Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to an electric wheelchair capable of realizing lifting adjustment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electric wheelchair technology, various electric wheelchairs with lifting adjustment functions have been widely used in the daily life and rehabilitation care of the elderly and people with limited mobility. However, existing products still have problems such as complex structures, inconvenient operations, and poor adaptability when realizing the lifting adjustment function, and it is difficult to fully meet the users' requirements for comfort, safety, and autonomy.

[0003] After retrieval, an electric wheelchair with lifting and docking functions with the publication number CN108652849B was disclosed, and the publication date was March 26, 2024. This patent realizes the lifting movement of the overall seat by setting a lifting device at the exact center position of the wheelchair chassis and fixing the seat on the lifting device, and at the same time combines a docking device to complete the transfer docking with home facilities. Although this structure realizes the basic lifting function, the centralized arrangement of its lifting device at the center of the chassis results in a strong dependence on the overall structural rigidity, and it is easy to generate eccentric load or晃动 during the lifting process, affecting the running stability; in addition, this solution only realizes the overall lifting of the seat, lacks the linkage adjustment of components such as footrests and backrests, and cannot be personalized according to the user's body type or posture requirements, limiting the comfort and functionality of use.

[0004] After retrieval, an electric folding wheelchair capable of climbing up and down steps with the publication number CN112220619B was disclosed, and the publication date was February 11, 2025. This patent uses a scissor mechanical structure as the wheelchair seat lifting assembly to realize the lifting and translation of the seat, and at the same time cooperates with the function of climbing up and down steps to improve the terrain passing ability. Although this solution realizes a relatively flexible lifting and folding function, the scissor mechanism occupies a large space during the unfolding and folding process, and the ground clearance at the bottom is small in the low posture, resulting in insufficient passing ability; more importantly, this lifting structure does not form a coordinated control with the wheelchair center of gravity adjustment, and it is easy to cause the whole machine to tilt forward or backward during the lifting process, lacking a stability guarantee mechanism and having potential safety hazards, especially when used on slopes or uneven roads, the risk is higher.

[0005] The aforementioned problems indicate that current electric wheelchairs with height adjustment functions generally suffer from drawbacks such as limited functionality, poor structural stability, and insufficient ergonomics, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve smoothness, safety, and user comfort during height adjustment. Therefore, this invention provides an electric wheelchair with height adjustment capabilities, aiming to optimize the layout of the height adjustment mechanism and achieve coordinated adjustment of multiple components such as the seat, footrests, and backrest. This enhances stability and ergonomic adaptability during height adjustment, thereby solving problems such as unstable height adjustment, limited posture adjustment, and insufficient safety in existing technologies, and meeting users' higher demands for intelligent and comfortable electric wheelchairs.

[0027] In actual use, when the seat assembly 2 needs to be raised or lowered, the user activates the drive unit 12 via the control panel 14. The output shaft of the drive unit 12 drives the second bevel gear to rotate, which meshes with the first bevel gear, thereby driving the transmission screw 7 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission screw 7 causes the guide block 8 to move up and down along the sliding guide rail 6. The movement of the guide block 8 pushes the seat assembly 2 to achieve smooth raising and lowering through the connecting rod assembly 9. The sliding guide rail 6 effectively limits the movement trajectory of the guide block 8, avoiding uneven loading or swaying. At the same time, the balance airbag 10 and the center of gravity adjustment device 11 work together. The pressure sensor 23 monitors the change in the center of gravity of the chassis frame 1 in real time and transmits the signal to the control panel 14. When a center of gravity shift is detected, the control panel 14 controls the air pump to replenish gas into the balance airbag 10 to ensure the stability of the whole machine during the raising and lowering process.

[0028] The width of seat assembly 2 can be adjusted via adjustment rod 16. After the user rotates the knob on adjustment rod 16 to release the locking mechanism, adjustment rod 16 can slide within the groove of the side panel, thereby changing the seat width to accommodate users of different body types. The height of footrest assembly 3 can be adjusted via telescopic rod 18. The user adjusts the extension length of telescopic rod 18 as needed and fixes its position via a limit block, thereby adjusting the height of footrest 17. The angle of backrest assembly 4 can be controlled via adjustment motor 20. The user starts adjustment motor 20 via control panel 14, and the output shaft of adjustment motor 20 drives the swing arm to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of backrest 19 to meet the comfort needs of different users.

[0029] The shock-absorbing wheels 13 further enhance the driving stability of the electric wheelchair. The elastic elements effectively absorb road vibrations, reducing the impact on the user. The access panel facilitates the inspection and maintenance of components inside the chassis frame 1 by the user or maintenance personnel. The sealing strip and magnetic adsorption on the cover ensure the airtightness of the access panel, preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the chassis frame 1.

