[0002] Chinese patent document CN209422279U discloses a wheelchair, which proposes a seat portion including a seat frame and a backrest. The backrest is rotatably connected to one end of the seat frame and can be flipped to a use position at a predetermined angle to the seat frame and a folded position folded over the seat frame. The base includes a base body and wheels mounted on the base body, with the seat portion detachably mounted on top of the base body. By detachably connecting the seat portion to the base, the seat portion and base can be transported separately, making the transported components lightweight and reducing the difficulty of transportation.

The inside of the seat cushion fixed tube 5-2 is made into a U-shaped structure with a groove at the bottom. When in use, the cloth seat cushion can be passed through the slot hole, and a round tube can be passed through the hole on the seat cushion for fixation. The holes of the cloth seat cushion are integrally formed without secondary fixation, reducing the risk of falling off when the cloth seat cushion is opened. The bottom fixed tube 5-4 also adopts a circular groove structure. Through such a series of designs, the negative draft modulus of the frame and the middle fork fixed tube is reduced, making its shape more suitable for the injection mold; on one side of the frame 7, there is a middle fork fixed tube fixing part 7-5, and on the frame 7, there are upper wing plates 7-10 and lower wing plates 7-12, and a third wing plate 7-11 is provided; below the frame 7, a pedal 9 is installed through the provided folding crossbar 8, and in front of the frame 7, a front wheel 10 is movably connected, and behind the frame 7, a rear wheel 11 is movably connected.
