After the wheelchair is unfolded, the support device 6 uses the backrest frame 2 as a base frame to support and stabilize the front leg frame 4 forward to prevent the seat 3 and the front leg frame 4 from shaking, and prevent the seat 3 and the front leg frame 4 from shifting left and right, and the unfolded span of the front leg frame 4 is positioned and fixed, so that the vehicle body is more stable and the vehicle body structure is more solid; when the wheelchair is folded, the support device 6 is linked and hinged to be folded; the main technical improvement of this product is that the foldable wheelchair also includes an elastic shock absorbing device 7, a locking device 8, and a positioning frame 9;

[0025] The front bottom of the seat 3 is connected to a locking device 8, which is convenient for people to open the locking device 8 from the front to unlock it, making it convenient for the wheelchair to be folded and used;

[0026] The front bottom of the seat 3 is laterally movably connected with a positioning frame 9, which is convenient for hinged folding and can be folded along with the front leg frame 4 and the elastic shock absorbing device 7; the positioning frame 9 is used to center the elastic shock absorbing device 7 to prevent the elastic shock absorbing device 7 from shaking left and right and shifting, so that the elastic shock absorbing device 7 can only move elastically upward and downward; the positioning frame 9 is made of aluminum and is light in weight;

[0027] The middle part of the front foot frame 4 is movably connected to the bottom of the elastic shock absorbing device 7, and the top of the elastic shock absorbing device 7 is connected and fixed to the positioning frame 9; after the wheelchair is unlocked, during the folding process, the positioning frame 9 movably follows the front foot frame 4 as it flips and folds, and the elastic shock absorbing device 7 changes position with the front foot frame 4;

[0028] The locking device 8 is connected to the positioning frame 9 in a lockable and openable manner; when the seat 3, the front leg frame 4, and the supporting device 6 are linked and unfolded, the locking device 8 is locked and connected to the positioning frame 9, that is, the wheelchair is fixed and cannot be folded after being unfolded, and can be sat on and used normally; when the locking device 8 is opened, the seat 3, the front leg frame 4, and the supporting device 6 can be linked and hinged and folded, that is, the wheelchair can be folded and cannot be sat on and used normally. The locking device 8 cooperates with the positioning frame 9 to facilitate unlocking and locking.

[0029] This product is provided with an elastic shock absorbing device 7 between the front leg frame 4 and the seat 3. When the wheelchair is in the unfolded state and in use, a person sits on the seat 3. When the wheelchair encounters potholes, bumps, or uneven roads during its rolling process, the elastic shock absorbing device 7 provides shock absorption for the seat 3. The elastic shock absorbing device 7 can weaken larger shock waves, greatly reducing the shock waves of the front leg frame 4 that bears gravity, making the patient sit more comfortably and reducing the sense of vibration; it can basically eliminate smaller shock waves, making the patient feel no vibration when sitting on the wheelchair, and the shock absorption effect is good.

After the locking hook 84 is locked and connected to the positioning frame 9, the wheelchair is fixed and cannot be folded after being unfolded; when the locking hook 84 is opened from the positioning frame 9 (i.e., when the locking hook 84 is opened from the positioning cross bar 92, the positioning cross bar 92 is separated from the locking hook 84), the wheelchair can be folded.

[0053] When the wheelchair is unfolded and in place, the positioning cross bar 92 automatically falls into the locking hook 84 and is locked, and the wheelchair is automatically locked, so that the wheelchair is fixed and cannot be folded after being unfolded; when the wheelchair is to be folded, the locking hook 84 is flipped by hand to disengage it from the positioning cross bar 92, and the wheelchair can be folded at this time.

[0054] Another preferred support device technical solution: Figure 18 to Figure 25 As shown: the support device 6 is an integrated support and stabilizing frame 601, which is made of metal; a rear support ear assembly 231 extends from the inner wall of the lower backrest cross bar 23; a front support ear assembly 421 is connected to the inner wall of the middle section of the front cross foot rod 42; the front end of the support and stabilizing frame 601 is movably connected to the front support ear assembly 421 (that is, the front end of the support and stabilizing frame 601 and the front support ear assembly 421 are connected and fixed to prevent falling off together through a screw assembly), and the rear end of the support and stabilizing frame 601 is movably connected to the rear support ear assembly 231 (that is, the rear end of the support and stabilizing frame 601 and the rear support ear assembly 231 are connected and fixed to prevent falling off together through a screw assembly).

[0055] The above structure can also realize the connection and support between the backrest frame 2 and the front leg frame 4, so that the front leg frame 4 can be supported stably after being unfolded.

[0056] Preferably: the tops of the left backrest vertical rod 21 and the right backrest vertical rod 24 are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding left rear cart handle A and right rear cart handle B (that is, the lower section of the left rear cart handle A is inserted into the top rod hole of the left backrest vertical rod 21, and the left rear cart handle A is rotatable; the lower section of the right rear cart handle B is inserted into the top rod hole of the right backrest vertical rod 24, and the right rear cart handle B is rotatable.), the left rear cart handle A and the right rear cart handle B can be rotatably folded to form the same setting, so that the left rear cart handle A and the right rear cart handle B are not protruded backward, and the left rear cart handle A and the right rear cart handle B are arranged horizontally to compress the space, which is convenient for the handles to be folded and packed more tightly; the middle part of the front horizontal foot rod 42 is movably connected to the footrest frame through the screw assembly, and the footrest frame can be flipped and folded upward to compress the packaging volume.

[0057] Preferably: a left armrest C is hinged to the middle and upper section of the left backrest vertical rod 21. After the wheelchair is unfolded, the left armrest C is flipped open for use. When folded, the left armrest C is flipped and folded to compress the packaging volume; a right armrest D is hinged to the middle and upper section of the right backrest vertical rod 24. After the wheelchair is unfolded, the right armrest D is flipped open for use. When folded, the right armrest D is flipped and folded to compress the packaging volume.

[0058] Preferably: the bottom rear wall of the left backrest vertical rod 21 is fixedly connected to a left bottom support rod E connected backwards, and a left bottom caster E1 is installed at the bottom end of the left bottom support rod E; the bottom rear wall of the right backrest vertical rod 24 is fixedly connected to a right bottom support rod F connected backwards, and a right bottom caster F1 is installed at the bottom end of the right bottom support rod F; when a person sits in a wheelchair, if he lies back or leans back, the gravity moves backwards, the center of gravity moves backwards, and the left bottom support rod E and the right bottom support rod F play a role in preventing the wheelchair from tipping over / overturning backwards, and increase the supporting stability of the rear part of the wheelchair; when a person sits in the wheelchair and pushes uphill, the supporting stability of the rear part of the wheelchair is increased to prevent the wheelchair from tipping over / overturning backwards; when the wheelchair is folded, the left bottom caster E1, the right bottom caster F1, and the rear caster assembly 1 form four fulcrums, so that the wheelchair can be placed upright after being folded for easy storage.
