[0042] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, the universal ball 41 protrudes from the movable connector 2 at one end facing the support component 3, and a positioning hole 411 is provided on the ball at one end of the universal ball 41 inside the movable connector 2. The movable connector 2 is provided with the second fastener 21, which passes through the positioning hole 411.
[0043] More specifically, multiple positioning holes 411 are provided to facilitate multi-angle adjustments; the universal ball 41 is slidably connected to the fixing member 42, and by rotating the universal ball 41, the second fastener 21 is inserted into the positioning hole 411, thereby enabling multi-angle adjustments.
[0044] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the support component 3 is provided with straps 31 and heat dissipation holes 32.
[0045] More specifically, the support component 3 is provided with a strap 31, which allows the patient to fix their arm and prevent it from slipping off when placed on the support component 3; at the same time, the support component 31 is also provided with heat dissipation holes 32, and there are multiple heat dissipation holes 32, so that the patient's arm can be ventilated and dissipated when placed on the support component 3.
[0046] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment 1, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support component 3 is made of flexible material.
[0047] More specifically, the support component 3 is made of a flexible material that has a certain degree of rigidity and can be bent into shape as needed. When the support component 3 does not need to support the arm, it can be bent into a flat surface. At this time, the support component 3 can be used as a small table to place everyday items.
[0048] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support assembly 3 is also provided with a mounting piece 33 on the back. The support assembly 3 includes a forearm support assembly and an upper arm support assembly. The forearm support assembly and the upper arm support assembly are connected by the mounting piece 33 in order to prevent the forearm support assembly and the upper arm support assembly from breaking due to excessive force.

[0053] In the specific implementation process of this embodiment 1, such as Figure 2 As shown, the movable connector 2 is a telescopic rod.
[0054] More specifically, the telescopic rod is a rod with telescopic function that can be lowered or raised as needed to meet the patient's needs.
[0055] The workflow provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model is as follows: The armrest is placed on the left or right side of the wheelchair armrest according to the patient's condition. When the patient sits in the wheelchair, they place their arm on the support component 3. The patient adjusts the guide rod 111 along the armrest direction using the first fastener 112 as needed, and adjusts the height of the support component 3 using the telescopic rod. The second fastener 21 is then adjusted to a relaxed state. When the hand is placed on the support component 3, the patient presses the support component 3 to rotate the universal ball 41, thereby inserting the second fastener 21 into the positioning hole 411, allowing for multi-angle adjustments to meet the needs of patients of different heights. When the patient does not need the support component 3 to support their arm, the support component 3 can be bent into a flat surface. In this case, the support component 3 can be used as a small table to place everyday items.
[0056] Example 2
[0057] A wheelchair includes an armrest as described in Embodiment 1 and a wheelchair body, wherein the armrest is disposed on the armrest of the wheelchair body.
