Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seat structure, and in particular to a seat structure that integrates special needs student seats in schools. Background Technology

[0002] Inclusive schools provide a learning environment for children with special needs to learn alongside typically developing children. Taking children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as an example, sensory impairments are very common in ASD individuals. These impairments can lead to abnormal responses to environmental stimuli, resulting in a range of problem behaviors. Problem behaviors are atypical responses of autistic students to environmental challenges and are usually closely related to their sensory processing methods.

[0003] For example, proprioceptive dysfunction can cause behavioral problems in autistic students. Proprioceptive dysfunction makes it difficult for them to perceive their own body position and movement, leading to unstable posture, falls, or collisions. Furthermore, they may experience difficulties with fine motor skills or coordination. To satisfy proprioceptive input, students may exhibit hyperactive behaviors such as constantly moving around, jumping, rocking back and forth, or bumping into desks and chairs. They may also seek sensory input through self-stimulatory behaviors such as shaking their bodies or forcefully slapping the table. These problematic behaviors not only affect the pace of teaching in the classroom but also impact other students. Utility Model Content

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] A special student seating structure for schools includes chair legs 1, a seat surface 2, a backrest 3, and a base 5. The seat surface 2 is connected to the backrest 3 and chair legs 1 on its upper and lower sides, respectively. The seat surface 2 is inclined towards the backrest 3, and the virtual plane extending from the side of the seat surface 2 facing the backrest 3 forms an acute angle with the ground. The second angle between the side of the chair legs 1 near the backrest 3 and the ground is complementary to the first angle. The chair legs 1 are adjustable along their length. In this embodiment, the first angle is preferably 13 degrees. In this embodiment, the seat surface 2 is made of a soft and breathable material to reduce pressure and discomfort on the skin.

[0046] The chair legs 1 include two front chair legs 1 and two rear chair legs 1, both of which extend towards the upper side of the seat surface 2. One end of each front chair leg 1 connects to an adjacent rear chair leg 1 to form a handle 4, with rounded corners. The two rear chair legs 1 connect above the seat surface 2 to form a backrest 3. The handle 4 and backrest 3 are integrally formed with the chair legs 1, providing excellent structural stability.

[0047] The base 5 is I-shaped, having two vertical seats and a horizontal seat connected to the vertical seats. The front and rear chair legs 1 are respectively connected and fixed to the ends of the two vertical seats. A supporting rib is connected between the rear chair leg 1 and the side of the rear chair leg 1 closest to the backrest 3. According to design requirements, a counterweight can be installed inside the base 5 to further improve structural stability. In this embodiment, silent foot pads are provided at the ends of both vertical seats.

[0048] Both the front and rear chair legs 1 include a fixed sleeve 11 and a movable sleeve 12. The movable sleeve 12 is fitted inside the fixed sleeve 11 and is connected to the seat surface 2. The movable sleeve 12 has multiple adjustment holes along its length, and the fixed sleeve 11 has fixed holes corresponding to the adjustment holes.
