DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solutions of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0035] Currently, medical transfer beds or wheelchairs used for medical assistance require the combined efforts of medical staff to propel them forward. Over uneven terrain or uphill sections, pushing the bed or wheelchair forward can be extremely challenging, sometimes requiring additional assistance. This invention addresses these challenges by providing a power-assisted wheel device that effectively addresses these common issues with conventional beds or wheelchairs.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a power-assisted wheel device of the present invention includes: a support frame 10, a power assembly 20 and a roller assembly 30.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a support plate 11 is provided on the support frame 10, and mounting plates 12 are provided on both sides of the support plate 11. The mounting plates 12 can be integrally formed with the support plate 11, can be connected to the support plate 11 by welding, or can be installed on the support plate 11 by means of a connector. The support frame 10 is fixed to the bed or wheelchair via the mounting plates 12. Preferably, a waist-shaped hole 13 is provided in the middle of the support plate 11. On the one hand, the waist-shaped hole 13 reduces the weight of the support plate 11, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the entire power wheel device. On the other hand, the provision of the waist-shaped hole 13 can also reduce the contact area between the power assembly 20 and the support frame 10, thereby reducing the friction when the power assembly 20 and the support frame 10 slide against each other, thereby increasing the smoothness of the sliding of the power assembly 20. The waist-shaped hole 13 can be one or more. The number and size of the waist-shaped holes 13 can be determined according to the size of the support plate 11. The more waist-shaped holes 13 there are, the better, without destroying the overall strength of the support plate 11. The support frame 10 is further provided with a pressing plate 15 . Sliding grooves 14 are formed between the support frame 10 and the pressing plates 15 on both sides. The power assembly 20 is slidably installed in the sliding grooves 14 .

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the power assembly 20 is slidably mounted on the support frame 10 , and the power assembly 20 includes: a motor 21 , an upper fixing block 22 , a lower fixing block 23 and a slide plate 24 .

[0039] The slide plate 24 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 14. Preferably, a first inclined surface 241 is provided on both sides of the slide plate 24, and a second inclined surface 151 is provided on the side where the pressure plate 15 abuts against the slide plate 24. The first inclined surface 241 and the second inclined surface 121 abut against each other. When the slide plate 24 moves up and down relative to the support plate 11, it can limit the normal movement of the slide plate 24 toward the support plate 11, thereby reducing the vibration of the power-assisted wheel device of the present invention during operation. Preferably, the cross-sections of the slide plate 24 and the pressure plate 15 are both trapezoidal. An adjustment bar 25 is provided on one side of the power assembly 20. The adjustment bar 25 is used to adjust the installation position of the pressure plate 15 on the support plate 11 in the horizontal direction. It can change the size of the sliding groove 14 in the horizontal direction, thereby adjusting the gap between the slide plate 24 and the sliding groove 14, and ultimately achieving the purpose of preventing the slide plate 24 from being stuck in the sliding groove. The lower fixed block 23 is installed on the slide plate 24, the lower end of the motor 21 is installed on the lower fixed block 24, the upper end of the motor 21 is installed on the upper fixed block 22, and the upper fixed block 22 is installed on the support plate 11. In this way, when the motor 21 performs a telescopic movement, it can drive the slide plate 24 to move up and down relative to the support plate 11.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the roller assembly 30 is mounted on the power assembly 20. The roller assembly 30 is provided with a support block 31. One side of the support block 31 is fixed to the slide 24. When the slide 24 moves up and down relative to the support plate 11 under the drive of the motor 21, the support block 31 can drive the entire roller assembly 30 to move up and down relative to the support plate 11. The upper portion of the support block 31 is provided with a gas spring 32, and the lower portion of the support block 31 is provided with a connecting block 33. The other end of the gas spring 32 connected to the support block 31 is mounted on the connecting block 33. The function of the gas spring 32 is to cushion the up and down vibration of the bed or wheelchair when it is pushed on an uneven road surface, thereby increasing the stability and comfort of the bed or wheelchair during travel. The lower portion of the connecting block 33 is provided with a roller 34, which can drive the entire power-assisted wheel assembly.

[0041] When using a hospital bed equipped with the power-assisted wheel device of the present invention, the motor 21 drives the power assembly 20 to move downward relative to the support plate 11 to lower the roller 34. At this time, with the help of the roller 34, medical staff can easily push the bed. When encountering uneven roads, the gas spring 32 can play a good buffering role. When the bed does not need to be pushed, the motor 21 drives the power assembly 20 upward relative to the support plate 11. At this time, the roller 34 is lifted and stored at the lower end of the bed.

[0042] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or replace them with similar methods without departing from the scope defined by the spirit of the present invention.
