Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] Example: This utility model provides an adjustable backrest for a retro motorcycle, see below. Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a frame 1, a mounting base 2, a backrest 8, adjusting components, and locking components. The seat cushion a is mounted on the frame 1. A detachable mounting base 2 is mounted on the rear of the frame 1, facilitating the installation of this device on various types of retro motorcycles, making it highly practical. The backrest 8 is mounted on the mounting base 2 via adjusting components. Adjusting the height of the backrest 8 is quick and easy by moving the adjusting components. The side of the backrest 8 closest to the seat cushion a has an arc-shaped design to fit the lumbar region, improving passenger comfort. The adjusting components include a fixing sleeve 3, a connecting shaft 4, an adjusting plate 5, a slide rail 6, a fixing plate 7, and a locking pin 9. The mounting base 2 has a pair of fixing sleeves 3, with a connecting shaft 4 passing between them. An adjusting plate 5, capable of rotating to adjust the angle, is fitted in the middle of the connecting shaft 4. By adjusting the tilt angle of the rotating adjustment plate 5, the angle of the backrest 8 can be quickly adjusted accordingly. The upper part of the adjustment plate 5 is fitted with a slide rail 6 that can slide up and down to adjust the height. The dovetail groove on the slide rail 6 can limit the adjustment plate 5 and prevent it from falling off. A fixing plate 7 is connected to the back of the slide rail 6, and the backrest 8 is installed on the fixing plate 7. A locking pin 9 is threaded through the adjustment plate 5 and can abut against the slide rail 6. By tightening the locking pin 9 so that its inner end abuts against the slide rail 6, it can limit the slide rail 6, the fixing plate 7 and the backrest 8. There are two locking pins 9, and the two locking pins 9 are designed to be distributed vertically, which is conducive to quick locking and fixing when the height of the backrest 8 is adjusted upward or downward. A locking component is provided between the fixing sleeve 3 and the connecting shaft 4. The locking component can quickly lock and limit the adjustment plate 5.

[0021] Further, see Figures 2-5As shown, the locking component includes a locking seat 10, a positioning chuck 11, a movable chuck 12, and an elastic element 13. A set of locking seats 10 is connected to the lower part of the adjusting plate 5. The set of locking seats 10 are movably sleeved on the connecting shaft 4. The positioning chuck 11 is sleeved on one end of the connecting shaft 4 and can engage with the locking seat 10 on one side. The movable chuck 12 is movably sleeved on the other end of the connecting shaft 4 and can engage with the locking seat 10 on the other side. An elastic element 13 is connected between the movable chuck 12 and the fixed sleeve 3 on one side. The elastic element 13 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 4 and is a compression spring used to provide clamping force to the movable chuck 12.

[0022] Further, see Figures 2-5 As shown, it also includes a limit bolt 14. The limit bolt 14 is threaded through the fixed sleeve 3 near the elastic element 13, and the limit bolt 14 can abut against the movable chuck 12, which helps to enhance the stability of the engagement between the movable chuck 12 and the chuck seat 10.

[0023] In addition, see Figures 2-5 As shown, it also includes a protective sleeve 15. One end of the connecting shaft 4 is fitted with a protective sleeve 15, and the protective sleeve 15 is located between the positioning chuck 11 and the fixing sleeve 3. The protective sleeve 15 is made of rubber and can play a certain decorative role to enhance the overall integration of the device.

[0024] When adjusting the height of the backrest 8, loosen the upper and lower locking pins 9 to disengage them from the slide rail 6. Then, push the backrest 8 up or down to easily adjust the height. Afterward, tighten the locking pins 9 to reset them so that their inner ends abut against the slide rail 6, thus securing the slide rail 6, fixing plate 7, and backrest 8. When adjusting the tilt angle of the backrest 8, first loosen the limit bolt 14 to disengage it from the movable chuck 12. Then, slide the movable chuck 12 outward to separate it from the corresponding seat 10. Slightly pull the backrest 8 towards one side of the movable chuck 12 to separate the seat 10 on the other side from the positioning chuck 11. Then push... The backrest 8 can be rotated and swung around the connecting shaft 4, allowing for convenient adjustment of its tilt angle. After the backrest 8 is adjusted, the movable chuck 12 is released, and the elastic force of the elastic element 13 pushes the movable chuck 12 back to its original position, so that the movable chuck 12 can abut and engage with the corresponding chuck seat 10. Then, the limit bolt 14 is reset, so that the limit bolt 14 abuts against the movable chuck 12. In this way, through the engagement of the chuck seat 10 with the positioning chuck 11 and the movable chuck 12, the adjusting plate 5 can be locked and limited. This device is not only simple and compact in structure, but also has a high degree of integration with the seat a and the frame 1, which helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the retro motorcycle.

[0025] It should be understood that the above description is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that variations of the present invention will be included within the scope of the claims herein.
