Abstract

A smart chair includes a seat and a power supply device installed to the seat. The power supply device is electrically coupled to a voltage detection unit and a voltage adjustment unit. The voltage detection unit is provided for detecting a load signal, and the voltage adjustment unit is provided for adjusting and outputting a DC voltage according to the load signal. The concepts of resting, leisure and business are combined to provide a chair capable of detecting and outputting an appropriate DC voltage automatically.

Claims (17)

1. A smart chair, comprising a seat, and a power supply device installed to the seat and electrically coupled to a voltage detection unit and a voltage adjustment unit, and the voltage detection unit being provided for detecting a load signal, and the voltage adjustment unit adjusting an output DC voltage according to the load signal; the smart chair further comprising at least one socket coupled to the power supply device, and the seat comprising a seat surface, a back coupled to the seat surface, and two armrests coupled to the seat surface, and the socket being selectively installed in the seat surface, the back, or one of the armrests, and the socket comprising a circuit board and a plurality of ports electrically coupled to the circuit board,

wherein the seat further comprises a power storage unit for supplying electric power to the power supply device, and the power storage unit is selectively installed on the bottom surface of the seat, and the power storage unit is a lithium battery, a battery, or a lithium-ion battery.

2. The smart chair of claim 1 , wherein the power supply device further comprises a control unit installed therein and coupled to the voltage detection unit and the voltage adjustment unit, and the control unit recognizes the load signal and controls the voltage adjustment unit to output the required DC voltage.
