[Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0016] [Figure 1] This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the chair backrest of the height-adjustable chair in the embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a schematic diagram of the side structure of the chair back of a height-adjustable chair. [Figure 3] This is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the chair backrest. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0017] The present application will be explained in more detail below, with reference to Figures 1-3.

[0018] This application discloses a chair backrest for a height-adjustable chair. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the chair backrest for a height-adjustable chair includes a height-adjustable chair seat 1 and a chair backrest body 2. The height-adjustable chair seat 1 includes a cushion frame 11, a cushion 12 mounted on the cushion frame 11, and a chair backrest connecting portion 13 provided on the cushion frame 11. The chair backrest connecting portion 13 includes a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, and the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are used to attach the chair backrest body 2. The chair backrest body 2 includes a backrest frame body 21, a backrest 22 partially connected to the backrest frame body 21, and an S-shaped frame 23 provided between the backrest frame body 21 and the backrest 22. An adjustment space 24 exists between the backrest frame body 21 and the backrest 22, and the S-shaped portion of the S-shaped frame 23 is located within the adjustment space 24.

[0019] The backrest connecting section 13 is L-shaped, with a first mounting section provided horizontally and a second mounting section provided vertically. The first mounting section is connected to the cushion frame 11, and an expandable cavity is provided at the bottom of the backrest frame body 21. By fitting the expandable cavity onto the second mounting section, the backrest frame body 21 can be adjusted to move vertically. The expandable cavity provides a curved space in the S-shaped frame 23 when adjusting the height of the backrest, extending the lifespan of the chair.

[0020] One end of the backrest frame body 21 close to the lifting chair seat 1 is attached to the first attachment part, and one end of the S-shaped frame body 23 close to the lifting chair seat 1 is attached to the second attachment part. When the height of the chair backrest body 2 increases, the shape of the S-shaped frame body 23 stretches, and when the height of the chair backrest body 2 decreases, the shape of the S-shaped frame body 23 is compressed. When the height of the chair backrest increases, the S-shape stretches and deforms in the height direction, and the elastic deformation of the S-shape is larger. Also, since the S-shape has a structure that can expand and contract in the vertical direction, when the chair backrest body 2 is lowered, it is in the short shape of the backrest, and when it is raised, it is in the long shape of the backrest, and the shape changes with the height. With the installation of the S-shape, the chair backrest becomes more flexible during use, and the visual integrity of the chair backrest is guaranteed.

[0021] The backrest frame body 21 is a frame with a space in the middle. Between the backrest frame body 21 and the S-shaped frame body 23, a cam 211 is provided. On the backrest frame body 21, a connecting lug for attaching the cam 211 is provided. At one end of the back plate 22 close to the lifting chair seat 1, an attaching lug is provided. In the attaching lug, a cam hole is opened. When the back plate 22 is attached to the backrest frame body 21, the cam 211 is located in the cam hole. The backrest frame body 21 has a space in the middle. One reason is that it can guarantee the strength and reduce the weight of the backrest frame body 21. The other reason is that when guaranteeing the overall strength, it can save materials and reduce costs. After the backrest frame body 21 is connected to the back plate 22, the shape of the back plate 22 changes along with the S-shaped frame body 23. After the user adjusts the height, not only the integrity is guaranteed, but also the back plate 22 changes along with the S-shaped frame body 23, forming a protrusion with a radian. When leaning on the backrest, the protrusion with the radian at this part serves as a backrest cushion, so that the user does not need to use a backrest cushion and avoids troubles such as the falling of the backrest cushion.

[0022] In a selectable embodiment, the S-shaped frame 23 includes a first curved portion 231 and a second curved portion 232. The second curved portion 232 is close to the lift chair seat 1. The first curved portion 231 is connected to the second curved portion 232 and is located above the second curved portion 232. The first curved portion 231 and the second curved portion 232 have opposite bending directions. The lower half of the backrest 22 is flush with the first curved portion 231. The lower half of the backrest 22 is flush with the first curved portion 231, and an arc-shaped formation protruding along the first curved portion 231 is formed, ensuring the overall visual effect and contributing to improved comfort. When in use, it supports the user's back. When adjusting the height of the chair backrest, the position and radian of the first curved portion 231 also change, and during the lifting process, it can meet the needs of different body heights.

[0023] In a selectable embodiment, a texture 224 is uniformly provided on the backrest 22. Due to the texture 224, the comfort of the backrest 22 is guaranteed after bending. The upper part of the backrest 22 is the first backrest 221, and the lower part of the backrest 22 is the second backrest 222. The thickness of the first backrest 221 is smaller than the thickness of the second backrest 222. The texture 224 provided on the backrest 22 is of a special shape. The texture 224 reduces the discomfort after the backrest 22 bends and improves the comfort of the waist and back. Since the thickness of the first backrest 221 is smaller than the thickness of the second backrest 222, the first backrest 221 can stick to and wrap the back, becoming more comfortable, and the second backrest 222 can support the waist, meeting ergonomics.

