[0060] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0061] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model. Example 1

[0062] See Figures 1-7 As shown, an unlocking device 100 for a wheelchair motor includes a rotating cover 1 and a guide platform 2, which are mounted on the unlocking bolt 201 of a hub motor 200 (refer to CN108270318B). By rotating the rotating cover 1 horizontally, the height distance between the rotating cover 1 and the guide platform 2 is adjusted, thereby realizing the vertical lifting and lowering movement of the unlocking bolt 201 and achieving the unlocking function.

[0063] The lower end of the rotating cover 1 has a circular inner groove 11, and a first through hole 12 is provided at the center of the inner groove 11. Several protruding second guide members 13 are evenly arranged around the inner circumference of the inner groove 11 surrounding the first through hole 12. The second guide member 13 is composed of a second boss 131 and a second ramp 132. The second boss 131 has a certain height and width, and the second ramp 132 is inclined at a certain angle to provide guidance for subsequent cooperation with the first guide member 23.

[0064] The upper end of the guide platform 2 is a disc boss 21, which can be fitted into the inner groove 11. A second through hole 22 is provided at the center of the disc boss 21. The first through hole 12 and the second through hole 22 correspond to each other to ensure that the bolt can pass smoothly through the first through hole 12 and the second through hole 22 and be locked onto the unlocking bolt 201, so that the unlocking device 100 is firmly installed on the unlocking bolt 201. Around the disc boss 21 with the second through hole 22, several raised first guide members 23 are evenly arranged circumferentially. The first guide member 23 is composed of a first boss 231 and a first ramp 232. Its structure is similar to that of the second guide member 13, but the specific size and angle can be optimized according to actual needs.

[0065] During operation, the first ramp 232 and the second ramp 132 are tangentially arranged, and the different modes of the hub motor 200 can be switched by rotating the rotating cover 1. When the first guide 23 and the second guide 13 are in a staggered distribution, the hub motor 200 is in normal mode. At this time, the unlocking bolt 201 remains in its initial position, the pressure sleeve 202 connected to the unlocking bolt 201 is in its normal position, the spring 203 is in a naturally extended state, the armature plate 204 acts on the friction plate 205, and the hub motor 200 is controlled by the built-in electromagnetic braking device and is in normal braking operation.

[0066] When the first guide member 23 and the second guide member 13 are stacked, when the second boss 131 moves above the first boss 231, the unlocking bolt 201 is lifted, and the hub motor 200 enters the unlocking mode. At this time, the pressure sleeve 202 is lifted upward with the unlocking bolt 201, the spring 203 is compressed, the armature disk 204 no longer acts on the friction disk 205, and the hub motor 200 is disengaged from the control of the built-in electromagnetic braking device and remains in an operable state. When returning to the normal mode, the unlocking bolt 201 returns to its original state, and under the elastic force of the spring 203, the pressure sleeve 202 and the armature disk 204 move downward, and the hub motor 200 is once again controlled by the built-in electromagnetic braking device.

[0067] In this embodiment, three second guide members 13 are provided, evenly distributed around the inner groove 11 in the circumference of the first through hole 12, with sufficient distance between adjacent second guide members 13 to accommodate the placement of the first guide member 23. Correspondingly, three first guide members 23 are also provided, evenly distributed around the disc boss 21 in the circumference of the second through hole 22, with sufficient distance between adjacent first guide members 23 to accommodate the placement of the second guide member 13. Of course, the number of first guide members 23 and second guide members 13 is not limited to three. In practical applications, their number can be flexibly adjusted according to specific needs, for example, set to two, four, or even more. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific case where the number of guide members is three.

[0068] By configuring the number and spacing of the guide components in this way, a stable and smooth working relationship can be achieved between the guide components when the rotating cover 1 and the guide platform 2 switch between normal and unlocking modes. This layout effectively avoids malfunctions of the unlocking device 100 caused by collisions or jamming of the guide components, significantly improving the reliability and stability of the unlocking operation and ensuring the normal operation of the wheelchair motor unlocking function.

