Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically relates to an adjustable wheelchair. Background Art

[0002] A wheelchair is a tool to assist people with limited mobility. It usually consists of a seat, two large wheels and two small wheels, and is designed to allow users to sit on it and move by pushing the wheels or using an electric motor. Wheelchairs are widely used to help people with limited mobility due to illness, injury or physical disability improve their quality of life.

[0003] For patients with limited mobility such as hemiplegia, before using the toilet or going out, the patient needs to transfer from the bed to the wheelchair. Usually, it is carried by manual lifting or getting out of bed independently. Hemiplegic patients may have impaired motor function on one side of the body, affecting balance and coordination ability, resulting in loss of balance during the transfer and falling. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an adjustable wheelchair that is convenient for patients to transfer from the bed to the wheelchair and reduces the risk of falling.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows.

[0006] An adjustable wheelchair includes two brackets. The top of the two brackets is jointly installed with a top plate. A seat plate is arranged on the upper side of the top plate. An elevating mechanism capable of driving the seat plate to lift and lower is arranged at the bottom of the top plate. A backrest is rotatably installed on the side surface of the seat plate. A plurality of slots are opened on the outer surface of the seat plate. An inner groove is opened inside the backrest. An L-shaped insertion rod is arranged inside the inner groove. The end of the L-shaped insertion rod is adapted to the slot. Two installation grooves are opened on both sides of the upper surface of the seat plate. Armrests are inserted into the two installation grooves. A first fixing bolt for fixing the armrest is installed on the side surface of the seat plate.

[0007] Thus, by using the elevating mechanism to raise the seat plate to the same height as the hospital bed, then flipping the backrest to a horizontal state, and then removing the armrest on the side close to the hospital bed, the wheelchair is unfolded into a flat hospital bed structure. Then, the unfolded wheelchair is attached to the hospital bed, so that it is convenient for the patient to transfer from the hospital bed to the wheelchair, reducing the situation of losing balance and falling during the transfer.

[0008] Furthermore, the elevating mechanism includes a connecting plate installed between the two brackets. A motor is installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate. The end of the output shaft of the motor is connected with a threaded rod. Support columns are installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the seat plate. The ends of the four support columns are jointly installed with an I-shaped plate, and the threaded rod passes through the inside of the I-shaped plate and is threadedly connected with it.

[0009] When starting the motor, its output shaft drives the threaded rod to rotate. Since the four corners of the I-shaped plate are limited by the support columns, the I-shaped plate can be driven to rise and fall when the threaded rod rotates, and through the connection of the support columns, the purpose of driving the seat plate to rise and fall is achieved.

[0010] Furthermore, a sleeve plate is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the backrest. An activity plate is inserted into the sleeve plate. A support plate is installed at the bottom of the activity plate. A plurality of screw holes are formed on the outer surface of the activity plate. A second fixing bolt adapted to the screw holes is installed on the outer surface of the sleeve plate.

[0011] After the backrest is flipped to the horizontal state, the sleeve plate can be rotated to the vertical state, and then the activity plate is pulled out of the sleeve plate to support the support plate on the ground. Then, the second fixing bolt is screwed into the screw hole for fixation, so that the backrest can obtain stable support ability and improve the stability of the wheelchair after unfolding.

[0012] Furthermore, a sliding rod is installed inside the inner groove, and the sliding rod penetrates through the inside of the L-shaped insertion rod. A spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding rod, and both ends of the spring are abutted against the inner wall of the inner groove and the L-shaped insertion rod respectively.

[0013] The spring applies a continuous thrust to the L-shaped insertion rod, so that the L-shaped insertion rod can be stably inserted into the insertion slot to avoid separation and improve safety.

[0014] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is arranged inside the seat plate, and a display screen is arranged on the outer surface of the seat plate. The display screen is electrically connected to the pressure sensor.

[0015] Through the arrangement of the pressure sensor, the patient can be weighed, and the value is displayed on the display screen, avoiding the cumbersome operation and possible harm caused by transferring the patient to a weighing scale for weighing.

[0016] Furthermore, magnet sheets that magnetically adsorb each other are arranged between the outer surfaces of the sleeve plate and the backrest.

[0017] Through the arrangement of the magnet sheets, the sleeve plate can be firmly adsorbed on the outer surface of the backrest and is convenient for separation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
