[0030] The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment motor 6, which is fixed to the upper inner wall of the adjustment cavity 4. An adjustment screw 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the adjustment motor 6. An adjustment slide plate 8 and an auxiliary slide plate 9 are slidably connected inside the adjustment cavity 4. The auxiliary slide plate 9 is located below the adjustment slide plate 8 and behind the guide plate 11. The lower end of the adjustment screw 7 passes through the adjustment slide plate 8 and the auxiliary slide plate 9 sequentially and is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the adjustment cavity 4. The adjustment screw 7 is threadedly connected to the adjustment slide plate 8 and slidably connected to the auxiliary slide plate 9. Two connecting slots 10 are provided at the front ends of both the adjustment slide plate 8 and the auxiliary slide plate 9. The connecting slots 10 are located behind the adjustment slide rail 5. The rear end of the locking mechanism 14 extends into the connecting slot 10. In use, the lumbar support 3 provides support for the user's waist. When the height of the lumbar support 3 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting motor 6 drives the adjusting screw 7 to rotate. Then, through the cooperation of the adjusting screw 7 and the adjusting slide plate 8, the lumbar support 3 moves in the vertical direction. When the upper end of the connecting slider 13 on the rear side of the lumbar support 3 contacts the upper inner wall of the guide slide 12, the guide plate 11 and the auxiliary slide plate 9 can move upward together with the lumbar support 3. When the height of the lumbar support 3 is lowered, the lower end of the auxiliary slide plate 9 contacts the lower inner wall of the adjusting cavity 4. When the lumbar support 3 continues to move downward, the connecting slider 13 can extend the guide slide 12 to move. At this time, the lower end of the lumbar support 3 moves forward, which can adjust the tilt angle of the lumbar support 3. The device can be precisely adjusted according to the user's needs, and can adapt to users of different heights, body types and sitting postures, providing personalized lumbar support.

[0031] The snap-fit ​​mechanism 14 includes a connecting rod 17, the rear end of which extends into the connecting slot 10. The upper and lower inner walls of the connecting slot 10 are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves 16, and the longitudinal cross-section of the upper and lower snap-fit ​​grooves 16 is triangular. The connecting rod 17 is provided with a mounting hole 18, which is open at both the upper and lower ends and is located in the connecting slot 10. The rear inner wall of the mounting hole 18 is hinged with two snap-fit ​​plates 19, the front ends of which extend into the upper and lower snap-fit ​​grooves 16 respectively, and the snap-fit ​​plates 19 are adapted to the snap-fit ​​grooves 16.

[0032] A sliding groove 20 is provided on the inner front wall of the mounting hole 18. A sliding rod 21 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 20. A connecting rod 22 is hinged to the rear end of the upper and lower side walls of the sliding rod 21. The ends of the two connecting rods 22 away from the sliding rod 21 are respectively hinged to the adjacent side walls of the upper and lower snap-fit ​​plates 19. A support spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner front wall of the sliding groove 20. The rear end of the support spring 23 is fixedly connected to the front end of the sliding rod 21.

[0033] The support spring 23 is always in a compressed state, ensuring that when the lumbar support 3 is connected to the backrest 2, the snap plate 19 can always be located in the snap groove 16, thereby ensuring the lumbar support 3 is firm.

[0034] A movable slide 24 is provided on the side wall of the sliding groove 20. A lever 15 is installed in the movable slide 24. One end of the lever 15 near the sliding groove 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding rod 21, and the other end of the lever 15 away from the sliding groove 20 extends to the outside of the movable slide 24. When disassembly is required, the lever 15 is moved forward, which in turn moves the sliding rod 21 forward in the sliding groove 20 and compresses the support spring 23. The sliding rod 21 cooperates with the connecting rod 22 to move the upper and lower locking plates 19 into the through hole, thereby separating the lumbar support 3, the guide plate 11, and the locking mechanism 14 from the backrest 2. This ensures that the device can also meet the needs of users who do not require the lumbar support 3.

[0035] Working principle: In use, the lumbar support 3 provides support for the user's waist. When the height of the lumbar support 3 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting motor 6 drives the adjusting screw 7 to rotate. Then, through the cooperation of the adjusting screw 7 and the adjusting slide plate 8, the lumbar support 3 moves up and down. When the upper end of the connecting slider 13 on the rear side of the lumbar support 3 contacts the upper inner wall of the guide slide 12, the guide plate 11 and the auxiliary slide plate 9 can move upward together with the lumbar support 3. When the height of the lumbar support 3 is lowered, the lower end of the auxiliary slide plate 9 contacts the lower inner wall of the adjusting cavity 4. When the lumbar support 3 continues to move downward, the connecting slider 13 can extend the guide slide 12 to move. At this time, the lower end of the lumbar support 3 moves forward, which can adjust the tilt angle of the lumbar support 3. The device can be precisely adjusted according to the user's needs, and can adapt to users of different heights, body types and sitting postures, providing personalized lumbar support and effectively relieving lumbar fatigue and discomfort caused by long-term driving. In the device, the lumbar support 3 is connected to the adjustment mechanism via the engaging plate 19 in the engaging mechanism 14 and the engaging groove 16 in the connecting slot 10. When the user does not need the lumbar support 3, they can move the lever 15 forward, which in turn moves the sliding rod 21 forward in the sliding groove 20 and compresses the support spring 23. The sliding rod 21, in conjunction with the connecting rod 22, moves the upper and lower engaging plates 19 into the through hole, thus separating the lumbar support 3, the guide plate 11, and the engaging mechanism 14 from the backrest 2. This ensures that the device can still meet the needs of users who do not require the lumbar support 3.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
