There are two symmetrically arranged racks 14. The two racks 14 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top surface of the bottom plate 11. The two racks 14 are symmetrically arranged at an oblique angle with the gear 13 as the symmetry point. The two racks 14 are meshed with the same gear 13 for transmission; As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown in the figure, a through hole is opened inside the bottom plate 11. A circular plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the through hole. An electric motor 19 is fixedly arranged above the circular plate. The electric motor 19 is fixedly arranged in the through hole. The output end of the electric motor 19 is connected to the bottom surface of the gear 13. Sliding grooves are respectively opened on both sides of the bottom plate 11. A sliding seat 18 is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The sliding seat 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rack 14; As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown in the figure, the sliding seat 18 is of a Y-shaped structure.

When the switch is started, the motor 19 drives the rotation of the gear 13, and the gear 13 meshes with each rack 14 of the transmission chain. The two racks 14 simultaneously push the sliding seats 18 connected to them, so that the sliding seats 18 slide in the chutes on both sides of the bottom plate 11. The connecting rod 20 in the sliding seat 18 will be pushed. Due to the length limitation, the connecting rod 20 will push the square convex block, and the square convex block will drive the push rod 15 to rotate around the cylinder between the support plate 10 and the bottom plate 11. At this time, due to the rotation of the push rod 15, the sliding column 22 will slide along the shape of the arc-shaped slideway in the arc-shaped slideway of the positioning groove plate 12. At this time, the slider 23 will slide in the sliding opening of the push rod 22 under the drive of the sliding column 22, and then pull the two connected fixed rods 16 towards the direction of the gear 13, thereby unfolding the originally closed baffle 17. At this time, the baffle 17 is parallel to the roller of the manual wheelchair, and the two unfolded baffles 17 can block the user's knees to achieve protection. At this time, the push rod 15 is perpendicular to the roller.
