[0002] Currently, wheelchairs are widely used in daily life as an important mobility aid for people with mobility impairments (such as the elderly, those with lower limb injuries or illnesses). However, existing wheelchairs generally have some shortcomings. On the one hand, the leg rest angles are mostly fixed, making it difficult to adjust them according to the user's specific needs. For people who require special care for their lower limbs, such as patients who need to elevate their lower limbs to promote blood circulation and relieve swelling or pain, fixed-angle leg rests cannot provide personalized support, affecting the effectiveness and comfort of use.
[0003] On the other hand, the seat height is usually fixed. Users of different heights and body types may find the seat too high or too low, making it inconvenient to get in and out of the wheelchair and causing fatigue after prolonged use.
[0004] In addition, the existing storage space for wheelchairs is relatively limited, making it difficult for users to properly store their belongings, which causes inconvenience to daily travel.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0016] 1. The adjustable leg support mechanism achieves flexible adjustment of the leg support angle through components such as the leg support rod, foot pedal, arc-shaped adjustment plate, and fixing block. The arc-shaped adjustment plate has six first adjustment holes with different angles (30 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 135 degrees, and 150 degrees). Users can adjust the leg support rod to a suitable angle according to their own lower limb care needs and comfort by engaging the fixing bolt with different first adjustment holes. For example, when users need to slightly elevate their lower limbs to promote blood circulation, they can choose 30 degrees or 60 degrees; when they need their legs to be in a vertical position for rest, they can adjust it to 90 degrees; for situations requiring a larger angle of leg elevation to relieve swelling, they can choose angles such as 120 degrees, 135 degrees, or 150 degrees. This adjustable design can meet the needs of different users in different scenarios, effectively improving lower limb blood circulation, reducing lower limb pressure, and enhancing user comfort and care effect. In addition, the handle at the end of the fixing bolt allows for easy manual operation by the user, eliminating the need for tools and making the adjustment process simple and quick.
[0017] 2. The shelving mechanism includes an L-shaped support rod, a tray, baffles, and a lower connecting part, providing ample storage space for users. The L-shaped support rod is mounted on the front support leg of the wheelchair, with one end rotatably connected to the lower connecting part via a locking plate and slot. This design allows the tray to rotate as needed, facilitating the placement and retrieval of items. Baffles around the top of the tray prevent items from slipping, improving safety. The baffles are rotatably connected to the support rod via an axle and secured with pins, cross-shaped inserts, and cross-shaped slots. Users can flexibly adjust the angle and position of the baffles according to the height and shape of the items to accommodate different needs. Additionally, the cup holder on the tray is specifically designed to secure cylindrical items such as cups, preventing them from tipping over and further enhancing the practicality of the shelving.
[0018] 3. The height-adjustable seat mechanism achieves adjustable seat height through the cooperation of components such as support cylinders, adjusting rods, and positioning pins. Symmetrically arranged support cylinders on both sides of the wheelchair body contain adjustable rods that can move up and down. Evenly distributed second adjustment holes on the adjusting rods engage with fixing holes on the support cylinders via positioning pins, thus fixing the adjusting rods at different height positions and achieving seat height adjustment. This design can accommodate users of different heights and body types, ensuring that the user's feet can be stably placed on the ground when using the wheelchair, improving stability and comfort. At the same time, the adjustable seat height also facilitates users getting in and out of the wheelchair, reducing inconvenience and safety hazards caused by unsuitable seat height.
