(17) This specific embodiment is merely an explanation to the present invention, rather than a limitation to the present invention. After reading this specification, a person skilled in the art can make amendments without creative contributions to this embodiment according to requirements, but the amendments are protected by the Patent Law as long as they fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiment 1: a chair reclining adjustment mechanism, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, comprises a chassis 2 and a turntable 1; one end of the chassis 2 is provided with a lifting pump 5, and the other end is provided with two side plates 22 to form a U-shaped connection structure; the turntable 1 is connected to a seat of a chair, and is provided with two corresponding side walls 11 between which the two side plates 22 are inserted, and a rotation shaft 3 is used to connect the two side plates 11 and the two side plates 22 to form a rotation structure in a shape of a rocker.

(18) Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, an elastic resetting device 4 is disposed on the turntable 1 and the chassis 2, and the turntable 1 is pulled and maintained by the elastic resetting device 4 to form a rotation gap 10 on the other side. The elastic resetting device 4 includes a pull rod 41, a compression spring 42, a pressing member 44, and a driving member 45; a connection hole 12 (referring to FIG. 4) is disposed at a position, located on one side of the rotation shaft 3, of the turntable 1, and an escape hole 23 (referring to FIG. 4) is disposed at an edge position, located on one side of the rotation shaft 3, of the chassis 2; one end of the pull rod 41 is provided with a blocking cap 411, and the other end is provided with a thread; the end provided with the thread is in thread connection to the driving member 45 after passing through the connection hole 12, the escape hole 23, the compression spring 42, and the pressing member 44 in sequence. Two ends of the compression spring 42 respectively abut against an end surface of the chassis 2 and the pressing member 44. The driving member 45 is a knob disposed in a hollow manner, the pressing member 44 is accommodated in the knob; a corrugated sheath 43 is sleeved outside the compression spring 42, and one end of the corrugated sheath 43 is inserted in the knob.

(19) One end, provided with the blocking cap 411, of the pull rod 41 is further provided with a cuboid-shaped limiting block 412, which is connected to the blocking cap 411. Referring to FIG. 5, the connection hole 12 is in a rectangular shape, with a width the same as that of the limiting block 412 and a length greater than that of the limiting block 412, so that the limiting block 412 can be inserted into the connection hole 12 and has a certain moving space. An edge of the connection hole 12 on the turntable 1 is provided with a counterbore 13 recessed towards the direction of the chassis 2, so that the blocking cap 411 has a certain rotation space, thereby avoiding affecting mounting of the seat and the turntable 1; the counterbore 13 is in a shape of an inverted quadrangular frustum pyramid.

(20) Two arc-shaped protrusions 14 are disposed on two sides of the connection hole 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the escape hole 23 may be set to a waist-full form or a circle of which the diameter is greater than the pull rod 41. In this way, when the turntable 1 rotates to drive the pull rod 41 to move, the blocking cap 411 can perform corresponding movement on the arc-shaped protrusion 14, and the escape hole 23 does not limit movement of the pull rod 41.

(21) Referring to FIG. 2, a boss 21 is disposed on an edge of the escape hole 23; the diameter of the boss 21 is less than that of the compression spring 42; radial positioning can be performed on the compression spring 42 by using the boss 21, to avoid cases such as shaking during the use process thereof.

The resetting spring 63 and the abutting plate 62 form the locking component 6.

(24) Referring to FIG. 7, the slide block 71 is controlled by an unlocking component 8, which includes a pull string 81, a hollow protection pipe 9, and a retractor 83; as shown in FIG. 9, the retractor 83 includes a housing 831, a take-up cylinder 832, and a limiting clamping member 833; an insertion hole 8322 is disposed in the middle of the take-up cylinder 832; the take-up cylinder 832 penetrates through the insertion hole 8322 by using a rotation shaft to be rotatably connected to the housing 831; as shown in FIG. 10, a clamping slot 84 (referring to FIG. 7) and an accommodating groove 85 configured to accommodate the pull string 81 are disposed on the retractor 83; the accommodating groove 85 is in communication with the clamping slot 84. One end of the pull string 81 is clamped into the clamping slot 84 by using a clamping member 811 after penetrating through the housing 831, to connect the pull string 81 to the retractor 83. The clamping member 811 on the end is cylindrical. A toggle piece 8321 exposed on the housing 831 is disposed on the take-up cylinder 832 to toggle the take-up cylinder 832 to rotate, so as to accommodate the pull string 81 into the accommodating groove 85. As shown in FIG. 11, an opening 8311 is disposed on the housing 831 to allow toggling of the toggle 8321; the toggle piece 8321 is provided with an arc-shaped baffle 8324 for sealing the opening 8311.

(25) As shown in FIG. 9, the limiting clamping member 833 is an elastic clamping piece that bends to form an clamping protrusion 8331; the elastic clamping piece is clamped on the housing 831; two recessed portions 8323 are disposed on the take-up cylinder 832, into which the clamping protrusion 8331 is clamped to limit rotation of the take-up cylinder 832.

(26) Referring to FIG. 7, a clamping member 811 is also disposed on the other end of the pull string 81. The clamping member 811 on the end is bead-shaped, and the slide block 71 is also provided with a clamping slot 84 and an accommodating groove 85 that is configured to accommodate the pull string 81; the other end of the pull string 81 penetrates through the abutting plate 62 and is clamped into the clamping slot 84 of the slide block 71 by using the clamping member 811 for connection; two ends of the hollow protection pipe 9 are fixedly connected between the abutting plate 62 and the housing 831, and the pull string 81 is inserted in the hollow protection pipe 9.

(27) The turntable 1 is rotatably connected to the chassis 2, and under the effect of the elastic resetting device 4, a person can recline backwards/forwards when sitting on a chair made of the components, so as to drive a seat fixed on the turntable 1 to accordingly rotate, and after an external force disappears, the seat is reset by the elastic force of the compression spring 42 to return to the initial position. In addition, the elastic force of the compression spring 42 can be adjusted by rotating the knob to control the magnitude of the acting force needed to drive the turntable 1 to rotate, and the force can be accordingly adjusted according to requirements of different weights and populations.

(28) In addition, the turntable 1 is limited by means of configuration of the locking member 7, so that whether the chair has a reclining function can be selected according to requirements; at an initial position, a handle is wound on a take-up device, and then the pull string 81 pulls the slide block 71 to keep the compression spring 42 in a compressed state, the slide block 71 is not clamped between the turntable 1 and the chassis 2, and the turntable 1 can drive the seat to rotate. When rotation of the turntable 1 needs to be limited, the take-up cylinder 832 is rotated, so that the pull string 81 becomes longer; under the effect of the compression spring 42, the slide block 71 is pushed towards the rotation shaft 3, so that the slide block 71 is clamped between the turntable 1 and the chassis 2, and in this case, the slide block 71 limits rotation of the turntable 1.
