  • Publication number: 20200237592
    Abstract: The invention discloses a lifting seat, which has an upper cushion assembly, a lower cushion assembly, an elastic member and an adjustment structure. One end of the upper cushion assembly is rotatably connected with one end of the lower cushion assembly, and the elastic member is arranged between the upper cushion assembly and the lower cushion assembly; wherein, the upper cushion assembly and the lower cushion assembly rotate relatively to have an open state and a closed state. The elastic member is in compression state when it is closed, and the adjustment structure is used to change the torque of the upper cushion assembly to the elastic member when it is open and closed. The technical solution provided by the invention can solve the problem that the existing lifting seat cannot fully satisfy the user's sit-to-stand requirements.
