Detailed implementation manners

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application discloses an intelligent stretcher wheelchair lifting multifunctional device, which includes: A seat board 1, in which two gear rods 21 are rotatably arranged, and both ends of the gear rod 21 protrude from both sides of the seat board 1.

[0022] There are two upper limb frames 31, which are fixedly connected to both ends of a gear rod 21.

[0023] There are two lower limb frames 32, which are fixedly connected to both ends of the other gear rod 21.

[0024] Rollers 33 are installed at one end of the upper limb frame 31 and the lower limb frame 32 away from the seat plate 1; both the upper limb frame 31 and the lower limb frame 32 are arc-shaped, and the outer arc top is provided at one end away from the seat plate 1, and the rollers 33 are installed in the grooves at the outer arc top.

[0025] The control mechanism is used to drive the two gear rods 21 to rotate independently and lock.

[0026] The backrest 41 and the lower limb plate 5 are both hingedly installed on the seat plate 1, and they are arranged opposite to each other. The lower limb plate 5 is placed on the lower limb frame 32, so that the lower limb frame 32 can play a good supporting role for the lower limb plate 5.

[0027] The locking mechanism is arranged on the seat plate 1 and is used to lock the flipping angle of the backrest 41 on the seat plate 1.

[0028] There are two armrests 42, which are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the backrest 41, specifically arranged on both sides of the seat plate 1.

[0029] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes: The inner shaft sleeve 61 is slidably arranged along the axial direction of the gear rod 21 on the side of the seat plate 1. The end of the gear rod 21 installed with the upper limb frame 31 penetrates through the hollow part of the inner shaft sleeve 61. The outer arc side of the inner shaft sleeve 61 is fixedly connected with a tooth protrusion 611. One end of the inner shaft sleeve 61 close to the side of the seat plate 1 is fixedly connected with a special-shaped cylinder inserted into the seat plate 1, which can be a square cylinder or a regular hexagonal cylinder, so that the inner shaft sleeve 61 can slide along the axial direction of the gear rod 21 on the seat plate 1 but will not rotate.

[0030] The outer shaft sleeve 62 is fixedly connected to the end of the backrest 41. The outer shaft sleeve 62 is sleeved outside the inner shaft sleeve 61, and a plurality of tooth grooves 621 adapted to be inserted with the tooth protrusions 611 are arranged on the inner arc side of the outer shaft sleeve 62.

[0031] The resetting member is connected between the inner shaft sleeve 61 and the side wall of the seat plate 1. Specifically, it can be a spring sleeved outside the special-shaped cylinder; and when the inner shaft sleeve 61 moves towards the direction close to the seat plate 1 so that the tooth protrusion 611 is disengaged from the tooth groove 621, the resetting member is in a compressed state.

[0032] Moreover, the upper limb frame 31 is fixedly connected to the outermost end of the corresponding gear rod 21. The backrest 41 and the armrests 42 are located between the upper limb frame 31 and the seat plate 1; when the inner shaft sleeve 61 is disengaged from the outer shaft sleeve 62, the inner shaft sleeve 61 is located between the outer shaft sleeve 62 and the seat plate 1.

[0033] Thus, when the control mechanism drives each of the two gear rods 21 to rotate independently in the coming year, the two upper support frames 31 and the two lower support frames 32 can be flipped on the seat plate 1. When the upper support frame 31 and the lower support frame 32 are both flipped to the same side of the seat plate 1, the rollers 33 on the upper support frame 31 and the lower support frame 32 form a stable triangular support structure with the seat plate 1. Subsequently, the inner shaft sleeve 61 is pushed away from the outer shaft sleeve 62, which can release the engagement between the tooth protrusions 611 on the inner shaft sleeve 61 and the tooth grooves 621 on the outer shaft sleeve 62. At this time, the back plate 41 can be freely rotated on the seat plate 1 to a suitable position; after the external force on the inner shaft sleeve 61 is withdrawn, the inner shaft sleeve 61 is embedded in the outer shaft sleeve 62 under the deformation force of the reset member, and the tooth protrusions 611 on it are engaged with one of the tooth grooves 621, so that the flipping angle of the back plate 41 is locked. So far, the multifunctional device of the present application is in a wheelchair state and can be moved by means of the rollers 33; the included angle between the upper support frame 31 and the lower support frame 32 can also be adjusted by the control mechanism, and the wheelchair height can be adjusted to suit different people with mobility difficulties; the inclination angle of the back plate 41 can also be continuously adjusted to realize the adjustment of the seat and lying postures.

