[0032] In addition, the terms "first", "second" and the like are only used for differentiation in description and have no special meaning.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the drawings, the present embodiment provides an electric backrest, comprising an upper grid framework 1, a lower grid framework 2, a middle grid framework 3 and a driver 4, wherein:

[0034] The upper end of the middle grid framework 3 is rotationally connected with the upper grid framework 1, and the lower end of the middle grid framework 3 is rotationally connected with the lower grid framework 2;

[0035] The upper grid framework 1 is provided with first hooks 5 fixed with the seat framework on both sides, and the upper grid framework 1 can be flipped around the axis of the first hooks 5 on both sides;

[0036] The lower grid framework 2 is provided with second hooks 6 fixed with the seat framework on both sides, and the lower grid framework 2 can be flipped around the axis of the second hooks 6 on both sides;

[0037] The driver 4 is arranged on the middle grid framework 3, and a pull rope 7 is connected between the first output end of the driver 4 and the upper grid framework 1 and between the second output end of the driver 4 and the lower grid framework 2, respectively, and the driver 4 is used to tighten one pull rope 7 and loosen the other pull rope 7, so that the upper end or the lower end of the middle grid framework 3 is arched.

[0038] Thus, by tightening one pull rope 7 and loosening the other pull rope 7 through the driver 4, the upper lattice framework 1 and the lower lattice framework 2 are correspondingly turned over, the upper end or the lower end of the middle lattice framework 3 is arched, and the waist support arching position and the arching degree are adjustable, and only one driver 4 is needed to complete the four-way adjustment, thereby greatly simplifying the structural complexity of the electric backrest, reducing the assembly difficulty and the manufacturing cost.

[0039] Optionally, the upper lattice framework 1 includes two symmetrically arranged first C-shaped steel wires 11, the two first C-shaped steel wires 11 are connected through a plurality of first transverse steel wires 12, and the first hook 5 is provided on the first C-shaped steel wire 11; the lower lattice framework 2 includes two symmetrically arranged second C-shaped steel wires 21, the two second C-shaped steel wires 21 are connected through a plurality of second transverse steel wires 22, and the second hook 6 is provided on the second C-shaped steel wire 21; and the middle lattice framework 3 includes two symmetrically arranged third C-shaped steel wires 31, the two third C-shaped steel wires 31 are connected through a plurality of third transverse steel wires 32, and each third transverse steel wire 32 is connected through a longitudinal steel wire 33.

[0040] Thus, by interweaving each steel wire into the upper lattice framework 1, the lower lattice framework 2 and the middle lattice framework 3, the structure is simple but can meet the use requirements, and the split type framework structure is beneficial to realize more flexible support adjustment, and the structure is ingenious.

[0041] Further, the first C-shaped steel wire 11, the third C-shaped steel wire 31 and the second C-shaped steel wire 21 are longitudinally aligned, and the lower end of the first C-shaped steel wire 11 and the upper end of the third C-shaped steel wire 31 and the lower end of the third C-shaped steel wire 31 and the upper end of the second C-shaped steel wire 21 are respectively wrapped through the fixed metal clip 8.

[0042] Among them, the fixed metal clip 8 is a standard part, which ensures that the first C-shaped steel wire 11 and the third C-shaped steel wire 31 and the third C-shaped steel wire 31 and the second C-shaped steel wire 21 form a connection while also allowing relative turning motion. In addition, the length of the middle lattice framework 3 is significantly longer than the length of the upper lattice framework 1 and the lower lattice framework 2, which can prevent the upper lattice framework 1 and the lower lattice framework 2 from appearing at a dead point position when turning over relative to the middle lattice framework 3, and ensure that the structure is normal and reliable.

[0043] Optionally, the upper end of the first C-shaped steel wire 11 and the lower end of the second C-shaped steel wire 21 are respectively provided with a hook portion 9 for fixing the corresponding pull rope 7.

[0044] Thus, the hook portion 9 is connected with the pull rope 7, and the hook portion 9 serves as a fixed point when force is applied, ensuring that the driver 4 stably transmits the pulling force when performing the action.

[0045] Optionally, the driver 4 comprises a driving bar 41 which can move up and down, the upper end of the driving bar 41 is connected with the upper grid framework 1 through a pull rope 7, and the lower end of the driving bar 41 is connected with the lower grid framework 2 through another pull rope 7.

[0046] Thus, by moving the driving bar 41 up and down, one of the two pull ropes 7 is tightened and the other is loosened, and only one driver 4 is needed to complete the adjustment of the upper end arch or the lower end arch of the middle grid framework 3, thereby reducing the structural complexity.

[0047] Further, the driver 4 further comprises a motor 42 and an axle 43, the driving bar 41 is provided with a rack part 44, the output shaft of the motor 42 is provided with a worm 45, the axle 43 is provided with a gear which cooperates with the rack part 44 for transmission and a worm wheel which cooperates with the worm 45 for transmission, Figure 2 The gear and the worm wheel on the axle 43 are not shown.

[0048] Thus, the motor 42 drives the worm 45 to rotate the worm wheel, and the gear coaxial with the worm wheel cooperates with the rack part 44 to move the driving bar 41 up and down, thereby achieving the adjustment of the upper end arch or the lower end arch of the middle grid framework 3. Through this design, the precise control of the motor 42 can realize the fine adjustment of the arching angle of the middle grid framework 3 to adapt to the use requirements in different scenarios.

[0049] Specific adjustment process:

[0050] 1) When the waist support position needs to be adjusted upward, the motor 42 sends a command to drive the driving bar 41 to move downward, so that the pull rope 7 above the driver 4 is tightened and the pull rope 7 below the driver 4 is loosened, the upper end of the upper grid framework 1 is pulled to flip relative to the first hook 5, thereby causing the lower end of the upper grid framework 1 to rotate relative to the upper end of the middle grid framework 3 to arch, and the lower end of the middle grid framework 3 is concave under the linkage, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0051] 2) When the waist support position needs to be lowered, the motor 42 operates in the opposite direction, the driving bar 41 moves upward, at this time the pull rope 7 above the driver 4 is loosened and the pull rope 7 below the driver 4 is tightened, the lower end of the lower grid framework 2 is flipped relative to the second hook 6 due to being pulled, thereby causing the upper end of the lower grid framework 2 to rotate relative to the lower end of the middle grid framework 3 to arch, and the upper end of the middle grid framework 3 is concave under the linkage, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0052] In addition, the stroke of the driving bar 41 controlled by the motor 42 can realize the fine adjustment of the arching degree of the middle grid framework 3, thereby meeting the individualized needs of different users for the height of the waist support.

[0053] On this basis, the embodiment further provides a seat, comprising a seat framework, a seat foam and the electric backrest, the electric backrest is arranged between the seat framework and the seat foam, and the first hook 5 and the second hook 6 of the electric backrest are fixed on the seat framework.

[0054] Therefore, the seat structure made of the electric backrest is simple, easy to assemble and greatly reduces manufacturing cost.

[0055] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the implementation modes of the present application. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present application. Here, it is unnecessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation modes. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application claim.
