[0024] In use, the seat belt 2 is horizontally fixed to the upper part of the wheelchair body 1, forming a basic occupant restraint structure, effectively preventing the occupant from tilting forward or sliding sideways during wheelchair movement. The protective component 3 installed at the front of the wheelchair body 1 is firmly fixed to the bottom of the backrest of the wheelchair body 1 at the bottom, and connected to the middle of the seat belt 2 at the top. This design enhances the overall stability and protection.
[0025] Furthermore, the pad 33 in the protective component 3 is located on the seat cushion of the wheelchair body 1, providing an additional layer of comfort and support for the occupant. At the same time, as the basic part of the protective component, it ensures the stability of the entire protective structure. The flexible pad 31 connected to the front top of the pad 33, with its soft material and conformability, further enhances the occupant's comfort and reduces the feeling of pressure caused by long-term sitting.
[0026] The mesh fabric 32 connected to the top of the flexible pad 31 not only has good breathability but also disperses and absorbs the pressure generated by the occupant's body to a certain extent, making the riding experience more comfortable. The top of the mesh fabric 32 is engaged with the seat belt 2 through the connecting mechanism 5. This ingenious design creates a tight connection between the protective components and the seat belt, enhancing the overall fixation effect and ensuring the safety and stability of the occupant in various movement states.
[0027] In this embodiment, the mesh fabric 32 is made of a mesh non-woven fabric material, and the flexible pad 31 is made of silicone material. The mesh fabric 32, made of mesh non-woven fabric, has good breathability and comfort, effectively dispersing and absorbing pressure generated by the occupant's body while keeping the front of the groin dry, thus improving the riding experience. The flexible pad 31, made of silicone material, has excellent softness and elasticity, conforming to the occupant's hip curve, providing additional support and cushioning, and reducing discomfort from prolonged sitting.
[0028] Specifically, both sides of the pad 33 are fixed to the bottom of the backrest of the wheelchair body 1 by straps 34, ensuring the stability and reliability of the protective component 3 and preventing displacement or loosening during use.
[0029] Furthermore, the extension component 4 includes a horizontally arranged fixing groove 41, which is fixedly installed on the bottom front side of the wheelchair body 1. A movable plate 42 is slidably arranged inside the fixing groove 41. A limit block 421 is fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the movable plate 42 inside the fixing groove 41, and the limit block 421 can slide within the fixing groove 41. The design of the extension component 4 allows the wheelchair to be adjusted in length according to the different needs of the occupant. The movable plate 42 slides within the fixing groove 41, and the limit block 421 prevents the movable plate 42 from falling out, ensuring the stability and safety of the extension component 4.
[0030] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism 5 includes a housing 51. The top of the mesh fabric 32 is connected to the outer side of one end of the housing 51. A retaining plate 52 is provided inside the housing 51. The back of the retaining plate 52 is hinged to the inner wall of the housing 51 via a hinge seat 522. A hook 521 is installed at one end of the retaining plate 52. After the safety belt 2 extends into the interior of the housing 51, it engages with the hook 521. A groove 511 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 51 near the front of the hook 521. The design of the connecting mechanism 5 enables quick connection and separation between the safety belt 2 and the protective component 3. The retaining plate 52 rotates within the housing 51 via the hinge seat 522, and the hook 521 engages with the safety belt 2. The groove 511 provides sufficient space for the hook 521, making the connection and separation process smoother.
[0031] Furthermore, a slotted opening is provided at one end of the housing 51 near the hook 521 for the insertion and exit of the seat belt 2. A push plate 53 is installed on the top of the housing 51, and a pressure post 531 is installed at the bottom of the push plate 53. An opening 512 is provided on the top surface of the housing 51. The bottom of the pressure post 531 slides through the opening 512 and extends into the housing 51, pressing against the back of the other end of the push plate 52. Pressing down the pressure post 531 causes the other end of the push plate 52 to descend, raising one end of the hook 521 and separating it from the seat belt 2. Through the design of the push plate 53 and the pressure post 531, the seat belt 2 can be quickly released. Pressing down the push plate 53 causes the pressure post 531 to descend, raising the other end of the push plate 52 and separating it from the seat belt 2, making the operation simple and quick.
[0032] Furthermore, a return spring 532 is installed between the bottom of the button 53 and the top outer side of the housing 51. The design of the return spring 532 allows the button 53 to automatically reset after the seat belt 2 is released, maintaining the neatness and aesthetics of the connecting mechanism 5, while also facilitating the next use.
[0033] Furthermore, a clamping spring 54 is installed between the back of the hook 521 and the inner wall of the housing 51, and the clamping spring 54 is always in a compressed state. The design of the clamping spring 54 enables the hook 521 to maintain a tight engagement with the seat belt 2 when no external force is applied, which enhances the stability and reliability of the connection and prevents loosening or falling off during use.
[0034] When in use, the wheelchair restraint device of this invention firstly fixes the safety belt 2 laterally to the upper part of the wheelchair body 1, forming a basic occupant restraint structure. This design effectively prevents the occupant from tilting forward or sliding sideways during wheelchair movement, ensuring the occupant's basic safety.
[0035] The pad 33 in the protective component 3 is located on the seat cushion of the wheelchair body 1, providing an additional layer of comfort and support for the occupant. The flexible pad 31, connected to the top front end of the pad 33, further enhances the occupant's comfort and reduces pressure caused by prolonged sitting due to its soft silicone material and conforming fit. The mesh fabric 32, connected to the top of the flexible pad 31, is made of a mesh non-woven fabric material, offering excellent breathability and comfort. The mesh fabric 32 not only effectively disperses and absorbs pressure generated by the occupant's body but also keeps the area in front of the groin dry, improving the riding experience.
[0036] The length of the extension assembly 4 can be adjusted according to the different needs of the passengers by sliding the movable plate 42 within the fixed groove 41. The limiting block 421 prevents the movable plate 42 from falling out, ensuring the stability and safety of the extension assembly 4.
[0037] When it is necessary to connect the mesh fabric 32 to the seat belt 2, pressing down on the button plate 53 drives the pressure column 531 to move downward. The downward pressure of the pressure column 531 causes the other end of the locking plate 52 to descend, raising one end of the hook 521. At this time, the clamping spring 54 and the return spring 532 are compressed. Then, the seat belt 2 is inserted into the interior of the housing 51 through the slot, and then the seat belt 2 is hooked onto the hook 521. Next, the button plate 53 is released, and the restoring force of the return spring 532 drives the button plate 53 to return to its original position, and the hook 521 is inserted into the groove 511. When it is necessary to release the seat belt 2, pressing down on the button plate 53 raises one end of the hook 521 and separates it from the seat belt 2. The operation is simple and quick, realizing the rapid release of the seat belt 2.
