DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
To more clearly explain the invention, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawings.
In the following description, details of embodiments are provided to gain a deeper understanding of the invention. Obviously, the embodiments in the following description are merely illustrative ones, and are not all possible ones of the invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments are merely used for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
It should be understood that terms “include” and/or “comprise” used in the specification refers to the presence of said feature, entity, step, operation, element or assembly and do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, entities, steps, operations, elements, assemblies or combinations thereof.
Referring to FIG. 1-FIG. 10, the invention provides an adjustable multi-use chair, comprising two chair backs which are a first chair back 11 and a second chair back 12, a seat 3 and a chair leg 4, wherein the seat 3 is connected to the chair leg 4, and a pneumatic rod 41 for adjusting the height of the chair is arranged in the chair leg 4; the first chair back 11 is connected to the seat 3 by means of a connecting mechanism 13, and the second chair back 12 is connected to the first chair back 11 by means of a first angle adjustment mechanism 14; and the connecting mechanism 13 comprises a chair back lifting device 131 which has adjustment positions. When adjusted, the first chair back is lifted to drive the chair back lifting device to change its position, and after the first chair back is adjusted to a proper height, the chair back lifting device will be fixed automatically and does not need to be locked, thus simplifying operation steps; and when the first chair back needs to be lowered, the chair back lifting device can descend to the original position to lower the backrest from the highest position. The pneumatic rod 41 used for adjusting the height and rotation direction of the chair is arranged in the chair leg. The first angle adjustment mechanism 14 can adjust relative positions of the second chair back 12 and the first chair back 11. Generally, the angle between a backrest surface of the first chair back and a seat surface of the seat is the same as the angle between a backrest surface of the second chair back and the seat surface of the seat, such that the back of users can be supported when the users sit forward on the chair. In a case where the second chair back is folded by 90° in a direction away from the seat by means of the first angle adjustment mechanism, the second chair back is parallel to the seat, at this moment, the second chair back can be used as a desk or a small table and can store notebooks, books, tablet computers or other items, and users can turn around to sit on the chair to work comfortably. In a case where the second chair back is folded by 180° in a direction away from the seat by means of the first angle adjustment mechanism, the second chair back is next to the first chair back, and users can turn around to sit on the chair to use the desk or perform other operations without being interfered by the second chair back. If the second chair back cannot be adjusted to be next to the first chair back, the second chair back possibly abuts against the desk, and users cannot work comfortably with the desk, causing inconvenience. The chair can be adjusted in multiple ways, thus improving the degree of freedom in use and satisfying the requirements of users for changing the sitting position. A joint of the first chair back 11 and the connecting mechanism 13 is narrow, extends in a direction away from the seat, and expands smoothly to form a support part, and the backrest surface of the first chair back is approximately of an inverted triangular structure. The joint of the first chair back and the connecting mechanism is retracted inwards with respect to the support part to provide a space allowing users to place their thighs therein, such that the users can stretch their thighs freely when sitting backward on the chair, thus guaranteeing comfort to some extent. The support part is in smooth transition with the joint, such that users can be protected against collisions when sitting backward on the chair. The first chair back allows users to change their sitting position directly in a case where the second chair back is folded by the users function as a desk, the second chair back does not need to be adjusted synchronously, and the back of the users can still be supported by the first chair back when the users sit forward on the chair, thus reducing, to some extent, the complexity of position changing. By adopting two chair backs, users not only can sit on the chair, but also can sleep on the chair, and the chair backs are large enough to support the head of the users when the users lie on the chair, thus providing good usage experience; and when the chair is transported, the second chair back can be folded to be attached to the first chair back, thus facilitating transportation, greatly reducing the transportation cost, and lowering the entry difficulty.
Further, the adjustable multi-use chair further comprises a first armrest 21 and a second armrest 22, wherein the first armrest 21 is connected to the seat 3 by means of a second angle adjustment mechanism 23, the second armrest 22 is connected to the seat 3 by means of a third angle adjustment mechanism 24, the second angle adjustment mechanism and the third angle adjustment mechanism are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the seat and connected to the first armrest and the second armrest respectively. By means of the two angle adjustment mechanisms, the angle between inner sides, close to the seat, of the two armrests and the seat surface of the seat can be adjusted to a plurality of angles from an acute angle to a reflex angle (greater than) 180°, and the two armrests can be adjusted separately. Any one of the two armrests can be adjusted to be flush with the seat, and users can laterally sit on the chair using the erected armrest as a backrest; at this moment, the second chair back can be adjusted to be parallel to the seat to function as a desk; the two armrests can be adjusted to be flush with the seat to allow users to lie on the side on the chair; and the angle between the inner sides of the two armrests and the seat surface of the seat can also be adjusted to 270°, at this moment, users can sit backward on the chair without being interfered by the armrests and can easily straddle on the chair, thus greatly optimizing usage experience.