[0030] This utility model achieves smooth operation of the lifting and adjusting mechanism 5 through the above-described specific embodiments, optimizing stability and safety during the lifting process. Simultaneously, it realizes multi-component linkage adjustment of the seat assembly 2, footrest assembly 3, and backrest assembly 4, significantly improving human-machine adaptability and solving the problems of unstable lifting, limited posture adjustment, and insufficient safety in existing technologies. This meets users' higher demands for intelligent and comfortable electric wheelchairs. To better enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of its operating principle and implementation steps is provided in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0031] In actual use, when the user needs to adjust the height of the electric wheelchair, they first activate the drive unit 12 via the control panel 14. The output shaft of the drive unit 12 drives the second bevel gear to rotate, and the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear, thereby transmitting power to the transmission screw 7. The rotation of the transmission screw 7 causes the guide block 8 to move up and down along the sliding guide rail 6. The parallel arrangement of the sliding guide rail 6 restricts the movement trajectory of the guide block 8, ensuring that it moves only in a predetermined direction without deviation or wobbling. The movement of the guide block 8 further propels the seat assembly 2 to rise and fall smoothly via the linkage assembly 9. During this process, the design of the sliding guide rail 6 effectively avoids the phenomenon of uneven load caused by uneven load, thereby improving the stability of the lifting process.

[0032] Meanwhile, the balance airbag 10 and the center of gravity adjustment device 11 work together to ensure the stability of the entire machine during lifting and lowering. The pressure sensor 23 monitors the center of gravity changes of the chassis frame 1 in real time and transmits the signal to the control panel 14. When a center of gravity shift is detected, the control panel 14 controls the air pump to replenish gas into the balance airbag 10, causing a change in air pressure within the balance airbag 10, thereby adjusting the overall center of gravity distribution of the chassis frame 1. This dynamic adjustment mechanism effectively prevents the risk of the electric wheelchair tipping forward or backward during lifting and lowering, significantly improving safety.

[0033] Regarding the width adjustment of seat assembly 2, users can achieve a personalized fit by manually operating the adjustment lever 16. Specifically, by rotating the knob on the adjustment lever 16 and releasing the locking mechanism, the adjustment lever 16 can slide within the groove in the side panel. By changing the position of the adjustment lever 16, the width of seat assembly 2 can be adjusted to accommodate the needs of users of different body types. This design not only improves the ergonomics of the seat but also enhances user comfort.

[0034] The height adjustment of the foot pedal assembly 3 is achieved through the telescopic rod 18. Users can adjust the extension length of the telescopic rod 18 according to their needs and fix its position using a limiting block. The anti-slip textured design of the limiting block ensures that the telescopic rod 18 will not slip due to external force after locking, thus ensuring the foot pedal 17 remains at a stable height. This adjustment mechanism can meet the needs of users of different heights while avoiding fatigue or discomfort caused by an unsuitable foot pedal height.

[0035] The angle adjustment of the backrest assembly 4 is accomplished by the adjustment motor 20. The user activates the adjustment motor 20 via the control panel 14. The output shaft of the adjustment motor 20 drives the swing arm to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the backrest panel 19. The arc-shaped support pad and ventilation holes at the top of the backrest panel 19 further enhance user comfort, effectively relieving back pressure, especially during prolonged use. Furthermore, the flexible backrest angle adjustment function meets the needs of different users in different scenarios, such as posture adjustment during reading, resting, or traveling.

[0036] The design of the shock-absorbing wheel 13 further enhances the stability of the electric wheelchair. When the electric wheelchair travels on uneven surfaces, the elastic element inside the shock-absorbing wheel 13 absorbs road vibrations, reducing the impact on the user. One end of the elastic element is fixed to the outer ring of the bearing, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the shock-absorbing wheel 13. This structural design ensures maximum shock absorption while extending the service life of the shock-absorbing wheel 13.

[0037] The access port facilitates inspection and maintenance of components inside the chassis frame 1 by users or maintenance personnel. Sealing strips and magnetic adsorption components on the cover ensure the access port's airtightness, preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the chassis frame 1, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the equipment.

[0038] In summary, this invention achieves both smoothness and safety in the height adjustment of the electric wheelchair through the specific implementation steps described above. Furthermore, the multi-component linkage adjustment significantly enhances human-machine adaptability. This design solves the problems of unstable height adjustment, limited posture adjustment, and insufficient safety in existing technologies, meeting users' higher demands for intelligent and comfortable electric wheelchairs.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
