[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an electric wheelchair handle brake, the electric wheelchair handle brake includes: a brake box 1, a handle 2 installed at the bottom of the brake box 1, a connecting block 3 installed on the side wall of the handle 2, and an extension handle 21 installed on the side wall of the connecting block 3;
[0025] A mounting block 9 is fixed to the bottom of the brake box 1. A movable groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the mounting block 9. The movable groove 10 is an arc-shaped groove. A movable locking block 8 is installed inside the movable groove 10. A movable connecting rod 7 is installed at the bottom of the movable locking block 8. The other end of the movable connecting rod 7 is movably installed on one side of the connecting block 3.
[0026] The side wall of the connecting block 3 has a long groove 4, and a fixing rod 5 is fixed through the center of the long groove 4. The handle 2 is located inside the long groove 4. The side wall of the connecting block 3 has a groove 6, and one end of the movable connecting rod 7 is located inside the groove 6. The long groove 4 and the groove 6 are located on opposite surfaces.
[0027] In use, the mounting block 9 is fixed to the brake box 1, and the connecting block 3 moves through the inside of the handle 2 via the fixing rod 5 inside the long groove 4. One end of the movable connecting rod 7 is movably installed inside the groove 6 via the rotating block 11, and the other end of the movable connecting rod 7 moves in the movable groove 10 of the mounting block 9 via the movable locking block 8. The extension handle 21 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting block 3 and is flush with the handle 2, so that when one end of the extension handle 21 moves, it drives the connecting block 3 to move, thereby driving the handle 2 to move. The movable connecting rod 7 moves in the movable groove 10 via the movable locking block 8 to provide connection support for the connecting block 3, thereby facilitating the control of the wheelchair's braking and movement.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to facilitate the movement of the handle 2 and avoid slippage between the extension handle 21 and the handle 2 affecting the braking effect of the brake, a rotating block 11 is installed through the top of the connecting block 3, and the bottom of the rotating block 11 passes through the interior of the movable connecting rod 7 and is fixedly connected to one end of the movable connecting rod 7. The outer surface of the rotating block 11 is equipped with teeth 12, which are located at the top of the connecting block 3. A fixing bolt 13 is fixed at the top of the connecting block 3, and a set of retaining rings 14 are installed around the outer surface of the fixing bolt 13. The retaining rings 14 are movable open semi-circular rings, and the inner side of the retaining rings 14 can mesh with the teeth 12. A spring 15 is connected and installed on the inner side of the retaining rings 14.
[0030] In use, the rotating block 11 facilitates the rotation of the movable connecting rod 7. The teeth 12 at the top of the rotating block 11 mesh with the inside of the retaining ring 14, increasing the contact surface between the retaining ring 14 and the rotating block 11 and increasing the friction. The retaining ring 14, under the constant inward pulling force provided by the spring 15, can tightly mesh with the teeth 12, preventing the rotating block 11 from rotating. This prevents the extension handle 21 and the handle 2 from slipping, enhances the accidental contact of the handle 2, and improves the safety of the wheelchair.
[0031] Example 3
[0032] Based on Embodiment 2, in order to facilitate the opening and closing of the retaining ring 14, a connecting rod 16 is installed on the top of the retaining ring 14. A fixing block 17 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 16. A movable rod 18 is installed through the center of the fixing block 17. A moving groove 19 is opened on the top of the extension handle 21. A threaded rod 20 is installed inside the moving groove 19. The threaded rod 20 passes through the bottom of the movable rod 18.
[0033] In use, the movable rod 18 can move left and right along the outer surface of the threaded rod 20 in the moving groove 19 through the action of the threaded rod 20, thereby driving the fixed block 17 to move left and right. At the same time, the top of the fixed block 17 can pull the opening and closing of the retaining ring 14 through the connecting rod 16. As the fixed block 17 moves away from the rotating block 11, it can drive the retaining ring 14 to open. As the fixed block 17 moves closer to the rotating block 11, it can drive the retaining ring 14 to close under the action of the spring 15.
[0034] In actual use, the mounting block 9 is fixed to the brake box 1. The connecting block 3 passes through the handle 2 via the fixing rod 5 inside the long groove 4. One end of the movable connecting rod 7 is movably installed inside the groove 6 via the rotating block 11. The other end of the movable connecting rod 7 moves within the movable groove 10 of the mounting block 9 via the movable locking block 8. The extension handle 21 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting block 3 and is flush with the handle 2. When one end of the extension handle 21 moves, it drives the connecting block 3 to move, thereby enabling the handle 2 to move. The movable connecting rod 7 moves within the movable groove 10 via the movable locking block 8 to provide connection support for the connecting block 3, thus facilitating the control of the wheelchair's braking and movement. The teeth 12 at the top of the rotating block 11 engage with the inside of the retaining ring 14, increasing the connection between the retaining ring 14 and the rotating block 11. The contact surface can also increase friction. The retaining ring 14, under the constant inward contraction force provided by the spring 15, can tightly engage with the teeth 12. The movable rod 18 can move left and right along the outer surface of the threaded rod 20 in the moving groove 19 through the action of the threaded rod 20, thereby driving the fixed block 17 to move left and right. At the same time, the top of the fixed block 17 can pull the opening and closing of the retaining ring 14 through the connecting rod 16. As the fixed block 17 moves away from the rotating block 11, it can drive the retaining ring 14 to open. As the fixed block 17 moves closer to the rotating block 11, it can drive the retaining ring 14 to close under the action of the spring 15, preventing the rotating block 11 from rotating. This can prevent the extension handle 21 and the handle 2 from slipping, enhance the accidental contact of the handle 2, and improve the safety of the wheelchair.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
