[0025] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a foldable back office chair, including a seat plate 1; a hinge block 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the seat plate 1, and a backrest 2 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the hinge block 5; a connecting assembly is provided on the side wall of the seat plate 1; a bidirectional threaded rod 45 is rotatably connected to the middle of the seat plate 1; a sliding strip 410 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 45; the sliding strip 410 is slidably connected to the middle of the seat plate 1; a through groove 47 is provided at the bottom of the seat plate 1; a slider 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding strip 410; the outer wall of the slider 48 is slidably connected to the middle of the through groove 47; the slider 48... A connecting plate 41 is rotatably connected to the bottom side wall of the 8th seat plate 1. A fixing block 42 is rotatably connected to the bottom side wall of the connecting plate 41. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 42. The connecting assembly includes a connecting plate 3, which is rotatably connected to the side wall of the seat plate 1. A support plate 31 is rotatably connected to the top side wall of the connecting plate 3. A cylindrical tube 34 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the end of the support plate 31. An annular groove 23 is provided on the side wall of the backrest 2. The outer wall of the cylindrical tube 34 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 23. When the office chair needs to be transported during operation, the backrest 2 and the support frame 4 can be folded. To reduce its space occupation, the specific operation is as follows: simply release the limiting effect of the connecting component on the backrest 2, then push the support plate 31. One end of the support plate 31 will rotate with the connecting plate 3, causing the connecting plate 3 and the seat plate 1 to rotate. The other end of the support plate 31 will rotate with the backrest 2, causing the backrest 2 and the hinge block 5 to rotate. In this way, the angles of the connecting plate 3 and the backrest 2 will change until the backrest 2 and the seat plate 1 are folded together. At this time, the connecting plate 3 and the support plate 31 will also fold together. Then, the bidirectional threaded rod 45 can be rotated, and the threaded connection will be activated. The sliding bar 410 on its outer wall will drive the slider 48 to move. The slider 48 will rotate with the connecting plate 41, and the overall angle of the connecting plate 41 will change. Its bottom will also rotate with the fixing block 42 until the connecting plate 41 is in a horizontal state, thus completing the folding. In this way, the entire office chair will be folded and can be directly packed and transported. When the user uses it, simply release the limit of the connecting component, pull the backrest 2 to unfold it, and then rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 45 to unfold the entire office chair. This way, it can be used directly without the need for assembly, which improves its practicality.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the connecting assembly also includes a rectangular strip 36, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the end of the support plate 31. A gear 38 is fixedly connected to the end of the rectangular strip 36. A toothed groove 24 is provided on the side wall of the backrest 2, and the gear 38 is inserted into the middle of the toothed groove 24. A rectangular plate 32 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rectangular strip 36, and a handle 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular plate 32. During operation, when it is necessary to release the limiting component from limiting the backrest 2, simply pull the handle 33. The handle 33 will drive the rectangular plate 32 to move, the rectangular plate 32 will drive the rectangular strip 36 to move, and the rectangular strip 36 will drive the gear 38 to move until the gear 38 is completely disengaged from the middle of the toothed groove 24. At this time, the backrest 2 or the support plate 31 can be pushed to adjust the angle of the backrest 2. After adjustment, release the handle 33 to reset the rectangular plate 32, the rectangular strip 36, and the gear 38. A set of limiting components is provided on both sides of the backrest 2 to ensure the stability of limiting the backrest 2.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a Z-shaped plate 35 is fixedly connected to the end of the rectangular plate 32. A second sliding groove 22 is provided on the side wall of the backrest 2. A rectangular block 65 is slidably connected to the middle of the second sliding groove 22. A sliding plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rectangular block 65. A top plate 61 is slidably connected to the side wall of the backrest 2. The top plate 61 contacts the side wall of the Z-shaped plate 35. A sliding column 63 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the end of the top plate 61. A third through groove 62 is provided on the side wall of the sliding plate 6. The outer wall of the sliding column 63 is slidably connected to the middle of the third through groove 62. During operation, when the backrest is folded... When the backrest 2 is in place, the sliding plate 6 can also be pushed. At this time, the sliding column 63 will slide in the middle of the through groove 3 62 and drive the top plate 61 to move along the slope of the through groove 3 62 until the top plate 61 contacts the Z-shaped plate 35. Continue to push the sliding plate 6 so that the top plate 61 pushes the Z-shaped plate 35 to move. The Z-shaped plate 35 will drive the rectangular plate 32, the rectangular bar 36 and the gear 38 to move synchronously. In this way, the multiple sets of connecting components can be released from the limit of the backrest 2 at the same time, so that the seat plate 1 and the backrest 2 can be folded quickly and conveniently, improving convenience.