[0025] Refer to Figure 1 A wheelchair, including wheelchair frame 100 and storage box 200, wherein the rear side of wheelchair frame 100 is connected with two supporting rods 110 in left and right direction, two supporting rods 110 are connected with flexible backrest 120, flexible backrest 120 can select elastic cloth, can provide support and have certain elastic deformation effect, wheelchair frame 100 is a support frame, handrails are connected on both sides of wheelchair frame 100, rear wheels are rotatably connected on both sides of wheelchair frame 100 at rear position, front wheels are rotatably connected on both sides of wheelchair frame 100 at front position, pedal is arranged on the front side of wheelchair frame 100, handle is formed by bending the top end of two supporting rods 110 of wheelchair frame 100 rearward, seat plate for user is also arranged on wheelchair frame 100;Storage box 200 is connected between two supporting rods 110, the front side of storage box 200 is provided with an aperture, adjusting mechanism is arranged in storage box 200, adjusting mechanism has top rod 210 that can approach or away from flexible backrest 120, when top rod 210 approaches flexible backrest 120, top rod 210 can extend from aperture and press on flexible backrest 120, when top rod 210 is away from flexible backrest 120, top rod 210 is received in storage box 200 from aperture.

[0026] As can be seen from the above, two support rods 110 are connected at intervals along the left and right directions on the rear side of the wheelchair frame 100, and the two support rods 110 are used to provide fixed support for the flexible backrest 120. The flexible backrest 120 can provide a certain degree of flexible deformation when under pressure, so as to better fit the user's back and provide good support. A storage box 200 is provided at the rear side of the two support rods 110 and the backrest. The storage box 200 itself can be used to store items, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the backrest support effect is also installed inside the storage box 200. The storage box 200 itself can provide protection for the adjustment mechanism and reduce exposure. When in use, the user can adjust the backrest according to the user's position. The adjustment mechanism is adjusted according to the support requirements of the backrest position, so that the top rod 210 is close to or away from the flexible backrest 120. When the top rod 210 is close to the flexible backrest 120, it can press the flexible backrest 120 forward, thereby strengthening the support for the user's back position. When the top rod 210 is away from the flexible backrest 120, the support for the user's back position can be reduced. In this way, the support force of the flexible backrest 120 on the user's waist position can be adjusted according to the needs of different users, and the storage box 200 can be used to cover and protect the adjustment mechanism to reduce exposure, and it can also be used for storage, enriching the use function of the backrest and improving overall practicality.

[0027] The adjustment mechanism is installed in the storage box 200 to form a push rod 210 that can move closer to or away from the hole. There are many structural forms. For example, an electric screw is directly used as a driving source, and the electric screw drives the push rod 210 to move closer to or away from the flexible backrest 120. When it is necessary to use a manual form to drive the push rod 210 to move, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a worm 220, a worm wheel 230 and a rotating rod 240. The worm 220 is connected to the storage box 200 by rotating along the axis in the front-to-back direction, and the rotating rod 240 is connected to the rear side of the storage box 200 by rotating along the axis in the left-to-right direction. The worm wheel 230 is connected to one end of the rotating rod 240, and the worm wheel 230 and the worm 220 are engaged with each other. A through groove extending in the up-down direction is provided on the rear side of the storage box 200, and the rear end of the top rod 210 passes through the through groove and is connected to the rotating rod 240. When it is necessary to adjust the supporting force of the push rod 210 on the flexible backrest 120, the worm 220 is rotated. Since the worm wheel 230 and the worm 220 are engaged with each other, the worm wheel 230 will rotate together with the worm 220, and drive the push rod 210 to rotate through the rotating rod 240, so that the push rod 210 is rotated to move closer to or away from the flexible backrest 120, thereby changing the supporting force on the flexible backrest 120. The self-locking of the worm wheel 230 and the worm 220 can be used to quickly position the push rod 210 after adjustment, which is convenient to operate.

[0028] The storage box 200 can be a one-piece box structure. When the articles are directly placed in the storage box 200, interference with the transmission structure in the adjusting mechanism is easy to occur. In order to better separate the storage articles and the transmission structure, in the embodiment, the storage box 200 includes a main shell and a side shell. The main shell is connected between the two support rods 110. The front side of the main shell is provided with the hole. The outer side of the main shell is provided with a mounting groove. The side shell is connected to the main shell and covers the mounting groove. The through groove is provided on the rear side of the main shell. The worm 220, the worm gear 230, and the rotating rod 240 are respectively connected in the mounting groove. The space for storing articles is formed in the main shell. The mounting groove for mounting the adjusting mechanism is provided around the outer side of the main shell. The worm 220, the worm gear 230, and the rotating rod 240 are all mounted in the mounting groove. The rotating rod 240 is mounted in the main shell and connected to the rotating rod 240 in the mounting groove through the through groove. In this way, the space in the storage box 200 is divided into a space for storage and a space for mounting the adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism can be better protected, and the transmission stability is improved.

