[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a double-pedal electric wheelchair comprises a seat assembly 1, a drive assembly 2, a front wheel assembly 5, a rear wheel assembly 4 and a quick-release buckle 3; the front wheel assembly 5 is detachably connected to the drive assembly 2, and the electric wheelchair is quickly released for the first time, the rear wheel assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the drive assembly 2, the drive assembly 2 is detachably connected to the seat assembly 1, and the electric wheelchair is quickly released for the second time, and the electric wheelchair is split into three parts: the front wheel assembly 5, the rear wheel assembly 4, the drive assembly 2 and the seat assembly 1, so that the electric wheelchair can be carried and transported when going out, providing convenience for the user. It is not only convenient and practical at home, but also does not take up too much space when going out, and is easy to carry; at the same time, the seat assembly 1 can achieve height adjustment through the drive assembly 2, so that the user can easily reach items at high places, etc., providing convenience for the user;

[0026] According to different scenarios, such as when the road conditions are sandy, the omnidirectional wheel set is more practical than the universal wheel set. Therefore, when the front wheel assembly 5 needs to be replaced, the quick-release buckle 3 is rotated to release the fast-release buckle 3 from the snap-on strip 7, and then the universal wheel set is pulled out from the drive assembly 2. When installing, the omnidirectional wheel set is pushed inwardly of the wheelchair, and the snap-on groove 521 is snap-on with the drive assembly 2. During the inward pushing process, the quick-release buckle 3 is automatically snap-on with the snap-on strip 7, and the omnidirectional wheel set can be quickly installed and removed from the pedal assembly. If it is used on a flat cement ground, the omnidirectional wheel quick release can be replaced with the universal wheel set in the same way. The quick-replacement structure of the removal buckle 3 can significantly reduce the time for replacing the front wheel assembly 5. The user can quickly complete the replacement work by himself without relying on professionals or special tools. It has a simple structure, is easy to replace, and is easy to operate. The quick-release front wheel assembly 5 can be replaced under different road conditions, so that the electric wheelchair can be used in multiple scenarios, improves adaptability and convenience, and enables users to quickly adjust the configuration of the wheelchair according to different needs and environments. At the same time, the design of the quick-release buckle 3 also takes into account stability and safety to ensure that it will not loosen or fall off during the disassembly and installation process.

[0027] Furthermore, the electric wheelchair can also replace the front wheel assembly 5 to adapt to people with different needs; the quick-release buckle 3 is J-shaped, and the opening of the J-shaped quick-release buckle 3 is located at the top, and the buckle part wraps the clamping strip 7 from the bottom, conforming to the characteristics of the wheelchair when in use. When a person steps on the foot pedal 51, the foot pedal 51 is subjected to a downward force. At this time, the force is shared by the J-shaped quick-release buckle 3, so that during normal use, the foot pedal 51 will not easily separate from the drive assembly 2, thereby ensuring the safety of the electric wheelchair.

[0028] In summary, the wheelchair can be disassembled into three major parts during transportation, namely, the front wheel assembly 5, the rear wheel plus drive assembly 2, and the seat assembly 1, making it easy to carry and transport when going out; the quick replacement structure of the buckle can significantly reduce the time for replacing the front wheel assembly 5, and the user can quickly complete the replacement work by himself without relying on professionals or special tools.

The foot pedal 51 is horizontally arranged and located between the two universal wheels 53. The foot pedal 51 is rotatably connected to the bracket 52, which increases the range of movement of the wheelchair user's feet and when folded, the foot pedal 51 is retracted to reduce the space occupied by the folded wheelchair. The universal wheel 53 is a single-sided support structure, and the support structure is located on the inner side of the universal wheel 53, that is, the side close to the two universal wheels 53, so that when the wheelchair is moving forward, the side of the universal wheel 53 facing outward has no sharp protrusions, which can well avoid scratching door frames or walls when passing through narrow areas such as room doors, and also reduce the risk of scratching passers-by during driving.

[0030] In one embodiment, the omnidirectional wheel set includes an omnidirectional foot pedal 91, an omnidirectional bracket 92 and two omnidirectional wheels 93; the two omnidirectional wheels 93 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the omnidirectional bracket 92, the omnidirectional foot pedal 91 is connected to the omnidirectional bracket 92, and the omnidirectional foot pedal 91 is located between the two omnidirectional wheels 93. Compared with the universal wheel set, the omnidirectional wheel set is suitable for sandy or uneven terrain, and can run stably on uneven terrain.

[0031] Taking the universal wheel assembly as an example, a locking groove 521 is provided on the side of the bracket 52 away from the foot pedal 51. The locking groove 521 is a semi-open structure, and the opening direction is toward the side away from the foot pedal 51; the locking groove 521 is used to initially lock and position the bracket 52 and the driving assembly 2, and the locking groove 521 is used to realize the positioning and locking of the foot pedal 51, connect the foot pedal 51 to the driving assembly 2, and then lock the locking strip 7 to the quick-release buckle 3, and use the locking groove 521 and the locking strip 7 to realize two simple structures to connect the front wheel assembly 5 and the driving assembly 2, among which the quick release method of the omnidirectional wheel assembly and the quick release method of the universal wheel assembly and the structure involved in the quick release are consistent, and will not be repeated.