[0024] The first curved portion 231 has a radian. On one side of the second curved portion 232 close to the lift chair seat 1, a plurality of buffer grooves 233 are uniformly opened. The radian of the first curved portion 231 mainly serves a supporting role. The installation of the buffer grooves 233 is mainly used to increase the adjustment space 24 and enable the second curved portion 232 to achieve a better curvature while reducing stress. In a preferred embodiment, the buffer groove 233 is L-shaped. The groove of a special shape increases the deformation amount of the second curved portion 232.

[0025] A plate lug is provided at the lower end of the S-shaped frame 23, and a connecting hole 234 is provided in the plate lug, and the S-shaped frame 23 is rotatably connected to the first mounting part via the connecting hole 234. Preferably, the S-shaped frame 23 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the cushion frame 11 via the connecting hole 234. The lower end of the S-shaped frame 23 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the cushion frame 11 or the chair backrest connecting part 13. In this way, the S-shaped frame 23 can be more adapted to the extension deformation of the S-shaped frame 23, the adjustment of the chair backrest can be made easier, the requirement for a large amount of deformation can be met, and the diameter of the second curved part 232 of the S-shaped frame 23 can be set to be smaller, the space it occupies is smaller and it is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0026] In one selectable embodiment, the S-shaped frame 23 is required to be made of ultra-strong nylon material. In one selectable embodiment, the entire outer surface of the S-shaped frame 23 is covered with fabric, and in appearance, when adjusting the height, the chair backrest transitions smoothly, eliminating the visual discontinuity problem in conventional designs, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, and making it less likely for a back cushion separately placed by the user to become attached between the chair backrest and the cushion 12.

[0027] A height positioning structure is provided between the backrest frame body 21 and the chair backrest connecting part 13, which can lock the height position of the chair backrest. This prevents the chair backrest from becoming difficult to use due to a change in height after adjustment, which can occur if the chair backrest is not positioned correctly. The height positioning structure includes a rack, a first direction changing structure and a second direction changing structure. The rack is provided on the chair backrest connecting part 13, the first direction changing structure is provided on the upper end of the rack, and the second direction changing structure is provided on the lower end of the rack. The backrest frame body 21 is provided with elastic locking teeth, which engage with the rack to lock it in place.

[0028] The user pulls the backrest frame body 21 upward, allowing the elastic locking teeth to move upward along the rack. When the upward movement is stopped, the elastic locking teeth engage with the rack by the action of a spring, locking in place. When the elastic locking teeth align with the upper end of the rack, they come into contact with the first direction-changing structure, thereby maintaining a retracted state. At this time, the backrest frame body 21 can move smoothly downward. When it moves down to the lower end of the rack, the elastic locking teeth come into contact with the second direction-changing structure, causing the elastic locking teeth to spring out from their retracted state, thereby engaging with the rack and locking. When the chair backrest body 2 is pulled out to its highest point and lowered, the elastic locking teeth are in a contracted state, causing the chair backrest body 2 to fall directly. The presence of the S-shaped frame 23 cushions this direct falling motion, thereby preventing the impact noise and, consequently, the injury caused by the chair backrest body 2 falling directly.

[0029] The implementation principle of the embodiment of this invention is as follows: When the height of the chair backrest increases, the S-shape expands and deforms in the height direction, and the elastic deformation of the S-shape is greater. Also, because the S-shape is a structure that can expand and contract vertically, when the chair backrest body 2 is lower, it is in the shape of a short backrest, and when it is higher, it is in the shape of a long backrest. The shape changes with height, and by installing the S-shape, the chair backrest becomes more flexible when in use, and the visual overall appearance of the chair backrest is guaranteed. The backrest frame body 21 has a space in the middle, which guarantees strength and the weight of the backrest frame body 21. This is because it can reduce the burden, and secondly, it can save materials and reduce costs while ensuring overall strength. After the backrest frame is connected to the back plate 22, the shape of the back plate 22 changes in accordance with the S-shaped frame 23. After the user adjusts the height, not only is the overall structure ensured, but the back plate 22 also changes in accordance with the S-shaped frame 23, forming a curved projection. When leaning against the backrest, this curved projection acts as a back cushion, so the user does not need to use a separate back cushion and avoids the inconvenience of the back cushion falling off.

[0030] All of the above are preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, equivalent modifications based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should all be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
