DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The utility model discloses a specific embodiment as follows and further describes the technical scheme of the utility model in connection with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] As Figures 2-7 The waist support lifting mechanism comprises a waist support connecting body 2 linearly lifting and moving relative to a locking plate 1, the waist support connecting body 2 is provided with a locking block groove 21 facing the locking plate 1, a composite motion locking block 3 is connected to the locking block groove 21 through a transverse elastic element 4 and can lift and move and swing relative to the locking block groove 21 with the transverse elastic element 4 as a support point, and the locking plate 1 is provided with a locking groove 11; when the transverse elastic element 4 releases the transverse elastic force, the composite motion locking block 3 and the locking groove 11 are matched through a concave-convex locking structure, the top of the locking groove 11 is provided with a first unlocking position 12 for canceling the locking of the concave-convex locking structure, and an unlocking maintaining structure is arranged between the locking block groove 21 and the composite motion locking block 3 for maintaining the unlocking state of the composite motion locking block 3, and the bottom side of the locking groove 11 is provided with a second unlocking position 13 for canceling the maintaining state of the unlocking maintaining structure.

[0030] That is, at the two stroke endpoints of the relative movement of the connecting body 2 and the locking plate 1, mechanisms for unlocking and restoring the locking of the locking tongue 33 and the locking tooth groove 14 are arranged respectively, the position of the composite motion locking block 3 in the locking block groove 21 is changed through the pushing of the locking tongue 33 at the upper and lower ends of the locking groove 11, so that the composite motion locking block 3 can be switched between the locking position and the unlocking position without additional control components, and the trouble of needing to operate with both hands at the same time each time the waist support is adjusted is avoided.

[0031] The elastic element 4 can be a spring or a spring sheet or the like that can bear extrusion and bending force.

[0032] In the embodiment, the unlocking maintaining structure comprises an unlocking maintaining surface one 32 arranged on the side of the composite motion locking block 3 away from the transverse elastic element 4 and an unlocking maintaining surface two 22 arranged at the bottom of the locking block groove 21, and the unlocking maintaining surface one 32 and the unlocking maintaining surface two 22 are distributed along the vertical direction.

[0033] In the unlocking state, the unlocking maintaining surface one 32 and the unlocking maintaining surface two 22 are kept in the state of abutting against each other under the action of the transverse elastic element 4, and the vertical distribution of the two is consistent with the movement direction of the connecting body 2, which is beneficial to the vertical separation of the two when unlocking is needed.

[0034] In the embodiment, the unlocking maintaining surface two 22 and the second unlocking position 13 are arranged in a relative vertical distribution.

[0035] The two forces are perpendicular to each other and do not interfere with each other, so that the upward movement of the composite motion lock block 3 can be stable when the locking cooperation is withdrawn, and the waist rest can be more smooth when manually adjusted.

[0036] In this embodiment, the transverse elastic member 4 is in a straight line state when the convex-concave locking structure is in locking cooperation, and is in an arch shape state when the convex-concave locking structure is in unlocking cooperation.

[0037] When the convex-concave locking structure is in locking cooperation, the composite motion lock block 3 is in a locking holding state, at this time, the composite motion lock block 3 is in contact with the locking tooth groove 14 on one side, and the contact direction of the two is consistent with the setting mode of the transverse elastic member 4, so that the transverse elastic member 4 can keep a straight line state, and when the composite motion lock block 3 is in an unlocking holding state, the composite motion lock block 3 is displaced and the convex-concave locking structure is separated, and the force on the contact end of the composite motion lock block 3 is horizontally displaced from the transverse elastic member 4, so that the transverse elastic member 4 is bent to an arch shape.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first unlocking position 12 includes an inclined unlocking surface 121 and an unlocking contact surface 122 connected to the top side of the inclined unlocking surface 121, and the inclined unlocking surface 121 and the unlocking contact surface 122 are distributed at an obtuse angle.

[0039] The inclined unlocking surface 121 extends from the locking tooth groove 14, and when the waist rest rises, the locking tongue 33 is pushed by the inclined unlocking surface 121 from the locking tooth groove 14 to the other side to separate from the locking tooth groove 14 and the locking tongue 33, and then the locking tongue 33 is acted on by the unlocking contact surface 122, forcing the composite motion lock block 3 to move away from the convex-concave locking structure and allowing the first unlocking holding surface 32 and the second unlocking holding surface 22 to abut to enter the unlocking holding state.

[0040] The inclined unlocking surface 121 and the unlocking contact surface 122 are connected at an obtuse angle, so that the locking tongue 33 slides more smoothly from the inclined unlocking surface 121 to the unlocking contact surface 122.

[0041] In this embodiment, the convex-concave locking structure includes a locking tongue 33 arranged in the composite motion lock block 3 and extending into the locking groove 11, and a plurality of locking tooth grooves 14 are arranged on the groove wall of the locking groove 11, and the locking tongue 33 cooperates with any one of the locking tooth grooves 14.

[0042] The locking tooth groove 14 is a ratchet with the tooth tip upward, and the locking tongue 33 slides upward along the ratchet contour with the connecting body 2, and when the locking tongue 33 slides to the tooth abdomen of the ratchet, it can be lifted in the vertical direction, i.e. the waist rest is fixed at the required height, and each locking tooth groove 14 corresponds to a different height of the waist rest.

[0043] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the locking tongue 33 protrudes from the unlocking holding surface 1 32 on the side away from the transverse elastic member 4 .

[0044] The portion of the compound motion locking block 3 disposed in the locking block slot 21 is flush with the slot, and the protruding portion of the lock tongue 33 forms a 90° angle with the unlocking retaining surface 1 32, which can just be attached to the slot edge of the locking block slot 21, so that the compound motion locking block 3 maintains better stability when moving in the locking block slot 21.

[0045] In this embodiment, the top side of the compound motion locking block 3 has an arc convex surface 31, the top side of the locking block groove 21 has an arc groove 23, and the diameter of the notch of the arc groove 23 connected to the locking block groove 21 is larger than the diameter of the arc convex surface 31.

[0046] The part of the compound motion locking block 3 in the locking block groove 21 is generally a rectangle with a semicircular short side, and the top side of the slider groove 21 also has an arc groove 23 with a larger diameter. The arc convex surface 31 abuts against the arc groove 23. When the lock tongue 33 slides along the edge of the locking tooth groove 14 under the action of the transverse elastic member 4, the compound motion locking block 3 can swing around the semicircular axis.

[0047] In this embodiment, the transverse elastic member 4 is a spring, and a first transverse column is provided on the side of the compound motion lock block 3 away from the lock tongue 33. One end of the spring is sleeved on the first transverse column and presses against the side of the compound motion lock block 3 away from the lock tongue 33. A second transverse column is provided on the groove wall of the lock block groove 21, and the other end of the spring is sleeved on the second transverse column and presses against the groove wall of the lock block groove 21.
