Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheelchairs, specifically to a folding frame structure for a folding wheelchair. Background Technology
[0002] The folding wheelchair's frame structure is made of high-strength aluminum alloy or carbon fiber, and its multi-joint hinge design enables rapid folding and unfolding, balancing lightweight design and stability. Its core consists of a transverse X-shaped cross frame and a longitudinal main beam, which retracts via a central locking mechanism during folding, reducing its volume by more than 50% for easy storage and portability. The frame joints are equipped with self-lubricating bearings and anti-loosening screws to ensure structural rigidity even after repeated folding. Some models feature added cushioning pads at the joints to reduce vibration transmission and improve pushing comfort. This design maintains the support strength and safety of traditional wheelchairs while ensuring portability.
[0003] Chinese patent CN218187136U discloses a quick-folding wheelchair frame. Sliding rods are slidably connected to the exterior of two main frame bodies. Scissor rods connect the two sliding rods to the inner sides of the two main frame bodies. Two adjusting rods are installed between the two sliding rods and the two main frame bodies. Wheels are connected to the external pivot points of both main frame bodies. Footrests are rotatably connected to the front of each main frame body. Adjusting sleeves are fixedly installed at the outer ends of each main frame body near the footrests. Foot pedals are rotatably connected to the front of each footrest. Adjusting boxes are installed at the rear of each footrest near the foot pedals. This quick-folding wheelchair frame allows for simple and convenient folding and storage, effectively improving user efficiency and offering better future prospects.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0030] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.
[0031] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 A folding frame structure for a folding wheelchair, comprising a main frame 1;
[0032] The two main frame members are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides;
[0033] The main frame 1 is equipped with a back folding mechanism 2 to reduce the space occupied after folding;
[0034] The main frame 1 is equipped with an anti-pinch mechanism 3 to prevent the user from being pinched when the wheelchair is stored.
[0035] The backrest folding mechanism 2 includes a multi-stage folding assembly 21, a sliding assembly 22, and a locking assembly 23; the multi-stage folding assembly 21 is connected to the sliding assembly 22; the main frame 1 and the locking assembly 23 are both connected to the sliding assembly 22; the locking assembly 23 is connected to the main frame 1; the multi-stage folding assembly 21 is used to fold the backrest of the wheelchair in multiple stages; the sliding assembly 22 is used to move the multi-stage folding assembly 21; the locking assembly 23 is used to fix the sliding assembly 22.
[0036] In this invention, when the operator folds the main frame 1, the multi-level folding assembly 21 is first folded in multiple stages. Then, the sliding assembly 22 is used to slide the multi-level folding assembly 21 between the wheelchair wheels to reduce the storage volume. The main body of the main frame 1 is then stored using the anti-pinch mechanism 3. When the wheelchair needs to be unfolded, the anti-pinch mechanism 3 unfolds the main frame 1 while preventing the operator's hand from being pinched during unfolding. The sliding assembly 22 is then used to slide the multi-level folding assembly 21 to the upper rear side of the main frame 1, and the locking assembly 23 locks the sliding assembly 22. The multi-level folding assembly 21 is then used to unfold the wheelchair in multiple stages. This further reduces the space occupied by the folded wheelchair, making it easier to carry when traveling.
[0037] The multi-stage folding assembly 21 includes a back folding mechanism 211 and folding rods 212; the two folding rods 212 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the same back folding mechanism 211 on their respective sides; one end of one folding rod 212 near the sliding assembly 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the other back folding mechanism 211, and the other end of this back folding mechanism 211 is connected to the sliding assembly 22.
[0038] The folding back mechanism 211 adopts existing technology in the field, such as a wheelchair folding back structure disclosed in Chinese Patent CN203169470U; it will not be described in detail here.
[0039] The sliding component 22 includes a sliding block 221 and a dovetail slider 222; the sliding block 221 is fixedly connected to a back folding mechanism 211; the sliding block 221 and the dovetail slider 222 are fixedly connected, and a dovetail groove 223 is provided at the rear end of the main frame 1; the dovetail slider 222 is slidably connected to the main frame 1 through the dovetail groove 223; the dovetail slider 222 is connected to the locking component 23.
[0040] The locking component 23 includes a positioning pin 232; a positioning groove 231 is provided on the upper rear end of the main frame 1 and the sliding block 221; the positioning pin 232 is inserted into the main frame 1 and the dovetail slider 222 through the positioning groove 231.
[0041] In this invention, when folding the wheelchair, the operator folds both folding rods 212 using the two back folding mechanisms 211, then pulls out the positioning pin 232 from the positioning groove 231, and slides the dovetail slider 222 downward along the dovetail slide groove 223, so that the back folding mechanism 211 and the folding rod 212 are located between the wheels of the wheelchair, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the folded wheelchair and making it easier to carry the wheelchair when traveling.
[0042] The anti-pinch mechanism 3 includes an X-shaped bracket 31, an anti-pinch component 32, and a limiting component 33; the main frame 1 and the anti-pinch component 32 are both connected to the X-shaped bracket 31; two sets of X-shaped brackets 31 are arranged one in front of the other; the anti-pinch component 32 is connected to the limiting component 33; the limiting component 33 is connected to the main frame 1; the X-shaped bracket 31 is used to fold and store the two main frames 1; the two sets of limiting components 33 are symmetrically arranged one in front of the other; the anti-pinch component 32 is used to prevent pinching when the X-shaped bracket 31 is stored; the limiting component 33 is used to limit the anti-pinch component 32.
[0043] The X-shaped bracket 31 includes a first support rod 311 and a second support rod 312; the lower end of the first support rod 311 is hinged to the left main frame 1, the lower end of the second support rod 312 is hinged to the right main frame 1, and the first support rod 311 and the second support rod 312 are hinged in the middle; the upper ends of the first support rod 311 and the second support rod 312 are both connected to the anti-pinch component 32.
[0044] The anti-pinch assembly 32 includes a rotating shaft 321 and a vertical shifting frame 322; the two rotating shafts 321 are symmetrically arranged left and right, the front and rear ends of one rotating shaft 321 are respectively rotatably connected to two support rods 311, and the front and rear ends of the other rotating shaft 321 are respectively rotatably connected to two support rods 312; the upper end of the rotating shaft 321 is fixedly connected to the vertical shifting frame 322; the vertical shifting frame 322 is connected to the limiting assembly 33;

The cam lock adopts existing mature technology in the field, such as a cam locking mechanism disclosed in Chinese Patent CN110115619B, which will not be described in detail here.
