Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wheelchairs, in particular to a wheelchair that can stand stably on an escalator. Background Art
[0002] A wheelchair is an important rehabilitation tool. It is not only a means of transportation for the physically disabled and people with limited mobility, but more importantly, it enables them to exercise their bodies and participate in social activities with the help of a wheelchair. An ordinary wheelchair generally consists of a wheelchair frame, wheels, a braking device, and a seat back.
[0003] An escalator is generally inclined. When a pedestrian stands on the automatically moving steps at one end of the escalator, they will be automatically taken to the other end of the escalator, and the steps will remain horizontal all the way. Handrails that move synchronously with the steps are provided on both sides of the escalator for users to hold.
[0004] Currently, when a wheelchair is on an escalator, due to the inclination of the escalator, the wheelchair is also in an inclined state on the escalator. To ensure the stability of the wheelchair, it is necessary for personnel to assist in holding the wheelchair to support it and prevent the wheelchair from tipping backward. Undoubtedly, this will increase the labor intensity of the auxiliary personnel. Content of the Utility Model

[0027] The present utility model provides a wheelchair that can stand stably on an escalator, which can enable the wheelchair to stand stably on the escalator independently and reduce the labor intensity of the auxiliary personnel.
[0028] Figures 1-4 The schematic structural view of a wheelchair that can stand stably on an escalator according to the present utility model is shown. Please refer to Figures 1-4 , A wheelchair that can stand stably on an escalator in this embodiment, its main part includes a wheelchair body 100 and a stable support assembly 200.
[0029] The back of the wheelchair body 100 has a horizontally arranged hinge frame 110 and an armrest rod 120;
[0030] The stable support assembly 200 is correspondingly arranged on both sides of the articulated frame 110. One end thereof is hinged to the end of the articulated frame 110, and the other end is hinged to the handrail 120. In this embodiment, the stable support assembly 200 includes a support column 210 with one end hinged to the end of the articulated frame 110, a first connecting rod 220 hinged to the side of the support column 210, and a second connecting rod 230 with one end hinged to the first connecting rod 220 and the other end hinged to the lower side wall of the handrail 120. Preferably, first hinge ears 110a are provided on both sides of the articulated frame 110, and a second hinge ear 210c is provided at the top of the support column 210. The first hinge ear 110a and the second hinge ear 210c are coaxially connected by a shaft pin. The side wall of the support column 210 has a third hinge ear 210a connected to the first connecting rod 220 by a shaft pin.
[0031] Combined with Figures 1-4 , a wheelchair that can stand stably on an escalator in this embodiment, when in use, the stable support assembly 200 is opened. As shown in Figure 1 , at this time, the first connecting rod 220 and the second connecting rod 230 are in the maximum tensile state. The combined rods of the support column 210, the first connecting rod 220 and the second connecting rod 230 and the handrail 120 form a stable triangular structure. When the wheelchair body 100 gets on the escalator, the support column 210 supports on the steps of the escalator behind the wheelchair body 100, thereby supporting the whole wheelchair body 100. After use, the stable support assembly 200 is contracted. As shown in Figure 2 , it will not occupy space.
[0032] Preferably, in order to adapt to the step heights of escalators of different specifications or models, a threaded hole 210b is provided at the bottom of the support column 210. The stable support assembly 200 further includes an adjusting foot pad 240. The adjusting foot pad 240 includes a threaded column 240a and a support pad 240b vertically provided at the bottom of the threaded column 240a. The threaded column 240a is screwed into the threaded hole 210b and can axially move relative to the threaded hole 210b. The support height of the support column 210 can be finely adjusted by screwing the adjusting foot pad 240. Among them, in this embodiment, the bottom of the support pad 240b is arc-shaped or semi-circular.
[0033] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various improvements can be made to it and its components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention.
