Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a multifunctional modular wheelchair. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of intelligent equipment, the field of medical rehabilitation equipment has also been undergoing continuous reforms. As an essential medical device for rehabilitation patients with limited mobility, wheelchairs play a crucial role in the rehabilitation field.
[0003] In rehabilitation training, patients need to undergo various rehabilitation exercises, alternating between three types of assistive tools: wheelchairs, walking aids, and crutches, depending on the usage scenario and needs. This results in redundant tools during training, making them inconvenient to carry. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is: to address the issue of redundant and inconvenient-to-carry rehabilitation assistive devices, this invention provides a multifunctional modular wheelchair whose components can be quickly disassembled and assembled into the required walking aid or cane, and can be switched for use in different application scenarios, reducing the amount of assistive devices to carry.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a multi-functional assembled wheelchair, including a bottom support component and a top back support component that is fitted to the bottom support component;
[0006] The bottom support assembly includes two L-shaped support frames and two uprights, with each upright corresponding to one of the support frames; the two support frames are horizontally and parallel, and each support frame has a connector on its long side, which is sleeved on the upright; the upright is hollow.
[0007] The back support assembly includes two outer cylindrical rods and two assembleable backrest panels, each corresponding to one of the outer cylindrical rods. The bottom end of each outer cylindrical rod is detachably connected to the upright, and one side of each backrest panel is rotatably connected to the outer cylindrical rod. An inner cylindrical rod is slidably connected inside each outer cylindrical rod, and a handle is hinged to the top of the inner cylindrical rod. The back support assembly and the bottom support assembly can be disassembled by separating the outer cylindrical rods from the upright. When the backrest panels are not disassembled, the back support assembly can be used as a walking aid. After the backrest panels are disassembled, the back support assembly is divided into two branches, with the inner and outer cylindrical rods working together to extend the rod body, which, together with the handle, can be used as a cane. This achieves the effect of reducing the workload of carrying while allowing for quick tool changes as needed.
[0008] Furthermore, a limiting member is movably provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder rod. The limiting member consists of a vertical part and a horizontal part that are perpendicular to each other. One end of the vertical part is fixedly connected to one end of the horizontal part. An auxiliary wheel is rotatably provided at the other end of the horizontal part. The auxiliary wheel is located on the outside of the outer cylinder rod.
[0009] The inner wall of the outer cylinder rod is provided with a limiting ring, the outer side of which engages with the outer cylinder rod. The horizontal plane of the limiting ring is higher than the horizontal plane of the horizontal axis. The other end of the vertical part passes through the opening of the limiting ring, and the rod body of the vertical part and the limiting ring are connected by friction to achieve a movable fit. Thus, the limiting member moves up and down at the limiting ring via the vertical part to adjust the distance between the horizontal part and the bottom of the outer cylinder rod; and by rotating at the limiting ring via the vertical part, it adjusts the specific position of the auxiliary wheel on the outside of the outer cylinder rod and adjusts the wheel surface orientation to adapt to the patient's movement direction.
[0010] Furthermore, a first stop block is provided at the top of the vertical part, and a second stop block is sleeved on the rod body of the vertical part. Both the first stop block and the second stop block are set inside the outer cylinder rod in a clearance fit manner. The axis of the vertical part is perpendicular to the end faces of the first stop block and the second stop block, and a gap is left between the first stop block and the second stop block. The limiting ring is located between the first stop block and the second stop block.
[0011] The distance between the outer side of the first gear block and the axis of the vertical part is A, the distance between the outer side of the second gear block and the axis of the vertical part is B, and the distance between the inner ring of the limiting ring and the axis of the vertical part is less than A and B; thus, the first gear block and the second gear block can ensure that the vertical part does not detach from the outer cylinder rod while not hindering the adjustment of the auxiliary wheel.
[0012] Furthermore, a J-shaped through groove is provided on one side of the upright, with the long side of the through groove parallel to the axial direction of the upright; the vertical end of the through groove extends through the top of the upright, and the hook of the through groove is located along the outer perimeter of the upright; the horizontal part is located on the side of the outer cylinder rod and slides in cooperation with the through groove; thus, the horizontal part provides positioning and guidance for the connection between the outer cylinder rod and the upright. When the horizontal part reaches the bend of the through groove, the vertical part of the limiting member is rotated by the auxiliary wheel, so that the horizontal part rotates to the hook end of the through groove, thereby fixing the outer cylinder rod and the upright.
[0013] Furthermore, a semi-circular groove is provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder rod, and the end face of the groove penetrates the wall of the outer cylinder rod. Multiple grooves are evenly arranged around the circumference. The diameter of the groove is larger than the diameter of the horizontal part. Thus, after the position of the auxiliary wheel is adjusted, the vertical part is pushed, and the vertical part drives the horizontal part to move upward, so that the horizontal part is in the corresponding groove. In this way, the rotation of the vertical part is restricted by restricting the circumferential movement of the horizontal part, thereby further enhancing the stability of the outer cylinder rod and the upright.
[0014] Furthermore, a bench surface is fitted onto the long rod of the support frame. The bench surface is horizontally positioned on one side of the outer cylindrical rod. A C-shaped sleeve is provided on one side of the bench surface. The C-shaped sleeve is fitted onto the corresponding upright of the support frame. The opening of the C-shaped sleeve communicates with the through groove. The two adjacent sides of the bench surfaces are detachably connected. Thus, the bottom support assembly can be disassembled and placed, saving floor space.
[0015] Furthermore, the connector includes a vertical sleeve and a hinge seat. The hinge seat is laterally disposed on one side of the vertical sleeve, and the bottom of the hinge seat is fixedly connected to the vertical sleeve. The vertical sleeve is sleeved on the upright, and an opening is provided on one side of the vertical sleeve, which communicates with a through groove. The end of the hinge seat away from the vertical sleeve is hinged to the support frame. Thus, the connector achieves the connection and fixation between the support frame and the upright without affecting the disassembly and reassembly of the outer cylinder rod and the upright.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the multifunctional modular wheelchair of this utility model is equipped with a detachable back support component, which is stably placed at the rear of the wheelchair when not in use and can be removed to become a walking aid when needed; the backrest panel in the middle of the back support component is designed to be rotatable, so that when used as a walking aid, the backrest panel can be rotated and placed horizontally, allowing the user to sit on it to rest when tired from exercise; the backrest panel in the middle of the back support component is detachable, so that the back support component is divided into two branches, and the outer cylinder rod and inner cylinder rod of the branch are combined with the handle to form a cane; thus, it can be switched for use in different application scenarios, reducing the amount of assistive tools to carry.
