[0025] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0026] (1) This solution sets a connection mechanism, and sets the rotating member at the top of the first mounting plate and the rotating member at the bottom of the second mounting plate to be perpendicular to the rotating axis. When the second mounting plate is pushed forward and backward, the rotating member at the top of the first mounting plate can be rotated to move the second mounting plate forward and backward. When the second mounting plate needs to be pushed sideways, the rotating member at the bottom of the second mounting plate can be rotated to move the second mounting plate sideways. By setting the mounting rod and the movable rod, the distance between the second mounting plate and the first mounting plate can be slightly adjusted, which has a certain effect of adjusting the height, so that the angle of the armrest can be adjusted more comprehensively, and can be better adjusted to a more comfortable angle, and the use effect is better;

[0027] (2) In this scheme, a second electric push rod is provided, and the fourth spring can be compressed by extending the second electric push rod, so that the limit member cannot be retracted into the hole groove, so that the movable rod can be fixed inside the mounting rod, and the first electric push rod can be provided to drive the movable plate to move up and down, so that the anti-skid pad on the top of the movable plate can be driven to move, and the anti-skid pad can move upward to make the first tooth groove on the top of the anti-skid pad fit with the second tooth groove on the side wall of the rotating member, so that the rotating member can be limited and fixed, so that the rotating member cannot rotate. When the angle of the armrest needs to be adjusted, the anti-skid pad is separated from the rotating member by retracting the first electric push rod, so that the rotating member can rotate freely, and the angle of the armrest can be adjusted by pressing the second mounting plate with the arm to drive the second mounting plate to move. After the adjustment is completed, the first electric push rod is extended, so that the anti-skid pad moves upward to make the first tooth groove on the top of the anti-skid pad fit with the second tooth groove on the side wall of the rotating member, so that the rotating member can be limited and fixed;

[0028] (3) This solution provides an auxiliary adjustment mechanism. When the position of the first mounting pad needs to be adjusted, the first mounting pad can be pushed with force to enable the clamping member to be disengaged from the current clamping slot and clamped into the next clamping slot. Thus, the first mounting pad can be more stably fixed on the top of the second mounting plate without affecting the adjustment of the first mounting pad, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the first mounting pad.

[0029] (4) This solution provides a side support mechanism and a slider so that the movable frame can slide on one side of the second mounting plate, so that the movable frame can still correspond to the fixed frame after the second mounting plate is adjusted, thereby avoiding pulling the connecting frame. By rotating the two ends of the connecting frame inside the fixed frame and the movable frame respectively, the second mounting plate can still be located on one side of the mounting plate after adjustment, so that the support pad on one side of the connecting frame can still maintain the supporting effect, thereby better supporting the side. At the same time, the design of the connecting frame can play a certain protective role. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

By setting the slot 3002, the block 3013 can be inserted into the slot 3002 to fix the second mounting pad 301. The slot 3002 and the block 3013 are both triangular, so that the second mounting pad 301 can be fixed without affecting the rotation of the second mounting pad 301, thereby preventing the second mounting pad 301 from rotating at will when no adjustment is needed.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The side support mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 502, a connecting frame 503, a movable frame 504, a slider 505 and a matching piece 506. The fixed frame 502 is fixedly mounted on one side of the first mounting plate 2, the slider 505 is fixedly mounted on one side of the movable frame 504, the matching piece 506 is rotatably connected inside the slider 505, a matching groove 501 is provided on one side of the second mounting plate 201, the slider 505 is slidably connected inside the matching groove 501, the movable frame 504 is slidably connected to one side of the second mounting plate 201 through the slider 505, one end of the connecting frame 503 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 502, and the other end of the connecting frame 503 is rotatably connected inside the movable frame 504, the support pad 50 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting frame 503, and the movable frame 504 can slide on the side of the second mounting plate 201 by setting a slider 505, so that the movable frame 504 can still correspond to the fixed frame 502 after the second mounting plate 201 is adjusted, so as to avoid pulling the connecting frame 503, and the two ends of the connecting frame 503 are rotated respectively inside the fixed frame 502 and the movable frame 504, so that the second mounting plate 201 can still be located on one side of the mounting plate after adjustment, so that the support pad 507 on one side of the connecting frame 503 can still maintain the supporting effect, so as to better support the side, and at the same time, the design of the connecting frame 503 can play a certain protective role.

