[0044] Reference Figures 1-6 The basic embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a lumbar support connection structure, including:
[0045] The backrest 100 and the lumbar support 200 are provided with a slot 110 on one side and a plug 210 on the other side. The plug 210 can be inserted into the slot 110 and the lumbar support 200 is installed on the backrest 100.
[0046] The armrest 400, backrest 100 and armrest 400, one of which is provided with a plug 410, and the other of which is provided with a groove 510, the plug 410 and the groove 510 can be fitted together;
[0047] The locking element 500 can be inserted into the armrest 400 and the backrest 100 to fix the armrest 400 and the backrest 100 relatively.
[0048] According to embodiments of this utility model, the following effects can be achieved through this configuration: Quick and secure installation of the lumbar support 200 and backrest 100: Utilizing the precise fit between the slot 110 and the plug 210, tool-free, one-click quick installation and reliable fixation between the lumbar support 200 and backrest 100 are achieved. This design greatly simplifies user operation, avoids the cumbersome nature of traditional connection methods, and significantly improves assembly efficiency and convenience. Quick and reliable connection of the armrest 400 and backrest 100: Through the guiding and interlocking action of the plug 410 and the groove 510, the armrest 400 and backrest 100 are accurately positioned and instantly connected. This connection method is not only intuitive and simple to operate, but also provides a solid foundation for subsequent locking steps, effectively preventing accidental displacement or loosening of components before locking. Secure locking of the armrest 400 and backrest 100: The insertion design of the locking component 500 is a key guarantee for the stability of the connection. It runs through the armrest 400 and the backrest 100, applying rigid constraints and completely eliminating the potential small gaps at the fit between the insert 410 and the groove 510. This ensures a high-strength, wobbly rigid connection between the armrest 400 and the backrest 100, thereby significantly improving the overall structural load-bearing capacity and long-term stability.
[0049] In some embodiments, the armrest 400 includes a bracket 411 and a support portion 412. A groove 510 or a plug 410 is provided on the bracket 411. The bracket 411 is connected to the backrest 100, and the support portion 412 is provided on the bracket. The armrest 400 can be disassembled into multiple structures, which is beneficial for transportation.
[0050] Furthermore, the support 411 is spiral-shaped. When the backrest 100 is subjected to external force, the support 411 will be subjected to the pressure of the backrest. The spiral structure can disperse the concentrated external force along the entire spiral line, thereby reducing the pressure per unit area and improving the load-bearing capacity of the structure.
[0051] In some embodiments, the armrest 400 and the lumbar support 200 are separate components, with the connection between the armrest 400 and the backrest 100 being higher than the connection between the backrest 100 and the lumbar support 200. When the backrest 100 tilts backward, the force on the backrest 100 is first transmitted to the armrest 400, and then to the lumbar support 200. Because the connection between the armrest 400 and the backrest 100 is higher than the connection between the backrest 100 and the lumbar support 200, the force on the lumbar support 200 is reduced, preventing the lumbar support 200 from easily deforming and affecting the use of the lifting function.
[0052] In some embodiments, the backrest 100 or the lumbar support 200 is provided with a plurality of slots 120, the plug 210 can slide along the slot 110, the plug 210 is provided with a buckle 220, the plurality of slots 120 are arranged sequentially along the sliding direction and located on the same side of the sliding direction, and the buckle 220 can engage the slots 120 to fix the lumbar support 200 and the backrest 100 relatively.
[0053] It also includes a limiting rod 300, a backrest 100 or a lumbar support 200, one of which is provided with a limiting groove 320, and the other of which can be inserted into the limiting rod 300, and the limiting rod 300 can pass through the limiting groove 320, so that the limiting rod 300 can slide relative to the limiting groove 320.
[0054] With this setup, installation and height adjustment are convenient: the lumbar support 200 can be easily installed on the backrest 100 through the sliding engagement of the plug 210 and the slot 110. Multiple slots 120 on the lumbar support 200 insert 210 along the sliding direction cooperate with the buckles 220 on the backrest 100, allowing users to quickly and accurately fix the lumbar support 200 at multiple preset height positions according to their individual body shape or comfort needs. Adjustment flexibility and personalized adaptation: The multi-position slot 120 design provides a wide and flexible height adjustment range, effectively meeting the personalized lumbar support needs of users of different heights, significantly improving the adaptability and comfort of the seat. Simple operation and reliable locking: The snap-fit method between the buckle 220 and the slot 120 is extremely simple to operate, while providing a stable and reliable mechanical lock. The entire connection structure mainly consists of the insert 210, slot 110, slot 120, and buckle 220. The structure is simple and clear, easy to manufacture and assemble, which helps control production costs and improve product reliability. The limiting rod 300 guides the sliding between the lumbar support 200 and the backrest 100, while also limiting the sliding length of the lumbar support 200 and preventing it from falling off.