Further, the second angle adjustment mechanism and the third angle adjustment mechanism each comprise a first rotating arm 231, a second rotating arm 232 and a return spring 233; two through grooves with L-shaped cross-sections are formed in the first rotting arm 231 and used for receiving a fixing block 2311 and a fixing elastic piece 2312, the fixing elastic piece is arranged in one of the through grooves and is not higher than the through groove, and one end of the fixing elastic piece abuts against the fixing block; the fixing block is arranged in the other through groove and is not lower than the through groove; the second rotating arm comprises two rotating disks, the first rotating arm is clamped between the two rotating disks, and tooth grooves 2321 are formed in the two rotating disks; and through holes allowing a rotating shaft to penetrate through are formed in the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm. When the armrests are adjusted from an initial state where the angle between inner sides of the armrests and the seat surface of the seat is minimum, the first rotating arm and the second rotating arm rotate axially with respect to the rotating shaft, one side of the fixing block of the first rotating arm is clamped between the two tooth grooves, the other side of the fixing block of the first rotating arm is clamped between the through grooves, and each tooth groove corresponds to one adjustment position; when the armrests need to be restored, the second rotating arm is deflected to an angle greater than the maximum adjustment angle, at this moment, the fixing block is separated from the fixing elastic piece, the second rotating arm is rotated to the initial position, the fixing elastic piece abuts against the fixing block again, and the armrests return to the normal state. The angle of the armrests can be easily adjusted by means of the second angle adjustment mechanism and the third angle adjustment mechanism, and the armrests can be adjusted, if necessary, only by applying a push force thereto, and unlocking, adjustment and locking of locking structures are not needed, such that adjustment is easy, and using convenience can be greatly improved. The return springs are fixed to the first rotating arms and can improve adjustment damping, thus guaranteeing smooth and gentle adjustment, and avoiding poor experience caused by an excessive deflection angle of the armrests when the armrests are slightly pushed. The return springs can also fulfill a limiting effect: when the armrests return to the initial state, the return springs are in a balanced state; when the armrests are deflected towards the seat surface of the seat to make the angle between the inner sides of the armrests and the seat surface of the seat less than that in the initial state, the return springs will be compressed to prevent the armrests against excessive deflection, thus protecting the fixing elastic pieces from being squeezed and damaged.
Further, an armrest bracket 25 and an armrest bracket adjustment device 26 are arranged in each armrest; the armrest bracket is fixed to one end of the armrest bracket adjustment device; the armrest bracket adjustment device 26 comprises a lifting rod 261, a lifting sleeve 262 with a lifting positioning groove, a positioning rod 263, an adjustment switch 264, a lifting rod inner sleeve 265 and an armrest bracket outer sleeve 266, through grooves 267 for receiving the positioning rod are formed in the lifting rod 261 and the lifting rod inner sleeve 265 respectively, the positioning rod is arranged in the through grooves 267, and the lifting rod 261 is arranged in the lifting rod inner sleeve 265; the lifting rod inner sleeve 265 is sleeved with the lifting sleeve 262, and the positioning rod 261 slides in the lifting positioning groove; the lifting positioning groove comprises a plurality of positioning grooves and a sliding groove connected with the positioning grooves, and the positioning rod is limited in any one of the positioning grooves; the lifting sleeve is sleeved with the armrest bracket outer sleeve, and the lifting sleeve is fixed to an inner wall of the armrest bracket outer sleeve; a through groove allowing the adjustment switch to penetrate through is formed in the armrest bracket outer sleeve, and one end of the adjustment switch is fixed to the lifting rod. When the armrest bracket needs to be adjusted, the adjustment switch is pressed to push the lifting rod to move inwards, at this moment, the positioning rod in the through groove slides into the sliding groove form one positioning groove, and at this moment, the armrest bracket can be lifted or lowered to adjust the height of the armrest bracket; after the height of the armrest bracket is adjusted, the adjustment switch is released, the lifting rod returns to the original position, and the positioning rod is squeezed by the through groove to slide into one positioning groove form the sliding groove, at this moment, the height of the armrest bracket is fixed, and adjustment is finished. The armrest brackets and the armrest bracket adjustment devices are arranged the two armrests.
Further, a rotating shaft 268 is arranged at an end, connected to the armrest bracket, of the armrest bracket adjustment device, and the armrest bracket is connected to the armrest bracket adjustment device by means of the rotating shaft. One end of the armrest bracket can be pushed to enable the armrest bracket to rotate axially around the rotating shaft, such that the position of the armrest bracket can be adjusted to allow users to lean thereagainst.
Further, a convex rib 15 is arranged at an end, away from the seat 3, of the second chair back 12. In a common state where the angle between the backrest surface of the first chair back and the seat surface of the seat is the same as the angle between the backrest surface of the second chair back and the seat surface of the seat, the convex rib can be used as a headrest, thus improving the comfort of the chair backs and protecting, to some extent, the neck of users; when the second chair back is folded by 90° in a direction away from the seat to function as a desk, the convex rib can fulfill a limiting effect to some extent; a mat of a computer is attached to the convex rib, and one end of the computer clines to the convex rib, such that the computer is less likely to slide when placed on the second chair back.
Further, the connecting mechanism 13 further comprises a sitting depth adjustment mechanism 132 for adjusting the distance between the first chair back 11 and the seat 3, the sitting depth adjustment mechanism is adjusted by means of a rotating handle 1321, and by rotating the rotating handle, the positions of clamping teeth connected to the rotating handle in an adjustment groove 1322 can be adjusted; and the connecting mechanism 13 further comprises four limiting grooves 1323, and the limiting grooves 1323 are parallel to the adjustment groove 1322 and used for limiting the position and moving direction of the seat (close to or away from the first chair back). Some users want to place their thighs on the seat to realize uniform stress and lean their back against the chair backs, some other users want to suspend their thighs to accelerate heat dissipation, and different users have different preferences; users with different figures will have different feelings when sitting on the chair, so the sitting depth adjustment mechanism is arranged to provide more options to satisfy the requirements of different users.
Further, a cushion is arranged on the seat, and two ends of the cushion extend out of the seat and wraps around two ends of the seat. Because the two ends of the seat are wrapped with the cushion, no matter whether users sit forward or backward on the chair, the two ends, in contact with the legs of users, of the seat are soft, thus providing good usage experience.
Further, the first chair back, the second chair back, the first armrest and the second armrest are all wrapped with cushions.