[0069] Furthermore, a stop 233 is provided on the disc boss 21 inside the first boss 231. The stop 233 is higher than the first boss 231 and surrounds the second through hole 22 to form a circular storage area. This circular storage area can play a certain positioning and limiting role.

[0070] Meanwhile, a cylindrical boss 16 is provided at the center of the inner groove 11, and the first through hole 12 passes through the center of the cylindrical boss 16. The size of the cylindrical boss 16 is adapted to the circular storage area, and it can be set exactly within the circular storage area. This structural design not only enhances the stability of the cooperation between the rotating cover 1 and the guide platform 2, but also protects and guides the components during the installation and operation of the unlocking device 100, thereby improving the overall reliability.

[0071] In this embodiment, the lower end of the guide platform 2 is provided with a slot 24 for inserting one end of the unlocking bolt 201, and the second through hole 22 is connected to the slot 24. This design allows one end of the unlocking bolt 201 to be stably inserted into the slot 24. After the bolt passes through the first through hole 12 and the second through hole 22, it is locked with the unlocking bolt 201, ensuring that the unlocking device 100 is securely installed on the unlocking bolt 201. At the same time, the connecting structure facilitates the installation operation of the bolt.

[0072] The rotating cover 1 has an upwardly protruding handle 14, and a mounting groove 15 communicating with the first through hole 12 is provided on the handle 14. The mounting groove 15 can be used to install some auxiliary components, such as mounting washers, to improve the stability of bolt installation. The use of the handle 14 also makes it convenient for users to operate the rotating cover 1.

[0073] In addition, the rotating cover 1 has a diagram on its end face to assist the user. The diagram is located on both sides of the handle 14 and can intuitively indicate the operation direction and mode switching method to the user. Moreover, the inner groove 11 is centrally located on the rotating cover 1, and the disc protrusion 21 is centrally located on the guide platform 2. This central design ensures the balance and stability of the rotating cover 1 and the guide platform 2, which is conducive to the normal operation of the unlocking device 100. Example 2

[0074] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 8As shown, an unlocking device for a wheelchair motor includes a rotating cover 1 and a guide platform 2, which are mounted on the unlocking bolt 201 of the hub motor. By rotating the rotating cover 1 horizontally, the height distance between the rotating cover 1 and the guide platform 2 is adjusted, thereby realizing the vertical lifting and lowering movement of the unlocking bolt 201 and achieving the unlocking function.

[0075] Compared to Embodiment 1, where the height of the rotating cover is changed via a ramp step using the first and second guide members, this embodiment uses a threaded connection between the rotating cover 1 and the guide platform 2 to adjust the height of the rotating cover 1. Specifically, the lower end of the rotating cover 1 has a circular inner groove with a first through hole at its center, and an internal thread structure on the inner wall of the inner groove. The upper end of the guide platform 2 is a disc boss, and the outer end face of the disc boss has an external thread structure 300. This external thread structure 300 is adapted to the internal thread structure of the inner groove, allowing the disc boss to be threadedly connected within the inner groove.

[0076] A second through hole is provided at the center of the disc boss. The first and second through holes correspond vertically to ensure that the bolt can pass smoothly through the first and second through holes and be locked onto the unlocking bolt 201, so that the unlocking device is securely installed on the unlocking bolt 201. Similar to Embodiment 1, a slot for inserting one end of the unlocking bolt 201 is provided at the lower end of the guide platform 2, and the second through hole and the slot are interconnected.

[0077] The unlocking device in this embodiment is used in the same way as the unlocking device in Embodiment 1. Both only require horizontally twisting the angle of the rotating cover 1 to switch the hub motor 200 between normal mode and unlocking mode.

[0078] The unlocking device 100 provided by this utility model, through the ingenious design and application of the rotating cover 1 and the guide platform 2, can efficiently achieve rapid switching between the normal mode and the unlocking mode of the hub motor 200. Users can flexibly switch between the two modes simply by rotating the rotating cover 1, without complicated operations, greatly saving time and effort, significantly improving the ease of use of the hub motor 200, and meeting the needs of wheelchair use in different scenarios.
