[0046] The present invention will now be further described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams that only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.
[0047] In order to clearly show the structure of the present invention, the cushions on the seat 1 and the backrest 2 are omitted in the attached drawings.
[0048] Embodiment 1, attached Figures 1 to 8 The utility model is a structure in which the folding process is completed by an electric device. A folding wheelchair comprises a mobile chassis, a seat 1 and a seat back 2. The mobile chassis comprises a bottom frame 3 and wheels mounted on the bottom frame 3. The seat 1 is supported by a folding bracket 4 and is arranged on the bottom frame 3. The seat back 2 is hinged on the seat 1. The folding wheelchair also has a folding device 5 for driving the seat back 2 to swing forward and fold toward the seat 1. The folding device 5 is linked with the folding bracket 4. The folding bracket 4 comprises a front upper support rod 4-1, a front lower support rod 4-2, and a rear oblique support rod 4-3. Rod 4-3 and cross bar 4-5, the upper end of the front upper support rod 4-1 is hinged on the back of the seat 1, the lower end of the front lower support rod 4-2 is hinged on the bottom frame 3, the upper end of the rear oblique support rod 4-3 is hinged on the back of the seat 1, the lower end of the rear oblique support rod 4-3 is hinged on the bottom frame 3, the rear oblique support rod 4-3 is an upper end forward tilting bracket, the lower end of the front upper support rod 4-1 and the upper end of the front lower support rod 4-2 are hinged at the first hinge point 4-4, the front end of the cross bar 4-5 is hinged on the front upper support rod 4-1, and the rear end is hinged on the rear oblique support rod 4-3.
[0049] There are two sets of folding brackets 4, which are arranged at intervals on the left and right. The first hinge points 4-4 of the two sets of folding brackets 4 are connected by a folding shaft 6, and the folding shaft 6 also serves as the hinge axis of the first hinge points 4-4 of the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2;
[0050] The folding wheelchair has an electric device for driving the folding shaft 6 to move forward and backward. When the electric device drives the folding shaft 6 to be positioned in the front, the folding bracket 4 is propped up. When the electric device drives the folding shaft 6 to be positioned in the rear, the folding bracket 4 is folded.
[0051] The folding device 5 and the structure in which the folding device 5 is linked with the folding bracket 4 are that the folding device 5 includes a push-back rod 5-1, the front end of which is hinged on the cross bar 4-5, and the rear end is hinged on the chair back 2, and the hinge point between the chair back 2 and the push-back rod 5-1 is lower than the hinge point between the chair back 2 and the seat 1, that is, there are two high and low hinge points on the chair back 2.
[0052] There are two sets of folding brackets 4, and correspondingly, there are also two sets of folding devices 5, which are arranged at intervals on the left and right.
[0053] The electric device is an electric push rod 7, and the movable end and fixed end of the electric push rod 7 are respectively arranged on the folding shaft 6 and the bottom frame 3. Because the folding device 5 is linked with the folding bracket 4, when the electric push rod 7 drives the folding bracket 4 to open or fold, the folding device 5 is also linked to open or fold, thereby driving the chair back 2 to open or fold.
[0054] The front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 are U-shaped brackets with a U-shaped cross section opening forward. The U-shaped bracket is composed of a groove bottom plate and side plates on both sides of the groove bottom plate. This U-shaped structure can improve strength and reduce component weight.
[0055] An opening angle limiting structure is provided between the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2, which is used for limiting the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 which are in a straight line when the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 are opened to 180 degrees; the lower end of the front upper support rod 4-1 and the upper end of the front lower support rod 4-2 are hinged together through an opening facing forward in an inside-outside nested manner through a hinge axis; the specific structure of the opening angle limiting structure between the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 is: a limiting block extending from the groove bottom plate and a limiting groove on the groove bottom plate, the limiting block and the limiting groove are respectively located on the groove bottom plate where the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 overlap front and back at the first hinge point 4-4, the limiting block is embedded in the limiting groove, and the opening angle of the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 is limited.
[0056] There is also an assisting tension spring 8 between the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2. The assisting tension spring 8 is located in a U-shaped groove intersecting the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2, and its upper end is fixed on the front upper support rod 4-1, and its lower end is fixed on the front lower support rod 4-2. The assisting tension spring 8 is located between the bottom of the U-shaped groove and the folding axis 6. When the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 are transformed from a folded state to an open state, the assisting tension spring 8 contracts, and assists the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 to open through tension.
