Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wheelchair ladder, in particular to a foldable wheelchair ladder with high stability. Background Art

[0002] A wheelchair ladder is a device that facilitates the passage of wheelchairs over stairs. In real life, not all stairs have smooth slopes on the sides for wheelchairs to pass through. Therefore, in such a situation, the wheelchair user can only be carried over the stairs on their back and then the wheelchair can be moved over the stairs alone, or the wheelchair can be lifted directly and the wheelchair user can be lifted over the stairs together. This method of navigating stairs is extremely troublesome and labor-intensive, and it is not something that can be done by one person. However, a wheelchair ladder can quickly create a smooth slope on the side of the stairs, allowing wheelchairs to quickly pass through the stairs. However, a traditional wheelchair ladder is a simple plate-like structure with one end resting on a high point and the other end supported on the ground. The stability of the wheelchair ladder is guaranteed only by its two ends, resulting in insufficient strength for the wheelchair to pass through the middle of the wheelchair ladder and its inability to withstand excessive pressure. When the wheelchair reaches the middle of the wheelchair ladder, the wheelchair ladder is prone to instability. If the wheelchair ladder shakes during the process of passing, accidents are very likely to occur. In serious cases, the wheelchair ladder may even collapse when it reaches the middle of the wheelchair ladder, posing a serious safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The left folding plate 4 and the right folding plate 5 are both provided with a number of screw seats 18 corresponding to the position of the support frame 10; a limit screw 19 is screwed on the screw seat 18; the screw body of the limit screw 19 is covered with a magnet ring 20, the inner diameter of the magnet ring 20 is larger than the outer diameter of the screw body of the limit screw 19, and the inner diameter of the magnet ring 20 is smaller than the outer diameter of the head of the limit screw 19, and the magnet ring 20 can move along the screw body of the limit screw 19 through its own inner hole; the support frame 10 is made of metal material that can be attracted to the magnet ring 20.

[0029] The adjusting rod 11 is covered with several anti-wear sleeves 21 distributed adjacent to the adjusting nut 14. The inner diameter of the anti-wear sleeve 21 is larger than the diameter of the adjusting rod 11, and the adjusting nut 14 is located below the adjacent anti-wear sleeve 21; the distance between the outer ends of the left and right anti-wear sleeves 21 is smaller than the distance between the outer ends of the left and right adjusting nuts 14.

[0030] The upper surfaces of the left folding plate 4 , the right folding plate 5 and the strap 101 are all provided with a plurality of anti-slip strips 22 evenly distributed laterally.

[0033] The angles formed between the lower surface of the butt plate 101 and the lower surface of the left folding plate 4 located at the front, and between the lower surface of the butt plate 101 and the lower surface of the right folding plate 5 located at the front are both obtuse angles.

[0034] The left edge of the left passage plate 2 and the right edge of the right passage plate 3 both extend upward to form a baffle 25 .

[0035] The method of use of the present invention is as follows:

[0036] When the wheelchair ladder is not in use, the wheelchair ladder can be folded to reduce the space it occupies and facilitate the placement and transportation of the wheelchair ladder. When the wheelchair ladder needs to be folded, the connecting rod 17 can be held with one hand and the support frame 10 with the other hand. The hand holding the connecting rod 17 can drive the limit rod 16 to move, so that the limit rod 16 is swung up with the hinge seat 15 as the center, thereby moving to a position away from the adjusting nut 14, so that the adjusting nut 14 can no longer limit the limit rod 16. At this time, the hand holding the support frame 10 can swing the support frame 10. When the support frame 10 is hinged When the shaft 9 swings as the center, the adjusting rod 11 of the support frame 10 gradually disengages from between the limit rods 16 on the left and right sides. Since the distance between the outer ends of the limit rods 16 on the left and right sides is greater than the distance between the outer ends of the adjusting rods 11 on the left and right sides, the adjusting rod 11 can smoothly disengage from between the limit rods 16 on the left and right sides without contacting the limit rods 16. Then the limit rod 16 can be further rotated to make it fit close to the lower surface of the left folding plate 4 and the lower surface of the right folding plate 5, and the support frame 10 also fits close to the lower surfaces of the left folding plate 4 and the right folding plate 5.

[0037] When the support frame 10 is close to a certain degree, the magnet ring 20 will be attracted to the support frame 10, thereby fixing the support frame 10 on the lower surface of the left folding plate 4 and the lower surface of the right folding plate 5 through the mutual suction. At this time, the support frame 10 presses the connecting rod 17 on the lower surface of the left folding plate 4 and the lower surface of the right folding plate 5, so that the position of the limit rod 16 is limited, and at the same time it has the effect of fixing the limit rod 16, effectively avoiding the situation where the limit rod 16, the support frame 10 and other components are scattered when the left folding plate 4 and the right folding plate 5 are folded, making the folding work difficult.