[0063] The working process and principle of the present invention are as follows: when in use, the mounting seat 1 is fixedly mounted on the wheelchair through the fixing bolts and the mounting hole 102 inside the extension frame 101, and the threaded rod 104 can be controlled to rotate by the servo motor 1031. The threaded rod 104 rotates and fits with the threaded hole 106 to make the first mounting plate 2 move up and down along the side wall of the threaded rod 104, so that the height of the mounting plate can be adjusted, which has the effect of adjusting the height. The height of the armrest is preliminarily adjusted. When the armrest angle needs to be adjusted, the anti-slip pad 403 is disengaged from the rotating member 405 by retracting the first electric push rod 401, so that the rotating member 405 can be rotated at will, and the second mounting plate 201 is pressed by the arm to drive the second mounting plate 201 to move forward, backward or sideways to adjust the armrest. When the second mounting plate 201 is pushed back and forth, the rotating member 405 at the top of the first mounting plate 2 can be rotated to move the second mounting plate 201 forward and backward. When the second mounting plate 201 is pushed sideways, the rotating member 405 at the bottom of the second mounting plate 201 can be rotated to move the second mounting plate 201 sideways. After the adjustment is completed, the first electric push rod 401 extends to move the anti-skid pad 403 upward so that the first tooth groove 404 at the top of the anti-skid pad 403 can fit with the second tooth groove 4051 on the side wall of the rotating member 405, so that the rotating member 405 can be limited and fixed. By setting the mounting rod 406 and the movable rod 407, the distance between the second mounting plate 201 and the first mounting plate 2 can be slightly adjusted, which plays a certain role. The effect of adjusting the height is that when it is necessary to fine-tune the height, the fourth spring 4074 extends when the second electric push rod 4073 retracts, and the second mounting plate 201 can be moved down by pressing the second mounting plate 201 with the arm, and the second mounting plate 201 can be pushed up by the third spring 4063 when the arm is lifted. When the height fine-tuning is completed, the second electric push rod 4073 extends to compress the fourth spring 4074, so that the limit member 4075 cannot be retracted into the hole groove 4072, so that the movable rod 407 can be fixed inside the mounting rod 406. When the position of the first mounting pad 3 needs to be adjusted, the first mounting pad 3 can be pushed hard to make the clamping member 2043 disengage from the current clamping groove 2051 and clamp into the next clamping groove 2051, so as to adjust the position of the first mounting pad 3. Without affecting the adjustment of the first mounting pad 3, the first mounting pad 3 can be more stably fixed on the top of the second mounting plate 201, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the first mounting pad 3. When the angle of the second mounting pad 301 needs to be adjusted, the second mounting pad 301 is rotated to retract the clamping block 3013 into the movable groove 3011. After the adjustment is completed, the clamping block 3013 is pushed into the clamping groove 3002 by the second spring 3012 to prevent the second mounting pad 301 from rotating at will when no adjustment is needed. By setting the slider 505, the movable frame 504 can slide on one side of the second mounting plate 201, so that the movable frame 504 can still correspond to the fixed frame 502 after the second mounting plate 201 is adjusted, thereby avoiding pulling the connecting frame 503.By rotating the two ends of the connecting frame 503 inside the fixed frame 502 and the movable frame 504 respectively, the connecting frame 503 can still be located on one side of the mounting plate after the second mounting plate 201 is adjusted, so that the support pad 507 on one side of the connecting frame 503 can still maintain the supporting effect, so that the side can be better supported. At the same time, the design of the connecting frame 503 can play a certain protective role.
