Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seat armrest technology, and in particular to a rotatable and height-adjustable seat armrest. Background Technology
[0002] Armrests are an important part of chair design. Their most basic function is to provide support for the arms and reduce the fatigue caused by the arms being suspended in the air when sitting for a long time. Whether it is an office chair, a dining chair or a sofa, armrests are an indispensable design element of the chair.
[0003] Most existing seat armrests have adjustment functions, such as lateral and longitudinal movement. For example, patent announcement number CN217447156U discloses an armrest mechanism and seat, in which the support member can be rotated and adjusted in angle from different directions to adapt to various usage needs. By moving the support member closer to or away from the first connecting member, the height of the armrest can be adjusted, thus better adapting to various usage needs.
[0004] While the aforementioned utility model patent enables the armrest to rotate and its height to be adjusted, the rotation angle of the armrest is limited, and it cannot achieve omnidirectional rotation in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, the angle of the armrest surface cannot be adjusted; it remains horizontally reversed. When the user raises their arm, it only provides single-point support for the elbow and cannot adjust the angle according to the arm's position, thus failing to effectively alleviate fatigue caused by the arm being suspended in the air.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a rotatable and height-adjustable seat armrest to address the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

A lifting cylinder 3 is sleeved and slidably connected to the outer wall of the support cylinder 2. An adjustment component for adjusting the height of the lifting cylinder 3 is provided inside the support cylinder 2. A support seat 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting cylinder 3. The support seat 4 includes a base plate, two support plates, and a rotating shaft. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here. A support plate 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft of the support seat 4. A limit component is provided on the support seat 4. A disc 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 5. A circular groove 7 is opened on the top surface of the disc 6. Several positioning grooves 8 are evenly distributed along its circumference on the bottom surface of the groove 7. A vertically arranged rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom surface of the groove 7. A turntable 10 is sleeved and rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9. A positioning sheath 11 adapted to the positioning grooves 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the turntable 10. A handrail body 12 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the turntable 10.
[0030] In one specific embodiment, a plurality of positioning holes 13 are provided on one side wall of the support cylinder 2 along its height direction, and a mounting hole 14 is provided on the top of the lifting cylinder 3. The adjustment assembly includes a first connecting plate 15, which passes through the mounting hole 14 and is slidably connected thereto, and a positioning element is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first connecting plate 15.
[0031] Specifically, the positioning component includes a second connecting plate 16, which is vertically fixed to the bottom surface of the first connecting plate 15. The bottom of the second connecting plate 16 extends into the support cylinder 2, and a limiting block 17 adapted to the positioning hole 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second connecting plate 16. A baffle 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting plate 15 located inside the lifting cylinder 3. A compression spring 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle 20 away from the mounting hole 14, and the other end of the compression spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the lifting cylinder 3.
[0032] Specifically, a slide plate 19 is fixedly connected directly below the compression spring 18, and one end of the slide plate 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting cylinder 3. The bottom surface of the baffle 20 is slidably connected to the top surface of the slide plate 19.
[0033] Specifically, a button 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting plate 15 located outside the lifting cylinder 3.
[0034] In one specific embodiment, the limiting component includes a knob 22. A threaded hole 23 is provided through the side wall of the support base 4. One end of the knob 22 is fixedly connected to a threaded post 24, which is threaded into the threaded hole 23 and has one end abutting against the side wall of the support plate 5. By rotating the knob 22, the threaded post 24 can be moved in the threaded hole 23, thereby tightening or loosening the support plate 5 and limiting the rotation of the handrail body 122.
[0035] In one embodiment, a limiting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 9. This prevents the turntable 10 from falling off the rotating shaft 9.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the rotatable and height-adjustable armrest of this utility model, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the armrest body 12, press the button 21 manually to drive the first connecting plate 15 to move the limiting block 17 away from the positioning hole 13 on the support cylinder 2. At the same time, the first connecting plate 15 compresses the compression spring 18. At this time, the lifting cylinder 3 can slide up and down on the outer wall of the support cylinder 2. After the lifting cylinder 3 is slid to the required height, release the button 21. The restoring force of the compression spring 18 pushes the first connecting plate 15 to reset, and the limiting block 17 re-engages into the positioning hole 13, thereby fixing the height of the lifting cylinder 3.
[0037] When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal angle of the handrail body 12, manually lift the handrail body 12 to drive the turntable 10 and its bottom positioning sheath 11 out of the positioning groove 8. Then, the handrail body 12 can be rotated in all directions around the rotating shaft 9. After adjusting the horizontal angle of the handrail body 12 to the required position, release the handrail body 12. Under the action of gravity, the turntable 10 drives the positioning sheath 11 to move down and re-lock into the positioning groove 8, thereby limiting the horizontal position of the handrail body 12.
[0038] When it is necessary to adjust the vertical angle of the handrail body 12, manually rotate the knob 22 to adjust the position of the threaded post 24 in the threaded hole 23, reduce the tightness of the threaded post 24 against the support plate 5, and then rotate the handrail 12 to change its vertical angle. When the vertical angle of the handrail body 12 is adjusted to the desired position, rotate the knob 22 in the opposite direction to increase the tightness of the threaded post 24 against the support plate 5, thereby limiting the vertical position of the handrail body 12.
