[0062] In this embodiment, preferably, the carrying box 16 is equipped with a wheel transmission mechanism, and wheel assemblies are respectively installed at both ends of the wheel transmission mechanism. A gap is left between the carrying box 16 and the wheelchair seat plate 12.
[0063] In this embodiment, preferably, the wheel assembly is divided into two groups, each group includes: a traveling wheel 5 installed on the wheel transmission mechanism and a hand push ring 6 that rotates synchronously with the traveling wheel 5; the traveling wheel 5 is a three-blade wheel, and the side-pull family chair 10 passes through the spoke gap of the traveling wheel 5 when extended, and can be engaged with the traveling wheel 5 for braking and limiting.
[0064] The fifth improvement is that the upper bracket is installed between the carrying box 16 and the wheelchair seat 12, so that a storage layer is formed between the carrying box 16 and the wheelchair seat 12. The storage layer serves as a gap for storage, providing more storage space for the wheelchair with companion function.
[0065] In this embodiment, the carrying case 16 is equipped with a wheel transmission mechanism, with wheel assemblies mounted at each end. The wheel transmission mechanism can be a conventional wheel transmission structure for hand-cranked wheelchairs, or it can adopt the following structure: the wheel transmission mechanism comprises a first speed control unit and a second speed control unit. The first speed control unit corresponds to the left wheel assembly, and the second speed control unit corresponds to the right wheel assembly. Both the first and second speed control units comprise a drive wheel, a transmission shaft, a driven wheel, a spring, a transmission belt, and a chain drive assembly. The drive wheel is mounted on the corresponding drive shaft; the driven wheel is mounted on the transmission shaft, which is supported within the carrying case 16. The drive shaft is mounted on the side wall of the carrying case 16 via bearings and is connected to the running wheel 5. The drive wheel and driven wheel have the same structure, each comprising two tapered single-sided wheels. The two tapered single-sided wheels are spaced apart from each other, and their facing surfaces are both frustoconical. The spacing between the two tapered single-sided wheels is adjustable. One of the tapered single-sided wheels is fixed to the drive shaft or transmission shaft, while the other forms a sliding pair with the drive shaft or transmission shaft. A drive belt connects the drive and driven wheels; for both, the belt rests on the circular surfaces of two tapered, single-sided wheels, enabling infinite speed regulation. The sliding tapered single-sided wheels are located on opposite sides of the drive and driven wheels. Because these sliding tapered single-sided wheels are on opposite sides, the belt automatically aligns when the transmission ratio changes. A spring is mounted on the drive shaft; one end of the spring is fixed to the drive shaft, while the other end rests against the outer surface of the sliding tapered single-sided wheel in the drive wheel. The spring applies a spring force to the sliding tapered single-sided wheel in the drive wheel, causing the two tapered single-sided wheels to decrease in distance. Example 3
[0066] The third embodiment is a further improvement on the first embodiment. The second embodiment is mainly designed with respect to the specific structure of the wheelchair body.
[0067] A clamp is provided on the rear side of the wheelchair backrest 1; an infusion stand is detachably mounted on the clamp. The bottom of the infusion stand has a movable tripod leg frame, which is equipped with universal wheels with brakes for easy movement and fixation. An infusion heating alarm device is installed on the top hook of the infusion stand. The device specifically comprises a gantry hanger; the gantry hanger is a mouth-shaped frame structure, with a hanging ear with a circular through hole at the top of the gantry hanger for connecting to the hook at the top of the infusion stand; the gantry hanger has a gravity detection module located directly below the hanging ear. The gravity detection module is located at the top of the mouth-shaped frame structure and is designed with a hook for hanging an infusion bottle and detecting the remaining liquid in the infusion bottle in real time. A circle of LED display modules is arranged on the sides and top of the gantry hanger. The LED display module displays the remaining infusion amount using an LED color bar. Using the principle of gravity, the LED color bar indicates the infusion progress of the liquid, with the remaining amount displayed in blue and the amount completely filled displayed in red. When the remaining amount falls below 50g, a buzzer sounds and alerts the nurse station. This feature allows patients to easily monitor their infusion progress during nighttime infusions. The bottom of the gantry hanger features a slot for the infusion tube, which is equipped with a PTC heater. This heater maintains the infusion liquid at a constant temperature of approximately 37°C, alleviating patient discomfort and other symptoms.
[0068] The gravity detection module, LED display module, buzzer, PTC heater, and communication module are integrated on a PCB. Details are as follows: In this embodiment, the gravity detection module (automatic infusion alarm + LED color bar display) uses a high-precision strain-gauge gravity sensor (range 0-2kg, accuracy ±0.1g), mounted on a hook at the bottom of the device, to directly measure the total weight of the infusion bottle and liquid. The sensor output is connected to a 24-bit ADC chip (such as the HX711) to convert the analog signal into a digital signal with a resolution of 0.0001g, meeting the 50g threshold detection requirement.
[0069] In this embodiment, the LED color bar display logic consists of 10 RGB LEDs arranged on the front of the device, using PWM dimming to achieve color gradients. The color mapping rules are: remaining weight ≥ 50g: blue (RGB: 0, 0, 255); remaining weight < 50g: red (RGB: 255, 0, 0); transition range (e.g., 50-100g): purple (RGB: 128, 0, 255). RGB values are calculated using linear interpolation. The driver circuit utilizes a WS2812B LED driver chip, supporting cascade control and reducing I / O port usage.
[0070] In this embodiment, the buzzer alarm trigger mechanism is: when the ADC detects that the weight is less than 50g, the MCU (such as STM32F103) controls the red LED to flash (frequency 2Hz) through the GPIO port, and at the same time triggers the communication module to send an alarm signal.
[0071] In this embodiment, the heating structure of the heating control module (PTC constant temperature heating) is as follows: a PTC heating plate (rated power 10W, constant temperature 37°C ± 1°C) is embedded in the inner wall of a silicone card slot, the size of which is adapted to a standard infusion tube (outer diameter 4mm). Thermal grease is laid between the heating plate and the infusion tube to reduce thermal resistance and improve efficiency. Temperature control circuit: An NTC thermistor (10kΩ @ 25°C) is attached to the surface of the heating plate to monitor the temperature in real time. PID control algorithm: The MCU dynamically adjusts the PTC heating power (controlled by PWM duty cycle) based on the NTC feedback value to achieve rapid temperature rise and steady-state maintenance. Overtemperature protection: When the temperature exceeds 40°C, the heating power is automatically cut off. No-load detection: If there is no infusion tube in the card slot, the heating plate will not start.
[0072] In this embodiment, the communication module (nurse station alarm) uses a wireless solution: a LoRa wireless module (such as the SX1278) with a transmission range of up to 1 km (enough for hospital ward coverage) and low power consumption (standby current < 2 μA). The data format is a JSON package containing the device ID, remaining weight, and alarm status.
