[0002] Wheelchairs are essential mobility tools for injured, sick, and disabled individuals, facilitating home rehabilitation, transportation, medical visits, and outdoor activities. They not only meet the mobility needs of people with limb disabilities and limited mobility, but more importantly, they facilitate family members' movement and care for patients, enabling patients to exercise and participate in social activities.

[0003] Currently available wheelchairs have poor shock absorption performance. When encountering bumps, they have poor stability and safety performance, and the shock absorption effect is not obvious. They are also prone to deformation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs, aiming to solve the problems of poor shock absorption and inadequate stability in existing wheelchairs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs is provided, comprising a support base, a swing base, and a shock absorber. One end of the shock absorber is rotatably connected to the support base, the other end of the shock absorber is rotatably connected to one end of the swing base, and the other end of the swing base is rotatably connected to the support base.

[0007] Optionally, the lightweight shock-absorbing structure for the wheelchair further includes a connecting shaft and a movable wheel, one end of the connecting shaft being connected to the swing seat, and the other end of the connecting shaft being rotatably connected to the movable wheel.

[0008] Optionally, the lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs also includes bearings, and the movable wheel is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft via the bearings.

[0009] Optionally, the swing seat includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a connecting part. The connecting part is connected to the connecting shaft. One end of the first connecting rod is connected to the connecting part, and the other end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the support seat. One end of the second connecting rod is connected to the connecting part, and the other end of the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the shock absorber.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0024] The following is combined Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes a lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a lightweight shock absorption structure for wheelchairs, including a support base 1, a swing base 2, and a shock absorber 3. One end of the shock absorber 3 is rotatably connected to the support base 1, and the other end of the shock absorber 3 is rotatably connected to one end of the swing base 2. The other end of the swing base 2 is rotatably connected to the support base 1.

[0026] For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, each orientation is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0027] In the lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs provided in this embodiment, the support seat 1 provides support for the entire shock absorption process, the swing seat 2 is mainly used to connect the wheels of the wheelchair, and the shock absorber 3 plays a shock absorption role. When the wheelchair passes over a bumpy road, the wheels can drive the swing seat 2 to move upward, so that the shock absorber 3 is in a compressed state. When the wheelchair moves away from the bumpy road, the shock absorber 3 drives the swing seat 2 to drive the wheels downward. Throughout the entire process, the support seat 1 always remains in a horizontal state, that is, the entire wheelchair always remains in a horizontal state, thereby achieving the shock absorption effect, avoiding the phenomenon of the wheelchair tilting as a whole, and improving stability and safety performance.

[0028] It is understandable that the support seat 1 serves a supporting function. Therefore, in some cases, the support seat 1 can also be understood as the frame 8. The swing seat 2 and the shock absorber 3 can be directly connected to the frame 8 to achieve the same shock absorption effect.

[0029] In some embodiments, the lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs also includes a connecting shaft 4 and a movable wheel 5. One end of the connecting shaft 4 is connected to the swing seat 2, and the other end of the connecting shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the movable wheel 5. Specifically, the movable wheel 5 is used to provide movement, and the connecting shaft 4 plays a connecting and supporting role, enabling the movable wheel 5 to rotate better.

[0030] In some embodiments, the lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs also includes a bearing 6, through which the movable wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 4, making the rotation of the movable wheel 5 smoother.

[0031] Furthermore, the lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs also includes a dust cover 7, a connecting shaft 4 which is a double-ended screw, and the middle part of the connecting shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the moving wheel 5 through a bearing 6. One end of the connecting shaft 4 is threaded to the swing seat 2, and the other end of the connecting shaft 4 is threaded to the dust cover 7. The dust cover 7 is located on the outside of the moving wheel 5 and can prevent dust from entering the connection between the moving wheel 5 and the connecting shaft 4.

[0032] In some embodiments, the swing seat 2 includes a first connecting rod 21, a second connecting rod 22, and a connecting part 23. The connecting part 23 is connected to the connecting shaft 4. One end of the first connecting rod 21 is connected to the connecting part 23, and the other end of the first connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected to the support seat 1. One end of the second connecting rod 22 is connected to the connecting part 23, and the other end of the second connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to the shock absorber 3. When the shock absorber 3 is in a non-compressed state, the first connecting rod 21 is in a horizontal state.

[0033] Specifically, the overall shape of the swing seat 2 is bent. When the shock absorber 3 is in an uncompressed state, the first connecting rod 21 is in a horizontal state, that is, the entire wheelchair is also in a horizontal state, which makes the riding comfort better. The bent design can better resist the impact of bumpy roads and has better structural stability.

[0034] In some embodiments, the swing seat 2 is bent, one end of the second connecting rod 22 is connected to the connecting part 23, and the other end of the second connecting rod 22 is inclined downward and rotatably connected to the shock absorber 3. It can be understood that the swing seat 2 is bent downward as a whole, which can better resist the upward impact force brought by the bumpy road surface and has better structural stability.

[0035] In some embodiments, the support base 1 has a C-shaped structure, which provides better structural stability.

[0036] This utility model also provides a wheelchair, including a frame 8 and the aforementioned lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs. The lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs is connected to the frame 8. It is understood that by adopting the aforementioned lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs, the shock absorption performance is better, the stability is better, the safety performance is better, and it is more convenient to use.

[0037] In some embodiments, the support base 1 of the lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs is installed on the bottom of the frame 8 by bolts and nuts, making both disassembly and installation very convenient.

[0038] In some embodiments, the wheelchair also includes guide wheels 9, which are connected to the frame 8 and serve as guides, making it more convenient to use.

[0039] In some embodiments, the wheelchair also includes a mounting base 10 and a shock absorber 11. The guide wheel 9 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 10, and the mounting base 10 is connected to the frame 8 through the shock absorber 11, which can play a basic shock absorption role.

[0040] In some embodiments, the lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs is located at the rear of the frame 8, and the guide wheel 9 is located at the front of the frame 8. Since the user's overall weight is generally located at the rear of the wheelchair, using a lightweight shock-absorbing structure for wheelchairs at the rear of the frame 8 results in more significant shock absorption and a better riding experience for the user.

[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
