However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 An adjustable height chair for the elderly includes a chair 1, a support 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a moving mechanism 4. The chair 1 is mounted on the support 2, and the support 2 is mounted on the lifting mechanism 3, which is used to adjust the height of the chair. The moving mechanism 4 is located below the lifting mechanism 3 and is used to control the movement of the chair.
[0028] Reference Figure 1, the chair 1 includes a seat 11, a backrest 12, armrests 13, and a support mechanism 14. The seat 11 is placed parallel to the ground and fixedly connected to the top end of the bracket 2. The backrest 12 is vertically fixed at one end of the top surface of the seat 11 along its width direction, and silicone pads 15 are fixedly provided on the seat 11 and the backrest 12 respectively to improve the comfort of the seat. A headrest 16 is fixedly provided at the top end of the side of the backrest 12 close to the seat 11, and a lumbar pillow 17 is fixedly provided at one end of the top surface of the seat 11 close to the backrest 12. The number of armrests 13 is two, and the armrests 13 are arranged in a "冂" shape. The two armrests 13 are respectively fixedly provided at both ends of the seat 11 along its length direction, and the bottom ends of the armrests 13 are fixed to the bracket 2. Rubber pads 18 are fixedly provided on the top surfaces of the two armrests 13 respectively, which also helps to improve the comfort of the seat. A control panel 131 is also fixedly provided on the side of one of the armrests 13, and the control panel 131 is used to control the lifting mechanism 3, the moving mechanism 4, and the support mechanism 14. An installation plate 21 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the bracket 2, and the installation plate 21 is arranged parallel to the seat 11. A footrest 22 is fixedly provided at one end of the top surface of the installation plate 21 away from the backrest 12. The footrest 22 is arranged parallel to the top surface of the installation plate 21, and an anti-slip pad 221 is fixedly provided on the footrest 22.
[0029] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the support mechanism 14 includes cylinders 141, first connecting plates 142, second connecting plates 143, and support plates 144. The number of cylinders 141 is two, and the two cylinders 141 are electrically connected to the control panel 131. The two cylinders 141 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bracket 2 along its length direction under the seat 11, and the piston rods of the cylinders 141 face away from the backrest 12. The cylinders 141 are arranged along the width direction of the seat 11, and one end of each cylinder 141 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bracket 2. The number of the first connecting plates 142 and the second connecting plates 143 is two, and they respectively correspond to the two cylinders 141 one by one. One end of the first connecting plate 142 along its length direction is fixedly provided on the piston rod of the cylinder 141, and a rotating rod 145 is fixedly provided at the end of the first connecting plate 142 away from the cylinder 141. One end of the second connecting plate 143 along its length direction is hinged to the rotating rod 145. The support plate 144 is arranged in an arc shape, and one end of the support plate 144 is hinged below the side of the seat 11 away from the backrest 12, and the other end is fixedly provided at the end of the second connecting plate 143 away from the rotating rod 145.
[0030] Since the top of the support plate 144 is hinged to the lower part of the seat 11 away from the backrest 12, the position of the top of the support plate 144 is essentially fixed. When the support mechanism 14 is not in use, the support plate 144 is in a vertical state. When in use, after the user sits on the seat 11, they can press the control panel 131. The control panel 131 can activate the cylinder 141, causing the piston rod of the cylinder 141 to extend, which will push the bottom of the support plate 144 upward. Since the position of the top of the support plate 144 remains unchanged, the top surface of the support plate 144 will eventually be approximately parallel to the top surface of the seat 11. The user can place their legs on the support plate 144, which will support the user's legs, making it easier for the user to rest and improving comfort. When not in use, pressing the control panel 131 again will retract the piston rod of the cylinder 141, causing the bottom of the support plate 144 to move downward, so that the support plate 144 is retracted under the seat 11 in a vertical state, without affecting the user's movement.