[0038] Then, the left folding plate 4 and the right folding plate 5 can be folded forward and backward respectively through the front hinge plate 7 and the rear hinge plate 6 hinged to each other, and the right side of the left access plate 2 and the left side of the right access plate 3 are hinged by a number of hinge devices that are evenly distributed laterally. The hinge device is a hinge 23, and the connecting plates 2301 on the left and right sides of the hinge 23 are fixed to the left access plate 2 and the right access plate 3 by screws respectively. The left access plate 2 is composed of a number of left folding plates 4, and the right access plate 3 is composed of a number of right folding plates 5. Therefore, after the left folding plate 4 and the right folding plate 5 complete their respective forward and backward folding, the left folding plate 4 and the right folding plate 5 can be folded with each other through the hinges, further reducing the space occupied by the wheelchair ladder after folding.

[0039] The left and right folding plates 4 can be used to form a left access plate 2 and a right access plate 3, respectively, so that the wheelchair can pass the stairs smoothly.

[0040] When using the support device, the support frame 10 can be swung according to the inclination of the wheelchair ladder after it is placed, so that the lower end of the support frame 10 is pressed against the ground. During the swinging process of the support frame, the limit rod can be rotated according to the final swing angle of the support frame 10, so that the limit rod 16 moves to the top of the appropriate adjustment nut 14. Since the distance between the outer ends of the left and right limit rods 16 is greater than the distance between the outer ends of the left and right adjustment rods 11, the adjustment rod 11 can smoothly enter between the left and right limit rods 16 during the movement of the limit rod 16, and the distance between the outer ends of the left and right limit rods 16 is less than the distance between the outer ends of the left and right adjustment nuts 14. When the limit rod 16 falls freely, it will straighten When the wheelchair ladder is placed in different places, the height of the middle position of the wheelchair ladder is different. Therefore, with the presence of multiple adjusting nuts, no matter how much the support frame 10 swings, the limit rod 16 can be stuck on one of the appropriate adjusting nuts to ensure the stability of the support device when in use.

[0041] From the above, it can be seen that the present invention can fold the wheelchair ladder through the hinge device and the folding device, effectively reducing the space occupied by the wheelchair ladder, facilitating the placement and transportation of the wheelchair ladder, and can support the suspended part of the wheelchair ladder through the supporting device. When the number of support points increases, the strength of the wheelchair ladder can be effectively improved and can withstand greater pressure, thereby ensuring the stability of the wheelchair when passing through the wheelchair ladder, achieving a high stability effect, and effectively avoiding the situation where the wheelchair ladder shakes due to insufficient strength of the wheelchair ladder when the wheelchair passes through the wheelchair ladder, preventing accidents from happening, and effectively ensuring safety.

[0042] The adjusting rod 11 is covered with several anti-wear sleeves distributed adjacent to the adjusting nut 14. The adjusting nut 14 is located below the anti-wear sleeve 21 adjacent to it. The distance between the outer ends of the left and right anti-wear sleeves 21 is smaller than the distance between the outer ends of the left and right adjusting nuts 14. The presence of the anti-wear sleeve 21 can replace the direct contact between the external thread 12 and the limiting rod 16, effectively avoiding the situation where the limiting rod 16 collides with the external thread 12 for a long time and causes wear of the external thread 12. Since the inner diameter of the anti-wear sleeve 21 is larger than the diameter of the adjusting rod 11, when the adjusting nut 14 moves up and down, the anti-wear sleeve 21 will move up and down accordingly, thereby ensuring the anti-wear effect of the anti-wear sleeve 21 to the greatest extent.

[0043] Since the angles formed between the lower surface of the butt board 101 and the lower surface of the left folding board 4 located at the front side, and between the lower surface of the butt board 101 and the lower surface of the right folding board 5 located at the front side are both obtuse angles, it can ensure that the slope of the wheelchair ladder is small and tends to be flat after it is placed through the butt board 101, effectively improving the safety of the wheelchair when passing through the wheelchair ladder.

[0044] The upper surfaces of the left folding plate 4, the right folding plate 5 and the ramp 101 are all provided with a plurality of anti-slip strips 22 evenly distributed laterally. The presence of the anti-slip strips 22 can effectively increase the friction between the wheelchair wheels and the wheelchair ladder, and effectively prevent the wheelchair ladder from passing too fast due to the upper surface being too smooth, causing accidents.

[0045] The lower surface of the buttress 101 is provided with a number of evenly distributed anti-skid teeth 24, which are strip-shaped. The presence of the anti-skid teeth 24 can effectively increase the friction between the buttress 101 and the high step surface, play an anti-skid effect, and further ensure the stability of the wheelchair ladder when placed.

[0046] The left edge of the left passage plate 2 and the right edge of the right passage plate 3 both extend upwards with a baffle 25, which can effectively prevent the wheelchair from driving out of the wheelchair ladder when passing through the wheelchair ladder and causing accidents.
