[0027] Please see Figures 1-6A foldable side support structure for wheelchair balancing includes a handrail support seat 2 fixedly mounted on a wheelchair handrail tube 1, and a foldable support plate 3 adapted to the handrail support seat 2. A support side plate 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the foldable support plate 3. Connecting seats 5 are provided on opposite sides of the support side plate 4. Each connecting seat 5 has a locking ring 6 adapted to the wheelchair handrail tube 1 on its side. Locking bolts 7 are provided on the side of the locking ring 6 for locking. Several inclined support plates 8 are provided between the foldable support plate 3 and the support side plate 4 for support. The foldable support plate 3 faces... One side of the support side plate 4 has a storage groove 9 that is adapted to several inclined support plates 8. A connecting shaft 10 is fixedly connected between the ends of several inclined support plates 8. The two ends of the connecting shaft 10 extend beyond the side of the inclined support plate 8. The opposite side walls of the storage groove 9 are provided with a first sliding groove 11 that is adapted to the connecting shaft 10. The opposite side walls of the storage groove 9 are provided with a number of first snap-fit ​​grooves 12 that communicate with the first sliding grooves 11 and are adapted to the connecting shaft 10. One side of the support side plate 4 has a number of second snap-fit ​​grooves 13 that are adapted to the ends of the inclined support plates 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, the wheelchair is equipped with a wheelchair armrest tube 1 and an armrest support seat 2 for placing the patient's arm. This auxiliary support structure is snapped onto the side of the wheelchair armrest tube 1 using snap-fit ​​rings 6, and the snap-fit ​​rings 6 are locked to the side of the wheelchair armrest tube 1 using locking bolts 7. Two snap-fit ​​rings 6 fix the position of the connecting seat 5, and two connecting seats 5 fix the position of the support side plate 4. When the patient is weak and needs to lie prone on the armrest support seat 2, the folding support plate 3, hinged to the support side plate 4, is rotated. Then, the tilting support plate 8 supports the folding support plate 3, extending the area of ​​the armrest support seat 2. The patient can place a soft cushion such as a pillow on the armrest support seat 2 and the folding support plate 3 to increase support for the patient. The wheelchair maintains a balanced state and can be folded when not in use, saving space and improving patient comfort. When the support side plate 4 needs to be unfolded, one end of the two inclined support plates 8 located in the storage slot 9 is rotated out, one end of the connecting shaft 10 slides in the first sliding groove 11, and a suitable first locking groove 12 is selected to lock the connecting shaft 10 into the first locking groove 12. The other end of the inclined support plate 8 is locked into the appropriate second locking groove 13 to support the support side plate 4. If the angle of the support side plate 4 needs to be adjusted, the angle of the support side plate 4 can be adjusted by selecting the appropriate first locking groove 12 and second locking groove 13, thus improving the applicability of the side support structure.