[0057] The electric folding and opening process of the folding wheelchair of this embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0058] The folding and opening are completed by the electric push rod 7. When the electric push rod 7 is pushed out, the folding bracket 4 and the folding device 5 are activated, the seat 1 rises, and the backrest 2 opens. When the electric push rod 7 is retracted, the seat 1 falls, and the backrest 2 is folded.
[0059] When the folding bracket 4 is opened, the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 are opened to 180 degrees, and the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 are in a straight line, and the load-bearing force of the seat 1 can be borne by the folding bracket 4, and the electric push rod 7 only plays an auxiliary role in the load-bearing force of the folding bracket 4, so the seat 1 has a large load-bearing capacity. However, in the prior art described in the background technology, the load-bearing force of the seat 1 is borne by the electric push rod 7, and the safety of the wheelchair completely depends on the self-locking function of the electric push rod 7, which is very risky.
[0060] Embodiment 2, as Figures 9 to 13 As shown, a folding wheelchair is folded manually.
[0061] The structure of the folding wheelchair of the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the electric push rod is removed, but a locking device 11 is additionally provided.
[0062] The locking device 11 includes a lock seat 11-1, a torsion spring 11-2, a lock hook 11-3 and a lock rod 11-4. The lock seat 11-1 is fixed on the back of the chair back, and the lock rod 11-4 is horizontally fixed on the push-back rod 5-1. The upper end of the lock hook 11-3 is hinged on the lock seat 11-1, and the lower end of the lock hook 11-3 has a working part extending forward and hooked on the lock rod 11-4 and a handle part extending backward. One end of the torsion spring 11-2 abuts on the lock seat 11-1 and the other end abuts on the lock hook 11-3, tending to make the lower end of the lock hook 11-3 swing forward and hook the lock rod 11-4. The external force acting on the handle part overcomes the torsion of the torsion spring 11-2 and can make the working part disengage from the lock rod 11-4 to the released state of the locking device. When the locking device is released, the folding device 5 and the folding bracket 4 can be folded.
[0063] The locking rod 11 - 4 is specifically installed on the locking rod seat, and is fixed to the push-back rods 5 - 1 on both sides through the seat rod of the locking rod seat.
[0064] Of course, the locking device 11 can be replaced by a locking device 11 of other structures of a manually foldable wheelchair in the prior art.
[0065] The manual folding and opening process of the folding wheelchair of this embodiment 2 is as follows:
[0066] When folding, first release the locking device 11, manually push the folding shaft 6 backward, and the folding bracket 4 overcomes the tension of the auxiliary tension spring to start folding, and then press the seat 1 or the backrest 2 to make the folding bracket 4 and the folding device 5 continue to fold, and finally complete the folding of the folding wheelchair.
[0067] When opening, just hold the seat 1 with both hands and lift it up hard, the auxiliary tension spring 8 between the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 will shrink, and the upper front support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 will be fully straightened through the tension force, the folding bracket 4 will be fully opened, the seat 1 will rise, and the folding device 5 linked with the folding bracket 4 will also be fully opened, thereby completing the rotation and opening of the chair back 2.
[0068] In the embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, it is not excluded that there is only one set of the folding bracket 4 and the folding device 5;
[0069] In the embodiment 1 of the present invention, the folding wheelchair is driven to prop up and fold by the electric push rod 7, and it is not excluded that the booster spring 8 is omitted;
[0070] In the embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, it is not excluded that an opening angle limiting structure is provided between the front upper support rod 4-1 and the seat and / or between the front lower support rod 4-2 and the movable chassis, so as to limit the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 which are in a straight line when the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 are opened to 180 degrees;
[0071] In embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, it is not excluded that the opening angle limiting structure limits the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 when they are opened to over 180 degrees, and the opening angle of the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 is greater than 180 degrees and less than 190 degrees. After the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 are opened to over 180 degrees, the front upper support rod 4-1 and the front lower support rod 4-2 are limited.
[0072] In the embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, it is not excluded that the seat back 2 is not folded, but is directly fixed to the seat 1, and accordingly, the folding device 5 is no longer needed.
[0073] With the above-mentioned ideal embodiment of the utility model as inspiration, through the above-mentioned description content, relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the utility model. The technical scope of the utility model is not limited to the contents in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
