In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise precisely specified.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a connection through an intermediary, or a connection within two elements or an interaction between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, a lumbar support assembly of this utility model includes a lumbar support 10, a bracket 20, a movable seat 30, a swing seat 40, and a connecting seat 50. The lumbar support 10 is fixed on the movable seat 30, and the movable seat 30 is slidably mounted on the swing seat 40, so that the movable seat 30 can move in the vertical direction relative to the swing seat 40, thereby allowing the lumbar support 10 to move in the vertical direction with the movable seat 30. A first elastic element is provided between the swing seat 40 and the movable seat 30, which is used to apply an upward elastic stress to the movable seat 30.

[0030] The connecting seat 50 is mounted on the bracket 20, which can be the main support component of the seat back. The swing seat 40 includes a rotating end 401 and a free end 402 opposite to the rotating end 401. The rotating end 401 is located at the bottom of the swing seat 40, and the free end 402 is located at the top of the swing seat 40. The rotating end 401 is pivotally connected to the connecting seat 50, so that the swing seat 40 can swing back and forth relative to the connecting seat 50. A second elastic element is provided between the free end 402 of the swing seat 40 and the connecting seat 50. The second elastic element is used to apply a forward elastic stress to the swing seat 40.

[0031] When the lumbar support assembly of this utility model is in use, the user's waist comes into contact with the lumbar support 10 and applies downward and backward pressure to the lumbar support 10. When the lumbar support 10 is pressed down by the user's waist, the movable seat 30 moves downward relative to the swing seat 40. As the deformation of the first elastic element increases, the upward elastic stress applied by the first elastic element to the movable seat 30 increases. Eventually, the elastic stress of the first elastic element and the downward pressure from the user's waist on the lumbar support 10 tend to balance. When the lumbar support 10 is pressed backward by the user's waist, the swing seat 40 swings backward, causing the deformation of the second elastic element to increase. The forward elastic stress applied by the second elastic element to the swing seat 40 increases. Eventually, the elastic stress of the second elastic element and the backward pressure from the user's waist on the lumbar support 10 tend to balance.

[0032] In this way, the lumbar support 10 can adapt to the user's waist position and fit the user's waist better in the vertical and horizontal directions and provide better support for the user's waist. When the user is in different sitting positions or different body types, the lumbar support 10 can adapt to move to the optimal support position, which increases the applicability of the seat and improves the comfort of the seat.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating shaft 41 is provided at the rotating end 401 of the swing seat 40. The rotating shaft 41 extends laterally and passes through the connecting seat 50, thereby pivotally connecting the rotating end 401 of the swing seat 40 to the connecting seat 50. A first limiting plate 42 and a second limiting plate 43 are provided at the free end 402 of the swing seat 40. The first limiting plate 42 is located in front of the second limiting plate 43, and the two are offset by a certain distance in the front-back direction. A baffle 51 is provided on the connecting seat 50. The baffle 51 is located at... Between the first limiting plate 42 and the second limiting plate 43, the second elastic element is placed between the baffle 51 and the first limiting plate 42. When the swing seat 40 swings backward, the first limiting plate 42 swings backward and together with the baffle 51 presses the second elastic element. When the seat is not in use, the elastic stress of the second elastic element causes the second limiting plate 43 to abut against the rear side of the baffle 51. The distance between the first limiting plate 42 and the second limiting plate 43 can change the amplitude of the swing seat 40 swinging back and forth.

[0034] In other embodiments, two staggered limiting structures can be provided on the connecting seat 50, and the free end 402 of the swing seat 40 can be placed between the two limiting structures of the connecting seat 50.

[0035] The second elastic element is a spring 70 sandwiched between the baffle 51 and the first limiting plate 42. The baffle 51 is provided with a mounting seat 52 that extends forward and passes through the spring 70. The mounting seat 52 is used to limit the spring 70 and prevent the spring 70 from disengaging from the connecting seat 50. In other embodiments, the second elastic element can be an elastic rubber block, spring sheet, etc.

[0036] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the rotating end 401 of the swing seat 40 may also be located at the top of the swing seat 40, and the free end 402 may be located at the bottom of the swing seat 40, which can also realize the back-and-forth swing of the swing seat 40 relative to the connecting seat 50.

[0037] The movable seat 30 is provided with a vertically extending groove 32, and the swing seat 40 is provided with a sliding protrusion 44 embedded in the groove 32. The first elastic element is a tension spring 60, with the upper end of the tension spring 60 connected to the protrusion 44 and the lower end connected to the bottom of the movable seat 30.

[0038] For ease of assembly, a groove 45 extending to the bottom of the protrusion 44 is provided on the protrusion 44. An upper connecting post 46 is provided at the top of the groove 45, and a lower connecting post 34 is provided at the bottom of the movable seat 30. The tension spring 60 is placed in the groove 45, with the upper end of the tension spring 60 hooked on the upper connecting post 46 and the lower end hooked on the lower connecting post 34.

[0039] The portions of the movable seat 30 located on both sides of the slide groove 32 form guide rails 33 respectively. A cover plate 31 is fixedly connected to the protrusion 44 of the swing seat 40. The two sides of the protrusion 44, the cover plate 31, and the swing seat 40 respectively form a guide groove. The two guide rails 33 on both sides of the slide groove 32 are slidably embedded in the two guide grooves. During assembly, the swing seat 40 and the cover plate 31 are placed on both sides of the movable seat 30, the protrusion 44 is embedded in the slide groove 32, and then the cover plate 31 and the protrusion 44 are fixed together with screws. In this way, the movable seat 30 is slidably mounted on the swing seat 40, so that the two only have the freedom of vertical movement and prevent them from separating laterally.

[0040] The lumbar support assembly of this utility model includes two connecting seats 50, two swing seats 40, and two movable seats 30. The lumbar support 10 includes two vertical beams 11 located on both sides of the beams. A connecting frame 21 is installed on the bracket 20. The connecting frame 21 is inverted V-shaped. The top of the connecting frame 21 is connected to the bracket 20. The two connecting seats 50 are respectively connected to the bottom sides of the connecting frame 21. The two movable seats 30 are respectively fixed to the two vertical beams 11 of the lumbar support 10. Thus, on both sides of the lumbar support 10, a set of movable seats 30, swing seats 40, and connecting seats 50 respectively form a mechanism that enables the lumbar support 10 to swing back and forth and move up and down, thereby making the lumbar support 10 more stable.

[0041] A connecting plate 12 is provided on the inner side of the vertical beam 11. The movable seat 30 is placed on the front side of the connecting plate 12 and is fixed to the connecting plate 12 by bolt connection or other detachable connection. During assembly, the swing seat 40, the movable seat 30 and the connecting seat 50 can be connected into a component and then the component can be fixed to the connecting plate 12.

[0042] The lumbar support 10 also includes a bottom crossbeam 13 connected between the bottoms of the two vertical beams 11. A massage mechanism is provided between the connecting frame 21 and the bottom crossbeam 13, and the massage mechanism is installed on the lumbar support 10.

[0043] The seat of this utility model includes the lumbar support component described above. The other structures of the seat are the same as those in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only optional embodiments of this utility model and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
