A second shock absorber 7 is provided between the rear wheels 5 and the seat frame 1, and the position of the second shock absorber 7 corresponds to the position of the rear wheels 5 one by one. The first shock absorber 6 and the second shock absorber 7 can separately drive the corresponding front wheels 4 or rear wheels 5 for shock absorption.

[0029] The object of the present invention is to provide a multi-wheel independent shock-absorbing wheelchair with a simple structure, in which each wheel is equipped with an independent shock-absorbing system, enabling each wheel to independently perform shock-absorbing adjustment when facing different road conditions, thereby improving driving stability. The wheelchair includes a seat frame 1, a footrest frame 2 and a backrest frame 3 respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the seat frame 1. At the lower end of the seat frame 1, front wheels 4 and rear wheels 5 are provided in pairs. Among them, the front wheels 4 are located on the side close to the footrest frame 2, and the rear wheels 5 are located on the side close to the backrest frame 3. To improve the riding comfort, a first shock-absorbing member 6 is provided between the front wheels 4 and the seat frame 1. The position of the first shock-absorbing member 6 corresponds to the position of the front wheels 4 one by one to ensure the shock-absorbing effect of the front wheels 4. Similarly, a second shock-absorbing member 7 is provided between the rear wheels 5 and the seat frame 1. The position of the second shock-absorbing member 7 corresponds to the position of the rear wheels 5 one by one to ensure the shock-absorbing effect of the rear wheels 5. The first shock-absorbing member 6 and the second shock-absorbing member 7 each have independent working capabilities, and they can respectively drive the corresponding front wheels 4 or rear wheels 5 to perform shock-absorbing operations. Such a design enables the entire seat device to effectively absorb various impact forces from the ground during use, thereby providing a more stable and comfortable riding experience for the user. This independently working shock-absorbing system not only significantly improves the comfort of the seat, but also further enhances the stability and durability of the wheelchair, ensuring that the wheelchair is more reliable during long-term use. Through this design, the wheelchair can better adapt to various different ground conditions, whether it is a flat road surface or a rough ground surface, and can provide a stable riding experience. In addition, the independent shock-absorbing system can also be adjusted individually according to the user's weight and usage habits, further improving the riding comfort and bringing a better riding experience for the user.

[0030] Preferably, connecting frames 8 are provided in pairs on the seat frame 1. The connecting frames 8 are located on both sides of the seat frame 1. An installation member 9 is provided on the connecting frame 8. An installation hole 10 is formed in the installation member 9. A front wheel frame 11 is provided on the front wheel 4. A connecting member 12 is provided on the front wheel frame 11. The upper end of the connecting member 12 passes through the installation hole 10 and can move up and down relative to the installation hole 10. The front wheel frame 11 is connected to the connecting frame 8 through the connecting member 12. The first shock absorber 6 is sleeved on the connecting member 12. The upper end of the first shock absorber 6 abuts against the installation member 9, and the lower end abuts against the front wheel frame 11. When the front wheel 4 moves upward, the front wheel frame 11 moves upward accordingly and squeezes the first shock absorber 6 to contract. When the first shock absorber 6 resets, it drives the front wheel frame 11 to move downward. During driving, when the vehicle encounters a bumpy or uneven road surface, the front wheel 4 will move upward due to the unevenness of the road surface. At this time, the front wheel frame 11 will also move upward accordingly and apply pressure to the first shock absorber 6, causing it to contract. This contraction action can effectively absorb the impact force of the road surface and reduce the vibration transmitted to the vehicle body and the driver, thus significantly improving the driving comfort. After the bump, the first shock absorber 6 will gradually reset and return to its original length. During this reset process, it will drive the front wheel frame 11 to move downward, making the front wheel 4 return to its initial position again. This series of actions ensures the stability and controllability of the front wheel 4 during driving. Through this mechanism, the front wheel 4 can better maintain contact with the road surface, ensuring the driving safety and handling accuracy of the vehicle under various complex road conditions. Therefore, this design not only improves the driving comfort but also ensures the stability and controllability of the front wheel 4, making the driving experience smoother and safer.

When the rear wheel 5 moves upward, the rear wheel frame 14 moves upward accordingly and squeezes the second shock absorber 7, causing it to contract. When the second shock absorber 7 resets, it drives the rear wheel frame 14 to move downward, thereby achieving the shock absorption effect and ensuring the smoothness and comfort during driving. It not only improves the flexibility and shock absorption performance of the seat frame 1, but also ensures the stability and guiding function of the rear wheel frame 14. It makes the driving process more stable and comfortable, and also enhances the overall driving experience. In addition, this design also has good durability and reliability, can adapt to various driving environments and conditions, and provides a safer and more pleasant driving feeling for users.
