[0034] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: an ergonomic detection device, including a mounting rod 2 installed on a chair 1, a cushion 3 provided on the mounting rod 2, a detection component 4 for detecting the lumbar curve of the user installed inside the cushion 3, a slider 5 slidably connected to the mounting rod 2, a mounting plate 12 fixedly connected to the slider 5, the cushion 3 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12, and a locking component 6 installed between the mounting rod 2 and the slider 5, so that the slider 5 can be fixedly connected to the mounting rod 2 under the action of the locking component 6.

[0035] This solution also includes a controller 20, which is electrically connected to an alarm 21. The detection component 4 includes multiple pressure sensors 22 arranged in a matrix on the cushion 3. All pressure sensors 22 are electrically connected to the controller 20. Mounting rods 2 on the pressure sensors 22 are fixedly connected to the backrest of the chair 1, extending along the height direction of the backrest. A slider 5 is slidably connected to the mounting rod 2 and can be fixedly connected to the mounting rod 2 under the action of a locking component 6. The cushion 3 is fixedly connected to the slider 5, allowing the cushion 3 to move along the length direction of the mounting rod 2 with the slider 5.

[0036] In use, the user unlocks the locking assembly 6, allowing the backrest 3 to slide along the length of the mounting rod 2 along with the slider 5 and the mounting plate 12. After the backrest 3 moves to the set position, the locking assembly 6 fixes the slider 5 to the mounting rod 2. The user leans against the backrest 3, applying varying pressure to the multiple pressure sensors 22. The pressure sensors 22 transmit electrical signals to the controller 20, which analyzes the user's lumbar curve to determine their posture. When the user's posture is incorrect, the controller 20 outputs an electrical signal to the alarm 21, which responds, reminding the user to maintain proper posture and prevent lumbar spine problems. The backrest 3 also provides lumbar support, further preventing lumbar spine issues.

[0037] The technical solution of this application is based on ergonomics. Multiple pressure sensors 22 transmit the collected data to a controller 20 for analysis and judgment of the user's posture. When the user's posture is incorrect, the controller 20 outputs an electrical signal to an alarm 21, which responds, reminding the user to correct their posture. Furthermore, the backrest 3 provides support for the user's lower back, thus preventing lumbar spine problems. This fully aligns with the design principles of ergonomics, adapting to human physiological and psychological characteristics to reduce work-related injuries. By fully utilizing ergonomic design concepts and combining them with a chair, the effect of reducing work-related injuries and preventing lumbar spine problems is achieved.

After the cushion 3 moves to the set position, the insert rod 7 is inserted into the first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9 to fix the slider 5 to the mounting rod 2.

[0042] In this embodiment: a tension spring 10 is sleeved on the insertion rod 7. The two ends of the tension spring 10 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the insertion rod 7 and the slider 5, respectively. When the tension spring 10 is in a naturally extended state, one end of the insertion rod 7 protrudes from the first through hole 8 and is inserted into the second through hole 9.

[0043] In this scheme: a tension spring 10 is sleeved on the insertion rod 7, and the two ends of the tension spring 10 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the insertion rod 7 and the slider 5 respectively.
