[0032] The seating component 5 is fixed to the subframe 2; the seating component 5 includes a seat cushion, a backrest, and armrests, and the occupant generally sits on the seat cushion;

[0033] The first electric push rod 3 can adjust the angle of the main frame 1, while the second electric push rod 4 can adjust the angle of the sub-frame 2. The two can work together to adjust the angle of the seat. During daily driving, the first electric push rod 3 and the second electric push rod 4 can work together to adjust the height of the seat. When climbing stairs, the first electric push rod 3 and the second electric push rod 4 can work together to adjust the angle of the seat, providing better flexibility and a wider adjustment range.

[0034] In this embodiment, the main frame 1 includes two main supports 11 arranged at intervals along a first direction. Each main support 11 includes a main longitudinal beam 111 and a main transverse beam 112. The main longitudinal beam 111 and the main transverse beam 112 form an inverted L-shape. The two main longitudinal beams 111 are connected by a support tube 12. The end of the main longitudinal beam 111 away from the main transverse beam 112 is rotatably connected to the wheelchair chassis 100. The main longitudinal beam 111 is located at the end of the main transverse beam 112 near the front side of the wheelchair chassis 100.

[0035] The subframe 2 includes a base plate 21 and two sub-supports 22 arranged at intervals along the first direction.