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 The lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting assembly 31 and a drive assembly 32. A base 33 is spaced apart below the mounting plate 21, and the base 33 is parallel to the mounting plate 21. First fixing plates 211 are vertically fixed at both ends of the bottom surface of the mounting plate 21 along its width direction, and second fixing plates 331 are vertically fixed at both ends of the top surface of the base 33 along its width direction. There are two sets of lifting assemblies 31, arranged symmetrically between the mounting plate 21 and the base 33 at both ends of the mounting plate 21 along its length direction. Each set of lifting assemblies 31 includes a first slide rod 311, a second slide rod 312, a first connecting rod 313, and a second connecting rod 314. The first slide rod 311 is fixed between the two first fixing plates 211 and is arranged along the width direction of the mounting plate 21. The second slide rod 312 is fixed between the two second fixing plates 331 and is arranged along the width direction of the base 33. One end of the first slide rod 311 is fixed with a first connecting seat 315, and the other end is slidably connected to a second connecting seat 316. A first hinge rod 3151 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the first connecting seat 315, and a second hinge rod 3161 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the second connecting seat 316. A third connecting seat 317 is fixedly mounted below the first connecting seat 315, and a fourth connecting seat 318 is slidably connected to the other end of the second sliding rod 312. A third hinge rod 3171 is fixedly mounted at the top end of the third connecting seat 317, and a fourth hinge rod 3181 is fixedly mounted at the top end of the fourth connecting seat 318. The first connecting rod 313 and the second connecting rod 314 are arranged in a scissor-like configuration. The top end of the first connecting rod 313 is hinged to the first hinge rod 3151, and the bottom end is hinged to the fourth hinge rod 3181. The top end of the second connecting rod 314 is hinged to the second hinge rod 3161, and the bottom end is hinged to the third hinge rod 3171. The middle part of the first connecting rod 313 is also hinged to the middle part of the second connecting rod 314. The drive assembly 32 drives the two fourth connecting seats 318 to move.
[0032] When the drive assembly 32 is activated, it can move the two fourth connecting seats 318, causing the fourth connecting seats 318 to move closer to the third connecting seat 317. Since the first connecting rod 313 and the second connecting rod 314 are hinged in the middle, the second connecting seat 316 moves closer to the first connecting seat 315, thereby raising the height. Similarly, the drive assembly 32 can also move the two fourth connecting seats 318 away from the third connecting seat 317, thereby lowering the height, and finally adjusting the seat height.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 32 includes a first motor 321, a screw 322, and a slider 323. The control panel 131 is electrically connected to the first motor 321. The first motor 321 is fixed to the side of the second fixing plate 331 near the fourth connecting seat 318. The output shaft of the first motor 321 faces the first connecting seat 315 and passes through the second fixing plate 331 and is rotatably connected to it. A fifth connecting seat 324 is fixed to the top surface of the base 33 near the first connecting seat 315. The screw 322 is arranged along the width direction of the base 33. One end of the screw 322 is rotatably connected to the fifth connecting seat 324, and the other end is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 321. The screw 322 passes through the slider 323 and is threadedly connected to it. The two ends of the slider 323 along its length direction are respectively fixedly connected to the two fourth connecting seats 318.
[0034] When the first motor 321 is started, the output shaft of the first motor 321 can drive the screw 322 to rotate. Due to the threaded connection between the slider 323 and the screw 322 and the limiting effect of the two fourth connecting seats 318, the slider 323 can only move along the screw 322, thereby causing the two fourth connecting seats 318 to move and provide power to the lifting assembly 31.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 The moving mechanism 4 includes two driving wheels 41 and two driven wheels 42. The driving wheels 41 are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the base 33 near the foot pedal 22, and are located at both ends of the base 33 along its length. A second motor 43 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the base 33 near the two driving wheels 41. The output shaft of the second motor 43 is fixedly connected to the center position of the driving wheel 41, and the second motor 43 is electrically connected to the control panel 131. The driven wheels 42 are also two, rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the base 33 away from the driving wheels 41, and are located at both ends of the base 33 along its length. In use, pressing the control panel 131 activates the second motors 43, which drive the driving wheels 41 to rotate, thus causing the two driven wheels 42 to rotate, thereby moving the seat.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the user can press the control panel 131 to start the lifting mechanism 3 according to their height and physical condition, thereby adjusting the height of the chair 1. Then, the user can sit on the seat 11 and place their feet on the foot pedal 22. Alternatively, the user can start the support mechanism 14 through the control panel 131 to open the support plate 144 and place their legs on the support plate 144 to improve comfort. The user can also control the movement of the seat through the control panel 131, which improves convenience.
[0037] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
