With the progress of the times, our office environment is improving day by day, and the functions of office chairs are becoming more diverse. Nowadays, they are even equipped with practical features such as reclining and adjustable height. This article will focus on how to adjust the height function of office chairs, providing relevant methods and techniques for everyone.
1. Adjustment principle of pneumatic office chair
The design of the pneumatic office chair is clever, and its height adjustment mainly relies on the joystick and high-pressure gas. The lever under the chair controls the lifting and lowering of the chair. When no one is using it, simply lift the operating lever upwards, and high-pressure gas will rebound, pushing the seat up. When the user sits on the chair, lifting the operating lever will cause high-pressure rebound in the air rod, thereby generating resistance, causing the seat to slowly lower under the action of gravity to meet the user's needs.
If there are two control levers under the seat cushion of an office chair, one of which is mainly used to adjust the height of the chair, while the other is responsible for adjusting the tilt angle of the back of the chair. If you are unsure of its function, try operating it and then make corresponding adjustments to better understand the function of each joystick.
2. Adjustment method of spiral office chair
For spiral office chairs, the chair height can be adjusted by turning the knob. Clockwise rotation will lower the chair, while counterclockwise rotation will raise the chair.
3. Manual adjustment
For old-fashioned office chairs that are neither pneumatic nor spiral, their height adjustment methods may vary. This type of chair usually has a fixed screw under the backrest. Before adjustment, it is necessary to use a tool to loosen the screws, and then freely lift the chair to the appropriate height, and finally tighten the screws for fixation. This process is quite similar to the lifting principle of bicycle seat cushions.
Due to the varying heights of individuals, the height of the desktop may also differ. To achieve the most comfortable working posture, it is recommended that everyone adjust the height of the desktop to the appropriate position according to their own height.
