[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0020] Example: Figure 1-3As shown, the utility model provides a wheelchair armrest locking structure, comprising a positioning plate 1 arranged on the side of the backrest, the positioning plate 1 is provided with a horizontally arranged column 2, a positioning seat 3 is fixed at the end of the armrest 6, and the positioning seat 3 is provided with a through hole 4 for the column 2 to pass through, and the column 2 is provided with a limiting cap 5 for the positioning seat, and the bottom of the positioning plate 1 is also provided with a supporting block 7 for supporting the bottom of the armrest 6 in a horizontal state, and the positioning seat 3 rotates along the column 2, and the outer end of the column 2 is provided with a fixing structure 8 for fixing the positioning seat 3. The positioning seat 3 at the end of the armrest 6 can be flipped along the column 2, so that the armrest 6 can be flipped. After flipping, the rotating block can be manually rotated, and the interference block on the rotating block will interfere with the outer wall of the positioning seat, so that the rotated armrest is locked. It has the characteristics of simple structure and easy operation. A supporting block 7 for supporting the bottom of the armrest 6 in a horizontal state is also provided at the bottom of the positioning plate 1, which increases the load-bearing capacity of the armrest and will not flip downward.

[0021] The fixing structure 8 includes a threaded column 10 at the outer end of the limiting cap 5, a rotating block 11 is screwed into the threaded column 10, and the inner end surface of the rotating block 11 is provided with a resistance block 12 for resisting the outer wall of the positioning seat 3, and the outer side of the threaded column 10 is provided with an anti-slip block 13 for preventing the rotating block 11 from falling off;
