According to the application, the side wing can be folded and opened at will, and the structure of the application is more inclusive. During the opening and folding process, puling of the headrest or pushing of the side wing can be performed more smoothly and labor-savingly, and the phenomenon of deflection and jamming can be avoided, such that the opening and folding process of the side wings is smoother. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A side wing adjustment mechanism for adjusting a height of a headrest relative to a backrest and an extension distance of side wings, wherein the side wing adjustment mechanism comprises: a pin, arranged on the headrest; and a groove, arranged on one of the side wings, wherein the groove includes a first groove portion inclined with respect to a longitudinal center axis of the backrest, and a second groove portion extending from the first groove portion and substantially parallel with the longitudinal center axis of the backrest, and the pin is slidable along the first groove portion to adjust an extension distance of the one of the side wings and slidable along the second groove portion to adjust the height of the headrest relative to the backrest. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The side wing adjustment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the first groove portion is gradually inclined towards the longitudinal center axis of the backrest in a direction extending from bottom to top toward the headrest along the longitudinal center axis. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The side wing adjustment mechanism according to claim 1, wherein the second groove portion is arranged below the first groove portion along the longitudinal center axis. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The side wing adjustment mechanism according to claim 1, further comprising a return member, and the return member is pivotally connected to the one of the side wings. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The side wing adjustment mechanism according to claim 4, wherein the return member is in a U shape as a whole, a bottom end of the U shape is a first end, the pin is received in the first end and is slidable in the U shape of the return member, an open end of the U shape is a second end, and the second end is pivotally connected to the one of the side wings. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The side wing adjustment mechanism according to claim 4, further comprising a spring, and the spring is connected between the return member and the one of the side wings. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The side wing adjustment mechanism according to claim 6, further comprising a spring positioning member, wherein the spring positioning member is arranged on the one of the side wings for positioning the spring. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The side wing adjustment mechanism according to claim 4, further comprising a further pin arranged on the headrest;
