Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seat technology, and in particular to a lumbar support angle adjustment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] For chairs, especially office chairs and other chairs that require sitting for long periods of time, the design of the lumbar support is crucial for the user's comfort and spinal health. An ergonomic, adjustable lumbar support can effectively support the user's lumbar spine, relieve lower back fatigue, and prevent lumbar muscle strain.

[0003] Most existing lumbar supports are designed with a fixed structure. For example, a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN223529161U discloses a chair back assembly that is easy to install, including a back support assembly and a back support component. The back support assembly includes a main support member and a connector. The main support member includes two upwardly extending and spaced-apart arms, forming an upwardly open receiving space between the two arms. The back support component has a connecting part with two spaced-apart mounting holes. The two arms are respectively inserted into the two mounting holes and protrude upward from the connecting part. The receiving part is formed between the two mounting holes and is located in the receiving space. The connector is located above the connecting part, and its two ends are connected to the two arms respectively, closing the receiving space. In this design, the lumbar support is fixed and cannot be adjusted for people of different heights and body types, which may cause discomfort for some users.

[0004] In addition, some chairs offer adjustable lumbar support angles. A Chinese utility model patent (CN223585545U) discloses an office chair lumbar support that automatically conforms to the backrest. It includes a connecting seat, a pressure relief rod located below the connecting seat, and an angle adjustment rod also located below the connecting seat. The outer side of the pressure relief rod is connected to a gas spring, the bottom end of which is threaded to the center of the top of a base roller. Two sets of adjustable back pads are provided below the surface of the reinforcing frame, with the back of the adjustable back pads connected to the reinforcing frame via an elastic inner lining. A headrest is provided at the top of the fixed seat. This automatically conforming office chair lumbar support features an elastic latch, one end of which is hinged to one side of the reinforcing frame, and the other end fixed to the back of the adjustable back pad. This alleviates lumbar fatigue for office chair users. The angle adjustment rod allows adjustment of the reinforcing frame angle, accommodating different user angles. In this design, adjusting the lumbar support requires moving an angle adjustment lever under the seat cushion, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, the adjustment structure is complex and prone to failure due to its elastic adjustment mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0044] like Figures 1-16 The lumbar support angle adjustment mechanism shown includes a back support 1, a back frame 2, and a waist frame 3. The back frame 2 is fixedly installed at the front end of the back support 1. A connecting seat 4 is formed downward on the lower part of the back frame 2. The waist frame 3 is located below the back frame 2, and the upper part of the waist frame 3 is hinged to the connecting seat 4 by bolts 31. An assembly groove 5 facing the waist frame 3 is formed on the connecting seat 4. An assembly block 6 corresponding to the groove opening of the assembly groove 5 is formed downward on the upper part of the waist frame 3. A spring 7 is provided between the back of the assembly block 6 and the bottom surface of the opposite assembly groove 5.

[0045] A through hole 8 is provided on one side wall of the assembly groove 5, and a handle 9 is provided through the through hole 8. The handle 9 includes a gripping part 10 extending out of the assembly groove 5 and a connecting part 11 extending into the assembly groove 5 and hinged to the connecting seat 4. A boss 12 is provided on the back of the assembly block 6 corresponding to the connecting part 11. At least two steps 13 are formed on the side of the boss 12 facing the connecting part 11. When the handle 9 is rotated around the hinge end under force, the upper outer end of the connecting part 11 can correspond to and be locked with different steps 13 respectively. In this way, the lower part of the waist frame 3 can make different steps 13 abut against the connecting part 11 under the push of external force, so as to realize the multi-level adjustment of the waist support angle.

[0046] In the above technical solution, a connecting seat is set downwards at the lower part of the back frame, and the upper part of the connecting seat is hinged to the upper part of the waist frame by bolts, so that the waist frame can rotate relative to the back frame. An assembly block is set on the waist frame, which is opposite to the assembly groove of the connecting seat. A spring is set between the assembly block and the assembly groove to provide elastic support and reset. A handle is set on the side wall of the connecting seat, which extends into the assembly groove. A boss is set on the back of the assembly block, forming multiple steps. During rotation, the handle is locked at multiple positions corresponding to the steps. At these positions, the upper part of the handle corresponds to different steps. When the user leans against the lumbar support, he pushes the lower part of the waist frame so that different steps can abut against the handle, thereby controlling the size of the waist frame angle rotation and realizing multi-level adjustment of the lumbar support angle. The user can flexibly adjust the lumbar support angle as needed to improve the comfort and adaptability of the seat. This solution is easy to operate, simple in structure, and stable and reliable in adjustment method.

[0047] In addition, the handle is located on the connecting seat at the back of the waist frame, which is very convenient for users to reach out and touch when leaning against it.

[0048] It should be noted that in this case, there are two bosses symmetrically arranged on the back of the assembly block, that is, the handle can be installed on the left or right side to accommodate whether the user is left-handed or right-handed.

[0049] Furthermore, the back of the connecting part 11 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 14, the bottom surface of the assembly groove 5 is provided with a mounting post 15, the side of the mounting post 15 facing the positioning groove 14 is provided with a mounting groove 16, the bottom surface of the mounting groove 16 is provided with an elastic protrusion 17, and a positioning post 18 is inserted into the mounting groove 16. The positioning groove 14 is semi-circular, and the front end of the positioning post 18 is provided with a hemispherical protrusion 19 protruding from the mounting post 15. The multiple positioning grooves 14 respectively cooperate with the hemispherical protrusion 19 to lock during the rotation of the handle 9. In this technical solution, the cooperation between the positioning groove and the hemispherical protrusion enhances the reliability and feel of the handle angle locking, prevents the handle from accidentally sliding, and achieves the purpose of positioning and limiting the handle's position. When moving from one positioning groove to another, the positioning post is squeezed and compressed by the elastic protrusion. When the handle rotates to the point where the positioning groove and the hemispherical protrusion of the positioning post correspond, the elastic protrusion acts on the positioning post to make the hemispherical protrusion engage in the positioning groove. The design of the elastic protrusion and the positioning post makes the locking mechanism adaptive, reduces wear, and improves service life.

