The handle includes two shells, and a guiding groove corresponding to the end of the connecting pin is provided inside the shell.
[0008] To guide and limit the movement of the connecting pin, further, two symmetrical sliding grooves are provided at the middle position of the connecting rod.
[0009] To axially limit the handle and guide the rotation of the handle, further, two limiting sleeves corresponding to the ends of the handle are connected to the connecting rod.
[0010] To achieve the limit between the collar and the connecting rod, further, the limiting sleeve includes two identical collars. A limiting protrusion is provided inside the collar. A limiting groove corresponding to the limiting protrusion is provided on the connecting rod.
[0011] In order to achieve axial limit of the handle and guide the rotation of the handle, further, a convex ring is provided at the end of the collar, and a clamping groove corresponding to the convex ring is provided on the housing.
[0012] In order to make the locking pin in the extended state in the natural state, and further, after the handle is released, the locking pin and the handle can be automatically reset. Further, a spring is sleeved on the locking pin, and the spring is located inside the pin sleeve.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:
[0014] By rotating the handle of the present utility model, the connecting pin can be driven to slide in the guiding groove, so that the locking pin is driven to retract into the pin sleeve under the action of the pulling rope, realizing the unlocking during the folding of the wheelchair. Compared with the traditional buckle structure, it has the characteristics of more convenient and labor-saving operation, no risk of pinching hands and good aesthetics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Embodiment 1
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-7 , the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: A folding latch for a wheelchair, including a connecting rod 7. Two slidable connecting pins 6 are provided at the middle position of the connecting rod 7. A pin sleeve 2 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 7. A locking pin 1 slides inside the pin sleeve 2. The locking pin 1 is connected to the connecting pin 6 through a pull rope 4. A handle 8 is provided outside the connecting rod 7. The handle 8 includes two shells 81. The two shells 81 are connected by screws. A guiding groove 82 corresponding to the end of the connecting pin 6 is provided inside the shell 81;
[0026] In the present utility model, the folding latch body 9 is installed on the backrest 10. The locking pin 1 corresponds to the end of the side support frame 12. The pin sleeve 2 and the connecting rod 7 are connected by screws. The folding latch body 9 is installed by clamping the backrest 10 through the cooperation of the pin sleeve 2 and the connecting rod 7.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solutions, the present utility model can drive the connecting pin 6 to slide in the guiding groove 82 by rotating the handle 8, so as to drive the locking pin 1 to retract into the pin sleeve 2 under the action of the pull rope 4, realizing the unlocking during the folding of the wheelchair. Compared with the traditional plate buckle structure, it has the characteristics of more convenient and labor-saving operation, no risk of pinching hands, and good aesthetics.
[0028] Specifically, two symmetrical sliding grooves 71 are provided at the middle position of the connecting rod 7.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solutions, it is used to guide and limit the movement of the connecting pin 6.
[0030] Specifically, two limiting sleeves 5 corresponding to the ends of the handle 8 are connected to the connecting rod 7.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solutions, axial limitation is performed on the handle 8, and guiding is performed on the rotation of the handle 8.
[0032] Specifically, a spring 3 is sleeved on the locking pin 1. The spring 3 is located inside the pin sleeve 2.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solutions, the locking pin 1 is in the extended state in the natural state. In addition, after the handle 8 is released, the locking pin 1 and the handle 8 can be automatically reset.
[0034] Embodiment 2
[0035] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in that: Specifically, the limit sleeve 5 includes two identical ring sleeves 51. A limit protrusion 52 is provided inside the ring sleeve 51, and a limit groove 72 corresponding to the limit protrusion 52 is provided on the connecting rod 7.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit between the ring sleeve 51 and the connecting rod 7 is realized by the limit protrusion 52 being inserted into the limit groove 72.
[0037] Specifically, a convex ring 53 is provided at the end of the ring sleeve 51, and a clamping groove 83 corresponding to the convex ring 53 is provided on the housing 81.
