[0037] Working principle: When using this device, the lifting and lowering of the backrest 14 is controlled by the handbrake 17 on the handle 16. When the user presses down on the handbrake 17, under the connection of the fixed sleeve 24, the steel cable pulls the pressure plate 23 to deflect, pressing the trigger pin at the output end of the telescopic rod 20. At this time, the telescopic rod 20 retracts. Under the support of the support block 18 and the connection of the bolt and nut 22, the backrest 14 begins to move downward, which can realize the downward adjustment of the backrest 14, allowing the patient to lie flat, but not to lie flat 180 degrees. Conversely, the wheelchair backrest 14 can be adjusted downward. The upward movement allows the patient to sit up. Simultaneously, the patient can press the third handbrake 25, which, through the switching lever 26, causes the two steel cables output by the lever 26 to simultaneously pull the pressure plates 23 on both sides, thus adjusting the backrest 14. The extension section 15 on the wheelchair backrest 14 can be detached. Furthermore, directly below the armrests 3 on both sides, there is a first handbrake 13 controlling the raising and lowering of the footrests 5, allowing the patient to easily control the height of the footrests 5. When using the wheelchair, the patient controls the movement of the footrests 5 by pressing the first handbrake 13. When the patient's legs are at a 90-degree angle, pressing the first handbrake 13... With the fixed sleeve 12 connected, the steel wire pulls the pressure plate 11, causing the pressure plate 11 to press the trigger pin at the output end of the telescopic rod 8, extending the telescopic rod 8. Under the connection of bolt and nut 10, this pushes the connecting block 9 to generate a counter-force. Through the connection of bolt and nut 6 and the protection of washer 7, the telescopic rod 8 drives the footrest 5 to deflect, allowing the legs to move upwards and achieve a flat position. When the legs are at 180 degrees, pressing the handbrake 13 retracts the telescopic rod 8, allowing the footrest 5 to return to its folded position. The handbrake 13 can also be used to stop the footrest 5 at any time. The wheelchair can be positioned at any angle. When using the handbrake 13, it needs to be pressed continuously to ensure the operation of the footrest 5. Releasing the handbrake 13 will stop the wheelchair. The armrests 3 on both sides of the wheelchair can be disassembled and installed to facilitate the use of the wheelchair by the patient. The armrests 3 are connected to the frame 1 by the sliding frame 2 and the manual bolt 4. Rotating the manual bolt 4 can complete the disassembly and installation of the armrests 3. When installing the armrests 3, the armrests 3 need to be inserted into the sliding frame 2 and then the manual bolt 4 is rotated to complete the installation. Disassembly is the reverse. The operation is simple and convenient and can be completed by one person, saving time and effort.
