Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wheelchairs and relates to a multifunctional electric wheelchair. Background Art

[0002] The elderly have slow and inconvenient leg and foot movements. The elderly and the disabled have an increasingly strong desire for independent living, especially independent travel. Therefore, the social demand for mobility aids is becoming more and more prosperous, and electric wheelchairs meet this demand of the elderly and the disabled.

[0003] Existing electric wheelchairs, for example, a Chinese patent document discloses a solar electric wheelchair [Patent No.: 201320055762.2; Publication No.: CN203042683U], which includes a wheelchair body, hub motors, a steering and speed control device, drive wheels and guide wheels. A storage battery powers the hub motors to drive the drive wheels to rotate. The solar electric wheelchair includes a solar panel, and the solar panel is disposed above the wheelchair body; the solar panel charges the storage battery through a controller to store electrical energy.

[0004] For the electric wheelchair with this structure, the first secondary battery panel group, the solar main battery panel group and the second secondary battery panel group are located at the top of the electric wheelchair, which can absorb solar energy for power generation and also play a role in shading. However, for the electric wheelchair with this structure, the wheelchair body and the footrest are integrally formed, that is, the wheelchair body and the footrest are a whole and fixed, and the position of the footrest is relatively high from the ground. This makes it necessary for the elderly to lift their legs higher when sitting in the wheelchair. Since the elderly themselves have inconvenient legs and feet, they still need to be assisted by others when sitting in this kind of electric wheelchair. At the same time, when the elderly get up from this kind of electric wheelchair, they need to hold the armrests with both hands and use their hands and feet and exert force all over their bodies to get up, or they need to be assisted by others, still requiring the assistance of others and unable to well meet the need for independent travel. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above problems existing in the prior art and propose a multifunctional electric wheelchair, and the technical problem to be solved is how to enable the wheelchair to have a function of assisting in getting up and sitting down, so that the user can get up and sit down with less effort.

[0006] The object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A multifunctional electric wheelchair includes a base with universal wheels, pedals, a seat board, a back board, and two armrests arranged at intervals. It is characterized in that it further includes at least one support rod, a pulling member, and an elastic member. The rear end of the pedal is hinged to the base, and the front end extends outside the base. The two ends of the seat board are respectively hinged to the base and the bottom end of the back board. The two ends of the two armrests are respectively hinged to the base and the bottom end of the back board. The hinge points at the two ends of the two armrests are respectively located above the hinge points at the two ends of the seat board. The bottom end of the support rod is hinged to the base. The two ends of the pulling member are respectively connected to the pedal and the support rod. The pedal can make the top end of the support rod abut against the bottom surface of the seat board through the pulling member. The elastic member is arranged between the base and the seat board, and the two ends of the elastic member respectively act on the base and the seat board. The elastic member can make the seat board always have a tendency to stand up.

[0007] When the electric wheelchair is in the storage state, under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member and in cooperation with the gravity of the pedal itself, the seat board is pulled up through the pulling member. The seat board, the back board, the armrests, and the base are hinged to each other, so that the seat board, the back board, and the armrests can be folded and retracted, and the seat board, the back board, and the armrests are integrally erected on the base. When in use, the user steps on the pedals with both feet, and then the back and buttocks tilt backward and the buttocks sit down. The user's body moves backward as a whole. During this process, the user can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member by using the gravity of his own body, so that the seat board, the back board, and the armrests gradually open. During this process, the seat board pushes the support rod to rotate around the hinge point, and makes the pulling member pull the pedal, so that the pedal tilts up, so that the user sits down and the electric wheelchair opens to reach a force balance. The user is supported by the seat board and the back board to assist the user to sit down slowly. When the user gets up, the user's feet exert force downward and the body tilts forward and the buttocks lift up to get up. During this process, the elastic member pushes the seat board to stand up, and the pedal pulls the seat board to stand up through the pulling member. The standing up of the seat board can abut against and push the user's back and buttocks to assist the user to get up. This electric wheelchair has the function of assisting in getting up and sitting down, making it labor-saving for the user to get up and sit down, and there is no need for others to support, enabling the user to live and travel independently better. There are also limit blocks at the hinge points between the seat board, the back board, the armrests, and the base. When the seat board, the back board, and the armrests are fully opened, the limit blocks play a limiting role, so that the seat board, the back board, the armrests, and the base as a whole form a stable structure for the user to sit on.

[0008] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the pedal includes a connecting rod and a plate body in the shape of a flat plate. The front end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the plate body so that the pedal is in a T shape. The rear end of the connecting rod is hinged to the base. When the seat plate is erected in the vertical direction, the plate body abuts against the ground. When the seat plate is laid flat in the horizontal direction, the plate body leaves the ground and the front end is tilted upward. When the electric wheelchair is in the storage state, the plate body is in contact with the ground, and the user can easily step on the plate body without effort, which is suitable for the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet and does not require the support of others. When the electric wheelchair is in use, the plate body leaves the ground and the front end is tilted upward, so that the user's legs can get sufficient support, which conforms to ergonomics and improves the comfort of the user.

[0009] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the width of the plate body in the left-right direction of the electric wheelchair is the same as the width of the seat plate. This allows the user to place their feet arbitrarily, improving comfort. At the same time, the pedal has sufficient weight, which can better cooperate with the elastic member to realize the rotation of the seat plate and the back plate, and can better assist in getting up, making it easier for the user to get up and sit down.

