The surface of connecting block 1 51 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the restraint strap 3. The surface of connecting block 2 52 is fixedly connected to the rear end of connecting rope 4. Several locking holes 301 are equidistantly opened on the top of the binding strap 3. One end of connecting rope 4 is fixedly connected to adjusting block 6. Pressing plate 61 is slidably installed on the top of adjusting block 6. A through hole 601 is opened on one side of the outer wall of adjusting block 6. A cavity 602 is opened inside adjusting block 6. Connecting block 1 51 and connecting block 2 52 are slidably installed inside the two sliding grooves 201 respectively. Limiting block 53 is fixedly installed on the surface of lifting plate 5. Limiting block 53 is slidably installed inside the positioning groove 202. The output end of drive motor 22 is fixedly connected to the top of lead screw 23. The inner wall of lifting plate 5 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of lead screw 23.
[0024] In this embodiment, the adjusting block 6 installed at one end of the connecting rope 4 can lock and fix the restraint strap 3, thereby connecting and fixing the connecting rope 4 and the restraint strap 3, which can provide protection for disabled elderly people. The screw rod 23 is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 5, so that the rotation of the screw rod 23 can drive the lifting plate 5 to move up and down. The restraint strap 3 and the connecting rope 4 are respectively connected to the first connecting block 51 and the second connecting block 52, so that the movement of the lifting plate 5 can control the height of the restraint strap 3 to suit elderly people of different heights. The limiting block 53 is installed inside the positioning groove 202 and can slide, which can improve the stability of the lifting plate 5 during the movement process.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the shape of the restraint strap 3 matches the shape of the through hole 601. The restraint strap 3 slides through the interior of the through hole 601. A movable plate 7 is provided inside the cavity 602. A locking block 71 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 7. The bottom end of the locking block 71 extends downward into the interior of the through hole 601. A connecting rod 62 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the pressing plate 61. A guide rod 63 is fixedly installed inside the cavity 602. Springs 64 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the surface of the guide rod 63. Two sliders 65 are slidably installed on the surface of the adjusting block 6. The top end of the slider 65 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 62. A rotating rod 66 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the slider 65. The bottom end of the rotating rod 66 is rotatably connected to the top of the movable plate 7.
[0027] In this embodiment, the restraint strap 3 is installed inside the sliding groove 201 so that it can slide. The locking hole 301 at the top of the restraint strap 3 cooperates with the locking block 71 to lock and fix the restraint strap 3, so that the restraint strap 3 can be fixed for use to protect the disabled elderly. The upper and lower ends of the connecting rod 62 are connected to the pressing plate 61 and the slider 65 respectively, so that when the pressing plate 61 moves down, it can drive the slider 65 to move. The spring 64 can make the slider 65 return to its original position after moving. The upper and lower ends of the rotating rod 66 are connected to the slider 65 and the movable plate 7 respectively, so that when the slider 65 moves, it can drive the movable plate 7 to move upward. Removing the locking block 71 from the locking hole 301 can release the fixation of the restraint strap 3, so that the restraint strap 3 can slide freely, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the protection length of the restraint strap 3 for use by disabled elderly people of different body types.
[0028] Working principle: The disabled elderly person can perform basic daily movements by sitting in wheelchair 1. The backrest 2 provides support. Activating the drive motor 22 rotates the lead screw 23, adjusting the height of the lifting plate 5 and aligning the restraint strap 3 and connecting rope 4 to a suitable height. Then, by pushing down the pressing plate 61, the pressing plate 61 descends, causing the connecting rod 62 to rotate and the slider 65 to slide outwards. Simultaneously, this compresses the spring 64 on the surface of the guide rod 63, causing the rotating rod 66 to be compressed by the sliding spring. The pulling of block 65 lifts the movable plate 7 downwards, causing the locking block 71 to move upwards into the cavity 602. Then, the restraint strap 3 slides through the through hole 601. The restraint strap 3 and the connecting rope 4 are adjusted to a suitable length. The pressing plate 61 is released, causing the spring 64 to rebound. At this time, the movable plate 7 and the locking block 71 move back together. The locking block 71 moves down and embeds into the locking hole 301 to limit and fix the restraint strap 3, so that the restraint strap 3 can be fixed for use in protecting disabled elderly people. It can also be used by disabled elderly people of different heights and body types.
