[0053] As Figures 1-6 shown, a folding wheelchair 1 includes a backrest tube 10, and the end of a seat tube 20 is connected to the backrest tube 10 through a movable connecting member 30.
[0054] A folding mechanism 50 is provided between the seat tube 20 and the main frame diagonal tube 40. By operating the folding mechanism 50, the seat tube 20 drives the front structure to fold towards the direction of the backrest tube 10.
[0055] The present utility model improves the folding method to a form in which the seat tube drives the front structure to fold towards the backrest tube. By forming a folding method through the opening and closing and lowering of the seat tube, the standing folding of the wheelchair is realized. After folding, its height is higher and it is also convenient for opening and closing use.
[0056] And in combination with Figures 1-3 it can be known that the specific implementation structure of the present utility model is as follows:
[0057] The backrest tube 10 is an arc-shaped pipe fitting, and a first main frame diagonal tube 41 and a second main frame diagonal tube (not shown in the figure) are respectively connected to the first end and the second end of the arc-shaped pipe fitting.
[0058] In addition, armrest structures 11 can be provided on both sides of the backrest tube 10 as required.
[0059] A first rear wheel 60 and a first anti-tipping wheel structure 70 are fixed to the lower end of the first main frame diagonal tube 41.
[0060] Correspondingly, a second rear wheel and a second anti-tipping wheel structure (not shown in the figure) are fixed to the lower end of the second main frame diagonal tube. The two are symmetrically arranged structures, which is for the overall balance of the wheelchair.
[0061] The first anti-tipping wheel structure 70 includes a first anti-tipping tube 71 and a first anti-tipping wheel 72 provided at the end of the first anti-tipping tube 71.
[0062] A first rear connecting tube 90 is provided between the first anti-tipping tube 71 and the backrest tube 10. The first rear connecting tube 90 can improve the overall folding stability after folding.
[0063] Correspondingly, the second anti-tipping wheel structure includes a second anti-tipping tube and a second anti-tipping wheel provided at the end of the second anti-tipping tube (not shown in the figure). A second rear connecting tube (not shown in the figure) is provided between the second anti-tipping tube and the backrest tube.
[0064] The upper end of the first main frame diagonal tube 41 is connected to the side of the seat tube 20 and the first front wheel connecting tube 80 through a folding mechanism 50;
[0065] A first front wheel 81 is provided at the end of the first front wheel connecting tube 80; a pedal structure 82 is provided on the first front wheel connecting tube 80.
[0066] Correspondingly, the upper end of the second main frame diagonal tube (not shown in the figure) is connected to the other side of the seat tube (not shown in the figure) and the second front wheel connecting tube (not shown in the figure) through another folding mechanism (not shown in the figure). A pedal structure is provided on the second front wheel connecting tube.
[0067] A second front wheel (not shown in the figure) is provided at the end of the second front wheel connecting tube.
[0068] In order to further improve the stability of the overall structure after folding, the outer diameter of the first rear wheel 60 or the second rear wheel is larger than the outer diameter of the first front wheel 81 or the second front wheel.
[0069] Focusing on combining Figure 2 and 3 It can be seen that the folding mechanism 50 includes a movable pull rod 51. A spring 52 and a first limiting member 53 are provided between the pull rod 51 and the first main frame diagonal tube 41 and another identical folding mechanism (not shown in the figure) and the second main frame diagonal tube (not shown in the figure). A second limiting member 54 is provided between the pull rod 51 and the seat tube 20;
[0070] As specifically shown in the embodiments, a first mounting slot 511 is formed at the upper end of the main structural plate of the pull rod 51; the second limiting member 54 passes through the first mounting slot 511 and is mounted on the seat tube 20 to achieve limiting.
[0071] A spring 52 and a first limiting member 53 are arranged between the pull rod 51 and the first main frame diagonal tube 41 or the second main frame diagonal tube through a fixing plate 55, and a hook-shaped portion 512 is arranged at the end of the main structural plate of the pull rod 51; the first limiting member 53 is arranged on the fixing plate 55, and the movement of the hook-shaped portion 512 is limited by contact with the first limiting member 53. The overall movement of the pull rod 51 is limited by the elastic deformation of the spring 52 to prevent disengagement.
[0072] The components of the folding mechanism 50 can be fixed by fasteners as required. The fasteners are threaded fasteners in the embodiments, but can be other fasteners in actual development.
[0073] Due to the above structure, the working principle of the present utility model is as follows:
[0074] When folding is required, the pull rod 51 is manually lifted upward. At this time, the limit between the hook-shaped portion 512 and the first limiting member 53 is released, so that the seat tube 20 drives the front structure to fold toward the backrest tube 10.
[0075] Since it is a standing folding setting, the center of gravity of the overall wheelchair is relatively high. To prevent the wheelchair from tipping forward, the outer diameter of the first rear wheel 60 or the second rear wheel is larger than the outer diameter of the first front wheel 81 or the second front wheel, so that the center of gravity after overall folding is located on or behind the center line;
[0076] At the same time, the first anti-tipping wheel structure 70 and the second anti-tipping wheel structure are used to strengthen the support at the rear to prevent the wheelchair from tipping backward.
[0077] When opening is required, only the seat tube 20 needs to be manually pressed downward to unfold until the pull rod 51 reaches the limiting positions of the first limiting member 53, the second limiting member 54 and the spring 52.
[0078] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the utility model.
[0079] Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