[0010] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the base includes two spaced support plates that are inclined downward in the front-rear direction of the electric wheelchair. The bottom end of the support rod is embedded in the middle between the two support plates. The bottom end of the support rod is hinged to the two support plates. The top end of the support rod is hinged with a roller, and the roller can abut against the bottom surface of the seat plate. The support plates play a role in support and guidance, enabling the support rod to rotate in a set direction. The setting of the roller makes the contact between the support rod and the seat plate a rolling friction, making the relative movement between the support rod and the seat plate smooth and there is no problem of jamming.

[0011] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the pulling member is a chain and a sprocket. The sprocket is hinged at the front end between the two support plates. One end of the chain is fixedly connected to the pedal, and the other end is fixedly connected to the middle or top end of the support rod. The middle of the chain meshes with the sprocket. Through the cooperation of the chain and the sprocket, the linkage between the support rod and the pedal is realized, and the structure is simple.

[0012] As another case, in the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the pulling member is a pull rope and a pulley. The pulley is hinged at the front end between the two support plates. One end of the pull rope is fixedly connected to the pedal, and the other end is fixedly connected to the middle or top end of the support rod. The middle of the pull rope abuts against the pulley. Through the cooperation of the pull rope and the pulley, the linkage between the support rod and the pedal is realized, and the structure is simple.

[0013] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the seat board includes a cross bar at the front end. The elastic member is a torsion spring, and the number of the torsion springs is two. The two torsion springs are respectively sleeved at both ends of the cross bar. There are two protruding abutting rods on the base. One end of the torsion spring acts on the seat board, and the other end acts on the abutting rod. The individual torsion spring is relatively large and has sufficient and appropriate elastic force to ensure that the seat board can be pushed to rotate while preventing the seat board from rotating too fast.

[0014] As another case, in the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the elastic member is an elastic shrapnel, and the number of the shrapnels is two. There are two protruding abutting rods on the base. One end of the shrapnel acts on the seat board, and the other end acts on the abutting rod.

[0015] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the armrest is in a flat runway shape. The armrest includes a J-shaped support rod and a J-shaped walking stick. The support rod is fixedly connected to both the seat board and the back board. The support rod is located above the walking stick. The arc section of the support rod is located at the rear end of the armrest, and the arc section of the walking stick is located at the front end of the armrest. The walking stick is detachably fixedly connected to the support rod. With this structure, the armrest has two functions. First, when the electric wheelchair is unfolded, the user's hand can be placed on the armrest to play a supporting role. Second, when the electric wheelchair is erected, after the user gets up from the electric wheelchair, the walking stick can be removed so that the user can use it to support the body when walking; this walking stick is integrated into the armrest with a clever combination.

[0016] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the end of the arc section of the support rod has a first clamping joint, and the end of the straight section of the walking stick has a second clamping joint. After the first clamping joint and the second clamping joint are inserted into each other and rotate relatively, the support rod and the walking stick can be axially positioned. A first permanent magnet is fixedly connected to the end of the straight section of the support rod, and a second permanent magnet is fixedly connected to the end of the arc section of the walking stick. After the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet attract each other with opposite polarities, the support rod and the walking stick can be circumferentially positioned. Through the rotation and clamping connection of the first clamping joint and the second clamping joint for axial positioning, and through the attraction of the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet with opposite polarities for circumferential positioning, the walking stick is convenient to disassemble and assemble and convenient to use.

[0017] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the first clamping joint includes a first clamping groove that is recessed and annular in the end face of the arc section of the support rod and a plurality of first clamping pieces that are spaced in the first clamping groove, and there is a gap between the first clamping piece and the groove bottom and groove wall of the first clamping groove; the second clamping joint includes a second clamping groove that is recessed and annular in the end face of the straight section of the crutch and a plurality of second clamping pieces that are equally spaced and are arranged on the groove wall of the second clamping groove, and there is a gap between the second clamping piece and the groove bottom of the second clamping groove, and there is a avoidance space between the inner ends of all the second clamping pieces, and the first clamping piece can be inserted between two adjacent second clamping pieces, and the second clamping piece can be inserted between two adjacent first clamping pieces. The first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are first staggered and plugged, and then rotated to overlap the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece, so as to realize the axial positioning of the support rod and the crutch, and the positioning is convenient.

[0018] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the electric wheelchair also includes a battery compartment located at the rear end of the base for installing batteries. When the seat plate is laid flat in the horizontal direction, the seat plate abuts against the battery compartment. The battery compartment plays a role in supporting the seat plate when the seat plate is laid flat, so that the seat plate will not collapse when sitting, thereby improving the stability of the electric wheelchair and increasing the service life of the electric wheelchair. The battery compartment is used to store batteries to provide electricity. The electric wheelchair is driven by electricity and can move automatically, making it convenient for users to use.

[0019] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, the electric wheelchair also includes a solar panel electrically connected to the battery in the battery compartment, the solar panel is hinged on the top of the back panel, when the seat panel is laid flat in the horizontal direction, the solar panel is located directly above the seat panel and there is a certain angle between the solar panel and the back panel, when the seat panel is erected in the vertical direction, the solar panel can be attached to the back of the back panel. For the user, the solar panel can be unfolded to absorb solar energy to supplement electricity and improve the endurance of the electric wheelchair. At the same time, the solar panel can play a role in sunshade and improve the comfort of the user.

[0020] In the above-mentioned multifunctional electric wheelchair, a waist protector and a neck protector are provided on the front of the back plate. The waist protector can protect the waist of the user, and the neck protector can protect the neck of the user, thereby improving the comfort of the user.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the multifunctional electric wheelchair provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] 1.
