[0002] A rehabilitation wheelchair is a special type of wheelchair designed specifically for rehabilitation training, physical function recovery, and daily activity assistance. It not only possesses the basic mobility functions of a regular wheelchair but also incorporates diverse ergonomic designs, adjustable structures, and assistive devices to meet different rehabilitation needs. This helps users gradually restore muscle strength, joint mobility, balance, and body coordination at different stages of rehabilitation. It not only helps those with limited mobility to escape bedridden status and participate in social and recreational activities through independent movement, thus regulating their psychological state, but also promotes the recovery of motor function through assisted rehabilitation training. For example, hemiplegic patients can use a wheelchair for bed-chair transfer training, gradually strengthening their back muscles and improving their sitting balance. Paraplegic patients can achieve an upright posture by using a standing wheelchair, which helps improve digestive function and boost self-confidence. Assistive wheels need to be installed during the production of rehabilitation wheelchairs.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 5 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0020] A mounting device for assistive wheels of a rehabilitation wheelchair, as described in the following description. Figure 1 - Figure 5 It includes a base 1, a fixed tube 2 installed on the top of the base 1, a support tube 3 installed on the top of the fixed tube 2, a movable tube 4 installed on the outside of the support tube 3, a bearing plate 5 installed on the top of the movable tube 4, a fixed ear 6 installed on one end of the outer side of the bearing plate 5, a movable block 7 installed on the fixed ear 6, a pressure plate 8 installed on the top of the movable block 7, and several support columns 9 installed at equal intervals on both ends of the outer side of the pressure plate 8, and a pressure block 10 installed at the bottom of the support column 9.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4A servo motor 11 is installed at one end of the fixed tube 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 11 passes through the interior of the fixed tube 2 and is fitted with a first bevel gear 12. A first threaded rod 13 is installed between the bottom inner side of the fixed tube 2 and the top inner side of the support tube 3. A second bevel gear 14 is installed at the bottom end of the outer ring surface of the first threaded rod 13. The first bevel gear 12 and the second bevel gear 14 mesh with each other. The output shaft of the servo motor 11 drives the first bevel gear 12 to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 12 and the second bevel gear 14 mesh with each other, the second bevel gear 14 will rotate accordingly, thereby driving the first threaded rod 13 to rotate. A movable ring 15 is installed on the outer ring surface of the first threaded rod 13. Slide grooves 16 are symmetrically opened at both ends of the movable tube 4. The two ends of the movable ring 15 are located in the two slide grooves 16. Inside the 6, a guide post 17 is installed. One end of the guide post 17 is connected to the inner wall of the movable tube 4. When the first threaded rod 13 rotates, the movable ring 15 moves up and down with the rotation of the first threaded rod 13. The guide post 17 is installed on the movable ring 15 and located in the slide groove 16 of the movable tube 4. When the movable ring 15 moves, the guide post 17 slides in the slide groove 16 to guide and limit, ensuring that the movable ring 15 can only move linearly along the axial direction of the first threaded rod 13. Through the cooperation of the guide post 17 and the slide groove 16, the movement of the movable ring 15 is transmitted to the movable tube 4, so that the movable tube 4 can rise or fall smoothly and accurately, avoiding swaying or deviation, improving the stability of the device, and realizing flexible adjustment of the height of the support plate 5 to adapt to rehabilitation wheelchair auxiliary wheels of different sizes and installation requirements.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 A fixing ring 18 is installed on the outside of the movable tube 4. A support plate 19 is installed on one end of the fixing ring 18. A second threaded rod 20 is installed on the support plate 19. The top of the second threaded rod 20 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable block 7. The bottom of the second threaded rod 20 passes through the support plate 19 and is connected to a handle 21. Rotating the handle 21 drives the second threaded rod 20 to rotate. Since the second threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected to the support plate 19 and its top is rotatably connected to the movable block 7, the movable block 7 will move up and down along the axis of the second threaded rod 20 during the rotation of the second threaded rod 20, thereby changing the height position of the movable block 7 relative to the support plate 5, so that the pressure block 10 can be aligned with the back of the rehabilitation wheelchair for pressing and fixing.

[0023] Reference Figure 5 A support frame 22 is installed at the end of the fixing ring 18 away from the support plate 19. A storage box 23 is installed on the outside of the support frame 22. The storage box 23 can be used to store tools, parts and other items required for installing the rehabilitation wheelchair auxiliary wheels, so that the operator can easily access them during the installation process, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of the installation work.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 Two corners of the base 1 are equipped with directional wheels 24, and two corners of the base 1 away from the directional wheels 24 are equipped with foot brake casters 25. The directional wheels 24 can only roll in a fixed direction to provide stable linear movement support for the device, ensuring that the device can move in the predetermined direction during movement. The foot brake casters 25 can rotate freely in all directions, allowing operators to flexibly change the movement direction of the device and realize the steering operation of the device. When the device moves to the designated position, stepping on the foot brake caster 25 can lock the caster, fixing the device in the current position and preventing the device from moving during use, ensuring the smooth progress of the installation work and the stability of the device during use.

[0025] The implementation principle of the mounting device for auxiliary wheels of a rehabilitation wheelchair in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: When using the device, firstly, the servo motor 11... Preferably, the HBS57 model is used. The servo motor 11 is electrically connected to an external power supply via a switch. The directional wheel 24 can only roll in a fixed direction, providing stable linear movement support for the device and ensuring that the device can move in the predetermined direction during movement. The foot brake universal wheel 25 can rotate freely in all directions, allowing the operator to flexibly change the movement direction of the device and achieve steering operation. When the device moves to the designated position, stepping on the foot brake on the universal wheel 25 can lock the universal wheel, fixing the device in the current position and preventing movement during use, ensuring smooth installation and stability of the device during use. The storage box 23 can be used to store tools, parts, and other items needed for installing the rehabilitation wheelchair auxiliary wheels, making it convenient for the operator to access them at any time during installation, improving the efficiency and convenience of the installation work. Turning the handle 21 drives the second threaded rod 20 to rotate. Since the second threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected to the support plate 19 and its top is rotatably connected to the movable block 7, the movable block 7 will move up and down along the axis of the second threaded rod 20 during the rotation of the second threaded rod 20, thereby changing the height position of the movable block 7 relative to the bearing plate 5. This allows the pressure block 10 to be aligned with the backrest of the rehabilitation wheelchair and pressed in place. The servo motor 11 is activated by a switch, and its output shaft drives the first bevel gear 12 to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 12 meshes with the second bevel gear 14, the second bevel gear 14 rotates accordingly, which in turn drives the first threaded rod 13 to rotate. As the first threaded rod 13 rotates, the movable ring 15 moves up and down with it. The guide post 17 is mounted on the movable ring 15 and located within the groove 16 of the movable tube 4. When the movable ring 15 moves, the guide post 17 moves within the groove... The inner sliding mechanism 16 serves as a guide and limiter, ensuring that the movable ring 15 can only move linearly along the axial direction of the first threaded rod 13. Furthermore, the movement of the movable ring 15 is transmitted to the movable tube 4 through the cooperation of the guide post 17 and the sliding groove 16, allowing the movable tube 4 to rise or fall smoothly and accurately, preventing swaying or deviation, improving the stability of the device, and enabling flexible adjustment of the height of the bearing plate 5 to accommodate rehabilitation wheelchair auxiliary wheels of different sizes and installation requirements. This makes operation convenient and more practical. The thread opening angle of the outer threads of the first threaded rod 13 and the second threaded rod 20 is 20 degrees. The thread self-locking condition needs to meet the following formula: Self-locking condition = coefficient of friction * tan(helix angle) ≥ 1.