[0029] After a long time of use, the adjusting mechanism needs to be maintained or maintained. In order to facilitate the maintenance of the adjusting mechanism, in the embodiment, the main shell and the side shell are detachably connected. For example, the main shell and the side shell can be connected to each other by buckles or connected to each other by screws. When the adjusting mechanism needs to be maintained or replaced, the side shell can be detached from the main shell, thereby further improving the convenience of operation.

[0030] When the supporting force of the top rod 210 needs to be adjusted, the worm 220 can be directly rotated in the storage box 200. In order to facilitate operation, the worm 220 can protrude from the side shell. When the worm 220 needs to be rotated, force is directly applied to the part of the worm 220 protruding from the side shell. For example, the rear end of the worm 220 is inserted into the side shell. At this time, other personnel need to assist in rotating at the rear side of the wheelchair frame 100. Therefore, in order to further improve the convenience of operation, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 the front end of the worm 220 is inserted into the side shell and connected with a hand wheel 221. Since the front end of the worm 220 is inserted into the side shell, when the top rod 210 needs to be adjusted, the hand wheel 221 on the adjusting worm 220 is directly rotated from the front side of the side shell. In this way, the user sitting on the wheelchair frame 100 can directly adjust the supporting force of the top rod 210. The adjustment is more convenient and fast, and the use experience is improved.

[0031] In some embodiments, the hand wheel 221 is provided with a scale value, and in actual application, the corresponding numerical value of the forward movement amount of the top rod 210 when the hand wheel 221 is rotated is set, and the corresponding numerical value is marked on the hand wheel 221 as a scale value. The scale value on the hand wheel 221 can correspond to the supporting force of the top rod 210 against the flexible backrest 120. In this way, when adjusting the use, the adjustment amount of the top rod 210 can be directly observed, thereby further improving the convenience and efficiency of adjusting the top rod 210.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the front end of the top rod 210 can directly press against the flexible backrest 120 to provide supporting force to the user's waist. In order to increase the contact area of the top rod 210 against the flexible backrest 120 and improve the comfort of the support, in this embodiment, the front end of the top rod 210 is detachably connected with a top block 250. In actual application, the front side of the top block 250 can be designed as a circular arc surface suitable for the shape of the user's back to improve the fit to the waist. The top block 250 can be connected to the front end of the top rod 210 by clamping, screwing or other means to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly. When the top rod 210 presses forward against the flexible backrest 120, the top block 250 contacts the flexible backrest 120 to support the flexible backrest 120. In use, different shapes of top blocks 250 can be replaced according to different use requirements, and the top block 250 can better adapt to the shape of the back of different users, thereby further improving the use comfort.

[0033] The top rod 210 can be a straight rod. In order to improve the change amount of the top rod 210 when pressing against the flexible backrest 120, in this embodiment, the top rod 210 includes a connecting segment and a pressing segment connected to each other. The connecting segment is connected to the rotating rod 240 and extends downward and forward. The pressing segment extends forward, and the top block 250 is connected to the front end of the pressing segment. The connecting segment and the pressing segment form a hook-shaped structure. When the supporting force of the flexible backrest 120 needs to be adjusted, the adjustment of the force exerted by the top block 250 against the flexible backrest 120 can be improved, thereby further improving the use experience.

[0034] In order to improve the storage effect of the storage box 200 on the articles, in the embodiment, the storage box 200 is connected with an elastic layer 260 at the position of the hole, for example, the elastic layer 260 can be made of silica gel or other materials that can produce elastic deformation, the top rod 210 is pressed against the elastic layer 260 and presses the flexible backrest 120 forward. The elastic layer 260 can cover the position of the storage box 200 at the hole, so as to avoid the articles stored in the storage box 200 from falling from the hole position, and the elastic layer 260 itself can be elastically deformed, when the top rod 210 is pressed against the elastic layer 260, the elastic layer 260 can be pressed forward and elastically deformed, and the pressure of the top rod 210 on the elastic layer 260 is transmitted to the flexible backrest 120, so as to provide a forward supporting force for the flexible backrest 120.

[0035] In some embodiments, two of the supporting rods 110 are respectively connected with waist belts 130, and the ends of the two waist belts 130 away from the supporting rods 110 are detachably connected with each other, for example, buckles and clamping grooves are arranged at the ends of the two waist belts 130 respectively, and the two waist belts 130 are connected with each other through the buckles and the clamping grooves. When a user sits on the wheelchair frame 100, the two waist belts 130 are arranged around the outside of the waist of the user, and the two waist belts 130 are connected with each other, so as to facilitate the positioning of the user on the wheelchair frame 100, and the user is not easy to slide off the wheelchair frame 100.

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail above, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or replacements without departing from the spirit of the present application. These equivalent modifications or replacements are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
