An adjusting rod 51 is inserted in the main air chamber inside the adjusting frame 5, and the bottom end of the adjusting rod 51 is fixedly connected to the adjusting piston 52. When the mounting connector at the top of the piston rod 2 transmits pressure downward, the built-in piston 31 compresses the main air chamber in the outer shell 1. When the adjusting piston 52 is fixed and seals the adjusting frame 5, the piston rod 2 supports the top of the mounting connector, and the adjusting The top end of the rod 51 is fixedly connected to an adjusting plate 54, which is located outside the adjusting frame 5.

When it is necessary to adjust the supporting strength of the piston rod 2, that is, to adjust the damping force of the built-in piston 3 pressing down, the adjusting plate 54 is rotated, and the adjusting plate 54 drives the limit member 55 to rotate and rise in the limit chamber 56, thereby expanding the space under the adjusting piston 52 and reducing the damping force of the built-in piston 3 pressing down. When the gas spring is installed on an office chair, it is suitable for users with lighter weight. Similarly, when the adjusting plate 54 is rotated to drive the adjusting piston 52 to descend, the space under the adjusting piston 52 is reduced, and the damping force of the built-in piston 3 pressing down is increased.