[0055] In some embodiments, a first embodiment of the latch 220 is described with reference to the appendix. Figure 2 The buckle 220 includes a fixing part 221, a deformable part 222, and a locking part 223 arranged sequentially. The fixing part 221 is fixedly disposed on the waist support 200. The deformable part 222 can deform under the action of external force and has the ability to recover from deformation. The locking part 223 can lock into the slot 120. The fixing part 221 is fixedly disposed on the waist support 200. The buckle 220 can deform relatively under the action of external force. The locking part 223 can lock into the slot 120. When the locking part 223 passes the outside of the slot 120, it can deform and recover from deformation, and can be reinserted into the slot 120, so that the locking part 223 and the slot 120 are locked together. It should be noted that the buckle 220 is an elastic element, and can also be a plastic part, fiberglass or other metal part, which has a slight elastic deformation ability.
[0056] In some embodiments, a second embodiment of the latch 220 includes a latching member and an elastic member. The elastic member is driven by an elastic force to engage the latching member with the slot 120, allowing the latching member to engage with different slots 120. The elastic member can be a spring, torsion spring, sheet metal, or other elastic material.
[0057] In some embodiments, the backrest 100 or the lumbar support 200 is provided with a first sliding groove 130, the first sliding groove 130 is arranged around a plurality of slots 120, the slots 120 are all located on the same side of the first sliding groove 130, and the plurality of slots 120 open obliquely upward.
[0058] The snap-fit part 223 abuts against the first sliding groove 130, so that the buckle 220 can deform and the snap-fit part 223 can slide along the first sliding groove 130. The buckle 220 can drive the snap-fit part 223 to move towards the slot 120 through its own deformation recovery ability, so that the snap-fit part 223 and the slot 120 can be snap-fitted and fixed.
[0059] In this configuration, the backrest 100 and lumbar support 200 can slide relative to each other, and the buckle 220 can engage with different slots 120, fixing the backrest 100 at different heights to accommodate different user habits. Through the mutual sliding of the backrest 100 and lumbar support 200 insert 210, the buckle 220 can engage with different slots 120, placing the backrest 100 at different heights. Guided by the first sliding groove 130, the buckle 220 moves accordingly, and the engaging part 223 can slide along the first sliding groove 130. During the movement of the engaging part 223, due to the elastic effect of deformation recovery, the engaging part 223 rotates towards the slot 120, causing the buckle 220 to engage with the slot 120. Continuing to apply external force can disengage the engaging part 223 from the slot 120, allowing the buckle 220 to engage with the slots 120 sequentially, adjusting the height according to user needs.
[0060] In some embodiments, the buckle 220 further includes a fixing member 224, which is disposed on the insert 210. The fixing member 224 and the insert 210 cooperate to limit the fixing part 221, so that the fixing part 221 is fixed on the insert 210. The buckle 220 can be fixed on the insert 210 by means of the fixing member 224.
[0061] In some embodiments, the limiting rod 300 is provided with a knob 310, which is used to drive the limiting rod 300 into the lumbar support 200 or the backrest 100. The knob 310 facilitates the insertion of the limiting rod 300 into the structure.
[0062] In some embodiments, the snap fasteners 220 have at least two rows, and the multiple slots 120 have at least two rows. The snap fasteners 220 can engage with a corresponding row of slots 120. The multiple rows of snap fasteners 220 and slots 120 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plug-in 210. Increasing the connection of multiple rows of snap fasteners 220 and slots 120 improves installation stability; through symmetrical arrangement, the symmetrical snap fasteners 220 on both sides can form opposite forces, making the installation of snap fasteners 220 and slots 120 more stable.
[0063] In some embodiments, the end of the plug 210 is provided with an arc-shaped plug 230, which can be inserted into the slot 110. This facilitates the installation of the plug 210 and the slot 110.
[0064] In some embodiments, a portion of the structure of the lumbar support 200 or the backrest 100 protrudes from the body of the lumbar support 200 or the backrest 100 to form an insert 210, and a gap is provided between the insert 210 and the body of the lumbar support 200. A cushioning effect is formed between the lumbar support 200 and the backrest 100, improving comfort and facilitating the installation and use of the lumbar support 200 and the backrest 100.
