TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wheelchair, specifically relates to a wheelchair convenient to care. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present on the market, the design of electric wheelchair mainly focuses on enabling the old or the patient to use independently, assisting the movement of the user through the electric drive system, thereby improving their self-care ability. However, this design often ignores the needs of the caregiver in the care process. In practical application, when assisting the old or the patient, the caregiver usually needs to push the electric wheelchair like using the traditional manual wheelchair, which not only cannot fully utilize the electric drive advantage of the electric wheelchair, but also increases the physical burden of the caregiver.
[0003] In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the electric wheelchair, the existing electric wheelchair adopts the design of four-wheel landing. Although this design improves the stability of the wheelchair to a certain extent, it is very inconvenient when the caregiver pushes the wheelchair to turn. The structure of four-wheel landing limits the turning flexibility of the wheelchair, making it difficult for the caregiver to operate in a narrow space or when the direction needs to be quickly adjusted.

A seat cushion is assembled on the auxiliary arm. The tangent line tangent to the bottom of the auxiliary wheel and the bottom of the main wheel and the tangent line tangent to the bottom of the main wheel and the bottom of the foot pedal wheel have an included angle a greater than 165° and less than 180°. When the old or the patient uses the wheelchair alone, the auxiliary wheel can be suspended, so that the main wheel and the foot pedal wheel bear the ground support and keep the stability of the wheelchair. When the caregiver assists in controlling the wheelchair, the foot pedal wheel is suspended, the main wheel and the auxiliary wheel are landed, which avoids the influence of the foot pedal wheel on the operation of the caregiver, improves the accuracy and safety of the control of the wheelchair by the caregiver, and also ensures the comfort and safety of the occupant.
[0006] As a preferred technical scheme of the wheelchair convenient to care described in the present application, the auxiliary arm comprises a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm hinged, the first connecting arm is assembled and connected with the chair body, and the auxiliary wheel and the seat cushion are assembled on the second connecting arm. This design enables the auxiliary wheel to be folded when not in use to reduce the size of the wheelchair.
[0007] As a preferred technical scheme of the wheelchair convenient for care, the first connecting arm is provided with a steering limiting seat, the bottom of the chair body is provided with a steering sliding groove matched with the steering limiting seat, and the end of the first connecting arm is rotationally connected with the bottom of the chair body. This design enables the caregiver to control the flexible steering of the wheelchair.
[0008] As a preferred technical scheme of the wheelchair convenient for care, the second connecting arm is provided with a seat pipe, and the bottom of the seat cushion is provided with a supporting pipe fixedly sleeved with the seat pipe. This design enables the seat cushion to be detachable and height-adjustable, improving the use experience of the caregiver.
[0009] As a preferred technical scheme of the wheelchair convenient for care, the back of the chair body is provided with a handrail, and the handrail is provided with a second control panel. This design facilitates the caregiver to operate the wheelchair, improving the convenience of operation and the practicability of the wheelchair.
