Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] When using a manual wheelchair, the user needs to manually drive the manual wheels to move the wheelchair.

[0003] Manual wheels typically include a wheel body and a handwheel located on one side of the wheel body. The wheel body is used to contact the ground for support, and the handwheel is used by the user to grip and drive.

[0004] Currently, wheelchairs on the market typically have the handwheels welded to the wheel body. This design results in a small gap between the handwheels and the wheel body, and because it is welded, it cannot be adjusted. As a result, during use, the user's hand cannot grip the entire handwheel, making it difficult to exert force with the palm and requiring a lot of effort to drive the handwheels. In addition, because the gap between the handwheels and the wheel body is small, fingers can easily get stuck between the handwheels and the wheel body, thus posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to propose a plastic wheelchair handrail that can adjust the distance between the handrail and the wheel body, effectively solving safety hazards.

[0010] Preferably, in the above-mentioned plastic wheelchair armrests, the sliding block is adapted to the guide groove.

[0011] Preferably, the aforementioned plastic wheelchair handrail has a supporting crossbeam on its body.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the wheelchair plastic handrail described above is provided with an anti-slip part.

[0013] Preferably, in the aforementioned plastic wheelchair armrests, the supporting steel bars are connected to the transmission seat in a ring arrangement.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) Since the handwheel body is connected to the inner ring of the wheel through the telescopic adjustment component, when in use, the user can unfold the handwheel body to the outside of the inner ring of the wheel through the telescopic adjustment component, thereby adjusting the distance between the handwheel body and the inner ring of the wheel.
