[0026] By detachably connecting the first support column 2 and the second support column 3, and by driving the second support column 3 vertically via the drive assembly 4, the height of the second support column 3 can be changed, thereby changing the height of the backrest bracket 5. At the same time, by slidingly connecting the lumbar support bracket 6 to the first support column 2 and adjusting the height of the lumbar support bracket 6 via the adjustment assembly 7, the height of the backrest and lumbar support can be adjusted to meet the needs of different users, thereby improving the serviceability and comfort of the chair.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, sliding holes 8 are provided at both ends of the top surface of the first support column 2 along its length direction, and reinforcing plates 9 corresponding to the sliding holes 8 are fixedly connected at both ends of the bottom surface of the second support column 3, which can enhance the connection strength between the first support column 2 and the second support column 3. The two reinforcing plates 9 are respectively slidably connected in the two sliding holes 8 and can slide in the sliding holes 8 following the movement of the first support column 2.

[0028] Specifically, the driving assembly 4 includes a threaded rod 401 and a threaded barrel 402. A mounting hole is provided through the middle of the top surface of the first support column 2. One end of the threaded barrel 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second support column 3, and the other end of the threaded barrel 402 is slidably connected to the mounting hole. One end of the threaded rod 401 is threadedly connected to the threaded barrel 402, and the other end of the threaded rod 401 passes through the base 1 and is rotatably connected to the base 1.

[0029] The threaded rod 401 is rotated to drive the threaded cylinder 402 to slide in the mounting hole, thereby driving the second support column 3 fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder 402 to move closer to or away from the first support column 2.

[0030] Specifically, one end of the threaded rod 401 passes through the base 1 and is fixedly connected to the knob 10. It is convenient to manually rotate the threaded rod 401 to adjust the height of the backrest.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the adjustment component 7 includes a shell 701, a rack 702, a gear 703 and a drive unit. The shell 701 is fixedly connected to the lumbar support bracket 6, the rack 702 is vertically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first support column 2, the inner wall of the shell 701 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 704, the gear 703 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 704, and the gear 703 is meshed with the rack 702; the drive unit is transmission-connected to the gear 703 and is used to drive the gear 703 to rotate.

[0032] Specifically, the driving unit includes a worm 705 and a worm wheel 706 . The worm 705 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 701 , and the worm wheel 706 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 704 . The worm 705 and the worm wheel 706 are meshed and driven.

[0033] By rotating the worm 705, the worm wheel 706 is driven to rotate, and further the rotating shaft 704 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the gear 703 to rotate. Under the action of the rack 702 engaged therewith, the housing 701 and the lumbar support fixing frame 6 are driven to slide up and down on the outer wall of the first support column 2 to adjust the height of the lumbar support.

[0034] Specifically, one end of the worm 705 passes through the housing 701 and is fixedly connected to a rocker 707. The worm 705 can be manually rotated to adjust the lumbar support.

[0035] Working principle of the present invention: When the present invention is used, when the user needs to adjust the height of the seat back, he or she rotates the knob 10. The knob 10 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 401, so the knob 10 will drive the threaded rod 401 to rotate. The threaded rod 401 and the threaded barrel 402 are threadedly connected. When the threaded rod 401 rotates, the threaded barrel 402 will move in the vertical direction along the threaded rod 401. The threaded barrel 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the second support column 3, so as the threaded barrel 402 moves, the second support column 3 will also move closer to or away from the first support column 2 in the vertical direction accordingly. The backrest fixing frame 5 at the top of the second support column 3 moves accordingly, thereby driving the seat back to rise or fall, thereby achieving height adjustment.

[0036] When the user needs to adjust the lumbar support position, they rotate the rocker 707, which is fixedly connected to the worm 705. This rotation of the rocker 707 drives the worm 705 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 705 drives the gear 703 through the worm gear mechanism. Because the gear 703 meshes with the rack 702, the rotation of the gear 703 translates into movement of the lumbar support bracket 6 along the rack 702. This movement of the lumbar support bracket 6 causes the lumbar support to change its position on the first support column 2, thereby adjusting the lumbar support position.

[0037] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. Reference can be made to the common and similar parts between the various embodiments.
