[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use.
[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, this application discloses an embodiment of a multifunctional wheelchair, which includes a wheelchair chassis 13, a seat base 2, and a lever assembly 5. The wheelchair chassis 13 is provided with drive wheel sets and steering wheel sets of different diameters at intervals. A lifting device 6 is provided between the seat base 2 and the wheelchair chassis 13. One end of the lifting device 6 is fixedly connected to the wheelchair chassis 13, and the other end is rotatably connected to the seat base 2. A rotary positioning tooth 12 is fixed on the lifting device 6. The lever assembly 5 is installed on the seat base 2 in a reset and constrained manner. The seat base 2 rotates, and the lever assembly 5 intermittently engages with the rotary positioning tooth 12 to form a structure in which the seat base 2 rotates and then locks.
[0019] When in use, the wheelchair can be switched between locked and rotatable states by using the lever assembly 5, thus switching between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive modes. For example, in front-wheel drive mode, the large-diameter drive wheels are in front, which greatly improves the wheelchair's obstacle-crossing ability, giving it the obstacle-crossing capability of a road-type wheelchair. At the same time, when the large wheels are in front, the turning radius of the wheelchair is also significantly reduced, allowing it to turn and make U-turns even in narrow spaces.
[0020] In some embodiments, a multifunctional wheelchair is specifically designed as follows; As attached Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the wheelchair also includes a backrest component 1 and an electric pedal component 3. One end of the seat base 2 is hinged to the backrest component 1, and the other end is movably connected to the electric pedal component 3. The backrest component 1 is adjusted by a motor drive to adjust the angle between itself and the seat base 2. A first telescopic component 14 is movably connected between the seat base 2 and the wheelchair chassis 13. A second telescopic component 15 is hinged between the electric pedal component 3 and the seat base 2. In this embodiment, a gearbox is installed on the seat base. The output end of the gearbox is connected to the backrest component 1, and the input end is connected to the motor output shaft. The motor drive realizes the angle adjustment of the backrest component. Specific details are mature existing technology and will not be elaborated here. In addition, both the first telescopic component 14 and the second telescopic component 15 use push rod motors. Two push rod motors are used to adjust the setting angle of the electric pedal component 3 and the seat base 2. In a further embodiment, a standing bracket 4 is provided on the seat base 2, providing a mounting surface and improving the stability of the seat base 2 during adjustment. The standing bracket 4 includes a hinged first frame 41 and a second frame 42. The first frame 41 is rotatably connected to the lifting device 6, and the second frame 42 is fixedly connected to the seat base 2. The fixed end of the first telescopic member 14 is hinged to the first frame 41, and the driving end is movably connected between the first and second frames 42. In a specific design, for example, a slide rail assembly is provided on the second frame 42, and the driving end of the first telescopic member 14 connects to the slider in the slide rail assembly. The first telescopic member 14 is activated to adjust the seat base 2.
[0021] When the wheelchair needs to be laid flat, start the motor to adjust the backrest component 1 and seat base 2 to 180 degrees. Start the second telescopic component 15 to drive the electric pedal component 3 to dock with the seat base 2, while also ensuring that the two are set at 180 degrees. Finally, the backrest component 1, seat base 2 and electric pedal component 3 are horizontally docked to complete the flat adjustment. When the wheelchair needs to use the standing function, start the motor to adjust the backrest component 1 and the seat base 2 to about 170 degrees. Adjust the specific angle according to the actual needs. Start the first telescopic component 14 to complete the rotation of the seat base 2. The angle between the first frame 41 and the second frame 42 is about 80 degrees. Adjust the angle according to the actual needs. Finally, start the second telescopic component 15 to complete the docking of the electric pedal component 3 and the seat base 2. The adjusted wheelchair can assist the patient to stand and perform a series of rehabilitation exercises.
[0022] The electric pedal component 3 here has a movable cavity, and a follower rod 31 is hinged to the seat base 2. The follower rod 31 is placed in the movable cavity. The electric pedal component 3 is Z-shaped, and a roller is installed at the end of the electric pedal component 3 away from the seat base 2.
[0023] As attached Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting component uses an electric cylinder. The telescopic rod of the electric cylinder is rotatably connected to the first frame 41. Specifically, the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder passes through the mounting hole of the first frame 41. The first bearing 10 and the second bearing 11 are installed in sequence above and below the mounting hole. The first frame 41 rotates by relying on the two bearings. The end of the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder is fixed with a fixed shaft 9 to restrict the first bearing 10.
[0024] In this embodiment, the lever assembly 5 includes a limiting block 16 and a rod 17. The limiting block 16 is fixedly connected to the rod 17, and the rod 17 is mounted on the seat base 2 by a torsion spring. The limiting block 16 cooperates with the rotating positioning tooth 12 to fix the seat base 2.
[0025] The rotating positioning tooth 12 has two toothed openings arranged radially. In actual manufacturing, multiple toothed openings can be set according to the user. Multiple toothed openings are evenly arranged on the edge of the rotating positioning tooth 12. When in use, the lever 17 is moved to disengage the limiting block 16 from the toothed opening. At this time, the seat base 2 can rotate freely. When the lever 17 is released, the limiting block 16 engages with the toothed opening again under the action of the torsion spring, thereby locking the seat base 2.
[0026] As attached Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the backrest component 1 includes a backrest body 71 and an armrest assembly 7; The armrest assembly 7 includes an armrest body and a ratchet 211. The ratchet 211 is mounted on the backrest body 71. One end of the armrest body is fixed by a slot in the armrest body and a splined shaft 212 at the rotation center of the ratchet 211.
[0027] The length of the handrail body is adjustable; the handrail body includes a connector 213, a first tube 214, and a second tube 215; the connector 213 is fixedly connected to the first tube 214 and the mounting base 210; the first tube 214 is inserted into the cavity of the second tube 215, and a first fastener 29 is installed on the second tube 215. The first fastener 29 is used for tensioning and fixing between the tube walls of the second tube 215 and the first tube 214. The connector 213 and the first tube 214 are locked together using a second fastener 216. In this embodiment, both fasteners are screws, and the second tube 215 and the first tube 214 are in contact through a plastic part.
[0028] During use, the installation angle of the handrail body is adjusted by ratchet 211. The ratchet 211 used here is a 10-level adjustable model. The adjustment is achieved by plugging in two tubes and making telescopic adjustments to complete the adjustment of the length of the handrail body, thereby improving the patient's comfort.
[0029] For specific use, Patients can adjust the angle and length of the handrail according to the usage environment and their own needs; Furthermore, the main feature of this wheelchair's multi-functionality lies in the angle adjustment between the backrest component 1, the seat base 2, and the electric foot pedal component 3, which can achieve a flat reclining structure, realizing the function of a bed, making it convenient for patients to lie down and rest; in actual use, the angle between the backrest component 1, the seat base 2, and the electric foot pedal component 3 can be adaptively adjusted to achieve multiple posture adjustments; When the backrest component 1, seat base 2, and electric pedal component 3 are tilted vertically as a whole, the mechanism that assists the patient in standing can be switched to assist the patient's rehabilitation. Finally, through the intermittent cooperation design of the rotating positioning tooth 12 and the limiting block 16, the seat base 2 is rotated, and the wheelchair can be switched to front-wheel drive mode to facilitate the patient's crossing of obstacles.
