slide groove 61 is provided with a plurality of gear slots 61a in the longitudinal direction, and a shift block 63 is provided on the back of the slider 5. A shift pin 62 is provided on the shift block 63, and the shift pin 62 enters the corresponding gear slot 61a to achieve positioning. When the slider 5 moves, the shift pin 62 is pushed by the inner wall of the gear slot 61a, driving the shift block 63 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 64 and rotate, so that the shift pin 62 leaves the current gear slot 61a and enters the vertical channel of the slide groove 61. After the position adjustment is completed, the shift pin 62 enters the corresponding gear slot 61a under the elastic force of the elastic member 64.

[0040] The first waist pad 41, the second waist pad 42, and the third waist pad 43 are all narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

[0042] Side wing plates 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the waist support assembly, and the side wing plates 7 are rotatably connected to the chair back 1. The rotating shaft of the side wing plates 7 and the chair back 1 adopts a rotating shaft with self-damping. The rotating shaft with self-damping is an existing technology and can be directly purchased on the market.

[0043] The outer end of the side wing plate 7 is bent and extended forward to form a raised portion 71 .

[0044] The waist support structure of the present invention is composed of a first waist pad 41, a second waist pad 42, and a third waist pad 43 to form a waist pad combination. The first waist pad 41, the second waist pad 42, and the third waist pad 43 are arranged from top to bottom, and their widths gradually increase from top to bottom. Not only each waist pad is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, but the combined waist pad combination is also narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Such a design can better provide support for the user's waist.

[0045] The first waist pad 41 is hinged to the upper end of the upper elastic sheet 31, the third waist pad 43 is hinged to the lower end of the lower elastic sheet 32, and the second waist pad 42 is hinged to the bracket 2. That is to say, the first waist pad 41, the second waist pad 42, and the third waist pad 43 are all rotatably connected to the installation position so that they can rotate around the hinge axis; at the same time, the first waist pad 41 and the third waist pad 43 are elastically connected to the bracket 2, so that the entire waist pad combination has good adaptability and can better fit the user's waist, thereby improving good supporting force.

[0046] In addition, the side wing panels 7 on both sides of the lumbar support assembly can provide support for both sides of the user's waist, and the end raised portions 71 are provided so that the side wing panels 7 have better wrapping properties for the waist, which can further enhance the supporting force.
