Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheelchair technology, and in particular to a wheelchair backrest. Background Technology

[0002] Wheelchairs are tools that help the elderly and disabled move and exercise, serving as a means of transportation. The production and manufacturing of wheelchairs has become increasingly mature and modular. The backrest is an important component of a wheelchair, providing back support for the user, facilitating spinal exertion for the disabled and elderly, and achieving the goal of comfortable use. As a modular product, the wheelchair backrest needs to be mass-produced. The backrest angle can be adjusted according to the user's needs to adapt to the human body and provide better support and comfort.

[0003] Traditional wheelchair backrests use a fixed structure, which cannot be adapted to the installation of different manual and electric wheelchairs. In actual work, since disabled people have different heights, weights, and spinal positions, the wheelchair backrests need to be adjusted according to different people. To address this, our company has developed a backrest assembly. Our patented product can be adapted to more than 95% of the wheelchairs currently on the market. It can be adapted to wheelchairs with different back tube diameters, widths, and heights, and has achieved modular production of wheelchair backrests. Utility Model Content

[0004] To be compatible with over 95% of wheelchairs currently on the market, and to accommodate wheelchairs with different back tube diameters, widths, and heights, this utility model provides a wheelchair backrest. This backrest structure can accommodate wheelchair backrest fixing tube diameters of 19 mm, 22 mm, and 25 mm, wheelchair backrest widths of 380 mm to 520 mm, and wheelchair backrest heights of 300 mm to 900 mm.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a wheelchair backrest, comprising four components: a universal headrest, a wheelchair support backrest body, a wheelchair backrest fixing and adjusting adapter, and a wheelchair backrest cushion.

[0006] The versatile headrest has a two-layer structure: an inner rigid frame and an outer PU foam or sponge structure.

[0007] The universal headrest includes a headrest body, with a fixed base at the bottom. The fixed base is fixedly connected to the wheelchair backrest by screws. The upper part of the fixed base is a base support, and the upper part of the base support is connected to a universal adjustment component structure. The universal adjustment component structure includes a fixed crescent plate A and a fixed crescent plate B. Handles are respectively provided on fixed crescent plate A and fixed crescent plate B. Fixed crescent plate A is connected to the support column by fixing screws, and fixed crescent plate B is connected to the fixed seat on the headrest by fixing screws. There are a total of three fixing points. The three fixing points are locked and positioned by locking screws. Loosening the locking screws moves the three joints. The universal structure allows the joints on the headrest to be adjusted to any suitable position in terms of front-back, back-to-back, up-down and down angles.

[0008] The headrest is connected to the fixed crescent plate B via a fixed end. The headrest has an ergonomic and humanized design with a concave center and protrusions on both sides to fix the head in the middle. People of different body types can adjust the joint structure of the universal adjustable headrest to find a suitable headrest position.

[0009] The wheelchair support backrest body includes two vertical adjustment rods. The adjustment rods are connected to the wheelchair backrest panel via wheelchair backrest fixing adjustment adapters. There are four wheelchair backrest fixing adjustment adapters, with two wheelchair backrest fixing adjustment adapters on each adjustment rod. The wheelchair backrest panel is made of aluminum alloy or engineering plastic material, and a strip-shaped hollow limiting groove is provided on the wheelchair backrest panel.

[0010] The hollow limiting slot is the invention feature of this utility model for a wheelchair backrest. The hollow limiting slot has an elliptical structure and adopts two modes: one is a horizontal long row of holes, and the other is a vertical long row of holes. The fixing buckle is set on the adjustment rod. The height of the wheelchair backrest can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the fixing buckle, or the height of the wheelchair backrest can be adjusted by adjusting the wheelchair backrest fixing adjustment adapter.

[0011] The wheelchair backrest is also equipped with headrest adjustment holes. The universal headrest can be fixed by bolts passing through the headrest adjustment holes and the screw holes of the fixing base. The height of the universal headrest can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the universal headrest in the headrest adjustment holes.

[0012] The wheelchair backrest fixing and adjusting adapter includes a fixing buckle and a rotating buckle. The fixing buckle is connected to a fixing frame, which has a T-shaped cross-section. The other end of the fixing frame is fixed to the wheelchair backrest. The fixing buckle is provided with fixing buckle bolt holes. The buckle is connected to a locking fixing panel by bolts, and the locking fixing panel is fixed to the position of the wheelchair backrest.

[0013] A cavity is provided between the fixed buckle and the rotating buckle, and the adjusting rod passes through the cavity. By changing the size of different fixed buckles and rotating buckles, it can accommodate adjusting rods of different diameters. The fixed buckle and rotating buckle adopt a semi-circular structure. A fixed buckle protrusion is provided on the inner cavity of the fixed buckle, and a rotating buckle protrusion is provided on the inner cavity of the rotating buckle. The protrusions increase the friction between the adjusting rod and the fixed buckle and rotating buckle, thereby achieving the purpose of stability.

[0014] The fixing buckle is provided with a fixing buckle groove, and the fixing frame is connected between the fixing buckle groove by bolts. The angle between the fixing frame and the fixing buckle groove can be adjusted. By adjusting the angle, the position of the wheelchair back can be adjusted forward and backward. By adjusting the position of the rotating buckle on the adjusting rod, the forward and backward position and the forward and backward tilt angle of the wheelchair back can be adjusted.

[0015] The wheelchair backrest cushion is made of wear-resistant, high-resilience fabric or PU flame-retardant leather. The wheelchair backrest cushion is fixedly connected to the front of the wheelchair backrest panel, and the interior of the wheelchair backrest cushion has ventilation holes.

[0016] This utility model discloses a wheelchair backrest that uses a wheelchair backrest fixing and adjustment adapter to firmly connect the backrest panel and support frame to the support base plate. This ensures stability even when the user moves or the wheelchair is subjected to external forces, reducing the risk of tipping over. This utility model has a wide range of applications, adapting to wheelchair backrest widths of 380mm-520mm and backrest heights of 300mm-900mm. At the same time, the backrest fixing and adjustment adapter is easy to install and remove, realizing modular production and assembly of wheelchair backrests. Attached Figure Description
