Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, specifically to an adaptive office chair. Background Technology
[0002] As a common type of home or office furniture, office chairs are increasingly valued by consumers for their comfort and ergonomic design. Traditional office chairs, especially those with a reclining function, typically have a fixed connection between the seat and backrest, or only a simple linkage. When a user reclines, their center of gravity shifts backward, and their buttocks and thighs tend to slide forward on the seat surface. The fixed seat cannot adapt to this natural posture change, resulting in pressure on the front of the thighs from the front edge of the seat, and the lower back may be unsupported due to a lack of effective support. This design flaw makes users prone to numbness in the legs and lower back pain when leaning against the seat for extended periods, preventing them from achieving a truly relaxed and comfortable state.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This is a structural diagram of the adaptive office chair and its specific components according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the adaptive office chair of the present invention includes a seat 1, a leg support 2, and a backrest support 3. The seat 1 includes a seat cushion 11 and a backrest 12. The backrest support 3 includes a seat cushion support part 31 and a backrest connecting part 32. The adaptive office chair also includes: a slide rail mechanism 4, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the seat cushion 11 so that the seat cushion 11 can slide in the front-back direction; and a linkage tilting mechanism 5, which is set on the back of the backrest 12 so that the backrest 12 can rotate relatively backward. When the user leans back, the seat cushion 11 slides forward on the slide rail mechanism 4 to conform to the user's dynamic sitting posture.
[0027] This adaptive office chair uses a sliding rail mechanism at the bottom of the seat and a linked tilting mechanism on the backrest to allow the seat to automatically and smoothly move forward when the user leans back, so as to adapt to the curves of the human body, distribute pressure, and make the human body more comfortable when leaning back, just like the most comfortable state when a person stretches.
[0028] In one possible implementation, the seat 1 can be an integrated seat and backrest. For convenience in hanging items on the backrest, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference needed]. Figure 5 As shown, a hook 7 can also be installed on the back of the backrest 12. The hook 7 can be installed in a hinged manner, for example, it can be installed on the back of the backrest using an interference fit with a pin.
[0029] The linkage tilting mechanism in this invention only needs to be able to drive the backrest to rotate relative to the human body curve when the user leans back. Specifically, to more clearly explain the structure of this invention, a specific linkage tilting mechanism is provided, including an inner back panel 51 rotatably connected to the back of the backrest 12, and the backrest connecting part 32 of the chair back support 3 is fixedly connected to the inner back panel 51. Specifically, it can be connected by fastening screws 8.
[0030] In one possible implementation, the backrest 12 is connected to the inner back panel 51 via a pin 52, allowing the backrest 12 to rotate relative to the inner back panel 51.
[0031] In one possible implementation, one end of the pin 52 is press-fitted to prevent the pin 52 from shifting.
[0032] In one possible implementation, the slide rail mechanism 4 includes at least two relatively parallel slide rails 41, and the bottom of the cushion 11 engages with the slide rails 41 via a sliding member 42. Specifically, the sliding member is disposed within the slide rail and can slide relative to the slide rail, and the bottom of the cushion 11 is fixed to the sliding member by a fastening screw 8.
[0033] To facilitate the installation of the slide rail, a slide rail groove 311 is provided on the seat support part 31 for installing the slide rail 41, so as to limit the slide rail 41 within the slide rail groove 311.
[0034] In one possible implementation, the slide rail mechanism 4 further includes a reset elastic element 43, which acts on the sliding component 42 to provide a backward reset elastic force for the seat cushion 11.
[0035] In one possible implementation, the reset elastic element 43 is a spring, which is disposed inside the slide rail 41, with one end abutting against the inner wall of the slide rail 41 and the other end abutting against the sliding member 42. To prevent the spring from disengaging, a protrusion is provided at the end of the sliding member 42 that abuts against the spring, and the protrusion is inserted into the spring.
[0036] In one possible implementation, at least one bearing 6 is also provided at the bottom of the seat cushion 11 to assist the seat cushion 11 in sliding. The cooperation between the bearing and the sliding component makes the sliding process of the seat cushion smoother.
[0037] In one possible implementation, four bearings 6 are provided at the bottom of the seat cushion 11, respectively located on both sides of the slide rail 41.
[0038] In addition, the office chair is equipped with armrests 9 for easy hand support.
