[0025] When working, the damping shock absorber 11, the upper arm 121 and the lower arm 122 support the fixed outer cylinder 101, preventing the upper arm 121 from colliding with the frame 4 and causing interference and unable to form a damping structure. When the front wheel damping part faces the vibration caused by the bump, the front driven wheel 1 absorbs the vibration and transmits it upward. The area close to the front side of the upper arm 121 and the lower arm 122 moves upward. The damping shock absorber 11 absorbs the vibration caused by the bump and slows down the transmission of vibration to the frame 4. The trailing arm 42 and the damping shock absorber 21 support the rear driven wheel 2 and press it downward. When the rear driven wheel 2 faces the vibration caused by the bump, the damping shock absorber 21 can absorb the transmission of vibration, and the trailing arm 42 and the frame 4 will only produce a certain rotation. The pull rod 51 and the pull rod 52 pull different trailing arms 42, reducing the possibility of left and right shaking of the rear driven wheel 2. The rear driven wheel 2 is located at the bottom of the frame 4 and is provided with a driving motor. The inside of the frame 4 is also provided with an area for placing the power supply. The rotating connection inside the vehicle frame is connected in the form of shaft hole rotation. A bearing is also provided between the shaft and the hole. This rotating connection method is a prior art. At the same time, the damping shock absorber 21, the damping shock absorber 11, the pull rod 51, the pull rod 52, the driving motor and the corresponding circuit are all prior art, and their working principles will not be repeated here. The relative rotation between the fixed outer cylinder 101 and the front driven wheel 1 also needs the cooperation of the bearing rotating column. The structure and method of relative rotation are mastered by those skilled in the art.

[0026] Through the above steps, a damping device is provided for each wheel of the electric wheelchair frame, so that each wheel of the electric wheelchair is independent of each other. When one wheel is affected by a bump, the other wheel will also be affected, which will cause the overall left and right shaking to intensify, reducing comfort. To solve the problem that the existing electric wheelchair does not have a damping system or the damping structure of the four wheels cannot work independently.
