Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of chairs, in particular to a footrest and an office chair with multiple adjustment structures. Background Art

[0002] In modern life, footrests, as accessories that enhance riding comfort, are widely used in various applications, including but not limited to office chairs, strollers, and assistive medical devices. These devices provide an additional support point, helping to relieve leg fatigue, promote blood circulation, and ultimately enhance the overall user experience.

[0003] To meet the needs of different users in different scenarios, footrest design often needs to consider its convenience and practicality. Currently, the most common footrest designs on the market use a telescopic and flip-up structure. This design allows the footrest to be stored when not in use, reducing space and maintaining the neatness and aesthetics of the equipment. Specifically, the footrest can be adjusted in length through a telescopic mechanism or folded and hidden under the seat cushion or other concealed location through a flip mechanism, allowing for quick storage and deployment.

[0004] However, while this retractable and flip-up structure improves the portability and space efficiency of the pedals to a certain extent, it still has some limitations in practical application. First, due to its relatively simple structural design, the pedals often lack sufficient adjustment function when extended, and cannot be precisely adjusted to individual user differences (such as height and leg length). As a result, users may not be able to find a pedal position that is completely suitable for them, which affects the comfort and performance of the pedals. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems and provide a footrest and an office chair with multiple adjustment structures.

[0006] The first pivot arm is provided with a first pivot arm, an angle locking assembly, a telescopic arm and a second pivot arm, wherein the second pivot arm is provided with a rotation slot, the first pivot arm is provided with an angle adjustment shaft extending toward the rotation slot, the angle adjustment shaft is provided with a mounting slot, the angle locking assembly is installed in the mounting slot, the inner side wall of the rotation slot is provided with a plurality of locking positions, the angle adjustment shaft rotates in the rotation slot, and the angle locking assembly switches between the plurality of locking positions to form angle adjustment between the mounting member and the first pivot arm, the first pivot arm is also provided with a telescopic slot, one side of the telescopic arm is telescopically arranged in the telescopic slot to form telescopic adjustment, the other side of the telescopic arm is also provided with a flip shaft and a limit plate, the second pivot arm is rotatably installed on the flip shaft to form flip adjustment, and the second pivot arm is limited by the limit plate when flipping forward and backward.

[0007] According to the footrest with multiple adjustment structures of the present application, the footrest of the present application can be installed on items such as office chairs that need to install a footrest through the mounting part. An angle adjustment is formed between the first rotating arm and the mounting part, so that the user can adjust the angle of the footrest extended from the mounting part. The first rotating arm can be switched between various positioning angles through the angle locking assembly. Telescopic adjustment is formed between the telescopic arm and the first rotating arm, so that the user can adjust the length of the footrest. Flipping adjustment is formed between the telescopic arm and the second rotating arm. The second rotating arm flips back and forth, which can facilitate the user to step on the second rotating arm or store the second rotating arm.

[0008] Furthermore, a ratchet bar is provided on the inner side wall of the rotation groove, and the plurality of locking positions are provided between the ratchet teeth on the ratchet bar. The angle locking assembly includes a locking tooth, and the locking tooth includes a tooth portion. The mounting groove has an opening corresponding to the direction of the ratchet bar. The tooth portion extends from the opening and extends into the locking position to be one-way locked with the ratchet bar, thereby locking the rotation angle of the first rotating arm in a one-way adjustable manner. The angle adjustment formed by the ratchet bar and the locking tooth is a state of being locked in one direction and being able to rotate and adjust the angle in the other direction. It is generally configured to be one-way angle adjustment when rotating upward and one-way locked when rotating downward.

[0009] Furthermore, the angle locking assembly further includes a first elastic member, and the locking tooth further includes a stopper, the stopper being received in the mounting slot. One side of the first elastic member presses against the inner wall of the mounting slot, and the other side presses against the stopper, allowing the tooth to elastically expand and contract within the opening. The first elastic member is a spring, and the elastic force of the first elastic member maintains contact between the locking tooth and the ratchet bar.

[0010] Furthermore, the angle locking assembly further comprises a top block, wherein the first rotating arm is provided with a movable groove connected to the mounting groove, and the top block is slidably disposed in the movable groove; when the top block extends from the movable groove into the mounting groove, the top block abuts against the limiting portion, the first elastic member is elastically compressed, the tooth portion disengages from contact with the ratchet bar, and the first rotating arm enters a free state in which it can freely rotate; when the top block is reset to the movable groove, the top block and the limiting portion are released from abutment, the first elastic member lifts the locking tooth, and the tooth portion contacts the ratchet bar, thereby restoring the adjustment state in which the rotation angle of the first rotating arm can be unidirectionally adjusted and locked. The locking tooth is disengaged by the ratchet bar and the locking tooth by the top block, thereby allowing the first rotating arm to enter a free state in which it can freely rotate; after the top block is reset, the locking tooth resumes contact with the ratchet bar under the action of the first elastic member, thereby allowing it to enter an angle adjustment state.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating groove is further provided with a first limiting groove, into which the top block extends, and the top block moves in the first limiting groove. The two end surfaces of the first limiting groove corresponding to the movement path are a free end surface and an adjustment end surface. When the free end surface abuts against the top block, the top block extends from the movable groove into the mounting groove; when the adjustment end surface abuts against the top block, the top block returns to the movable groove. The first limiting groove cooperates with the top block so that when the first rotating arm is adjusted to a limit in one direction, the free end surface abuts against the top block, causing the top block to extend into the mounting groove. The top block releases the one-way locking state of the ratchet bar and the locking tooth, and the first elastic member is compressed, at which point the first rotating arm can be freely adjusted. When the first rotating arm is adjusted to an initial position for angle adjustment, the adjustment end surface abuts against the top block, causing the top block to return to the movable groove. The first elastic member releases its elastic force, and when the first rotating arm rotates until the locking tooth contacts the ratchet bar, the first rotating arm can resume angle adjustment.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting member is provided with a first elastic positioning bead, and the first pivot arm is provided with a first positioning groove. The first pivot arm has a storage position, and when in the storage position, the first elastic positioning bead extends into the first positioning groove for positioning. The first elastic positioning bead is elastically retractable and cooperates with the first positioning groove to position the mounting member and the first pivot arm.

[0013] Furthermore, a second limiting slot is defined in the telescopic slot, and a limiting post and a roller are provided on the telescopic arm. The limiting post extends into the second limiting slot to limit the telescopic arm's extension length, while the roller rolls along the telescopic slot. The limiting post and the second limiting slot cooperate to prevent the telescopic arm from disengaging from the telescopic slot, and the roller ensures more stable rolling of the telescopic arm within the slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the telescopic arm is provided with a second elastic positioning bead, and the second pivoting arm is provided with a second positioning groove. During the flipping process of the second pivoting arm, the second elastic positioning bead extends into the second positioning groove for positioning. The second elastic positioning bead is elastically retractable and cooperates with the second positioning groove to position the telescopic arm and the second pivoting arm.

[0015] Furthermore, the second positioning slot is provided in plurality, so that the second rotating arm can be positioned in a plurality of positions, thereby preventing the second rotating arm from being positioned when operating the telescopic arm and the first rotating arm, without interfering with the movement of the first rotating arm and the telescopic arm, and without causing the second rotating arm to shake during the movement.