[0034] Moreover, in another application scenario, the flipping angles of the upper support frame 31 and the lower support frame 32 can be adjusted by the control mechanism so that the upper support frame 31, the seat plate 1 and the lower support frame 32 are substantially coplanar. At this time, the multifunctional device of the present application is in a stretcher state, which can facilitate the rapid transfer of people with mobility difficulties.

[0035] In addition, the control mechanism includes: Drive gears 22, there are two of them and they are respectively meshed and connected with the two gear rods 21; Drive motors 23, there are two of them and they respectively drive the two gear rods 21 to rotate. The drive motors 23 are specifically servo motors with braking functions; A cavity is built in the seat plate 1, and the drive gears 22 and the drive motors 23 are both arranged in the cavity.

[0036] Thus, by separately controlling the two drive motors 23 to work, the two gear rods 21 can be driven to rotate, and the adjustment of the wheelchair posture can be carried out more conveniently.

[0037] Moreover, to improve the portability of the multifunctional device of the present application, the upper support frame 31 and the lower support frame 32 can be detachably installed at the ends of the corresponding gear rods 21, for example, fixed by bolting; and the upper support frame 31 and the lower support frame 32 are made of carbon fiber or aluminum-magnesium alloy. The overall structure of the multifunctional device of the present application can be made light, flexible and easy to operate.

[0038] Embodiment 2: The embodiment of the present application discloses an intelligent stretcher wheelchair lifting multifunctional device, which is different from Embodiment 1 in that: A load-bearing rod 7 is provided between the lower limb support 32 and the lower limb plate 5, and between the back plate 41 and the upper limb support 31. Both ends of the load-bearing rod 7 are fixed by bolting to achieve detachable connection. Moreover, the load-bearing rod 7 can be a telescopic rod with a self-locking function. For example, the telescopic rod is composed of an outer rod and an inner rod. A plurality of positioning holes are provided on the inner rod along its length direction. A pin inserted through the outer rod is adapted to be inserted into the positioning holes. By inserting the pin into different positioning holes, the total length of the telescopic rod can be changed and locked.

[0039] Thus, after the load-bearing rod 7 is assembled on the multifunctional device of the present application, the upper limb support 31 and the lower limb support 32 can be adjusted to a state with a smaller included angle, and the lower limb plate 5 and the back plate 41 can be flipped so that the load-bearing rod 7 supports the lower limb plate 5 and the back plate 41 respectively. At this time, the multifunctional device of the present application is in the state of a stretcher bed, and it is also convenient to quickly transfer the disabled person. Moreover, by adjusting the included angle between the upper limb support 31 and the lower limb support 32, the height adjustment of the stretcher bed suitable for different disabled persons can be realized; and by adjusting the inclination angle of the back plate 41, the flat lying angle adjustment of the stretcher bed can be realized.

[0040] Embodiment 3: The embodiment of the present application discloses an intelligent multifunctional device for lifting a stretcher wheelchair, which is different from Embodiment 1 in that: The back plate 41 includes: Two connecting rods 411 are respectively hinged to both sides of the seat plate 1. Specifically, an outer shaft sleeve 62 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 411 close to the seat plate 1.

[0041] Two support plates 412 are provided. One support plate 412 is fixedly connected to the adjacent connecting rod 411, and the other support plate 412 is lapped with the adjacent connecting rod 411.

[0042] A plurality of one-way self-locking hinges 413 are provided and connected between the two support plates 412 for restricting the support plate 412 to only flip away from the lower limb support 32. The two support plates 412 are hinged by the one-way self-locking hinge 413.

[0043] A support rod 414 is fixedly connected to the back of the movably connected support plate 412 and is arranged orthogonally to its flipping direction.

[0044] A power motor 415 is installed on the back of the fixedly connected support plate 412 and is used to drive the support rod 414 to flip.

[0045] Thus, no matter whether the multifunctional device of the present application is in the wheelchair state, the stretcher state or the stretcher bed state, the power motor 415 can be used to drive the support rod 414 to flip, so that the flipped support rod 414 can push the movably connected support plate 412 to flip upward on the fixedly connected support plate 412, and the posture adjustment such as turning over of the disabled person can be realized.

[0046] In order to further ensure the stability when the support plate 412 flips, a reinforcing rod is fixedly connected between one end or both ends of the two connecting rods 411 away from the seat plate 1, and the lower end surfaces of the two support plates 412 are in contact with the upper end surface of the reinforcing rod in the flush state.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
