[0026] The upper body support mechanism 2 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting part 15. It includes a U-shaped support frame 21 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the first mounting part 15 and a first driving member 22 mounted on the first mounting part 15 and connected to drive the U-shaped support frame 21 to rotate. The first mounting part 15 includes two vertical rods 17 positioned opposite each other at the top of the second mounting part 16, a rotating rod 18 connected between the two vertical rods 17 and rotatably connected to the U-shaped support frame 21, and a positioning plate 19 connected to the lower part of the two vertical rods 17. When the elderly person's upper body is leaning on the U-shaped support frame 21, they can maintain this posture by holding the two vertical rods 17, preventing injury during the support process. The arm supports 24 on both sides of the U-shaped support frame 21, a head support pad 25 on the side of the U-shaped support frame 21 opposite to the head, and a rotating part 26 on the other side of the U-shaped support frame 21 that is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating rod 18. The arm supports 24 and the head support pad 25 can support the elderly person's arms and head respectively, thereby improving the comfort of the elderly person and avoiding injury to the elderly person's limbs during the lifting process.

[0027] The lower body support mechanism 3 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting part 16. It includes a footrest 31 mounted on the top of the seat 11, a support frame 32 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the second mounting part 16, and a second drive member 33 mounted on the seat 11 and connected to drive the support frame 32 to rotate. Specifically, the second drive member 33 includes two second rotating electric push rods 34 rotatably mounted on both sides of the seat 11, each connected to one side of the support frame 32. Further, the support frame 32 includes a U-shaped rotating frame 35 rotatably connected to the second mounting part 16, a U-shaped rotating rod 36 movably mounted on the U-shaped rotating frame 35, and a fixing member 37 between the U-shaped rotating frame 35 and the U-shaped rotating rod 36. The fixing member 37 allows for adjustment of the support frame 32's accommodating space, making it suitable for different body types. For patients with this type of condition, the utility model is improved. Furthermore, the fixing member 37 includes two movable cavities 38 extending inward from both ends of the U-shaped rotating frame, allowing the two ends of the U-shaped rotating rod 36 to move back and forth, and two fixing knobs 39 movably disposed on the U-shaped rotating frame 35 opposite to the two movable cavities 38. When the U-shaped rotating rod 36 is fixed inside the U-shaped rotating frame 35, the fixing knobs 39 abut against the U-shaped rotating rod 36 inside the movable cavities 38. Furthermore, the lifting frame 32 also includes a hip support pad 321 disposed on the side opposite to the U-shaped rotating rod 36 and the second mounting part 16, and two soft pads 322 disposed on the side opposite to the U-shaped rotating rod 36 of the second mounting part 16. The hip support pad 321 can support the elderly person's hips, and the two soft pads 322 can support the elderly person's knees, preventing the lower body from hitting the mounting frame 12 when the elderly person is unsteady on their feet.

[0028] The control mechanism 4, mounted on the transport vehicle body 1, connects and controls the operation of the upper body lifting mechanism 2 and the lower body lifting mechanism 3. It includes a controller 41 connected to the first drive component 22 and the second drive component 33 on one side of the second mounting section 16, and a control panel 42 connected to the controller 41 between the two moving handles 14. Through the cooperation between the control panel 42 and the controller 41, the start and stop of the first drive component 22 and the second drive component 33 are controlled respectively, making operation simple. Specifically, the control panel 42 is a common touch control panel in the prior art, convenient for family members and caregivers to operate. Furthermore, the controller 41 can be a microcontroller or other controllers in the prior art that can achieve the above effects; its specific model and working principle will not be further elaborated here.

[0029] The specific operating principle of this application is as follows:

[0030] When in use, family members or caregivers assist the elderly person to a sitting position and move the transport vehicle 1 in front of the elderly person. At this time, the elderly person's upper body is first placed on the U-shaped support frame 21 and they hold the two vertical bars 17 of the first mounting part 15. If the elderly person is not strong enough to hold on, family members or caregivers can help the elderly person fix their arms on the two vertical bars 17. Then, the elderly person's lower body is moved into the support frame 32 so that their feet are supported on the footrest 31. Then, the control panel 42 sends the instructions to the controller 41. After receiving the corresponding instructions, the controller 41 can activate the first rotating electric push rod 23 and the second rotating electric push rod 34 simultaneously. The upper end of the first rotating electric push rod 23 pushes the U-shaped support frame 21 to rotate upward, causing the elderly person's upper body to stand upright. The upper end of the second rotating electric push rod 34 pushes the support frame 32 to rotate upward, causing the elderly person's lower body to stand upright and be supported on the elderly person's buttocks. This allows the elderly person to maintain a standing position on the transport vehicle 1 and get off the bed or wheelchair. Finally, the transport vehicle 1 is moved to move the elderly person to a suitable position.

[0031] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, through the cooperation of the transport vehicle body 1, the upper body support mechanism 2 rotatably mounted on the first mounting part 15, the lower body support mechanism 3 rotatably mounted on the second mounting part 16, and the control mechanism 4 mounted on the transport vehicle body 1, the elderly can be assisted in moving to a wheelchair or other locations, saving time and effort, reducing the workload of caregivers, and improving patient comfort. Furthermore, the two vertical rods 17 relatively mounted on the top of the second mounting part 16 can help the elderly maintain a prone position on the U-shaped support frame 21, preventing the elderly from falling off the U-shaped support frame 21 during the lifting process. 1. It can be prevented from slipping off; in addition, the two arm support pads 24, the head support pad 25 and the hip support pad 321 can support the elderly person's arms, head and hip respectively, thereby improving the comfort of the elderly person and preventing the elderly person's limbs from being injured during the lifting process; in addition, the two soft pads 322 can support the elderly person's knees and prevent the lower body from hitting the mounting frame 12 when the elderly person is unsteady; in addition, the fixing member 37 set between the U-shaped rotating frame 35 and the U-shaped rotating rod 36 can change the accommodating space of the lifting frame 32, so that the lifting frame 32 can be used for patients of different body types, thereby improving the practicality of this utility model.
