This application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Embodiment 1: A detachable rotating structure, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, includes a first part 100 and a second part 111, which are respectively fixed to the backrest or the waist support by bolts. Generally speaking, the first part 100 is installed on the backrest, and the second part 111 is installed on the waist support.
Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the end of the first part 100 is rotatably connected to the second part 111. In this embodiment, the end of the second part 111 is sleeved with a shell 112, and the shell 112 is a hollow structure. The first part 100 has a rotating shaft 113 that penetrates the shell 112. The front part of the rotating shaft 113 is cylindrical, and the rear half is prismatic. A motion ring 114 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 113, and the inner side of the motion ring 114 is a prismatic hole that is clamped to the rotating shaft 113, so that the motion ring 114 can be synchronously rotated and connected to the rotating shaft 113.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a plurality of grooves 115 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the side ring surface of the motion ring 114, and correspondingly, a stopper is provided at the rotating end of the second part 111 for embedding into the groove 115. The stopper is elastically clamped into the groove 115 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 113, and the stopper has an abutment surface 116 along the reverse direction, and the abutment surface 116 is used to abut against the inner wall of the limit groove 115 to limit the rotation of the first part 100 and the second part 111. In this embodiment, the positive direction is the direction of rotation adjustment of the normal lumbar support, and the reverse direction is the reverse rotation. At this time, the existence of the abutment surface 116 enables the first part 100 and the second part 111 to be relatively fixed in the reverse direction.
2, 4 and 6, a linkage ring 120 is rotatably connected in the shell 112, a protrusion 121 is provided on the side ring surface of the linkage ring 120, and a linkage block 122 is provided on the outer wall of the linkage ring 120. In this embodiment, the linkage ring 120 is rotatably connected to the shell 112, and a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is provided at the rotation position of the linkage ring 120, so that the linkage ring 120 can be reset to the original position under the action of the torsion spring after each rotation. The outer side of the motion ring 114 has a circumferential avoidance groove 123, which is arc-shaped. The above-mentioned protrusion 121 is embedded in the avoidance groove 123. During the rotation of the motion ring 114, the protrusion 121 will slide in the avoidance groove 123. When the end of the avoidance groove 123 abuts against the protrusion 121, the linkage ring 120 can be driven to rotate. During the rotation, the linkage block 122 will abut against the limiter, so that the limiter is separated from the motion ring 114, and the circumferential limit of the first part 100 and the second part 111 is released.
Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the limiter in this embodiment includes a limiter 130 elastically sliding at the end of the second part 111 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 113, and a one-way convex tooth 131 arranged on the side of the limiter 130 close to the motion ring 114, and the linkage block 122 is used to abut against the limiter 130. On one side of the limit block 130, there is a linkage groove 132 for the linkage block 122 to enter. During the rotation process, the linkage block 122 will gradually be embedded in the linkage groove 132. There is a convex part in the linkage groove 132, which can make the limit block 130 as a whole disengage from the groove 115 after the collision, and at this time, the first part 100 and the second part 111 can rotate in the opposite direction.
The end of the second part 111 has a first groove 133 for the limit block 130 to be embedded along its length direction. A first elastic member is arranged between the bottom of the first groove 133 and the limit block 130. In this embodiment, the first elastic member is a first spring 135. The bottom of the first groove 133 has a second groove 134, and the first spring 135 is arranged in the second groove 134. The housing 112 has a second elastic member connected to the limit block 130 and making it have a tendency to be embedded in the groove 115. In this embodiment, the second elastic member is a second spring 136.
The working principle of embodiment 1 is as follows: first, the first part 100 and the second part 111 rotate relative to each other, and the rotating shaft 113 will drive the moving ring 114 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the limit block 130 is limited by the first groove 133, so the inclined surface of the one-way convex tooth 131 will abut against the edge of the groove 115, so that the limit block 130 retreats along the length direction of the rotating shaft 113. At this time, the second spring 136 is compressed, so that the one-way convex tooth 131 can be embedded in the next groove 115, and the flat part of the one-way convex tooth 131 is the abutment surface 116, which fits with the inner wall of the groove 115 so that it will not be separated in the reverse direction.
With continuous rotation and adjustment, the avoidance groove 123 will move until the protrusion 121 abuts, at which time the linkage ring 120 will be driven to rotate, and the linkage block 122 will enter the linkage groove 132. At the same time, the rotation direction of the second part 111 enters the last gear. At this time, the linkage block 122 pushes the limit block 130 to disengage, and the abutment surface 116 will also disengage. At this time, the first spring 135 will be compressed. During this process, the time is enough to make the second part 111 rotate in the opposite direction. Then the limit block 130 moves along the first groove 133 under the action of the first spring 135 and resets. At this time, the abutment surface 116 continues to be in the opposite direction. The overall process is relatively simple, and the position of the lumbar support can be adjusted very conveniently to improve comfort.
Embodiment 2: The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the stopper includes a stopper 130 disposed at the end of the second portion 111, and a one-way protrusion 142 elastically disposed on the stopper 130 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 113. The one-way protrusion 142 has a guiding inclined surface 144 for contacting the edge of the groove 115 on one side along the rotation direction, and the other side is a contact surface 116. The one-way protrusion 142 is evenly distributed along the direction of the rotation path. The end of the groove 115 facing outward in the radial direction is open.
Each one-way protrusion 142 is arranged on the limit block 130, and a separate stopper 143 is provided in the inner cavity of the limit block 130. One stopper 143 is connected to multiple one-way protrusions 142. In this embodiment, the second spring 136 is present in the inner cavity of the limit block 130 and is connected to the stopper 143, so that the entire limit block 130 will only move back and forth along the length direction of the second part 111, thereby reducing the movement of the limit block 130 in other directions to avoid jamming in the case of long-term use.
And when the linkage block 122 pushes the limit block 130, it can be withdrawn from the opening side of the groove 115, which is more convenient. At the same time, the separate one-way protrusion 142 can make the cooperation between the abutment surface 116 and the groove 115 smoother when disengaging and combining.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the application should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
