Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of wheelchair armrests, and particularly relates to a wheelchair armrest with a storage function. Background Art

[0002] The armrests of a wheelchair are important components used to help the occupant stabilize the body, get on and off the wheelchair, and provide support. Usually, the armrests of a wheelchair are designed on both sides and can be folded or adjusted in height to meet the needs of different users. The design and quality of the armrests directly affect the comfort and safety of the wheelchair.

[0003] Existing wheelchair armrests often only provide support for the user's arms. When it is necessary to carry items, it is often necessary to use a storage board in cooperation. When using the storage board, it often requires others to install the storage board on the armrest. It is often difficult for the user of the wheelchair to place the storage board on the wheelchair by himself, and it is also difficult to store it when not in use.

[0004] Therefore, aiming at the problem that the above-mentioned wheelchair armrest is difficult to provide a storage platform for the user and the user cannot install and store the storage platform by himself, a wheelchair armrest with a storage function is developed. By adding a flipping and adjusting structure, a groove-type support structure and a card slot limiting structure to the wheelchair armrest, the storage can be arranged in the armrest, and it is convenient for the user to unfold or store it alone, thereby greatly improving the practicability of the wheelchair armrest. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the problems that the wheelchair armrest is difficult to provide a storage platform for the user and is not convenient for storing the storage platform.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a wheelchair armrest with a storage function, including a storage frame, and also including a bearing component, a frame component, a switch component, an adjusting component, and a storage component. The bearing component is an L-shaped support platform. The storage frame is installed between the bearing components and stores the storage component. An arc-shaped bent frame component is also installed at the upper end of the bearing component. A switch component with a soft pad on its surface is hinged and installed on the frame component. An adjusting component for rotating the storage component up and down is arranged on the inner wall of the frame component. A storage component that is snap-fitted to the edge of the frame component is hinged and installed on the adjusting component.

[0007] Preferably, by rotating the adjusting component, taking it out or putting it into the frame component as needed, and then cooperating with rotating the storage component to snap-fittingly install it at the front edge of the frame component, the unfolded storage component can be limited and fixed, so that while providing a storage platform for the user, it is convenient for the user to store the storage platform as needed.