[0050] Furthermore, a screw seat 20 is provided on the bottom surface of the assembly groove 5, and a first countersunk hole 21 is provided at the outer end of the connecting part 11 corresponding to the screw seat 20. A first screw 22 is screwed into the first countersunk hole 21 and the screw seat 20 to hinge the connecting part 11 to the screw seat 20. In this technical solution, the handle is stably hinged by screw connection, which simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs, improves the rigidity and durability of the structure, and ensures that the handle remains stable after multiple operations. In addition, the head of the screw is located in the first countersunk hole to prevent the screw from protruding from the surface of the handle and interfering with the rotation of the handle.

[0051] Furthermore, the end of the connecting part 11 facing the screw seat 20 is formed with an abutment ring 23 that abuts against the edge of the screw seat 20, and a gap is formed between the inner and outer ends of the connecting part 11 and the through hole 8. In this technical solution, the abutment ring abuts against the edge of the screw seat to prevent the handle from moving back and forth, avoids direct contact between the connecting part and the through hole, makes the handle rotate more smoothly, and at the same time reduces friction with the screw seat, prevents handle wear, and reduces handle rotation jamming.

[0052] Furthermore, a limiting plate 24, which mates with the upper end of the connecting part 11, is provided on the bottom surface of the assembly groove 5 above the screw seat 20. This technical solution limits the rotation range of the handle, preventing excessive rotation from causing damage to the mechanism or loss of angle adjustment control, improving operational safety, and ensuring that angle adjustment is performed within a reasonable range. It should be noted that two limiting plates are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, meaning the handle can be installed on either the left or right side to accommodate whether the user is left-handed or right-handed.

[0053] Furthermore, the boss 12 has three steps 13, with a clearance slope 25 perpendicular to the outer end face of the connecting part 11 formed between adjacent steps 13. In this technical solution, the three steps provide three distinct adjustment levels to meet the user's needs for different angles. Figure 7 As shown, the first step 13.1 corresponds to the upper part of the outer end face of the handle connector; as Figure 8 As shown, the second step 13.2 corresponds to the upper part of the outer end face of the handle connection, and the upper clearance slope is roughly parallel to the upper end of the handle. This results in a large mating area and good limiting effect when the second step 13.2 contacts the handle; similarly, as... Figure 9 As shown, the third step 13.3 corresponds to the upper part of the outer end face of the handle connection part, and the lower avoidance slope is also roughly parallel to the upper end of the handle. In this way, when the second step 13.3 abuts against the handle, the mating area is large and the limiting effect is good.

[0054] Furthermore, the avoidance of the slope ensures a smooth transition between steps, preventing the handle from bumping and wearing down against the edges of the steps, thus improving the user experience.

[0055] Furthermore, a limiting ring 26 is provided on the bottom surface of the assembly groove 5, and a limiting groove 36 is provided on the opposite back side of the assembly block 6. A cross-shaped rib 27 is provided on the inner side of the limiting ring 26 and the limiting groove 36, and both ends of the spring 7 are respectively fitted onto the outer side of the cross-shaped rib 27. In this technical solution, the limiting ring and the cross-shaped rib ensure the correct positioning of the spring, prevent the spring from shifting or twisting during compression, improve the working stability of the spring, extend the spring life, and ensure the consistency of the waist frame's reset.

[0056] Furthermore, a hinge seat 28 protrudes from the back of the waist frame 3 above the assembly block 6, and mating seats 29 protrude from both sides of the upper part of the assembly groove 5. The hinge seat 28 extends between the two mating seats 29, and a second countersunk hole 30 is formed at the outer end of the mating seat 29. The bolt 31 passes through the mating seat 29 and the hinge seat 28, and a nut 32 located in the second countersunk hole 30 is screwed onto the threaded end of the bolt 31. In this technical solution, the waist frame is hinged to the connecting seat of the back frame by bolts and nuts. The nut of the bolt is located in the second countersunk hole on one side, and the nut on the other side is screwed onto the threaded end of the bolt and recessed into the second countersunk hole on the other side, which serves as a limit and prevents the bolt from coming off. The hinge seat extends between the two mating seats and abuts against the mating seats at both ends, which greatly improves the torsional resistance of the hinge point and makes the waist frame more stable during adjustment.

[0057] Furthermore, the connecting part 11 is provided with a weight-reducing groove 33 on the side facing the boss 12. This technical solution reduces the weight of the handle connecting part, making its rotation easier and less strenuous, thus improving user comfort. It also facilitates the positioning pin locking the connecting part through the positioning groove; saving materials and reducing manufacturing costs without affecting structural strength.

[0058] Furthermore, the connecting seat 4 is partially formed on the lower part of the back frame 2, and the upper part of the connecting seat 4 is on the back frame 2. Multiple bolt seats 34 are provided in the assembly groove 5 of the connecting seat 4. Multiple third countersunk holes 35 are correspondingly provided on the back side of the back support 1. Second screws 37 are screwed into the bolt seats 34 and the third countersunk holes 35 to fix the back support 1 and the back frame 2. In this technical solution, the connection strength between the back support and the back frame is improved by using multiple bolt seats and third countersunk holes in conjunction with second screws for fixation. Specifically, six bolt seats are assembled with the back frame, and four bolt seats are on the connecting seat. This greatly improves the structural strength of the connecting seat and enhances the assembly stability of the waist frame and the connecting seat, preventing loosening.
