[0034] Embodiment 4: Figure 8 As shown, when the wheelchair goes uphill, the inclination sensor 13 will detect that the front of the seat is higher than the back, and transmit the inclination data to the control center. After data processing, the control center will issue instructions to the left swing arm motor 5 and the right swing arm motor 10, so that the left swing arm 7 and the right swing arm 8 swing backward at an appropriate angle at the same time, so that the rear end of the seat is raised, and the seat is always kept in a horizontal state. The whole process adopts the negative feedback closed-loop control principle, which can ensure that the user always has a good riding experience and prevent the wheelchair and the user from falling backward; when the wheelchair goes downhill, the inclination sensor 13 will detect that the front of the seat is lower than the back, and transmit the inclination data to the control center. After data processing, the control center will issue instructions to the left electric push rod 2 and the right electric push rod, so that the two electric push rods are appropriately extended, so that the front end of the seat is raised, and the seat is always kept in a horizontal state. The whole process adopts the negative feedback closed-loop control principle, so that the user always has a good riding experience and prevents the wheelchair and the user from falling forward.
