Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wheelchair equipment, in particular to a portable wheelchair with a quick folding function. Background Art

[0002] A wheelchair is a wheeled seat that usually provides mobility support for people with limited mobility. It mainly consists of components such as a seat, a backrest, armrests, wheels, brakes, etc. The design of the wheelchair aims to assist those who are unable to walk independently due to physical disabilities, diseases, injuries, or old age and weakness, enabling them to move indoors and outdoors, participate in various daily activities, and improve their quality of life. Among them, a folding wheelchair is a specially designed wheelchair that can be folded through a specific folding structure when not in use to reduce the occupied space and facilitate storage and carrying. The folding mechanism is a key part of the folding wheelchair, generally using ingenious joint and connector designs. Commonly seen are cross-folding types, with a cross structure similar to scissors, which can greatly reduce the volume of the wheelchair after folding; there are also front-back folding types, which achieve compact storage by folding the seat part and the frame front and back. These folding mechanisms are relatively easy to operate, and some wheelchairs can even be folded or unfolded with one key, facilitating the operation of users or caregivers;

[0003] In the utility model with the application number 202322669493.5, a folding wheelchair is disclosed. Since the support link does not need to be hinged to the front support frame, the length of the front support frame can be further reduced. And when folding, the hinge point between the support link and the seat link moves backward, which can further reduce the length of the entire folding wheelchair after folding. Thus, the occupied space of the folded folding wheelchair is relatively small, improving the user experience;

[0004] However, the above folding wheelchair lacks a self-locking function structure between the seat support and the seat link after unfolding, so that the folding wheelchair still needs manual assistance for fixed connection in ways such as bolt fixation after unfolding, making the folding and unfolding steps relatively cumbersome and inconvenient to use. The frame body of the above folding wheelchair lacks a folding function after folding, so that the wheelchair still needs to occupy a large space after folding, affecting the use experience. Therefore, the present utility model proposes a portable wheelchair with a quick folding function to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Utility Model

Detailed implementation mode

[0022] To deepen the understanding of the present utility model, the following will further elaborate on the present utility model in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] According to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable wheelchair with a quick folding function, including a seat tube 1, a backrest tube 2, a folding self-locking mechanism, a frame folding mechanism, and an armrest folding mechanism. A backrest tube 2 is rotatably fixed on the upper side of one side of the seat tube 1 by a shaft pin. The folding self-locking mechanism includes a folding pull rod 3, a self-locking groove 4, a conduit 5, a first hook hole 6, a frame connecting piece 7, a second hook hole 8, and a tension spring 9. A folding pull rod 3 is rotatably provided at the lower inner side of the backrest tube 2 by a shaft pin. Self-locking grooves 4 are provided in a matching manner above both ends of the folding pull rod 3. Conduits 5 are symmetrically fixed on one side of the seat tube 1. First hook holes 6 are provided in a matching manner below both ends of the folding pull rod 3. A frame connecting piece 7 is rotatably provided at the lower inner side of the lower end of the backrest tube 2 by a shaft pin. A second hook hole 8 is provided above one side of the frame connecting piece 7. A tension spring 9 is hooked between the first hook hole 6 and the second hook hole 8. The self-locking groove 4 corresponds to the position of the conduit 5, and the self-locking groove 4 rotates and is locked by buckling on the outer side of the conduit 5. A frame folding mechanism is rotatably connected to the seat tube 1 and the backrest tube 2, and an armrest folding mechanism is rotatably connected to the backrest tube 2. When the seat tube 1 and the backrest tube 2 rotate relative to each other and unfold, the conduit 5 rotates with the seat tube 1 and is inserted into the self-locking groove 4, so that the angle between the seat tube 1 and the backrest tube 2 is locked. In the locked state, the folding pull rod 3 is pulled downward from one side by the elastic force of the tension spring 9, so that the self-locking groove 4 and the conduit 5 remain in the locked state, preventing mutual folding during the movement of the wheelchair. At the same time, pulling the folding pull rod 3 can achieve quick unlocking, which is convenient for quick folding and storage in different outdoor environments, and solves the problem that the traditional folding wheelchair is fixed by bolts, making the folding and unfolding steps more cumbersome.

[0024] The frame folding mechanism includes a front wheel fixing tube 10, a frame main tube 11 and a battery box fixing tube 12.
