[0028] The above-mentioned and other technical features and advantages of this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This embodiment provides a technical solution: an adjustable headrest for an office chair, such as... Figure 1-10 As shown, the device includes a headrest frame 1, a headrest mounting buckle 2, and three different floating adjustment components 3. The headrest frame 1 is used to support the shape of the outer layer of the headrest, the headrest mounting buckle 2 is used to install the headrest frame 1 on the chair, and the floating adjustment components 3 are set between the headrest frame 1 and the headrest mounting buckle 2. The floating adjustment components 3 are used to adjust the height and angle of the headrest frame 1 within a certain range.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] The floating adjustment assembly 3 includes two aluminum alloy rods 31 fixed to the inside of the headrest frame 1 and a positioning buckle plate 32 fixed above the headrest mounting buckle 2. A lifting column 33 slides between the two aluminum alloy rods 31. The lifting column 33 is installed on the two aluminum alloy rods 31 by two screws. The lifting column 33 has two adjustment grooves 34 inside. Each of the two adjustment grooves 34 is provided with a plastic damping block 35, a pressure spring 36 and a pressure adjustment screw 37. Both ends of the lifting column 33 are provided with mounting holes 38. The inside of the positioning buckle plate 32 is provided with two inner grooves 39. Two connecting strips 310 are fixed to the outside of the lifting column 33. The two connecting strips 310 are respectively locked inside the two inner grooves 39. Both ends of the positioning buckle plate 32 are provided with pivot screws 311. A floating spring 312 is provided between the lifting column 33 and the positioning buckle plate 32.

[0032] The pressure on the pressure spring 36 and the plastic damping block 35 can be changed by adjusting the pressure screw 37, thereby changing the fastening force between the lifting column 33 and the aluminum alloy rod 31, so that the aluminum alloy rod 31 on the headrest frame 1 can slide up and down along the lifting column 33, changing the height of the headrest frame 1. Then, the plastic damping block 35 is pressed tightly by adjusting the pressure screw 37, thereby firmly fixing the aluminum alloy rod 31 and the lifting column 33, thus completing the headrest height adjustment.

[0033] The tightness between the lifting column 33 and the positioning buckle plate 32 can be adjusted by rotating the shaft screw 311. This allows the lifting column 33 to drive the aluminum alloy rod 31 and the headrest frame 1 to rotate. The rotation angle of the headrest frame 1 can be limited by the inner groove 39 and the floating spring 312. After the angle is rotated to a suitable position, the rotating shaft screw 311 can be tightened to fix the headrest frame 1. The angle fluctuation range is within 15 degrees up and down.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] The floating adjustment component 3 includes a connector 301 fixed to the headrest frame 1 and a connecting plate 302 fixed to the headrest mounting buckle 2. A plurality of equally spaced stop bars 303 are provided on one side of the connecting plate 302. A sliding sleeve 304 is fitted over the outside of the connecting plate 302. An elastic limiting cover 305 is provided on the inner side of the sliding sleeve 304. An elastic limiting head is provided on the elastic limiting cover 305. The elastic limiting head and the stop bars 303 interlock to restrict the position of the sliding sleeve 304 and the connecting plate 302. The sliding sleeve 304 and the connector 301 are connected by a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is used to adjust the usage angle of the headrest frame 1 within a certain range. The rotating shaft includes a plastic rotating shaft 306 fixed to one end of the sliding sleeve 304, a limiting screw 307 positioned between the sliding sleeve 304 and the connector 301, and two rubber springs 308 positioned between the sliding sleeve 304 and the connector 301. The connector 301 rotates on the plastic rotating shaft 306.

[0036] Pulling the sliding sleeve 304 upwards, the elastic limiting head on the elastic limiting cover 305 will move with it as the sliding sleeve 304 and the connecting plate 302 slide relative to each other. After the height of the headrest frame 1 is adjusted to a suitable position, the elastic limiting head and two adjacent stop bars 303 lock together to limit the relative position of the sliding sleeve 304 and the connecting plate 302, thereby changing the height of the headrest. The lifting range is within 35mm. The angle of the headrest frame 1 can be changed by rotating the connecting head 301 on the plastic rotating shaft 306, and the connecting head 301 can be fixed by the limiting screw 307. The angle of the headrest can be lowered by up to 15 degrees.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] The floating adjustment component 3 includes a fixing strip 3001 fixed to the headrest mounting buckle 2 and a mounting head 3002 fixed to the headrest frame 1. The fixing strip 3001 is fitted with a mounting sleeve 3003. The mounting sleeve 3003 is provided with a cover 3004 on the inner side. The cover 3004 is provided with a clamping screw 3005 and a plastic friction block 3006 on the inner side. The mounting sleeve 3003 and the mounting head 3002 are connected by an adjusting shaft component. The adjusting shaft component and the rotating shaft component in Embodiment 2 have the same structure and usage.

[0039] Loosen the clamping screw 3005 to reduce the pressure applied to the plastic friction block 3006, thereby reducing the tightness between the mounting sleeve 3003 and the fixing strip 3001. This allows the mounting sleeve 3003 and the fixing strip 3001 to slide relative to each other, thereby changing the height of the headrest frame 1 through the adjusting shaft component. The adjustment range between the mounting sleeve 3003 and the fixing strip 3001 is within 50mm. After adjustment, tighten the clamping screw 3005 to increase its pressure on the plastic friction block 3006. The plastic friction block 3006 increases the friction between the mounting sleeve 3003 and the fixing strip 3001, thus preventing them from sliding relative to each other. The method for adjusting the angle of the headrest frame 1 is the same as in Embodiment 2.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalents can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the present utility model, all of which will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