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-5As shown, multiple sets of fixing blocks 42 are provided, and these sets of fixing blocks 42 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the support frame 4. Connecting plates 2 43 are rotatably connected to the side walls of the multiple sets of fixing blocks 42. A slider 1 44 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plates 2 43. A through groove 1 46 is formed on one side of the through groove 2 47 at the bottom of the base plate 1. The outer wall of the slider 1 44 is slidably connected to the middle of the through groove 1 46. A sliding strip 1 49 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 1 44, and the sliding strip 1 49 is slidably connected to the middle of the base plate 1. The middle part of the sliding bar 49 is threaded to the outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 45 and is located on one side of the sliding bar 410. During operation, the connecting plate 43 is connected to the side wall of multiple sets of fixed blocks 42, so that the connecting plate 43 and the connecting plate 41 are symmetrically and cross each other, ensuring the stability of the support for the seat plate 1. The movement mode of the slider 44, the sliding bar 49, and the connecting plate 43 is the same as that of the slider 48, the sliding bar 410, and the connecting plate 41, but the direction of movement is opposite, ensuring the stability of the support for the seat plate 1.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a spring 37 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rectangular bar 36. One end of the spring 37 is fixed to the side wall of the end of the support plate 31, and the other end of the spring 37 is fixed to the side wall of the gear 38. During operation, the spring 37 has a certain elasticity. When the rectangular bar 36 and the gear 38 are moved by the rectangular plate 32, the gear 38 will squeeze the spring 37. When the rectangular plate 32 is released, the spring 37 will push the gear 38 to reset through its own elasticity, so that the gear 38 can quickly insert into the middle of the toothed groove 24.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the backrest 2 has a slide groove 21 on one side of the slide groove 22, and a moving block 64 is fixed to the other side of the top plate 61. The moving block 64 is slidably connected to the middle of the slide groove 21. During operation, the cooperation between the slide groove 21 and the moving block 64 ensures that the top plate 61 can move in a straight line stably, which improves its practicality.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the through groove 62 is inclined. During operation, by setting the through groove 62 to an inclined state, when the sliding plate 6 is moved, the sliding column 63 can smoothly drive the top plate 61 to move according to its inclination.

[0033] Working principle: When transporting the office chair, the backrest 2 and support frame 4 can be folded up to reduce its space occupation. The specific operation is as follows: Simply pull the handle 33. The handle 33 will move the rectangular plate 32, which in turn will move the rectangular bar 36. The rectangular bar 36 will then move the gear 38 until the gear 38 is completely disengaged from the center of the toothed groove 24. Then, push the support plate 31. One end of the support plate 31 will rotate with the connecting plate 3, causing the connecting plate 3 and the seat plate 1 to rotate. The other end of the support plate 31 will rotate with the backrest 2, causing the backrest 2 and the hinge block 5 to rotate. This changes the angle between the connecting plate 3 and the backrest 2 until the backrest 2 and the seat plate 1 are folded together. At this point, the connecting plate 3 and the support plate 31 will also fold. Then, the bidirectional threaded rod 45 can be rotated. At this time, the sliding strip 410 threaded to its outer wall will drive the slider 48 to move. The slider 48 will rotate with the connecting plate 41, and the overall angle of the connecting plate 41 will change. Its bottom will also rotate with the fixing block 42 until the connecting plate 41 is in a horizontal state, and the folding is completed. In this way, the entire office chair will fold and can be directly packed and transported. When the user uses it, simply release the limit of the connecting component, pull the backrest 2 to unfold it, and then rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 45 to unfold the entire office chair. In this way, it can be used directly without the need for assembly, which improves practicality.

[0034] When folding the backrest 2, the sliding plate 6 can also be pushed. At this time, the sliding column 63 will slide in the middle of the through groove 3 62 and drive the top plate 61 to move along the slope of the through groove 3 62 until the top plate 61 contacts the Z-shaped plate 35. Continue to push the sliding plate 6 so that the top plate 61 pushes the Z-shaped plate 35 to move. The Z-shaped plate 35 will drive the rectangular plate 32, the rectangular bar 36 and the gear 38 to move synchronously. In this way, the multiple sets of connecting components can be released from the restriction of the backrest 2 at the same time, so that the seat plate 1 and the backrest 2 can be folded quickly and conveniently, improving convenience.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
